Chapter 104: Smuggling
Although He Huan felt that the location of the fire was close to the Lin family, but the Lin family had many servants, and the possibility of a fire was extremely small, plus the Han family and Lin Nuoyan were both in Qingsongguan, she didn't care, but ordered Uncle Zhang to inquire about the situation on the street, and she asked He Baihai and his wife to follow her back to the living room.
According to He Bohai, Shui Ting was bent on going to the Wa Kingdom to live a new life, so he became acquainted with a Wa merchant and would sell a lot of cloth for him every year. Speaking of this, he emphasized to He Huan: "Don't think that we specialize in illegal things. It was your aunt and grandmother who were sorry for us first, and I teamed up with outsiders to deceive her. I sold the cloth to the Wa Kingdom, it was a serious business, and there were customs documents! ”
Listening to He Baihai's words, He Huan didn't say anything, but just asked him: "Since there are ships to the Wa Kingdom every year to transport cloth, and Shui Ting keeps saying that she will go to the Wa Kingdom to start over, why doesn't she leave with the ship?" ”
He Bohai's voice choked suddenly. It's not that he hasn't thought about this question at all, but on one side is the silver of the white flower, and on the other side is the empathetic interpretation of the flower, and he doesn't want to delve into it at all. At this moment, He Huan picked up the facts nakedly, and while he was annoyed and angry, he could only stare at her with a calm face, and said weakly: "I only know the truth, I am doing a serious business." ”
He Huan didn't want to argue with him, so he only said: "No matter what kind of business, tomorrow I ask the third uncle to go to those merchants in the name of chasing fugitive slaves......
"Now is not the time to do business, how can they be in Jizhou?" He Baihai skimmed his face. He is He Huan's third uncle, but at this moment, he feels that she is the elder.
Zou interjected on the side: "Listen to what you mean, what they transported away is not our cloth at all, so what is it?" ”
"I don't know what to do." He Huan said so. I can't help but wonder in my heart. This is a conspiracy between Feng Jiyang and Shui Ting. The property brought out by the former prince from Beijing was sold to the Wa Kingdom in batches.
She heard Shen Jinglun say that whether it was Nanyang or the Wa Kingdom, the royal princes and nobles over there liked their jade antiques very much. Many of the things of the first prince were tribute, or had royal seals, and it was difficult to find suitable buyers in Middle-earth, but when they arrived in a foreign country. On the contrary, it can be sold at a sky-high price. I'm afraid that the things that were burned by Feng Jiyang before are likely to be the smuggled goods that Ji Lu planned to transport out of Lu this year.
Thinking of this, He Huan only felt palpitations, and also understood the meaning of Shui Ting's existence, which was to control He Baihai to assist her in smuggling. Fortunately, there have been no accidents over the years, otherwise, the real He Huan would have become a prisoner long ago.
Now, He Bohai is also annoyed, hateful and regretful, and he stood up. Constantly pacing back and forth in the room. It's one thing for him to hate Wei, but to be teased like a monkey by Shui Ting. It's another thing again.
Zou was even more resentful of her husband, and said impatiently: "Don't dangle around, make me dazzled!" ”
He Baihai stopped, glared at Zou and shouted: "You are complaining about me now, I think you were also in favor of it at the beginning, you are very happy to see the silver of the white flowers, you are ......very happy."
"I was counting on you to earn money to support your family, but I didn't let you harm the whole family."
Hearing this, He Baihai opened his mouth and wanted to scold, He Huan hurriedly separated the two and said in a deep voice: "One of you has to say a word, and now that the matter is over, you still have to think about what to do in the future." ”
"What can I do!" He Baihai hummed.
He Huan lowered his head and sighed. Over the years, everyone has called He Baihai the "third master", but He Huan finally saw it clearly, even if he hated Wei, he was raised by her, and when he was a child, he had a biological mother who was full of resentment towards Wei. In his bones, he is the same as Wei, he is a villain who is greedy for money and profits, otherwise he would not be bewitched and used by Feng Jiyang and He Daxu.
He Huan secretly took a deep breath, and Zhengse said: "Although it is impossible for us to track down what exactly is transported to the Wa Kingdom every year, but those few people who have business dealings with the third uncle, we must always pay attention to whether they appear in Jizhou." In addition, and most importantly, Shui Ting escaped on the surface, but this time her purpose was not achieved, and we can't be sure that she will not have a follow-up ......"
"What's the trick? Will she still run back to testify against your third uncle? Zou looked at He Huan eagerly.
He Huan shook his head and replied slowly: "I don't know Lu Dao, I only know Lu Dao, above the court, Feng Jiyang deliberately hit the knife edge of Xie Zhutou, and the death of He Daxu and others was very tragic." These people are all bandits who are not afraid of death, and I wonder if Shui Ting will drag his third uncle to live and die together. ”
Zou's face turned white in fright, and He Baihai did not speak. Shui Ting, who is gentle and lovely in his eyes on weekdays, only feels that she is like a poisonous snake at this moment.
After a long time, He Baihai sat back on the chair in a distraction and whispered: "What kind of person is it, who has a deep hatred with our family, and wants to harm us like this!" ”
He Huan also wanted to know who the person behind Feng Jiyang was. On the surface, Xie San's suspicions seem to be justified, after all, Shen Jinglun is a direct participant in the case of the deposed crown prince, and he and Feng Jiyang probably knew each other more than ten years ago, but she and Shen Jinglun have shared the same bed for more than a year, and she believes that he will never be involved in these dirty things. Now, with so many facts slowly emerging, she worries about whether he will be innocently implicated.
He Huan sighed again, raised his head and said, "Third uncle, third aunt, no matter what happened before, now everyone is sitting in the same boat, and they have to work together to get through the difficulties, don't you say?" ”
Although He Bohai did not want to be instigated by his juniors, but now, they can only "agree together" to discuss countermeasures.
The three of them waited until midnight before He Baihai and Zou left. He Huan was sitting alone in the house, recalling He Baihai and his wife's description of Shui Ting, when he suddenly heard Bai Shao say to Aunt Zhang: "Is it really arson?" Speaking of which, the second master of the Lin family can be regarded as a bad year......"
As soon as He Huan heard this, he walked out of the house and asked urgently: "Is it that Second Master Lin's house was set on fire?" Why didn't you tell me earlier? ”
Bai Shao nodded and said, "The fire dragon team has already put out the fire, no one was injured, and the slave maid thought that this was not a big deal......
"You think, you think! Didn't I tell you that I don't need your 'you think'? He Huan turned around and walked out, but before she reached the second door, she stopped. Who is she now, how can she have a position to go to the Lin family? Even if she was Lin Xiyan, Lin Guqing might not necessarily listen to her.
Early the next morning, just as He Huan finally decided to go to the Lin family, Lin Guqing had already gone to the Shen family in the morning light.
On the other hand, Shen Jinglun was disturbed by Xie San's fact that it was probably Xie Chun'an, and tossed and turned all night. Because Shen Zhihua was seriously injured, no one dared to knock on Shen Jinglun's door in the middle of the night and tell him about the Lin family's water, so it was not until Lin Guqing came to the door that he learned that Lin Guqing's private small warehouse was deliberately burned down. (To be continued......)
