Chapter 342: Imperial Relatives

After looking through several account books in a row, Fang Ling found that there were indeed few records of human trafficking on them, most of them were bulk goods and miscellaneous items, and there was a detailed description of each of the goods, even if it was a man, there was a man's height, appearance characteristics, and so on.

Seeing Fang Ling reading carefully, Jiang Zifu didn't think much about it, he sat on the chair leisurely, and it didn't take long for him to gradually fall asleep with the effect of the "medicine" of the tranquilizing water.

As soon as Jiang Zifu fell asleep, Fang Ling immediately searched in the house, and after opening all the cabinets, he didn't find any records related to the top selling clubs, let alone a list of qualified people.

Fang Ling immediately concluded that there must be a dark room in the tent!

He searched carefully, and after a while, he found a hidden tiger head pendant behind a cabinet very close to the wall, which looked like decoration, but it was obviously a little out of place here.

Fang Ling walked sideways to the back of the cabinet, reached out and pressed it on the tiger head pendant, twisting tentatively. With the twisting of the tiger head pendant, suddenly the cabinet next to it moved more than a foot to the front, and the wall "exposed" a secret door to the back.

Fang Ling was secretly delighted, and walked into the secret door quickly, the dark room is actually not big, a small square room, there are three large wooden cabinets against the wall, each cabinet has dozens of drawers, and each drawer has a note pasted on it: Wujun Zhou family, Tong County Xie family, Ming County Tang family, Qinghe County Liu family......

Fang Ling casually opened a drawer to look, and found that it contained detailed records of the transaction records of officials from nearby counties and counties, and the children of the noble family in the black market, the more he looked at it, the deeper his brows wrinkled, there was also such a dark room in Heimu City, recording all kinds of transaction records, especially the officials of the famous clan.

However, those records are nothing compared to this one, and they are far inferior to the level of detail and all aspects of the investigation, and the scope of the investigation is so wide and the depth of the content that it involves is simply more professional than that of the government spies.

He searched in the dark room for a while, and it was not long before he found the hidden account book in a drawer without a note, but all the transaction records did not indicate what was being sold, but only the word "goods" instead.

The price of these goods is almost more than 10,000 taels, and Fang Ling bought Song Ying'er on the black market is 10,000 taels, the difference is not big, such a subtle way of expression, which makes Fang Ling feel that the goods sold in the top selling club are likely to be the women of Tsing Yi Fang, not to mention, the seller and buyer of the goods have not recorded in the account books, but on the account books outside, these two things must be recorded.

At the bottom of the book is a piece of paper with the words "List of Qualified Persons" written in neat "hair" pen letters, followed by the names of more than 30 people and their identities, and a line of small letters written after these identities: One person is allowed.

As soon as he saw this line of small characters, the corners of Fang Ling's mouth hooked up a smile, this is the key to entry, but the premise is on these qualifications.

After a skimming of these lists, a name suddenly came into view, it was Duan Rui, a relative of Qingzhou Thorn Shi who met in front of the inn.

Fang Ling sneered, wrote down everything written on the list in his mind, and then took out the details of the list characters from the surrounding drawers, and after quickly scanning it, he left the dark room.

Originally, if Lu Bei and others were to investigate these people, it would take a lot of work, but these people had already been investigated clearly by the black market, which was cheaper than Fang Ling.

After coming out, Fang Ling woke up Jiang Zifu and said that he had found the clue he was looking for, and then left the Mountain Lord's Mansion accompanied by Jiang Zifu.

At this time, when the night has already entered the sea, the inner city is already a brightly lit scene, because there are only a few hundred buyers and sellers in the entire inner city, so there are not many pedestrians on the road and there are not many patrolling guards, and the shops are also a little deserted, but doing a single business here is more profitable than doing dozens of businesses in the outer city, so the sellers in the shops are happy to be idle.

Fang Ling pondered carefully as he walked in the direction of the inn, and he combined the characters on the list with the detailed information he had seen, and more than thirty characters appeared vividly in his mind.

These thirty or so people are either rich or expensive, they are big names in nearby states and counties, and the power behind them is huge, and everyone has more or less weaknesses, but it is not easy to take advantage of these weaknesses in a short period of time and obtain the qualification to accompany them into the top selling clubs.

At the same time, the tightness of the Mountain Lord's Mansion was also much beyond imagination, which made Fang Ling feel more and more that there was a big secret hidden in this Mountain Lord's Mansion. Take the account room as an example, from the building materials, structure and external organs of the entire room, they are all interlocked, and the manpower and material resources required to build it are very large, and I am afraid that if it is built, it will cost at least 10,000 taels of silver, and the structural price of the entire mountain lord's mansion is only about 1 million taels.

Before the black market began, the mountain owner Yan Haoyang was able to throw such a big move, but I am afraid that it is not pure self-confidence, will there be a tough backstage behind him?

This sudden idea made Fang Ling himself secretly taken aback, if there is a backstage behind Yan Haoyang, then this Badu Mountain black market is not so simple, then this backstage is very likely to be Tsing Yi Fang!

This speculation is not impossible, in addition to the abundant financial resources, it is not possible for a simple bandit to investigate the various personnel in the surrounding counties so thoroughly and clearly, and record them one by one.

As soon as he thought of this, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in his field of vision, and when he fixed his eyes, the person who appeared was Duan Rui.

Of course, Duan Rui is not alone, he is also accompanied by two masters of the Black Mountain, just like before, the pedestrians on the road obviously know his identity, and they avoid him far away, not daring to approach him.

Although Duan Rui was also on the list, Fang Ling did not deliberately focus on him.

According to what is written in the information, Duan Rui has many industries under his name by virtue of his identity as a relative of Qingzhou Thorn History and his businessman's mind, and his family wealth is at least three or four million taels of silver.

It is not a simple matter to make such a ruthless person obedient and obedient, and not to startle snakes in the inner city.

But what made Fang Ling a little concerned was that Duan Rui was in a hurry at this time, and there was still a little excitement on his face, obviously he had encountered something good.

Fang Ling's eyes rolled, and he quickly followed, only to see Duan Rui and his party walk into the Ruyi Cabinet Shop in the inner city and take out a small box from it.

The so-called cabinet is a store that helps others keep gold and silver, anyone can keep a large amount of silver taels in the cabinet in advance, and then pick up ♀ samples at any branch in other areas, it is much easier to go out, and there is no need to carry a large amount of silver taels on their bodies. Of course, the cabinet also charges a certain rent according to the silver taels stored.

The small box that Duan Rui took out was square and long, if it contained gold, it would definitely not be able to hold much, but if it was filled with silver tickets, it would be a few thick stacks, and it could be a million taels no matter how it was said.

Sure enough, I saw Duan Rui immediately open the box to check, and it was full of silver tickets with the highest denomination of five thousand taels, neatly stacked, and the two fierce men of Montenegro were masters, and they couldn't help but stare at each other, and "revealed" a little greed.

Duan Quan finished the silver tickets, which happened to be 200, a total of one million taels, and then covered the box and left the cabinet in a hurry.

Fang Ling thought slightly, looking at him like this, it seemed that he was going to buy some valuables after taking the money, but although the goods in this inner city were priced at a starting price of one thousand taels, one hundred thousand taels was actually considered a high price.

100,000 taels is only 20 silver tickets, you can stuff them in your clothes casually, and the silver taels on the shackles can't be less than this number, that is to say, what he wants to buy is definitely not 100,000 taels, and he must use the silver tickets in the box, what will the items that cost dozens of taels of silver to buy?

Fang Ling's suspicions were even heavier, and he followed the three of them from a distance, that is, he would not lose them, and he would not be discovered by the three murderers of Montenegro.

Sure enough, the three of them quickly walked to the store, Fang Ling was not in a hurry to follow up, but saw that there were a lot of pedestrians outside the field, and there were many discussions around the side of the door, and many people were excited and whispered.

Fang Ling squeezed in to take a look, and found that there was a notice posted on the door wall, which was densely written with more than thirty items to be sold at tonight's sale.

Fang Ling glanced at it slightly, and when it landed on the last line of words, his eyes suddenly lit up, and the last item for sale was actually the Nine Dragons Blood Jade Carving.

Dragon's blood jade, the jade that is said to be mutated because of the dragon's blood, its whole body is scarlet, and it will emit a faint red light day and night, and it can release dazzling light under certain conditions.

This thing is very rare, it can be said that it is a rare thing to see in a hundred years, once it is found in various places, it is regarded as a tribute to the emperor, the imperial doctor will grind the dragon blood jade into powder, and give the emperor some every month, which can make it prolong its life, according to historical records, all the emperors who have taken dragon blood jade powder in history are more than 100 years old, and it is said that they are still young and strong when they are over 100 years old.

Seven hundred years ago, there was a carving master named Mo Wenyu on the earth, the reason why this person is very famous is first of all because of his birth, he was a relative of the emperor of the more powerful country of the earth, because he was tired of the fight between the royal families, so he simply left the imperial city and traveled the world.

This person was taught his skills by the master of the court carving since he was a child, and after many years of wandering, he suddenly became a famous teacher. His carving skills are extremely superb, it is said that the millennium is traced, and no one can surpass his craftsmanship in the following millennium, but all the works from his hands are crowned with sky-high prices, and the most even is the legendary "Nine Dragons Blood Jade Carving".
