My Ancient Stepson Bootcamp

Chapter 217
She did not impatiently ask Pei Shao where the golden balls were hidden, but looked at him calmly, as if she was considering whether what he said was true or false, which Xu Junze and Xiao Chen had never found out. Young Master Pei seemed to know about this, which made her even more curious about Young Master Pei's real identity.

"Madam Xu doesn't want to know?" Pei Shao laughed jokingly. Lin Shuran's shock was only for a moment, and then she acted very calm and rational, which also made Pei Shao feel admirable. It is not likely that many women in the back house can have such concentration .

"Of course I want to know. Is there anyone in this world who doesn't want to know? I'm just curious. I heard that the Ren family has a lot of golden balls. This is a lot of money. Why did Young Master Pei choose to tell outsiders instead of taking it himself?" How to use it?" Lin Shuran sat down again with a relaxed tone and smiled at Pei Shao and joked, of course, there was a sincere temptation hidden in these words.

Shao Pei showed a look of disdain, and said: "There are two kinds of people in the world who are greedy for money. One is their nature, and the other is that they don't have or lack it. So seeing gold and silver is like a hungry ghost seeing delicious food. Possession, but I am different, I have never been good at yellow and white things, of course the most important thing is that I have, and there are quite a few, I just don’t like doing business at a loss, and I don’t like being tricked and not fighting back.”

What Pei Shao said was not trivial. Lin Shuran thought about how much gold and silver he had to say such confident words. When Liang Shunzhong, the second housekeeper of Lingwang's mansion, was caught before, he could get the golden balls of the Ren family out of his mouth. There were two large boxes, but they were not the ones that contained a hundred and ten catties that were common in the Jin Dynasty, but two oversized wooden boxes that could hold a full 10 taels of gold.

10 taels of gold is by no means a small amount, and it is enough to make people greedy when they see it, otherwise Liang Shunzhong, a servant, would not steal from the master and risk his life to profit from it.

Judging from the meaning in Pei Shao's words, it seems that he wanted to tell Lin Shuran the secret because Prince Ling plotted against him, and he was unwilling to do so.

"Since Mr. Pei doesn't like these golden balls, I'm really interested. Where are they hidden by King Ling?" Lin Shuran expressed his thoughts frankly. smiled.

"Yaoguang Pavilion!" Pei Shao said these three words to Lin Shuran, and then said meaningfully, "As long as Mrs. Xu finds the real owner of Yaoguang Pavilion, she can find out the whereabouts of those golden balls!"

Yaoguang Pavilion?The largest gold, silver and jade store in the capital, but its owner has always been mysterious, Lin Shuran is dubious, whether the missing golden balls of the Ren family are related to the owner behind the Yaoguang Pavilion, she has to investigate to be sure.

After saying goodbye to Lin Shuran, Shao Pei left the capital, and after Lin Shuran came back from the farm south of the city, when he saw Xu Junze again, he told Xu Junze what Pei Shao had said.

After Xu Junze thought about it, he wanted someone to find Pei Shao again to ask him clearly, who would have thought that after Pei Shao left the capital, he would never be found again, this person seemed to disappear overnight.

Next, both Xu Junze and Lin Shuran took the matter of the boss behind Yaoguang Pavilion to heart, and secretly sent their own people to investigate, but the shopkeeper of Yaoguang Pavilion was very strict and could not find out who his boss was. who.

Xiao Chen is also investigating the matter of Yaoguang Pavilion. Since meeting with Xu Junze in Dengchuan Tower that day, the two of them have reached a kind of tacit agreement, and they have begun to cooperate in the investigation of the case, so Xiao Chen is responsible for the investigation on the surface. Xu Junze will secretly help him with everything related to the case, hoping to find out the truth of all the cases quickly.

Xu Junze also wanted to take this opportunity to test Xu Minghan, so he revealed to him that the Ren family's golden ball might be related to Yaoguang Pavilion. Unexpectedly, only a few days later, Xu Minghan accidentally found out who the owner of Yaoguang Pavilion was .

"Who is it?" Lin Shuran was also very curious, so many things that adults can't find out with so much effort, she didn't expect Xu Minghan, a 12-year-old boy, to find out. She really found it incredible, and for the first time began to see the strength of her stepson , maybe Xu Junze is right, this child is more powerful than she imagined.

Xu Minghan originally came here specially to tell Xu Junze that the father and son met in the study, but Xu Junze invited Lin Shuran here as well, as if he didn't want to keep this matter from her.

Xu Minghan privately didn't want Lin Shuran to be involved in these matters. She was already worried about the big and small things in the house. She was worried and worried, even though he knew that his mother was very strong in both heart and ability, but men's affairs should be handled by men, and it's better for women not to participate.

However, Xu Junze is his father, since he decided to tell Lin Shuran about this matter, presumably there are his considerations, so he will not say anything more.

Therefore, Xu Minghan said to the two of them: "The original owner of Yaoguang Pavilion was the old owner of the Ma family in southern Xinjiang. Later, Yaoguang Pavilion became more and more famous in the capital. It didn't take long for the owner to change and became Ling Ling. Wang, I don’t know if the Ma family gave Yaoguang Pavilion to Ling Wang, or Ling Wang used some means to rob Yaoguang Pavilion, the owner behind Yaoguang Pavilion for so many years is Ling Wang.”

Xu Junze fell silent after hearing this. In fact, he had guessed this result a long time ago, but Lin Shuran's face showed doubts. She thought for a while and said aloud: "I feel that something is wrong. Mr. Pei said that he found Yaoguang The real owner of the pavilion can find out the whereabouts of those golden balls, but the real owner of Yaoguang Pavilion is Ling Wang, and Ling Wang was killed, so those golden balls still cannot be found, could it be that the golden balls have become Have you bought all kinds of gold artifacts in Yaoguang Pavilion?"

What Lin Shuran said was not unreasonable. Xu Junze and Xu Minghan and his son looked at each other. It seems that the matter of Yaoguang Pavilion still needs to be investigated. King Ling is already dead, but Yaoguang Pavilion is still welcoming guests normally. Affected, does this mean that the real owner of Yaoguang Pavilion has already changed from King Ling to someone else?
However, before they could continue to investigate the matter, news suddenly came from the Ministry of Criminal Justice, saying that there was key evidence about the inexplicably lost huge silver when the Ren family was confiscated, showing that they were all corrupted by Ling Wang, the imperial envoy at the time. However, Ling Wang was afraid that he would be involved in the incident, so he pushed everything to the old censor Fang E. As for the person who assassinated him, the Ministry of Criminal Justice also found out that it was a group of gangsters who were in charge of helping Ling Wang Yunyin. People, it should be because of the uneven distribution of spoils that King Ling was killed.

Within two days, Fang's family was also escorted by the Dragon Armor Guards back to Yushi's Mansion. Many people and officials also appeared outside Fang's house, but the old Fang's Yushi Fang E asked people to close the gate. Close, no visitors!
