So I play chess

Chapter 233 The Borrower
It is not easy to elaborate on the matter here. Although the few of them must stay on the spot and wait for support, they have nothing else to do except for further investigation and analysis of the relevant situation. After all, everyone knows and thinks differently, so it’s fine to explain in detail, and even lead to more irrelevant gossip, which is really meaningless and not the right time.

So Hua Ji gave a basic conclusion, and Tang Mingyi didn't think it was wrong, so he passed it like this.

At this point in the conversation, Wen Liang re-spoken the rest of the words himself.

The Hengzhou paper, Yanghao brush, and even twill ink that Li Hengzhou would leave behind every time at the scene were not things on the stage at first, but because of his growing fame, these things gradually became fashionable. .

The relevant merchants made a lot of money, and some of them didn't want Li Hengzhou to fall into the hands of the inspection department, but no matter whether they thought so, the means of the Beiyu inspection department were indeed as Tang Mingyi said, and they did not want Li Hengzhou to fall into the hands of the inspection department. It cannot be easily prevaricated and dealt with.

So no matter what these goods merchants think in their hearts, they will eventually say what they can say.

But this time, there was trouble again.

I don't know if it was Li Hengzhou's secret promotion. Once the inspection department asks something from the merchants, the news will soon spread to the rivers and lakes and the market, and some unknown people will take advantage of the night to give these goods The merchant's house and shop use some means.

For example, remove a few tiles in the warehouse, and wait for the rainy day to drench all the paper in this room.Another example is to put some old bugs and the like, to eat up the nibs and barrels of the pens.There are so many things like this, and in short, those merchants are disturbed, and on the contrary, they are even more resistant to the inspection department's inquiry.

Tang Mingyi couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this. He actually didn't know the details of the difficulties faced by the people who were doing specific things at the bottom. Now it sounds like these things are not big, but they are enough to form obstacles.

Hua Ji also said: "If you want me to say, I'm afraid this kind of behavior can't be done by people in the Jianghu. It's too stingy, and it's more like the work of some good people in the market."

"How can people in Jianghu not be stingy?" Wen Liang rarely reprimanded him, "It doesn't matter if it's a deliberate disguise or not, if you can easily judge the perpetrator by the way you do it, how can there be so many problems in this world?"

Hua Ji knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he even claimed it was true, and said again, "I'm thinking too little", and then he didn't dare to say more about it.

"Then why didn't the Beiyu court limit the sales of these things? It narrowed the scope, and if Li Hengzhou didn't change his habits, it would always be easier to check than this situation."

"This is another wonderful point." Wen Liang replied, "Although Beiyu Chaotang's promotion of these objects, especially Hengzhou paper, has gradually faded in recent years, the idea is still there after all, because Li Hengzhou, Hengzhou paper, twill ink, and even Yanghao pens, regardless of whether they are made in Hengzhou, have been in short supply for a period of time."

"This..." Tang Mingyi originally wanted to say "ridiculous", but he felt that it was actually very reasonable, so he could only be speechless in the end.

Wen Liang continued: "Bei Yu later had a saying, I don't know if it is accurate, but it should not be too different, saying that in the year after Li Hengzhou appeared, these things were sold more than in the previous few years. more in total."

Tang Mingyi finally understood: "So Beiyu Chaotang doesn't want to restrict? And can't restrict?"

Although these pens and inks were not essential goods, and the money they earned did not become the largest income of the Beiyu court, it was definitely an amount that could not be ignored.Although Beiyu has used many methods to enrich the warehouse and abundant government treasury over the years, it is still inferior to that of Southern Chu.

All of a sudden, there was such a source of money for such a large amount. It happened that after the western expedition to the Wei Kingdom, the Southern Expedition to the Chu Kingdom was planned, and there were places where silver was used everywhere.

All matters have been explained, and Wen Liang's words have been exhausted, Tang Mingyi didn't ask any more questions, and came up with a conclusion he agreed with, so he just nodded at this moment.

Hua Ji endured by the side for a long time, seeing that the two had stopped talking, so he wanted to add an unimportant piece of information.

"There is another theory, I will also talk to Mr. Tang."

Although Hua Ji wanted to talk to Tang Mingyi in his words, but his eyes were on Wen Liang. The three of them knew why, so they didn't make a fuss. Just keep talking.

Probably, although the courts of Northern Yu and Southern Chu all knew or recognized that Li Hengzhou and Nan Yijian Cheng Wangshu are not the same person, but there are always some sayings in the Jianghu, and they still insist on it in the face of all kinds of signs. These two are one person.

Because of the things Li Hengzhou left behind, no one could figure out the meaning of them, and after such a long time, no further things related to them came out.

The only function is to directly and indirectly influence the thinking of all parties, thereby hindering the investigation of Li Hengzhou's true identity and whereabouts by the Beiyu Inspection Department.

It was such a trivial matter, but from the market to the court, from the common people to the emperor of Beiyu, all of them took actions more or less because of this incident.

This is not called taking advantage of the situation, so what is called taking advantage of the situation?

It's a pity that people who uphold this point of view have no chance to see Cheng Wangshu, otherwise they wouldn't have come up with such a statement.

After Hua Ji finished speaking, he finally couldn't hold back, and came to his own conclusion: "It's hard to say what Li Hengzhou's thoughts are, they think this way, their identity may be wrong, but their purpose may be right. It looks like an unexpected harvest, maybe this Li Hengzhou designed it like this from the beginning."

Hua Ji still looked at Wen Liang while speaking, but Yu Hou was noncommittal. These analyzes were originally what people like Li Mao Hua Ji were going to do. He was not good at it, so he had nothing to say.

On the contrary, Tang Mingyi directly agreed with this statement: "What Mr. Hua said is the same as what I thought. Since he dared to commit murder in front of the three of us today, I am afraid that his identity will not be hidden for too long. Then we will ask him face to face. So that people in the world will know whether my guess is right or not."

"Exactly." Hua Ji listened to Tang Mingyi's words to flatter him, so he took advantage of the situation and made a very helpful gesture, "Now, apart from some things we knew before and some we have heard, we have one more Empirical evidence. It is more certain to solve this puzzle.”

Tang Mingyi also nodded. Now, there are indeed two things about Li Hengzhou, which he knows but Hua Jiwenliang doesn't.
