Chapter 658: Talisman
As he was talking, the shadow guard who was following him also came back, bowed his head and said: "This person's name is Chen En, and now he is the head of the Chen family's nursing home, it is said that the Chen family's eldest man once went out hunting, accidentally saved his life, and he has stayed by his side since then, and he is very important." ”
Yan Shiyue was stunned, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.
She looked at Emperor Ming Yan: "Aya, listen! What a similar story, I'm going to overturn my own judgment! ”
While thinking, she said: "Generally speaking, people in the world believe in 'repaying gratitude'. What if...... I saved a person in a very 'accident' situation, and this person has no relatives and no reason, felt my kindness, and was willing to stay and do things for me, 'repay the favor', I found that he was good at kung fu, he was also clever, and loyal to me, I naturally valued him more and more...... But what if this 'accident' was originally designed? ”
She paused: "The rich family, there is a place to hide silver, the silver in the private treasury, usually not much use, especially the private treasury of the head of the family and the mother, almost for a long time, if the flow of these fake ingots is secretly into the private treasury, to exchange the fake for the real?" ”
Nowadays, although there are silver tickets, everyone still believes in real money and silver, and the treasury is more accustomed to storing ingots, silver cakes and the like.
She asked Yingwei: "Is the Chen family very rich?" ”
"Yes," Ying Wei has been here for half a year, and he knows the situation of the whole town well, so he said: "The Chen family is a grain business, it is said that the ancestor made a horse, it looks inconspicuous, but in fact it is rich, it is said that the head of the family this term, there is also a nickname called Bell, which is the meaning of the descendants of the horse." ”
Yan Shiyue asked again: "That Chen En, how long has he been rescued?" How long has you been in a nursing home? ”
Ying Wei said: "It should have been more than a year since I was rescued, others said that it was last spring, and I have been a nurse for more than half a year, and it is said that it was winter." ”
In terms of time, it should be about the same, right? I don't know if it's a change or a few changes, if it's a change, he should leave after he succeeds, right?
Yan Shiyue looked at Emperor Ming Yan.
Emperor Ming Yan asked, "How is this person's kung fu?" ”
Shadow Wei said: "I haven't seen it, but it seems that one move can be killed, and it can be defeated within two hundred moves, but if there is no accident, the ears and eyes can hide it." ”
Yan Shiyue had never heard of the description of the shadow guard, and it was a little strange, Huo Qijing also said: "Kung fu should not be too good, I am good at light skills, and my ears and eyes are ordinary." ”
Emperor Ming Yan said: "You guys want to sneak into the Chen family treasury to check if there is fake silver." ”
The Shadow Guard obeyed.
Emperor Ming Yan said again: "Yue'er, you write to your father and ask him to quietly check the palace treasury." ”
Yan Shiyue responded, so he hurriedly wrote to Yan Chengyuan, and did not write the cause and effect, but only asked him to quietly check the library without telling everyone, and noted the appearance of fake silver.
Emperor Ming Yan was quite relaxed and asked her: "If the matter is what you guessed, how do you think you should check it next?" ”
Yan Shiyue said: "Aya, do you think this kind of method is very similar to reading seedlings?" It takes two or three years to brush up a family, and the family wealth that is exchanged for it, if there is a 100,000 taels, 200,000 taels...... Even if it's tens of thousands, it's a huge profit, right? When the matter was revealed, they ran away without a trace. I think there should be more than one such person......"
She remembered and asked, "Aya, you said that the shadow guard found out that the source is here, that is, the place of production is here?" ”
Emperor Ming Yan nodded.
Yan Shiyue said solemnly: "The minister suggested that Sima Long be secretly interrogated." ”
Emperor Ming Yan said: "Just thought of this? I've already tried it. ”
He asked someone to send a testimony, and Sima Long summoned Zhu Hong, that is, Lang Zhong, the head of the treasury, how to talk about this matter...... It's similar to the talisman in the Dream of Red Mansions, a thing that has been passed down from generation to generation in the household department, and there is a contact place on it.
But probably because of the trouble in the treasury, that place has been emptied, and there is nowhere to recourse.
Yan Shiyue didn't think of this at all, and was angry at first glance: "These people are really damned!" It's even worse than I imagined! They should all be killed! Raid the house! Ah Jing, you can buy me a whip, the one that wants to be thorny, and I will see who is not pleasing to the eye in the future, and then I will smoke it first! ”
Emperor Ming Yan patted her on the back: "What should you do with a few strokes?" It's not painful, but it also damages your reputation, just clean it up slowly. ”
Yan Shiyue was still angry for a while before he began to think about it.
Tin is one of the famous "hardware": gold, silver, copper, iron, tin, discovered very early, with a very low melting point, and tinsmiths are everywhere, but if it is used in large quantities...... There must be tin mines.
Yan Shiyue asked, "Is there a tin mine here?" ”
Emperor Ming Yan nodded, and Ying Wei said: "There is a tin mine in the local area, and it has been bought a long time ago, and no problems have been found." ”
Tin ore is divided into two kinds of mountain tin and water tin, and mountain tin is divided into two kinds of tin melon and tin sand, and the local one belongs to mountain tin and tin melon, and the quality is still good.
Smelting tin also uses a flood furnace, usually a furnace of hundreds of catties of tin sand, hundreds of catties of charcoal, quite a lot of momentum, in terms of the number of fake ingots, it is impossible to hide in the house little by little slowly refined.
Yan Shiyue said: "Is it possible that they only refine a batch when it is safe to do so, and then they don't refine it, or since the treasury case, they don't refine it?" ”
"It's very likely," Emperor Ming Yan said, "But where did they refine before?" ”
Who knows!
Yan Shiyue asked, "Is there a map?" ”
The shadow guard is like the robot cat Tinker Bell, he immediately took out the map, the shops on the street, what is the place, all drawn, because there is a tin mine in the local area, so there are many tinsmiths, Yan Shiyue said: "Check the tin mine?" ”
Ying Wei said: "I have already checked, and no suspicious points have been found." ”
Yan Shiyue said: "What about the tin smith?" The most dangerous place is the safest place! ”
Ying Wei said: "I've checked it too." ”
Yan Shiyue thought hard for a long time, and she didn't know where else to start, she said faintly according to the map: "Aya, did you ask the shadow guard to come out and humiliate me?" ”
Emperor Ming Yan was talking to Xu Wenqu while playing chess, and comforted her with a smile when he heard the words: "It is precisely because all the methods that can be used are used that I called you to try your luck, didn't you find Chen En as soon as you came?" You've made a meritorious service! ”
Yan Shiyue said: "But I am also a person who has been to the Criminal Department!" I eat by wisdom and talent! It's not by luck! ”
Emperor Ming Yan smiled and was silent.
Because it was not in the palace, everyone was at ease, Xu Wenqu smiled and beckoned: "Yue'er come here, I'm going to lose, you come over to help." ”
"I won't," Yan Shiyue came over and said, "I can only play checkers." ”
Xu Wenqu smiled: "You close your eyes and take a step casually." ”
The three of them all looked at her with a smile, Yan Shiyue closed her eyes, touched one casually, and then put another casually.
The place where it was put happened to be childless, and as soon as it was put down, several people all laughed, and Prince Chun smiled: "Immediately I can see that it is far and near." ”
Xu Wenqu also smiled: "This step is indeed both wise and talented, and it is wonderful to the peak. ”
Even Emperor Ming Yan laughed again and again: "My Yue'er really doesn't rely on luck to eat. ”
Yan Shiyue listened to it for a long time, and then realized that he was helping Emperor Ming Yan, and it seemed that he was very helpful.
Seeing that the three of them were laughing, while continuing to study the beauty of her step, she couldn't understand the fun of this kind of cultural person, sighed, and retreated.
