Forced to be a villain, my righteousness comes first

Chapter 77 New Questions
Li Xing yawned, and his lazy posture washed away the turbulent momentum just now.

To be honest, he really hasn't woken up yet...

"This matter, let me do it!"

Gong Yi nodded, and accepted this task. It is indeed not Shangzong's style to be timid, and it would be much easier for him to come forward in person.

"Now that we know the situation, we know that this route probably starts from several cities in the southeast and east, passes through the main road all the way to Huan'an City, and then replaces it with the Liu family's unique channel to transport the goods to the territory of foreign races."

"Then they shipped the goods on the territory of the foreign race, exchanged them for some valuable items, and returned to Huan'an City."

When Gong Yi said this, his words paused, and Commander Luo added knowledgeably: "Transport tea, cotton cloth, and ironware from here, and the Boa tribe in the east will exchange them for precious medicinal materials and high-quality refined salt, and then transport them to the northwest. The same Rong people were exchanged for foreign slaves, and they were transported back to the hinterland for dumping..."

What kind of triangular trade is this?
Li Xing couldn't help but click his tongue. Although Huan'an City and even the Xia Clan did not expressly prohibit this kind of trade with other races, but after leaving Huan'an City, they entered a zone where no one cares. This is definitely a matter of wandering between black and white, and the profits must be huge!

"From the information we have inquired, it is true that the Liu family sent people out of the channel, and the Zhang family paid for the source of the goods. It is rumored that the two parties will share in a [-]-[-] ratio. The force will be stronger, because the middlemen in the two alien territories are said to be related to the Zhang family..."

In this way, it still makes sense, Li Xing nodded clearly, and had a more accurate understanding of how much the Zhang family attached importance to this route.

"Is there anything else?"

Li Xing felt that these two guys had worked so hard for so many days, and Gong Yi went out early and returned late every day. Maybe it was more than just investigating this information?

"This..." Commander Luo seemed a little lacking in confidence, but he still spoke.

"We did send a lot of money in private, and wanted to buy the servants of the two families, but the effect was not obvious. It was as if the servants had been sealed by the two families, and they didn't dare to say anything..."

"However, an old servant from the Zhang family made a point. Zhang San seems to have a house in the outer courtyard!"

"A house?"

Zhang San is a servant, how many years will he have to work as a handyman before he can scrape together enough money to buy a house in Huan'an City?
50 years?Or 100 years?
Even the smallest and most remote house!
This is obviously another new breakthrough.

"Have you checked?"

Li Xing didn't want to let go of these details.

"I checked, it's an ordinary courtyard, on Beijiu Street, it's already close to the outermost edge of Huan'an City."

"How much does this courtyard cost?"

"The market price should be between 300 taels and 500 taels." Commander Luo is very familiar with these methods, and he answered without hesitation, obviously quite sure about the house's valuation.

Three hundred to five hundred taels?Is it really the sponsorship of Miss Liu's family?

Li Xing was thinking with his chin clenched. It sounded like the story was developing in the most obvious direction!

"Junior brother, are these things... useful? After reading it, do you have any new ideas?"

Seeing Gong Yi's curious, bewildered and eager eyes, Li Xing sighed, and then said slowly.

"Actually, my biggest curiosity now is why the two companies didn't withdraw the case?"

"Knowing that this matter continues to rage, no matter whether we can find out any problems, it will not be of any benefit to the two families. Why do they still insist on making extra troubles?"

"What do you think is the reason?"

Li Xing threw out the question again. For things he couldn't figure out, brainstorming is obviously the right way.

Gong Yi thought very positively, and said after a while: "I think I can understand the reasons of the Liu family. They always felt that their granddaughter's death was too wronged, and my family was killed before they could see Miss Liu Liu for the last time." If the Zhang family is buried hastily, there will naturally be resentment in their hearts."

"So they insisted on killing him, and they must give a reasonable explanation from the Zhang family."

"The reason for not withdrawing the case is that we can put pressure on the Zhang family from another aspect!"

"What about the Zhang family? If it's really what Young Master Zhang described, then the Zhang family is completely at a disadvantage. Why did they make this matter public instead of quietly handling it?"

"If the Zhang family's actions are truly ashamed, after all, they also lost a second son!"

"Under such circumstances, I believe they can pay a small price to satisfy the Liu family's appetite. Why bother with such a matter? If we really find out something, wouldn't they be bloody? "

Li Xing's question made Gong Yi fall into contemplation, and Commander Luo obviously gave up thinking a long time ago, just waiting for the two young masters to give him a direction to do things.

While Gong Yi was thinking, his eyes wandered in Li Xing's room. A brand new bed appeared right opposite Li Xing's bed.

The strange thing is that the bed was empty, not even a bedding.

Eyes continued to scan, and at the corner at the end of the bed, Gong Yi saw where the quilt was. It was bulging, as if it was wrapped in something.

A pair of blood-red eyes seemed to feel his gaze, and they lit up from the bed, peeping quietly, with a vigilant and scrutinizing gaze...

It's like the wild wolf that Gong Yi met alone in the wilderness when he was a child, that wolf also stared at him with such eyes.

"Junior brother, this little guy you adopted seems a bit wild and unruly!"

Gong Yi couldn't help but persuade him with kind words.

"You mean Haitang?" Li Xing's eyes followed Gong Yi's and naturally saw those eyes.

"She's a quick learner. I'm going to let her at least understand the basic Xia language before taking her out! Don't worry, she's just a little girl!"

Hearing this, Gong Yi also nodded his head, indeed, she is just a girl of a different race, what kind of waves can it cause?

"Then according to what you mean, Junior Brother?"

"Continue to check, no matter if you can't find it out, as long as you continue to check, there will always be a fox's tail exposed!"

Li Xing yawned again. In the last few nights, he had been teaching Haitang foreign languages ​​for a little longer, and he really felt that he was not getting enough sleep.

"Then, we should at least have a direction..."

Gong Yi scratched his head, wanting to express his attitude and opinions, but couldn't find the point, and couldn't understand Li Xing's thoughts, so he had to murmur for advice.

"Brother, didn't I just say that?"

Li Xing turned his head and looked at Senior Gong with strange eyes. He didn't follow his train of thought at all!
"Check the sources of funds for Miss Liu Liu and Zhang San, and check the cooperation between the Zhang family and the Liu family!"

"Isn't this a lot of things?"

Gong Yi raised his head, just about to speak.

"Understood, I will organize my brothers to go immediately!"

Commander Luo understood it very well, he didn't procrastinate at all, and immediately patted his chest and accepted the task.

"come on!"

Li Xing raised his hand and clenched his fists to encourage the two, and waved his hand to bid farewell to the two guys who disturbed the dream.

"Ah, take it to the door by the way!"
