The indecisive shopkeeper Wang felt that it was immoral to invite a girl from Manchun Courtyard to be a musician, but he was very moved by the price of thirty or fifty wen a day.

These days, he asks someone to look for it outside, and the cheapest one costs 100 wen a day, and he can only come at night every day.

He couldn't make up his mind about the matter for a while, so he had to put it on hold again.

And when Lord Shen returned to the Inspection Division angrily, Lu Tong's master and servant were chatting in the study and waiting for him.

It turned out that Xiaozhu had returned from the county seat.

He should have come back a long time ago.

After Ma Laifu fled back to Xiashan, there was no need for him to stay in the county anymore.

However, Lord Shen was angry in the county office, and he was determined to make some trouble for that Fang Gao, and temporarily assigned him a task to investigate Fang Gao's bottom again.

That high energy suddenly rose in a few years, and it definitely won't be a straw bale.

This is a very cautious person, and everything he can find is painless. Even if it is to seize people's property, occupy people's land, kill people and steal goods, most of them do it without leaving a trace. Some of them may be regarded as violations of the law when examined in detail, and they can only be regarded as small cases, and at most they can be made more important than money.

However, he Xiaozhu is not an ordinary person, but he also learned how to probe the news from General Lu's chief guard, and if he can't find out the handle of the past, it doesn't mean that he can't find any useful clues about the present and future.

Lord Shen entered the study with an unpleasant face, and the three masters and servants who were talking and laughing all looked at Chu Yi who followed in with an inexplicable expression.

Chu Yi secretly made a look that he would talk about later, and stepped forward to pour a cup of tea for Lord Shen.

Just now at the Lilai Teahouse, the adults didn't even drink a few sips of that pot of tea!

Lord Shen picked up the teacup and blew it, forcibly put aside the previous unhappiness, raised his eyes to look at Xiaozhu, and asked, "How are things going?" ”

Xiao Zhu smiled lightly and said, "Fang Gao, this person is not ordinary, and he can't find any handle on his body. ”

Lord Shen snorted and motioned for him to continue.

If he didn't find something useful, Xiaozhu wouldn't come back now, and he wouldn't be relaxed.

He is the most powerful person around Lu Tong, although he is a guard, he is also arrogant.

He does have the right to be arrogant.

In terms of skill, he is not under Lord Shen, and he is even better at detective kung fu, not only is he smart and clever, but he is also almost as good as the most powerful guard Lu Zhong by General Lu's side.

He is a person specially trained by General Lu for Lu Tong, and it is easy to be a scout general in the army with his strength.

It's a pity that although Lu Tong is not incompetent, he is still a child, and he is used to doing whatever he wants, which makes people have a headache, and he is far from being mature and powerful, so he has no place to use for a while.

Therefore, when he came to Luoxia Town this time, he was very happy that he could be sent out by Lord Shen to inquire about the news.

"Although I don't have a handle, I found out that this Fang Gao has been raising money everywhere for nearly half a year, and I want to participate in the shipping business."

"Sea freight? The nearest port from here, in Guangzhou Mansion, thousands of miles away...... "Lord Shen was stunned.

"What about being far away? This shipping ban for hundreds of years, a few years ago the emperor opened several ports in Guangzhou, Quanzhou, and Ningbo on the grounds of people's livelihood, and this profitable shipping business is in full swing. My Ming Dynasty's porcelain, tea, silk, etc. were shipped out in exchange for overseas treasures, and when they changed hands, they were 100,000 hundreds of thousands of silver, who didn't want to share a cup of soup in it? Lu Tong smiled disappreciably.

Xiao Zhu bowed his head and flattered: "Young master, you are right!" He said to Shen Daren, "I heard that there is a businessman surnamed Mei who does shipping business in Quanzhou Mansion has opened a prosperous foreign treasure shop in our Fucheng, and asked the shopkeeper to privately release that anyone who is interested in participating in the shipping business can contribute money to participate in the shares, and the Mei family is preparing for a new sea ship to leave the port." ”

"It is said that those who are interested in this shipping business are sentenced by Lord Zhao from Fucheng, Master Li from the same knowledge, and the Zhang family of the Na Li family are all interested in participating. Several families secretly sent people to Quanzhou Mansion to inquire about the Mei family, and the Mei businessman also came to Shaozhou Mansion on purpose. When Fang Gao was in Fucheng, he caught up with this big businessman surnamed Mei by convicting Lord Zhao's brother-in-law. ”

"I still don't think there's anything to do. This sea is too far away from us, we can't mess with it, not to mention that there are so many powerful people involved. And if this Fang Gao is why he killed people and set fire to this money-raising thing, it is good to say, as long as he investigates it, he can always find traces, but he doesn't, but would rather sell a few less important industries. Guangde, what do you think? ”

Lord Shen didn't speak, but habitually lowered his eyes and pointed his elbows to the tip of his nose, and entered a state of contemplation.

"Small, I don't know if this clue is useful, the small one is that I think that the shipping profit is high, maybe Lord Chen also got involved, but the risk is big, if something happens, the two may turn against each other for ......money," Xiaozhu pondered.

"You also said it was in case something happened. Let's not say that if nothing happens, even if they definitely have an accident this time, it will take at least a year and a half to know when the ship will leave and when it will return! He moved his chin, pointed at Lord Shen, and said, "Do you think Shen Guangde can wait that long?" ”

Xiaozhu smiled and didn't say anything more.

His most guards only follow orders to find out the news, and as for what to do, it is up to the masters to decide.

"Well, it's a little tricky!" After thinking for a while, Lord Shen pinched his eyebrows and said, "To be able to do this, this person is also admirable." ”

Fang Gao is not Huang Sanzhi and the like, and he can't use the secret tricks behind his back to deal with it.

Huang San belongs to his jurisdiction, and although he is in collusion with the county officials, after all, he is just a person who is attached, and once he loses his value, he will only be abandoned.

But Fang Gao is different.

Not to mention that his sister is quite favored in the county magistrate's mansion, but he himself is also deeply involved with the interests of many people in the county magistrate and the county government, and he can't be said to be taken away.

Now I can only see if Huang San can find useful clues related to him.

If he didn't have it, this Fang Gao really made him unable to start for a while.

Do you really want to start with Chen County's order?

Although it is a little troublesome to bring down Chen Xianling, it is not a difficult task.

Chen County has been an official for many years, and he has been in Qinghe County for six or seven years.

Because of the mountain bandits, he has not been able to get excellent performance evaluations, and no one wants to come to this place where the people are fierce and bandits are rampant.

And the imperial court felt that he stayed in Qinghe County, although he did not have great merit, but he could barely govern this area. If there is a rash change of people, it will not be able to deter the people on this side, so that the number of people who fall into the grass will increase day by day, and it will be even more difficult to end with the Miao chaos in the southwest.

Therefore, Chen County's order seems to have taken root in Qinghe County, the capital of Shaozhou, and he will stay for two or three years, and may stay for another three years.

It is precisely because of this that this Chen County Commander has a very complicated mood for Shen Shen, who has a background.

Not only hated him for ruining his arrangement, but also hoped that he could really destroy the bandits, so that if he moved again, he might be able to leave this mountain nest that bound him.

Lord Shen's train of thought was diverging, but Lu Tong sighed and said, "It seems that if you want to find trouble with this Fang Gao, there is only one hope left for Huang San!" He grinned and said, "Hehe, Shen Guangde, you have touched a hard bone that you can't bite this time!" I'm looking forward to what you're going to do! ”
