Chapter 21 will be difficult to reconcile

Ye Xiaotian listened to the words of the king master, suddenly raised his head, glanced out the window, looked thoughtful, and said, "Yes!" It's already this hour, if it's a qiΔ“ shun lΓ¬, then your king will really win. ”

Master Wang's cheeks twitched twice suddenly, and a chess piece that he had just picked up in his hand almost fell back onto the chessboard, he grabbed the chess piece, slowly raised his head, stared at Ye Xiaotian, and said with a smile: "What is a qiΔ“shun lΓ¬?" Could it be that Lord Ye still has any killer features? ”

Ye Xiaotian looked down at the chessboard, as if thinking about how to counterattack, and replied: "At night, the official sent someone to arrest Chen Muyan, and as soon as it was dawn, Hu Qifeng fled, how did he know who he arrested last night, and how did he know what the crime was?" Just because he's too alert? ”

Ye Xiaotian shook his head and said, "Hu Qifeng has a house in Huxian, and his concubine is already pregnant, so he ignored it. Well, those who become big things are not informal, and Liu Bang pushed his relatives out of the car repeatedly and repeatedly on the way to escape, which is nothing. However, since he didn't even want women and children in order to save his life, it was a little incomprehensible that such a panicked person still had the leisure to burn account books. ”

Ye Xiaotian slowly raised his head, glanced at the Wang master book with a smile, and said slowly: "He has been exposed, what account books are you burning?" Unless, the book will also involve someone who has not yet been exposed, and he needs to protect that person, or...... The people who secretly warned him and told him to flee specially told him to destroy the account books that implicated others. Wang Zhushu, don't you say? ”

The look of horror in the eyes of the king master book flashed for a moment, he smiled calmly, stroked his beard and said, "Oh? I didn't expect Lord Ye to have such a present! ”

Ye Xiaotian said: "What the county magistrate cares about is whether Hu Qifeng has been caught, and he doesn't care about anything else." I was too talkative and asked Su Zhutou a few words, only then did I know that there was a pile of burnt ashes in the brazier in the Hu family's study. And he also found a page of the account book that had not yet burned out. ”

Ye Xiaotian said, and took out a piece of paper from his sleeve that burned most of it, and the edge was blackened, and as soon as his fingers were loosened, the piece of paper spun around and fell towards the chessboard.

Ye Xiaotian said: "I, Ye Xiaotian, like to do everything twice." From Sun Rui and Shi Jin's confessions, we know that the private goods received by Chang's Carriage and Horse Shop were all handed over to the Hu Merchant Bank to be sold to the Central Plains, so I had a little more mind and checked when this Hu Merchant House appeared in Huxian County.

As a result, my current Hu firm has only appeared in the past two years. In the era of Chang's Carriage and Horse Shop or Qi's Carriage and Horse Dealership, who did they do business with? So I asked someone again, and it turned out that before the Hu Firm, the one who traded with the Qi Carriage and Horse Firm most frequently was the Lu Firm, and their owner was called LΓΌ Mo. ”

As soon as this name came out, the eyes of the king master shrank suddenly.

Ye Xiaotian said: "I'll check this Lu family firm again, it's terrible." When our Huxian County was not yet established, it was still called Huling, and the two Tusi masters were still in charge, and at that time, Lu's Commercial Bank was the old customer of Huxian. This one comes. There are some things that Ye doesn't understand. ”

Master Wang smiled slightly, the wrinkles on his face seemed to be engraved with a sharp knife, the texture was unusually clear, and his eyes narrowed slightly. The gaze that appeared in the slit of his eyes was cold and sharp: "Oh? What doesn't Lord Ye understand? ”

Ye Xiaotian said: "I think it's strange, Lu's firm has been based in Huxian County many years ago, why didn't you think about finding a backer?" Even if he's a serious dealer. There is an official behind his back, which is also convenient for him to do business. What's more, since he has a close relationship with Qi Mu, it is likely that he has some ulterior secrets, so he is not afraid of problems in the business house? ”

Master Wang smiled and said: "Lord Ye's words are wrong, how do you know that the Lu family has no backers?" Since he is doing business with Qi Mu, of course he is looking for Meng Qingwei if he wants to find a backer, isn't this normal? ”

Ye Xiaotian nodded and said, "It's indeed normal." However, after Meng Qingwei's death, the Lu family firm did not take refuge in Xu Boyi, nor did he take refuge in the Wang master's book, and he never came to the door here, as if he was afraid that people would notice him, and he couldn't be low-key anymore, which was a bit abnormal. ”

Master Wang couldn't help but laugh and said, "Lord Ye, you are too suspicious." ”

Ye Xiaotian smiled and said, "What's wrong with being suspicious? Zhuge was only cautious all his life, and Cao Cao Sima was suspicious. As a result, it was Cao Mengde and Sima Yi who achieved hegemony. ”

Master Wang said indifferently: "So, what does Lord Ye suspect from the abnormality of the Lu family's firm?" ”

Ye Xiaotian shook his head and said, "What else can I guess, of course I found nothing." However, there is an old saying that if you have the intention to plant flowers and flowers, you will not live, and you will not have the intention to plant willows and willows. There is really a certain amount of truth, and when I investigated this Lu family firm, I found some very interesting things. ”

Wang Zhushu looked at Ye Xiaotian with a smile, and when he continued, the chess piece was gently flipped between the fingers of Wang Zhushu, the old hand of Wang Zhushu was already shriveled and fleshless, but the fingers were extremely flexible, and the chess pieces flew up and down between his fingers, but they would not fall.

Ye Xiaotian said: "I heard that the reason why this Lu Mo was able to gain a foothold in Huling was because he had a close relationship with the two Tusi masters at that time. It is also strange to say that the two toast masters are incompatible with each other, but they can have a good relationship with Lu Dongzhu. Isn't it strange that Lu Dongzhu was able to maneuver between them with ease, which shows his ability, such a long-sleeved person who is good at dancing has not been unknown since then? ”

Wang Zhushu's eyelids drooped slightly, and he said lightly: "People's thoughts will always change, maybe one day, he suddenly had an epiphany, and he will no longer strive for fame for profit, but it is not impossible." ”

Ye Xiaotian smiled slightly, did not reason with him about this topic, but continued: "At this time, I suddenly remembered another thing, something that seemed to have nothing to do with Lu Mo on the surface. It was still a drought in Huxian County, and I went to the two villages of Gaoli to mediate, and when I had a drink with the two village owners, I listened to a story they told.

When the two Tusi lords were still the lords of Huxian, the two village lords of Gao Li were their subordinates, so they knew a little about their affairs. According to Gao Li's two village masters, at that time, the king was a Huling person, and he became a guest of the two toasts with a cloth cloth, and the scenery was very good! It is said that Wang Zhushu is the most familiar with the local officials, and he has a good relationship with the local Yi and Miao people, so it should have started at that time, right? ”

The corners of the king's eyes jumped. But the laughter is silent.

Ye Xiaotian frowned slightly, and said, "Ye felt very strange when he thought of this. Lu Mo is a businessman, and he can make friends with the two toasts, perhaps because he can bring benefits to the two toasts in business, so Wang Zhushu was just a poor scholar at the beginning, how could He De become the guest of the two arrogant toast masters?

Coincidentally, Ye also heard the two village owners mention that the so-called two toasts fought because of a piece of land, and even ignored the warnings of the imperial court. In fact, it is just a pretense, in fact, the two are not fighting for a piece of land at all, but a financial road.

Is that land worth a lot? It's just a piece of new land formed by the alluvial water of the river, and the two Tusi masters rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and they don't focus on farming, how can they do it brazenly for a piece of land, let alone still refuse to give up when the court comes forward to stop it. Unless...... How big is it to make them do things that are irrational? ”

Ye Xiaotian shook his head and sighed. said: "Huxian is poor and bad, what big money can they have to fight?" It's a pity that the two village owners of Gao and Li don't know either, so I just listened to it and didn't delve into it. But this time. Let me connect two things that are not related to each other at once.

Qi Mu suddenly rose after the two toast masters were discredited, so before him, were there people selling smuggling and prohibiting them, if there were people doing the same thing at that time. Who are they? Will...... Is it Lu Mo, the two toast masters, and your king's book? ”

The chess piece that was flipped and jumped between the fingers of the king master book suddenly stopped, and was tightly held by the two thin fingers of the king master book.

Ye Xiaotian smiled slightly. Said: "Perhaps, it is because of the uneven distribution of the spoils between the two toast masters, or maybe it is because one of the toasts wants to monopolize this financial road, in short, the two toast masters are obsessed with money and steal, and they are fighting, and the court takes the opportunity to intervene, and the result is that the two toast families are ruined, and Huling is changed to the land."

Maybe because of this incident, you became cautious, and you didn't dare to show your head like before, so Lu Mo retreated behind Hu Qifeng. You also retreated behind Chen Muyan and supported them, you may not even have to come forward in person, just take advantage of the situation, it is enough to let them be used by you. ”

"Smack!"

The chess pieces in the hands of the king master book fell on the chessboard, and the king master book applauded lightly: "Gao Ming! It's really brilliant! The old man thought that he had already looked down on you very highly, but he couldn't think of it or looked down on you, hehe, these are all guesses you have based on some clues? ”

Ye Xiaotian shook his head and said: "Of course, the inference was not so complete at the beginning, such as the reason why the two toasts fought hard, such as whether your Wang Zhuji and Lu Mo became cautious because of this matter, and since then they have retreated into the background, Ye Mou can't guess it at once."

I just suspected that you, Lu Mo, and the two old toast masters were the smugglers before Qi Mu, so I began to pay attention to you, and monitored your and Lu Mo's every move, and only deduced it after I really got the evidence that you were involved. ”

Master Wang smiled bitterly: "The future life is terrifying!" The afterlife is terrifying! ”

Ye Xiaotian said: "At the beginning, Qi Mu was able to dominate Huxian Post Road and collude with Meng Qingwei, it should be you who secretly created an opportunity for them, right?" The person Sun Rui said took the initiative to find Qi Mu and discuss with him to cooperate in smuggling was sent by you, right? ”

Master Wang's eyes flickered, but he still smiled and didn't answer.

Ye Xiaotian sighed and said: "It's a pity, when the two Tusi were merged, you couldn't mediate the two of them, otherwise the court would have no excuse to intervene, this is still the world of Tusi, although your Lord Wang can't be the master book, but it is still prosperous, and there is no need to be cautious and retreat into the background." ”

The king also sighed, and said regretfully: "It's a pity that the princes of the court are still in a hurry, if they can wait patiently for a while, the war may not only be in Huling, then what is the court to take is not just a Huxian County?" ”

Ye Xiaotian laughed very much and said: "In this way, your Lord Wang is painstakingly lonely, lying on his salary and tasting courage, but he is dedicated to the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Master Wang smiled slightly, and then asked, "You have already sent someone to keep an eye on Chen Muyan's coffin?" ”

Ye Xiaotian said: "Yes, at this hour, the fish ...... You should be biting the hook, right? ”
