(Thanks to the big guy for my whitest 100 coins tip, and the book friend 20180502225108802 500 coins for the tip.) A new week, a new beginning! On Sanjiang, Lao Kun begs for recommendation vote support! ）

Seeing this, the little guy didn't care much, so he stepped forward and whispered to Shen Zhong's ear.

Shen Zhong couldn't help frowning when he heard this.

It turned out that the lord had banned the eldest prince during this time for the sake of safety. The eldest prince is a romantic person, and he will feel uncomfortable if he doesn't go to the Qinhuai River for a day.

But the father's order is difficult to disobey, and the eldest prince does not dare to openly disobey the master's order. In the end, the eldest prince came up with a way to get the best of both worlds.

That is to invite the courtesan to the house.

After thinking about it, the eldest prince still felt that it was most reliable for Shen Zhong to handle this matter, so he called his personal servant to come to the counter to explain to Shen Zhong, hoping that this loyal servant could send Aunt Hong to his room for recreation as soon as possible.

Shen Zhong was a little embarrassed for a while.

Strictly speaking, the eldest prince did not violate the ban order issued by the lord by doing this, but it was actually opportunistic.

On one side is the master, and on the other side is the eldest son, which makes Shen Zhong, who is caught in the middle, very difficult.

He didn't decide at once, but paced up the room with his hands behind his back.

The old man had the grace of knowing him, and promoted him from a primary school apprentice to a big treasurer of Ji Shengchang.

But the eldest prince is also the young master of the Shen family, and Shen Zhong can't help but listen to his orders.

Although the lord is now in the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, sooner or later the eldest prince will take over. If he offends the eldest prince, he will settle accounts in the future, and Shen Zhong will definitely end up with a miserable end of being swept away.

After thinking about it carefully, Shen Zhong still decided to go to Qinhuai River to get a red man to send to the mansion according to the instructions of the eldest prince.

As long as he is careful, he will not have any impact on the overall situation.

After thinking about it, Shen Zhong said to the little guy: "I will personally do what the eldest prince ordered, you can go back first." ”

The little guy was overjoyed, saluted Shen Zhong and turned to leave.

Shen Zhong sighed lightly, and ordered a few guys on the counter: "I'll go out, and if there's anything on the counter, I'll press it down first, and I'll talk about it when I come back." ”

......

......

"Someone, search!"

Chen Tianxiao came to the Jishengchang grain store with dozens of Jinyi guard captains menacingly, and commanded with a wave of his hand.

A group of Jinyi guards immediately poured into the store and looked around to search.

Where have the guys in the store seen such a formation, they were all dumbfounded with fright, and they stood there dumbfounded, not daring to say a word.

Flying fish suits, embroidered spring knives, these are all Jinyi Wei grandpa.

Chen Tian sat down with a smile on the golden knife, slapped the saber in his hand on the table and scolded: "What are you in charge of? ”

"This military master, my shopkeeper went out to run errands..."

A young man said tremblingly.

Chen Tianxiao snorted coldly and said: "Lao Tzu received a clue that Ji Shengchang was hoarding goods and raising the price of rice. Since your shopkeeper is not here, Lao Tzu is also relieved of being verbose. ”

After a short time, a group of Jinyi Guard captains replied one after another: "Lord Zongqi, no rice grain has been found. ”

"Hmph, go to the backyard and search for me!"

It was not easy for Chen Tianxiao to grab this beauty difference, and naturally he would not let the opportunity for meritorious service slip away from his hands.

The Shen family is the largest grain merchant in Nanjing, and it is believed that they did not participate in the manipulation of rice prices.

As for the evidence, if you find it, will you have it?

Jin Yiwei handles the case and can act on the news.

If you wait for the evidence to be conclusive before you investigate, the daylily will be cold.

This time, it is not only Jinyiwei who is investigating and prosecuting the case of raising grain prices, but also the East Factory and the Inner Factory.

The commander made the lord die, and he must find out the case before the east factory and the inner factory.

The status of the businessmen of the Ming Dynasty is limited, not to mention the Jinyiwei, even the ordinary county prefect does not dare to provoke.

The so-called county order of breaking the family, the prefect of destroying the door. If you annoy the Jinyi Guard, I'm afraid it is possible to even sit on the Nine Clans.

These guys are all people who understand, and they hide as far as they can.

They are not big treasurers, and they have not received much preferential treatment from the owner, so why should they put their own lives on the line for the owner?

Except for the four Jinyi Guard Captains who stayed at the gate, all the Jinyi Guard Captains poured into the backyard and began to search.

The backyard occupies a larger area than the front bunk, and it takes more time to search.

Chen Tianxiao was not in a hurry, picked up the teapot and poured a cup, and tasted it carefully.

Ji Shengchang's cellar was built behind the front bunk, and it was naturally the target of the search.

More than a dozen Jinyi Guard captains walked into the cellar one after another, and looked around separately.

It's just that the cellar is empty, not to mention the rice bags, not even a grain of rice.

These brocade guards were disappointed and turned to leave.

The captain of the Jinyi Guard, who searched in other places, also found nothing, and returned to the front bunk in despair.

"Your Excellency, I didn't find any hoarded food."

Chen Tianxiao's eyebrows were almost twisted together, and he scolded: "Can you check carefully?" If there is any omission, Lao Tzu will reward each of you with a whip. ”

The crowd didn't even dare to say it.

At this moment, a thin young man asked tentatively: "Master Jun, if you provide clues, will the government be rewarded?" ”

Chen Tian smiled and was overjoyed.

"Of course! If the clues provided are verified to be true, a reward of 500 taels of silver! ”

The young man's heart sank, and he gritted his teeth and said, "The rice and grain hoarded by the owner are all hidden in the cellar in the backyard. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a Jinyi guard lieutenant pulled his throat and said, "Impossible, we have searched the backyard cellar, and we haven't even found a bird feather." ”

The young man hurriedly said: "This military master doesn't know that the cellar in the backyard has a dark room, and it needs to be opened by pressing a stone wall." ”

Chen Tian stood up with a smile and ordered the young man, "You go ahead and lead the way!" ”

The sudden appearance of the young man turned the situation around.

Chen Tianxiao came to the backyard cellar surrounded by a group of Jinyi Guard captains.

Everyone followed the young man down to the cellar and looked around to see where the mechanism was.

The young man walked quickly to a stone wall to the north, turned his head, and said, "Lord Qiyu, the dark room is behind this wall." ”

Chen Tianxiao waved his hand and said, "Quickly open the stone wall." ”

The young man nodded, reached out and knocked three times on a stone brick in the upper right, and saw the whole stone wall twist apart.

Everyone, including Chen Tianxiao, was stunned.

I didn't think that there was such a mechanism hidden in this small cellar.

After all the stone walls were turned away, Chen Tianxiao rushed in first.

The chamber was very large, five or six times the size of the outer chamber. There were only a few lanes left in the entire dark room for one person to pass sideways, and the rest of the room was filled with stacks of sacks.

Chen Tianxiao pulled out the embroidered spring knife and casually stabbed it on a sack, and saw the white rice gushing out.
