The current head of the Rong family is called Rong Zhi, and he is Rong Che's brother-in-law. But he doesn't have any talent for business, although he won't be deceived by others, but he can't increase the Rong family's assets a little.

Originally, the Rong family was an imperial businessman, although Rong Zhi was not very good at doing business, but with the name of the imperial merchant, he could make money no matter what, and naturally he would not let the Rong family lose money.

But after the new emperor ascended the throne this year, he seemed to intend to replace the imperial businessman, so the burden on Rong Zhi's body became a lot heavier, and he just felt that he didn't know how to act.

He was already lazy, he liked to have fun more than he thought about things at home, and in short, his idea was that the sky was falling and there were tall people on top of him, and he would never let himself be hurt in the slightest, so that now when it was a critical moment, he had nothing to do.

Boredom, he went out for a walk and met a fairy-like woman, who was not only beautiful, but also quite smart. The two just chatted for a while, Rong Zhi got a suggestion from her, and just one sentence doubled the Rong family's profit that month, Rong Zhi felt that this woman was a strange commodity to live in, and immediately brought her back to the Rong family.

After that, he obeyed her, but only in business.

Recently, Rong Zhi noticed that something was wrong with this woman.

There are always people coming and going in the courtyard where she lives, and these people are not only from the Celestial Empire, but also many from other countries, which makes Rong Zhi a little strange.

Rong Zhi had also asked her before, who are those people? She only replied that she was a businessman, and said that if Rong Zhi was interested, she could recommend it on her behalf, although Rong Zhi felt a little strange, but did not continue to delve into it.

Until Jinyiwei took himself to the prison of Jinyiwei, Rong Zhi still didn't understand what he had done wrong.

"Lord Rong."

Even if he is an imperial businessman, he can be regarded as a half-official, and Gu Yu is quite polite to him. Although Rong Zhi muttered in his heart, he didn't know what he had done, which angered Jin Yiwei and brought him directly to Jin Yiwei's prison.

"I don't know why Master Gu brought me over?"

"Naturally, it's about several explosions in the capital last night."

Gu Yu didn't hide this, and he didn't want to play with him, guess me the game.

Rong Zhi frowned and said, "What does this have to do with me? ”

"It doesn't matter if it doesn't matter, it's up to me to decide. All you need to do is answer my little questions. ”

Originally, Lin Xin didn't plan to let Gu Yu take him to the dungeon, but later, when he thought that he had never seen Jin Yiwei handle a case, he simply took this opportunity to take a closer look. What's more, Rong Zhi is an imperial businessman, even if he is a Jinyi guard, he will not torture him too much.

Rong Zhi smiled reluctantly and said, "As long as it doesn't involve my family's secrets, I can answer the questions you ask." ”

The subtext of this is that Gu Yu took advantage of yesterday's turmoil to deliberately find his own fault.

Gu Yu pretended not to understand, but asked, "The household department bought thirty-five catties of black medicine from Lord Rong. ”

Rong Zhi nodded and said, "That's right, on the sixth day of the lunar month." ”

The amount of gunpowder was huge, and Rong Zhi remembered it quite clearly. It's just that in Gu Yu's eyes, he has ulterior motives and has prepared a way to deal with it.

"After that, the military department returned thirty-three catties of black medicine ......"

"Wait, Lord Gu is wrong, only eleven catties of black medicine have been returned, how can it become thirty-three catties?"

Rong Zhi's eyes widened, looked at Gu Yu and said, "If Lord Gu wants to frame me, you don't need to use this kind of indiscriminate means." How much I have recovered is recorded in the accounts, not only the military department has account books, but also the account books of my Gu family. ”

Gu Yu glanced at Rong Zhi, frowned and said, "According to the records of the Ministry of War, Lord Rong, you have recovered it in three times, each time it is eleven catties, if Lord Rong can come up with evidence to check below, it would be the best." ”

Rong Zhi said: "It's in the pile of ledgers you brought back." ”

Gu Yu nodded at Rong Zhi and said, "If it is really as Lord Rong said, it can prove that Lord Rong is innocent." ”

Lin Xin flipped through the account books of the Rong family, and only looked at the part about black drugs, and immediately hooked the corners of his mouth, this Rong family is going to be unlucky.

Gu Yu happened to see this scene and asked, "Could it be that you found a clue?" ”

"Maybe I've found another victim."

"You mean to say that Rong Zhi was wronged?"

"Well, it's not that he was wronged, but that he was calculated."

"So, the black medicine is really missing from him?"

"That's right."

Lin Xin said as he handed the account book to Gu Yu to see: "You see that the three sums on this are exactly the same recovered, but the final inventory has only increased by eleven, if it is not deliberately done by someone with a heart, who will believe it." ”

Gu Yu was silent again, and when he found out here, it seemed that the implication was getting wider and wider, so it seemed that the entire Rong family had a lot of enemy spies, and it was more likely that those. In this explosion, people were killed.

Lin Xin handed over the account book to Gu Yu, and then said: "This matter can't be checked anymore, so it's better to leave it to the emperor to decide." ”

Gu Yu looked at the account book in his hand and suddenly asked, "What do you think the emperor will do?" ”

"Destroy the Rong family."

Lin Xin's voice was very soft, what he said was not groundless, but inferred from Qi Yuan's style of behavior after he ascended the throne.

The Rong family has been an imperial businessman for so many years, and the wealth of the family is rivaled by the country, but when the national disaster is at hand, they do not plan to donate their property, and this is the opportunity for the emperor to make up his mind to destroy them.

Now that there is such a good opportunity to execute the Rong family justifiably, the emperor will naturally never let it go, even if he knows that the Rong family was framed in this matter.

Gu Yu obviously understood, but he didn't understand, was it right to do this by himself?

"Hey, don't worry, the Rong family is destroyed, which is a good thing for the people of the Celestial Empire. In this matter, the Rong family may be innocent, but they have done more evil things, if they hadn't been controlling this business world and filling their pockets, maybe the Celestial Empire would have unified the countries a long time ago. ”

Lin Xin saw Gu Yu's hesitation, so he persuaded a few words.

Gu Yu nodded, he naturally understood these things, but he always felt that the disaster would not affect his wife and children, and there was no need for those old and weak women and children to bear these things.

Lin Xin scratched his head again and said, "If you think that it should be a disaster for your wife and children, then you are very wrong, they are members of the Rong family, and they have received the favor of the Rong family." Since the Rong family has it, then they should naturally bear it together, otherwise, why did the Rong family raise them for so many years. Well, this applies to everywhere else as well, both enjoying the natural deserving. ”

Gu Yu was stunned, could this Lin Xin fail to read minds? He understood what he was thinking in his heart, and if it was really what he could see, it would be a little scary.
