Chapter 727 Looking for clues

After learning about the secret mission, the group accelerated their journey and did not stay in the inn for several days. They just slept in the wilderness, hoping to feel Suhang as soon as possible.

According to the clues sent by Kangxi, Huaiyan will leave the port in half a month. At that time, all the salt merchants will be dispatched. They just need to find out the list of all the salt merchants.

Next to the residence of Lianghuai Yan Censors, there is a three-story Yola Inn. The staff here are complicated. After the group arrived here, they did not rush to find Yan Censors. Instead, they directly wrapped all the three floors of the inn, so that they could better look at the Yan Censors' Mansion.

Not far from Yuelai Inn is the famous Dongguan Street in Yangzhou. This is the ruins of the city gate of Songcheng, and the mansions of salt merchants gather.

The Feng Shui here is good, so the salt merchants have built their mansions around them. When there is any movement, they can discuss it with each other.

"Xiao Guai, why do you have to choose to live here?" Yin and others gathered in the study and looked at Qingyan in confusion.

"Dongguan Street is outside the snack street, and there is another place where salt merchants gather. We just pretend to be businessmen. Isn't it better to see the salt merchants' houses here?" Qing Yan said to Yin.

The house of salt merchants...

"Sister-in-law is talking about the blocked places not far away?" Yinxiang and Yin went out to eat at night. There was a street that was blocked.

"Well, the top of the place is the ruins of Songchengmen. With it as the center, it really surrounds the houses of many salt merchants. It is said that the feng shui here is particularly good, so the salt merchants basically live here." Qing Yan nodded and said.

In the study, everyone became quiet, and even the twins were obediently listening to what Qingyan said.

"I saw the size of those houses, which really occupies a lot of land." Yinxiang and Yin said, "Even like Changchun Garden, there are many shopping and sales streets, fourth brother, these people seem to be really rich."

"In fact, the ancestors of these people went to Guandong. After getting some funds, they returned here to sell salt." Qingyan remembered that in modern times, he had been to Dongguan Street in Yangzhou, and there were many explanations of clay sculptures.

"What? Going to Guandong?" Yin said curiously.

Uh uh uh!

"It should be a pass outside the gate..." Qingyan snapped and patted his forehead. He hadn't made a breakthrough in Guandong yet. "I bought a lot of things from the south and went to sell them outside the gate."

It should be outside the gates...

"So that's the case. The old princes outside the pass came over. The things inside the pass were really much more expensive. I saw that the ancestors of these salt merchants should have sold a lot of things." Yin nodded quickly after hearing Qingyan's explanation.

"This will match it. The news from the emperor Ama Xin said that many families in the south made their first pot of gold outside the pass. At that time, the Qing Dynasty had not yet entered the pass." Yin said helplessly.

Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief. The courtyards of the salt merchants that could be preserved on Guandong Street were basically built by Huai salt merchants.

"Okay, don't talk about how they get this family business. We have to work hard to think about how to complete the task assigned to us by the Emperor Ama." Yin said to his younger brothers.

"Si Sao-Sister-in-Si is located in the closest place. What if we spend money to inquire?" Yin said helplessly.

These salt merchants have a very rich family background and are very low-key. The most convenient way is to buy people.

"This is difficult to do. The mansions of the salt merchants are very strict, and the slaves are very loyal. The salt merchants can use money to smash people, let alone these slaves." Qing Yan shook his head.

I tried the Fourteenth method, but it didn't work at all.

etc......

"Fourth brother, do you still remember that during the last southern tour, Li Xu brought in a few beauties for Emperor Ama. It is said that all the beauties are the legitimate daughters of the salt merchants." Yin suddenly remembered this.

"I know, those few are not legitimate daughters at all. The daughters of the salt merchants are basically married to each other and will not marry outside. Those women were just bought from childhood and kept secretly with the madam in Qinhuai River. They have no blood relationship with the family at all." Yin shook his head.

At the beginning, Kangxi certainly wanted to use this line. After a secret investigation, he found that this line would not work at all.

"What?!" Yinxiang was furious, "Isn't this a deception?"

"Haha, I insist that I am the legitimate daughter, what can you say?" Yin shook his head. It turns out that my younger brother had contacted too little outside.

These people have been struggling in the business world for decades, and are even stronger than those in the officialdom.

"Master, do you think these people are trained?" Yin Genjueluo looked at Yin and asked, "Is there any unpopular daughter who was indeed sent over?"

"It seems that there is one, the fourth brother, who should be the one who was sent to your other courtyard." Yin thought about it carefully and suddenly remembered someone.

"Brother is talking about Hu?" Qing Yan suddenly remembered which girl. At that time, Qing Yan was very angry, but Yin said that he would put Hu in the villa for the time being.

"Yes." Yin nodded.

Mrs. Hu was not taken back to the capital. When he was in the Fourth Master's villa, he met with the deputy director of the accountant of Yuelai Inn. Qingyan was completely confused by Mrs. Hu.

"Sulan, go to the other courtyard and take Mrs. Hu over to me." Qingyan felt that Mrs. Hu should know something.

"The fourth brother, how did you arrange this person?" Yin Genjueluo looked at Yin and asked.

"Sister-in-law, before we left, the deputy director of the accounting office of Heyuelai Inn had a look at each other, so he got married here directly. It is said that the relationship between husband and wife is very good. Hu is just like a young grandmother, with two sons and one daughter." Qingyan said directly.

"It seems that Hu should be able to make use of it." Yin thought about it, and felt that Qingyan had made a good arrangement before. If he followed his temper, he would take it back to the capital and throw it into the cold courtyard and fend for himself.

"Have she contacted her parents' family?" After Qingyan held the wedding for the two, she handed the matter over to Yin to deal with it.

"No, there is no relationship at all. The deputy general manager seemed to tell the public that his wife had no family." Yin told the news he received.

No mother's home...

A trace of golden light flashed in the eyes of several princes, as long as this sentence was enough.

"Fourth Sister-in-law, maybe it will be really successful this time!" Yinxiang's shining eyes made a smile bloom on the corner of Qingyan's mouth.

"Thirteenth Master, how did you think it's done?" Qing Yan teased Yinxiang.

Yinxiang was black, and every time Qingyan teased him, he would call him Thirteenth Master.
