Chapter 65: Summer Goes to Autumn
After letting him retreat, Lee Seungji pointed to a person's name and muttered, "Hainur Muhammad!" ”。 Comparing the translation on the jade pendant again, I have a plan in my heart.
Because according to the records of the book, this person was the sixth occupant of the Yang Mansion Mansion. It's just that on a rainy day with thunder, it suddenly disappeared without a trace.
At that time, it was rumored that the demons and monsters in the house ate it.
Frightened by this, there were no more guests in the Yang Mansion Mansion.
Now it seems that the man is not missing, but has found a passage in the ground and has been killed by random arrows.
Looking at the origin of the Yang Mansion again, it is found that the earliest record is a wasteland with no people. Later, the Great Liao set up the capital here, and the city of Balasagon expanded to the surrounding areas. A businessman surnamed Yang built a house here.
It seems that something has changed, and when it was built, it was stopped for a long time. When the construction started again, the businessman surnamed Yang bought the surrounding plots again. The house was enlarged several times.
And in the mansion, there is also a room built entirely of jade. That is, in the second courtyard, the central hall is full of gods and Buddhas.
It is said that at that time, in order to show his generosity, a businessman surnamed Yang invited a large number of relatives and friends to come to the house to celebrate. The interior is not only filled with all kinds of gold and silver utensils, but also illuminates the room with more than ten huge night pearls.
Such a luxury, but in Balasagon has been passed down for a long time. Everyone said that the businessman surnamed Yang made a fortune and was rich enough to rival the country.
However, Li Chengji found that the businessman surnamed Yang was just an ordinary businessman. In terms of identity and background, it is also related to the concubine of a salt official. So he relied on the salt he bought to sell some salt. Although the profit is considerable, it also requires a lot of money to make a dot up and down.
In addition, salt is a monopoly of the government, and even if private businessmen are involved, it will not account for the majority.
So it's really whimsical to be rich enough to rival the country.
But so much jade, so much gold and silver utensils, so much luxury, all of them were really there. Especially the night pearls that are numerous and quite large. Illuminating the entire jade house, it is bright and translucent.
So that the people who do not know the reason are called very rich.
Seeing this, Li Chengji had secretly guessed. Is it a merchant surnamed Yang who discovered the treasure underground. That's why in a short period of time, I got rich.
That's a good find!
Because this shows that the businessman surnamed Yang turned it into cash. Take it out and use it, and it's okay.
As if thinking of something, he took out a dinar from his bosom. It's empty, and there's not much text. When I took out other utensils such as jade, I couldn't find any clues.
He stopped thinking about it and continued to read the words on the book.
In the second month after discovering that the businessman surnamed Yang had built a house, a bloody case occurred. The entire Yang Mansion was slaughtered and killed.
Later, the businessman surnamed Yang was arrested and came to his senses in his cell. Knowing that he had committed such sins, he bit his tongue and committed suicide.
With such a simple record, Li Chengji couldn't see more clues.
Then you can browse the information of other residents.
Soon, he saw the common denominator.
That is, except for the fourth householder, when he was an outgoing businessman, he was killed by someone who crossed the goods. and the sixth occupant, who disappeared for no reason. The other residents have a record of mental disorders. Someone couldn't control himself and killed the whole family. Some of them set themselves on fire and hanged themselves in various ways to end their lives.
Although there is no record of what caused these people to go insane. But Li Chengji vaguely guessed that there must be something in the mansion that made people mentally prone to problems.
It's just that for a while, it's not so easy to figure out the reason.
Li Chengji also understood this truth, so he put it aside for the time being and thought about the construction plan of Jiao'an Fang.
With such a large area, it is certainly not appropriate to leave it empty.
But what to do with it, he didn't think about it yet. As a result, after being demolished into ruins, Jiao'an Fang has been empty. Many children regard this place as a place to play.
So in the following days, his mind was all on Jiao'anfang.
And the case of the fire at the Jade Dragon Jiechi Inn, which continues to be concerned by the outside world, has also made greater progress.
First of all, the official posted an official document to dismiss some of the court officials associated with the Khorezm business group. Then a nationwide wanted warrant was issued to pursue the news of Yaravachi and others.
He also conveyed an edict to the Shaheina (overseer) stationed in Khorezm to reprimand the Khorezm merchant group for squeezing the money of the Great Liao and fooling the people of the Great Liao.
The negative effects caused by this also continue to ferment.
Many merchants of Khorezm were beaten by the people on the streets of Balasagon and were beaten by the people. Some businessmen who did business with Khorezm also took the initiative to cut off business contacts. Some of the markets where Khorezm merchants gathered were also burned and looted.
Some Hu businessmen who were not Khorezm also suffered unjustified disasters.
However, because Li Chengji transferred the families of the vegetable vendor and the night incense seller in advance, the chief officer of the punishment room did not find any clues about the early transfer of Yarawachi and others. The Yang Mansion also avoided it.
In the end, the things of the Yang Mansion are not visible. For the sake of his own interests, Li Chengji had no choice but to hide this matter.
But other reasons about the Jade Dragon Jiechi Inn, he wrote it clearly on a small piece of paper. As long as Yi Libi and the torture chamber continue to investigate like this, the matter will definitely be cleared.
So in comparison, his selfishness is nothing.
It was in this exuberant atmosphere that Balasagon entered the end of autumn. Less of the heat of summer, the coolness of autumn, makes people feel uncomfortable. The recalled Northern Court Privy Envoy Ma Hemut Tebai and the Southern Court Privy Envoy Li Shichang also returned to Daliao from Yulong Jiechi.
Li Chengji deliberately revealed what he knew to Li Shichang. It's just that he didn't reveal the news about Yaravatchi in his hands.
After all, once Yarawachi is confessed, the variables are greater.
This caused Li Shichang to ask Li Chengji curiously why he knew so clearly about this matter.
In order to dispel Li Shichang's suspicions, he told the truth about how he found out that there was a poison hidden in the cup and how the Khorezm merchant group used a magnet to pretend to be a ghost. finally let Li Shichang believe most of it.
After that, everything in the court will be handled by Li Shichang.
Li Chengji concentrated on being a second ancestor and stayed in the Yang Mansion wholeheartedly. Li Xiao was worried about Li Chengye's marriage, and he didn't bother to pay attention to Li Chengji. So that he has unprecedented freedom.
If you don't return overnight, Li Xiao won't chatter.
But Xiao Chongde took the initiative to come to the door and asked him not to waste his martial arts.
