Chapter 246 The Case of the Snake Fairy in the Black Market of Jiangnan 1
In the state office.

Seeing the grandson's attire, the Duke and Duchess were stunned for a moment, and then came back to their senses after Yan Mo's repeated calls, and began to tell the whole story.
"We just deposited 20 taels of silver in Daji Bank, how could it involve counterfeit silver?!" Mrs. Wei was very remorseful, and felt that there were many strange things in it!
Wei Guogong then explained: "The Daji Bank was newly opened a few years ago. If you say it's very new, it's not that bad. There are quite a few dignitaries depositing money there. Why is there a problem?! "

Qi Yun thought for a while and asked, "My lord, what is the interest rate of Daji Bank?"

Wei Guogong: "A hundred taels is a surplus of twenty."

"Twenty for one hundred taels?" Qi Yun was slightly surprised, "In the market, it is generally a hundred taels for a profit of ten, and Daji Bank's interest is fully doubled!"

Wei Guogong continued to explain: "In the area south of the Yangtze River, the trade of all parties is very prosperous! In Mingzhou, most of the money houses have a profit of one hundred taels and fifteen."

"Don't deserve the extra five cents that Xiao wanted!" Mrs. Wei regretted, "I really can't wash it off even if I jumped into the Yellow River!!"

"Grandmother doesn't need to worry too much, I will leave this matter to my grandson." Qi Ming reassured, "If you want to know why Daji Bank is involved, you need to find out!"

Yan Mo: "My lord is right, my grandfather, my grandmother, and Tao Min's eyeliner are all outside the house, so I have to trouble the two of you to continue pretending to be sick."

"Ming'er, Yan'er, you just came back and are going out again?" Looking at the busy two, Mrs. Wei was very distressed.

"Grandmother, don't worry!" Yan Mo said carelessly in order to cover up Qi Ming's injuries, "Young people, run around more, it's okay! This matter is about the safety of the two elders, and the prince and I cannot sit comfortably!"

After these rhetoric, Yan Mo saw that Mrs. Wei didn't say much, so he hurriedly led Ming girl and Mr. Qi out to do errands, so as not to reveal his secrets!

When the three of them passed by the guest house, they happened to see Yulingzhou, Hanzi and Zhushui sticking out their three heads and looking out, and they still had the same expression, looking at Yan Mo expectantly. Those eyes were I'm talking, let us also show off our skills!
"." Yan Mo stared at the three heads for a long time, and finally agreed helplessly, "Okay, um. Your task. Separately search for several major banks, and record any changes!"

"Okay! Sister!!" The three of them clenched their fists and agreed in unison! !
Yan Mo ordered Lu Jiu to stay at the mansion just in case, and pretended to take care of the comatose prince while waiting for the third and fourth seniors who had not returned.Afterwards, she took Ming girl out alone, and went to the densely populated medical halls in the town.
Qi Yun and Xiaoyu disguised themselves and came to the back door of the mansion.

"Go!" Yu Lingzhou looked at the looming red light in the sky, and after confirming that there was no one around, he took the lead and slipped out!

The eyeliners who were paying attention to the main characters saw the princess going out, and quickly dispatched someone to report to Tao Min!
Tao Min, who was pacing and worrying in the government office, felt that he might have been hit by the concubine's trick of asking for warmth!What an afterthought!Being led by the nose without knowing it! ! !
Coincidentally at this time, the eyeliner ran back to report: "My lord!"

Tao Min: "How is it?"

"The princess took the girl out of the mansion and went to the direction of the medical clinic. There were crying sounds from time to time in the mansion, as if." Eyeliner said, leaning closer and whispering, "I'm afraid there is something wrong with the duke, the subordinates haven't seen the lord yet. Move around, I'm afraid you will be seriously injured!"

Could it be that I was worrying too much? Tao Min thought so, and after hesitating for a moment, he waved his hand and ordered those eyeliners to continue monitoring, and report any changes immediately!
The eyeliner had to be ordered to salute, so he hurried back to his post!
At this time in Wei's mansion, Mrs. Wei felt a little helpless when she saw a group of servants who were tired of crying and replaced by a group, but she couldn't stop, so she had to endure it!Hope grandchildren and daughter-in-law will come back soon! !

The sky is connected, in Qingzhou city not far from Mingzhou, it is a leisurely place with white clouds, bustling people, and the weather is beautiful, it is a good time to go out for autumn outings, but there is a young man in the crowd with his head drooping, his shoulders trembling, and he is about to cry look!
That's right!This person is Qi Ling!I should have arrived in Mingzhou long ago, but I just lost my way.
The Ninth Prince who was hit was messing around in the wind at the moment but just wanted to hire a carriage, who would have thought that he just took out the money!He was swept away by the quick-moving little thief! !
With his skill, he caught up with him!But when he saw that the thief actually distributed the silver to the poor people, and thought of those poor girls in the previous Qixiang case, he couldn't bear to pursue it any further, so he left silently.
No money, no carriage, lost, inevitable
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Sniffing in self-restraint, "As you said, there is no one who has ever been hungry. Ahhhhhhhhhh, second brother, I miss your second brother so much." Every time he mentioned the second brother, his crying was especially tragic, It's really pity for everyone, and mercy for heaven!

At this moment, click!A pancake wrapped in oiled paper suddenly fell from the sky!It was so dangerous that it happened to land at Qi Ling's feet!
"." Qi Ying looked at the noodles, sniffed dumbly, looked up at the sky and said, "Heaven. The pie fell." Unbelievable, he looked back and forth at the sky and at the noodles, and he was sure it was the sky. Drop the pie!Then he picked up the pancake and gnawed it hard! !Everything is delicious when you are hungry!The Ninth Prince can guarantee that this is the best noodle cake he has ever eaten! ! !
After his stomach was full, Qi Ling, who finally had the strength to think, felt more and more strange, no matter how empty the gods were, they would not take care of him alone!Along the way, whenever he encounters difficulties, he has a way to solve them. No matter how lucky he is as a prince, he shouldn't be so lucky? !Thinking of this, he rolled his eyes a few times, and walked forward!

On the eaves not far away, Lan Xue poked out half of her head, with a feeling of hating iron but not steel!Of course, when she saw that the Ninth Prince did not embarrass those poor people, she was also very moved, because she was also one of those poor people.

Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rescued her and her younger brother when passing by, and sent them to the Tianmu School to learn arts. Only then did she and Bai Xue find out that the one who saved them was Master Qi Zheng, the one who sent them to Tianmu Mountain is the real Crown Prince, and these two people use the same body.
No matter who it is to repay someone's favor, Lan Xue feels that she must protect the Ninth Prince!So, immediately take a step forward!As soon as the figure flashed, he followed closely! !
However, she did not expect that after the Ninth Prince got the pie, he would become even more unscrupulous!Knowing that I have no money, I dare to stay in a hotel at the top!Knowing that he has no money, he dares to take things from roadside stalls!After entering the mountain forest, I even walk with my eyes closed, not afraid of falling or falling! !
"Haha." Lan Xue, who was busy paying money and saving people, wiped the sweat from her forehead, turned her head and saw that the Ninth Prince was about to step on the ground!She hurriedly kicked it!Kick a wooden stake to the opponent's feet! ! !
Part of the reason why Qi Ying got lost and turned around was that Lan Xue was not familiar with the terrain in the south of the Yangtze River, and she didn't know where to go, so she could only follow the Ninth Prince foolishly!
However, can the Ninth Prince, who has such a big heart, go the right way?Lan Xue sighed, she no longer had the strength to make a move, but in desperation, she fell straight down with a plop!Fall in front of Qilin!Even those big and small bags fell down one after another!Loudly! ! !
"Haha! I'm finally willing to show up!" Qi Ling opened his eyes and saw, "Lan Xue?!" I really have the urge to see fellow villagers with tears in their eyes!He immediately reached out to hug her.
"Your servant is not willing to dedicate himself, Your Highness Ninth Prince, please respect yourself." Lan Xue raised her eyes powerlessly, the glass-like eyeballs reflected the slight skylight
"!" Qi Lin gasped, he didn't expect the other party's misunderstanding to be serious!Instantly froze in mid-air!That slightly immature face swelled into a ripe red apple at an extremely fast speed! "Puff puff puff!" He was at a loss as to what to do and quickly explained, shaking his embarrassment, "It's the appearance! It's not the dedication!!"

Lan Xue: "."

"Lan Xue." Qi Yan whimpered, and at this moment he really wanted to hug her, but he didn't dare to hug her, he just felt very wronged!If those aunts and sisters saw this scene, they would definitely feel distressed!

Only!Lan Xue's respectful face revealed a trace of disgust.
She stood up humbly and patted the dust off her body: "Why did His Highness the Ninth Prince leave the palace alone?"

Qi Lin pouted and said, "Run away from home. Who knows that's how it's always been played in the scriptures! That little mule ran away as soon as he wanted to, and stole a package full of money if he wanted to." Hu Tiandao, "Just to see the second brother! Why is it so difficult——"

"." Lan Xue pondered for a moment, then decided to raise her little hand to pat the other person's shoulder, and said like a little adult, "His Royal Highness is worried about the prince traveling alone, and specially sent servants to follow."

Qi Ling sniffed and said, "So, you were the one who took care of Xiao Wang all this way?" Even though the other party nodded slightly, he felt extremely touched! ! !
Then, there was a bray like a donkey in the air!

Seeing that the timing was good, Xiao Ren, who was hiding in the dark, took the opportunity to slap the little mule on the butt and let him return to his master!

"Little mule?! You're back! I knew you couldn't let go of Xiao Wang." When Qi Ling saw the old mount, he ran forward very touched and hugged him!
Only God knows what the little mule really thinks in his heart: If I hadn’t been coerced, I wouldn’t want to go back to you, that sexy ass of the quagga, my happy days are gone forever
Seeing this, Lan Xue looked around vigilantly. Although she was not sure, she felt that someone was always following her along the way, and that this person had extraordinary martial arts skills and was definitely above her!However, seeing that the man was not hostile, he sent back the little mule to the Ninth Prince, presumably because he wanted to protect her and His Highness the Ninth Prince.

Afterwards, Lan Xue and Qi Ying set off for Mingzhou again. On the way, as long as their direction deviates, small wooden darts will appear to block the way!
Seeing this, Qi Lin didn't know who the mysterious person was, but he didn't feel any hostility, so he and Lan Xue tried other directions. Finally!They have figured out Qingzhou, and it is getting closer and closer to Mingzhou!And along the way, not to mention the little mule to carry the luggage, and Lan Xue's face-to-face care, Qi Ling had to sigh, the feeling of having a personal maid is different!Comfortable enough to fly~
Within the territory of Mingzhou.

Yan Mo, who sneaked out of the hospital, led girl Ming to get rid of those surveillance tails, and sneaked into Daji Bank quietly.When they came to the door of the ledger room, the two stared at an iron lock, ready to use their sword energy to shake it open!Suddenly, someone came from behind! !

The two moved in unison, they turned and flew up to the beam, turning their waists and limbs!It is lying on the ground!

The clerk of the bank didn't know that there was a gentleman on the beam, and after he quickly unlocked the iron lock, he was about to step in when he was stunned!Ahh, before he could groan, he fell limply to the ground! !
"Let's go!" Yan Mo bypassed the guy and entered the bookkeeping room first!Afterwards, Yan Ming and the two split up to check various account books
The books in the room are piled to the brim, and the bookshelves and the floor are full of books of various colors. Although they are chaotic at first glance, they are in order.Those books are stacked on top of each other, exuding the unique smell of paper under the window light.
However, the bookish atmosphere in the room has nothing to do with Yan Mo!Originally, the finances in the cottage were all managed by Qing Muhui, she never asked, how could she understand such a complicated account book of the bank at a glance! "Yeah..." Yan Mo squinted his eyes and flipped through the paper, deeply feeling that the sentence "You know me, I don't know you" is very applicable to the current situation!
Qi Ming was different. After flipping through it a few times, he took out the key account book in just a moment, and was about to put it in his arms, but when he turned around, he saw Yan Mo holding an account book and flipping through it vigorously!

"Heh! Give it to me." Qi Ming took the object in the other's hand, flipped through it quickly and carefully, picked out a few books, and prepared to hide them in his bosom, but found that he couldn't put them down.
"I'll get it! Pay attention to the wound!" Yan Mo held all the key account books in his hands, and then asked, "What's wrong with these account books?"

Unavoidably the other party was confused, Qi Ming roughly summed up: "These account books have two major doubts. First, all the money deposited in the bank will flow out in a short period of time. Some loans are not smooth, but they can still maintain high interest rates. No movement. Second, most of the commodities involved are related to ships.”

"Why is it wrong to have something to do with the ship?" Yan Mo asked suspiciously.

"In order to generate interest, the bank will lend out the deposited silver, and the interest on the loan is often much higher than the interest on the deposit." Qi Ming explained, "However, the loan interest of this bank is only two cents higher than the deposit interest, so the It is necessary for the stewards of the bank to take the money to do business. In order to ensure smooth business operations, most merchants will choose different types of transactions. But the Daji bank only buys and sells ship planks, sails, winches, and oars, and does some transportation transactions by the way.”

"So." Yan Mo recalled, "When we sneaked past the lobby of the bank just now, I saw several ship models on the table."

Qi Ming continued: "What's even more suspicious is that the purchase price of these ship supplies is not low. In terms of the current market price, there is not much profit."

When the two were talking, they were startled to realize that the comatose buddy showed signs of waking up, so they quickly shrank back to hide!Hide behind the bookshelf! !
"Well, why did I fall asleep." The clerk scratched the back of his head, shook his head, looked around after waking up, and made sure that he was the only one around here, so he started to do business. He wanted to find a few account books and take them to the front hall.

Yan Mo and Qi Ming held their breaths, peeking at the guy's direction of action, using the terrain and bookshelves to hide and seek flexibly!After some silent moving and sliding, the two saw the door on their respective sides!When I was about to rush out in one go!
"No! I didn't fall asleep!" The guy seemed to have remembered something, touched his head back and forth, found a swollen lump, and jumped up immediately, "Ah! Who is it?! Who hit me ?!"

Yan Mo had a flash of inspiration, impromptuly picked up an account book, rubbed it with his fingernails, imitating the sound of claws scratching, and then threw the account book elsewhere!From time to time, it is accompanied by dense meowing! !
"Cat?" The clerk looked up vigilantly, and saw several books and ledgers falling down, "When did you come in?! Damn wild cat!! Sigh! Get out!!"

Yan Mo seized the opportunity to look around, and finally threw out an account book for the clerk to tidy up!Immediately afterwards, she grabbed Ming girl and ran away like a wind! ! !

At this time, on the east pier of the city, a cargo ship was slowly approaching the shore, and the transporters swiftly loaded the target goods onto the ship one by one.
In the shaking box, someone slowly woke up, it was You Yinan!

It is said that yesterday he took Zhu Mengxin to flee for his life in the city, but he didn't want the horse to be frightened. He couldn't control it well for a while, and was dragged by the crazy horse and lost his way!I don't know where I am in a daze!In the middle of the night, he was walking aimlessly with a man and a horse, and then he was ambushed by unknown people, and he lost consciousness when his head was heavy! !

Waking up is here!He didn't know where he was, let alone where Zhu Mengxin was!Looking up and down, he was thankful that he was still fully bearded and tailed, but his limbs were bound. Then it seemed that someone was transporting him.
