Hearing Zhang Hucao say this, Gu Yanzhang suddenly had a score in his heart, he had the heart to ask more, because he had traveled all the way, he had already known that this person was cautious, and the reminder just now was already the greatest kindness of the other party, and if he talked about it more, if he didn't say anything, he wouldn't get any answers.

He smiled, diverted the subject, and found two more inconsequential things to talk about before stepping aside.

People can deceive people, and their tongues can disguise themselves, but they can't with documents.

Gu Yanzhang deliberately carried those industrial lists on his body, all of which were not eye-catching, but they were very easy to profit, whether they were sold or rented, or operated by themselves, they were all very cheap, and now they have changed hands by looking for the shelves.

It doesn't matter whose name you put it on, what matters is who is behind that person and who did it.

The candidates who can pick out these industries, except for Gu Pingzhong, don't think about it as a second person. But he is a businessman, and he wants to change the owner of the main property unknowingly, saying that it is a fool's dream, which is all to save face.

Without the help of others, he may not be able to move even if he goes to the sky.

When he first arrived in Yanzhou City, not only Gu Pingzhong had tested Gu Yanzhang, but Gu Yanzhang had also inquired about Gu Pingzhong.

Gu Pingzhong tempted Gu Yanzhang, he could only watch his deeds, listen to his words, look at his luggage, and count his clothes, after all, Gu Yanzhang had been absent from Yanzhou for a long time, and the servants he brought with him were all outsiders who had sold out their deeds, no one could ask questions, and there was no communication to check.

But he himself is different.

Since the recovery of Yanzhou, Gu Pingzhong has entered the city, bought land and houses, bought properties and seized industries, and has a lot of possessions and influence, and has a wide range of branches.

This is both a good thing and a bad thing.

This made him easily use all kinds of manpower and material resources when he wanted to calculate Gu Yanzhang, but it also made Gu Yanzhang get twice the result with half the effort when he wanted to inquire about him.

Gu Yanzhang inquired about Gu Pingzhong, using a stupid method, he directly asked a small handyman to guard at the entrance of Tingyi Lane, counting the number of foreign surnames who enter and leave Gu Pingzhong's house every day, and seeing what kind of mansion carriage Gu Pingzhong's mansion came and went every day, and which household's subordinates, and also sent out the rosin pine knot, and always followed several big stewards of the Gu family and Gu Pingzhong himself to see what class of people they visited.

At that time, he was not entirely sure how much malice this clan uncle had towards him, and he only made this preparation in order to estimate the other party's power, but at this moment, this seemingly useless move happened to come in handy.

As a result of the investigation by Rosin Xiang and others, in Gu Pingzhong's social circle, except for the rich merchants and landlords in the city, there are no dignitaries and dignitaries, and those who can be attached to them are just a few officials.

And among the officials he came and went with the most, there was this one named Zheng Xian.

I didn't think that when those documents were turned out from the shelves of the papers, this Zheng Zhusi immediately came out, and people didn't say it as his name said, so that he signed a fancy handwriting, so that people couldn't ignore it if they wanted to.

It is simply a natural candidate for Gu Pingzhong to seize the property.

is old in the affairs of officials, has been rooted in the state government for many years, bullying and suppressing, even if he has not seen the other party yet, Gu Yanzhang can already sketch the appearance of that person in his mind.

Such a typical traitor, as long as he gives enough benefits, not to mention just helping to seize property, he is helping to kill people, and he has done it.

He thought about it for a while, and remembered what Ji Qingling said yesterday about suspecting Gu Pingzhong's arson.

Taking advantage of the fact that he was in the file library of Hu Cao Si, Gu Yanzhang quickly found the industrial deed paper of several streets that had become very popular in the past six months according to the arrangement on the file shelf.

Ji Qingling only thought that Gu Pingzhong was trying to make more money, but Gu Yanzhang felt that although the wood, bricks, and water equipment that had been doubled several times were sold out, it was already a big fortune in the eyes of ordinary people, but for Gu Pingzhong, it was not eye-catching.

Different from before, in the past six months, the number of water walks has been frequent, and the locations are getting closer and closer to Pingrong Street and South Street, and almost all of them are residential buildings.

If the shop is burned, although it costs a lot of money, the owner behind it will generally have surplus money and can rebuild it, but if the house is burned, often half of the household's assets will be burned, and when the fire is extinguished, it will no longer be able to rebuild.

Gu Yanzhang opened a few rolls of deed paper on the shelf of East Street, flipped to the area where the water was walking a while ago, and sure enough, after turning several pages in a row, he saw a familiar name in the column of the head of the household.

Gu Pingzhong.

Go through the rest of the streets, there are a few heads of households on them, back and forth, and the one who appears most frequently is Gu Pingzhong.

Gu Yanzhang scolded in his heart, and an indescribable hatred appeared from the bottom of his heart.

It's no wonder that more than half of the water is close to the prosperous area.

What better way to harvest the land? The seller is in a hurry, either to save his life, or to treat his injury, or to wait to find another cheap location to buy land and build a house.

Yamen needs evidence for the judgment, but Gu Yanzhang doesn't need it, just look at the result.

Putting the scroll back on the shelf, he took a deep breath, and now that he had made up his mind, he swept the room, found the one who was respected by everyone at the lunchtime feast, walked to his side, and helped sort out the deed paper that had been counted on the side.

The library of archives was not small, and seven or eight households and officials were scattered, and from time to time someone walked out and walked in, and he followed in that place, not much of a notice.

The other party was flipping through the documents from a few years ago, and when he saw Gu Yanzhang coming over, he accosted him with a drunken smile and said, "Boy, do you know how much wealth you have contributed this time?" ”

At noon, a table was eaten, and everyone was staggered, at this time the wine was not dispersed, the friendship on the wine table was still there, and the other party did not have too many scruples when he spoke.

Gu Yanzhang sighed, looked like he was drunk and spit out the truth, and said, "I can't hide it, if I can keep it, why should I do this?" ”

"I haven't been back for many years, and when I come back this time, all the family property has been taken away by the uncle in the clan, and the money and property are hard to get. He burped, spoke openly, and looked like a young man who was angry and was venting, "It turns out that the shops selling rouge and cloth in Xiting Street, Dangzhuang Lane, and Xiuyuan are all my family, but now it has only been half a year, and they have all changed owners, and they are about to tell Zhang Hucao about it......"

He chattered, deliberately found a few industries that had been renamed recently, and read the names one by one, and sure enough, he didn't think about it, but the chief of Hucao, who was telling jokes, suddenly sat up straight, and his face lost his previous wine.

After a while, the chief of the household found an excuse and hurried out the door.
