Gao Jun said, "I won't pick this out for the time being, but Fan Ying should always be clearer." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Everyone went to see Fan Ying again, but Fan Ying hurriedly asked, "Senior brother, have you deduced any other clues, you can tell them quickly!" ”

"When the two deceased elders left home, they entrusted Fan Ying to their neighbors, and she only ...... at that time."

Fan Ying: I'm about nine years old.

Gao Jun: If the couple travels without a little girl, then it can be guessed that this trip will not take too long, no more than ten days at most. They did not bring an entourage, so it can be guessed that this trip must not be an ordinary affair and do not want everyone to know. Then he must have gone straight to buy the Yellow Lotus Pearl! Such an important and secret matter, the little girl who does not hide her mouth can understand it.

Zheng County Order: It's just that there is no proof of death, even if the headless lame white bones are suspected, there is no way to detect.

Gao Jun: We can also start from this Wang Haijiao, and we should give it a try.

Fan Boshan: It's just that where to find this person, I don't even have a specific county. Just look at the red finger marks he pressed, rough and broad, like an elderly man with calloused hands, I am afraid it will be even more difficult to find after more than ten years!

Gao Jun: Uncle, I don't know what my father-in-law made a living when he was alive?

Fan Boshan: My brother specialized in processing crocodile skins that were sent to Chang'an during his lifetime, and there used to be a small workshop that employed a few people...... Wait a minute! Wang Haijiao! At this point, Fan Boshan shook his head again.

Gao Jun: On this receipt, the father-in-law's county, county, and name are written very clearly, maybe the father-in-law is afraid that the other party will regret it.

Everyone nodded, 15,000 yuan was not a small amount. But buying such a treasure with this amount is not normal, and there is a feeling that it is a big bargain.

Chu Suiliang: There is some truth.

Gao Jun: Wang Haijiao collected this pearl, and if he was not in a hurry to use the money, he would never give it away. Since the matter is urgent, then you should always find someone you know well and have a certain amount of financial resources to close the deal quickly, and try to be as secretive as possible. Looking at it from below, for a person who originally had some financial resources, he was reluctant to let the township and neighbors know about the financial embarrassment caused by the change in his family.

Fan Boshan: Alas! If this Wang Haijiao also wrote where the name of the person is, it would be easy to visit, and we can even ask him if he knows of such a lame man.

Gao Jun: The pearl seller only has his name on the receipt and does not write his place of origin, which shows that he is really anxious and has a burning eyebrow, at least at that time he had no intention of repenting. The second can also be considered that the two are familiar with each other. Familiar rather than rural, who is that?

Fan Boshan: I just had an idea: Could this Wang Haijiao be the shopkeeper of the merchant who provided his brother with raw crocodile skin in previous years? I know that my brother is only cooked and processed, and the raw crocodile skin has always been purchased from outside, but I don't know where exactly it was purchased.

Chu Suiliang: It's not that I didn't think about finding this Wang Haijiao...... But...... The range is too big, how to probe!

Gao Jun: The two adults of Yuhang County and Yuqian County, can you send someone to check the county records of Guixian County separately to see what major events are going on in the area of Tianmu Mountain during the period from the 10th day of the first month of June in the ninth year of Zhenguan to the end of June.

Chu Suiliang: For example?

Gao Jun: For example, are there any thunderstorms? Let's assume that this white bone that has been struck by lightning has something to do with it! It's so plain that I can't ignore it. If it is irrelevant, deal with it as soon as possible, and save yourself from being disturbed by it!

Li County Commander and Zheng County Commander immediately sent people to check the county records.

Gao Du Governor gave a specific time, and several scribes from Yuhang County and Yuqian County flew out to read the county chronicles of the ninth year of Zhenguan in this county.

In a short time, news arrived.

The county annals of the two counties actually recorded at the same time: "On the night of June 15 in the ninth year of Zhenguan, in the Tianmu Mountain, torrential rain and thunder. The earth collapsed like thunder, and the rain leaked like the sky. When you get up in the morning, you can see it because of the wind and thunder, and the purple stream is a pond. ”

Zheng Zao County ordered to slap the stock hard: This is indeed the case! Tianmu Mountain is in this section, there is originally a mountain road, and there is a narrow stream called "Purple Creek Stream". But after that heavy thunderstorm, the cliff ridge collapsed, burying the mountain stream below for three or four miles. It's just that this official can't remember the year clearly. In this case, it is really possible!

Gao Jun: Let's say that the two elders bought the orb and walked to the mountain road by the Purple Creek at night, and suddenly encountered wind and thunder destroying the mountain...... Well, it is understandable that they were buried so far away.

Chu Suiliang: Is this a case?

Gao Jundao: No. Wouldn't it be annoying to Madame to close the case like this! You should always look for that Wang Haijiao, and only after checking it out in many ways can you be practical! Let's roughly calculate: On the 10th day of the sixth month of the ninth year of Zhenguan, the carriage carrying Mrs. Fan set off from a place south of Yuqian County to return to Yuhang County, and arrived at the Zixi Stream of Tianmu Mountain on the night of June 15 five days later?

Zheng County Order: I just don't know if Fan Yuanwai and Mrs. Fan will have some delays on the road, such as not leaving on the 10th...... If it is exactly ten days to set off, then a horse-drawn carriage will only travel seventy miles in one day.

Gao Jun: Most of the time it will be 90 days! After buying a strange treasure, there is still an only daughter in the family, who will delay more on the way? I'm afraid it's possible for the two elders to travel day and night. Then add half of the normal journey of the carriage.

Before the governor finished speaking, Zheng County's face was already red. With just one receipt, Lord Gao, the governor of Xizhou, speculated so much, although they were all speculations, but everything seemed to be seen with his own eyes.

He secretly looked at the young high-ranking official in Xizhou in front of him, his face was expressionless when he said these words, his eyes were fixed in one place and he didn't move, as if he was recalling an incident he had experienced more than ten years ago.

A man has such a sharp mind that he does not know what else and what opponent can make it difficult for him.

Next, Gao Jun's other sentence surprised everyone even more, "I guess Fan Yuanwai...... May not be able to read the accounts. ”

Fan Boshan nodded and said, exactly! The elder brother is doing business, and Tong Su is not deceived, but the bookkeeping and money, document inspection, etc., have always been done by the sister-in-law.

He said suddenly: "Sure enough, this involves a lot of secret transactions, and my brother is not at ease with outsiders, and I can't play without my sister-in-law and sister-in-law!" But where do you know that? ”

Gao Jun: Didn't my uncle just say that!

Chu Suiliang asked, "Gao Dudu, why don't you decide!! Where do we go to find this Wang Haijiao! In short, the sooner the better! ”

Gao Jun knew that Master Chu was in a hurry for business, so he asked people to take a map of Yuhang County.

He first found the location of the original Zixi Stream in Tianmu Mountain, and then went south from here for three hundred and fifty miles and five hundred miles, and drew two directions from east to west with his fingers, circled an area, and then asked Zheng County Order, "What counties and counties are there in this place, which is rich in crocodiles?" ”

Fan Boshan was stunned when he mentioned Wang Haijiao, but this did not escape Gao Jun's eyes. So in connection with the trade of Fan Bojiang's cooked crocodile skins during his lifetime, as well as his acquaintance with Wang Haijiao, the two are likely to have a stable supply and demand of raw crocodile skins.

Master Chu immediately said, "Ezhou is a Haizhou crocodile, rich and poor cannot be worn." "The place rich in Jiaoyu is Haizhou!

Ezhou's specialty cloth, the texture is dense and strong and wear-resistant, and it is mostly used by poor people to tailor. Haizhou is rich in crocodiles, and crocodile skins are used to make shoes, but only rich and noble families can afford to wear them.

"Haizhou? I...... How did I not know there was such a place?! Gao Jun asked.

Lord Chu said with a smile, "Finally, there is something that Gao doesn't know, Haizhou, in the fourth year of Wude, it was placed on the seaside of Yongjia County, and the bulk of the tribute was Jiaoge." But in the ninth year of Zhenguan, it was changed to Linhai County, Taizhou. ”
