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 trained fall into the eyes of money?
Can’t get out?
"If you ask me, I will definitely support the official transfer," 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.
It's time to send the official off.
The Duke of Fu sent the person who had the idea of the treasure to the official.
As for the treasure, the Duke of Guo said from the beginning to the end that he was "separated from the princess", and it had nothing to do with the Yamen.
Xiao 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. How to deal with it should be discussed with the Duke and then he will take the initiative..."
Lin Yu picked up a gold brick, observed it carefully, and then changed it to another one.
It is indeed real gold.
Listening to what Chen Gui said before, it was not the foundation builder who discovered the box, but Yun Yan who wanted the treasure, so...
"How did you know that gold bricks were buried in Lao Shi Lane?" 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 the Duke of Guo also insisted on doing business in Lao Shih Alley, so I was only 80% sure. p>
Now that I think about it, when the Duke of Guo asked the Jingdong family to come forward, he not only didn't want the subsequent business to be too ostentatious, but also wanted to prevent the gold from seeing light.
These two boxes of stuff are a big deal. Once the yamen investigates seriously, it will be impossible to hide who is behind the Jingdong family and Gao An."
Lin Yu pondered.
Sources of information vary, but he has indeed never heard of gold buried in Lao Shih 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 their family fell into decline, they were sold to three or four businessmen.
Since they also fell into poverty, the house has not been overhauled.
Just relying on tenants to make repairs will never damage the foundation.
At the beginning of the year, something happened in Laoshi Alley. Shan Shen gave a complete report on the condition 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. We will need to compare whether there is a house with a box excavated in it.
After that, at least there will be no major repairs reported to the government.
In which year these two boxes of gold bricks were buried, and whether they were buried quietly, we need to find out.
According to Lin Yu's idea, whether he sends it to the government or not, he needs to figure out the ins and outs.
"Tell us your plans?" Lin Yu asked her 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 the future in Lao Shi Xiang, BRIC and Fuguo are divided, and we will not join the public.
, arrange for someone else to save it."
When Lin Xun heard this, he understood.
When Shuntian Prefecture investigates Laoshi Lane, the construction period will definitely be affected. If the house cannot be built and cannot be lent to candidates, their business will be ruined.
Xiao 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 true.
Xiao Duan listened and said: "Really let others save it?"
"Find someone reliable." This time, Lin Yu answered first.
Seeing his daughter looking at him, Lin Yu didn't explain too much, and just said to Xiao Duan: "You must keep it and don't let the news leak out."
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 it's a collection of scripts and books from the early years. Most of them were banned by the imperial court. They plan to burn them. Let them listen to them."
Forget it, don’t say another word outside.”
Chen Gui understood 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."
Instead, 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 guess, so he asked his grandmother to secretly leave the gold brick.
But I don’t know which direction it is...
It was generally agreed upon, and the boxes were closed and tightly covered.
Lin Yu hurried to go to court.
The flower hall door is closed again.
Xiao 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?"
Xiao 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 around and asked softly: "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 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 suitable, Lin Wei would like to ask Xu Jian what he thought of the two boxes of gold bricks.
Queue forward.
Xu Jian walked as usual, walking leisurely.
However, he noticed that someone was staring at him today.
By carrying the hem of his clothes and walking into the hall, Xu Jian glanced slightly towards where he was looking.
Just for a moment, his eyes met with those of Lin Yu.
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, facing forward, lowering his head slightly, as if he was respectfully waiting for the Holy Emperor, but he was thinking in his heart, why is 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 but received a small amount of dividends. Uncle Sincerity shouldn't look at him like this...
Could it be that Laoshi Lane had some 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 Palace one after another.
Lin Yuan was wondering when he would have a few words with Xu Jian, but there was no suitable opportunity, so he 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.
Xuan Su is waiting for him outside.
"The two brothers who came out of Shuntian Mansion were indeed looking for one of the two businessmen you mentioned," Xuan Su said in a low voice, "Shenchen followed those two businessmen last night, and the British government should be behind them." p>
Xu Jian raised her eyes: "Is it accurate?"
"Ninety percent sure," Xuan Su said truthfully, "but I haven't found out yet who 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.
We can't let Uncle Chengyi stare at him for so long just now.
I didn’t do anything modest, but I was staring at him with a layer of sweat on my neck.
