Chapter 670 Four Grain Robbery Tragedy (Nineteen)

Looking at Yan Yin, Ye Qingchen and Lin Qing'er, Xia Han said calmly, "The grain robbery tragedy is a well-planned and organized conspiracy. Their purpose is not for the batch of grain and grass. The grain and grass are just a means for them to cover up." , Their real purpose is to destroy the Qingqing family. The executor is Mu Feng, the second son of the lord of Fenghua City, who is also the younger brother of General Mu Shi under your command. And the team in black is gathered together by elite disciples of some families Yes, let Mu Feng train in secret, the Ghost Wolf was purchased by the Su family from General Yang Er, as for why it fell into Mu Feng's hands, Duan Yan is currently conducting the final investigation, "

After a pause, Xia Hanqing said again, "A total of 23 families participated in this food robbery tragedy. The Second General and General Mu Shi were also involved without knowing it. In addition, the whereabouts of Qingqing's House was revealed by a person named Lu Jun in black eyes, and General Yang Er, his logistics army had been handed over to His deputy, Chang Lin, is currently on his way to Zhenbei City, while Yang Er himself is missing. According to the investigation, it was the lynx and monkey in the black pupil who sent him the news. According to Duan Yan, these two people are Yang Er's brother, "

"23 families," Ye Qingchen was startled, and whispered, "How come there are so many?"

"These families are all major players, and there are some small families behind them, which are not counted," Xia Hanqing explained.

Yan Yin said calmly, "Uncle Han Qing, you just said that someone named Lu Jun leaked the news to Mu Feng and the others, didn't you?"

Nodding his head, looking at Yan Yin, Xia Han said calmly, "Yes,"

"Lu Jun..." Yan Yin clenched his fists and looked at Ye Qingchen and said, "Qingchen, please go and bring Lu Jun here. I want to know why he did this."

Lu Jun met Yan Yin when he went to save people in the small town where Duan Sanchi and the others lived when he went north. Later, Lu Jun joined his army, and was assigned to Shifang as his subordinate. Finally became a member of the black pupil.

But he didn't expect that Lu Jun would actually help Mu Feng and the others as an accomplice, which eventually led to the deaths of Liu Qingyan and Mingyu, and Liu Lao also died of illness due to Liu Qingyan's death.

Ye Qingchen was about to respond, Xia Hanqing said, "No need to go, Lu Jun was taken by Duan Yan to the Su residence, after Duan Yan comes, you will all understand the truth of this matter."

"Su Mansion?" Yan Yin frowned, then looked at Xia Hanqing and said, "Uncle Hanqing, you just said that Yang Er is missing."

Nodding, Xia Hanqing said, "Before we found him, he handed over the logistics army to Chang Lin to manage, while he himself went to another place. Duan Yan asked Chang Lin, but he never told us that Yang Er whereabouts,"

"Second brother Yang sold ghost wolves to the Su family, do you know the reason?" Lin Qing'er asked, "Second brother Yang is a good man, he has helped us before."

When Yan Yin first came out of the Yanyun Mountains, when he followed Fang Xue and Lin Qinger to the Southern College, he met Yang Er and the others in a place called Shili Canyon. At that time, the robbers were Yang Er and his The brothers protected them, so Lin Qing'er was still very familiar with Yang Er.

"According to Duan Yan's investigation, the reason why Yang Er sold ghost wolves to the Su family was to raise money to buy food for the army ahead," Xia Hanqing said. People like Mu Feng helped indirectly, "

Ye Qingchen said, "The most important thing at the moment is how those ghost wolves fell into Mufeng's hands from the Su family's hands. According to the rules set by Mo Wuqing when he sold ghost wolves, the more ghost wolves he bought , the higher the price, two thousand ghost wolves cannot be bought without a million taels of silver. The Su family is the largest caravan in northern Xinjiang. It is reasonable to buy ghost wolves for transportation, but it costs so It's a little unusual to buy so many ghost wolves at a high price,"

Nodding her head, Lin Qing'er said, "Sister Qingchen is right, a million taels of silver is not a small amount. Although the Su family has a big business, it is no longer the leader of the four major business groups. After plundering nearly [-]% of the property, the Su family is no longer as good as the Yang family and the Ling family, but at this time they are willing to spend a million taels of silver to buy two thousand ghost wolves. I have learned about the way of doing business. When Su Jinghong was the finance minister of the empire, the Su family adopted a steady and conservative policy for doing business, thus maintaining its position as the leader of the four major business groups in the empire. With his business experience and Foresight, it is impossible to change his conservative and prudent business style after entering the northern border, otherwise, he will not resolutely give up his right to be the finance minister in order to keep the Su family alive when the empire is in chaos Take the Su family to northern Xinjiang, "

After pondering for a while, Yan Yin said coldly, "Zhao Qing'er, you said so, it really doesn't look like Mr. Su's method, but now the head of the Su family is Su Xipo, and Mr. Su can't, it doesn't mean that Su Xipo can't." ,"

Su House.

Compared with the Su Mansion where Yan Yin returned to Zhenbei City, the current Su Mansion is much smaller and more low-key.

Ever since the magnificent and luxurious Su Mansion was demolished by Mo Wuqing under the order of Yan Yin, Su Jinghong and his wife Mi Xin moved out of the Su family and bought a medium-sized house in Zhenbei City to live in.

As for Su Xipo and the other children of the Su family, they each bought mansions in Zhenbei City to live in. However, if there is any major event in the Su family, the members of the Su family will still come to the Su residence where Su Jinghong lives for some discussion. .

At this moment, the atmosphere in the Su Mansion seemed a bit dignified.

In the hall of Su Mansion, there were not many people sitting.

Su Jinghong and Su Xipo were there, as were Duan Yan and Lu Jun.

Besides them, Mo Wuqing was also present.

"Su Xipo! You bastard, who told you to do this," Su Jinghong, who always looked kindly, looked at Su Xipo with anger on his face and scolded angrily, "Do you know what you did?"

Su Xipo looked up at Su Jinghong and said in a deep voice, "I don't think I'm wrong. I did all this just to bring the Su family back to its former prosperity,"

With that said, Su Xipo looked at Duan Yan and said, "Yes, I bought the ghost wolf from Yang's second-hand store. It cost 120 million taels of silver, of which 80 taels belonged to the families you mentioned, and the remaining 40 taels were I made it, we negotiated, after the matter is completed, I will keep a thousand ghost wolves, and the rest of the major families will be divided. Jun, I also got the news about Qingqing’s House from him, I’m already a useless person, you can do whatever you want with me.”

Let’s talk, Su Xipo glanced at Lu Jun with his head down and Mo Wuqing who looked at him calmly, and finally looked at Su Jinghong and said, “The Su family is no longer the old Su family. Xinjiang is the imperial capital, you are still the Minister of Finance, and Yanying is the umbrella, "

Looking at Su Xipo, Su Jinghong was about to say something when Su Xipo looked up to the sky and laughed, then strode out.

Seeing this, Duan Yan got up and said, "Old Su, the matter has been clarified, and I also need to report the situation to the commander,"

After a pause, Duan Yan said, "Young Madam is a good person. All of us don't want the relationship between Young Madam and Commander to change because of the Su family's affairs. If you really want to be good for Young Madam, then take good care of Su." let's go home,"

After speaking, Duan Yan took Lu Jun and turned to leave.

Watching Duan Yan leave, Su Jinghong finally looked at Mo Wuqing.

For Mo Wuqing, Su Jinghong didn't have a good opinion. After all, the Su residence was demolished by Mo Wuqing, and from the bottom of his heart, Su Jinghong looked down on Mo Wuqing, a family slave of three surnames.

But at this time, when the Su family is about to be in danger, Su Jinghong can't help pinning his hopes on Mo Wuqing.

"City Lord Mo, you are Yan Yin's most profitable subordinate, can you..." Before Su Jinghong finished speaking, Mo Wuqing got up and said, "It's getting late, and Wuqing is about to leave."

Su Jinghong was taken aback for a moment, and then his face turned red, looking sullen.

When he reached the entrance of the hall, Mo Wuqing stopped, turned his back to Su Jinghong and said, "The commanding general has returned to Zhenbei City. He was summoned by Yanyin to handle the food hoarding of the major families, and General Xueli is also leading the army." Going north, he was dealing with the tragedy of grain robbery. The two generals came out at the same time, which shows that Yanyin paid attention to these two matters. It just so happened that the Su family participated in both matters. In this northern Xinjiang, in the end, only There is a family, that is the Yan family, and it happens that Yan Yin is not a person who pursues power and status, so although he is now Dingbei Hou, he still only lives in the General's Mansion, not Yan's Mansion. The tree attracts the wind, I think Mr. Su understands this truth better than me, "

After finishing speaking, Mo Wuqing turned and left the Su residence.

Seeing the back of Mo Wuqing leaving, Su Jinghong suddenly fell into deep thought.

"The big tree attracts the wind, our Su family is indeed a bit attractive," Su Jinghong sighed, "The Su family...what will I use to save you this time?"

General's Hall.

Yan Yin stared at Lu Jun beside Duan Yan, and after he lowered his head in shame, Yan Yin looked at Duan Yan and said, "Sit down and talk, and tell me from beginning to end."

Nodding, Duan Yan sat aside, glanced at Lin Qing'er, Ye Qingchen and Xia Hanqing who had heard the news, and then said, "This is how it happened..."

Under Duan Yan's narration, Yan Yin finally understood the truth.

When the plague of alien beasts occurred in northern Xinjiang, the major families in northern Xinjiang hoarded a lot of grain and grass. Because of the rampant alien beasts, the people could not farm, so the grain production decreased a lot. In this case, grain and grass became A very important commodity.

However, after the northern border settled down, Mo Wuqing and the order jointly formulated a series of measures, which quickly restored the agriculture in the northern border. As a result, there was no market for the food and grass of the major families for a while. .

In the end, the major families turned their attention to Yanyin's black-clothed army, and planned to sell grain and grass to the black-clothed army to get cash.

Because before Yan Yin forced tens of millions of silver taels from the major families, the assets of the major families who had just experienced the disaster of the alien beast shrank significantly.

It was a good idea at first, but in the end it was rejected by Qingqing's House.

The Qingqing Family purchased grain from within the empire to deliver grain to the black-clothed army, so the grain in the granaries of the major families had to continue to be piled up. However, due to the long time of stacking, some grains had begun to mold and deteriorate.

After some discussion, these families decided to consume the food.

The way they consume is very simple, that is to secretly train a group of guards, and then consume the food and grass.

However, Yanyin had strict orders, and the number of guards of the major families was strictly controlled, and the leader of each family's guards was a soldier who came out of Yanyin's black army.

Under such circumstances, it is not easy to train a group of guards of their own.
