Jiang Ya knocked on the door and said, "Jiang Li is here, and he is at Mei's house!" ”

The closed door suddenly opened halfway, Fan Sicheng stretched out his head and quickly glanced outside the house, and stretched out his hand to pull Jiang Ya in. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

As soon as he entered the room, Fan Sicheng let go of the hand that was holding Jiang Ya's sleeve, and asked angrily: "I have something to ask, you go and let people pass the word." Are you standing outside the door shouting like this, for fear that Qin Yuanhua's people don't know? ”

"You said it, let me tell you about Jiang Li as soon as I hear it!" Jiang Ya's face was flushed, and there was no grievance in her tone. "Besides, I don't stand outside the door and say, can you let me in?"

Fan Sicheng had a cold face and didn't have time to speak, when another voice took over: "There are also people from Qin Yuanhua here?" In a surprised tone, it was Fan Yancheng who asked this sentence.

Only then did Jiang Ya notice that there was another person in the study.

"Why not?" Fan Sicheng's handsome face squeezed a helpless smile and sat down opposite his brother.

He propped his chin with one hand, grabbed a pen with the other and played with it between his fingers, and explained in an idle tone: "Originally, this messenger was Qin Yuanhua, and the eighth prince temporarily asked for it for me. The candidates for the previous trip were all prepared by Qin Yuanhua in advance, and I had to take all the orders and bring them, and there will inevitably be his eyeliner among these people. ”

After speaking, he turned his head and asked Jiang Ya: "You said that Jiang Li came to the Mei family, how many people did she bring?" Do you have a large number of carriages and horses? ”

Jiang Ya shook her head, "I asked Mrs. Mei sideways, and she seemed to say that Jiang Li only brought a girl, and there was no carriage and horses." ”

"That's weird." Fan Sicheng got up and paced and groaned. As soon as she looked back at Jiang Ya still in front of her, she thought of her own words, which made her run back and forth to the Mei family twice these days, and it was inevitable that she would continue to associate with the Mei family in the future, so her tone was softer: "You go down, I'll look for you again if I have something in the future." ”

Jiang Ya glanced at Fan Yancheng, originally thought that today would be a good opportunity to be alone with Fan Sicheng, but he was disturbed by his sudden eldest brother, even if she was unwilling, she had to respond "yes" and retreat.

"Didn't you come to investigate those smuggling cases, why did you get Jiang Li involved?" Fan Yancheng waited for Jiang Ya to leave, and asked hesitantly.

Fan Sicheng replied: "Those smuggling cases are almost over." Hearing that you were halfway through the news that the Seven Poisons Sect and the Great Yan people were chasing Jiang Li, I couldn't help but turn over the past and think about it, and thought of some new suspicions, so I thought of checking Jiang Li's body again. Those dozens of boxes, the eighth prince has always taken it to heart. ”

As a person from the Shadowless Gate, and cooperated with the Eighth Prince on the secret order of the Sect Master, Fan Yancheng also wanted to hear about the things that the Eighth Prince had in mind: "What suspicions?" ”

Fan Sicheng stared: "I remembered an incident three years ago. At that time, Xiao Yu begged the eighth prince to come forward to persuade the imperial court to enter the Xiao court in advance, and the eighth prince proposed to ask for ten water pure pearls and a few ancient paintings as a reward. At that time, Xiao Yu had never left the capital, but a few days later, he handed over the Ten Shui Jingzhu and the paintings to the Eighth Prince. You must know that Shui Jingzhu and those paintings are part of the contents of those dozens of boxes, that is, those dozens of boxes were still in the capital at that time. ”

"Yes." It was the first time Fan Yancheng had heard about the bribery of the eighth prince. Ten Hu water net pearls, that is worth millions of taels of Nanchen heirloom national treasure.

Fan Sicheng continued to analyze: "When Xiao Ting and Xiao Yu left Beijing, we were always watched, and we didn't see them taking away a large number of goods. Consistent with the news that we planted in Nanchen Xizuo, Xizuo also said that Nanchen did not have the news of those treasures. ”

These are all things that Fan Yancheng already knew before, because Fan Sicheng told him.

"But what I didn't tell you before is that when I took out the Shui Jingzhu to send Jiang Li, her appearance was obviously that she had seen those things. At that time, the eighth prince and I thought that she might have only seen it, but it only meant that she only knew about Xiao Yu's robbery of those boxes, and at most she had only seen it. Fan Sicheng talked about the events of the year very calmly.

He sighed, "It's just that I was tender to Jiang Li at that time, and I never wanted to think about what happened to her in the worst way." Now that I think about it, Xiao Yu is stared at every time he comes and goes to the capital, and he is a foreigner, so it is not easy to take such a large batch of goods out of the capital. And no one has ever seen him bring a large number of goods out of Beijing. On the contrary, Jiang Li's business has been very good in recent years, and all kinds of goods have frequently left Beijing. So ・・・・・・"

Fan Yancheng interrupted his younger brother's words: "So you suspect that in fact, that batch of goods may have been in Jiang Li's hands all along?" Maybe it was transferred by Jiang Li, so we haven't been able to find it? ”

Fan Sicheng nodded, "I used to think that if she left Beijing, she would definitely go to Qingzhou with Xiao Yu, so those goods might also be shipped to Qingzhou, after all, Qingzhou also has the Jiang family's industry." But you summoned her halfway through that she had come to Jiangnan, so I guessed that she might have smuggled those goods to Jiangnan. That's why I asked Jiang Ya to take Jiang Li's name and go to Mei's house to inquire. ”

"And what are you going to do?" Fan Yancheng asked casually.

Fan Sicheng smiled at the eldest brother, "You follow her for a while to see what she is doing and where she has been, and you can probably find some clues." ”

Fan Yancheng snorted coldly: "Why am I going again?" "He has dealt with Jiang Li, and he has a bad impression of her, and he feels that she is a very headache girl.

"She can get here all the way safely, she must have a master guard by her side, can others go without being discovered by the guards around her, who will you go if you don't go." Fan Sicheng's tone of course. Then he thought again: "Didn't you say that sister-in-law and Jiang Li had a good conversation in Xiushan?" Find an opportunity to let your sister-in-law walk around with Jiang Li more, maybe you can find some useful news. ”

"Yuanbi? Forget it. She's too straight. "Don't tell Jiang Li what you should say and what you shouldn't say. Fan Yancheng knows the people around him very well.

"How did the smuggling case end so quickly?" Fan Yancheng turned to care about the current situation.

Speaking of the smuggling case, Fan Sicheng's tone became solemn: "For those cases, I have sealed several Mei family's commercial buildings, and there are records of every auction in their commercial buildings, but fortunately, I came, not Qin Yuanhua." According to the instructions of the eighth prince, I wiped out all the account books related to the Ten Thousand Buddhas. ”

If it doesn't involve Ten Thousand Buddhas, it won't affect the Shadowless Gate, so Fan Yancheng also helped with ideas.

"In the past few years, the pig iron bought by Wan Buddha Zhai has attracted the most, although it is erased, which unlucky ghost should be found to carry this black pot? Small-gang factions are definitely not good. That's a lot of pig iron, how many ordnance can be made? Not to mention that there is such a large amount of sulfur saltpeter smuggled from Dayan, planted on the heads of ordinary gangs, it does not match at first glance. ”

Fan Yancheng looked at the out-and-out Jianghu guest, and discussed with his younger brother to frame him, and he was familiar with it. The two courtiers in the family are because of the smell of the ears and eyes.
