Lin Qinghua colluded with Songfeng County government officials and intervened in private trials. The Metropolitan Procuratorate found out and wanted to take him back to Beijing for interrogation.
It seems that the Metropolitan Procuratorate has already gone to Qili County Yamen to get the whole story of the case from Jiang Feng. There is no need for him to appear in court, so he did not tell himself.
Song Liyun frowned slightly: he had sent a message to Lin Qingyuan a month ago, asking him to pay attention to the safety of his property.
But I didn’t expect that the entire Lin Mansion would be confiscated and taken back to the capital...
No, Lin Qingyuan will definitely be taken away too!
Song Liyun's expression changed, and just as he was about to speak out about Lin Qingyuan, he saw the person he had left outside being brought over by the young man from the Wan family.
Fang Zheng first bowed to Manager Wan and Wan Yanming, then walked up to Song Liyun and whispered in Song Liyun's ear: "Young madam, my subordinates just arrived outside the Lin Mansion and saw soldiers surrounding the house, so they didn't come forward.
First, I went to Ruzhu Pavilion according to your instructions. Everything is normal inside. I left a secret message for the shopkeeper and asked Mr. Lin to meet him at Wushi in the Tianzi Seat of Guixiang Tower."
Song Liyun nodded. As long as there was no movement in Ruzhu Pavilion, and there were still several guards from Lao Lu, Lin Qingyuan should be fine.
While the two were talking, Manager Wan Da and Wan Yanming were sitting next to them.
This kind of whispering behavior was originally a bit rude, but the uncles and nephews of the Wan family understood it. One was drinking tea, and the other was enjoying the tea, and both turned away.
After Fang Zheng said that, he stepped back and waited for instructions.
Song Liyun asked him to go down and rest. The news had been spread. Now he could only wait to see if Lin Qingyuan could show up at Wu Shi.
However, she still had to find out more about the Lin family situation from Manager Wan Da.
When he was in Dilu Grassland, Lin Qingyuan mentioned his family affairs, but there were a lot of ambiguities in them and the words were vague. It was not easy for Song Liyun to ask a man about his family affairs.
"Uncle Wan, our business this time is related to Lin Qingyuan of the Lin Mansion. Do you know anything about him?"
Song Liyun did not mention that the Lin Mansion was sealed, but instead inquired about Lin Qingyuan's personality.
As soon as Manager Wan heard Lin Qingyuan's name, his brows instantly knitted into knots.
Song Liyun had asked this person before, and the Lin Qingyuan he knew was a playboy who did not do his job properly.
But now I ask again, given Song Liyun's temperament, he must have discovered something fishy.
Manager Wan Da thought for a while, and did not talk about the inner residence of the Lin Mansion. Instead, he said: "The Lin Mansion has a barely adequate official career and good financial fortune. It is also a big businessman in Pingyang Mansion. And since marrying the Qi family of the imperial merchants, they have taken on some business
The business of selling grain in Dilu Grassland is now booming."
Song Liyun frowned when he heard this: No wonder Lin Qingyuan said that he could transport food in the future. He has connections and resources, and this person cannot be discarded.
Manager Wan Da went on to tell what he knew about the relationship between the Qi family, an imperial businessman, and the nobles in the capital, and finally said: "I heard that before the death of the late emperor, Concubine Qin was very favored, and her mother's family was also honored.
Although the Qi family were only cousins of the imperial concubine, they also received a quota as imperial merchants.
Because the Qi family is responsible for collecting rare treasures for the nobles in the palace, they have the privilege of going out of Xia Shi Pass and into the grassland."
When he said this, he paused for a few breaths before adding: "Actually, the in-laws of the Qi family took the opportunity to smuggle grain, tobacco and alcohol.
Some people say that these caravans also contain fine iron and human beings. Of course, this is just a theory and no one has seen it with their own eyes."
In other words, what I witnessed with my own eyes was already dead.
After Manager Wan Da said this, he said very seriously: "Miss Song, you are close to Wei Suo. You must not know these things, and you cannot know them all. It is better to pretend that you don't know."
Song Liyun's palms tightened: there was a tacit agreement between the two parties to sell grain and salt, and there was no problem with secret trafficking. The Di tribe also sent many horses to the Wu Dynasty.
But refined iron alone was a strategic material. Even the Wu Dynasty had an explicit order prohibiting private possession, so the Qi family dared to sell it privately.
As for the population... not one Qi family can cover the sky with one hand. It is difficult to say that there are not border soldiers who have been deducted from military pay and want to find their own way out.
Now Manager Wan is reminding her not to tell her anything, as it will cause trouble.
Song Liyun had a lot of thoughts at this time, and she might have ignored them based on her previous thoughts.
The Qi family is an imperial businessman with no credentials and the support of the Crown Princess. Even Luo Lun is powerless, let alone a young military girl.
But now...
Song Liyun recalled the ceremony of returning slaves on the grassland, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up.
Be it the imperial concubine or Duke An, these are the things that the nobles in the capital should worry about.
Now that the Uda tribe wants to send back the slaves, it will definitely cause an uproar.
The most panicked people should be the traffickers, and they will soon show up.
She hummed twice and said: "Uncle Wan, don't worry, I know the seriousness of it. Don't say anything to others without evidence."
Manager Wan Da interrupted her: "Don't say it even if you have evidence. Luo Baihu is just a guardhouse. If you poke a hole, he can't guarantee your safety."
Song Liyun laughed: "Uncle Wan is right, the matter is serious and I will not cause trouble to Luo Baihu."
Manager Wan Da never knew which Di tribe Song Liyun was connected to, but he only assumed that she mainly relied on the Golden Guards.
Luo Baihu's abilities are limited. If there are other guard passes that have deals with the grassland tribes, he will be unable to save his life if he knows about it, and it will lead to death.
Of course Song Liyun will not go to Luo Baihu. She only cares about the Lin Mansion being sealed off and whether Lin Qingyuan can escape.
Putting aside the matter of the Lin Mansion, Song Liyun directly talked about wanting to expand the fur business and send wool to the southeast.
The southeast has more people but less land, and textiles are developed in the countryside. Weavers usually use silk as raw materials, and have a set of mature techniques and tools to spin exquisite fine yarns, which are sold to various parts of the Wu Dynasty. Even the shadow of silkworm yarn can be seen on the grasslands.
Song Liyun wanted to send the cleaned and carded cashmere there so that local weavers could spin it into fine wool threads, then weave them into cloth and cut them into garments.
This was also the piece of Qingyunsha given by Wan Yanming that reminded her.
Originally, she wanted the Uda tribe to spin wool thread and weave it into cloth, but the grassland style is rough and they can make exquisite carpets and cashmere blankets from wool, but they are not good at weaving.
The dyeing and craftsmanship of the wool thread spun by Mrs. Wu Ya were far inferior to the Qingyun yarn sent by Wan Yanming.
Song Liyun thought that cashmere was harder to come by than silk that could be cultivated on a large scale. If sold to Southeast Road, it would be soft gold. If it were spun, it would be a huge loss.
When Song Liyun said that she wanted to sell wool, Wan Yanming was not overjoyed, but frowned slightly: "What Miss Song said about cashmere is indeed true. A piece of cashmere cloth is several times more expensive than silk.
There's just one problem: if you open a spinning house specifically, all the equipment inside will have to be modified, and the weaver will have to fumble for a while. She won't see any results for at least a year and a half, so she can't just try it casually.
Miss Song, how much cashmere can you get, and can you ensure sufficient supply?"
When it comes to his own business, Wan Yanming also becomes serious. He is worried that cashmere will be out of stock if he makes early preparations.
After all, it is not easy to travel from Pingyang Mansion to Southeast Road.
Good things have to be eaten one bite at a time!
The luggage drawings that Song Liyun sent earlier were enough to sell for several years, but adding this cashmere seemed too hasty.
Song Liyun smiled calmly: "Don't worry, Mr. Wan, I can give you two hundred catties of cashmere and one thousand catties of wool first, which is enough for you to spin for a year."
Wan Yanming was shocked. It was okay to have a thousand pieces of fur, but when did wool and cashmere start to be counted in hundreds of catties?
