False Eunuch: With Many Children, I'm as Happy as a Fish in Water

"unlucky!"

Jia Lian was holding back the evil fire, but he could only walk out of the inner room in frustration.

Wang Xifeng won't let him touch it today.

Even his long-coveted maid Ping'er and Wang Xifeng were wary of Jia Lian as if they were wary of thieves.

Although in front of outsiders, Jia Lian is the superior Lian Erye.

But inside the house, Wang Xifeng's temper overwhelmed Jia Lian and refused to let him take a concubine.

For Jia Lian, it would be better to kill him directly.

Just when Jia Lian was feeling a little uncomfortable, the boy next to him said mysteriously: "Second Master, I heard that a beautiful cook has come to the kitchen. Do you want to go and have a look?"

Beautiful cook?

Hearing these words, Jia Lian immediately became angry.

"Let's go and have a look!"

According to Wang Xifeng's words, Jia Lian never refuses beautiful women.

The original words are: even if it’s dirty or smelly, you won’t be afraid to eat it!

at the same time.

Lin Chen, who had separated from Wang Xifeng before, had no plans to visit Heshen's house.

He did not expect that the clues to this case would be obtained from the woman Wang Xifeng.

Not only that.

[Hongxing cheated, congratulations to the host for getting the reward gift pack]

Tsk.

Lin Chen looked at the line of text prompted by the system and twitched the corners of his mouth.

"Open the gift bag."

Lin Chen had previously made speculations about what could be obtained from the gift pack.

Now you can use this to judge whether it is correct or not.

[The gift bag has been opened]

[Obtain 20,000 tons of refined gunpowder]

[Get five hundred thousand taels of silver]

[Obtain three sailing battleships from the Great Navigation Period]

[Obtain 1,000 Spanish flintlock muskets]

Lin Chen looked at the gift package he got from Wang Xifeng.

"This confirms my guess." Lin Chen said thoughtfully. "But last time it was a rebellion gift package. Is it a grand sailing package this time?"

He glanced at the sailing battleship inside his backpack.

This wooden warship existed during the Great Navigation Period and was the capital ship used by maritime powers such as Spain and the United Kingdom at that time.

It is about 70 meters long, has a full load displacement of more than 3,000 tons, is equipped with a hundred artillery pieces, and can carry 800 crew members.

In contrast.

Li Tang also had naval vessels in the inland rivers.

The most famous one is probably the building ship. Compared with the sailing battleship, the two are almost the same in size, but their different combat environments lead to huge differences in performance!

but.

If a sailing battleship were placed on an inland river, its terrifying hundreds of cannons would probably not find any opponent.

After all, they are not from the same era.

The items in this gift package are of little use to Lin Chen right now.

The only thing worth noting should be these 1,000 flintlock guns.

This thing is hundreds of years more advanced than the matchlock gun that Xiao Zhao gave in the previous gift pack, but currently Lin Chen can't find a good opportunity to use it.

"Let's see for now."

Lin Chen comforted himself and headed towards the Sitong Chamber of Commerce.

This Sitong Chamber of Commerce is quite famous in the capital.

Because it has relationships with many businesses in Sichuan and Sichuan, it has issued Sitong bills.

The so-called four-way bill is actually a type of Jiaozi.

For a chamber of commerce to be able to issue Jiaozi, one can imagine the strength of the other party.

"Prince Duan?"

An inexplicable look appeared on Lin Chen's face.

Lin Chen knew this King Duan very well.

King Duan, named Zhao Ji.

Yes.

If Lin Chen guessed correctly, it was the famous Song Huizong.

Zhao Ji's father was also one of the kings with different surnames entrusted to him by the late Emperor Li Tang.

However.

Compared with the other six kings with different surnames, Zhao Ji's father seemed to have learned from the deeds of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty and decisively handed over military power.

From then on, An Xin became a wealthy prince in the capital.

It seems that in order to commend his example, Emperor Li Tang continued to reward this prince every year, and also tacitly allowed him to do business.

Unexpectedly, the late emperor was already dead before he could raise the knife.

I don’t know what Zhao Ji’s father thought when he heard the news.

certainly.

The prince also died of illness in the same year and month, leaving Zhao Ji to inherit the throne.

Just as Lin Chen knew Zhao Ji's temperament.

I like to draw and write, and even better play Cuju.

Now if we want to investigate whether Zhao Ji is related to the Beida warehouse theft case, Li Zhao may not be able to deal with it.

After all, King Duan didn't look like a threat.

Furthermore, if something happens to King Duan, what will the other six kings with different surnames think?

Did it give the other side a good excuse to raise troops?

"No wonder that old fox Zhuge doesn't want to get involved in this case."

Because if this case is not handled well, there is a high probability that Li Zhao will be thrown out as a scapegoat.

Don’t you see why Chao Cuo, the minister of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty?

Thinking of this, Lin Chen felt a little troubled.

but.

There are no other clues at the moment, so we can only go to the Sitong Chamber of Commerce to take a look.

Lin Chen felt that Li Zhao had some kind of conspiracy in this matter.

Otherwise, Shangguan Wan'er would not have been ordered to take charge of the case.

Lin Chen, who came all the way to Sitong Chamber of Commerce, raised his head and looked at the attic of a large villa in front of him.

In order to show its financial strength, the Sitong Chamber of Commerce also carved a photo out of golden nanmu.

Those four big gilded characters: Sitong Chamber of Commerce!

You must know that golden nanmu was a royal tribute in ancient times. It was against the rules for outsiders to use it, and it would punish the nine tribes.

The Sitong Chamber of Commerce did not shy away from this, which shows that King Duan was deeply honored by the late Emperor Li Tang.

When the boy from the Chamber of Commerce in front of the door saw Lin Chen coming in, he quickly stepped forward to greet him with a kind attitude.

"My lord, do you want to withdraw money and goods, or do you want to arrange for the goods to be escorted?"

Lin Chen couldn't help but be speechless after being introduced by the boy.

The businesses covered by this Sitong Chamber of Commerce are so complete!

Deposit your silver and withdraw it with a four-way bill of exchange.

It can also detain valuables. If it is lost, Sitong Chamber of Commerce will compensate twice as much.

There is even a business similar to express delivery!

It is also commonly known as escort in ancient times.

After listening to the boy's description, Lin Chen had a hint of surprise in his eyes.

but.

When the young man saw that Lin Chen was indifferent, he understood.

"My lord, please go to the second floor to discuss this in detail."

Immediately, the servant led Lin Chen to the second floor.

Just look at the second floor. The interior is more luxurious and quieter than the first floor, with fewer guests.

Various antiques and ornaments serve as free ornaments.

Seeing this, you can see how wealthy the Sitong Chamber of Commerce is.

Um? !

Lin Chen suddenly noticed that there was a group of martial arts people on the second floor!

This was the first time Lin Chen saw a martial artist in the capital.

Just look at this group of martial arts people wearing uniform light white cotton robes and swords at their waists.

Especially the two leaders of this group of martial arts people.

One male and one female.

Huh?

Lin Chen looked at the man who was about middle-aged, elegant, and had a straight face. He was also wearing a robe.

Next to this middle-aged man, there is a woman who is quite beautiful.

The elegant man's senses were also quite keen. After noticing Lin Chen's scrutinizing gaze, he nodded and smiled.

Lin Chen saw this and politely returned the gift.

But see.

Among these martial arts people, there was a handsome young man with a sad expression, as if he had a deep grudge against someone.

…
