Starting from Detective Li Yuanfang Chapter 656: Ming Zunjiao wants three thousand guans from me. I want to use Mingzunjiao as a chamber of commerce. Isn’t that too much?
Chapter 656: Ming Zunjiao wants three thousand guans from me. I want to use Mingzunjiao as a chamber of commerce. Isn’t that too much?
"Young master Lin is indeed very discerning. This Pei Xuan may seem inconspicuous, but he is really quite capable!"
Gao Qiu tasted the fragrant tea and showed a look of victory: "He was in charge of the interrogation. The spy next to Madam Cui was finally found. She was a maid named Ling Niang. She had been a member of the Houjiang Guild for a long time, and she actually learned it.
He wanted to curse Madam Cui to death with his magic skills. He was really vicious. If we hadn’t gone to Fanlou that night, this charming courtesan would definitely have died..."
Ding Run raised his eyebrows and said, "Then this red-branded lady must not be completely devoted to Gaotidian, or should she take a concubine?"
In front of the two of them, Gao Qiu no longer had any scruples in speaking: "I want to be a high official in the future. It would be too embarrassing to take a prostitute home as a concubine. I'd better forget it. Judge Ding won't think about it...
Ah, that’s not what I meant!”
Ding Run didn't take it seriously: "You mean I can't be a high-ranking official? Tsk, I don't think I can be a high-ranking official! But forget it about taking concubines. I can feed the whole family by myself, and I don't want to leave any loopholes. I'll think about it when the time comes.
It’s not fun to do anything…”
Gao Qiuqiu said: "Judge Ding's words are so strange. How can marrying a wife and taking concubines be a flaw?"
Ding Run chuckled and closed his mouth.
Li Yanze asked: "How is Lady Cui's health now?"
Gao Qiu asked: "Doctor An treated her and adjusted her qi and blood. It seems that she is fine now?"
Li Yan heard the lack of confidence in An Daoquan in his tone, and explained: "No one who is good at fighting has great achievements. My medical skills are very effective, and they seem to be brilliant, but in fact they are not as good as An Daoquan in medical science. Let him take care of Lady Cui's body."
, I feel relieved, but you have to pay attention to safety and be careful of Mingzun teaching thieves to take risks."
Gao Qiu still didn't quite understand why this man who treated patients quickly and well said that his medical skills were not as good as that of An Daoquan who was slow to administer needles. But he nodded and said, "Don't worry, we will definitely take good care of such an important witness."
Li Yan was worried, but it was impossible to keep an eye on everything. Ding Run asked, "Can the maid Lingniang identify Ye Dianzhi, the young master?"
Gao Qiu said coldly: "No, she doesn't know that the spell is a method taught by Ming Zun, but it is a bit troublesome."
Ding Run frowned and said: "If we can only confirm the murder of Madam Cui, but not the Ming Zunjiao, then it is obviously impossible to arrest everyone in the guild for this small crime. We must identify important people, and then
Expand to the entire guild.”
Gao Qiu said: "I think so too. Fortunately, the spirit mother has now confessed that someone did deliberately kill these famous prostitutes. The missing official prostitutes did not escape privately, but were murdered by thieves. This matter has a huge relationship. Once it is found out,
It’s enough to condemn General Hou’s Chamber of Commerce!”
Li Yanning said: "But the reason why this case has never been investigated is because prostitutes have a humble status. Even if they are popular for a while, once they pass away, no one will care. Whether they are missing or murdered, there are too few people who really care.
, on the other hand, it was Fan Lou’s power that suppressed these scandals.”
Gao Qiu showed fear: "Yes, if we investigate the disappearance of these official prostitutes, it will inevitably involve Fan Lou. This is really troublesome. How about I go talk to the shopkeeper?"
Ding Run shook his head: "It won't be of much use to talk about it. Fan Lou is originally a club of the Aluminum Industry Guild. It is naturally close to the Houjiang Guild and is good at making friends with powerful people. It offended it last time by taking someone, and this time it will be punished."
There is no room for relaxation when investigating the disappearance of the prostitute..."
Gao Qiu snorted coldly: "Then let's do it. As I said before, our Imperial City Division can't make it close directly, but we can make it open unpleasantly!"
Li Yandao: "The key is to find out the disappearance of the official prostitute. It is the evil things that Mingzun taught the thieves did in order to practice evil methods. Only then can the teacher be famous."
Gao Qiu thought for a while: "Let Pei Xuan take action. This person is capable. He is not afraid of external disturbances and is dedicated to investigating. I admire him very much."
Ding Run said quietly: "I'm afraid such a person will not survive for a long time!"
This is correct. Pei Xuan is also one of the 108 generals. He was ranked 47th in the original plot. He was a local official. He was an official in his early years and later served as Liuyu Kongmu. He was Qiu, Gongsun Zhao's good friend.
Although he is just a subordinate, he is the chief official in charge of prison litigation, accounts, dispatch and other matters, and has considerable power.
However, this man was upright and had an "iron face", which was not tolerated by other officials in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty. He was persecuted and turned into a bandit. After taking refuge in Liangshan, he was appointed as the "Military and Political Department in charge of determining merit, rewards and punishments."
It was quite appropriate to arrange this position based on his personality, but think about the brotherly environment in Liangshan. Li Kui made mistakes all day long, and Song Jiang always verbally scolded him. He couldn't even do a small punishment, let alone a big warning.
The so-called rewards and punishments for meritorious deeds are just a window-dressing.
Now that the Imperial City Division is responsible for punishing rape and eradicating evil, Li Yan hopes that Pei Xuan can play a role. After arranging the matter, he asked: "Has the investigation of the information about the Houjiang Guild been completed?"
Gao Qiu was a little embarrassed: "I did send my men to conduct a thorough investigation, but so far, they are only superficial."
"No problem!"
Li Yan took a compiled book, flipped through it a few times, and understood everything: "According to the current investigation, the main business of the Houjiang Guild is paper making, ink making and printing, and secretly there are
It’s hard to say what industry it is, but the main part is culture and education, so there should be no problem.”
He initially thought that the word "Houjiang" comes from "Houjiang wins the public" in "Zheng Beike Duan Yu Yan", which means that the land has expanded and will be supported by the people. Such a name is naturally related to real estate, in order to annex
I later found out that this guild was engaged in culture and education.
Because of this, it is actually very difficult. Li Yan looked slightly solemn: "This is very troublesome..."
Gao Qiu was puzzled: "What does Mr. Lin mean by this? These industries are not prohibited goods, so what trouble will we have if we take them down?"
Siluke
Li Yandao: "Take the printing industry as an example. As early as the Warring States Period, printing had already begun to take shape. However, the scale of printing at that time was very small. As time went by, printing gradually experienced the development of ink rubbing stone tablets, withered plates, and movable type plates.
stage, now it can be said to be the most prosperous period for the development of the printing industry."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "If it weren't for the developed printing industry, there would be no way to open so many academies in various places. The former Tang Dynasty even wanted to develop literature and education, but it didn't have the conditions. Among them
Naturally, there is strong support from the imperial court.”
Gao Qiu and Ding Run thought of his Sui'an Academy and both nodded.
Li Yan continued: "Like the printing industry, paper making and ink making are also necessary industries for the development of culture and education. The court's support for them is inseparable from the attitude of governing the country with culture. In essence, it is to enhance the status of literati."
"Under the implementation of this policy, the importance of these industries is closely connected with the national destiny. However, compared with tea, iron, salt, and wine, they are prohibited commodities exclusively sold by the government. The imperial court has little control over paper making, ink making, and printing.
There are restrictions, which gives private chambers of commerce huge room for utilization."
"I'm sure that not only the Houjiang Guild, but also the six major chambers of commerce are involved in this area. However, according to this record, the number of printing centers currently controlled by Houjiang Guild in various states and counties across the country ranks second.
First, he is just the leader in this industry."
Ding Run understood: "Precisely because this industry is the most important industry besides prohibited goods, the other five major chambers of commerce will pounce upon them when they see an opportunity, and the Imperial City Division cannot scare them away!"
Li Yan nodded: "Yes, if it is just a few restaurants and shops, the other major guilds may be jealous and retreat under the authority of the Imperial City Secretary, but it is related to the cultural and educational disputes.
They will not retreat."
"Fortunately, the five major chambers of commerce are obviously in harmony with each other. Everyone wants to monopolize it, but they don't want to be taken over by others. They fight overtly and secretly, which gives Houjiang Guild a chance to breathe."
After analyzing this, Li Yan looked at Gao Qiu: "Gao Qiu, regarding the leader of the meeting, Ye Jichang, how is his investigation going?"
Gao Qiu was even more embarrassed: "I didn't go too deep, but according to other businessmen's knowledge, this man has always acted viciously, especially the business opponents who opposed him. Sometimes he lost inexplicably. As time went by, no one dared to provoke him.
, of course now everyone knows that he is colluding with Wuyoudong, and actually has a deep connection with Mingzun Sect..."
Li Yan frowned slightly: "This kind of pure speculation cannot be counted!"
He has been paying attention to the situation in the prison since he sent Shishi in. Judging from the current abundance of talents in the prison and its happy development, the possibility of Shaodong's conspiracy is extremely high.
This plan is successful and can affect the entire Houjiang Guild, but it is hard to say who will get the final benefits. Li Yan is interested in culture and education, and naturally does not want to work hard to marry other businessmen.
clothes.
He sighed softly: "The fundamental reason is that we are too slow. Not only is military speed important, many competitions are actually about speed. If you are faster than others, you will succeed. On the contrary, if you are a small step slower, you will miss it."
, got nothing!”
If it was the night when the inner guards of the Tang Dynasty, the Shaodong family, Lady Cui, and the others were taken to prison, the maid spirit lady would have been found out, and then the investigation of the murdered and missing official prostitutes would have been logically started. I am afraid that the third step would have been carried out by now.
, the ins and outs of General Hou Ye Ji Chang, the leader of the guild, were clearly understood.
Seven days had passed and he had just taken the first step. The efficiency was so different. In addition, there were so many people staring at this fat piece of meat. Li Yan really felt that he couldn't lead the Imperial City Division.
Ding Run fell silent, and Gao Qiu's cheek muscles twitched violently, but he asked: "Master Lin, what should we do now?"
Li Yan pondered for a moment and then said: "I want to contact a foreign aid and at the same time, I must share part of the proceeds from the house raid."
Gao Qiu hurriedly said: "This is no problem. As long as we can capture the Chamber of Commerce of that thick general, we should give up some!"
Li Yan smiled peacefully: "Ask Gao Ti to borrow some people to solve a problem. In my Sui'an Medical Clinic, there is a shopkeeper and a clerk who have embezzled three thousand guan. According to observations during this period, they
It is very likely that it has something to do with the Ming Zun Sect..."
"Ming Zunjiao covets me for three thousand guans, so I take Mingzunjiao as a trade association. This may be what Buddhism calls karma and karma!"
