This speculation may seem absurd, but there are a number of things, including the anomalies of these bones.

"In any case, it is unlikely that these people are local to Chang'an or people who have lived in Chang'an for a long time and have records in the government, and it is more likely that they passed through this place. Actually, besides the caravan, I wondered if it could be another team. For example, the troupe that plays tricks and performs in various places, the opera troupe, etc., but the team of as many as 52 people, whether they are playing tricks or singing opera, this scale must be not small, even if it is not recorded, it must be some name, if the whole of these teams suddenly disappears, with the speed of Chang'an news, it is impossible for the adults to have not heard of it, and it is impossible for He Taiping not to have been recorded. Qiao Ran said slowly, "Thinking about it, it's still the caravan that is most likely." ”

Zhen Shiyuan couldn't help but nod his head while listening.

It's just a reasonable guess, and it's useless without evidence.

When the girl's voice fell, he spoke: "What you said is very reasonable. It's just that there are many large and small caravans coming to Chang'an every month, and it is impossible to record them one by one. The guards at the gates couldn't have remembered what had happened ten years ago. ”

There are so many people coming and going in a day, and he is not an unforgettable wizard, and he has never heard of a wizard who has never forgotten to guard the city gates. If you have this ability, you would have done something else a long time ago, and who would come to guard the city gate.

"And I guess there's a reason for the caravan, too." The girl pondered for a moment, and then said, "What are they doing in the secret path?" Is it for men and women to have a private meeting in a secret passage? ”

Zhen Shiyuan rolled his eyelids: This Chang'an has a place for private meetings, and it is better to buy a house at will than to spend effort and material resources to build such a secret passage.

This probability is too low, unless you are well fed and have nothing to do.

"So I think maybe they're going to do something through the secret passage, like transport something that doesn't see the light." Qiao Ran said seriously, "There must always be someone to supply things to transport things, and from this point of view, it is more likely that it is a caravan." Someone may have borrowed something from another place to transport something to Chang'an, but someone in the caravan found out. Inevitably, the news leaked, so these people were poisoned, and then the people who were poisoned were killed by the people behind them. After all, these guards accompanied the caravan all the way, and if it was unfortunate that the relatives of the families in those caravans remembered the appearance of several of them, and were recognized later, it would be a big problem. ”

"Just in case, since we want to change people, we will completely solve the wave of manpower in front of us, and no one will be left." Qiao Ran said, "If you don't have such a ruthless and vicious way to kill people and kill cleanly, how can you hide a shady thing for ten years?" ”

Zhen Shiyuan was completely silent on the side, watching the girl reasoning and analyzing calmly, especially pushing the psychology of the mastermind behind the scenes so delicately, he couldn't help but jump his eyelids.

Fortunately, such a person didn't do anything evil. Thanks to his discerning vision of the hero who recruited people over, look at this idea, if she is not clear, she is afraid that she will think that something is wrong with her psychology.

However, people with great skills seem to be a little weird, such as the seal that is like a crazy corpse; For example, the girl in front of her is so meticulous in her psychological reasoning that she actually pairs them one by one.

"Even the official is about to believe your speculation." Zhen Shiyuan was quiet for a moment, and then spoke again, "This official will immediately start to ask people to check whether there was a main force of more than fifty people in the caravan and more than twenty guards in various places ten years ago, passing through Chang'an, but in the end they disappeared." ”

It's just that this investigation method may not be able to be checked for a while and a half, if you are lucky, you may be able to check one or two places, if you are unlucky, then you really don't know when you will find it.

"Actually, it can be less troublesome." Qiao Ran thought for a while, and said, "If it is really a caravan coming to Beijing, a large part of the caravan should be in contact with the local chamber of commerce in Chang'an. ”

Relying on the mountains and relying on the water to draft the water, the caravan barter is troublesome to say, but in the end, it can be simple, that is, I have something you don't have to sell here.

For example, when it comes to tea, there is a high probability that it comes from Yuhang, Jiangnan and so on.

"It would have been a lot easier to find it that way." Qiao Ran looked at Zhen Shiyuan and said.

originally thought that Zhen Shiyuan would do it immediately when he heard about it, but he didn't expect that his expression was just slightly condensed, and then he frowned: "This...... I'm afraid it's not easy. ”

"How could it not be easy?" Qiao Ran felt strange, "The government wants to borrow the account books of the Chamber of Commerce to investigate the case, is there anything wrong with this?" ”

"If it's in Jinling, it's naturally just a matter of one sentence." Knowing that the girl didn't understand, Zhen Shiyuan explained to her, "But this is Chang'an." ”

"Many powerful families have business blessings behind them, such as the Wang family of Langya Wang's rich business, you see the so-called famous Pei family in Jiangnan has a rice village business, but all the powerful people who are generous have other industries behind them to support, few are specialized in eating Lu, without business blessing, most of them are greedy."

These businesses provide financial security for the family, and these powers indirectly protect the business behind the family. Almost tacitly staggered the actions behind the clans of equal power.

The Wang family's money village is the largest money village in Da Chu, and the same is true of the Pei family's rice village, of course these famous and powerful people will not say that others are not allowed to open a money village to open a rice village, but with the protection of such a surname, how can this business be bad.

Seeing the girl pondering with her eyes down, Zhen Shiyuan thought about it, and continued to explain: "Of course, whether it is the Wang family's money village or the Pei family's rice village, there is no arbitrary price, it is reasonable, after all, the big family also wants to save face, and if you don't have to lose your tongue, you will be reported to Your Majesty by political enemies, and the gains will outweigh the losses when the time comes." ”

This is a bit far, and of course it is not his nonsense. After Zhen Shiyuan saw that the girl understood, he said: "I told you that this is to tell you that no one in the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce is simple, and the account book record is Your Majesty, if you don't have a name, you can't call it at will." ”

"Speaking of which, this is still a rule left by the first emperor." Zhen Shiyuan said with a long sigh, "You see that although Your Majesty is a woman now, she is not inferior to a man in her actions, but the first emperor is just the opposite, a little ...... Cowardly. ”

said the word "cowardly", Zhen Shiyuan didn't say it, but just made a lip sync to Qiao Ran.

"Gu Gu Gu tail, and even connived at the southwest Hou Chen Shan step by step, so that raising tigers was troubled, so that he raised troops, but fortunately in the end, he failed to raise troops, and the country never changed hands." Speaking of that experience, Zhen Shiyuan sighed with emotion, "I have seen that time with my own eyes, heroes emerge in troubled times!" ”

"In short, almost all the magnates in the entire Great Chu are involved behind this Chang'an Chamber of Commerce. At that time, this rule was set, and even His Majesty could not access the records of the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce at will, of course, if His Majesty wanted to check which company's business was also possible. Zhen Shiyuan said, "One sentence, but the records of the entire Chamber of Commerce can't be checked." ”

This doesn't sound like a big problem, and if you can't check the records of the Chamber of Commerce, why don't you just transfer the record books of every company involved?

But how many people are involved here, even if he Zhen Shiyuan wants to be transferred, how many will give him this face and let him check the accounts at will?
