Honglou: This bastard is too persuasive.

Chapter 272 Intelligence, Zhen family, Jia Qi’s purpose

After talking to Lin Daiyu, he did not go back to his residence directly, but came outside the Xunyan Censor's Mansion.

Several hidden figures were quickly found.

Then he appeared in front of them silently. Several people were stunned for a moment, and then quickly saluted respectfully.

"I have met the young master."

"Okay, there's no need to be polite to me. I think you already know what I told you before. Now tell me about the situation you found out."

The person on the far left among the three people immediately raised his hands and said.

"Sir, the people in the slaughterhouse under me don't get much information because they don't have much time to go out. But after all, those butchers and meat sellers hear more rumors about things, so I got a relatively important one. intelligence."

"The top ten salt merchants in Yangzhou and dozens of small salt merchants are all colluding with each other, and they are likely to have connections with Japanese pirates."

"Although there is no substantial evidence, through various summaries, it can be determined that there is a close relationship between these salt merchants and Japanese pirates."

"There is even a generation of eldest girls in the Liu family who don't like Master Zhen's concubine."

"According to our investigation, after a big shot in the DPRK died of illness two years ago, there was a big salt merchant here in Yangzhou, which was directly divided up by other salt merchants. Later, we decided that this salt merchant was supported by that big shot. of."

"According to what we know, the salt merchants in Yangzhou colluded very closely with the Japanese pirates. Many of the things the Japanese pirates obtained were obtained through the salt merchants, and the salt merchants transported the salt by sea and were protected by the Japanese pirates."

"Second point, what we can be sure of is that behind the scenes of life there must be relationships with big figures in the capital. Whether it is a big-eyed stranger or a small salt merchant, the relationships behind them are intricately intertwined. Only in this way can a balance be maintained. Otherwise, these Competition among salt merchants will be fierce.”

"It can be judged from this that there should be people behind these people to check and cooperate with each other, so that Yangzhou can be in their hands."

He also shut up at this point and took a step back.

"At the same time, we will also use Japanese pirates to fight against hostile forces and provide information."

"But who are the people behind them? We haven't investigated clearly yet."

"Sir, there are a few things that we can confirm when we open a house. The first one is the incident about the Japanese pirates that we just mentioned. The Japanese pirates and the salt merchants are indeed colluding with each other."

"Some time ago, General Niu came to exterminate the Japanese pirates, but they escaped several times because the salt merchants informed them of the news in advance."

"Because our people have seen the two families interacting with each other many times, and the Liu family will also transport some things to the Zhen family."

After he finished speaking, he automatically took a step back, and then in the middle, the man stood up and said.

"So it is certain that the relationship between the two is very close, and it is even possible that some of the Japanese pirates were supported by life."

"The third point, and the only definite news we got, is that the Liu family is one of the top ten salt merchants in Yangzhou. Behind this family, it should be the Zhen family who is also in Jiangnan."

At this time, the last person stood up and said with his hands.

"Sir, many of the craftsmen in our Craftsmen Alliance are responsible for the maintenance and construction of various homes. We happened to have received a job from the Zhen family just before."

"According to the news from our people, the Zhen family and the Jia family should be connected, and there should be people from the Yangzhou Salt Patrol Lin Ruhai's family, and they might even have poisoned Mr. Lin." "Only. But we haven’t investigated the specific matter yet, and it may take some time.”

"Similarly, we also got news that there seems to be something wrong with this Zhen Jia, because the things they built look very strange, and they asked us to build them according to their methods."

"But those buildings don't look like rooms or secret rooms. Instead, they look like specific sacrifices or specific items."

Jia Qi watched him retreat, and then sent the three of them away without letting them keep all the information they had obtained.

After they all left, another man in black suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Meet the young master."

"Okay, get up. How is the investigation going on what I want you to investigate?"

"According to our investigation, the people who poisoned Mr. Lin are indeed the Zhen family and the Jia family. Even the people who poisoned and those who contacted them, we have clues and can take them down at any time."

"But of the other two people who poisoned him, one is definitely from the capital, but who he is is not yet certain. The other has not taken action yet, and he doesn't know who he is specifically."

"Just give us some more time to investigate and figure it out."

Jia Qi nodded and said.

"The investigation of those people can continue. At the same time, you will send more manpower to verify the things just mentioned one by one. If you are sure, tell me. If you are not sure or you really can't find it out, please tell me."

"Since the Jia family has assigned me this task, what do I want to do? The existence behind these people has been told to them, and then it depends on how they choose."

The reason why Jia Qi chose to go south was to relieve Lin Daiyu's worries so that Lin Ruhai could successfully return to the capital.

The other is to investigate the real mountain elves and wild monsters behind these people and kill them to improve their talents.

And the last one is also to try, can I control the salt merchants in Jiangnan?
Because the tax revenue from Jiangnan alone can supplement 1/4 of the national treasury.

If you can control this place, they will be your greatest help if you want to truly dominate the world in the future.

But if you want to do this, you have to rely on yourself. Violent suppression will not work. Even if these people are suppressed, the people behind them can still support new forces.

And although I can also use people who are loyal to me to turn these people into myself little by little, it takes too long.

Let’s not say it’s not worth the loss, I can only say it’s not worth it.

After all, he is a systematic person. He only needs to let these people give him some malicious suggestions, and he may achieve his goal. Why bother to conquer them so much?
So now he doesn't want to take action at all. He still wants to see how they act. It's best to give him some malicious suggestions, then everything will be solved.

After he made some arrangements, people from the island country who went south behind him, as well as people from other major forces, also came to Jiangnan.

On this day, all the important people in the courtyard had more distinguished guests, and their goals were all the same, which was Jia Qi who was going south this time.
