The afternoon sunlight shone in through the window, Ka Ludai fell asleep on the kang table, and Yinzhen looked at the folds on the opposite side, all of which were turned from Kangxi, and most of them were written to inspect the situation of the officials.

"Master, Turichen is back!" Su Peisheng walked in from the outside and replied through the screen.

When Ka Lu Dai heard Su Peisheng's voice, he opened his eyes in a daze, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, giving her a reassuring smile.

"The slave has been investigated clearly, and the person in the middle is Li Cheng, the second son of Li Wenye, who is very favored at home, does not do his job, and is considered to be the leader among the gentlemen in the county." Tu Lichen said directly.

Ka Lu Dai raised his head and stared at Yin Zhen, his face was really bad, Dan Feng's eyes were full of anger, Li Cheng's move might have a big impact.

"The servants sent people to inquire about the surrounding merchants, Li Cheng came out today to collect management fees on behalf of Li Wenye, and the officials accompanied the escort of the silver." Tu Lichen said directly.

Syllable!

Yin Zhen directly smashed the teacup in his hand, and the first government actually charged management fees, no wonder, the prices in the commercial street will generally be very high.

"According to the vendors, the people who can come here are basically people who have small businesses or are scholars, and ordinary people can't afford them." Turichen said.

Yin Zhen snorted coldly: "Tu Lichen sent someone back to find out if the Li family has sent letters or news here, even if it is a piece of paper, you can't let it go." ”

"Master, let's go down and walk around?" Kaludai replied.

"Well, let's go for a walk, someone should be watching, otherwise, when the management fee is collected, it won't be so quiet." Yin Zhen sneered.

The two got up and walked down, the shopkeeper quickly got up and greeted him, Yin Zhen kept staring at the hall, and found that the people sitting in the hall were dressed up by many officials, and the errand runners in the hall were very respectful to these people.

Yin Zhen took a look and discovered the mystery inside, and his body was slightly tilted to the side of Kaludai.

"Little Phoenix, keep your head down and don't speak, these people are all officials." Yin Zhen lowered his voice and said.

Kaludai's footsteps paused for a moment, and he walked forward as if nothing had happened, keeping his eyes on the casual visitors in the hall.

The two left the tea house, and Ka Ludai deliberately asked Zhang Deshun to stay at the door, so that he could pay attention to the location of those individual customers.

"Master, I let Zhang Desheng stay over there, I hope to bring us good news." Kaludai always had the illusion that every move was watched, which made her extremely uncomfortable.

Yin Zhen's eyes flashed with praise, and he found that there was more and more tacit understanding with Kaludai, and the two of them were just looking at each other, and Kaludai could quietly arrange it.

The eyes of those in the hall were all aimed at Yinzhen, but the supervision of Kaludai was relaxed.

"Little Phoenix, let's go to the restaurant, I heard that the hot pot here is a little different from that in the imperial capital, let's take the opportunity to taste the food." Yin Zhen cheered.

Yinzhen's family of three has passed, and he took the lead in booking a private room, and Yinzhen went to attract the attention of outsiders, and hoped that those people would pay attention to him.

"Master, look at that stall, I see that the rattle is better than the imperial capital, should we buy one for Taifen?" Kaludai was very fond of Téfen and would visit her from time to time.

Yin Zhen took Ka Lu Dai to the stall and found that there were several excellent rattles on the stall, and the drum sticks of these rattles were hollow and carved.

"How do you sell these two rattles?" Kaludai played with it in his hand and looked at the Afu pattern painted on it, which was an auspicious group.

"Madam, these two need a tael of silver, and since the drum sticks are carved from mahogany, these two rattles are very expensive." The stall owner is an old man in his forties, and when he speaks, he is very respectful.

Ka Lu Dai turned to look at Yin Zhen: "Master, look." ”

"Buy it, the little girl will like it." Yin Zhen said directly.

Kaludai laughed: "Stallholder, I want both, tortoiseshell, give the silver!" ”

The tortoiseshell stepped forward and gave a tael of silver, and the stall owner happily handed the two rattles to the tortoiseshell.

Ka Lu Dai left with Yinzhen, but the stall owners were envied by the stall owners left and right, they have been doing business here for many days, and they may not be able to make profits every day, not to mention, the government Yin has to add some extra silver, and the life of the traders is really not good.

"Little Phoenix, the workmanship of these two rattles is good, and these two pieces of silver must be worth it." Yin Zhen said directly.

Kalu Daile laughed: "I dare to buy it for Tai Fen because I see it is good, why do I think the stall owner is happy?" ”

Yin Zhen smiled unkindly: "Let's wait for the news to be clear." ”

In the restaurant, Yinzhen and Yin Genjue Luo gathered around the table, Tai Fen sat in front of the window, taken care of by the grandmother, when Yinzhen and Kaludai entered the hall, the grandmother hurriedly hugged Kaludai to salute.

"Say hello to the fourth elder brother, please say hello to the fourth blessing jin!" Mama Yu is Taifen's grandmother, and she has been serving by Taifen's side, and she learned that Yinzhen and Yinzhen have a good relationship, and her attitude is of course getting better and better.

"Taifen, your fourth aunt bought you two small toys, come and take a look." Yin Zhen waved his hand and reached out to hug Taifen, "Big brother, sister-in-law, the small toys I bought outside, looking at the carving of the rattle is good." ”

Su Peisheng respectfully handed the two rattles to Yinzhen and Yin Genjue Luo, Yin Genjue Luo looked at it and looked at Yinzhen in surprise.

"The fourth brother's rattle is not made poorly, and the materials are very particular." Yin Genjue Roche found a few rattles for toner, and he knew the advantages and disadvantages of these things too well.

"Sister-in-law, are you telling the truth?" Kaludai remembered the offer made in the interior, and like here, there were nine-tenths of the benefits in it, which were all obtained by the minions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Imperial Merchant.

"Of course, before leaving Beijing, I deliberately asked the people from Neizao to take two rattles, so that Tai Fen could have a game on the road." Yin Genjue Luo handed it over directly to Taifen, and the little girl was very happy.

"These two are only a tael of silver!" Kaludai said.

Smack!

Yinchu slammed the teacup on the table, and his face became gloomy: "Fourth, what my brother and sister said is true?" ”

"Big brother, it's true, after we came out of the tea house, we just walked around on the road and bought it casually at the stall, and the stall owner must not have anything to do with those people." Yin Zhen nodded.

Tu Lichen just walked in from the outside, standing aside in a regular manner, waiting for Yinzhen's orders.

"Tu Lichen, what's the news from your side!" Yin Zhen looked at Tu Lichen.

In the tea house, Yinzhen heard Tu Lichen mention Li Cheng, so he asked Tu Lichen to continue to investigate the reputation of Li Wenye's family here.
