It can almost be said to have come to an abrupt end.
Lin Yu had no choice but to pick up the tea cup and take a sip as a transition and cover.
After talking for a while, the tea has naturally gone cold.
Xu Jian called Xuansu and asked him to prepare another pot of hot water.
Then, he looked at Lin Yu and said calmly: "As I told my uncle before, I only heard my grandfather briefly talk about it, not in detail. Today, I listened to my uncle go over it from the beginning, and I really got a lot of inspiration." Lin Yu smiled and let out a long sigh of relief.
The Duke of Fu is not very old, but he knows how to leave room for others.
Just like when he entered the yard and took the initiative to get a bunch of candied haws, he suddenly shut up and stopped talking. Xu Jian just pretended that he didn't hear it and brought the topic directly...
Nowadays, there are far fewer young people than before who know how to leave room for leeway and do so in such a way that neither party is embarrassed.
Lin Yuan's purpose of this trip was achieved, so he thought about getting up and saying goodbye.
Xu Jian organized his thoughts and asked: "The servant who can bury gold bricks for Li Mi is probably quite trusted by him. Is there anyone he can guess?"
The fingers holding the tea cup gently brushed the rim, Lin Yu looked at Xu Jian, but did not answer immediately.
Xu Jian tilted her upper body slightly, looking like she was listening attentively and asking for advice attentively.
Lin Yu asked after careful consideration: "The Duke is interested in what happens after BRIC?"
Since it was dug out and it was involved in banned books, Lin Yu certainly did not agree with handing it over to the Yamen.
Each family leaves a box and puts it in their own pockets.
If her mother is worried about this, Lin Yu also knows how to persuade her.
She is used to being cautious and pragmatic, and does not worry about such "good things falling from the sky", but she does not understand the ups and downs of the court, and she will not do things that harm the uncle's house.
Because Li Yuanfa shouted in the yamen that the gold bricks were long and the gold bricks were short, nowadays, these things can only be kept.
As for the original owner Li Mi and his followers, they did not dare to trace the whereabouts of the gold bricks in a big way.
After this gust of wind has passed, you can find a gold and silver shop, melt it in batches and beat it again, so you don’t have to worry when you take it out again.
In Lin Yu's view, those who have made money with gold bricks are basically done thinking about it.
Xu Jian looks like he wants to dig deeper.
"With all due respect," Lin Yue had a good impression of this young junior and reminded him, "what happened later is not about building a house in Lao Shi Lane and doing business, but involves the family affairs of the Holy Sage. I just wanted to inquire about it out of curiosity.
If you're not careful, you could cause big trouble."
"What the uncle said is," Xu Jian could hear Lin Yu's good intentions, but he couldn't accept them all. After thinking about his words, he said, "I took these two boxes of gold bricks, but there are still
I can’t let go of worries.”
"Oh?" Lin Yu motioned to Xu Jian and said in detail.
"At the beginning, the person who could watch the copper box being buried with his own eyes must be a capable chamberlain around Li Mi, right?" Xu Jian asked, "Being able to be entrusted by Li Mi with the important matter of hiding money shows that he is always loyal.
As loyal as he is, why would he tell his goddaughter?
Is it because he is no longer loyal to Li Mi in the past ten years, or is there something else that happened to Li Mi?
Or did he let it slip and Lady Wang listened?
Madam Wang met with Cai to show her interest. Zhu Cheng is a fourth master who is not responsible for the family business. What does he want from the Bricks?
The British government does not lack money for him to eat, drink, have fun and support his wife.
Although no one would dislike having a lot of money, it is Li Mi’s gold after all. As you said, if one is not careful, it could lead to disaster. Is it necessary for him to dig it out?
I guess that the Wang brothers first poked their heads in the water, just to see what was going on. After Laoshi Lane was built, they rented the house and spent several months digging slowly.
Unexpectedly, Gao An actually wanted to clean up the entire foundation, so they couldn't wait and started eagerly.
Knowing that it belonged to Li Mi, and knowing that stealing in the middle of the night would easily lead to trouble, he still hurriedly took action. Could it be that Zhu Cheng wanted to use the gold bricks to make a fuss?
If it were me, if I had known that those two boxes of gold bricks belonged to Li Mi, I probably wouldn't have dug them.
Uncle, look, there are so many problems here. If you don’t look inside, you won’t feel confident holding the things."
Lin Yue took a deep look at Xu Jian.
These questions are of course also in Lin Yu's mind.
He would not talk about this with Lin Yunyan, firstly because of Li Mi, and secondly because Yunyan is his daughter.
The title of the Lin family belongs to him, and he should shoulder the family business. Of course, he must also bear the ups and downs, leaving his daughter, nephews, nieces and other younger generations to have a warm spring breeze.
He came up with ways to investigate this series of questions.
Unexpectedly, Xu Jian figured it out and wanted to intervene.
Lin Yue declined politely: "The Duke resigned from the Ministry of War and just wanted to be idle. I thought you were not interested in this."
Xu Jian chuckled lightly without explaining.
This time, Lin Yu left room for him. Of course, you don’t need to explain things you don’t want to explain.
"I'm still saying what I said before. If you investigate further, you may easily cause trouble if you are not careful." Lin Yu said.
Xu Jian said sincerely: "If the two boxes of gold bricks were just greedy for money in the outer room, it would be fine if we hid them.
I'm afraid that she and Zhu Cheng are not looking for money, but have been instructed by that godfather to do things with gold bricks. Now that the road is blocked, they may go crazy for the gold bricks.
If we really let the Xu and Lin families dig out Jing Daduan and Gao An, we would be passive."
Lin Yu deeply agreed.
It's just a private business between the two governments, so it doesn't matter if it's exposed.
The enemy is in the dark and we are in the dark, and we don’t know what story the other side has concocted, involving the banned book and Li Mi’s gold brick, but the other side has preempted it...
"My uncle definitely doesn't want to see that situation, and he must have thought of the questions I raised," Xu Jian looked at Lin Yu and continued, "You just want to investigate quietly by yourself and find out the hidden dangers."
Ruled out, the princess is happily holding the gold bricks, and you will be very satisfied.
This is your loving heart as a father, and I understand it.
But I also got a box of benefits. Even if you do it incidentally, it is equivalent to solving potential troubles for me.
If you don’t get rewarded for your efforts, put in some effort.”
When it comes to this job, how can Lin Yu refuse?
Xu Jian is not his son, how can he receive his loving heart?
"In this case," Lin Yu said, "if we find out anything, let each other know. If there are multiple sources of information, we can gain more."
Xu Jian said: "I must be careful."
Lin Yan turned his head and looked in the direction of the shop in front of him: "Where Yun Yan is, Duke Fu, please keep it a secret."
It’s better for the little girl to bite a few more candied haws on a stick.
"I'm doing business with the princess, so I won't talk about this," Xu Jian said seriously. Seeing that Lin Yu was worried, he added, "I don't know the princess that well either."
Lin Yu thanked him and stood up to leave.
Xu Jian sent him to the front, stood at the top of the stairs and said, "Uncle, go slowly, Princess, go slowly."
Lin Yunyan had a lot of questions to ask Xu Jian. Seeing her father waiting and Xu Jian seeing off guests again, she thought about it and left the shop and got on the carriage.
Thanks to book friend Xu Bicheng’s official girlfriend for the reward.
