Zhu Changning pointed back at the Chen family and Xie Zhan in prison, saying that they sold Xiao Zhuya Island to the Zhu family, and they may have secretly dug the gold mine before, hoping that Qin Cha would investigate the matter strictly.

In the end, Zuo Anmin rejected it on the grounds that his inference was not in line with human nature, saying that no matter who knew that there was a gold mine on his territory, how could he sell the land containing gold mines to others? What else is said that their Zhu family is so counter-accusation, and there is a suspicion of revenge for personal grudges, which is not enough to be believed.

These words made Zhu Changning angry.

After the people of the Zhu family were imprisoned, the Gu family looked up and down, and Gu Huaisheng, the young head of the Gu family, came to the prison to see Zhu Changnian in person.

After some conversation, he left with a heavy heart.

When he came out of the prison, he looked up at the sky in the south, and sighed in his heart, what a tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop.

At this time, the Zhu family's property was being confiscated by the government.

It didn't take long for the list of confiscated property to reach Xie Zhan.

Xie Zhan opened the list and saw that it was recorded: The Zhu family confiscated 113 shops, thousands of hectares of fields, 700,000 taels of silver, and 300,000 stones of grain in six warehouses......

The more Xie Zhan looked at it, the more frowning he became, according to his estimates, the Zhu family's wealth was probably between three and four million taels.

If nothing else, the amount of this grain is not right.

"Patriarch, what's wrong?" Xie Nan asked.

Xie Zhan replied, "Before, Zhu Jiaming had ten warehouses of 500,000 stone grain on his face, and after taking two warehouses of 100,000 stone grain and Ji Wuyin as collateral, there should be 400,000 stone grain left on the surface." But now Zhu Jiaming only has six warehouses of 300,000 stone grain left? ”

In addition, Xie Zhan felt that the Zhu family should still have food secretly, at least two or three hundred thousand stones.

The Xie family used to be a big family, and he knew very well the urine nature of the family, and the property on the surface belonged to the surface, and the property in the secret should be at least one-third of the property on the surface, anyway, it was between one-third and one-half.

However, they didn't copy this part of the property in the Zhu family?

Xie Zhan was very concerned about the part of the grain that the Zhu family was hiding.

The wealth on Zhu Jiaming's face is the emperor's, and it is impossible for him to move it.

Xie Zhan bothered to plan so much, naturally he wanted to eat the meat in the Zhu family's secret. Therefore, when the investigation was carried out, the people who did not use the government were all his people who were secretly investigating.

The problem now is that after the raid of the Zhu family, not only did he not find the grain hidden by the Zhu family, but the grain on the surface was not as expected.

The Zhu family has a lot of silver on their books, but now to solve the crisis in the south, food is more effective than silver.

Xie Zhan knew that he would definitely stay in Nandi. The emperor also knew very well that the Zhu family's grain was huge, and if it was transported back to Chang'an, it would be a long way away, and the loss on the road would be nearly half, which was not cost-effective.

He originally thought that with the grain of the Zhu family, half of the problem in the south would be solved. It's a pity that something is wrong at the moment.

Xie Zhan flipped through the information again and found relevant records, two of the eight warehouses of grain left by the Zhu family were actually taken by Zhu Changnian to use as collateral with Ji Wuyin the day before the Zhu family was besieged?

Two warehouses of grain, 100,000 stones, mortgaged 180,000 taels. What is the difference between this grain and selling it cheaply?

He sensed that something was wrong and instructed Xie Nan, "Let Zuo Anmin ask Ji Wuyin to get the contract." ”

Xie Nan took the order and left.

When he saw that the deadline on the contract was only one day, he laughed angrily.

Xie Zhan stood up expressionlessly, came to the window, and looked at the mountain peaks in the distance, but his mind was constantly running, sorting out his thoughts.

The fruit of his hard work is not as big as he imagined.

He didn't believe that the Zhu family didn't have hidden food.

The more he reviewed it, the more strange the look on Xie Zhan's face became.

This is similar to the technique when the Qin family was exiled, and directly drifted away two or three percent of the family property.

It's just that this matter is related to Ji Wuyin, Ji Wuyin - Xue Guangxian - Liaodong County......

Xie Zhan's eyes narrowed slightly, a thief came in, and he stole the fruits of his hard work.

Now that they are in the Zhu family, they have taken away most of his fruits. The remaining half belonged to the emperor, and he couldn't move.

In other words, he used a trick to bring down the Zhu family, but he didn't catch anything? How can this be?

Regarding Xie Zhan's reaction, Lu Songli and Xue Xu had deduced before they set off for the south, and they also discussed the response if they were exposed. After all, Xie Zhan, as a planner, probably has a good idea of the fish in the target fish pond.

If they steal too much, they will definitely be noticed by Xie Zhan.

What Xie Zhan didn't know was that Xue Xu and they could still use a way to pull away the Zhu family's silver. It's just that they didn't do anything because they were afraid that the wealth on Zhu Jiaming's face had been stared at by the emperor.

They thought very clearly, they were fine picking peaches, but at least they had to make sure that the emperor was full.

Under this premise, they could only rob Xie Zhan's spoils. As for what will happen to Xie Zhan after he is robbed, they don't care, if they can't do it, they will be hungry.

Xie Zhan has always remembered the lesson he learned after helping Song Mo win the throne last time, and after attacking hard, he must return to help.

This time, he has a back hand, just to prevent these from disturbing the situation and competing with him for interests.

He just didn't expect the peach pickers to come so quickly.

Lu Songli, Lu Songli, it is worthy of you, before anyone else reacted, you had already stretched out your hand.

Xie Zhan began to give orders one after another.

"Someone! Send someone to secretly spy on Ji's mansion! ”

He wanted to see who was coming this time!

Xie Zhan felt that it was impossible for Lu Songli to come in person, and even if she wanted to, she would be stopped. Lu Songli is obviously the wisdom of the forces of Liaodong County, and the son of a daughter can't sit down, this is everyone's consensus.

But he thinks that someone who can win Zhu Changnian's trust will definitely not be a small person!

"Let Zuo Anmin give the order to the county guards, block the major city gates, and all the docks!"

"In addition, someone went to the dock to inquire, have there been a large number of goods shipped out in the past two days?"

"Yes!"

It didn't take long for the people who inquired about the news to come back, and through the news reported, Xie Zhan judged that the grain should not have been removed yet.

Xie Zhan sneered, Lu Songli, what if your people have taken benefits? What if you grab a piece of fat?

He wants to catch turtles in urns, and he wants to let this piece of meat rot in the south. In addition, it is better not to come to the southland than the Qin family, otherwise he will want them to fold here!

On this day, Ji Wuyin returned to Ji's mansion from Xue Xu.

Some subordinates whispered to him, "Master, someone is monitoring Jifu." ”

"Huh?"

Later, when he received the news that the city gate and dock were blocked, Ji Wuyin subconsciously thought that this Xie Zhan reacted so fast!

Thinking about Xue Xu, who had moved out of Ji's Mansion to live in a secret place, Ji Wuyin secretly said, the old immortal is right. Xie Zhan was so smart, it is estimated that he has realized something.

It seems that the next time he goes to look for them, he will have to be more cautious to avoid being followed.
