Chu Tianming waved his hand and said.

"If you don't do it, don't do it, then you can take over the other industries, and I will give you a list, and the people on it are all in power under Wan Qianjin. ”

After saying this, the fifth prince and Chu Tianming left, and an hour later, an old man in black came to the courtyard and brought the list.

At the same time, this old man in black, who is also an old acquaintance with Xue Jian, will temporarily follow Xue Jian and escort him.

This person is called Lin Lao by the Five Princes, he is a member of Concubine Jing's mother's family, and his strength has already reached the Little Grandmaster of the Mixed Yuan Realm, and he has been by the side of the Five Princes since he was a child to protect his safety.

Lin Lao usually does not smile, but he cherishes the five princes very much in his heart.

After all, it was the child he watched grow up, and he always treated the fifth prince as half a grandson.

Xue Jian took the list and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Where's Wu Luo, why haven't you seen him lately?"

The young man who usually follows the five princes and always has an arrogant posture looks like a servant of the five princes at all, but like a younger brother.

Lin Lao replied lightly.

"Wu Luo is a descendant of my Lin family, and he is also the cousin of the fifth prince, and now he has returned to the Lin family. ”

Xue Jian nodded.

No wonder the young man is usually arrogant, it turns out that he is also a descendant of the big family of the Imperial City.

Xue Jian didn't think much about this, but put his mind on that list.

After reading it, his first target was to lock on a person named Sun Liangui.

This person has a low status in front of Wan Qianjin, and can only be said to be a middle-level manager, but the business he is in charge of is not small.

Half of the grain, oil, and daily necessities in the entire imperial city are in the hands of this Sun Liangui.

It can be said that his business maintains the basic food and clothing of a city.

Although these trivial small businesses may not sound as profitable as real estate and mining minerals, in fact, the benefits of grain, oil and daily necessities are far higher than all other businesses.

With the goal in mind, that afternoon, Xue Jian went to the household department to check all the information and tax payment records of this person, and found that this person had almost no stains.

In this case, there are only two possibilities.

Either Sun Liangui spent money to buy off the household officials, or Sun Liangui did a very clean business and did not exceed the rules.

Sun Zhai, located on the edge of the rich businessmen's gathering place in Nancheng District, is not particularly luxurious and decent.

Xue Jian and Lin Lao came to visit directly, and when they knocked on the door to report their names, the big housekeeper's face immediately changed, and he quickly closed the door and went to report.

After a while, the chief housekeeper came back and said that Sun Liangui was unwell and it was inconvenient to meet guests.

It's just that Xue Jian didn't pay attention to him at all, pushed open the door as soon as he pushed open the door, and broke in directly.

The big butler said angrily.

"You...... You are so bold that you dare to trespass on a private house, hurry up and get out, otherwise I will report to the official. ”

Xue Jian sneered, took out a token representing the identity of the official and said.

"I am the head of the household department, and I have come here to inquire about taxes, which is in line with the law, so what can you do if you report to the official?"

The chief butler didn't care if this person was the head of the household at all, anyway, the old man explained, and when he didn't see these people, he shouted loudly.

"Nurses, hurry up and get them out. ”

In a few moments, seven or eight strong men with wooden sticks rushed out and surrounded them.

Xue saw that he didn't even look at this group of people, and sneered.

"If you can't be intimidated, you will come hard? Do you think you can be tougher than me?"

With his hands behind his back, he raised his feet and stepped heavily on the ground, and a wave of vitality spread out from the ground, causing the seven or eight guards to retreat in horror.

It was as if an invisible hand was pushing them back, and they couldn't resist it at all.

At this time, a middle-aged man of about forty walked out of the front hall.

The man was pale, as if he was sick, and his body was as thin as firewood, and one was worried that the wind outside would blow him down.

When he saw Xue Jian's methods, he immediately knew that this person was a martial arts cultivator, and his realm was not low.

"Stop, you all stand down. ”

The nurses immediately bowed their heads and said yes, and left the place.

The chief steward stepped forward a few steps forward and said worriedly.

"Master, why did you come out, it's windy outside, and your bones can't be blown off. ”

The thin man waved his hand and looked at Xue Jian arched his hand.

"The contemptible person is Sun Liangui, I don't know what happened to the master bookkeeper who came to the door today? The contemptible person remembers that he has never owed a cent of tax to the household department. ”

Xue Jian strode forward and returned the salute with a smile.

"Let's go in and talk slowly. ”

At this point, Sun Liangui had no choice but to welcome them into the living room and let the steward serve tea.

In fact, he turned Xue Jian away, firstly because he was really not in good health, so it was inconvenient to meet guests, and secondly, because the current situation was chaotic, and he didn't want to be dragged into troubled waters.

After the two of them were polite, Xue Jian did not go straight to the topic, but cared about his body.

"Boss Sun seems to be sick, I don't know if I can help in the future?"

Sun Liangui sighed lightly, shook his head and said.

"** Sick, my heart has not been good since I was a child, and I can't be cured by many famous doctors, so I can only rely on medicine to maintain it. ”

Xue saw that his heart moved, took out a medicine bottle from his arms, and said.

"I have a bottle of healing pill here, if Boss Sun can trust it, you can take the next one and try it, I don't dare to guarantee that the medicine will get rid of the disease, but it can restore Boss Sun's qi and blood a lot. ”

Da Huan Dan is a healing elixir produced by the system, and any external and internal injuries can be cured quickly, and it is natural for this kind of ordinary people's disease.

Sun Liangui glanced at the medicine bottle suspiciously, and finally did not choose to take it.

After all, they were meeting for the first time, and the two parties had no relatives and no reason, so he naturally couldn't trust Xue Jian.

Xue Jian didn't mind, put the pill on the table next to him, and glanced at the big butler standing next to him, and the meaning was clear.

Sun Liangui understood, looked at the big butler and commanded.

"Go down first, and let no one come in without my command." ”

The chief butler nodded and retreated, and only him, Xue Jian, and Lin Lao were left in the hall.

Xue saw that he was straight to the point.

"I wonder if Boss Sun knows the news that the richest man in the imperial city will die soon?"

As soon as these words came out, Sun Liangui's face immediately changed greatly, he looked at Xue Jian angrily, and said in a deep voice.

"Lord Bookkeeper, be careful what you say, and don't be open-mouthed. ”

Xue Jian sneered and told him what happened last night, focusing on the killing of Liu Laosan by the killers of the Thousands of Golden Sects, as well as the anger of the emperor this morning.

"Boss Sun, it seems that your news is not well-informed, your big boss is about to go to prison, and you still know about it. ”

Sun Liangui's face changed and changed, and finally became extremely ugly, and for a while he couldn't suppress the emotions that fluctuated too much in his heart, and coughed violently.

A mouthful of blood coughed up from his mouth and sprayed into the palm of his hand, his entire face turned pale and he struggled to breathe.

Xue saw that this person's old illness had recurred, and he seemed to be dying, so he couldn't care about anything more, picked up the medicine bottle next to him, took out a big pill and handed it over.

"Boss Sun, take this pill quickly. ”

At the moment of life and death, he couldn't think about it so much, so he quickly took the pill.

Sure enough, after a while, Sun Liangui's complexion regained its ruddy complexion, and he no longer coughed, and his breathing was much smoother all of a sudden.
