Chapter 517: Exposed
Those two families were all because they touched the interest of the government, but their power was entrenched in Jinling City, and even Lord Taishou did not dare to touch them easily, for fear of causing chaos.
However, a year ago, the two major families that were in full swing were easily uprooted by Lord Taishou, which also sounded the alarm for their other families, making the entire Jinling City a lot more stable.
He heard that it was only because the people of the two families provoked the righteous daughter of Lord Taishou, and it was she who gave advice to Lord Taishou behind her back, so that Zhang Guodong could easily solve the people who were unfavorable to him.
But that young lady has always been relatively low-key, and rarely appears in front of people, so that few people know that Taishou has a righteous daughter.
Now it seems that that he is not a simple person, after all, he is a person who can solve the two major families by himself.
If I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid she is the person behind the Linglong Pavilion, and only in this way can she explain why Mrs. Taishou can easily get the patterns of those clothes.
It seems that when should I go to meet the hidden girl for a while, I wonder what kind of expression she will have when she knows that she has guessed her identity?
At this moment, Song Xinshu never thought that her identity, which she had tried her best to hide for a long time, would be guessed by Lan Yunyi, if she knew, she would definitely not be able to help but blow up.
Seeing a smug smile on Lan Yunyi's face, Qin Zhen couldn't help but speak, "Yunyi, what clues did you think of?" Do you mind telling your uncle? ”
Lan Yunyi came back to his senses and ate something, "Uncle, I'm not sure yet, I'll definitely tell you when the dust settles!" ”
"The shopkeeper of this restaurant is not an easy person to deal with, and several restaurants have used some despicable means to deal with him because they have hated him for stealing their business, and they have all been miserable to him. If you really want to cooperate with them, uncle, don't make any small moves behind your back! Lan Yunyi couldn't help but remind.
Qin Zhen nodded and said that he already knew, "Yunyi, I will stay in Jinling City for about half a month, if you have time, you can come and find me." By the way, has the Lan family embarrassed you recently? If you have, you must tell us, don't fight alone! ”
Lan Yunyi felt very warm in his heart, every time he was disappointed in that family, he would think about those relatives of the Qin family, they were all sincere and good to him, and he must repay them well in the future.
"Uncle, eat more, the things in this restaurant are really good. Is there anything else you can do other than come to seek cooperation? "Lan Yunyi doesn't think that just seeking cooperation will make Qin Zhen come to this trip in person, there must be some things that he doesn't know.
Qin Zhen pointed at him and smiled helplessly, "If you really can't hide anything, it's really not just about cooperation." You also know that the imperial court has been fighting recently, but there are always some black-hearted people who do hurtful things, those soldiers are fighting bloody battles in the front, they are not fed and clothed, and the imperial court finally prepared a batch of food and cold grain and grass to be sent to the front line. ”
"However, there are people who have their own pockets, and there is not much food to reach the front line. This matter reached the ears of the emperor, and the emperor ordered a thorough investigation, and this drudgery fell on your second uncle. ”
"You also know that he is in that position, countless pairs of eyes are staring, and he doesn't dare to act rashly at all, and if he makes a slight mistake, it will affect the lives of the whole family."
At the moment, he already had a suspicious person, but that person was also in a high position and could not move easily. He didn't dare to do it until he was completely sure. Anyway, I'm going to come to Jinling City to talk about business, so I'll explore the truth for your second uncle by the way! Qin Zhen said helplessly.
Lan Yunyi didn't expect that there was such a thing here, although his second uncle was in an important position, he was also walking on thin ice, the officialdom was sinister, and if he was not careful, he would be an abyss.
He carefully went through the doubtful people in his mind, and the only thing he could think of was that family, after all, they had only moved from the capital not long ago, "Uncle, the second uncle will not suspect the people of the Wang family, right?" I heard that the Wang family has some relationship with the Chen family in the capital! ”
The chopsticks in Qin Zhen's hand paused slightly, this nephew of his own family is really too smart, he is just a few words, he has already guessed most of it, "As you guessed, but this matter is not trivial, don't miss any rumors!" ”
"Please rest assured, uncle, I will never say much! Is there anything else my uncle is hiding from me? For so many years, I have always had a reputation for being a gentleman, but because of this, I know everything about this Jinling City, and my uncle can rest assured that he will entrust things to me! Lan Yunyi gave Qin Zhen some dishes.
"It's not that your aunt's family has a niece in the palace as a concubine, and when she heard that I was coming to Jinling City to discuss business, she asked me to bring me some Linglong Pavilion clothes back. I thought it would be easy to do, so I agreed. ”
"When I heard you say that, I feel like I've dug a big hole for myself! Now I'm really a little worried, if I lose my trust to your aunt, I'm afraid I'll have to mess with me again, and then I'll have to stay alone in the empty room again! Qin Zhen said helplessly.
Lan Yunyi smiled unceremoniously, his uncle is Wen Taowu is very good, but he is a little afraid of his aunt, but his aunt is also a kind and gentle woman.
Qin Zhen does not have a concubine in his family, and the husband and wife are Qin Se and Ming, raising their eyebrows together, like a pair of fairy couples.
He is very envious of the relationship between them, and has always hoped that he can meet a woman who is inseparable from each other in the future.
"Uncle, you don't know, this Linglong Pavilion has not been very peaceful recently, and your desire to buy clothes is about to come to naught." Lan Yunyi said.
Qin Zhen was a little surprised, he heard that this Linglong Pavilion was like a market, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was a daily income to make money, "What do you say?" ”
"Some time ago, the cloth of Linglong Pavilion was burned to the ground, and now it is finally solved. I don't know what happened these two days? The shopkeeper has not shown up for several days, and the hearts of the people inside are also floating, the courtyard is cold, and there are only a few guys who are struggling to support them! ”
"I'm not sure if it's true or not, but I always feel like it's not that simple. This Linglong Pavilion can rise in such a short period of time, and the person behind it is definitely not a simple character, but I heard that this incident was caused by the Wang family behind the scenes, and I don't know that the person has offended them. Lan Yunyi said with a cold face, still holding a cup of tea in his hand.
He just can't get used to the Wang family's style of acting, and on the surface he pretends to be kind and wealthy, but in fact he is a sanctimonious villain.
Originally, the business of Jinling City was very prosperous and harmonious, but since he came to Jinling City, he has stirred up trouble everywhere, making many people have suffering.
Recently, I heard that the Wang family was eyeing Linglong Pavilion again, and had threatened to take Linglong Pavilion under his command.
But the shopkeeper of Linglong Pavilion has always been relatively tough, so naturally he will not succumb to such despicable villains, and it is estimated that because of this, Linglong Pavilion has been in turmoil recently.
"So that's the case, I'm afraid your cousin Yue'er will be disappointed again when I go back this time. But hearing you say that, I really want to meet the shopkeeper of the Exquisite Pavilion. When the Wang family was in the capital, they relied on the power of the Chen family to run rampant, because they were backed by the Chen family, and almost no one dared to compete with them. ”
"But I think it's a little strange, that the lord of the Wang family is a person who loves power and status like his life, how can he give up the business in the capital that is already flourishing and run to this Jinling City to start from scratch? There must be something greasy in this, if we can find out the reason, it will be a great favor for your second uncle! Qin Zhen said suspiciously.
Lan Yunyi was also curious in his heart, he sincerely wanted to help his uncle, "Uncle, you will leave this matter to me." I will find out the reason why the Wang family is here as soon as possible, and as for the clothes of Linglong Pavilion and the shopkeeper, I will try my best to bring them to you!" ”
"By the way, where are you staying this time?" Lan Yunyi asked.
Qin Zhen originally wanted to refuse Lan Yunyi's help, he knew Lan Yunyi's current situation very well, and he might expose himself if he was not careful, although the Lan family was not worried, but that child had suffered a lot since he was a child, and they didn't want him to be hurt a little more.
However, after thinking about it, he swallowed back the words of rejection that came to his lips, no matter what, Lan Yunyi had been operating in Jinling City for many years, and he knew more about this place than himself.
Instead of going around like a headless fly, it is better to leave this matter to Lan Yunyi to solve, on the one hand, let him practice his hands, and he can also see how far he has grown over the years?
On the other hand, I don't want to startle the snake, if they make preparations in advance, this trip will be in vain!
"I'm going to stay in the inn this time, if you have anything to talk to me about! You must remember that everything depends on your safety. If you can't find anything, forget it, let your second uncle solve it himself! After all, he has been in the officialdom for so many years, how can he not have his own means. Qin Zhen unceremoniously sold his younger brother.
Lan Yunyi smiled, the relationship between his two uncles was really excellent, and there was no such thing as a brother's wall that often occurs in ordinary families, "Uncle, if the second uncle knew that you betrayed him so blatantly, he would have jumped with you." ”
