In the case of the theft of Caoyin, Qin Lin set a strategy of overt investigation and covert visits, and deployed it in two ways:

On the bright side, Huang Gonggong, the deputy envoy of the Qin Mission, and Huo Chonglou, the secretary of the Dongchang Factory, took an official ship and went to Yangzhou with great fanfare, and contacted the governor of Caoyun, the chief military officer of Caoyun, the prefect of Yangzhou and other officials to learn more about the situation grasped by the local officials; Taking advantage of the fact that Huang and Huo attracted most of the attention, they secretly investigated in the streets and alleys, Caoyun Wharf and boatmen, and according to the local official situation, there was contact with the surname and the three religions and nine streams to find clues to solve the case; Han Feilian ran back and forth between the two people as a contact person, delivering messages.

The deployment has been decided, and everyone admires Qin Lin's meticulous thinking, proper command, and compliance with orders.

Just when Qin Lin was preparing for various matters, Zhang Zixuan suddenly proposed to go to Yangzhou together -- the theft of Caoyin not only caused a crisis in the imperial court's finances in reality, but also became a target for the opposition to attack a whip law.

As Zhang Juzheng's only daughter, Zhang Zixuan is very aware of her father's ambitions, and she also knows the depth of the Ming Dynasty.

Qin Lin is still young, and she is not as familiar with the Ming Dynasty Bureau, the power structure of local officials, and even Cao Yun itself.

But this guy will never be half honest, but will be silent for a long time, making an extremely embarrassed appearance.

Zhang Zixuan raised her eyebrows as she flew into her sideburns: "What, Brother Qin doesn't want to be in the same boat with my little sister?" ”

Qin Lin turned his face: "How can this be?" How can men and women go in the same boat if they don't kiss each other? Hmph, if Yuanfu Young Master Zhang Taiyue misunderstands a little and arrests me and forces me to be a son-in-law, don't regret it. ”

Zhang Zixuan was still curious at first how Qin Lin suddenly became Mr. Daoxue, but only then did she understand that he was joking, her white teeth gently bit her lip, and her face was slightly red: "The two elder brothers of the little sister are both friends in Yangzhou with literature, and it can be said that they are going to join their brothers, and it will not damage Brother Qin's reputation." ”

Qin Lin smiled: "Qingyu can't be talked about, that's Wang Bengu and Liu Huzhi's play; As for me, there is still some turbidity. ”

Turbidity? Zhang Zixuan couldn't help laughing, this word was really fresh, and it was also thanks to Qin Lin who said it.

Lu Fatzi and Han Feilian squeezed their eyebrows and laughed beside them: Our Chief Qin, the peach blossom luck is really prosperous!

You Kidnapper's heartbeat is like a drum, he also vaguely knew that Qin Lin had something to do with Xu Xinyi and Zhang Zixuan in the past, Xu Xinyi was just joking a little, Zhang Zixuan was a person like sheep fat jade, and he was the daughter of the prime minister's house with a strict family education, so he couldn't help but be a little unbelievable.

But today, it is more than the rumors, and the relationship between the two is very close!

You kidnappers can't help but be glad that they are with the right person, Qin Lin is talented, and Zhang Juzheng is the Olympic aid, are you afraid that you will not fly Huang Tengda in the future? Follow him casually, and it will be enough to get promoted and make a fortune.

Secret investigation needs to hide their identities, although the abductors are old oilers who are swaying around in the market, and Lu Yuanzhi also has the ability to be familiar with them, but they are not from Yangzhou, in what way do they integrate into the local market and carry out investigations?

Qin Lin was not in a hurry, and said a person's name: Jia Fugui.

Jia Fugui is the owner of the Tanbai boat who once sent Qin Lin and others from Qizhou to Nanjing, he sailed in the Yangtze River, arrived in Zigui, Hubei, and went down to Baishuiyang, the mouth of the Yangtze River, and was very familiar with him, so it was much more convenient for him to cooperate and pretend to be a businessman, and it would be much more convenient to go to Yangzhou.

But is Jia Fugui willing to take the risk to help? Zhang Zixuan couldn't help but be a little suspicious: "Brother Qin, although these businessmen can't all be dismissed as forgetting their righteousness for profit, but they are chasing profits, only have money in their hearts, and they don't have the slightest loyalty to the imperial court, so it's probably not easy for him to take risks and do things for us." ”

Qin Lin smiled: "Mountain people have their own clever plans. ”

Jia Fugui lived in Huapaifang Street in Nanjing, and the group found him and asked him to help cooperate, pretending to be a businessman to go to Yangzhou to investigate the case.

Sure enough, Jia Fugui held a pair of white and chubby hands and shook them wildly, looking as if he had seen a living ghost: "I can't do it, this terrible villain really can't do it, I beg Chief Qin to entrust the errand to someone else for the sake of being in the same boat!" ”

Saying that, he also asked the little servant to come out with a hundred taels of silver, and a smirk was piled up on his face, saying that he wanted to congratulate Qin Lin on his promotion to a deputy thousand households, and put on a clear posture of giving up his wealth to avoid disasters.

Zhang Zixuan was disappointed, she knew that these businessmen were unwilling to serve the court, but now she couldn't help but be angry when she saw Jia Fugui's slick and deceitful appearance.

"Alas, there was originally a set of great wealth to be given to Brother Jia, and when the time came, the 'fake wealth' would become 'real wealth', but I didn't expect Brother Jia to take the official's kindness as a bad intention......" Qin Lin sighed and pulled Zhang Zixuan, "Let's go, this transaction Jia doesn't do it, there are a lot of people waiting to do it." ”

Great wealth, buying and selling? Hearing these words, Zhang Zixuan was puzzled, but Jia Fugui was suddenly whetted by his appetite, and after thinking for a while, he hurriedly caught up, and asked with a smile on his face.

"Originally, who wants to help, after the matter is completed, the official will lend him the official title lantern of the deputy Qianhu of Jinyi Wei to play for a few years, and even call Miss Zhang to Mingyuan Auxiliary Young Master Mr. Zhang, and it is not difficult to ask for a license for the sea trade. Because of a little friendship, I came to Brother Jia first, but I didn't expect a set of great wealth to be pushed out of the door by Brother Jia......" Qin Lin shook his head and sighed as he walked.

Jia Fugui was surprised and delighted when he heard this, and his mung bean-sized eyes lit up like light bulbs.

What is surprising is that although Qin Lin did not say what case he was going to handle, but wasn't the shocking case of the theft of 500,000 silver in Yangzhou recently?

The good thing is that this ticket is done, and in the future, his ship can casually hit the official title lantern of Jinyi Wei Deputy Qianhu, and the tax can be evaded at will, and the routine is exempted at will, and he will definitely make a lot of money.

Syllable! Jia Fugui slapped himself in the face, and immediately made five red fingerprints: "The small one is not a thing, the little bastard bastard doesn't know the hearts of good people, Chief Qin, please come here, make tea, make good tea!" ”

Qin Lin wanted to investigate the case, Jia Fugui wanted to make money, they hit it off, and soon reached an agreement, and after a while, the room resounded with the laughter of the two of them.

In Zhang Zixuan's opinion, Qin Lin at this moment has completely become an old and cunning businessman, a guy like Jia Fugui, even if he uses Dongchang to intimidate him, he may not be willing to work hard, but now that there are interests to lure, he is really determined to contribute to the case.

With a small mouth, Zhang Zixuan thought thoughtfully: If Liu Yiru, Wang Bengu, and Geng came to persuade Jia Fugui to those clear streams, after being rejected, they decided to drop their bookbags and talk about the truth of "the shore of the land is not the king's minister" and "eating hair and practicing the land to be loyal to the king", and then Jia Fugui didn't agree, so it turned into a big scold of "no king and no father", "disloyal and unjust", and finally broke up, and the fart couldn't be done!

However, Qin Lin lured him with profit, and Jia Fugui willingly contributed and died, and the effect was completely different.

Zhang Zixuan is very familiar with the pattern of the imperial court and the politics of the Ming Dynasty, but she has never dealt with people in the market, and she is a little worse than Qin Lin in the hearts of the world.

When she left Jia's house, she couldn't help but ask, "Brother Qin, how do you know that someone Jia will definitely agree?" Doing things for us, if you succeed, you can really make money, but the risk of failure is also very high, and you will even die. ”

Qin Lin touched his chin and said incomprehensibly: "Capitalists will take risks if they have 50% profits, dare to trample on all the laws in the world if they have 100% profits, and dare to risk going to the gallows with 300% profits." ”

Zhang Zixuan tasted this sentence and thought about it carefully: Zi, "Saying Wen Jie Zi" is also a product; The capital of the original, the Hanyu language "the son is the same"; Family, in ancient times, there were hundreds of schools of law, Confucianism, yin and yang, vertical and horizontal families, and Qin Lin called the profit-seekers capitalists, but they were also ingenious and led the first time.

~~~ This time, Jia Fugui's white boat hung the lantern of Ying Tianfu Yin's official title -- Zhang Zixuan came forward to secretly borrow it from Wang Shizhen, and carried some native products from Nanjing to Yangzhou, saying that it was going to go through the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and sell the goods to Hebei.

Qin Lin and his entourage dressed as a merchant who accompanied the ship, Qin Lin took the pseudonym Mr. Lin from Qizhou, and took Jia Fugui's downwind boat to Yangzhou to do raw silk business, Lu Fatzi was born rich, pretending to be a doorman, Niu Dali was burly, and he was the bodyguard of the hospital.

Lu Fatzi's stomach is about to laugh and hurt, the only daughter of Mr. Zhang, the young master of Yuanfu, is a big girl in the room, and our Chief Qin is too good, right? How big is the official position? Even if the prince and the prince are not so strong, if they go up, we don't dare to talk nonsense...... Everyone went down the river by boat, riding the wind and waves faster than the galloping horse, and after Guabu and Yizheng, they arrived in Yangzhou soon.

Sure enough, the situation is very different from the past, here the patrol ships on the river are weaving back and forth, and the soldiers of the Yangtze River Naval Division are all wearing helmets and armor, swords out of sheaths, bows on the wind, as if facing a great enemy.

The ships going from the upstream to Yangzhou were not strictly inspected, but the ships coming out of Yangzhou were inspected very carefully, that is, the large ships full of grain and the salt ships, and the soldiers also took thin iron drills and inserted the grain everywhere, apparently looking for the stolen silver.

"Hey, boat over there, stop and check!" Someone shouted loudly.
