Li Xin was shocked, he really couldn't imagine how the silver stolen by the Mongols flowed into the city of Taiyuan, and his old nest actually had the possibility of being infiltrated by the Tartars. At this time, he couldn't help but wonder if the news that Lu Jiu had received from Jiexiu, that is, His Holiness Lobsang Gyaltsen, was also wrong. According to Jiexiu, this money was plundered by Fan Yongdou in conspiration with the Mongols, and in the end, he had to bribe Zhang Sizhi, a cabinet scholar, in full.

But if Zhang Sizhi got this money, he would definitely not use it for lending, as far as he was concerned, whether it was land purchase or investment in salt and iron trading, it would be safer and faster than lending money. So this point is unreasonable, then there is another possibility that Jiexiu lied, and after the silver money was transported into the side wall, it came to Taiyuan through various unknown channels.

The above two speculations are not supported by evidence, and both may or may not be right, but at least Li Xin does not dare to slack off, that is, the forces related to Jiannu have indeed infiltrated Taiyuan City, and this strike may be more severe than previously thought. If this matter really involves the Jiannu Tartars, then the death of the lender is to silence for the sake of secrecy, and it is not surprising at all. But are there other secrets behind the lenders? Is this amount of money just for lending? The answer is clearly no.

"Cow eggs, cow eggs!"

Li Xin finally relented, and now it is pointless to speculate that this is meaningless, and it is only right to find a way to deal with the current situation. He originally wanted to order someone to raid the lender's house, but after calming down, he felt that it was not suitable to startle the snake now, it was better to put a long-term line to make a big fish, according to what Lu Sizhen said, there was still a large amount of silver in his mansion, so the person who knew the whereabouts of the silver money must also be inseparable from the black hand behind the silver, as long as he couldn't control the covetousness and did it, then he could know that there was anyone in the city who might have taken refuge in Jiannu.

Niu Dan strode in from outside, "The general called me?" ”

"Hmm!" Li Xin saw that the cow egg was coming, and his heart moved, it is not necessarily a bad thing to startle the snake, if it can make those people hidden in Taiyuan City have a sense of crisis, the people behind the scenes will inevitably be in a hurry to transport this silver away, then as long as these people move, he can follow the map, follow the vine, and wipe out these unstable factors.

"Take someone, go around the lender's house, remember, you are not allowed to touch anything, and you are not allowed to take anything!"

Niu Dan was very strange to Li Xin's order, but he was no longer the Niu Dan who was often bullied by Zhou Mazi, he knew what to ask and what not to ask, since the general had an order, then it would be thoroughly implemented!

Niu Dan gave the unique military salute of the Three Guards, put his legs together, raised his hands above his head, and promised loudly in his mouth, and then beat him again. Li Xin also wondered, the growth rate of this cow egg is too fast, and it has only taken half a year from the stunned youth to the current knowledge. In other words, it was only after the last time the Mongol Tatars entered the Kouxuan Mansion that their temperament changed greatly.

On the long street, Niu Dan was surprised to find that there were many fewer pedestrians than in the morning, why is this? But he didn't have time to think about it, and now his mind was full of tasks assigned to him by the general. As soon as he arrived at the door of the lender's house, he saw a group of officials around him, and he carefully identified them as people from the political envoy and the yamen.

In Niu Dan's eyes, except for the Three Guards in the entire Taiyuan City, he didn't put any strength in his eyes, and the one hundred and ten poor people of the political envoy Si Yamen could afford to set off what kind of wind Lang? Besides, the two groups of them should be well water and not river water this time, so naturally they can't rush to find it.

Who knows, Niu Dan didn't plan to find trouble, and the other party had already opened up and was ready to find trouble with him.

"The political envoys are on business, and the idle people are standing back, standing back, all of them are standing back!"

Seeing that Niu Dan was coming with more than 20 gendarmes, he sent people to rely on the strength of the crowd, so he scolded them to retreat. How can Niu Dan listen to the scolding of a few bad people, he now represents the General Military Mansion, if he is scared away by a few bad people, he will lose the face of the general, not just his face.

"The gendarmerie enforces the law, who will stop it?"

When the leader heard the word gendarmerie, he instinctively shrank his neck, but as soon as he saw the hundred and ten brothers behind him, he was immediately full of confidence, he had as many as one hundred and ten people, and the other party was only twenty or so people, even if three were more than one. Confidence was multiplied, so he let go of the scoundrel.

"What kind of soldiers, rope soldiers? The old men didn't hear it, and those who knew each other immediately retreated. As he spoke, he gestured in his hands, pushing the cow eggs very roughly.

Niu Dan is no longer the Niu Dan who pulled his nose in Chaoyang Fort and let Zhou Mazi bully at will, after dozens of battles in Shanxi, he has been reborn, how can he get closer? Seeing that the other party was the first to make a mistake, he gave an order, and in the blink of an eye, more than 20 people beat the 100 poor people of the political envoy all over the ground.

The other party is the master who bullies the weak and fears the hard, and when he sees that the opponent's combat power is too strong and is not an opponent at all, he all fled. The cow egg spat on the ground with disdain, splashing a small cloud of dust.

"Let's go, let's get in!"

After the lender committed suicide, his family had already become a frightened bird, and the people who came to find trouble were far more than the government, and he offended too many people when he was alive in the past few years, and it was strange that people died and did not find his family to be angry, and in the eyes of the world, this is also karma, and it has been tried and tested.

Niu Dan only walked back and forth in the courtyard a few times according to Li Xin's request, but who knew that he suddenly heard a shouting outside, and when he went out, he couldn't help but gasp, it was those who sent people back with a hundred and ten guards.

The leader of the poor man was extremely arrogant, as if he had never been wolf before, and pointed at Niu Dan and the others with a strong aura, and said sharply: "It's them, it's them, lawbreakers, disturb the public security in Taiyuan, take them down!" ”

The majestic Dama Golden Knife of the Hundred Households of the Guard House went straight to the door, but when he looked at the person in front of him, his legs and stomach cramped uncontrollably, and he stood unsteadily, and threw himself to the ground, and fell to the ground with a very wolf bèi, but he raised his head and bared his teeth and smiled: "Cow, Niu Ye is here, small, the villain is not, didn't scare Niu Ye, right?" ”

Seeing that the hundred households behaved like this, the leader had the urge to vomit blood, is this the rescuer who moved back by himself? It's so unbearable! Immediately, his heart was empty again, and his powerful aura disappeared abruptly, and a pair of eyes were rolling around, and he was already planning to slip away.

After listening to Niu Dan's report, Li Xin fell into contemplation again, Liu Lingyu, the political envoy of Shanxi, was actually involved, did he unintentionally mix it in, or did he deliberately do it? This is difficult to judge, but this person is always friend or foe, and he needs to be cautious and not careless.

Li Xin thought that it was necessary to talk to Gao Shiming about this matter, he knew that Gao was a direct guide to Zhu Youzhen, the son of the Great Tomorrow, so he should give him an advance measure first, and if there was a change at that time, it would be better to deal with it in advance. Although Gao Shiming wears the same pants as the trading company and him, he is very low-key on weekdays, almost never shows up, and almost never expresses any opinions on the military and political affairs of Taiyuan.

Of course, this is also different from Gao Shiming, who Li Xin is familiar with, he doesn't know why even the eunuchs who are extremely controlling and jealous have become like self-cultivation hermits, almost without desire.

Gao Shiming was taken aback after hearing Li Xin's statement, and immediately wanted to secretly tell the emperor about this matter, and the silver that Jiannu snatched appeared in Taiyuan, and then there were too many hidden secrets on behalf of him, could it be that Jiannu's minions had already penetrated into Taiyuan City? But he soon realized that the silver belonged to the trading company, and he could not see it at all, let alone tell the emperor.

"This, this, our family has always believed that General Li is capable of keeping the Tartars out, how did he come to Taiyuan City?" As he spoke, he turned to a low voice and asked, "How much silver is found in the city?" Is it to join our trading company, or is it divided? ”

Li Xin did not answer, but said again and again that the Lu family, Liu Lingyu, and even the King of Jin in the city might be involved, and what was more strange was that the King of Jin actually sent someone to buy the grain sold by the trading company. Before Gao Shiming could react, Master Guo came again in a hurry.

As soon as he saw his virtue, Li Xin knew that there must be no good thing.

"It's really a big deal this time, the trading company's rice and noodles have run out! Tomorrow, the twenty-three shops in the city will not be able to sell food! ”

Gao Shiming is not an outsider, so neither Master Guo nor Li Xin avoids him.

"Isn't there still military rations?"

"Far water can't quench the thirst of the near, besides, how can the military rations be moved lightly? Has the general forgotten that the wheat harvest is approaching in June, and there will be at least two months of green and yellow harvest, Taiyuan Mansion, Pingyang Mansion, Fenzhou, Liaozhou, Qinzhou and Datong Mansion, millions of people are waiting for food, how can they all give Taiyuan City this land, let those black-hearted businessmen hoard and live strangely? ”

When Master Guo mentioned the impending famine, Li Xin couldn't help but sweat coldly, and suddenly remembered the layout of Huang Taiji. He then banished the thought from his head, and the chances of that happening were slim to none.

"There is a saying in our family that has been held back for a long time, to deal with that kind of profiteer and bully, why make him timid, and directly send troops to destroy him, who dares to say half a word?"

The reason why Li Xin didn't do this was because he didn't want to make a bad start, otherwise the safety of the businessman would not be guaranteed, and if he was deprived of his property, he would be deprived, and he would no longer have to pass himself on as a greedy and brutal martial artist in the world? At that time, who dares to come to Shanxi to do business, even if he wants to clean up the lawlessness, he will have to stand on the moral point of view and stand on the kilometer to clean it up in a dignified manner.

"Alas! I know that you won't listen to what you say, so let's just treat it as if we didn't say it. Our family is also lacking, there is nothing else, our family plans to take a nap for a while......"

It was as if the strike in the city, the possible infiltration of Jiannu, and the impending famine had nothing to do with him.
