Ji Yingnan said: "Shangfeng informed the lower officials that there are people in Jiangnan Mansion who resell all kinds of materials from the government, and the duty of the lower officials is to assist the prince to find out the people who resell the materials and the people who buy the materials. At the same time, it is also necessary to verify whether Gao Herui, the governor of Jiangnan Prefecture, has corrupted the law. ”

I know a lot.

Hua Xiao continued to ask, "How much information do you have now?" ”

Ji Yingnan said: "Lord Gao Herui has a good reputation and is very prestigious among the people. Xia Guan still remembers the scene when he stood up with righteousness during the flood four years ago, just like yesterday. Master Gao is very frugal on weekdays, and since he became the prefect, many of his relatives and friends have asked him for benefits, but he has refused. ”

"You mean, he was wronged?" Hua Xiao asked.

"It's hard to draw conclusions." Ji Yingnan shook his head with a serious face: "There are too many people on the surface and behind them." Although it is difficult for the lower officials to believe that Gao Herui will also be corrupt and pervert the law, the lower officials will definitely do their best to investigate. Once there is definite news, the lower officials must immediately report it to the prince. ”

"What about the other one?" Hua Xiao asked again: "How much do you know about reselling materials?" ”

Ji Yingnan took a deep breath and said: "Regarding this, Xiaguan really found out an important situation, but whether this situation is related to the resale of materials still needs to be further confirmed." ”

Hua Xiao immediately said: "What is the important situation?" ”

Ji Yingnan said: "After the winter, the ships sent out by other trading houses are decreasing, but the ships of the Four Seas trading houses have not decreased. After all, spring plowing and autumn harvest, after autumn, there is enough grain, and it takes a lot of ships to transport this grain out. ”

"Four Seas Firm?" Hua Xiao thought for a while and said, "Sihai Commercial Bank is one of the three major commercial houses in Jiangnan Mansion, and it is as famous as your Yingnan Commercial Bank. Even if the ships of the Four Seas did not decrease after the winter, it may be due to their booming business. Why do you doubt the Four Seas Firm solely on the basis of this alone? ”

Ji Yingnan said: "Lord Wang, the lower officials naturally suspect the Four Seas Commercial Bank just because of this. Xia Guan also found out about a situation. ”

"What's the situation?"

"There are four ships of the Four Seas Commercial Company, and after going to sea, they are not taking the conventional route."

"Oh? And such things? Hua Xiao asked: "They didn't take the regular route, where did they go?" ”

"They got to an island." Ji Yingnan said: "Lord Wang, do you know what these four boats did after they arrived on the island? ”

Hua Xiao didn't like to guess, although he still thought about it in his heart.

Li Qing also thought about the purpose of these ships to such an island.

She barely spoke, because Ji Yingnan was the emperor's person, and it was inconvenient for her to say too much in front of Ji Yingnan, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

At this time, she just needs to be quietly on the side as a beautiful vase.

After thinking for a while, she had a guess in her heart: if what the secret letter said was true, someone in Jiangnan Mansion resold the government's materials, then this island would definitely not be the terminal.

This island can only be a transit point.

In order to cover up the people's eyes, these people first sailed to this island, and then changed boats and sent them to other places.

Li glanced at Ji Yingnan quietly, quietly waiting for his answer to see if she had guessed correctly.
