When Lin Cai said this, he took a special look at Fan Niande's reaction.

At this time, Fan Niande leaned forward, very focused.

Lin Cai smiled secretly in his heart and took the bait.

Lin Cai took out a few pieces of paper from his sleeve: "The lower official sent someone to find the shopkeeper Lin again, but he couldn't find it." As usual, his shop was burned, and as a bitter lord he could report to the official, but he hid. This brings us to the third point of doubt. The last official was puzzled, the person who died in the store was not Shopkeeper Lin, who could it be? ”

After listening to Lin Cai's words, Fan Niande already had a concept in his head.

Shopkeeper Lin borrowed Han Jiang's trench to transport the silver away, right!!

Fan Niande reacted violently, who is Han Jiang, Han Jiang is Han Yanxuan's adopted son, and his name was Li Xing before. What did Han Jiang do in Yangzhou, he came to inherit his grandfather's inheritance, silver, silver, the silver that Wei Lao Ghost hid.

Lin Cai kept staring at Fan Niande's expression, and felt that Fan Niande had already finished making up his mind and stood up: "Raise the sentence, please transfer 100 state soldiers and 30 government servants." An unknown person died in the arson case, and the lower officials were afraid that someone would help him escape from Yangzhou, so he asked for a card. ”

"Do it, do it right away. I'll write you a warrant now. ”

Fan Niande is a prisoner on Huainan East Road, and he is also the governor of Yangzhou, and he has the right to mobilize Yangzhou's Xiang army, as well as to equip the election officials with the necessary sword and shield armament.

Lin Cai took the warrant and left.

Lin Cai, a jinshi fourteen years ago, was not a descendant of Han Yanxuan, but he had done things for Han Yanxuan, so with the help of Han Yanxuan, he was promoted by half a level.

It became the general judgment from the seven products.

This time, he took the initiative to choose to stand up and do this, first of all, he knew that Wang Xilu had secretly arrived in Yangzhou, and he was next to Han Jiang. Secondly, he wanted to get on Han Yanxuan's boat. The last reason is that he has a hunch that this time it must be a big event, there will be a big shock in the officialdom, and every time there is a big shock in the officialdom, there will be an opportunity for the official position to explode.

In addition to him, there are two other people who are also cooperating with this.

Lin Cai had just left, Fan Niande calmed down, and what he was most worried about was the money that Old Ghost Wei hadn't handed over.

He immediately instructed his personal entourage to check how many boxes Han Jiang's trench had bought, how many carriages he had rented, and then sent someone to check the official documents, and the ships of the sailors who were hired to transport goods and escort must have official official documents. The contents of the goods transported must be reported, and any entrainment can be confiscated.

About half an hour later, two more men came.

One is Wang Keqiu of the Wang family, and the other is the master of the Wang family, as well as the first doctor and the first teacher. Shi Kangnian.

Shi Kangnian is responsible for teaching children in the Wang family, and is also a master and a doctor.

The appearance of this person was an accident.

Originally, Shi Kangnian was a pure doctor, teacher, and master. Although he knew a thing or two about the Wang family, he didn't investigate it in depth, after all, it was none of his business.

But.

He has a senior uncle, this uncle spoke, he didn't even hesitate to die, and he didn't hesitate to pull the Wang family into the water.

His uncle is Shi Ziyan.

said that he was an uncle, but he accepted apprentices on behalf of his senior brother and taught his senior brother the way of medicine, medical books, and the method of medicine pills.

When these two arrived, Wang Keqiu hurriedly said: "Fan Tixing, my Erlang is not at home when he goes north, and when I heard about the silver today, I really didn't have time to send a letter to Erlang, asking Fan Tixing to be the master." ”

"The Wang family has an old relationship with me, so it is natural to be the master."

"There are a total of six people involved in the salt sale, and four people have died, and only my Erlang and Shopkeeper Lin are alive at the moment. My Erlang also wants to find the silver hidden by the old ghost of Wei, and the shopkeeper Lin wants to transport the silver out of Yangzhou, I sent someone to inquire, and the young gentleman of the Han family bought a full 400 boxes, which are still being bought. ”

Fan Niande's head rang.

Four hundred.

In the past, a large wooden box could hold 400 silver ingots. Of course, this is theoretically a full case.

Four hundred silver ingots weighed only one ton.

The actual situation is that every large wooden box of silver must be added to the compartment, and it is not too real.

Each box can be loaded to 400 catties is the limit, and no matter how heavy the box is, it can't hold it.

But it is four hundred, Fan Niande calculated in his heart, two million and five hundred thousand taels.

If you're still buying it.

Each box is 6,400 taels, and if there are 500 boxes, I am afraid that there are more than 3,000,000 taels.

That's right, this must be Old Ghost Wei's silver.

Shi Kangnian gently pushed Wang Keqiu at this time, Wang Keqiu understood what this meant, and hurriedly stepped forward: "Fan Tixing, if this silver is transported out of Yangzhou, my Wang family will definitely be in big trouble, and I can't pay the salt money over there." And the silver owed to the official treasury, even if it is pushed to Wei Laogui, but privately lending the official treasury silver to the merchants, I am afraid that I don't know how many people will be exiled and dismissed. ”

That's right.

Fan Niande asked: "In this matter, the official has already sent Lin Cai to set up a card. ”

Shi Kangnian said at this time: "The student said that Lin Cai can check the silver by setting up a card, but this silver cannot be seen. ”

Fan Niande also understands this truth: "Do it this way, choose one person to get the official warrant, and let the money back once it is found, but who is better to do this?" ”

Shi Kangnian said: "Yangzhou don't drive Zhang Yan, several times salt introduction, customs clearance, and transshipment. In the past few years, he has received at least 2,000 yuan from the Wang family, and if he doesn't do this, he will do it. ”

"Okay, it's him, this thing is going to be done."

Fan Niande wrote the warrant.

Wang Keqiu was obviously relieved.

Although he was not directly involved in this matter, if he lost such a large sum of silver, he didn't know if the Wang family would be able to hold on, but his branch would definitely be finished.

Say the other side.

Han Jiang returned to the Yangzhou branch of the trench, and the three letters were delivered to his hands.

One letter to Wang Xilu and Lu You. It is a letter written by Hong Mai, and this letter is inconvenient for Han Jiang to read.

Then there is a letter written by the Privy Council, addressed to Han Jiang, Wang Xilu, Lu You, and Xin Qiji.

The last letter was given to Han Jiang by Han Yanxuan.

In the first letter, Hong Mai said that there should be no urgency in this kind of big case, don't panic, and do everything to eliminate evil, he has already contacted a person to help secretly, don't ask, do your own thing. Afterwards, he asked the court for meritorious service.

The second letter is to be kept. I've written a lot of it, and I can summarize it in one sentence.

If this matter is true, Wang Xilu will do this matter well, and the matter of going out again will be kept right, as your solid backing, you can do it boldly.

Compared with the previous two letters, Han Yanxuan's letter to Han Jiang was the most domineering.

Just one sentence.

lifted Yangzhou, and the sky collapsed with my father's support.

Han Jiang didn't keep the letter a secret, and showed it to several other people.

After reading the letter, Wang Xilu scolded: "Old thief Han has gained a lot of benefits, and he is really cheap." ”

Han Jiang just grinned.

Indeed, Han Yanxuan didn't seem to get the actual benefits.

However, the friendship of the old minister of the three dynasties, Hong Mai, the friendship of the Privy Council, and the good impression of Zhou Bida, the left minister of the court. That's a lot more than money.
