Xiaosheng is not a nerd

Chapter 785 Accident
Ye Jieyi told Xie Fu who had just arrived about the current situation, and the results of Jinling Granary and Hangzhou Granary have come out.

Because there was an accident in the fleet of the Li family in Boling, the Jinling granary only had 20 shi.

The Hangzhou granary is roughly the same as what they investigated, which is 30 shi.

Xie Fu asked, "What about us?"

Ye Jieyi originally thought that Xie Fu had only come here now, and he should have made some efforts, but he didn't even know his own details, so he said angrily: "Yesterday we were 27 shi, this morning the Gu family, the Lu family, and the Zhang family three The family brought grain back to the granary, a total of 28 shi, and now it is [-] shi, which is [-] shi less than the Hangzhou granary."

Xie Fu said in surprise, "Then it's a lost game."

Ye Jieyi secretly pinched Xie Fu's thigh angrily: "You ask me, who should I ask!"

Xie Fu smiled and asked: "Sister Yuyi, I don't think you are worried at all, do you have any tricks?"

Ye Jieyi snorted, turned his face away, but said calmly: "Yes, kill Zhu Shide."

Xie Fu smiled and said, "Good idea."

Ye Jieyi was surprised when he heard the words, and said with a serious expression: "I'm joking, don't take it seriously."

Xie Fu chuckled, he was not the kind of person who would get rid of him if he couldn't fight, but if he was asked to investigate and find out that the assassin who assassinated Gu Xianting that day was sent by Zhu Shide, then I'm sorry.

Looking towards Huo Duan, Huo Duan, who was talking with someone, noticed Xie Fu's gaze, immediately looked at Xie Fu, and nodded.

Ye Jieyi lowered her voice and said, "The reason why I am not worried at all is because it doesn't matter if I lose this bidding."

Xie Fu asked, "Why?"

Ye Jieyi smiled mysteriously: "My father has already recognized us, so are you afraid that we won't be able to share in the future?"

Xie Fu could understand the meaning of Ye Jieyi's words. He didn't want to do business to make a lot of money, but the position of Jiangnan Dongdao Grain General Merchant was too important for him to secure Huainan Road Jiedushi, especially after Lu Tao told Jiangnan After the intertwined power relations in the host country.

Xie Fu smiled lightly: "Let's talk about it."

Ye Jieyi originally expected to be praised by Xie Fu, but was disappointed to see Xie Fu's flat reaction.

Seeing that Xie Fu and Ye Jieyi were whispering all the time, Zhu Shide felt uneasy all the time.

At this moment, Liu Wanli went back and forth, walked quickly to Ye Meixun's side, whispered something, Ye Meixun was surprised when he heard this.

Ye Meixun's expression made everyone very curious, what happened?

Uneasy Zhu Shide asked directly: "Master Ye, can the detailed number of the Suzhou granary be calculated?"

Ye Mei asked with a smile: "Sorry, it may take a little longer, please wait patiently."

Zhu Shide said in displeasure, "Why? It's not likely that Mr. Ye is deliberately partial."

When Ye Meixun heard this, his face immediately turned ugly. He has always been fair and just in dealing with people, and he never cheated for personal gain. Even when her daughter came to ask him to let him go, Ye Meixun didn't give him any face.

Seeing Ye Meixun's expression, Zhu Shide immediately knew that he had said something wrong. After dealing with Ye Meixun for so long, Ye Meixun, who promises so much, is still worthy of trust.

He quickly put on a soft tone and said, "Master Ye, that's not what I meant. What happened?"

Ye Mei inquired: "Suzhou Granary is a bit troublesome to count, forget it, I told everyone, everyone will have doubts, why not go to Suzhou Granary with me to have a look."

Having a hard time counting?

Xie Fu looked at Ye Jieyi suspiciously, Ye Jieyi also looked at Xie Fu suspiciously, and the two looked at each other.

Zhu Shide stood up: "Okay!" He wished he could reach the destination immediately.

Suzhou Granary is located in Shangshantang, which is close to the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and connected to the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal. It has always been an intermediate stop for merchant ships traveling from south to north.

At the same time, it is also a transfer station from waterway transportation to road transportation.

A group of people moved up the mountain pond either on foot or in a carriage.

After leaving the guild hall, Xie Fu was about to get into the carriage with Ye Jieyi, when Huo Duan walked over and said with a smile: "Young Master Xie, get into my carriage."

Xie Fu knew that Huo Duan had something to talk to him, nodded his head, gently helped Ye Jieyi into the car, and said with a smile: "Sister Jieyi, we will see you later."

Ye Jieyi knew that the two of them had something serious to discuss, so she nodded and put down the car curtain.

A lot of food from the south of the Yangtze River found that Huo Duan and Xie Fu were walking very close, someone said in a low voice: "Master Zhu, Huo Duan and this person seem to be very close."

Zhu Shide snorted coldly: "Huo Duan cannibalizes people but doesn't spit out his bones, so getting too close to him is not a good thing."

Of course, Huo Duan is a businessman of the level of Ye Meixun. The Hangzhou Zhu family and the grain merchants of Jiangnan Dongdao are not enough. They are only in the territory of Jiangnan Dongdao, and the grain industry is qualified to compete with Huo Duan. .

"That's right, dealing with Huo Duan will only be a disadvantage, not even the slightest advantage."

Immediately, Xie Fu asked: "Mr. Huo, is the matter I asked you to help investigate clear?"

As the saying goes, snakes have snakes, rats have rats, and since Huo Duan was able to learn that he was appointed as the Jiedu envoy of Huainan Road one step faster than himself, he must have his own advantages in being well-informed.

Huo Duan said with a smile: "The investigation is clear. According to Mr. Xie's description of the killer's appearance and hints, it should be the tenth-ranked Black Eagle in the killer list."

As he spoke, he took out the arrowhead that Xie Fu gave him, and continued: "This arrowhead was forged by the Su family in Jiancheng, but after that, the Su family in Jiancheng no longer forged this kind of arrowhead."

Xie Fu had seen earlier that this arrowhead was different from ordinary arrowheads, with star-shaped spikes on the top, very sharp cones, and it must have a source, so he handed it over to Huo Duan to investigate.

The forging of arrows involves some technologies such as range, balance, and accuracy, so it is not as sharp as you want to forge.

Xie Fu thought to himself, isn't the Su family in Jiancheng the natal family of sister Qianqian, could it be related to the Su family in Jiancheng, and asked, "Is it related to the Su family in Jiancheng?"

Huo Duan smiled: "This is just an armor-piercing arrowhead forged in Suzhou, the city of Jiancheng. I didn't say that it was ordered by the Su family in Jiancheng."

Xie Fu was curious: "Since the armor-piercing arrowhead, why not forge it?"

Huo Duan chuckled: "The armor forged by the Su family in Jiancheng is invulnerable to swords and arrows, but this armor-piercing arrowhead can pierce through the armor forged by ourselves. The Su family of Jiancheng does not want to do such contradictory things. So stop forging such arrowheads."

Xie Fu said loudly: "There is some truth to it."

Huo Duan continued: "Although the Su family in Jiancheng no longer forges this type of arrowhead, there are still some remnants scattered around. The killer Black Eagle uses this type of arrowhead. This is the first, and the second..."

Huo Duan paused, took out a porcelain bottle, poured some silver liquid on the arrowhead cone, and the cone immediately changed color.

"Secondly, the arrowheads of the Killer Black Eagle are all coated with highly poisonous poison. Once the poison is broken and stained with blood, even martial arts masters can't stand it."

Xie Fu said: "Mr. Huo judged the identity of the killer from these two points?"

Huo Duan said with a smile: "I'm a businessman, and this is not my specialty. I just told Mr. Xie the result of the investigation."

Xie Fu said: "The killer is dead, what I want to know is who is behind the scenes."

Huo Duan said: "Ten years ago when Jiangnan Dongdao Grain General Merchant was bidding, Zhu Shide's biggest competitor was suddenly assassinated. This is the case file that was investigated by the government at that time."

Xie Fu took over the torn case record, which recorded the shape of the wound of the deceased, which was exactly the same as this type of arrowhead.

Huo Duan continued: "Seven years ago... five years ago... two years ago..."

The evidence Huo Duan mentioned all points to the same person—the Zhu family in Hangzhou.

Xie Fu said: "So, Zhu Shide is the one behind the scenes?"

Huo Duan looked very cunning, "I didn't say that, Mr. Xie can judge for himself."

Xie Fu smiled and said, "Mr. Huo, thank you very much."

Huo Duan sighed: "Oh, I didn't help Mr. Xie much, I can only investigate the murderer."

It's not far from the destination, and it will arrive soon. As soon as Xie Fu got off the carriage, he heard Ye Jieyi say, "Fu, come and see."

Under the leadership of Ye Jieyi, Xie Fu moved in front of the Hangzhou granary, and saw that the empty space was actually crowded with people, and it was extremely noisy and noisy.

But the number of people Ye Meixun arranged to count the numbers simply couldn't cope.

Generally speaking, grain merchants have their own measurement methods, which are packed in bags as one stone, and when there are larger quantities, they are surrounded by zizi woven from sorghum stalks.

According to the size of the circumference, ten stones, hundreds of stones, or even hundreds of stones are directly calculated. This method is fast and efficient.

And the number of people in this meeting is scattered and mixed, and the food and grain they bring vary. There are ten buckets, eight buckets, and even three buckets and two buckets come to join in the fun.

It is not easy to get so many people in order, let alone calculate the amount of food.

Maybe it's because they have never encountered such a chaotic scene before, and the people Ye Meixun arranged even used the method of counting grain stores.

This is why the detailed number of granaries in Suzhou has not been released for a long time.

Xie Fu asked, "What's going on with Sister Yuyi?"

Ye Jieyi was also at a loss: "I don't know, it seems that they are all food deliveries."

Seeing that these people were dressed as ordinary people, Xie Fu wondered why so many people came here.

I saw an old lady who had just arrived, with a small grain bag on her back, her feet were covered with mud and dust, her face was dusty, obviously she had come from a long way.

So I went to ask about it first, but before I opened my mouth, the aunt asked first: "Master, is this the granary in Suzhou?"

Xie Fu nodded.

The aunt said excitedly: "It's finally here, I don't dare to rest, I drove all night."

Driving all night?Xie Fu asked blankly, "Where are you from, aunt?"

"Wuxi County."

Wuxi County!A place where Xie Fu stayed for a short time, but he was connected with the local people life and death, and regarded it as his hometown.

The aunt took the rice bag from her back, opened it, and said, "I brought six buckets of grain."

Six buckets of grain weighed almost forty catties, and Wuxi was about a hundred miles away from Suzhou. This aunt actually carried forty catties of grain and drove a hundred miles overnight.

This really surprised and shocked Xie Fu, looking at the radiant eyes of the aunt, watching her free her hands to wipe the thick dust from the corners of her eyes.

Xie Fu felt extremely distressed, and couldn't help pouting close to the corner of the aunt's eyebrows and blowing lightly. He used to be the parent officer of Wuxi County, and the people of Wuxi County were his children, but this act was to cherish himself from the bottom of his heart. children.

But the aunt let out a groan, flinched back sensitively, and glared at Xie Fu angrily: "Master, what do you want to do!"

　Sorry, been in a rush.
