Rebirth of the noble daughter

Just when Liang Quanbin was happy that he was about to go to Jinling, Feng Jinxu and his party had been making unannounced visits in Jinling City for several days.

The abilities of Xu Lin and his subordinates were really extraordinary, and they found out the situation in Jinling City from the inside out within a few days.

When a sea of ​​information appeared on Feng Jinxu's desk, he read and memorized one by one, and Fu Yi next to him would burn the information he had handed over one by one.

Soon, the big and small matters in Jinling City, the past and the future, unfolded in Feng Jinxu's heart like a scroll.

Jinling City used to be the capital of a certain dynasty thousands of years ago. Unfortunately, after years of wars and natural disasters, it gradually became lonely.

Then the capital was moved north to the current land boundary. On the contrary, after the Jinling City lost the restraint of imperial power, after hundreds of years of accumulation by merchants and gentry, it became a rich city, and even the surrounding states and counties followed suit. few.

But also because of this, Jinling City is nominally a city of the Jin Dynasty, but in fact it is controlled by local merchants and gentry. The reason why the Water Transportation Department set up a three thousand navy battalion is to compete with the four major families.

Chi Min, Cao Zhu, the real person in power in Jinling City, even the director of water transportation, had to bow and bow respectfully in front of them.

What a shame it is for a dignified official of the second rank to bow his head to the last class businessman of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce.

Unfortunately, no one dared to question or resist.

The most important reason is that Chi Min and Cao Zhu not only have a sky-high business, but also a large piece of land, and the right to raise armored soldiers.

Money, food and soldiers are all in your hands, so why worry about others coming to commit crimes?
Among them, the power of the Chi family is the most deeply rooted.

The Chi family has been dominant in Jinling City since 500 years ago. Unfortunately, because the ancestors had no officialdom, most of them were engaged in business, farming and studying. The ups and downs in the troubled times and the dynasty almost broke the roots after several ups and downs.

Until Chi Chengxu, the head of the No.20 generation, came out to turn the tide and end the suffering of homelessness.

Not only did they drag the Chi family out of the quagmire with all their strength, but they also took advantage of the opportunity to go out to the sea to break through the sky and have close ties with many island countries in the sea.

Now the Chi family has a secret navigation route unknown to outsiders, which can bring countless accumulated wealth to the Chi family every year.

As for where the soldiers of the Chi family were raised, no one knew.

I only remember that the emperor sent troops to encircle and suppress the danger of Chi's house, but I didn't expect that the emperor's [-] soldiers disappeared without a trace, and they even died suddenly in the palace with him.

Therefore, although every high-ranking emperor was afraid of the Chi family, he did not dare to eradicate it rashly, but treated it with a lenient policy.

The Chi family is also very sensible, filling a quarter of the treasury every year.

Such gold bags, the emperor was naturally happy to keep them.

Therefore, for more than a hundred years, the Chi family has firmly secured the top spot as the overlord of Jinling City.

Even if the Cao family has a figure like the governor of water transport, they can't compete too much with him. One can imagine the power of the Chi family.

Now it has been passed down to this generation of patriarchs, it is already the No.20 fourth generation, named Chi Zimo.

The power of the Chi family in his hands spread far and wide.

There is a saying in Jinling City, "Change the sky and land, but not the pond."

One can imagine the Chi family's status in Jinling.

Feng Jinxu was born and grew up in the Eastern Capital, and he has never had such a deep understanding of Jinling City, which is thousands of miles away, but when he learned about the Chi family, his serious face never relaxed.

"The power of the Chi family may not be able to resist the combination of the three families of Min, Cao and Zhu. We want to investigate the Chi family, but we may not be able to."

There are only seven or eight people in Feng Jinxu's group, and they are not even an ant in front of the Chi family. How can they shake this giant tree.

Xu Lin frowned, "What does the uncle mean?"

"Let's start with the Zhu family and the Cao family! The Cao family has just lost the important support of the director of water transport, and now it is seriously injured. As for the Zhu family, didn't it say that they will marry the Chi family in May? Now it is a proud moment Sometimes, both of them go up and down every day, and they are the most likely to show their feet, and checking them is much faster than checking Chi's family!"

"Yes!"

Looking at the word Min's family on the paper, Xu Lin saw him like this, worried that he would investigate the Min's family, and heard Feng Jinxu say before he had time to explain.

"The Min family has a noble concubine, who is also Prince Ding's mother's family. This matter has nothing to do with them, so they don't need to bother to investigate."

"Yes."

A pair of ink-like eyes stared at Xu Lin quietly, and even a hard-faced person like Xu Lin felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by him.

"uncle?"

"Nothing. You go and check first."

"Yes."

After Xu Lin left the house, Feng Jinxu handed the paper that recorded the contents of the Min family to Fu Yi, "Burn it."

"Yes."

The trace of the paper disappeared when it touched the fire, but Feng Jinxu had a bold guess in his heart.

In the army, the Min family, the corruption case, perhaps the person behind Xu Lin was the one he had neglected in his daily life.

If it was really him, why was he involved with his grandfather again?
After the mystery is cleared, it is another mystery.

A few days later, in Prince Ding's mansion thousands of miles away, Yang Zhao passed the news from Xu Lin to Xiao Tingyi.

Ten lines at a glance, with appreciation in his eyes.

"The lord is indeed right. This Feng Jinxu's mind is really delicate, and his brain turns quickly even when he sees the little things."

Yang Zhao was noncommittal on the sidelines. Ever since the lord came out of the siege of Miss Feng San at the gate of King Kang's mansion, he felt that the lord seemed to be different from before. He couldn't tell what it was. .

"What does the prince mean by this?"

"They've been monitoring the Zhu family for so long and haven't found any evidence, but Feng Jinxu has only been here for a few days, and he dug out most of them along with the relatives of the Zhu family. After all, he came from Dali Temple. Finding evidence is such a thing , It’s really a quick battle.”

Yang Zhao was a little surprised when he heard this!
Zhu family, that bone is not so difficult to chew!

Otherwise, the brothers in Jinling City would not be able to eat so much and be turned away. I didn't expect the Feng family to find out the clues so quickly, which made Yang Zhao curious.

"My lord, where did the eldest brother of the Feng family get his hands on it?"

Xiao Tingyi glanced at him, and handed over the letter in his hand, Yang Zhao looked more and more in admiration.

The status of the Zhu family in Jinling City was not as high as that of the Chi and Min families, but comparable to that of the Cao family, so they had been fighting fiercely for many years.

A few years ago, the Cao family came out with a director of water transport, who took advantage of his power and suddenly suppressed the Zhu family. Some members of the Zhu family were also in the officialdom, but unfortunately they were almost suppressed by the Cao family.

It can only be a small official in the water transportation department to make some money.
