Several people in the hall had different expressions, but their eyes were all bright.

Jin Yuan looked at them, and his heart chilled, these people were all waiting to find an opportunity for their Jin family.

The father and son of the Jin family looked at everyone blankly, and they didn't seem to know why there was such a dark grid, and then they thought of something, and their faces changed quickly.

Zhao Shan, who was in a hurry, directly squatted down and opened the dark grid.

Jin Ingot carefully observed the expressions of the people in the room, but unfortunately he didn't find anything, so he could only regret it in his heart.

It seems that the person behind the scenes is hiding very deeply, and too, the other party will not show his feet in this kind of place.

"Cut." There was a deep sense of disappointment in Zhao Shan's voice, because the things in the dark grid were not unsightly, but some jewelry, not as expensive as they looked, but also worth some money.

"The family is unfortunate, before the old man found out that his brother secretly hid the goods and sold them as private property, I thought he was only hiding a little, but I didn't expect to make any secret compartments on the ship? Let you see the joke. ”

The gold ingots seemed to be very ashamed, and the others were noncommittal.

It turned out that the gold ingots turned over all the planks of the ship overnight, and found a lot of wrought iron, but they didn't dare to keep it, so they threw it all into the sea, for fear of leaving evidence.

It's just that as soon as he finished speaking, there was a noise outside, and it turned out that someone anonymously reported that there was smuggling contraband in the Jin family's boat.

"Poor master, is there a misunderstanding?"

The leading official was Chengzhang, an official of the Shuntian Mansion, and when he entered the door, he felt that everything was definitely unfavorable today.

"I've seen you."

Cheng Zhang saluted Qin Xuanmo and the others, and he was assessing the attitude of these princes towards the Jin family.

"How could the people of Shuntianfu come to the ship? There was a lot of noise outside just now, what happened? ”

The prince who came on behalf of the royal family spoke out, and he was the only one who was appropriate to come forward at this time.

"Back to the prince, someone reported that the Jin family was smuggling prohibited items, and we adults attach great importance to it, so let the little one bring someone to investigate."

Regardless of the attitude of the people present, he first showed that they were serious and responsible, after all, there is always nothing wrong with trying to do their job well.

"Oh? Really? Prohibited items? That's a big deal.

Ladies and gentlemen, according to this king, whether this matter is true or not, let the Shuntian Mansion check it. ”

"Naturally, we can be a witness." Jin Tianming said.

"Misunderstanding, it's all misunderstanding, our Jin family has absolutely no smuggling? Don't know who reported it? Is there any evidence? ”

Jin Yuan Bao asked, after all, their Jin family also has a head and a face, and they are smuggled by anyone who comes to report it, where can Jin Yuan Bao agree?

"Master Jin, the person who reported it is your second master's little servant.

He said that the second master learned that Master Jin was smuggling, and you were found by Master Jin, and now you don't know whether you are alive or dead.

In order to save the second master of the Jin family, he had no way to report the case. ”

It is natural to say that the eldest master of the Jin family wants to harm the second master for no reason, so there must be a reason.

The reason is that the second master knows a secret that cannot be said, and he wants to be extinguished.

As a loyal servant, that little guy had to report to the official, which is reasonable, and the father and son of the gold ingots almost believed it.

"Bad master, it's all slander, my second brother's private pockets were found by me, and the person who complained made up some lies.

Don't believe it, I accidentally injured Concubine Yan Shi before, and there are some jewels in the secret compartment on the ship, and there is really no forbidden thing. Error-free updates @"

"We have to investigate this, that little guy didn't just rely on one mouth, but also came up with evidence, otherwise our adults wouldn't have sent us, and we asked Master Jin to cooperate."

Chengzhang said that everything had to be checked, if there were no princes today, he might not care, but with so many pairs of eyes watching, he must enforce the law impartially, he is such a serious and responsible person.

"This? Please be careful, after all, my ship's stuff is worth a fortune. ”

"This is natural, don't worry, Master Jin."

Chengzhang sent someone to start searching, because some secret compartments had been found, so the investigation was very fast, and indeed he didn't find anything that the little guy said, and he heard the voice of his subordinates just when he wanted to leave.

"Head, there is a discovery.

。 ”

The gold ingot's face changed, it was impossible, he had found all the places, there would be no omissions, could it be that someone put it on again?

"Where?" Cheng Zhang was stunned, is there really something?

"Head, what do you see this fat powder?"

The official who spoke took out a box of fat powder, because it had not been packaged in a box, and there were a lot of things in this big box.

Remove the upper layer of things, and reveal the crystal white stuff inside, this is salt?

"Master Jin, how do you explain this thing?"

"I really don't know about this."

Jin Yuan didn't expect that his good second brother not only got wrought iron, but also private salt?

This box of rouge gouache, looking at a lot of it, suddenly looked very ugly, and so did the Jin Yutang next to it.

"Master Jin, let's briefly estimate this thing, there are about two hundred catties, all of which are refined salt.

If you don't have a salt lead, we must handle this matter strictly, and ask Master Jin to come with us. ”

Salt and iron are all controlled by the state, and people are not allowed to trade privately, especially if there is still a lot of this amount, it cannot be let go.

"My lord, this thing was purchased by my second uncle, and the salt should be in his hands.

He is in the ancestral hall now, why don't I go with you, and my father will go back to investigate what happened, so that he can give you an explanation?

You can rest assured that our Jin family has absolutely no illegal behavior, and the Jin family has been reputed here for so many years. ”

"Master Jin, I'm afraid this won't work, after all, someone has sued Master Jin, and we can only arrest him."

"Sue me for smuggling smuggled salt?" Jin Yuan asked.

"This?" Chengzhang looked at the people around him, no one seemed to have any expression, and after thinking about it, he still gave the Jin family face.

"No, the other party said that you smuggled wrought iron."

Jin Yuan Bao and Jin Yutang glanced at each other, it seemed that the second master Jin didn't know everything about things.

Now only private salt has been found, and the Jin family has such a thing as salt, and it can still be maneuvered, but I am afraid that the people behind the scenes will move more hands and feet. @·error-free start~~

And if you don't find wrought iron, it can also be said to be a false accusation, and there is room for mitigation, so you have to be steady.

"Yutang, you go back first, ask the clan elders to let them interrogate your second uncle, you must find out the truth, Dad will go to Shuntian Mansion first, I believe that Shuntian Mansion will not wronged Dad."

Everyone, I'm sorry, this kind of thing happened, when the time is over, we will go to your house in person to apologize, and please believe that at home, the Jin family has always adhered to the principle of businessmen, and the misunderstanding will be explained clearly soon. ”

Jin Ingot is worthy of being the helmsman of the Jin family, and he is still graceful at this time, and he doesn't even forget to convey the message to everyone that the Jin family must be fine.

Qin Xuanmo and the others naturally nodded, waiting for the follow-up.
