Lin Huai looked at the direction in which the two of them disappeared, his expression was calm, he went to Gu's house last night to work in the middle of the night, and he didn't rest until the early hours of the morning, to his surprise, this Shangguan actually mobilized so many people, it seems that the determination in the palace this time is not small.

This Shangguan is also good enough, it didn't take long to find out the Gu family and find out the traitor, but unfortunately how to deal with this matter in the end, he didn't know, he only remembered that he fainted as soon as his vest was numb.

When he woke up, Liu Han and Gu Heng were left, the three traitors were all dead, but there was no trace of a fight in the room, it was obvious that the other party had come to reinforcements, what agreement did this Shangguan reach with the other party.

When Lin Huai was in the public gate, he was known as the eye of God, and he had extremely rich experience in investigating cases, and he had been in exile in the rivers and lakes for more than ten years, and he had a lot of experience in the rivers and lakes.

But the question is, should he report to the palace truthfully?

Lin Huai had been thinking about this issue since last night, and it wasn't until just now that he made a decision.

Liu Han quickly sent Ye Xiu back and told her that during this time, she must pay attention to the movements in the yamen, especially the report of Jiankang Lai, Jiankang Yamen is handling the case of Fang Zhen's assassination, but Liu Han doesn't think they can do anything, but they can't completely ignore it, in case someone finds something!

He always believed that the imperial court was the most powerful institution.

There are a lot of things today, last night he arranged a series of actions, these things will be finished today, he first went to the knife, the knife did not sleep, has been waiting for him, his work is mainly at night, most of the morning sleeps.

After listening to Xiaodao's report, Liu Han once again assigned him a new task, monitoring the Huaiyang Society, Fang Zhen died, Xiao Lan rebelled, the Cao Gang lost two masters in a row, and its strength was greatly weakened, and it was difficult to guarantee what the Yangzhou Jianghu Gang, which had always been suppressed by the Cao Gang, had any ideas.

After saying goodbye to the knife, he went to find Zhong Nan again, Zhong Nan gathered his colleagues in the Tiger Group last night and waited outside the Cao Gang Helm for most of the night, and did not leave until it was dark, of course, with their cultivation, they could not detect Liu Han's entry into the Helm.

"Very good," Liu Han didn't hide it, and told Zhong Nan directly: "Last night was a test, and you passed." ”

Zhong Nan was a little puzzled, Liu Han said lightly: "There is an order in the palace, Yangzhou internal guards, everyone passes, anyone who has a different heart will be beheaded on the spot, no need to report, last night, you passed the test." ”

A layer of cold sweat broke out in Zhong Nan's vest, it turned out that last night's action was fake, and he was just inspecting them, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Liu Han then told him that the spies hiding in the Gu Mansion had been cleared, and the threat from the center had passed, and he also told him that their contact code had been changed.

Dealt with Zhong Nan's matter, there is still something to be done, Gu Heng's salt number, he must go to the salt number to see, the three of them joined forces to take a picture of ten acres of salt fields, got the salt number license, and are manufacturing refining equipment, which he gave the drawings before.

The salt number has not opened yet, and even the shop has not been rented, Liu Han rushed to the Defu Restaurant, Gu Heng did not arrive, it is estimated that last night's matter has not ended, and Jin Liang is already waiting in the private room.

"Brother, you're back. Jin Liang saw Liu Han and got up eagerly: "Brother Gu and I have been looking forward to you for a long time." ”

"How about it?" Liu Han pretended not to know, and asked a little anxiously: "I heard in the imperial capital that this auction is very competitive!"

Jin Liang smiled bitterly: "A full seventy thousand taels of silver." ”

Speaking of this, the corners of his mouth twitched, obviously still heartbroken about this huge amount of money.

Liu Han breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, it's okay, have you got the license?"

"Got it," Jin Liang grabbed him tightly: "Brother, the drawings you gave are being made, but, brother, shouldn't the rest of the part be taken out." ”

"That's nature. Liu Han said and took out the drawings, Jin Liang took it, this is the key component of the distillation equipment, Liu Han could have handed it over to them last time, and they didn't dare to lose their shares.

Jin Liang took it as if he had obtained a treasure, and unfolded it to take a closer look, Liu Han smiled secretly in his heart, this guy didn't know if he could understand it.

"Brother, our net worth depends on this. Jin Liang shook his head and said.

If they just guarded those few acres of salt pans, they would definitely not have to play, and they would definitely go bankrupt under the squeeze of the Big Salt, but with this refining device, they would be able to survive in a desperate situation.

It's their secret weapon!

Liu Han reminded him to put away the drawings so as not to be discovered by outsiders.

Jin Liang hurriedly put it away and poured tea for Liu Han enthusiastically: "Brother, with this, my heart has fallen into my stomach." ”

"Brother Jin shouldn't be worried that I won't come back if I go. Liu Han smiled: "With such a big business, how can I not come back, I still want to make a fortune with Brother Jin." ”

"Where, I followed my brother to get rich. Jin Liang smiled, his eyes narrowed into a line.

The two of them complimented each other politely, and after waiting for a while, Gu Heng arrived.

Seeing Gu Heng's tired appearance, Jin Liang couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Brother Gu, what's wrong, it doesn't look very good." ”

Gu Heng's appearance was indeed not good, his expression was tired, with dark circles under his eyes, and he looked a little wilted. Gu Heng smiled reluctantly: "It's nothing, it's just that I haven't slept well recently." ”

Liu Han smiled quietly: "It's best if it's okay, but, Brother Gu, your body is still important, if you are unwell, let's talk about it another day." ”

Today is the organization of the salt number, as for the shares, it has already been discussed, Liu Han accounts for 30%, Gu Heng accounts for 40%, and Jin Liang accounts for 30%.

"It's okay, there's more to do today. Gu Heng said and sat down, and Jin Liang and Liu Han no longer showed their concern in vain.

The three of them sat down separately, Gu Heng poured himself a cup of tea and drank it, and then said: "Brother Jin, Brother Zhigang, we have obtained the license, what should we do now, and please talk about it to the two brothers." ”

Jin Liang was about to speak, but Liu Han had already rushed to the front and said: "I think so, I can't always be in Yangzhou, so I can't do this shopkeeper, I'll send an account office, how about it?"

"Okay, but you have to send someone to refine the equipment, we don't understand. Jin Liang said.

Liu Han nodded in agreement, and Gu Heng looked at Jin Liang: "Brother Jin, this shopkeeper, I'm afraid I have to trouble Brother Tai." ”

Jin Liang was slightly stunned, you must know that Gu Heng is a major shareholder, and the shopkeeper is generally served by the major shareholder, Gu Heng is not the shopkeeper, which is unexpected by Jin Liang, Liu Han secretly praised in his heart, this Gu Heng is still very smart, he is an internal guard, and it is likely to have been exposed, if he is the shopkeeper, I am afraid that few people dare to deal with them.

"Brother Gu, what do you mean by this? You are a major shareholder. Jin Liang reacted, and asked a little embarrassedly, if you want to say that you don't want to do it, it's fake.

"Brother Jin, you are still the shopkeeper, I have two stores myself, this Defu Building, and Buzhuang, after a while, I plan to expand the operation of the cloth shop, and I really don't have the energy to manage the salt. Gu Heng's tone was very sincere.

"However," Gu Heng's tone changed: "According to Brother Zhigang's proposal, there should be a supervisor in the store, and this candidate will be sent by me, and the second shopkeeper is my person, how, Brother Jin." ”

There is no problem with these two candidates, if Gu Heng is the shopkeeper, he will also ask for these two positions.

Without thinking too much, Jin Liang agreed, this meal, the three of them ate to their heart's content, and in the staggering, they decided on some other details, and most of the rest belonged to Jin Liang, including renting a storefront, dealing with the Salt Chamber of Commerce, and so on, all let Jin Liang deal with it.

After the meal, Jin Liang hurriedly said goodbye and left, he was busy looking for a storefront, and also to find a yard where a workshop could be opened, Liu Han's opinion was that this workshop should be closer to the dock.

After Jin Liang left, Gu Heng asked the guy to take down the food and bring the tea.

Seeing this, Liu Han knew that something was wrong with him, so he sat in front of the window and looked out of the window casually.

The guy went down, Gu Heng closed the door himself, and then walked in front of Liu Han, his expression changed, it seemed that there was something difficult to say, Liu Han looked at him in wonder.

"Brother Gu, who are you?" asked Liu Han in confusion.

Gu Heng smiled slightly, bowed down, and bowed: "I have seen the lord below, last night the lord cleared up the traitor in the house family and avenged his father, his subordinates are grateful, thank you lord." ”

Liu Han looked at him quietly, Gu Heng was very nervous, but his expression was very firm.

"You're gambling. ”

Liu Han's first sentence made Gu Heng relax, and he took a deep breath to calm down.

"Very good, there is a gambling nature, it is a quality of the internal guard, sometimes you have to be able to gamble, this one, you win the bet," Liu Han said: "Sit down, don't pestle like this." ”

"Thank you, sir. Gu Heng thanked him first, and then sat on the opposite side, as soon as his butt sat down, he immediately got up, brought the tea over, and poured it for Liu Han diligently.

Liu Han looked at him with interest, and waited for him to sit down before asking, "How did you see it?"

"After the adult left last night, the subordinates calmed down and thought carefully, although the subordinates took over from the father soon, but the adults will definitely review the subordinates, so, the subordinates think about the strangers who have appeared around the subordinates recently, in addition to the adults and Jin Liang, Jin Liang is actually not new, he has been doing business in Yangzhou for several years, only the adults are new, and the adults claim to be Qingzhou people, but the accent is not exactly Qingzhou accent, in addition, the adults are negligent today. ”

Gu Heng said and looked at Liu Han's shoes, Liu Han's shoes were bought in the imperial capital, which is not common in Yangzhou, from last night to now, Liu Han changed a few coats, but he didn't change his shoes.

"This is a flaw," Liu Han nodded slightly, and said, "That's it?"

"The tone of the adult's voice last night, especially when the old man in white was there, the adult forgot to disguise, at that time, I felt how this voice was a little familiar, and then I thought about it, it should be the voice of the adult. ”

Liu Han nodded again, the old manager suddenly arrived last night, he was so nervous that he forgot to change his tone, he didn't think about it, this Gu Heng was still vigilant, with such meticulous observation, and had the quality of an internal guard.

I remember watching a spy war drama before, and spies should make bold assumptions and be careful to verify.

"Is the house all cleaned up?" asked Liu Han.

Gu Heng nodded: "Two family members left this morning, and the rest are still being checked." ”

Liu Han nodded: "Ordinary family members can check slowly, in the future, your study, and the places that involve your secrets, the people who use them must be careful, well, if you want to live longer, don't trust anyone." ”

"The subordinate understood. Gu Heng was humble and respectful: "My lord, this salt number, what do you think?"

"To run a system, you need silver to promote, and in the future, a part of the silver earned by the salt number must be taken out to maintain the operation of the internal guard. ”

"Yes. ”

"Today's decision is very good, let Jin Liang manage the salt number, as long as he is not corrupt, let him do it, this person is not bad in business. Liu Han said, he checked Jin Liang, this person is very clean, a simple businessman.

Gu Heng breathed a sigh of relief again, he was just thinking about his identity, and he didn't want to let Jin Liang come forward because of the operation of the salt number.

"This time, the palace sent me to rectify the internal guards in Yangzhou, but I will not stay in Yangzhou for a long time, and I don't know what the palace's final arrangements for Yangzhou are. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

"In the future, you have to slowly develop a fleet," Liu Han said in a deep voice: "In addition, it would be better to develop another fleet, a fleet of horses that transport goods, if you can get in touch with the Huaiyang Society, or develop members within the Huaiyang Society." ”

"Yes, sir. ”

These two tasks are very difficult, but Gu Heng not only did not feel the difficulty, on the contrary, he was very excited, if he could penetrate into the Huaiyang Society, he could establish a fleet, and he could establish a fleet, then the Gu family's business would spread all over Yangzhou.

Financial power equals power!!

A wonderful picture unfolded in front of Gu Heng's eyes.

Its prospect made Gu Heng intoxicated.

Liu Han glanced at him, took out a roll of maps, spread them out on the desk, and Gu Heng stretched out his head to look at it.

"Yangzhou's transportation is mainly by ship, but land transportation is equally important, which is the part that Yangzhou people ignore, Yangzhou has a big car gang, do you know?"

Gu Heng nodded, this big car gang is a small gang, the gang members are carriage guys, and the main business is land transportation, but Yangzhou's transportation is mainly by ship, this gang is very inconspicuous, and the big car gang is a loose gang, and the strength of the gang is weak.

"Find a way to bring this gang over, and then expand to Haiyang, Baisha, Youcheng, you see," Liu Han tapped a few times on the city on the map, and used his finger marks to link them with Yangzhou, forming a big net.

"Then slowly expand outward," Liu Han painted, and soon formed a dense network that covered most of the area north of the Yangtze River in Yangzhou.

Gu Heng immediately understood, and he said excitedly: "Subordinates understand, my lord, how much time do you give your subordinates?"

Liu Han said lightly: "Five years." ”

Time was relatively tight, Gu Heng just thought about it a little and nodded: "Five years later, my subordinates will definitely give the adults a satisfactory answer!"

"As for the fleet," Liu Han said with a slight condensation, "Be careful not to conflict with the Cao Gang, the method is to build a small load first, not to involve Cao Yun, and not to touch the interests of the Cao Gang as much as possible." ”

Speaking of this, Liu Han sighed: "After Fang Zhen's death, the movements of the Cao Gang are worth noting," and glanced at Gu Heng as he spoke, Gu Heng didn't know much about the rivers and lakes, but he also pretended to sigh heavily.

Liu Han sighed secretly in his heart, this Gu Heng is still a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, he only sees the good, but does not see the danger.

These few things were thought of by him recently, and he originally wanted to hand them over to Liu Huo, but there were already too many things about Liu Huo, especially the ghost worry project, which made him unable to be distracted, and there was no other suitable person in Yangzhou, so he had to hand it over to Gu Heng to do.
