Chapter 277 Trapping the Family of a Rich Businessman

Chang'an City is hoarding goods, and Zhao Xun is still investigating the case of driving up food prices.Now there is an eyebrow for the time being.

I have to say that Wangcai's ability to handle affairs is really strong, and his influence is really great, so he got first-hand information very quickly.

"The situation is more complicated than we imagined. At first I thought it was those big families who were messing around, but now it seems that almost all the grain merchants in Chang'an are involved..."

"Except for your Pan family?"

"Of course, except our Pan family. You can't be unkind to the rich, this is our family motto."

Wangcai patted his chest and said.

"That's good."

Zhao Xun breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, what he was most afraid of was that the Pan family would be involved in this case.

After all, his relationship with Wangcai is so good, if there is a conflict because of this, it will be a waste of money.

"So what are you going to do about it?"

The question of Wangcai can be said to be on point.

Now the problem is indeed a bit tricky. It would be straightforward to enter the field directly to take people, but this may cause riots.

Those grain merchants don't have a fuel-efficient lamp, and hasty action will only arouse their strong resistance.

"Unless we have full evidence in our hands, it is not easy to directly arrest people."

Zhao Xun shook his head and said, "Is there any way to get evidence?"

"This evidence is not easy to get."

Wangcai also had some troubles for a while.

After all, this matter is different from other things. If you want to be convicted of hoarding goods, you must sneak into the mansions of these merchants.

Only by entering their warehouses can we find out how much food they have hoarded.

"If you don't know Brother Mingyun, can you ask the brothers in the academy for help?"

"Academy?"

This reminder from Wangcai is still in place, and it is considered to be on point.

"Senior Brother Six is ​​proficient in the technique of earth escape, you can give it a try."

Lu Guangdou, the sixth senior brother, is good at geomantic omen, and geomantic omen inevitably involves digging.

Sixth senior brother Tu Dun is a good hand, Zhao Xun had learned it when he was in the academy.

At that time, the sixth senior brother did not hesitate to dig three feet in order to find the context, digging all the way to a two-story bamboo building.

That is where the head of the mountain lived.

This is enough to show that the culture of the Great Zhou Dynasty is in the academy, and the culture of the academy is in the mountains.

The mountain leader is the heart of scholars all over the world.

But these are not the focus of Zhao Xun's attention right now, what he pays attention to is the sixth senior brother's earth escape technique.

As long as you master this technology, it is not difficult to sneak into the homes of these wealthy businessmen.

Of course, Zhao Xun could also fly into the house, but in this way, he could not get the criminal evidence of the wealthy businessmen.

But it's different with authenticity.

Brother Six can directly dig tunnels into the granaries of these rich merchants.

"Wangcai, I'm going to send a letter to the sixth senior brother."

It is naturally impossible to leave Chang'an now, so Zhao Xun wants to find his mentor Wu Quanyi, ask him to use the teleportation technique again, and tell the sixth senior brother of the academy to come to Chang'an to help him.

I believe that the sixth brother will not refuse, and it is not difficult to come to Chang'an with the strength of the sixth brother.

...

...

Zhongnan Mountain, Haoran Academy.

"Shan Zhang, my junior brother asked me to go to Chang'an City this time, I don't know why it is important."

Lu Guangdou reported to Shan Changhui immediately after receiving the news from Taoist Qinglian's teleportation technique.

"You can go if you want, as a teacher is not a god, how can you know everything."

The head of the mountain gently stroked his beard and said leisurely.

Seeing his teacher's immortal appearance, Lu Guangdou said with a smile: "In my heart, you are an immortal."

"Hehe, sixth son, when did you become as glib as your junior brother?"

"What the apprentice said is from the heart."

Lu Guangdou crossed his hands respectfully.

"You, go, go. Your little brother won't harm you."

The head of the mountain smiled wryly and shook his head.

Lu Guangdou felt ecstasy in his heart: "Thank you, Master, that apprentice is going."

...

...

Although Lu Guangdou's level of practice is not as good as that of the senior elder sister, the second senior sister, and the third senior brother, he is still the sixth in the academy, and his foundation is here, so it is impossible to be far behind.

But he said that he carried the basket on his back, and Yujian flew directly into Chang'an City.

Although there are restrictions in Chang'an City, the restrictions are not valid for academy disciples, and Lu Guangdou can come and go as he pleases.

Lu Guangdou had also been to Chang'an City before, and he touched the bad people's yamen along the way, and when he saw that the guards were heavily guarded, he stepped forward confidently and declared himself his home.

"Lu Guangdou, a disciple of the Lower Academy, wants to see you, Master Zhao Xun."

As soon as the guard of the villain's yamen heard that Lu Guangdou was a student of the academy, he immediately said respectfully: "Sir, please wait a moment, I will report to you."

Lu Guangdou was not annoyed either, and waited quietly on the spot.

It took about a cup of tea, but Zhao Xun ran out in a hurry.

"Senior Brother Six, you are here, you are finally here! I miss you so much!"

Zhao Xun rushed forward and gave Lu Guangdou a bear hug, excitedly said: "Senior Brother Six, I knew you would definitely come, you can always trust Brother Six!"

"Ahem, it's almost done. There are so many people watching my junior brother..."

Lu Guangdou always felt a little embarrassed, the picture was so beautiful that he dared not look at it.

"Okay, let's talk inside."

...

...

Bad people's office, Zhao Xun now has his own private room.

Although it is not as good as the bad handsome Feng Hao, it is already considered a good improvement.

"Come, Sixth Senior Brother, sit down."

Zhao Xun called Lu Guangdou to sit down, and then poured a cup of hot tea for Lu Guangdou.

"Sixth senior brother drinks tea."

Lu Guangdou took a sip from the teacup, squinted his eyes and said, "What kind of medicine is sold in your gourd?"

"Don't be so courteous, we are all brothers, just open the window and speak brightly."

"Yeah, Brother Six is ​​right."

Zhao Xun said indifferently: "This time, the sixth senior brother is invited to come, mainly because the sixth senior brother can help us build a tunnel, oh more than one, I'm afraid there will be many tunnels."

Zhao Xun knew that his request was a little too much, but right now he could only rely on Sixth Senior Brother.

He looked at Senior Brother Six pitifully, his eyes watery and blingbling.

"Uh, well, it's really difficult."

Lu Guangdou scratched his head.

If you just dig one tunnel, it doesn't take too much trouble, but digging multiple tunnels in a short period of time is an extremely laborious task.

"Perhaps we can call a few more people?"

Lu Guangdou asked tentatively.

"It's simple, I can dispatch anyone in the bad guy's office."

Zhao Xun patted his chest and said, "Just give orders, and leave the rest of the work to them."

Zhao Xun's invitation to Sixth Senior Brother is definitely not for coolies, as long as he guarantees the overall quality of the project.

"Since that's the case, it's better to hit the sun than to choose the day, and it will start tonight."

Lu Guangdou had full trust in Zhao Xun, and he said it without asking why.

...

...

Digging tunnels is both physical and technical work.

The entrance and exit of the tunnel must be concealed and cannot be easily discovered. The width and height of the tunnel must also be reasonable, because a large number of people must enter the tunnel to collect criminal evidence and transfer these criminal evidence out.

It has to be said that the sixth senior brother is definitely an expert in tunnel digging, as soon as an expert makes a move, he will know if there is one.

Zhao Xun was really convinced.

There is a specialization in the art industry, and the sixth senior brother is definitely a leader in this area.

"Sixth senior brother, when shall we do it?"

"Wait a little longer. The tunnel has been dug now, but it is more appropriate to wait until the dead of night to move."

Lu Guangdou rested his chin and thought for a moment: "These rich merchants should have quite a few guards, so it's better for us to be more cautious. You probably don't want to cause unnecessary trouble, right?"

"That's natural."

...

...

In the middle of the night, it was the time for the ghosts to walk at night.

Sixth senior brother Lu Guangdou ordered people to dig the tunnel from the villain's yamen to the rich merchant Gu's house.

Since the people who dig the tunnels are practitioners, the speed of digging is very fast, and the overall effort is not very laborious.

"It's time to start."

After Lu Guangdou gave the signal, Zhao Xun and other bad guys jumped into the tunnel one by one.

"The space in the tunnel is very narrow, be careful."

Zhao Xun walked in front, reminding the people behind him from time to time.

Lu Guangdou, the sixth senior brother, was in charge of the rear.

If there is any emergency, he can also respond immediately.

"Everyone try to follow closely and don't fall behind."

Zhao Xun has a lot of experience, and he knows that the most important thing at this time is not to fall behind.

As long as you don't fall behind, there will be no problems.

...

...

When Zhao Xun was the first to emerge from the tunnel, he found himself in an empty courtyard.

The yard is big enough and empty enough, with a circle of green plants planted around it.

"Come out, there's no danger."

This courtyard is where the Gu family hoards grain and granaries. Generally speaking, the gate is closed at night, and no one is allowed to enter or leave.

Zhao Xun asked Sixth Senior Brother to accurately locate the granary of the Gu family, and then dug a tunnel in one go.

Accurate docking, no difference.

Unscrupulous people came out of the tunnel one after another, Zhao Xun waited quietly, until the sixth brother Lu Guangdou got out, Zhao Xun was relieved.

"Sixth senior brother, we are going to move the grain out now. These are the evidences of their hoarding. The court expressly prohibits the hoarding of grain, but they commit it knowingly. The crime is unforgivable."

If Zhao Xun wanted to turn this case into an iron case, he naturally had to hold enough evidence.

"Okay, let's go. Keep your voice down."

Silence is not difficult for practitioners.

As long as the true energy is forced out and attached to the body, most of the sounds can be eliminated.

The remaining faint sound could not be heard unless it was a practitioner.

The action efficiency of bad people is quite high, and they will start moving food soon.

The moment Zhao Xun saw the grain piled up like a hill, he was beyond surprised.

"There is so much grain, even the county warehouse and mansion warehouse are no more than that."

It is said that a businessman is as rich as a country, and Zhao Xun has realized it now.

Now that the price of grain is so high, it is clear that there is gold in the grain that is piled up in the granary.

"These guys really want to be rich and benevolent. The soldiers are working hard, but they want to make a fortune for the country."

"Move the evidence back first. As long as the evidence is in our hands, we will take the initiative."

...

...

Overnight, bad people emptied the warehouses of the major grain merchants headed by the Gu family.

In an instant, the bad people's yamen was piled up like a Taicang with food.

Zhao Xun even felt that there might not be so much food in Taicang.

"Now the evidence is convincing. The bags of these grains are all marked with the marks of these grains. If the court reviews it, it will be clear and clear."

"Unexpectedly, their hearts are so dark."

Wangcai clenched his fist tightly and said with hatred.

"I'm going to the palace right now to report the results of the investigation."

"Okay, brother Mingyun, you can go at ease. Leave it to me here, and I promise that there will be no problems."

Wangcai patted his chest and promised.

...

...

Daming Palace, Zichen Palace.

Xianlong was trembling with anger.

"These bastards..."

Seeing that Emperor Xianlong was so furious, Zhao Xun felt a little pleasure in his heart.

Of course, it's not easy for him to show it, after all, this is the sovereign of Great Zhou in name.

Face still has to be given.

"Your Majesty, after investigation by the minister, a total of 57 grain stores were involved in the hoarding of goods. Now the grain they hoarded is in the yamen of unscrupulous people. The evidence is so strong that they cannot deny it."

Zhao Xun deliberately paused, wanting to see how Emperor Xianlong would react next.

Seeing that Emperor Xianlong didn't have any emotional changes, Zhao Xun continued: "Your Majesty, you must stop, and you will definitely suffer from chaos."

After hearing this, Emperor Xianlong really made up his mind: "Pass an order to search the house."

Stabilizing food prices is what he must do now.

If food prices are unstable, people will panic.

If the people are panicked, then this battle will be more dangerous than good.

...

...

The Neiwei, Jinwuwei, and Wucheng Bingmasi were dispatched together to ransack the house according to the order.

The targets of their ransacking were wealthy businessmen in the capital.

The criminal evidence of these rich businessmen is all in the bad people's yamen, so these yamen are very firm in their implementation, no matter how much these rich businessmen cry and grab the land, they will not be moved.

In addition to the hoarded grain, they also confiscated countless gold and silver from the grain merchant's home.

All of a sudden, there was chaos.

"Master Zhao is thanks to you this time."

"Yes, Mr. Zhao, we haven't been so prominent for a long time."

"It's thanks to Mr. Zhao that we villains can be so beautiful."

"Master Zhao is the only one who follows the lead!"

A group of bad people at the bottom expressed their loyalty to Zhao Xun.

This not only did not make Zhao Xun happy, but caused him worry.

Because when Feng Hao wrote to him, he also emphasized to tell him to be careful of the three veterans in the yamen.

Now Zhao Xun is really showing off, but this will make the three elders who are already extremely jealous even more jealous.

In fact, Zhao Xun can also understand their feelings.

After so many years of qualifications, I finally got to the current official position, which can be said to have a bright future.

But suddenly a young man was airborne and was going to be on top of their heads, and no one could accept it.

This cannot be alleviated by time, nor can it be avoided by persuasion.

When it comes to the relationship of interests and the core interests, it will never stop.

Either they killed Zhao Xun, or Zhao Xun stepped on them.

There is no other possibility.

Zhao Xun now just hopes to temporarily put aside the fight and devote all his energy to fighting against foreign enemies.

Wait until the external conflicts are resolved, and then free up your hands to clean up the portal.
