Chapter 29: Retribution for the Adulterous Thief (2)



"Huh? Is there such a thing? Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely surprised, looked at Zhu Wenyu, and felt that this monkey didn't look like he was joking, so he decided: "Okay, since it is related to the Tianyi League, I will leave this matter to you and Wen Can to handle it, Wen Can will find out the news for you, and take you as the leader, and I will find out all of this Liu Shicheng and the Tianyi League!" Give them to me together, and I will be rewarded!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhu Wenyu's words deserved very quickly. Suddenly, it turned into a smile: "Uncle Emperor, do you have tea?" Your old man's good tea will be tasted by the little monkey first, I am so thirsty. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't cry or laugh, and scolded with a smile: "Okay, you're a monkey!" Cao Haiqing, pour tea for you Master Zhu!"

Zhu Wenyu returned to the mansion, he had already arranged it here, the desert was in the mansion to sit in the dispatch, practice martial arts diligently, and the brocade guards who were sent to stare at the Wei Mansion and Xiao Wuya's Mansion would report to Nangong Ling first if they had something, and the beggar disciples who were secretly staring at Zhou Yuan were in charge of dealing with the official palace and the palace of the government, and Tang Yun Maya was practicing martial arts every day. But after a few days, I still haven't heard any useful news, and there are occasionally some people who come and go in these two mansions, and there is nothing abnormal after secretly probing, which makes Zhu Wenyu sometimes can't help but be a little anxious.

For several days in a row, Zhu Wenyu was bored in the house and instructed Tang Yun Maya to practice.

Tang Yun has begun to practice the "Yi Qi Health Recipe", but Tang Yun originally learned the Tang Sect's internal strength, which is quite different from the "Yi Qi Health Recipe" Taoist innate path, if you want to practice this "Yi Qi Health Recipe", you must first slowly absorb and refine the original true power, which is more labor-intensive than re-practicing internal strength, unlike Zhu Wenyu who did not have a little internal strength foundation back then, but it is easier to make progress, but for Tang Yun, it is not necessarily effective to practice for a year or two. For this reason, Zhu Wenyu also hesitated for a long time, and later discussed with Nangong Ling and Zhou Yuan in the desert, Zhou Yuandao is Tang Yun's internal strength is not high anyway, and it doesn't matter if it can't be transformed, even if it takes a year or two, as long as he is on the road of "easy qi health preservation", the future entry is much faster than the internal strength of Tang Gate, and it is still cost-effective in the long run. Only then did Zhu Wenyu make up his mind to teach Tang Yun the internal skills of health preservation. Of course, this is only because Tang Yun's internal strength is not deep, and it is easy to refine, if he is a master like Zhou Yuan Nangong Ling, his internal skills are already quite foundational, and then turning his head to practice this "easy qi health secret" will be a bit more than worth the loss.

Maya because of the last time she saved Zhu Wenyu, she took the "Five Holy Poison Dragon Pill", and the meridians of her whole body were all greatly damaged, even Zhang Wuji was helpless, and she couldn't practice internal skills, so Zhao Min passed on her countless exquisite sword moves of various major sects, if only in terms of moves, Zhu Wenyu Nangong Ling Zhou Yuan was not her opponent, Zhu Wenyu herself had nothing to teach her, so she had to go on the field as a sword target to accompany Maya to feed the moves, with his "rebound body method" of advancing and retreating, and Maya fighting, Occasionally, some whimsical ideas come up with some strange tricks and let Maya try them quickly, and after a few days, Maya will know a few more new moves, but these sword moves that Zhu Wenyu came up with are all strange and strange moves, even Zhou Yuan Nangong Ling was surprised when he saw it on the side, Zhou Yuan just smiled bitterly and shook his head: "This stinky boy, a good big girl's family, was taught by you to even make the sword a little monkey." ”

On this day, Zhu Wenyu was practicing with Tang Yun and Maya in the courtyard, and suddenly heard Xiao Gaozi hurriedly come to report: "Young Master, He Ye is here again." ”

"Oh? Please, please!" Zhu Wenyu said happily. There was no news after seeing this He Wencan last time, but since Zhu Yuanzhang drank Zhu Wenyu in one gulp last time to investigate Xiao Wuya's mansion, Zhu Wenyu knew that this He Wencan was by no means a busy person, and this time Lord He must have brought some useful news again, so he hurriedly called for it.

"Lord Zhu." He Wencan is still the same, not wearing an official uniform, dressed as a scholar, and when he saw Zhu Wenyu, he gave his hand.

"Brother He, come, come, sit, sit." As soon as Zhu Wenyu opened his mouth, he was already a brother: "Brother He is here, there must be some good news, right?" ”

"Brother Zhu has won the award." He Wencan is worthy of being a veteran of officialdom, and he has changed his name casually, but He Wencan is nearly forty years old, and Zhu Wenyu is only twenty, and the word "brother" is really reluctant, but it is just a title on the scene: "By the emperor's holy order, He Mou was ordered to assist Brother Zhu in investigating the movements of the suspected party of the Tianyi League, and He Mou has been sending people to keep an eye on the Wei Mansion and the Xiao Mansion for the past few days. No movement was observed. ”

"Oh." Zhu Wenyu was disappointed.

"But ......" He Wencan deliberately turned.

Sure enough, Zhu Wenyu was in good spirits, and hurriedly asked, "But what?" ”

"Someone has a piece of news."

"Brother He, don't hang my appetite, say it quickly, what news?" Zhu Wenyu stared at He Wencan anxiously.

"Yan Yang, the deputy chief soldier of the Yingtianfu Tiger Ben Army stationed at the north gate of the capital, secretly came to report that it was five days ago, and there were three big cars from the north gate of Sihai Qianzhuang for three consecutive days, and the cars were loaded with more than ten wooden boxes, which were very heavy, and it seemed that they might be loaded with gold and silver."

"Five days ago? Why do you report now? Zhu Wenyu said.

"This Xiao Mansion's Sihai Money Village is a money dealer to trade, and it is not uncommon for a large amount of silver money to be transported, and according to Yan Yang's report, Xiao Wuya, the owner of the Sihai Money Village, has a very close relationship with Mao Zhiyong, another deputy general soldier stationed at the north gate, and has close contacts, so it has not been blocked, nor has it been registered."

"Do you want to make a register of such things?"

"Valuable goods in and out of the city gate must be registered to pay taxes, not to make a register is tax evasion, this kind of thing is not uncommon, many large families, some powerful, some powerful, do not pay taxes through the city gate, should be Tianfu can not afford to provoke, the court does not care much about the tax on the city gate, even if it is a big deal, it is just a crime of tax evasion, pay some taxes and silver, but offend people, so most of them have been turned a blind eye. That Xiao Wuya and Mao Zhiyong got along, did not register to pay taxes, and stuffed Yan Yang with some silver, and it passed. ”

"Then how do you report it now?" Zhu Wenyu was still puzzled.

"This Yan Yang's cousin-in-law works in Jinyiwei, and today he drank with his cousin-in-law and said that Jinyiwei is staring at Xiao Wuya now, and it is a big case approved by the emperor, so Yan Yang was afraid of causing trouble, so he reported it to me." He Wencan said lightly.

"Nine cars in three days? Each one is heavy? If it is really gold and silver, Brother He, how much silver will it be? Although Zhu Wenyu felt that this money must be a lot, he didn't have much concept of it after all, so he asked carefully.

"If it's silver, it's no less than two million taels, if it's gold, it's worth no less than 10 million taels of silver, if it's jade jewelry, as the saying goes, gold has a price, jade is priceless, then it's hard to say, tens of millions of taels are uncertain." He Wencan seemed to be indifferent at all when he said these figures, and he didn't care at all.

"So much?!" Zhu Wenyu stuck out his tongue: "This Xiao Wuya is really a rich man, and he deserves to be a money banker." ”

"Even if he opened a bank, he couldn't accumulate so much money, not to mention that it was impossible for him to close the bank and transfer all the principal." With a faint and quiet voice, the desert had come out of the back room.

"This ...... I don't know if it's Sha Shaoxia or Nangong Shaoxia. He Wencan stood up and hugged his fists. He obviously had a general understanding of the people in Zhu Wenyu's mansion, but he didn't tell which one was the desert and which was Nangong Ling.

"Don't dare, don't dare, under the surname Sha, Lord He is shrewd and capable, and he can't hide any movement from Lord He, and he is worthy of being the emperor's henchman." The desert returned the salute.

"Brother Sha is really awarded, He has nothing to do except inquire about some unimportant news, how can he be like Brother Sha who is reborn with a wisdom pearl?" He Wencan quietly sent a high hat over, and his words showed that although he didn't know the desert, he knew a lot about the things in Zhu Wenyu's house, otherwise he wouldn't have said anything like "Zhuge rebirth" in the desert.

"Hehe, okay, okay, it's all your own family, so you don't have to say polite words." Zhu Wenyu beckoned again and again: "Come on, Eagle, Brother He, let's discuss the matter of this Mr. Xiao, Boss Xiao, Xiao Dongjia, Xiao Wuya." ”

"This Sha Shaoxia is right, this Xiao Wuya does have a problem, it is unlikely that ordinary money will come out with so much silver at once, unless it is the shop that closes Zhang Daji and escapes, and then counts the principal, it is almost the same, but if there is so much principal, I will not think about closing the shop. When I heard the news, I asked people to check the Four Seas Money Village and the Four Seas Pawnshop, both of which were open as usual, no different from usual, and there was no intention of closing them at all. Although Sihai Qianzhuang has three branches outside Beijing, it is impossible to transport so much silver out at once and vacate the main number. ”

"What does Brother He mean?" Zhu Wenyu stared at He Wencan and asked.

"The amount of money is too large and of dubious origin." He Wencan frowned and thought: "If it is really as Brother Zhu said, this Xiao Wuya has something to do with the Tianyi Alliance, then the origin of this huge amount of money is self-evident." ”

Zhu Wenyu looked at the desert, and the desert nodded quietly, "Destroy the door!"

In the past few years, there have been no less than dozens of cases of extermination cases in various places, the victims are all local rich gentry, dozens of members of the family have all been killed, mixed with the rape of female dependents, all the cases of extermination have a common feature is that all the floating wealth of the house has been looted, and they do not know where to go, the robbers are obviously here to rob the money, as for the destruction of the door is just to extinguish the mouth, the rape is just a convenient thing, not a murder for sex. Later, I learned from the mouth of the "Blood Knife Desperate" Du Feng that these extermination cases were all committed by those dragon slaying killers of the Tianyi League, but the looted property has not been known.

"It's been five days, and I can't catch up, where are they going to ship?" Zhu Wenyu turned his head and asked He Wencan.

"It may not be impossible to catch up in five days, but I don't know where they are going, and if we do, we will hurry and go straight to where they must pass, and we will be able to catch up. I don't know if you have any news? The desert looked at He Wencan as he spoke.
