Chapter 315 Catching a Turtle in a Jar

Zhu Changning criticized the Chen family and Xie Zhan in prison, saying that they sold the little Zhuyadao to the Zhu family. They might have secretly dug the gold mine before, hoping that the imperial envoy would investigate the matter strictly.

In the end, Zuo Anmin rejected the fact that his inference was not in line with human nature. He said that no matter who knew that there was a gold mine on his territory, how could he sell the land containing the gold mine to others? What else did they say?

The family's retorts like this, and there is a suspicion of revenge with personal grudges, which is not enough to accept it.

These words made Zhu Changning angry.

After the Zhu family was imprisoned, the Gu family handled some things. Gu Huaisheng, the young master of the Gu family, came to the prison to meet Zhu Changnian in person.

After some conversation, he left with great worries.

When he came out of the prison, he looked up at the sky in the south and sighed in his heart, "It's really a tree that wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop."

At this time, the Zhu family's property was being searched by the government.

Not long after, the list of the seized property was found in Xie Zhan.

Xie Zhan opened the list and saw that it recorded: The Zhu family found 113 shops, a thousand hectares of land, 700,000 taels of silver, and 300,000 stones of grain...

Xie Zhan frowned more and more as he looked at him. According to his estimate, the Zhu family's wealth was about three to four million taels.

Not to mention other things, the amount of food is wrong.

"Class leader, what's wrong?" Xie Nan asked.

Xie Zhan replied, "Before, the Zhu family had ten warehouses of 500,000 stones of grain on their faces. They took two warehouses, that is, 100,000 stones of grain and Ji Wuyin mortgaged them. There should be 400,000 stones of grain on their faces. But now the Zhu family is openly on their faces.

Only six warehouses of 300,000 stones of grain are left?"

In addition, Xie Zhan felt that there should be food in the Zhu family, at least 200,000 to 300,000 shi in secret.

Xie used to be a big family. He knew the nature of the family very well. The property on the surface belonged to the surface, and the property on the surface should be at least one-third of the property on the surface, anyway, one-third of the property on the surface.

Half the interval is like this.

However, they did not even collect this part of the property from the Zhu family?

Xie Zhan cares about the part of the food hidden by the Zhu family.

The wealth on the Zhu family's face is all the emperor's, so he can't move it.

Xie Zhan was so troublesome that he naturally wanted to eat the meat from the Zhu family secretly. So when he investigated, the people who did not use the government were all his people who were secretly investigating.

The problem now is that after searching the Zhu family, not only did he not find the hidden food in the Zhu family, but the food on the surface was not as expected.

There is a lot of money on the Zhu family’s books, but now we need to solve the crisis in the south, and grain is more effective than silver.

Xie Zhan knew that these grains would definitely stay in the southern part of the land. The emperor also knew very well that the Chen family's grain was huge. If it was transported back to Chang'an, the road would be long and the loss on the road would be nearly half, which was not cost-effective.

He originally thought that with the Chen family's grain, the problem in the southern region would be solved halfway. Unfortunately, something happened at present.

Xie Zhan looked down the information and found relevant records. The two warehouses of the remaining eight warehouses of the Zhu family were actually taken to Ji Wuyin the day before the Zhu family was surrounded?

Two warehouses of grain, 100,000 shi, were mortgaged 180,000 taels. What is the difference between this grain and selling it at a low price?

He realized something was wrong and ordered Xie Nan, "Let Zuo Anmin go and ask Ji Wuyin to get the contract."

Xie Nan took the order and left.

When he saw that the contract had only one day's deadline, he laughed angry.

Xie Zhan stood up expressionlessly, came to the window, looked at the mountains in the distance, but his mind was constantly moving, tidying up his thoughts.

The fruit he had worked hard to make was not as big as he imagined.

He did not believe that the Zhu family did not have food hidden.

The more you reviewed the story, the more weird Xie Zhan’s face looked.

This matter is similar to the method when the Qin family was exiled and was completely lost to two or three percent of their property.

But this matter is related to Ji Wuyin, Ji Wuyin - Xue Guangxian - Liaodong County...

Xie Zhan narrowed his eyes slightly. A thief came in and even stole the fruits of his hard work.

Now that they are in the Zhu family, they have separated most of his fruits. The remaining half is the emperor's, and he cannot move.

In other words, he used a trick to knock down the Zhu family and didn't catch anything? How could this be done?

Regarding Xie Zhan's reaction, Lu Songli and Xue Xu had deduced and discussed the responses if they were exposed before they set out in the south. After all, Xie Zhan, as a planner, was in the target fish pond.

The fish probably knows it.

If they stole too much, they would definitely be noticed by Xie Zhan.

What Xie Zhan didn't know was that Xue Xu and the others could use a way to pull away the Zhu family's silver. However, they didn't take action until the Zhu family's wealth was already staring at by the emperor.

They thought it was clear that they were fine to pick peaches, but at least they had to make sure that the emperor had enough.

Under this premise, they could only rob Xie Zhan of the spoils. As for what happens after Xie Zhan is robbed, they don’t care. If they don’t, they will be hungry.

Xie Zhan has always remembered the lessons he learned after helping Song Mo fight for the throne last time. After a heavy blow, he must return to the rescue.

This time he had a backup plan to prevent these people from disrupting the situation and competing for benefits with him.

He just didn't expect that the peach pickers would come so quickly.

Lu Songli, Lu Songli, you are worthy of being you. Before anyone can react, you have reached out.

Xie Zhan began to issue orders one by one.

"Come here! Send someone to secretly monitor the Ji Mansion!"

He wants to see who is coming this time!

Xie Zhan felt that Lu Songli would not come in person, and even if she wanted to come, she would be stopped. Lu Songli was obviously the wise responsibility of the Liaodong County forces. The son of a daughter cannot sit in the hall. This is everyone's consensus.

But he felt that the person who came here would definitely not be a small person who could win the trust of Zhu Changnian!

"Let Zuo Anmin order the county magistrate to block the major city gates and all docks!"

"In addition, I'll take someone to the dock to inquire if there have been a large number of goods shipped out in the past two days?"

"yes!"

Not long after, the person who asked about the news came back. Through the news reported, Xie Zhan judged that the food should not have been removed yet.

Xie Zhan sneered, Lu Songli, what if your people captured the profit? So what if you grabbed a piece of fat?

He wants to catch turtles in a jar, and he wants to let the meat rot in the southern land. In addition, it is better not the Qin family who come to the southern land, otherwise he wants them to break it here!

On this day, Ji Wuyin returned to Ji's mansion from Xue Xu.

Some subordinates quietly said to him, "Master, someone is monitoring Ji's mansion."

"Um?"

Later, when he received the news that the city gate and dock were blocked, Ji Wuyin subconsciously thought that Xie Zhan reacted so quickly!

Thinking about Xue Xu who had moved out of Ji's mansion and lived in a secret place, Ji Wuyin thought to himself that the immortal was right. Xie Zhan was too smart, probably he had already realized something.
