There are many underground salt mines in Sichuan, and many merchants went to Sichuan to fetch salt with salt guides, so Baoning Prefecture and Shunqing Prefecture were very prosperous, and many big merchants would stay there.
Zhao Ruzhen often went to Baoning Mansion to sell embroidery, she was good at needlework, those merchants liked Zhao Ruzhen's handicraft very much, and they became familiar with it after a few visits.
"There is a big merchant named Zhuang in Baoning Prefecture who does business with merchants from the southeast and Shanxi. It¡¯s so difficult, that¡¯s why I wrote to you and told you that when you marry and go to the southeast, my mother and I want to go and have a look.¡±
Xu Qinghuan nodded, she wrote a letter from Ruzhen before she got married, and the letter did say so.
Zhao Ruzhen went on to say: "Let's not mention this, my mother and I happened to meet the Zhuang family on the way to the middle of Beijing. They also came to the capital. I thought the Zhuang family was here for business. Later, the second master of the Zhuang family revealed to me and my mother, He came to the capital to find someone, and the few merchants that his family had come and gone with suddenly disappeared, and those people owed their dealer a lot of money.
We were just doing business, we were not very familiar with each other, and we traveled together because we happened to meet together"
When Zhao Ruzhen said this, there was a noise outside, as if someone had kicked a stone.
Xu Qinghuan said: "It may be that the birds under the eaves are taking over their nests, and they are not very peaceful when spring comes."
Zhao Ruzhen didn't doubt that there was him, but her train of thought was interrupted, and she continued after thinking about it: "So my mother and I didn't ask any more questions. I saw Second Master Zhuang again in Beijing yesterday. Second Master Zhuang said that the person he was looking for Already dead, they met refugees on the way to transport food, the food was robbed, and the merchant was also killed by the refugees.
The refugees strung the merchant on a wooden pole and tortured him for a long time
Zhuang Erye went to see the place where the man was killed, and indeed found a lot of refugees there, and Zhuang Erye was also targeted by the refugees, and his property was robbed by the refugees, thanks to the soldiers patrolling the guards passing by , otherwise it will cost your life.
Possibly because of fright, Second Master Zhuang always felt that he was being followed, for fear that someone would sneak into the yard when it was dark and arrest him and kill him. "
Xu Qinghuan said: "Since this is the case, why doesn't the dealer leave the capital?"
Zhao Ruzhen nodded in agreement: "I also asked, Zhuang Erye said that one night he heard those people discussing how to kill him, and they wanted to wait for him to go out of Beijing and take advantage of no one around to attack him."
Xu Qinghuan frowned slightly. Those people wanted to harm Second Master Zhuang, so why did they discuss this matter in front of Second Master Zhuang: "Didn't Second Master Zhuang let the Zhuang family be in charge to arrest those people?"
"Yes," said Zhao Ruzhen, "the Zhuang family searched everywhere but didn't see anyone, so the Zhuang family is now seeking medical treatment everywhere to treat Zhuang Erye's illness."
Zhao Ruzhen took a sip of tea: "This matter seems to be very clear, but I always feel that there is something wrong with it."
Xu Qinghuan didn't speak yet, only heard a voice hurriedly said: "Of course there is a problem, sister Ruzhen, you'd better ignore the Zhuang family."
Xu Qinghuan sighed, and her brother really couldn't hold it back for a moment, unlike Master Song, even if he climbed over the wall to see her, he had to try every means to get her to call him into the room.
It won't make people happy that elder brother throws himself into the net like this.
Xu Qing'an walked in quickly, and Zhao Ruzhen hurriedly got up and saluted.
"Sister Ruzhen, don't be too polite." Xu Qing'an's eyebrows stretched, and there was no trace of shame on his face, as if eavesdropping was a matter of course, "I think the Zhuang family must be in trouble, and sister Ruzhen can't see her again. The Zhuang family is very likely to be implicated by them. It is best to move to the Hou's residence. Our residence has many guards, so we can protect Mrs. Zhao and my sister well.
Even if my sister doesn't plan for herself, she should take care of Mrs. Zhao. "
Xu Qingan winked at Xu Qinghuan as he spoke.
Xu Qinghuan wanted to pretend he didn't see it: "My brother is right." She wasn't talking to her brother, there was really something wrong with the dealer's case.
Xu Qing'an was very happy, and continued to work hard: "Maybe there will be ghosts and ghosts making trouble." Zhenren Zhang told him that girls are afraid of ghosts and ghosts, and if they raise their mouths at critical moments, there will be unexpected results, "My house is full of talismans. , cost me a lot"
"Brother," Xu Qinghuan said with a straight face, "don't scare sister Ruzhen, there are no such things in this world, and I believe that someone deliberately scares the Zhuang family. If such a story is spread ten times, many people like the Zhuang family will watch it. And stop."
Zhao Ruzhen listened carefully to Xu Qinghuan's words.
Xu Qinghuan said: "Many merchants believe in ghosts and gods.The former merchant died miserably, and Zhuang Erye went crazy because of it. If it wasn't for someone with a serious relationship, he probably wouldn't be involved in this incident again.
The murderer who killed the merchant didn't know the relationship between the dealer and the merchant, and deliberately frightened Erye Zhuang was also testing Erye Zhuang's details. "
Zhao Ruzhen heard the key point: "Qing Huan, do you mean that the people who killed merchants were not refugees?"
"No," Xu Qinghuan said, "What the refugees want to rob is food, and they will never use such cruel methods to kill a person. The murderer tortured the merchant and put the merchant in extreme pain. Maybe in addition to punishment, he is interrogating .¡±
Xu Qing'an frowned and said: "Since the murderer suspects the dealer, why didn't he kill the dealer?"
"It's not good for him to kill so many people," Xu Qinghuan said, "The more people he kills, the more his whereabouts will be exposed." She was curious about why the man didn't let Zhuang Erye leave the capital.
Xu Qinghuan thought about it and his eyes lit up: "Maybe he still has important things to do. Before that, he has to be careful. He kept Erye Zhuang because he wanted to wait for him to finish the most important things. Deal with the bankers."
After Xu Qinghuan finished speaking, she looked at Zhao Ruzhen: "Sister Ruzhen talked to Second Master Zhuang, and that person probably noticed it. Mrs. Zhao and Sister Ruzhen didn't bring any guards around, so it's really not safe to live outside."
Xu Qing'an raised his face slightly, and he was indeed right. He was no longer Wuxia Amon, and his impression in Sister Ruzhen's heart must have changed.
"What exactly are they trying to do?" Zhao Ruzhen really didn't understand.
Xu Qinghuan looked at Zhao Ruzhen: "Sister Ruzhen still remembers what Wang Yun wants to do when he goes to Fengxiang?"
Zhao Ruzhen said: "Take the money from the rebels."
Xu Qinghuan continued: "They used the White Dragon King to smuggle goods at sea and made a lot of money. They tried to make money in this way, because it is really not easy to garrison troops and food in private. You can't buy and sell these things on the surface, you can only buy them at a high price. So, who will help them buy food and grass?"
"Merchants," Zhao Ruzhen said, "those merchants who transport grain northward in exchange for salt."
"Now that King Jian is dead, what should these merchants do?" Xu Qinghuan said, "The trees fell and the monkeys scattered, as long as the court can't find them, those merchants will pretend that nothing happened.
If you want to preserve King Jian's foundation, someone must appear to punish those who want to get away and let them know that although King Jian is dead, there are still people in charge of everything, and those who betray can only die. "
Zhao Ruzhen looked at Xu Qinghuan with surprise on her face: "Is there anyone else who wants to revive King Jian's banner?"
Xu Qinghuan nodded. She was just skeptical before, but now she is sure that King Jian may have been prepared. If he dies unfortunately, someone will inherit his great cause and make a comeback in time.
Who is that person?
No matter who he is, she will cut off his way first, and from then on, she will never think about buying and selling grain through merchants.
These grains are no longer theirs, but hers.
She wants to keep these grains in Nanzhili for those poor tenants and people.
If you have the ability, come and grab her and see who is more powerful. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
