"Brother Li is picking up the star building?"

Back at the Lin family, Lin Ruo learned the news from the housekeeper Zhong Ping, and almost without hesitation, Lin Ruo immediately ordered: "Ah Shu, go to the Star Picking Tower, and let Brother Li go back to the house." ”

Leng Shu neatly turned into an afterimage and disappeared in front of her, if it weren't for the urgency of time and the seriousness of the matter, she would hardly use Leng Shu to do such a trivial errand.

"Miss Shao, what's wrong?"

Zhong Ping asked uneasily.

Lin Ruo's hurried footsteps slowed down suddenly, and he smiled and relieved: "It's nothing, it's just a little thing." The emperor has some questions about the Qingmiao Law and the Qingmiao money, and I came to discuss with Brother Li. Uncle Ping, I'll go see my uncle first. Don't make a fuss and worry your uncle. There was a gentle smile in it that could not be refused.

It's not that she can't trust Zhong Ping, but she doesn't want Lin Qian to worry about her.

Zhong Ping paused, nodded, and replied: "The old slave understands, the young lady can rest assured." ”

Lin Qian was unwell, Zhong Ping was an insider, and from the past to the present, many things in the Lin Mansion were made by the young lady in front of him. As a steward, he knows what is important.

Lin Ruo went to visit his uncle, chatted with Lin Qian and coquettishly, and laughed and joked with Lin Qi and Li Xien, who came after hearing the news, without showing any horses. By borrowing the Star Tower to assist in supporting the Qingmiao Law and the Qingmiao Money, Lin Qian knew Lin Ruo's plan from the beginning, and since the emperor had doubts, he should discuss it carefully.

Lin Qian is a very self-aware person, and Lin Ruo is better at business than him; In terms of policy, Li Yan knows better than him; As for foresight and knowledge, Lin Ruo and Li Yan are far higher than him. Looking at these two wonderful children, he was very relieved and happy.

Hearing the report from the next person, saying that Zidian and Yun Yi came one after another, knowing that Lin Ruo asked them to come, she didn't restrain Lin Ruo, and let her go to her own courtyard to work.

"Uncle Ping, if Brother Li comes back, please invite him to come to my side immediately."

Lin Ruo gave an order to Zhong Ping as he walked.

Zhong Ping nodded in response, and saw Lin Ruo's slightly anxious steps, and felt a little uneasy in his heart: things should not be as light as Miss Shao said. The young lady is filial and doesn't want to worry the master, but she just ...... Alas, I hope that with the abilities of Young Miss and Young Master Li, it can be solved!

"Yun Yi, during this time, how many faces have come to the grain store to buy rice? And who have abnormal rice purchases? Lin Ruo sat down and asked Yun Yi straight to the point, "These two months." ”

The grain lords in Bian'an City were all served in one pot, not only the grain in the capital was in Lin Ruo's hands, but all the grain shops in the capital also changed their surname to Lin. A flood in Shangyu, there are not a few homeless people who choose to stay in the capital to make a living, and the young and strong people who are willing to endure hardships fill the vacancy caused by the rapid expansion of the Lin family's grain store.

Yun Yi obeyed Lin Ruo's arrangement in terms of management, and these poor guys took a lot of wages and did their best to do the work arranged by Yun Yi, the new shopkeeper of the grain store: delivering goods to the door, and naturally chatting with the customers who bought rice at will, and one year was enough time for them to get acquainted with those customers who bought rice. It is easy for ordinary people to talk, but the heads and subordinates of the powerful and wealthy families have been dealing with each other for a long time, and there are more words coming out of their mouths.

What's more, it's not to dig up the private pickles in other people's homes, but there are a few people, how much rice and grain are used on weekdays, and it is easier to find out these things under the pretext of "convenient for sending rice to the door in time next time".

Therefore, whose family has a wife, whose family has added Ding, whose family has mourned, and whose family has separated from the family...... Each guy is well aware of the demographic changes of his patrons.

Someone secretly targeted King Rong's Mansion and killed people at the gate of King Rong's Mansion, which was simply audacious! It may not be so easy to find out their identities; However, to find the whereabouts of these people, it is not impossible to start - these people who have not seen the light may not dare to live in the inn with great fanfare, so to feed such these people, firewood, rice, oil, salt and grain, is the breakthrough. And in the entire capital and the surrounding area, all the grain purchase and sales records happen to be in the hands of the grain shop that served as Lin Ruo's wife.

Yun Yi knew Lin Ruo's purpose of operating the grain store like this, so Lin Ruo asked like this, and he immediately understood.

There are many floating populations in the capital, business travelers, students rushing to take exams, relatives of provincial relatives, as well as people rushing to the market, studying tours, and taking refuge...... There are guards at the four gates of the east, west, north and south, but it is not impossible for them to slip through the net while they are in the chaos.

Yun Yi understands that what Lin Ruo wants to know is not the trivial gossip of who adds a ding, marries a wife, hangs mulberry, and separates the house, but those who have no reason to suddenly change their food consumption greatly - it is not easy to find out if one or two more people are in a large family, but ordinary people have an extra mouth, and the difference in food consumption is not small; Or a face who can't be identified to buy food.

This is the first time that Lin Ruo has solemnly and solemnly activated the hidden role of the grain store, although Yun Yi doesn't know what happened, he also knows that the matter is important, and immediately thinks about it seriously.

All the news is summarized, and as soon as the end of the tenth day, Yun Yi still has some impressions this month, but last month, he needs to remember it well.

Just when Lin Ruo was focusing on looking for the group of murderers who were secretly eyeing the Rongwang Mansion, Bai Que finished a gluttonous meal, got a silver ticket of 100,000 taels, and left with the chopping tent satisfied.

Back in the inn room, someone had been waiting there for a long time.

The man was about thirty years old, dressed in a dark red robe, and his whole face would have been handsome if it weren't for the horrible abscess on his left cheek. The abscess seemed to be festering for many years, and the flesh and blood had hardened, coupled with his cold gaze, and the only strand of gray hair on his forehead, the whole person looked particularly murderous.

Seeing Bai Que come back, he didn't get up, he sat motionless, just raised his eyelids and stared at Bai Que.

Such a faux pas, Bai Que did not get angry, but sat down next to the other party.

"Mr. Tang."

He saluted respectfully to the man, bowing his head, not daring to look at him.

This person is Tang Biao, who is known as the "poison doctor" in the rivers and lakes, and he is also the number one person in Jiuxing, who only lives under the pavilion master Liyan and the deputy pavilion master Bai Que.

"How?"

Tang Biao's voice was rough and hoarse, as if it was the sound of two pieces of old dead tree bark rubbing.

Bai Que picked up the kettle, poured himself a cup of tea, moistened his throat, and then said: "I didn't tell her about Tang Xiao's return to Beijing, nor did I tell her that Tang Xiao was the mastermind." ”

Tang Biao's eyes widened angrily, and he clenched his fists: "Why? ”

"Mr. Tang, our purpose is to watch the snipe and clam fight, use her to muddy the water in the capital, and avenge you and me. It's just—" the corners of Bai Que's mouth hooked, "She's much smarter than you and I thought." ”

Tang Biao narrowed his eyes.

"I want to see how capable this girl is. Mr. Tang, what do you think? ”
