"Who is it?" Fan Xuan asked in a deep voice.

"If I heard it correctly, and if I remember it correctly, the person who came was actually Zhou Chengyun's personal scholar, the one called Si Cha." Fan Ke replied that they had a clear understanding of the family backgrounds of these major salt merchants in Jinnan, and of course, they believed that Jinnan was no worse than them.

"Zhou Chengyun's personal scholar?" Fan Xuan said word by word, he immediately realized that this matter is not simple, since he is a personal scholar, he should be with Zhou Chengyun, since this person has arrived in Zhangjiakou, doesn't that mean...

"Why didn't you tell me then?" Fan Xuan complained.

"I want to tell you," Fan Ke was a little aggrieved, "but you were so busy that I couldn't find you until I got out." ”

Although this tea is Zhou Chengyun's personal scholar, it is not without a time when he acts alone, besides, they did not know about Fan Yongdou's death at that time, and Fan Ke did not pay attention to Zhou Chengyun's whereabouts.

"Forget it." Fan Xuan waved his hand, now was not the time to hold him accountable, and then asked, "How long has this Si Cha stayed in Zhangjiakou?" ”

Zhou Chengyun went north to Jinmen, there is no reason not to follow this tea, since he arrived in Zhangjiakou, then Zhou Chengyun may be disguised as one, or at least he is also close to Zuo.

It seems that Zhou Chengyun and his entourage arrived in Zhangjiakou after being blocked in Gyeonggi, but why didn't they turn back to Jinnan, but instead took the risk of coming to this place?

Fan Xuan believed that Fan Yongdou died, if Zhou Chengyun was not the mastermind, at least he was an accomplice, and he must have known, what made him come to Zhangjiakou at the risk of being discovered by himself and being retaliated against after his son's death and when his north was blocked from going north to Jinmen? After all, Zhou Chengyun must not be sure, and he can confirm that he didn't know anything about the water in Yanjia Village at that time.

Fan Xuan was a little irritable in his heart, feeling that the answer was about to come out, but there was always a clue that he couldn't grasp for a while.

Zhou Chengyun is a witty and decisive person, very business-minded, if it weren't for Zhou Chengyun's family to sacrifice the method of making manganese, he would have been annexed by him.

What's more, Zhou Chengyun stayed in the Zhangjiakou area for four months, and he didn't even know that he could stay for such a long time, it must be related to business, if this person found any way and made a big business this time, then Fan Xuan felt that he wanted to squeeze out the salt merchants in southern Jinnan and avenge Fan Yongdou.

"It's not a long time." Fan Ke replied, "I left before the Lantern Festival." ”

"Are you sure?" Fan Xuan asked, Sicha left before the Lantern Festival, but Zhou Chengyun was Jinnan who only turned back in April, so for nearly three months, where did the master and servant go?

Fan Xuan was stabbed in his back at this time, and he always felt that this Zhou Chengyun was like a poisonous snake hidden in the dark, and he would give him a fatal blow at any time.

"It's not been long, but I still remember it clearly, big brother." Fan Ke had to solemnly promise.

Fan Xuan lowered his head, walked back and forth in the study a few times, and suddenly looked up and asked, "What has that scholar done in the past few days, do you know?" ”

Fan Ke shook his head regretfully, those days the Fan family had to prepare for the New Year, but also like everyone else, preparing for the New Year, from top to bottom, everyone was very busy, and the eyeliner also had to celebrate the New Year, and people could send back the information of Sicha's arrival and departure, Fan Ke felt that it was very good.

Fan Xuan then went around in a circle, took a few steps, and asked again, "Is the big shopkeeper of the Hui Gang Cheng family in Zhangjiakou replaced?" The Hui gang he mentioned refers to the merchant group in Huizhou, southern Anhui, and the Cheng family is one of the leaders.

Fan Xuan knew that Zhou Chengyun had a very good relationship with the merchants in the Jiangnan area, whether he came in person or sent a scholar, nine times out of ten, he wanted to contact these merchants, but when he thought about it, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, the big shopkeeper of the Cheng family seemed to have changed after he came back from Liaodong on his first trip, but he was busy preparing for the second trip to Liaodong and didn't take it to heart.

The merchants in the entire south of the Yangtze River, including the Hui Gang, in Zhangjiakou, like the salt merchants in southern Jin, were suppressed by their eight grain merchants, and the development was not smooth, but they did not completely withdraw from Zhangjiakou, but set up a point here, silently waiting for the opportunity, with their strength, as long as they glimpsed the slightest opportunity, they could expand rapidly.

The big shopkeeper of the Cheng family of the Hui Gang, who has been in Zhangjiakou all these years, has been controlled by conditions, although he has not done anything great, but he is not at fault, how could he be replaced for no reason? Whether it is promoted or degraded by the Cheng family, it makes some sense.

You must know that changing the big shopkeeper from Jiangnan not only delays time on the road, but also after arriving in Zhangjiakou, you have to be familiar with your own plans internally, and you have to re-deal with all forces externally, which is really time-consuming and laborious.

This kind of thankless practice, how could the shrewd Cheng family do it?

Fan Ke thought for a while, "Well, it's a replacement." ”

"What about the Zhang family? and the Li family..."Fan Xuan asked several more in one breath, all of them were Hui Gang merchants, "Have they changed the big shopkeeper?" ”

Fan Ke's face changed, and as Fan Xuandi asked, one by one the big shopkeepers flashed in his mind, and he was finally surprised to find that the shops set up by these southern merchants in Zhangjiakou or the Chamber of Commerce had all changed.

Seeing that Fan Ke's face couldn't help changing, Fan Xuan sighed, he didn't need to ask to know what the answer was, the merchants in the entire Jiangnan area, the big shopkeeper in Zhangjiakou, all changed quietly.

It can be said that Fan Ke is not concerned about this matter and is responsible, but Fan Xuan knows that he has been staying in Zhangjiakou for the past month, and he didn't find out, so he was careless!

"When did this happen? Think about it. Fan Xuan asked.

Fan Ke raised his sleeves and wiped the fine sweat on his head, "It should be that not long after Zhou Chengyun's little servant left, these big shopkeepers disappeared, and they all thought that they were returning to their hometowns for the New Year, so they didn't pay attention to it. ”

Speaking of this, Fan Ke was indeed a little ashamed in his heart, it was normal to change one or two, but so many families had changed, he really should keep a snack and report it to Fan Xuan for decision.

"You... Confused! Fan Xuan pointed at Fan Ke with his finger, and then patted the table again, "I'm also old, so I didn't find out about these things early." ”

Fan Ke's throat was dry, and he picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of water, "Big brother, the matter has come to this, let's think about how to deal with it." ”

"It took so long to find out that there was no information at all, and it was difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and I couldn't think of a way to deal with it." Fan Xuan said.

"At least we know that these big shopkeepers who were replaced are related to Zhou Chengyun, presumably they are working together to do something."

"Do you still have to say that?" Fan Xuan glanced at Fan Ke angrily. To find this site, please search for "6 Mao" or enter the URL:.
