Chapter 674: The Grain Robbery Tragedy (19)

Looking at Yan Yin, Ye Qingchen and Lin Qing'er, Xia Han said slowly, " The grain robbery tragedy is a planned and organized conspiracy, their purpose is not for the batch of grain and grass, the grain and grass are just their means to cover up people's ears, their real purpose is to destroy the Qingqing family, the executor is Mu Feng, the second son of the city lord of Fenghua City, that is, the younger brother of General Mu Shi under you, and the black-clothed team was gathered by the elite disciples of some families, and handed over to Mu Feng to train in secret, the ghost wolf was purchased by the Su family from the hands of General Yang Er, as for why it fell into the hands of Mu Feng, Duan Yan is currently conducting the final investigation. ”

After a pause, Xia Hanqing said again" In addition to these families, General Yang Er and General Mu Shi were also implicated without knowing it, in addition, the whereabouts of Qingqing's family were revealed by a person named Lu Jun in the black pupils, and General Yang Er, his logistics army has been handed over to his deputy general Chang Lin, and Yang Er himself is not known whereabouts, according to the investigation, it was the lynx and the monkey in the black pupil who passed the news to him, and heard Duan Yan say that these two people are Yang Er's brothers。 ”

"Twenty-three families. Ye Qingchen was startled and said in a low voice, "How can there be so many." ”

"These families are the main players, and there are some smaller families behind them that are not counted among them. Xia Hanqing explained,

Yan Yin said in a condensed voice, "Uncle Hanqing, you just said that it was a leak named Lu Jun to Mu Feng and them, right?" ”

Nodding, looking at Yan Yin, Xia Hanqing said slowly, "Yes." ”

"Lu Jun......" Yan Yin looked at Ye Qingchen with his fists clenched and said, "Qingchen, please go and bring Lu Jun here, I want to know, why did he do this." ”

Lu Jun was met when Yan Yin went north to save people in Duan Sanchi's town, and later Lu Jun joined his army, and then he was assigned to Shifang as a subordinate, and finally became a member of the Black Pupil,

But he didn't expect that Lu Jun would actually help Mu Feng and them as accomplices, which eventually led to the death of Liu Qingyan and Mingyu, and Liu Lao also died of illness due to Liu Qingyan's death.

Ye Qingchen was about to respond, Xia Hanqing said, "No need to go, Lu Jun was taken to Su Mansion by Duan Yan, and when Duan Yan comes, you will all understand the truth of this matter." ”

"Su Fu. Yan Yin's brows tightened, and then he looked at Xia Hanqing and said, "Uncle Hanqing, you just said that Yang Er didn't know where to go." ”

Nodding, Xia Hanqing said, "Before we found him, he handed over the logistics army to Chang Lin to manage, and he himself went to other places, Duan Yan asked Chang Lin, but he didn't tell us where Yang Er went." ”

"Second Brother Yang, he sold ghost wolves to the Su family, do you know the reason. Lin Qing'er opened her mouth and asked, "Second Brother Yang, he is a good person and has helped us before." ”

When Yan Yin followed Fang Xue and Lin Qing'er to the Southern Academy not long after Yan Yin first came out of the Yanyun Mountain Range, he met Yang Er and them in a place called Ten Mile Canyon, and when they encountered robbers, it was Yang Er and his brothers who protected them, so Lin Qing'er was still very familiar with Yang Er.

According to Duan Yan's investigation, the reason why Yang Er sold ghost wolves to the Su family was because he was buying food for the army in front of him. Xia Hanqing opened his mouth and said, "From common sense, Yang Er only gave indirect help to Mu Feng and those people without knowing it. ”

Ye Qingchen said, "The most important thing at present is how those ghost wolves fell into the hands of Mu Feng from the hands of the Su family, according to the rules set by Mo Wuru when he sold ghost wolves, the more ghost wolves he bought, the higher the price, two thousand ghost wolves, without a million taels of silver, he can't buy them, the Su family is the largest caravan in Northern Xinjiang, and it makes sense to buy ghost wolves to transport loads, but it is a little unusual to spend so much money to buy so many ghost wolves at one time." ”

Nodding, Lin Qing'er spoke, " Sister Qingchen is right, one million taels of silver is not a small amount, although the Su family has a big business, but after all, it is not the head of the four major business groups, after Yanjing was plundered by Fengyunxiao nearly seventy percent of the property, the Su family is not even as good as the Yang family and the Ling family, but at this time they are willing to take out a million silver taels to buy two thousand ghost wolves, which is not in line with Su Jinghong's business methods over the years, I have learned that when Su Jinghong was the Minister of Finance in the empire, the Su family adopted a steady and conservative approach to doing business, so as to maintain its position as the head of the four major business groups in the empire, with his experience and vision in businessIt is impossible to change his conservative and steady business style after entering Northern Xinjiang, otherwise, he would not have given up his right as Minister of Finance to take the Su family to Northern Xinjiang when the empire showed chaos. ”

After a deep sigh, Yan Yin said coldly, "Zhao Qing'er, if you say this, this is indeed not like Su Lao's means, but now the head of the Su family is Su Xipo, Su Lao can't, it doesn't mean that he Su Xipo won't." ”

Sioux House,

Today's Su Mansion is much smaller and more low-key than the Su Mansion where Yan Yin returned to the north of the town.

Since the magnificent and luxurious Su Mansion was ordered by Yan Yin to be ruthlessly demolished, Su Jinghong and his wife Mi Xin moved out of the Su family and bought a medium-sized mansion in the north of the town to live in.

And Su Xipo and the other children of the Su family each bought a mansion in the north of the town to live in, but if there is anything important in the Su family, the members of the Su family will still come to the Su Mansion where Su Jinghong is located for some discussion.

At this time, the atmosphere in Su Mansion was a little dignified,

In the hall of the Su Mansion, there were not many people sitting,

Su Jinghong and Su Xipo are there, Duan Yan and Lu Jun are also among them,

In addition to them, Mo Wuru was also present,

"Susipo, you beast, who made you do this? Su Jinghong, who had always looked kind, looked at Su Xipo with anger on his face, and scolded angrily: "You know, I don't know what you did." ”

Su Xipo looked up at Su Jinghong and said in a deep voice, "I don't think I'm at fault, I did all this just to let the Su family return to its former prosperity." ”

As he spoke, Su Xipo looked at Duan Yandao Yes, the ghost wolf was purchased by me from Yang second-hand, and it cost 1.2 million taels of silver, of which 800,000 taels are where the families you said are located, and the remaining 400,000 taels are from me, we have negotiated, after the matter is completed, I will leave a thousand ghost wolves, and the rest of the major families, Mu Feng is contacted by them, the people are from them, the weapons are made by them, and I asked people to contact Lu Jun, and the news of Qingqing's house is also what I learned from his mouth, I am now a wasted person, what do you want to do with it is up to you. ”

Let's say, Su Xipo glanced at Lu Jun who was bowing his head and Mo Wuru who was looking at him calmly, and finally looked at Su Jinghong and said, "The Su family is no longer the Su family that used to be, my biggest mistake is to treat Northern Xinjiang as Yanjing, you are still regarded as the Minister of Finance, and Yanying as a protective umbrella." ”

Looking at Su Xipo, Su Jinghong was about to say something, only to see Su Xipo look up to the sky and laugh, and then strode out,

Seeing this, Duan Yan got up and said, "Old Su, the matter has been clearly understood, and I also need to report the situation to the commander." ”

After a pause, Duan Yan said, "The young lady is a good person, all of us don't want the relationship between the young lady and the commander to change because of the Su family's affairs, if you really want the young lady to be good, then take care of the Su family." ”

After speaking, Duan Yan took Lu Jun and turned around and left,

Watching Duan Yan leave, Su Jinghong finally looked at Mo Wuru,

For Mo Wuru, Su Jinghong has no good feelings, after all, Su Mansion was demolished by Mo Wuru, and from the bottom of his heart, Su Jinghong looks down on Mo Wuru, a slave with three surnames.

However, at this time, when the Su family was about to be difficult to protect, Su Jinghong couldn't help pinning his hopes on Mo Wuru,

"City Lord Mo, you are Yan Yin's most advantageous subordinate, can you ......" Su Jinghong's words were not finished, Mo Wuru got up and said, "It's not too early, and Ruthless is going to retire." ”

Su Jinghong was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned red, looking a little angry,

Walking to the door of the hall, Mo ruthlessly stopped, turned his back to Su Jinghong and said, "The general has returned to Zhenbei City, he is Yan Yin recalled to deal with the grain hoarding of the major families, and General Xueli is also leading the army to the north, he is dealing with the grain robbery tragedy, the two generals went out at the same time, it can be seen that Yan Yin is concerned about these two things, and it just so happens that the Su family is involved in both things, in this northern Xinjiang, in the end, there can only be one family, That is the Yan family, and it just so happens that Yan Yin is not a person who pursues power and status, so although he is now the Marquis of Dingbei, he still only lives in the General's Mansion, not the Yan Mansion, and he is a big man, I think Su Lao understands this truth better than me. ”

After speaking, Mo ruthlessly turned around and left Su Mansion,

Looking at the back of Mo ruthlessly leaving, Su Jinghong suddenly fell into deep thought,

"The tree is a big move, and our Su family does have some tricks. Su Jinghong sighed and said, "Su family...... What to save you this time. ”

General's Mansion Hall,

Yan Yin glanced at Lu Jun beside Duan Yan, and after he lowered his head with shame, Yan Yin looked at Duan Yan and said, "Sit down and say, tell me more from beginning to end." ”

Nodding, Duan Yan sat aside, glanced at Lin Qing'er, Ye Qingchen and Xia Hanqing, who heard the news, and then said, "Here's how things happened......

Under Duan Yan's narration, Yan Yin understood the truth of this,

When the plague of foreign beasts occurred in northern Xinjiang, the major families in northern Xinjiang hoarded a lot of grain and grass, because the strange beasts were rampant, so that the people could not farm, so the grain production was reduced a lot, in this case, grain and grass became a very important commercial commodity.

However, after the stability of northern Xinjiang, Mo ruthless and authorized the joint formulation of a series of measures, so that the agriculture in northern Xinjiang quickly recovered, so that the grain and grass of the major families had no market for a while.

In the end, the major families looked at Yan Yin's black-clothed army, and prepared to sell grain and grass to the black-clothed army in order to get cash.

Because Yan Yin forcibly extorted tens of millions of silver taels from the major families before, the assets of the major families who had just experienced the plague of foreign beasts shrank significantly.

It was originally a good idea, but in the end it was given a horizontal bar by the Qingqing family.

The Qingqing family buys grain from within the empire to send grain to the black-clothed army, so that the grain in the granaries of the major families has to continue to be stacked, but because it has been stacked for too long, some grain and grass have begun to mold and deteriorate.

After some deliberation, the families decided to consume the grain.

The way they consume it is very simple, that is, secretly train a group of guards, and then consume the grain and grass.

But Yan Yin has strict orders, the number of guards of the major families is strictly controlled, and the head of the guards of each family is a soldier who came out of Yan Yin's black-clothed army.

In this case, it is not easy to train a group of escorts of your own.
