She didn't anxiously ask Pei Shao where the golden balls were hidden, but looked at him calmly, as if she was considering whether what he said was true or false, but Pei Shao seemed to know what Xu Junze and Xiao Chen hadn't found out, which made her more curious about Pei Shao's true identity.

"Mrs. Xu doesn't want to know?" Pei Shao laughed jokingly, Lin Shuran's shock was only for a moment, and then she behaved very calmly and rationally, which also made Pei Shao admire, there are not many women in the back house who can have such determination.

"I naturally want to know, who in this world doesn't want to know, I'm just curious, I heard that the Ren family has a lot of gold balls, which is a lot of money, why did Pei Shao choose to tell outsiders instead of taking it for his own use?" Lin Shuran sat down again in a relaxed tone and looked at Pei Shao with a smile and quipped, of course, there was a sincere temptation in these words.

Pei Shao showed a look of disdain and said: "There are only two kinds of greed for money in the world, one is that nature is like this, and the other is that there is no or lacking, so seeing gold and silver things is like a hungry ghost seeing food, greedy and bound to ask for possession, and I am different, I have never been good at yellow and white things, of course, the most important thing is that I have, and there are a lot, I just don't like to do loss-making transactions, and I don't like to be calculated and not fight back." ”

Pei Shao's words are not insignificant, Lin Shuran thought about how much gold and silver he had to say such confident words, when he caught Liang Shunzhong, the second housekeeper of Ling Wang's Mansion before, he could get the gold balls of the Ren family from his mouth There are two big boxes, but they are not the kind of boxes with 100 catties common in the Jin Dynasty, but two oversized wooden boxes with a full weight of 100,000 taels of gold.

One hundred thousand taels of gold is by no means a small amount, and it is enough to make people who see it greedy, otherwise Liang Shunzhong would not have betrayed his master to steal and risk losing his life to rub oil from it.

Listening to the meaning of Pei Shao's words, it seemed that it was because King Ling had calculated him, and he was unwilling, so he wanted to tell Lin Shuran this secret.

"Since Pei Gongzi doesn't look down on these golden balls, I'm really interested, where are they hidden by King Ling?" Lin Shuran said his thoughts very frankly, and it was this kind of openness that caused Pei Shao to smile again.

"Yaoguang Pavilion!" Pei Shao said these three words to Lin Shuran, and then said meaningfully, "As long as Mrs. Xu finds the true owner of Yaoguang Pavilion, she will be able to find the whereabouts of those golden balls!" ”

Yaoguang Pavilion? The largest gold, silver and jade shop in the capital, but its owner has always been very mysterious, Lin Shuran was skeptical, whether the missing golden balls of the Ren family were related to the owner behind Yaoguang Pavilion, she still had to investigate to determine.

Pei Shao left the capital after saying goodbye to Lin Shuran, and after Lin Shuran came back from the Chengnan Grange, when he saw Xu Junze again, he told Xu Junze what Pei Shao said.

After thinking about it, Xu Junze wanted people to find Pei Shao again to ask clearly, but he didn't think that after Pei Shao left the capital, he would never be able to find his trace again, and this person seemed to have disappeared suddenly overnight.

Next, both Xu Junze and Lin Shuran took the matter of the owner behind Yaoguang Pavilion to heart, and they also secretly sent their own people to investigate, but the shopkeeper of Yaoguang Pavilion was very strict, and he could not find out who his owner was.

Xiao Chen is also investigating the affairs of Yaoguang Pavilion, since meeting Xu Junze in Dengchuan Tower that day, the two of them have vaguely reached some kind of tacit understanding, and they have begun to cooperate in the investigation of the case, so Xiao Chen is responsible for investigating everything related to the case on the surface, and Xu Junze will help him in secret, only hoping to find out the truth of all the cases as soon as possible.

Xu Junze also wanted to take the opportunity to test Xu Minghan, so he revealed to him that the Ren family's golden ball might be related to Yaoguang Pavilion, but he didn't expect that only a few days later, Xu Minghan accidentally found out who the owner of Yaoguang Pavilion was.

"Who is it?" Lin Shuran was also very curious, so many things that adults couldn't find out with great effort, but she didn't expect Xu Minghan, a twelve-year-old boy, to find out, she really felt incredible, and for the first time began to see the strength of her stepson, maybe Xu Junze was right, this child was more powerful than she imagined.

Xu Minghan originally came to tell Xu Junze, and the father and son met in the study, but Xu Junze invited Lin Shuran as well, as if he didn't want to hide this matter from her.

Xu Minghan privately didn't want Lin Shuran to get involved in these things, the big and small things in the house made her worry enough, he felt very sorry for her, hoped that she would be more idle and less tired, and he didn't want to let his affairs make her worry and worry, even if he knew that his mother was very powerful in terms of both heart and ability, but men's affairs should be handled by men, and women should not be involved.

However, Xu Junze is his father, and since he decided to inform Lin Shuran about this, he also has his considerations, so he won't say anything.

So, Xu Minghan said to the two: "The original owner of Yaoguang Pavilion was the old owner of the Ma family in southern Xinjiang, and later Yaoguang Pavilion became more and more famous in the capital, and it didn't take long for the owner to change people and become King Ling, I don't know if the Ma family gave Yaoguang Pavilion to King Ling, or King Ling used some means to rob Yaoguang Pavilion, the owner behind Yaoguang Pavilion for so many years is King Ling." ”

Xu Junze fell silent after hearing this, in fact, he had already guessed this result, but Lin Shuran had doubts on her face, she thought about it, and said loudly: "I don't think something is wrong, Pei Shao said that if you find the real owner of Yaoguang Pavilion, you can find out the whereabouts of those golden balls, but the real owner of Yaoguang Pavilion is King Ling, and King Ling was killed, so those golden balls still can't be found, will the golden balls have become all kinds of gold in Yaoguang Pavilion?" ”

Lin Shuran said it is not unreasonable, Xu Junze and Xu Minghan father and son glanced at each other, it seems that the matter of Yaoguang Pavilion will continue to be investigated, King Ling is dead, but Yaoguang Pavilion is still welcoming guests normally, and it seems that it is not affected at all, does this mean that the real owner of Yaoguang Pavilion has already changed from King Ling to someone else?

However, before they could continue to investigate the matter, news suddenly came from the Criminal Department, saying that there was already key evidence about the inexplicably lost huge silver when the Ren family was confiscated, showing that they were all greedy for ink by the then minister Ling Wang, and King Ling was afraid that the matter would be revealed and involved himself, so he pushed everything on Fang Lao's imperial history Fang E, as for the person who assassinated him, the Criminal Department also found out that it was a group of Jianghu people who were responsible for helping Ling Wang Yunyin back then, and it should have killed Ling Wang because of the uneven distribution of the spoils.

Within two days, the Fang family was also escorted back to the Imperial History Mansion by the Dragon Armor Guard, and many people and officials also appeared outside the Fang family's door, but Fang Lao's Imperial History Fang E asked people to close the door tightly, and there were no guests!
