Yan Cigui

Chapter 63: stare at him

Lin Xun naturally has not forgotten this incident.

 “Could it be that the Duke of Guo disappeared privately?” Lin Xun didn’t believe it.

Xu Jian is a young, careless and careless shopkeeper, but the title of Fu Guogong has been passed down from the beginning of the dynasty. The old Duke was upright when he was alive. Will the successors he cultivated fall into the eyes of money? Can't get out?

 “If you ask me, the Duke of the country will definitely support sending him to an official position,” he said.

Upon hearing this, Chen Gui couldn't help but almost choked.

Seeing Lin Xun questioning him with his eyes, Chen Gui touched his nose and was too embarrassed to expose it directly.

 Send the official to the official.

 The Duke of Fu Guo sent the person who had the idea of ​​​​the treasure to the official.

As for the treasure, what the Duke said from beginning to end was "split with the princess", and it had nothing to do with the Yamen.

 Little Duan calmed down.

People, no matter how much they have to eat or drink, their hearts will beat faster when they suddenly see such a large sum of money.

But her rationality told her that there was a hidden secret behind these two boxes of things, and it was best for the Yamen to investigate.

"Yun Yan is right," Xiao Duan said, "not all of it belongs to the family. We should discuss with the Duke of the country how to deal with it, and then he will take the initiative..."

Lin Yue picked up a gold brick, observed it carefully, and then changed it to another one.

 It is indeed real gold.

Listen to what Chen Gui said before, it was not that the box was discovered while repairing the foundation, but that Yun Yan wanted the treasure, so...

 “How did you know that gold bricks were buried in Lao Shi Alley?” he asked.

Facing her father, Lin Yunyan didn't open her mouth like she was trying to coax little Duan.

“I heard some rumors, and I’m only 60% sure whether it’s true or not.” After thinking about it, Lin Yunyan used a safer explanation, “Later, I saw that Mr. Guo also insisted on doing business in Laoshi Lane, so I was only 80% sure.

Thinking about it now, the Duke of Guo asked the Jingdong family to come forward. In addition to not wanting to be too ostentatious in future business, he also wanted to prevent the gold from seeing the light of day.

Such two boxes of things are a serious matter. Once the yamen investigates seriously, it will be impossible to hide who is behind the Jingdong family and Gao An. "

Lin Yu pondered.

 Sources vary, but he has indeed never heard of gold buried in Lao Shi Lane.

The houses in Laoshi Lane were originally built by a wealthy businessman from the south of the Yangtze River in the previous dynasty. Later, when his family fell into decline, they were sold to three or four businessmen.

Since they also fell into poverty, the house has not been significantly repaired.

Just rely on the tenants to make repairs, and they will never mess with the foundation.

At the beginning of the year, something happened in Lao Shi Alley. Shan Shen made a complete report on the situation of the alley at the Jinluan Hall.

The last time a house was overhauled was in the 24th year of Taixing during the reign of the late emperor. Whether there is a house in which a box was unearthed will need to be compared later.

After that, at least there were no major repairs reported to the government.

 In what year were these two boxes of gold bricks buried? We need to find out whether they were buried quietly.

According to Lin Yu's idea, regardless of whether he is sent to the government or not, he needs to figure out the ins and outs.

"Tell us your plans?" Lin Yu asked his daughter.

Lin Yunyan told the truth: "As previously discussed, we asked Gao An to come forward just to make some money that is not on the books. In order to be able to do business smoothly in Lao Shi Xiang, the BRIC and Fuguo are divided, and we will not join the public. , arrange for someone else to save it.”

Once Lin Xun heard this, he understood.

Shuntian Prefecture’s investigation of Laoshi Alley will definitely affect the construction period. The house cannot be built and cannot be lent to candidates, and their business will be ruined.

Little Duan also understood it, but she was used to it: "gold of unknown origin..."

"You are afraid that the gold bricks are not clean, isn't the Duke afraid?" Lin Yunyan advised, "If he receives a box, he will definitely check the details."

 This is quite true.

Little Duan heard it and asked, "Do you really want others to save it?"

"Looking for someone reliable." This time, Lin Yu answered first.

Seeing his daughter looking at him, Lin Yue did not explain too much, and just said to Xiao Duan: "You must put it away and don't let it leak."

After saying that, he continued to explain to Chen Gui: "Gao'an and the others don't know what's inside. If they ask, they will tell them that they are scripts and manuscripts from the early years. Most of them were banned by the imperial court. They plan to burn them. Let them listen. Even so, don’t say another word outside.”

Chen Gui knew the importance and naturally responded: "Don't worry, the people responsible for digging the foundation are also reliable people, and they will never talk about digging out the box."

On the contrary, Lin Yunyan looked at Lin Yu with a little doubt in her heart. When my father was thinking about a problem, he always had a few little quirks that he hadn't noticed himself. He would rub the side of his index finger with the pad of his thumb, and his right brow would be half a fingernail higher than the left one...

These are what Lin Yunyan has observed over the years.

 Previously, my father must have thought of something. He needed time to confirm his conjecture, so he asked his grandmother to secretly leave the gold brick.

 But I don’t know which direction it is…

 Generally we have agreed upon it, and the boxes are closed and tightly covered.

Lin Yu hurried to go to court.

 The flower hall door is closed again.

Little Duan asked a few people to open it again and take out the gold bricks from the two boxes one by one. After making sure that there were no other items mixed in the boxes, they put them away again.

After everything was done, Chen Gui asked the steward to help him carry a box back to the car, and then sent it to Taohe Zhai.

“Do you have a suitable candidate?” Xiao Duan asked Lin Yunyan.

Lin Yunyan said: "Bury it back, what do you think?"

Little Mrs. Duan was extremely surprised. After hearing Lin Yunyan whispering to her, she nodded thoughtfully: "It's a good idea. Let me think about it again."

On the other side, when Lin Yu arrived, the courtiers were already lining up to climb the steps.

He hurriedly entered the queue and tidied up his appearance.

En Rongbo stood in front of him, turned his head and asked in a low voice: "Why are you here so late?"

"I talked to my family for a while in the morning, but it was late." Lin Yu passed by and looked forward. At the front of the queue on the other side, he saw Xu Jian.

Duke Fu Guo stood very straight. Just looking at his back, you couldn't even notice that his right leg was bad.

If the time and place were not inappropriate, Lin Wei would like to ask Xu Jian what he thought of the two boxes of gold bricks.

 The queue moves forward.

 Xu Jian walked as usual, walking leisurely.

 But, he noticed that someone was staring at him today.

Xu Jian glanced slightly towards where he came from as he walked into the hall by lifting the hem of his clothes.

Just for a moment, his and Lin Yu's eyes met.

Lin Yue looked away calmly. It had to be said that Xu Jian was worthy of having been in a war, and his perception was so keen.

Xu Jian also readjusted his posture, faced forward, lowered his head slightly, and looked like he was respectfully waiting for his Majesty, but he was thinking in his heart, why was Uncle Cheng Yi staring at him for no reason?

He just made a deal with the little princess, and he was extremely generous. He invested a lot of money and received a small amount of dividends. You don't need to look at him like this...

 Could it be that Lao Shi Alley had results in the middle of the night last night?

 The two of them are each thinking about their own things.

 In the morning, the Holy Father officially announced the opening of Enke in the coming year.

This was expected by Xu Jian.

 After the court was over, the courtiers came out of the Jinluan Hall one after another.

 Lin Yuan was thinking about when to have a few words with Xu Jian, but there was never a suitable opportunity, so she put it aside for the time being.

 He has something he wants to investigate.

Xu Jian, who was not on duty, slowly walked out of the palace gate.

Xuansu is waiting for him outside.

“The two brothers who came out of Shuntian Mansion indeed found one of the two businessmen you mentioned,” Xuan Su said in a low voice, “Shenchen followed those two businessmen last night. The British government should be behind them.”

 Xu Jian raised her eyes: "Is it accurate?"

“90% sure,” Xuan Su said truthfully, “but I haven’t found out yet which one from the British government it is.”

 Xu Jian nodded slightly: "Let's go to Taohe Zhai."

It’s time to sign for the gold bricks.

You can't let Uncle Chengyi stare at him for so long just now.

He didn't do anything modest, but he was stared at by his uncle, which made him sweat on the back of his neck.

 Tut.
