"Okay, let's get down to business." Zhaolin put down the teacup and snapped his fingers, and a character relationship diagram with a portrait immediately appeared in front of Qi Ke's eyes, "The character map of Patriarch Cao's family has been sorted out." ”

Qi Ke looked at this large relationship diagram, felt a little dazzled, and raised his hand to help him clarify the relationship between the characters.

"Tut-tut, there are groups of wives and concubines, the population is really large, if the patriarch's family is separated, it can become a small family of its own." The wife of the patriarch Cao is still the old wife, two sisters-in-law, and fifteen concubines and thirteen concubines.

"These are the current population of the Cao family, whether there are any concubines and how many daughters are married, the time is too short, and it has not been found."

Qi Ke waved his hand indifferently, "The water spilled by the married daughter, if outsiders don't ask it specifically, no one in the family will take the initiative to mention it, find the old account book, a big living person will always spend money to eat, drink and Lazar from childhood to adulthood, and there will be a reflection in the account book, or a more troublesome way, go to the yamen room to steal the household file, there must be a record on the household register, otherwise how can the yamen collect taxes." ”

"Then it's better to go to the county government to steal the file, this is the most authoritative record." Zhao Lin shrugged, so decided, and then continued to return to the topic, "The eldest son is called Cao Min, thirty-seven years old, and he has been appointed as the next patriarch, and he has taken over at least half of the family business. ”

Zhao Lin gave several new windows, showing fragmentary pictures of his eldest son Cao Min handling official business, and even pictures of him looking at the account books, from the level of the account books he can touch, it can be inferred how many shops and businesses he takes care of on a daily basis.

"Does he know that he wants to trick me?"

"I haven't found it for the time being, and the insider doesn't know if the young patriarch knows, that person can know more about the inside story is the light of his Lao Tzu, his Lao Tzu is the patriarch's trusted cronies, and he himself is not so decent. We can't just listen to the insider's words, it hasn't been long since the little flying insect arrived in place, and a lot of information is still being collected, and it will take time to verify it slowly. ”

"Don't rush, do what you need to do, the initiative and time are on our side." Qi Ke showed an evil smile, "They are the squires of Siping County, and I am a military household in Donglin County, and if I am looking for trouble across the county, I must be prepared to sink into the sand." ”

"Maybe we can also check out the local grain merchants? The local grain production is low, and the grain mainly comes in from outside, and a big grain merchant like Cao's must do business with the grain merchant in this county, and maybe someone will become a family with him. ”

"Okay, we want to check, this is our intention to find out how many people there are in their family, maybe someone among the grain merchants in this county has married a daughter of the Cao family?"

"Understood." Shine on all the holographic screens, "I'll send the robot over when it gets dark." ”

"Let's do this quietly, don't let outsiders know about it first, unless Patriarch Cao can't bear it and wants to pull it out."

"Oh, by the way, I put those homeless people not far from the mountain, and hypnotized that they will continue to Siliu Village, but after they rest at night, I will let the robot send them back to their original place."

"What do you mean?" Qi Ke imagined it for a moment and shuddered, "No matter how far you go during the day, you have to return to the starting point at night, isn't it that you will never be able to reach your destination, and you will make people crazy?" ”

"This is a temporary way to delay time, today the monitoring of flying insects did not fly to Cao's mansion until mid-afternoon, and there is not much information to find out in the limited time, but tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, it should be enough to collect the basic information, and then the displaced people can be released."

"The displaced people who are used as gunmen are poor people, find a good place to settle them."

"Understood."
