From the moment he stepped into the Huifeng Dance, danger shrouded Liu Han, he didn't expect that Gonggong Mu, who was in power and made the people of the world fearful, actually descend to his dignity and come to see him in person, which was completely unexpected by him. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Secondly, the first thing Mu Gonggong asked was not about Yangzhou Yanhao, but his other identity, which made him even more vigilant, fortunately, his reasons were quite sufficient, doing business in Jiangnan, and offending the Cao Gang can be said to be difficult to move an inch.

"Have you seen the shopkeeper of the Hundred Workshops?" Grandpa Mu began with the second question.

"Father-in-law, I saw it yesterday. Liu Han replied truthfully, and as he spoke, his brows furrowed slightly.

Father-in-law Mu obviously saw something, and he asked gently, "What's the matter?" ”

"Back to my father-in-law, the humble position is very difficult, the hundred workshops found the humble position, through the arrangement of Zhen Niang of Baiyi Garden, the humble position also inquired, the hundred workshops have a good reputation on the rivers and lakes, but the hundred workshops are very mysterious, no one has seen his shopkeeper on the rivers and lakes, and the shopkeeper of the hundred workshops seen in the Baiyi Garden is also masked, yesterday the humble duty forced him to remove the mask, but even so, the humble duty is still very uneasy, the humble duty does not understand, why they want to be so mysterious, the humble business has always had a principle, do not cooperate with guests of unknown origin, but the hundred workshops make it difficult to choose the humble position, father-in-law, the humble office even almost thought that the hundred workshops were internal guards。 ”

Saying that, Liu Han raised his eyes and looked directly at Father-in-law Mu and Father-in-law Lin, Father-in-law Lin was expressionless, and Father-in-law Mu showed a smile: "This hundred workshops are very mysterious, and the internal guard checked it five or six years ago, but it's a pity that ,... , Hehe, the information about the Hundred Workshops in the internal guard archives is three feet high, but after Xiao Linzi researched it, he thought that none of it was true, either they deliberately threw it out, or it was completely fake. ”

Liu Han's mouth opened slightly, obviously very surprised, and Gonggong Mu nodded: "But in order to find out these information, the internal guards lost a total of two good hands, but Xiao Linzi studied the whole process and thought that the twelve people we sent out were all recognized, and the reason why only two died was because they didn't want to offend the palace, as for why two more died, the reason is unknown." ”

Liu Han was startled, a layer of cold sweat broke out in his vest, and Gonggong Mu nodded at him slightly: "It seems that you guessed, there is a problem here, all the twelve good hands have been identified, none of them have been able to get close to their core organization, and they have been identified on the periphery, Xiao Linzi quietly conducted a secret investigation, and came to the conclusion that the internal guard was infiltrated." ”

"Baigongfang is in business, what is he doing by infiltrating the internal guard?" Liu Han was very puzzled, but he was even more vigilant in his heart.

"Yes, that's what I don't understand, I'll leave it to you, you go look it up, and see what they want to do. Father-in-law Mu's expression was still calm, but his eyes suddenly became stern.

"I?!" Liu Han looked hesitant, as if he was not confident: "Father-in-law, it's not that you don't dare to be lowly, but you can't enter their core, and you can't even enter the periphery." ”

"I understand this," Mu Gonggong said: "But you have a chance, Yangzhou Salt is an opportunity, you can improvise what to do." ”

Liu Han was silent for a while, Father-in-law Mu and Father-in-law Lin both stared at him, and after a while, Liu Han spoke: "Father-in-law, the lowly position can take over this task, but the lowly position has to look at the past files about the Hundred Workshops, regardless of whether the content is true or false." ”

"You and Xiao Linzi discuss this. Father-in-law Mu paused, and then said: "The first thing you have to find out is whether Baigongfang is really just a gang or a merchant, who is the host, what is his name, and whether there is anyone behind it." ”

"Humble duty understands. Liu Han bowed down and responded.

"Do a good job, and the future is bright. Father-in-law Mu got up as he spoke, and Liu Han and Father-in-law Lin also got up immediately and sent Father-in-law Mu out.

Back in the room, Grandpa Lin sat in the first place, Liu Han still sat in the bottom, Grandpa Mai was still standing behind Grandpa Lin, Liu Han's divine sense quietly swept inside and outside the room, and he had a number in his heart.

"The matter of Yangzhou Salt, the ancestor has already reported it to the emperor, and the emperor has agreed to hand it over to our family to handle, and the emperor hopes to do it as soon as possible. ”

Father-in-law Lin looked at Liu Han and motioned to change the tea, Liu Han immediately noticed that in fact, the tea had not been drunk, but Father-in-law Mai changed the tea without saying a word, and while Father-in-law Mai was changing the tea, Father-in-law Lin asked.

"Have you met the shopkeeper of the Hundred Workshops?"

Liu Han nodded: "Yes." ”

"Tell me, what kind of person is he?"

Liu Han thought about it for a while and said: "Very rigorous, very able to control his emotions, the humble position almost didn't see his mood fluctuations, the control of the subordinates is very strict, there are no words, his subordinates dare not move in the slightest, in addition, the reaction is very fast, no matter what the humble position says, he will soon understand, in addition, dealing with him makes the humble position very comfortable, the difficulties of the humble position, he can understand it very well, if he is an opponent, it will be a very terrible opponent." ”

Gonggong Lin nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Today, the ancestor specially took the time to come to see you, it is your blessing, what about your wolf head bronze medal?"

Liu Han didn't know why, but he still took out the bronze medal from his arms, put it on the table, and pushed it in front of Gonggong Lin with a little hesitation.

Gonggong Lin went to the bronze medal to take a closer look, put it in his arms, and then took out a jade medal and pushed it in front of Liu Han: "The ancestor felt that I was too stingy and blamed me, now, you are the worship of my internal guard." ”

Liu Han curiously picked up the jade plaque, flipped it over and over again, there was a unicorn carved on the jade plaque, and he looked up at Gonggong Lin in confusion: "This is the brand for worship?"

Gonggong Lin showed a smile and nodded slightly: "The jade plate is actually not only the golden carp and the bull's head, there is also a unicorn jade plate, this unicorn jade plate is the identity of the internal guards, and the worship has the responsibility of supervision, and can supervise and punish all the internal guards under the golden carp jade plate, and if necessary, you can mobilize the county soldiers, or the border army or the forbidden army, but there is a limit on the number of people, and the upper limit is five hundred." ”

Liu Han gasped, this power is too great, he can't help but shudder, Gonggong Lin has been staring at him, seeing the change in his expression, the corners of his mouth can't help but slip a smile.

"Father-in-law, this, lowly and fearful," Liu Han stammered: "Father-in-law has never been an internal guard, and he was suddenly promoted to such a high position, lowly duty, lowly position, in case, please consider it carefully." ”

"Our family also feels that you have risen a little faster, but the ancestor thinks you can do it. Lin Gonggong said: "Besides, above the grandmaster, it is all a jade plate, you have a grandmaster's high-grade cultivation, and it is normal to be above the bull head jade plate, since the ancestor has decided, you can take it." ”

Liu Han was a little frightened, but he was more proud in his heart, he thought for a while, and then said with a wry smile: "Since the ancestor and the father-in-law trust, the lowly position, the lowly position must work hard to do a good job, and live up to the trust of the ancestor and the father-in-law." ”

"We all believe in you. Lin Gonggong said: "Your task now is to do a good job of Yangzhou Salt, and the second is to find out the matter of the Hundred Workshops." ”

"Father-in-law, you've been paying attention to the Hundred Workshops for a long time, I don't know what you think of the Hundred Workshops?" Liu Han asked cautiously, considering his words.

Gonggong Lin thought silently for a while, and then said: "This hundred workshops are very mysterious, every time the shopkeeper appears in front of people, he is masked, and he is called surnamed Zhang, but whether this person is really surnamed Zhang, no one knows, the internal guard once found that ten years ago, the merchants who initially cooperated with the Baigongfang, the shopkeeper of the Baigongfang at that time was different from the current shopkeeper surnamed Zhang, so there are still people behind the Baigongfang, and the shopkeeper is just placed in the front, and there are people behind." ”

Liu Han listened attentively, and Gonggong Lin continued: "The most important cooperative merchants of the Hundred Workshops are in Jingzhou and the Imperial Capital in the south of the Yangtze River, these three places, among which Jiangnan has the most, followed by the Imperial Capital, the internal guard has found out that the Hundred Workshops are related to the King of Huainan, but after our analysis, we feel that this is a false information, which was deliberately released by the other party, in addition, we also found out that the Lu family in Jiangnan, the Yu family, the Cao Gang, etc., all the news cannot withstand scrutiny. ”

"In addition to earning silver, what else have they done?" Liu Han asked, and Gonggong Lin shook his head: "No, he hasn't done anything, otherwise he wouldn't be able to live for so many years." ”

"But the purpose of earning is to use, for so many years, the hundred workshops have earned at least one million or more silver, he must use it, can't he dig a pit and bury it, what is he using it for?" Liu Han asked curiously.

"That's what I couldn't figure out. Lin Gonggong said: "In all the investigations of the internal guard, I didn't find any place where the silver was used in the hundred workshops, I don't know where he used the silver, and I didn't find that he bought land and a manor, and there was no sign at all." ”

Liu Han's brows were twisted, and he shook his head with a wry smile and said, "This can be seen as a ghost, what are they doing to make money?"

"The only time the silver was found was destined for the state, but the clue was soon lost. Lin Gonggong said: "The internal guard investigated in vain for a few years, and later, the hundred workshops did nothing, and the court situation was chaotic, so they did not continue to investigate." ”

Liu Han understood that later, Emperor Taiding was seriously ill, and the theory of brother and brother was on the rise, and the direction of the internal guard investigation turned and he had to give up the investigation of the hundred workshops.

But this also made him vigilant, the internal guard was too terrifying, and he didn't even let go of such a trading company.

Taking a deep breath, Liu Han plucked up his courage, looked up at Gonggong Lin and asked, "Father-in-law, have the internal guards sent people to Liufu and Hanhai Trading Company?"

Gonggong Lin was surprised, looking at him in wonder, Liu Han's eyes flickered a little, and Gonggong Lin suddenly smiled: "Your time in the imperial capital is too short, and although you are returning from the Western Regions, it is normal, so far it is normal, and the internal guard is not checked by everyone." ”

Liu Han breathed a sigh of relief and laughed twice at Gonggong Lin, Gonggong Lin suddenly felt that this Liu Han was very cute, unlike those grandmasters or great grandmasters he had ever seen, who were as quirky as they were, as if they didn't eat fireworks in the world.

"Tell me about the Yangzhou Salt Ship, how is this going on?" asked Gonggong Lin.

Liu Han breathed a sigh of relief, Grandpa Mai came in with tea, added tea to the two of them, then put the kettle aside, and quietly retreated to Grandpa Lin's side, and he didn't say a word during the whole process.

"So far, the salt number has gone smoothly," Liu Han said that the king of Yanping County and the prince of Xiao Zhao promised to join the shares, and Zhen Niang accepted Yangzhou to host the salt number, and told it in detail: "My father-in-law has agreed now, and then we have to gather to discuss, and we have to solve several problems, first of all, the capital contribution, the shares of each person, and the personnel." ”

"Specifically, you go to negotiate, the ancestor said, within half a month, the salt number will be opened, and the first silver will be put into the warehouse. Father-in-law Lin said and took a sip of tea, put down the cup and said.

Liu Han frowned slightly, and asked cautiously: "Father-in-law, I don't know what form the emperor's contribution is? Is it directly sent by the palace? Or is it another person?"

"What do you think?" Grandpa Lin did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically.

"It's not advisable to send people directly from the palace," Liu Han thought about it and said: "If this is to be spread, the ministers will make a fuss, so I think it's better to assign someone else, well, it's better to have a legal industry as a cover." ”

Gonggong Lin nodded, and suddenly asked abruptly: "How about leaving it to you, you will replace it, how about it?"

Liu Han immediately shook his head: "This is not good, if the lowly position is in charge, plus the shares of the lowly position itself, other people will feel threatened, and when the lowly position speaks, they will subconsciously join forces, so although this method is simple, it will cause a lot of trouble in the long run." ”

"Oh, that's right," Gonggong Lin nodded in response, and said in a changed tone: "However, I don't care about this, the king of Yanping County and the prince of Xiao Zhao just want to take the opportunity to share some money, the king of Yanping County has no fief, except for the royal court, only rely on a few Zhuangzi outside the city to collect some silver, which is very poor in the clan, not to mention the prince of Xiao Zhao, he borrowed a large amount of silver in Duzhicao, and the old prince Zhao does not plan to pay back the silver, he is making up money, I am a little curious, how did you convince him." ”

Liu Han shrugged: "I suggest that he mortgage Zhao Wangfu and get a sum of silver, then how can Zhao Wangfu be worth 1780,000, mortgage it, pay off the debts of the imperial court, and have some money to invest, I calculated, at most three years, I can pay off the arrears." ”

"I see," Gonggong Lin shook his head slightly: "No wonder Xiao Zhao is looking for money everywhere." ”

"Is there anyone in our internal guard in the Zhao Palace?" Liu Han asked in a slightly surprised manner, and Gonggong Lin smiled: "Duzhi Cao's debt collection is the top priority of the imperial court, and my internal guard naturally has to pay attention to it." ”

"In that case, what is the matter with Liu Chuang?" Liu Han immediately asked.

Gonggong Lin's expression was slightly gloomy, and he sighed softly: "This person is already dead, and he committed suicide in Tingwei Prison that night." ”

Liu Han's brows furrowed even tighter: "How is it possible to commit suicide ?!!!? What is the Tingwei Mansion doing!!

Gonggong Lin said lightly: "Dare to burn Du Zhicao, this person is also a dead man, whether he dies or not, he can't pry his mouth open." ”

Liu Han shook his head: "It's better to have a living mouth than not to have a living mouth, father-in-law, take this opportunity to rectify the Tingwei Mansion." ”

"This is natural, although Mao Wei is a native of Yanzhou, he is a protégé of the Xu family in Jizhou, and he is still contributing to the Tian family at this time. Father-in-law Lin's tone turned cold, and as he spoke, he clapped his hands, and as soon as the applause fell, a middle-aged man came in from outside.
