Chapter 401 Chapter 4: The case is related
"My lord, Wu Hongchang is asking people to check the whereabouts of you and Third Young Master Xu. It seems that you are responsible for the case of Bai Yan and his family!" He came forward and reported that standing opposite the two was Xu Minghan who had just arrived.

After Zhao Mu heard this, he just smiled coldly. Wu Hongchang really overestimated himself, but is it worth getting his hands dirty even for a small salt merchant?

Xu Minghan felt strange, and said, "The death of Bai Yan's family has nothing to do with us?"

Now that the Xu family and the Yaowang Mansion are cooperating in business, they don't pay much attention to the Beijing Chamber of Commerce, because they value the entire Jin Dynasty market, and the main camps that make money are not in the capital, and what they sell is similar to that of the Bai Yan family. Even the Wu family has nothing to do with it, and there won't be any major conflicts in business, let alone killing people.

Fu Wuqian replied: "Wu Hongchang has a small belly and a mean heart. He is afraid that he thinks that the Yaowang Mansion and the Xu family want to take away the seats of the three of them in the Beijing Chamber of Commerce, so when something happens to the Beijing Chamber of Commerce, the first thing he thinks of is you two. Bits are dealing with him."

"He is afraid that he is 'using his own heart to judge others'. He has done so many shameful bad things. Whenever something happens, he thinks that others are dealing with him. This person walks a lot at night and is afraid of ghosts!" Xu Minghan Said in a mocking tone.

"The Wu family has become more rampant in recent years. I heard that the Wu family has a wharf in Southeast County, and they have colluded with private salt dealers and local officials. The taxes paid every year are less than nine out of ten. It is becoming more and more rampant!" If the emperor hadn't been eager to stabilize and surpass the outline, he would never have allowed the Wu family to collect money like this. After all, the [-]% salt tax was a huge sum of money for the Jin Dynasty treasury.

It's not that the Wu family is so rich and powerful, but that there are too many people protecting the Wu family, and a tight line has been formed from top to bottom. Once it is pulled out, the Jin Dynasty is bound to be in chaos again.

Although Xu Minghan has only been in the mall for a short time, he also knows that the profit of salt is very large. Although the imperial court strictly ordered the sale of illegal salt, once caught, it is a serious crime to kill everyone, but there are still many people who take risks for huge profits. Collusion between officials and businessmen, officials and bandits, then the country and the people must suffer in the end.

He knew from Zhao Mu's tone of voice that the emperor might have been dissatisfied with the actions of the salt merchant Wu's family for a long time, but because of the current situation, he didn't start to deal with the Wu family. If the Wu family still doesn't restrain themselves in the future, That ending is definitely not so good.

"Since he wants to check me, I'll check him too. Maybe he's calling for a thief!" Zhao Mu brushed his fingers across the white gauze that was blindfolded. His father went to see the emperor, and the emperor asked him to stay temporarily Yiren Suge from the General's Mansion came to show him his eyes, but Yiren Suge told him that both he and his father's eye diseases were born with drugs that could not be cured at all.

He has long been used to this kind of rhetoric, born?I am afraid that outsiders will think it is a curse, and I have already tried praying to gods and worshiping Buddha, but the line of Yaowang's mansion still cannot give birth to normal and healthy children. He has made up his mind long ago that he will never marry a wife and have children in this life. The child also lives the same life as him, so he is not afraid that the world will know that Yaowangfu has been doing things for the emperor. He deliberately wants Yaowangfu to come into the eyes of the world again, and then it will be terminated in his generation .

A secret that everyone knows in the sun is no longer a secret, and there is no need to hide it, and there is no need to hide everything from others. Maybe the emperor should find another "money bag" to replace the Yaowang Mansion.

On this day, the fourth child, Xu Mingfan, went to find Lin Shuran after he came back from the Imperial College. Now he believes in Lin Shuran's suggestion more than Xu Junze.

"Mother, there is something I want to tell you, but I don't know if it's useful!" Xu Mingfan stood in front of Lin Shuran and said after thinking for a long time.

"What do you think?" Seeing Xu Mingfan's troubled face at the moment, Lin Shuran thought that something embarrassing happened when he returned to the Imperial College. Could it be that the Imperial College people are still blaming him for the fire in the Library Pavilion?

I saw Xu Mingfan organized his words, and then said: "Mother should still remember my classmate Yan Chuan'an in the Imperial College, he is the young master of Yan's family, a silk merchant in the Beijing Chamber of Commerce, and his father was killed in the case of Liuli poisoning last time." , His elder brother was also killed two days ago, and now he is the only male in the Yan family, today I went to see him at the Yan family, and he told me something related to his elder brother's case!"

"Oh? What did he say to you?" Lin Shuran knew Xu Mingfan, a classmate. The murder case of the Baiyan family in the past two days was well known in the capital, but there was no clue about the murderer.

Xu Mingfan replied: "Yan Chuan'an said that his elder brother and the young master Bai who died in the Bai family met before, and before his elder brother was killed, he mentioned the book "Ancient Landscape Records" to him, and said that they strictly The family will be saved soon, because since his father was killed suddenly, their clan uncles and brothers wanted to divide the Yan family's family business. It may be even more unsustainable.”

"Then did he tell the official who handles the case what he knows?" Lin Shuran was surprised, and it was related to "Ancient Landscape Records". It seems that more and more people know about the dragon veins of the gold mine. Dead birds die for food, and once everyone knows the treasure map, wouldn't the world be in chaos, and she always had the feeling that there was a push behind all of this.

Xu Mingfan shook his head. He told Lin Shuran that Yan Chuan'an's mother also knew about it and forbade him to tell anyone about it, but he wanted to find out the truth about his elder brother's death, so he thought of asking the General's Mansion for help through Xu Mingfan's mouth. Xu Mingfan came to ask Lin Shuran's opinion first, and then decided whether to tell Xu Junze about it.

"Do you know what kind of book "Ancient Landscape Records" is?" Lin Shuran looked at Xu Mingfan and asked.

Xu Mingfan shook his head, indicating that he didn't know, and Yan Chuan'an didn't seem to know either, but Yan Chuan'an's mother probably knew.He asked Lin Shuran again: "Mom, what is this book?"

"It is rumored that there is a map of the dragon veins of the gold mine hidden in this book. Whoever can get this book will be able to own the treasures of the world's gold mines!" Now the secret of this book is probably no longer a secret, and Lin Shuran did not hide it. So he told Xu Mingfan.

Xu Mingfan opened his eyes wide and asked in surprise, "Is it true?"

No wonder Yan Chuan'an's eldest brother said that their Yan family would be saved with this book. It turns out that there is a treasure map in this book. It seems that the death of Yan Chuan'an's elder brother should also be related to this treasure map.
