Li Duan pondered, this matter can't just be left alone, he has to find someone to go out and inquire, just who to send, he doesn't have a good candidate for the time being.

Last time, because of Wei Xiaoshan's matter, their family's Zhuangzi who raised people was served by Tang Zhifu, and the raised people ran away, not to mention, their family was also targeted by those squires and Pei family in Lin'an City, and there was no way to recruit people again, and no one did some shady things in the family, and without the previous well-informed, many events were suspended.

Why don't you collect a few helpers?

Li Duan was thinking carefully in his heart about the gangsters with names and surnames in Lin'an City, and Lin Jue came.

He stood up suddenly, and while walking out to greet Lin Jue, he asked the little guy who came to Tongyu: "Is the young master here alone or with whom?" ”

Lin Jue went back to Fujian this time to contact the Peng family, I don't know how things went?

It's just that before the little guy could speak, he ran into Lin Jue, who was surrounded by several little guys.

Lin Jue made a calm face, and when he saw that Li Duan didn't even say a few words of greeting, he said bluntly: "Ah Duan, we are talking in the study!" ”

Li Duan chuckled in his heart, and his intuition was wrong.

His face couldn't help but sink, and he waved his hand at the little guy next to him.

The boys all retreated.

Lin Jue and Li Duan entered the study.

Li Duan didn't call the maid, and personally made tea for Lin Jue.

Lin Jue irritably took off the cloak he was wearing, threw it on the Luohan bed in the study, and said to Li Duan: "Ah Duan, it's not good!" This time, the eldest master of the Peng family came with me, saying that the Pei family accidentally got a nautical map, which can go from Guangzhou to Dashi. The Tao family in Guangzhou has already tried the voyage, and the route is feasible......"

"What did you say?" Like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Li Duan's hand shook, the tea cans fell to the ground with a "snap", and the best Biluochun was scattered all over the ground, he turned around and looked at Lin Jue with a black face, "The Pei family got a navigation map?" ”

He had been worried that there was something wrong with the map, but he didn't expect that the matter of the map had not been made clear, and now there was such a thing!

Lin Jue looked at Li Duan and took a deep breath, only then did he feel that his flustered heart had calmed down a little, and his thoughts became clearer: "I quickly returned to Fujian and sent the painting to Peng's house." Peng Jiajia inspected the painting and map, and was very satisfied. Then I agreed according to what we had agreed before, no compensation, and we will take a share of the Peng family's business on this route in the future. It was the eleventh master of the Peng family who saw me. By the way, this time he also came with the eldest master of the Peng family. He agreed at that time, I think, there is no basis for words, and words are based on evidence. I wanted to make a document with their family, and the eleventh master agreed.

"It's just that it takes time to make the paperwork, not to mention that I euphemistically said that the document should be stamped with the Peng family's family seal. I stayed at Peng's house for the night. Early the next morning, the eleventh master personally took the drafted documents and discussed the details with me, who knew that the situation would change after lunch.

"The eldest man of the Peng family met me personally and asked me about the process of finding this painting. Of course, I can't say anything about the Yu family and the Wei family, but I just said that I found Lu Xin according to the clues they gave. I never thought that Lu Xin's front foot promised us to sell us the painting, but the back foot drank too much wine and drowned, and Lu Xin's relics fell into the hands of the Yu family. Afraid of startling the grass and attracting the attention of the Pei family, we instigated the people of the Lu family behind our backs to take back Lu Xin's relics, and then bought them back from the Lu family for five hundred taels of silver. ”

Speaking of this, Lin Jue's forehead sweated, his voice was a little lower, and he continued: "Master Peng listened carefully, he didn't say anything at that time, just asked me to pack my luggage and follow him to Lin'an City. I was a little stunned when I heard it, and asked Mr. Peng what happened, Mr. Peng smiled, said that he was not familiar with Lin'an City, and let me show the way.

"Who am I? Before I learned to walk, I followed my father to the north and south, what kind of people I haven't met, what kind of things I haven't seen. As soon as I heard this, I knew that something was wrong, but I was living in the Peng family's house at the time, and I was eating the Peng family's food, and I was really afraid that they would kill me there quietly. pretending not to find anything, packed up his things and followed the Peng family's people out of the city overnight.

"I only inquired on the way. It turned out that the Pei family didn't know where they got the map, which was the map that the Peng family wanted. The Pei family also issued hero stickers and invited many wealthy families from all over the world to come to the auction to do something. Whoever has the most money will give this map to whom? The deposit for entering the door is two thousand taels of silver......"

So, the strange faces that have emerged in Lin'an City in the past few days are those wealthy families from all over the world?

Li Duan didn't care about the tea leaves spilled on the ground, his face was cloudy as if it was going to rain, he poured a cup of white water and handed it to Lin Jue, and said, "What does the Peng family mean?" Suspect we also sent this painting to the Pei family? ”

Lin Jue can be said to have basically not closed his eyes in the past few days, let alone eat and drink well.

He took the teacup and drank a cow drink, drank the teacup empty, and then said, "The people of the Peng family didn't say anything." But isn't that obvious? As soon as I entered Lin'an City, Master Peng asked me to come to you, and he took the Eleventh Master to live in the guest house used by the Pei family to entertain the people who participated in the auction this time, and told me that the Eleventh Master would come to visit us tonight. I thought, since the Pei family wants to sell this map, and what is the highest price, they will definitely take out a part of the map for these people who come to participate in the auction to distinguish the real from the fake, Master Peng lived in the Pei family as a bidder, most likely to see if the map is the same as the map in "Songxi Fishing Hidden Map". ”

How did things come to be like this?

Li Duan was very flustered.

But he and Lin Jue are both relatives and collaborators, and there are some things that relatives can say, but collaborators can never say it. He couldn't show it in front of Lin Jue, otherwise the Li family and the Lin family would rise and fall, and Lin Jue would feel that he was weak, and he would not obey their family as before.

"What are you afraid of?" He couldn't help but put on a calm face, and said indifferently, "The clues to the painting were provided by the Peng family, and we also sent the painting to the Peng family according to their family's intentions, and their family also proved that it was a real painting after verification." Now that something has gone wrong, what does it have to do with us? Also visit us in the evening! Li Duan snorted coldly, "Then let them come to visit." I also want to ask them what to do about the Peng family? Didn't you say before that there was only one map? Where did the Pei family's map come from? Scarcity is expensive, no matter how stupid we are, we will not step on two boats and sell good jadeite into cabbage. ”

Lin Jue was indeed a little panicked before, but at this time, seeing Li Duan's confident appearance, he also calmed down.

He couldn't help but say in amazement: "Aren't I afraid that the Peng family will suspect that we leaked the news?" ”

"If you want to talk about leaking news, isn't there any suspicion in their Peng family?" Li Duan said, even his confidence gradually increased, "They didn't look for other people's homes before they came to us?" The Peng family is one of the best families in Fujian, but the world is big, as well as Guangdong, Zhejiang, and Jiangsu. This kind of thing, there are more chances of it coming out of a high-ranking family like them, right? ”

Lin Jue smiled bitterly.

That being said, the Peng family has to admit that something is wrong with them!

People have great wealth and power, and if they have to be angry, what can they do?

"Let's talk about it when we see the eleventh master in the evening!" Lin Jue said listlessly, "I hope the map that the Pei family gets has nothing to do with us!" ”

So far, I can only wait until I meet with the people of the Peng family in the evening.

On the Pei family's side, Pei Yan is idle.

When it comes to the end, everything that should be arranged has been arranged, and everything that should be paid attention to has been paid attention to, but it will be fine.

Ah Ming came in with a small four-compartment box, squinted his eyes and smiled: "Third master, the Yu family sent peanut crisp over, can you taste it?" ”

Pei Yan opened the box, in addition to the three snacks he usually likes to eat, there is also an unfamiliar halva.

The malt-colored sugar is wrapped in white and fat peanuts, which not only looks fresh, but also makes people feel appetizing.

Pei Yan tasted one.

There is both the sweetness of maltose and the crispiness of peanuts.

Pei Yan sighed.

Usually the sugar boiled out in this way is wrapped in something as if it has been cooked, and this peanut crisp is like its sugar, and it is very crispy.

However, it would be better if there were a little more peanuts.

He subconsciously felt that this was something that Miss Yu had made.

"Then what is Miss Yu tossing about?" Pei Yan said.

As soon as Hu Xing came back from the Yu family's old house, he ran to him to express his credit, and of course he knew that the most suitable thing for the Yu family's mountain forest was to grow peanuts.

He said, "Wouldn't their family be going to grow peanuts?" I see that this candy is not cheap to make. However, peanuts wrapped in sugar are a little cheaper than those full of sugar, and they should be able to sell them. I'm afraid that it will take three years for a season of peanuts to be made into halva before they can be sold. At that time, the peanuts in this peanut crisp will not taste good, and the sugar will not be easy to sell, right? ”

Although this is a bit poisonous, it is not without purpose.

Ah Ming had a good impression of Yu Tang, and as soon as Pei Yan said this, he was a little worried about Yu Tang.

"I heard that this peanut crisp was made by Miss Yu." He looked at Pei Yan a little nervously and said, "However, I haven't heard that Miss Yu is going to sell this!" Maybe I accidentally made this delicious candy, but I want you to try it? You've helped their family so much, and they must be grateful to you! ”

There is some truth to this.

Pei Yan said "um" and said, "Is Miss Yu making this peanut cake recently?" ”

Since Pei Yan asked about Yu Tang and Pei Man didn't answer last time, the people of the Pei family have paid special attention to Yu Tang's whereabouts.

Ah Ming opened her mouth and came: "Miss Yu hasn't gone out these days according to your instructions, she should be making this peanut cake at home." However, Miss Yu once sent someone to inquire about the trade of candied fruits, as well as the trade in grocery stores and the sale of charcoal. ”

The corners of Pei Yan's mouth twitched.

How does it sound like a headless fly!

Can't she stop the point? Staying at home?
