"You two..." Song Qiyunyong looked at Shen Haolin with suspicious eyes, then at Shen Cha, and asked, "Why are you so sure that there must be something fishy about Mr. Chige? Do you two know anything about us? Something you don’t know?”
"It's just that when we ransacked the house, we were more attentive and careful than you, and saw more things." Shen Cha waved his hand towards Mei Lin, who was sitting at the table next to him, "Give those letters to Xiaoyun and Take a look, Commander."
Merlin nodded, took out a few letters from the small bag he carried with him, and handed them to Song Qiyun.
"What kind of letter is this?" Song Qiyun looked at the letters in his hand, opened one of them, and browsed it quickly. His expression became serious, and he opened the remaining letters. The contents inside were almost the same, and his expression It's getting uglier. "Mr. Chi Ge is really..."
"Real people don't show their faces." With Song Qiyun's hand, Bai Meng also read the contents of these letters, and his expression was almost the same as Song Qiyun's. "He is a scholar, but he is quite courageous. How dare he get involved in such a business? How dare he earn such unscrupulous money? Aren't you afraid that after the exposure of the incident, it will harm the nine clans?"
"Perhaps he feels that what he did is secret and will not be discovered." Shen Haolin sneered, "His reputation has always been very high in Xijing and Daxia. Many disciples in the clan have studied with him and served in court. There are many young officials in the hall who regard him as their mentor and follow him as a role model, so it is difficult to imagine that he will do anything particularly extraordinary."
"Being burdened by fame, you have to be cautious about your words and deeds?" Seeing Shen Haolin nod, Bai Meng snorted, "Maybe others may care about this, but the purpose of becoming an official in the Chi family is not pure, and these are simply restrictive We can't help them. However, we didn't know this before the incident."
"Did the Chi family come into contact with this kind of business when they were in Jiangnan? Otherwise, Mr. Chi Ge wouldn't have been able to start this business so easily if he hadn't returned to his old business." Song Qiyun put the letter away and returned it to Mei Lin , "If it weren't for the accumulation of many years of accumulation, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to do these two things." He stretched out his fingers and counted them one by one, "The first thing is to establish a good relationship with the local government. There are many places that need to be cleared. These are all It takes real money and silver to open the way, and his reputation as the world's top student teacher does not apply. What's more, he has only had this reputation in the past ten years. Secondly, where did he get the manpower to do this kind of business? , they must not be from Chi Mansion."
"All his goods are shipped from Yancheng. Where do you think his manpower comes from?" Shen Cha sneered, "Salt is easy to say, iron is the key point. Looking at the content of the letter, iron is their key point. , salt is just an accessory.”
"Iron is more complicated than salt, and the control is stricter. How this transaction was made, you need to ask him or Chi Hong." Song Qiyun sighed, "It's just that the letter didn't say who the other party was. Jin Man, how did you know that he is connected with the Jin Man?"
"Several ornaments copied from the Chi Mansion have obvious characteristics of the Jin Kingdom. Two of them were popular styles in the Jin Kingdom's court more than ten years ago, and one set is a tea set that has been popular among the Jin Kingdom's nobles in the past two years. , it can be seen that the Chi family must have contacts with the Kingdom of Jin. But whether this contact is through Mrs. Teng in Yancheng, Chi Hong, or Chige himself, it is hard to say." Shen Cha tapped lightly. Knocking on the table, "I am more concerned about the palace ornaments of the Jin Kingdom more than ten years ago. At that time, Mr. Chige had a close relationship with Uncle Ning Wang and was a distinguished guest of Prince Ning's Mansion. Will he use this to give Jin Dynasty It’s hard to tell if there is some news from the country, so we must find out clearly from Uncle Ning, and be sure before we go to interrogate Mr. Chige. Otherwise, we are likely to be counterattacked. "
"There is another more important point. During this period, there were several accidents where the food and fodder of the frontier army were hijacked by the Jin."
"Haolin, you mean that it's possible that he took advantage of the convenience of being in Prince Ning's Mansion to learn about the border army's food and grass information and told the Jin people in advance?" Seeing Shen Haolin nod, Bai Meng frowned, "I think Get up! After the several grain and grass robbery cases occurred, the late emperor was furious. Several people directly responsible had their homes confiscated, and those related to the case were also punished one after another. His Highness Prince Ning was not involved in the grain and grass robbery at that time, but Several staff members in his palace were also punished. He was banned by the late emperor for more than half a month because of his lax discipline. If I remember correctly, that was the first time the late emperor got angry with His Highness Prince Ning."
Song Qiyun sighed faintly, and just when he was about to say, "Chige is really secretive," he heard a quarrel coming from next door, and then heard the sound of banging things.
Shen Haolin glanced at Ying Shishi, who nodded, walked out of the box and went to the next door. When the waiter came to serve the food, he came back.
"how?"
Ying Fifteen waited for the waiters who were serving food to leave before saying, "It's a few guys from martial arts. They started to attack without saying a word about dealing with them. The waiters in the restaurant didn't dare to go in and could only watch. Watching them fight in the house."
"Martial arts?" Bai Meng frowned when he heard Ying Shiwu's words. Although the imperial army and the patrol camp could not control martial arts, it had already affected other people, so it was his turn to step forward. However, as soon as he stood up and went to take a look next door, he was pressed down by Song Qiyun. He didn't quite understand what Song Qiyun meant and asked, "Why don't you let me go?"
"What are you doing? Isn't this just children fighting? Just let them fight! If they smash something in the store or whoever they break, their parents will be responsible. What does that have to do with us? Song Qiyun curled his lips, "As long as no one is killed, you, the commander of the Forbidden Army, don't have to come forward. Besides, martial arts is under the control of the Ministry of War, and if you want to come forward, it must be someone from the Ministry of War."
"Your Majesty, the Commander-in-Chief does not need to come forward, but you have to go and take a look."
"Why?" Song Qiyun looked at Ying Shiwu with a puzzled face, "Why should I go?"
"Prince Wu and the young master from the Qing family are also there." Ying Shishi sighed, "The prince knows what happened to the young master from the Qing family. Prince Wu took a lot of beatings in order to protect him."
"Tsk, it's really troublesome, these little brats who need to be dealt with!"
Song Qiyun looked impatient. He stood up and walked out of the box. When he came to the next door, he saw a few waiters hiding at the door. He waved his hand and told them to disperse. He raised his foot and kicked the door open. Before he could wait, Song Qiyun stood up and walked out of the box. The cubs inside reacted and walked in with a sullen face.
The kids who were fighting vigorously in the box saw someone disrupting the situation. They originally wanted to beat up the nosy as well, but when they saw Song Qiyun walking in, they were so frightened that they all had their calves twist. Especially the two nobles who bullied Prince Wu and the young master of the Qing family the most, their faces suddenly turned pale and they quickly dropped the chairs in their hands.
"We haven't seen each other for a few years. You guys are taller and more capable!" Song Qiyun looked at Prince Wu, who was protecting the young master of the Qing family, "You have learned how to fight outside, haven't you?"
"Uncle Wang!" Prince Wu grabbed the young master of the Qing family's hand and said with an aggrieved look, "They were the ones who made the move first. Xiaowen just disagreed with their views and used facts to prove that their views were wrong. They became so angry that they actually Take action against Xiaowen."
"Your Majesty, it really has nothing to do with the prince, it's me..."
"Okay, you two, stop taking responsibility for each other!" Song Qiyun rolled his eyes, looked at the mess on the ground, and sighed, "Fifteen, take the two of them to our box, and then let the brothers go to them... He raised his chin towards the remaining cubs and said, "Go to their house and inform the adults to come and pick them up in person. If they are not the adults, they are not allowed to let go!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Ying Fifteen nodded, "You two, please!"
When the other kids heard that Song Qiyun was looking for the adults in the family, they all panicked. It would be troublesome if the adults in their family knew that he was fighting outside. They all stopped Song Qiyun from leaving and asked him for mercy.
"You know you are wrong now?" Song Qiyun sneered, "It's too late. I have no respect and humiliation. If you commit the same crime below, I can't educate you. Let your adults teach you!" After saying that, he left the box and followed Several shadows at the door said, "Watch, don't let them escape."
"yes!"
Seeing Prince Wu and the young master of the Qing family standing at the door of his box, Song Qiyun raised his eyebrows and pushed the two people in.
