Chapter 217 The boss behind the scenes

She did not eagerly ask Mr. Pei where the golden balls were hidden, but looked at him calmly, as if she was considering how true or false what he said was something that neither Xu Junze nor Xiao Chen could find out.

But Mr. Pei seemed to know about it, which made her more curious about Mr. Pei's true identity.

"Mrs. Xu, don't you want to know?" Mr. Pei smiled jokingly. Lin Shuran was shocked for only a moment, and then she behaved very calmly and rationally. This also made Mr. Pei admire him. Not many women in the back house could have such determination.

.

"Of course I want to know. Who in the world doesn't want to know? I'm just curious. I heard that the Ren family has a lot of golden balls, which is a lot of money. Why did Mr. Pei choose to tell outsiders instead of taking it himself?

What's the use?" Lin Shuran sat down again with a relaxed tone and looked at Mr. Pei with a smile and joked. Of course, there was also a sincere temptation hidden in these words.

Mr. Pei showed a look of disdain and said: "There are only two types of people in the world who are greedy for money. One is that they are born this way, and the other is that they don't have it or lack it. So seeing gold and silver is like a hungry ghost seeing delicious food. He is greedy and wants to take it.

Possession, but I am different. I have never been fond of yellow and white things. Of course, the most important thing is that I have them, and there are quite a lot of them. I just don’t like doing business at a loss, and I don’t like being tricked and not fighting back.”

What Mr. Pei said was a big deal. Lin Shuran thought about how much gold and silver he had to be able to say such confident words. When he caught Liang Shunzhong, the second housekeeper of Prince Ling's Mansion, he could get those golden balls of the Ren family out of his mouth.

There are two large boxes, but they are not the kind of boxes that were common in the Jin Dynasty that held hundreds of kilograms. Instead, they contained two oversized wooden boxes that could hold a hundred thousand taels of gold.

One hundred thousand taels of gold is by no means a small amount, and it is enough to make those who see it greedy. Otherwise, Liang Shunzhong, a slave, would not steal from his master and risk his life to take advantage of it.

From what Mr. Pei said, it seemed that he wanted to tell Lin Shuran the secret because Prince Ling had plotted against him, and he was unwilling to do so.

"Since Mr. Pei doesn't like these golden balls, I'm really interested in them. Where are they hidden by Prince Ling?" Lin Shuran expressed her thoughts frankly. It was this frankness that made Mr. Pei have another look on his face.

smiled.

"Yaoguang Pavilion!" Mr. Pei said these three words to Lin Shuran, and then said meaningfully, "As long as Mrs. Xu finds the real owner of Yaoguang Pavilion, she can find the whereabouts of those golden balls!"

Yaoguang Pavilion? The largest gold, silver and jade shop in the capital, but its owner has always been very mysterious. Lin Shuran was half-convinced. Whether the missing golden balls in the Ren family were related to the owner behind Yaoguang Pavilion, she had to do some research to confirm.

Mr. Pei said goodbye to Lin Shuran and left the capital. After Lin Shuran came back from the farm in the south of the city, she told Xu Junze what Mr. Pei said when she saw Xu Junze again.

After Xu Junze thought about it, he wanted someone to find Mr. Pei again and ask him for details. Who would have thought that after Mr. Pei left the capital, there would be no trace of him again. This person seemed to have suddenly disappeared overnight.

Next, both Xu Junze and Lin Shuran paid close attention to the affairs of the owner behind Yaoguang Pavilion, and secretly sent their own people to investigate. However, the shopkeeper of Yaoguang Pavilion was very strict and could never find out who his owner was.

who.

Xiao Chen was also investigating the matter of Yaoguang Pavilion. Since meeting Xu Junze at Dengchuan Tower that day, the two of them had reached a certain tacit understanding and began to cooperate in the investigation, so Xiao Chen was responsible for the investigation openly.

Xu Junze will secretly help him with everything related to the case, hoping to quickly find out the truth of all cases.

Xu Junze also wanted to take the opportunity to test Xu Minghan, so he revealed to him that the Ren family's golden ball might be related to Yaoguang Pavilion. Unexpectedly, only a few days later, Xu Minghan accidentally found out who the owner of Yaoguang Pavilion was.

.

"Who is it?" Lin Shuran was also very curious. There were so many things that adults couldn't find out with all their efforts, but she didn't expect that Xu Minghan, a twelve-year-old boy, found out. She really found it incredible, and for the first time, she began to see her stepson.

In terms of strength, perhaps Xu Junze was right, this child was more powerful than she imagined.

Xu Minghan originally came here specifically to tell Xu Junze that the father and son had met in the study, but Xu Junze invited Lin Shuran as well, as if he didn't want to hide the matter from her.

Xu Minghan secretly didn't want Lin Shuran to get involved in these things. She already had enough worries about the big and small things in the house. He felt sorry for her and hoped that she would have more leisure and less fatigue, and he didn't want her to be troubled by her own affairs.

She was worried and worried, even though he knew that his mother was very powerful both in character and ability, but men's affairs should be handled by men, and it was better for women not to get involved.

However, Xu Junze was his father. Since he decided to inform Lin Shuran of the matter, presumably because of his considerations, he would not say anything more.

So, Xu Minghan said to the two of them: "The original owner of Yaoguang Pavilion was the old head of the Ma family in southern Xinjiang. Later, Yaoguang Pavilion became more and more famous in the capital. It didn't take long for the owner to change and become Ling.

King, I don’t know if the Ma family gave Yaoguang Pavilion to King Ling, or if King Ling used some means to rob Yaoguang Pavilion, the owner behind Yaoguang Pavilion for so many years is King Ling.”

Xu Junze fell silent after hearing this. In fact, he had already guessed this result, but Lin Shuran's face showed doubts. She thought about it and said: "I feel something is wrong. Mr. Pei said that Yao Guang was found.

The real owner of Yaoguang Pavilion can find out the whereabouts of those golden balls. But the real owner of Yaoguang Pavilion is King Ling, and King Ling was killed, so those golden balls are still missing. Could it be that all the golden balls have become

Did you find all kinds of gold objects in Yaoguang Pavilion?"

What Lin Shuran said was not unreasonable. Xu Junze and Xu Minghan and his son looked at each other. It seemed that the investigation of Yaoguang Pavilion would continue. King Ling was dead, but Yaoguang Pavilion was still welcoming guests normally. It seemed that there was no problem at all.

Affected, does this mean that the real owner of Yaoguang Pavilion has already been changed from King Ling to someone else?

However, before they could continue to pursue the matter, news suddenly came from the Ministry of Punishment, saying that there was key evidence about the huge silver coins that were mysteriously lost when the Ren family was confiscated, showing that they had all been embezzled by the then imperial minister, King Ling.

King Ling was afraid that the incident would be exposed and involve him, so he pushed everything on Fang Lao Yushi Fang E. As for the person who assassinated him, the Ministry of Punishment also found out that it was a gang of gangsters who were responsible for helping King Ling transport silver.

Man, it was probably because of the uneven distribution of the spoils that King Ling was killed.

Within two days, the Fang family was escorted back to the Censor's Mansion by the Dragon Armor Guards. Many people and officials also appeared outside the Fang family's door. However, Fang Lao Censor Fang E had the door tightly closed.
