Ju Chen chose high-end restaurants and teahouses.
Mr. Lan is not accessible to ordinary people.
But the wealthy businessmen here have heard of this name.
In the city of Hangzhou, there is a consensus among the business circles that when encountering Mr. Lan, they must stay out of the way and give way.
Although no one has ever seen Young Master Lan, this concept has already been deeply rooted in people's hearts.
Everyone once thought that Mr. Lan was the sky in Hangzhou City, a being who could turn his hands into clouds and rain.
"Impossible? Can you beat Mr. Lan?"
Faced with Ju Chen's instigation, several wealthy businessmen sitting at the next table in the restaurant didn't believe it.
"Haha, is there still a lie?"
Ju Chen pointed at himself and said arrogantly: "If you had seen Mr. Lan, you would have found that he has a few missing teeth. I beat them."
This was so frightening that other drinkers saw Ju Chen being so bold and did not dare to talk to him for fear of getting angry.
It doesn't matter whether they believe it or not.
The main purpose of staying in Chen is to attract Mr. Lan's attention.
He was still sitting there drinking wine, talking nonsense, and kept saying that he had pressed Mr. Lan to the ground and rubbed him.
Sure enough, someone quickly spread the news and reached Mr. Lan.
Not long after, Mr. Lan led a hundred people to the downstairs of the restaurant.
Ju Chen was sitting next to the window and happened to see Mr. Lan arrive in person. He waved downwards, "Hey, Mr. Lan is here in person. How are you eating these days? Can't you bite the food? Eat soft food?"
Lan Nao'er was downstairs and saw someone humiliating him in public, and he was so angry that he almost went crazy.
"Catch him! If you catch this person, you will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold!!"
As soon as the words fell, a hundred people jumped in and rushed into the restaurant.
"Master Lan, it's not easy to catch me. If you can't catch me, I will spread your scandal throughout Yangzhou City!"
After saying that, Ju Chen smiled slightly, climbed out of the window, and climbed to the roof with an easy jump.
After a few jumps, he kept changing positions on the roof of the building, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
This is what makes Ye Bu Sheng Ju Chen so arrogant. He is so good at Qinggong that he can step on the snow without leaving a trace.
Without this ability, it would be impossible to become King Yan's confidant.
"Damn it, where are the people?"
The 100 people who rushed in reached the third floor of the tavern and rushed to nothing.
Lan Nao'er downstairs cursed: "Trash, that person ran to the roof, find me quickly!"
These people glanced at the wealthy businessmen present and said coldly: "I will treat everything you heard and saw today as if you didn't hear or see it. Anyone who talks nonsense will be thrown into the river to feed the fish!"
How dare those businessmen raise their heads? They were so frightened that they lowered their heads and remained silent.
At the same time, I thought to myself, could what that guy just said be true?
Immediately afterwards, these people climbed out of the window and climbed to the top of the building, only to find that no one was visible.
They wanted to try jumping to another roof, but soon many people fell down and fell on their backs.
How could they catch him all night long without harvesting him?
No matter how strong they are, it doesn't matter. Each of these people is a good player in the army.
But specializing in the art industry is equivalent to asking a boxer to compete with a parkour master. No matter how good the boxer is, he will not be able to outrun the parkour master and will only fall to death.
Soon, three people fell to death, and others did not dare to go to the roof and came down one after another.
"Trash, trash!"
Lan Naoer kicked his feet angrily, but there was nothing he could do.
The confidants beside him said: "Your Majesty, this man is fearless and has great Qinggong skills."
Lan Nao'er said angrily: "This person is indeed very powerful. He was able to match ten with one that day. I didn't expect Qinggong to be so powerful. He is really a loach."
Lan Nao'er also knew in his heart that this man was very skilled.
On that day, almost all of the people on my ship were generals at the level of Qianhu and count.
Nothing can stop this person.
But I didn’t expect Qing Gong to be so powerful.
"Damn, it doesn't matter if he's good at Qinggong. Since he's in Yangzhou City, it's easy to handle. I don't believe I can't catch him!! I've set up a dragnet and put people in all the restaurants and teahouses for me!"
Lan Nao'er ordered, "In addition, give me a command to ask the generals of the guard station who are searching outside the city to take everyone back to Hangzhou City and close the city gate for me immediately. No one is allowed to enter or exit!"
As long as we close the city gate, catch the turtle in the urn, and send all the people back, are we still afraid that we won't be able to catch him?
"Yes! I will do it now."
The subordinate immediately rode on horseback to do the work.
In almost half a day, the soldiers and horses who were searching outside the city returned to Yangzhou City.
Nearly 100,000 soldiers were searching Yangzhou City!
The whole city of Yangzhou was in a state of chaos.
"This is really a good plan by Li Xiao. Lan Nao'er completely fell into the trap of luring the tiger away from the mountain."
At this time, Ji Gang and others, who were in the dark, were also observing all this secretly.
"I saw it just now. That person is not Li Xiao at all, but his skills are extremely good. His Qing Kung is not even comparable to that of Suzaku, the best Qing Kung among the Jinyi Guards."
Qinglong said in surprise: "I didn't expect that there would be such a person under King Yan."
"I'm afraid I won't come home at night." Ji Gang said softly.
Qinglong was a little surprised: "Not returning at night? Isn't that a spy placed by King Yan in Beiyuan? How could he appear here?"
Ji Gang said: "How can King Yan be so relieved when the princess is traveling? It is reasonable and reasonable to send someone to protect her secretly. However, when I see you today, I am really powerful. We must pay attention to it in the future. If I don't come here today, It might also appear in the palace!"
Several people nodded.
Qinglong said: "In this way, the princess, Li Xiao and others will be safe. The city gate is closed. By the time Lan Nao'er notices something is wrong, it will be too late to leave the city. However, it will be troublesome for us to leave the city."
Ji Gang smiled and said: "Why are we leaving the city? At this moment, the city of Hangzhou is in chaos. All the soldiers in Lan Nao'er's house, including himself, have also gone out. The earls and Qianhu have also gone out to look for people in person. This is What a God-given opportunity!!”
Qinglong, Baihu, Suzaku, and Xuanwu's eyes lit up!
Yes, this is a God-sent opportunity.
It doesn't take much effort to find it after breaking through iron shoes and finding nowhere.
At this time, sneaking into their house secretly and searching for evidence is the best opportunity!
"Without further ado, the five of us will split up! I'm going to Lan Nao'er's house."
Ji Gang ordered: "Qinglong is in charge of Jingchuan Hou Cao Zhen's residence, Zhuque is in charge of Heqing Hou Zhang Yi, Xuanwu is in charge of Ning Hou Zhang Wen, and Baihu is in charge of Xiliang Hou Puyi's mansion. After the investigation, everyone will meet again. .Although these people have now left the mansion, they must be extremely careful when acting and not be careless."
"I accept your orders!" The four of them handed over their hands.
"After the investigation, we will meet here."
After saying that, the five people moved and disappeared.
Time ticks by.
It was already late at night.
At night in Hangzhou City, there were torches everywhere and soldiers looking for people everywhere.
This frightened the common people. They had never seen such a scene before.
At the same time, those businessmen who understood the matter also marveled at how powerful Mr. Lan was. It must be true that he was beaten, and he actually mobilized the army to find someone for them.
This night in Yangzhou City was not peaceful.
at the same time.
Ji Gang and Qinglong went to various mansions to search for evidence very smoothly.
In the mansion, there are not many patrol guards anymore, and most of the ones left are maids and servants.
With their skills and vigilance, they really found the clues.
The five people gathered again in a very secluded house.
Ji Gang lit the oil lamp and began to look through the accounts collected by everyone.
Soon, something was wrong.
"No, no! These marquises received a large amount of money from Mr. Lan at the same time!" Suzaku was the first to discover this phenomenon.
"I discovered it too!" Qinglong whispered.
Ji Gang frowned and said: "The silk business they do, judging from the time, the money is collected in autumn, and the silk is harvested in spring. It should be woven into silk and sold in autumn."
With this said, everyone understands.
This Lan Nao'er's business is to bring everyone together to make a fortune.
It's no wonder that these marquis are willing to obey orders, not just because of the blue jade.
But Lan Naoer has real benefits to them.
"But...even if you are in the silk business, you can't make so much money!"
Suzaku was proficient in arithmetic and quickly calculated their approximate profit through the ledger.
She was surprised: "The profit they made is more than ten times that of normal silk trading!"
"What?"
Ji Gang's expression changed, "More than ten times???"
Suzaku nodded.
Ji Gang looked at Bai Hu and said, "Bai Hu, write down these words and these situations in the 'Book of Impermanence' verbatim."
"yes."
The white tiger looked stern and recorded this information one by one on the impermanent book.
Impermanence is the record book of Beizhen Fusi that records the illegal activities of various officials.
After finishing writing, four Jin Yiwei at the level of 100 households or 1,000 households pressed their fingerprints.
Once the fingerprint is pressed.
Even if the evidence is destroyed, it can still be used as evidence!
Ji Gang thought for a while and said: "The profit is ten times that of the market. This silk business is not simple anymore. It is probably smuggled overseas!!"
After the words fell, everyone was shocked.
Ji Gang immediately said: "Check and see if there is any record of division of accounts to the Coastal Marine Guards Station in the account books!"
Soon, everyone immersed themselves in searching among a large number of account books.
These people are all Jin Yiwei, and they are very professional in detecting these clues.
Even if the account books are covered up with some tricks, they can't stop their sharp eyes.
Soon, I actually found records of dividing accounts for the coastal navy.
"Master Ji, I found it, it's really smuggling!"
Smuggling overseas!
This Lan Nao'er is really bold and wanton in doing things that are strictly prohibited by the Holy Spirit!
"Remember!! White Tiger, write everything down!"
Ji Gang laughed excitedly and said: "Great, we really caught a big insect this time. We are going to make a great contribution!"
One day and one night passed.
Lan Nao'er mobilized all the power he could, and nearly 100,000 soldiers searched for one person in the city, but still found no one.
It has to be said that the counter-investigation capabilities of Qianqing Chen are extremely powerful.
He is really capable.
With just one person, he was able to play around with a hundred thousand soldiers.
Of course, he could also do this in the city.
If he had gone to an open area on the plains, he might have been arrested long ago.
Unable to catch anyone, Lan Nao'er's face turned the color of pig liver.
There was a man outside who kept saying that he had been slapped in the face, but he could not be found.
"Waste! It's all waste!"
Lan Naoer kicked his feet angrily.
He had not slept all day and night, and his whole body was in a trance.
"Your Majesty, why don't you go back and rest first? I will take care of these things."
The servant on the side advised.
"Sleep, I can't sleep. If I don't catch this murderer, how can I sleep!" Lan Yu cursed.
And this time.
A servant hurried over.
"Your Majesty, it's not good!!!"
"explain!"
The servant panicked and said, "Jingchuan Marquis Cao Zhen sent someone to inform me and asked me to report to the crown prince as soon as possible. His house has been robbed, and the account books for many years are missing."
"What!"
Lan Nao'er's expression changed.
At this time, another person hurriedly came over and said, "Your Majesty, the account books in the residences of Heqing Marquis Zhang Yi and Huining Marquis Zhang Wen were searched and disappeared."
After hearing these pieces of news, Lan Naoer's expression changed drastically.
"Hurry, go back home!"
He and his people rushed towards the mansion frantically.
He prayed in his heart that if the account books in his house were found, it would be the end.
However, the location where my account books are kept is extremely hidden, so it shouldn't be possible.
After returning to the mansion, Lan Naoer walked into his bedroom in the main house and came to a bookshelf.
Open the books in one of the bookshelf and you will find a secret door inside. Twist the vase and open the secret door. There is also a bronze glazed lamp inside.
Twist the bronze glazed lamp again.
Creak——
The other wall of this bedroom rotates, and there is a cave inside. It turns out to be a dark room.
Logically speaking, it is impossible for anyone to find such a complicated mechanism and such a hidden dark room.
Only Lan Nao'er knows about this darkroom.
The craftsman who built the darkroom was killed the same day he finished it.
But when he entered the darkroom, he was dumbfounded.
All the account books placed in the darkroom were missing! ! !
His business is so big that it is impossible not to keep accounts. But for safety, he has personally made all the account books over the years, which are the real core account books!
"It's over! It's over!"
Lan Naoer couldn't believe it.
Someone actually found this place and took away his account books.
The records there are enough to convict him!
This shows how powerful the search ability of Fusi Qianhu Jigan of Jinyiwei North Town is.
"Fell into a trap! Their purpose is to get my evidence. This is a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain!!"
Lan Nao'er walked out of the darkroom in despair, feeling extremely exhausted.
He sat on the bed in a daze.
A series of blows and being plotted left him mentally and physically exhausted.
After a long time, he finally couldn't bear it anymore.
Fell on the bed and fell asleep.
The next morning.
The sunshine today is particularly good, shining through the window sill like velvet light.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty"
There were constant knocks on the door.
Lan Nao'er was woken up, and the servants couldn't care less, so they hurriedly opened the door and came in.
"What's going on? Has the thief been caught?"
Lan Nao'er asked as he rubbed his groggy eyes.
As long as we catch that person, everything will turn around.
"No."
"If you don't find it, keep looking. Why are you yelling!!"
"Your Majesty, there is a new situation." The servant looked very panicked.
Lan Nao'er also felt something was wrong and asked, "Say it quickly!"
The subordinate said: "Since the morning before yesterday, a group of people have been collecting raw silk crazily in the villages under our control, and have taken away all the raw silk."
"What!!!"
Lan Naoer stood up suddenly and yelled: "Why are we only reporting what happened the day before yesterday!"
"Prince."
The subordinate said truthfully: "Your Majesty, you ordered the city gate to be closed. People outside the city can't come in, and people in the city can't come in. This news is blocked. The spies outside only brought the news in today."
Lan Nao'er looked startled.
Unexpectedly, I moved a rock and hit myself in the foot!
The subordinate then reported: "At this moment, the group of people has probably finished loading the goods and is preparing to leave on the boat. The spies also said that there are many women on the boat, most likely the Yangzhou thin horse that was kidnapped by you in Yangzhou, the prince."
"What!!!"
Lan Nao'er's eyes suddenly widened.
All these things are connected in series.
It was the man surnamed Li who suffered the calamity, and the man who slapped him in the face was also surnamed Li.
Now this man named Li has taken away his own raw silk! ! ! ! ! !
"Oops! I've tricked the tiger away from the mountain, killing two birds with one stone!!"
No matter how stupid Lan Naoer is, he still understands his current situation.
The person who spread rumors in the city was not named Li. The real person named Li had collected his own silk and ran away.
He drew all his attention away, and then not only stole the account book, but also robbed his own raw silk without anyone noticing! !
"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Ahhhh!!!!!!!!!"
After Lan Nao'er figured this out, he fell into a daze, madness, and extremely angry!
As the son of Lan Yu, Lan Naoer knows some tactics and strategies.
But over the years, he has been doing business for a long time. With his power, he doesn't need these tricks at all, and no one dares to use them against him.
This resulted in him not seeing through the plan at the first time.
After waiting for the response, I now realized that I had fallen into the trap!
Lan Nao'er was so mad that the son of the dignified Duke was being plotted in this way!
"Run! He can't run! He can only walk through the canal! I have to catch him!"
Lan Nao'er yelled: "Immediately, prepare my horse and take a boat to chase me. Everyone is dispatched to catch this person!!"
The subordinate said: "Then Mr. Li in the city, can we still arrest him?"
"Catch the ass!!!"
Lan Nao'er cursed: "That person is not named Li at all, that is a pretense. The real person named Li is the person harvesting raw silk. Go and arrest him immediately! Damn it!!!"
That's it.
Lan Nao'er immediately led his troops out of the city, prepared ships, and prepared to catch up!
"Master Ji, the city gate is open and the soldiers are out of the city!"
Secretly, Ji Gang, Qinglong and others also discovered this scene.
"Hahaha, I'm afraid they have discovered that their raw silk has been robbed. At this moment, Lan Nao'er is probably going crazy. He lost his account book, lost his raw silk, lost his wife and lost his troops."
Bai Hu burst out laughing.
"This Lan Nao'er is the son of Lan Yu after all. He can't even see through the little tricks to lure the tiger away from the mountain. He is really a waste. If such a waste was not protected by the prince, we would have directly restrained him."
Suzaku said disdainfully.
"Lan Nao'er has become so arrogant these years that no one dares to offend him."
Ji Gang said with a smile: "He didn't expect that King Yan's people were worthy of him. He suffered a big loss and killed two birds with one stone. Unexpectedly, Li Xiao secretly helped us again. We must thank him properly in the future."
Ji Gang thought to himself that Li Xiao and others were really helpful along the way.
Not only did he save his life, but he also helped him solve two cases in succession.
Although it was all unintentional, this favor should be remembered.
Bai Hu asked: "Master Ji, what should we do now, arrest Lan Nao'er?"
"Even if we have evidence, we can't move him because there are so many soldiers around him."
Ji Gang ordered: "In this way, let's take advantage of the chaos to leave the city. Baihu and Zhuque, you two, take Wu Changbo and the evidence and quickly go to the capital to report the matter to the Holy One. Qinglong, Xuanwu, you two follow me and chase after me together, if necessary He helped Li Xiao when he was there, and if there was a dispute between them, that would also be evidence!"
"yes!"
The words fell,
Several people acted separately.
They left the city smoothly, riding fast horses, the two of them ran towards the capital, and the two of them went north along the canal.
at the same time.
At this time, two days and two nights have passed.
Li Xiao had already shipped all the raw silk on the ship. Without waiting for time, he immediately sailed north.
Riding the wind and waves, the big ship travels at the fastest speed!
Now all the girls were on deck, for the warehouses were all full of raw silk.
Lan Nao'er was already deeply offended, so there was no need to hide.
And these Yangzhou thin horses saw so much raw silk and understood.
Li Xiao and others are not bad people, they are really in the silk business.
They have imagined that they and others went to Peking and lived a normal life. It was better to be a weaver girl peacefully than to become someone else's plaything.
"Haha, brother-in-law has a clever trick. Sure enough, that piece of shit Lan Nao'er hasn't noticed that we are taking his goods yet."
Zhu Gaoxu looked at the boat full of raw silk and felt very energetic.
Li Xiao laughed loudly: "Does it hurt?"
Zhu Gaoxu laughed and said: "It's so happy, so happy! My father was very depressed by Lan Yu at first, so we can help him avenge this, hehe!"
Zhu Gaosui also said happily: "We robbed his people, slapped him in the face, and now we robbed his goods. It's really not that satisfying. This trip to Jiangnan is really worth it!"
Li Xiao looked at Zhu Ningyun and asked: "Ningyun, we are about to return to Peiping. How do you feel about this trip south?"
Zhu Ningyun said implicitly: "Well, it's very fun."
"Be brave, there are no outsiders here."
Li Xiao smiled evilly and said, "Speak out what's on your mind, don't hold it back."
"Um."
Zhu Ningyun nodded and said loudly: "This trip is so relaxing! We traveled to the beautiful scenery in various places in the south of the Yangtze River, and rescued a group of people who were suffering. It was so fun to eliminate evil! It was so fun!!! "
Li Xiao nodded slightly, this trip was really worth it.
He watched his wife's heart keep opening, slowly releasing her own nature and opening her heart.
In fact, Ningyun's character was inherited from King Zhu Di of Yan.
She is a woman who dares to love, hate, and act. She just kept it at home and became a little weak. Now she has completely changed!
"Sister, I feel like you are a completely different person now."
Zhu Gaoxu also said happily.
He naturally hopes that his sister can become better.
But now, my sister has obviously completely come out of her psychological shadow, and she is speaking louder and full of energy than before.
"That's right."
Zhu Ningyun nodded: "This journey is richer, more thrilling and exciting than all the experiences I had in my previous life! I think the stories we have come along can be written into a storybook."
Speaking of the story, Li Xiao said with a smile: "Yes, our experiences can indeed be written into a story. How about I write it and call it "I Punished Evil and Eliminated Evil in the Ming Dynasty"?"
Speaking of this, everyone became excited.
"Okay, brother-in-law, maybe this storybook can be passed down through the ages!"
Zhu Gaoxu said excitedly.
"Great!"
Zhu Gaosui was equally excited: "Brother-in-law, I'm looking forward to what you said!"
Li Xiao laughed: "Okay, okay, everyone is tired after working hard for two days. Let's take a rest!"
That's it.
Li Xiao's big boat set foot on the road back to Peiping along the canal.
And at this moment.
In the palace, Zhu Ningyun's letter has appeared on Zhu Yuanzhang's dragon case.
Zhu Yuanzhang opened it and saw that it was a letter from his granddaughter Zhu Ningyun.
He smiled slightly and started watching.
Immediately furious! !
"That's unreasonable!"
A loud roar echoed throughout the hall!
