Chapter 196 Mooncake (X)

Meeting the girl's gaze, Lin Fei said, "There are two types of businesses that the Yuan family switched to after the decline of the lantern business."

"Jiangling is a city of water. One of them is to take advantage of Jiangling's convenient waterways and geographical advantages to operate fleets and do water transport business." Lin Fei paused at this point, his brows furrowed, "It's just these few days. There have been many floods in various places in the past year, the business on the water is not as good as before, and the luck of the Yuan family is not good. When transporting valuable goods, they encountered several storms and waves, which damaged a lot of goods, so they lost a lot of money!"

It's not just that the Yuan family's fleeting years are unfavorable!
"Last year, many fleet businessmen went out to sea and made a lot of money. The Yuan family was jealous, so they let the merchant ships go out to sea together, but they got lost and encountered waves. I heard that they lost all their money!"

This toss... Wen Mingtang couldn't help being silent when he heard this, and said: "The person who runs the merchant ship business of the Yuan family is either really unlucky or not suitable for business!"

Lin Fei heard her, glanced at her, and said, "It is said that it was the idea of ​​the one who wanted to gouging out the eyes!"

Wen Mingtang: "...With this descendant, the ancestors of the Yuan family would get up so angry that they would drag him away!"

It's really better to be a wealthy idler and stop messing around!

Feeling Wen Mingtang's emotion, the corners of Lin Fei's lips seemed to tap slightly, but before everyone could see clearly, he returned to his previous appearance, and continued: "The other kind of business has always been very good..."

Before finishing speaking, Lin Fei suddenly stopped.

Facing the urging eyes of Wen Mingtang and others, Lin Fei paused, and said, "This business is a bit special, it's a business of making tombstones for the dead!"

This business is the same as the coffin shop and the paper money shop, which is somewhat taboo.

"The business of the Yuan family has always been doing well, but because this business is quite taboo, there are often those physiognomy masters who say that this business will suppress the younger generations of the clan, so that the younger generations are not in good health, weak and sick!" Lin Fei said, "Miss Yuansan wrapped in a cloak is a fault brought from her mother's womb. Many people in the Yuan family believe that it is because of this business that they have overcome Miss Yuansan."

Because he believed that Miss Yuansan had been restrained, the grumpy one, who Lin Fei said was the son of Erlang of the Yuan family, brought his younger sister to the capital to see if there were any unborn "superior" to help resolve it.

As for why Lin Fei followed the Yuan family, it was thanks to Liang Hongjin.

"A few days ago, when Zhao You and I were going out, we happened to meet your friend Liang female general outside the city. She was holding a Taoist priest in one hand and shaking it like a chicken cub!" Lin Fei said.

Passers-by who saw the situation looked sideways, thinking that Liang Hongjin was a female bully from somewhere.

Fortunately, Lin Fei and Zhao You knew Liang Hongjin, and after asking about it, they found out what the Taoist priest Liang Hongjin was holding in his hand had done.

"The Taoist priest of Lin Yuanguan pretended to be gods and ghosts, and played tricks. He was known as a master of the world. There were many bachelors in the Ganzhi guard of Liang Nujiang. Yuan Guanli." Lin Fei said, "The Taoist cheated him a lot of money, and he was planning to run away. But when he learned of his identity as a Ganzhiwei, he was probably a little scared, and he didn't dare to provoke people in the government. After a while, he really brought a young woman, who he said was given to him by the gods and Buddhas."

"The kid didn't know why, so he was very happy. When he took the man back, he saw the woman shivering in fear, and her eyes dodged. After questioning, he realized that the woman was given to a Taoist priest. The Taoist priest is a lustful hungry ghost. I wanted to attack her, but because I was afraid of the people in the government, I gave the girl to him, and threatened the girl not to talk nonsense, or she would be punished to death by the "Master Guan"!" Lin Fei shook his head when he said this, "Liang female general found out after she found out."

Just when Liang Hongjin confronted the Taoist priest, Lin Fei came over. Since Lin Fei bumped into him, he naturally wouldn't let the matter go, so he simply settled all the accounts on him with the Taoist priest.

It was only later that I learned that this Taoist priest pretended to be a ghost, and he was cheating money on weekdays.If it is a woman who is deceived, and she is good-looking, she will deceive money and people, claiming that the gods have descended to the earth, and ask them to sacrifice themselves.Most people sensed that something was wrong and turned around and ran away, but there were also some who suffered from being dumb and were deceived before recovering.Perhaps it was good luck, those cheated women wanted to save face and kept silent, which made these villains continue to be arrogant until now.

Later, according to the Taoist priest, he recently met a group of wealthy foreigners who were generous with money. The young man was rich but had no brains. up.The one who gave it to Liang Hongjin's Ganzhiwei was one of the found ones.

"I found the other two in the Taoist priest's cellar, and there are three in total." Lin Fei said this, and turned his gaze to Wen Mingtang and the others, especially after he paused for a moment on the thoughtful Wen Mingtang. He continued, "Those young women's accents don't resemble those of Chang'an locals. I asked them where they came from, only to find out that they were sold to Chang'an."

Hearing this, Wen Mingtang and the others couldn't help being disappointed, and Tang Yuan couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "In that case, although Yuan Erlang is a villain, the lost ladies have nothing to do with him."

Hearing what Lin Fei said, Yuan Erlang really had nothing to do with the lost little lady, but how could a person like Lin Fei arrest an irrelevant person for no reason?

"I didn't think much about it at first, but I had nothing to do, so I went to Renyazi's place with the Ganzhiwei people," Lin Fei said, and glanced at Wen Mingtang, "Your friend Liang The female general said that she has a friend whose house is short of maidservants, and if she wants to buy a few with money, she can save one of them."

Those women who fell into the hands of Ren Yazi are not bad if they can be sold to decent people as maidservants, and most of them are like those three women who are sold to some evil ghosts wearing human skins tortured.

As a result, when the three women pointed the way to find the place where Ren Yazi was going, they were all in vain. It turned out that the house where Ren Yazi stayed was rented.

As a result of habit, Lin Fei also suspected that the three women were lying, but what they said was consistent with what the landlord who rented the house said. The woman who was rarely found was in her young age, and her appearance was not ugly.

The homeowner naturally doesn't know much about the closed door.On the contrary, the three women who were also locked in said that they once heard the human tooth say, "There will be new products in a while, but there are some problems with the source, and we have to work at night."

Although the three of them were also sold, they were sent in during the day anyway, so they naturally knew that there must be problems if they had to work at night.

Although he didn't know if it would be useful, he told Lin Fei everything.

Lin Fei felt that something was wrong at that time, so he asked the three of them to talk more, thinking about what else was unusual.

The three women who were sold thought about it, and then felt that this person was not on the right path, because when they were bought, it seemed that they were not bought in the daytime.

Once or twice may be a coincidence, but the longest of these women has been in the hands of Ren Yazi for five months, and only then did he realize that it seems to be like this every time.

Could this be a coincidence?do not know.

However, since this time includes Yuan Erlang, it is natural to take Yuan Erlang away for questioning.
