"If it's urgent... there is one..." Jin Zhichun hesitated.

"No matter how random you say, just say it!"

"The man said that Yu Jun, the leader of the anti-religious bandits, had great supernatural powers. In the late summer and early autumn of last year, there was a severe drought in Jinan. The Yu family prayed to heaven, and his heavenly father God gave tens of thousands of taels of money to resettle the young and old who were rebellious."

This kind of nonsense, anyone with some common sense will know that it is nonsense. If you can pray to God for a huge sum of money, why not pray for good weather and no drought? Your Heavenly Father is only poor because of money.

Even if it rains?

Besides, if money can really fall from the sky, why don't you just farm the land and be an official? Just sit on the ground and wait for Heavenly Father and God to throw gold bricks down.

Jin Zhichun didn't believe it at all. He thought this was a lie made up by Yu Junze in order to calm the hearts of the people in the church when he encountered a drought. The more difficult the years were, the more people believed in such strange things.

.

But Jin Zuchun keenly discovered an important point in this matter. It is impossible for money to fall from the sky, but it is possible for Yu Jun to get money!

"Hurry and check whether there were any cases of robbing the children of wealthy families and extorting money from the two counties in the southern region of Jilin in the late summer and early autumn of last year!"

"Ah!" Jin Zhichun immediately woke up.

Both of them knew that Hong Jinglai had reported to them the situation in Gangwon Province. Yu Junze and others took a large number of young people and went to eat big households along the road, eating up all the grain stored in the countryside by the villagers. But the report

It was also mentioned in the book that these unruly people were mainly young and strong, but the old, weak, women and children seemed to have been properly accommodated, and they did not starve to death in large areas, nor did they go out to wander.

So to put it into context, Yu Junze really got a lot of money, bought food, and distributed it to the elderly and weak believers with limited mobility. They were allowed to make a living in the countryside, while the able men were taken out to eat at wealthy households, or

Forced to borrow grain and rice from the official warehouse.

The source of this money is worth investigating!

Jin Zuchun's first thought was to steal and cheat! After all, illegal crimes are the fastest way for them to make money, and kidnapping the heirs and daughters of two classes of noble families is the fastest way to make money!

For things like kidnapping, it is necessary to plan carefully, visit the location in advance, understand the victim's work and rest situation, and know the strength of the local government. Only by having hope, support, spies, and the cooperation of various associates can the kidnapping and blackmail be successfully carried out.

Get enough money.

If you want to achieve this step, it must be an area where the church has taken root for a long time, has spread its influence in the local area, and has a huge mass base. And this place is very likely to be the place where the core leaders of the church are hiding.

Once you find out where Yu Junze committed the kidnapping and extortion case, you can follow the clues and find the corner where he is hiding. Then destroy the center of the church and destroy the entire church.

"In addition, you can send people to check the accounts of various business groups to see if there were any large unidentified account discrepancies in the late summer and early autumn of last year." Jin Zuchun seemed to have thought of something else.

If you want to spend tens of thousands of taels of money at once, except for the two groups of aristocrats and landlords in the area, they are the merchants in the large business groups that deal with the Qing Dynasty and Japan. There are not a few of these merchants with millions of dollars.

, and each has a backer behind it.

Maybe the backer is Park Jong-kyung!

It is entirely possible for him to secretly cultivate some forces that he doesn't want to see anyone seeing! After all, Jin Zuchun asked himself that he also had many things that were not convenient for him to deal with openly, and he needed some dark-side manpower to deal with those things.

"Okay! I will pay attention to a few of them!" Jin Zhichun mentally considered the Beijing merchants and the tribute merchants who were attached to the Pan Nanpu family.

"The main thing is to investigate and investigate the kidnapping case!"

After identifying two main breakthrough directions, the two brothers made up their minds. Generally speaking, the two brothers in the local area mainly encounter these kidnapping cases. For the safety of their heirs, they will pay money to save their lives and settle the matter. If the person kidnapped is their legitimate daughter,

, then he probably won’t make any public announcements to prevent his daughter’s innocence from being tainted.

Therefore, such cases may not always be registered in the government. However, as a feudal country where the king and two groups of nobles co-ruled the world, the Li Dynasty also had a relatively smooth liaison system at the local level.

Let’s just say that the Andong Jin family is not just the Jin Zuchun family. There may be thousands of members spread all over the country. So how do we contact and communicate with each other?

Hometown!

The two groups of local gentry established residence centers and residence halls, which played a role in connecting people locally, educating their children, building bridges and paving roads, and helping local governments stabilize the local area.

At the same time, a capital residence office was set up in Hanyang, with leading figures from the Beijing gentry serving as officials. Through the capital residence office, various residence residences in the countryside were contacted. Some big families even owned dozens of residence residences spread across various provinces.

Now we only need to mobilize the Andong Jin family and other closely allied Jinghua nobles to stay in Hanyang. They will check whether there are kidnapping cases in each county. Combining the case records of each county, they can quickly sort out the results of the end of last summer.

The location where the kidnapping occurred in early autumn.

Through careful screening and investigation, you will definitely gain something!

Of course, in addition to this clue, the interrogation of the captured Qi brothers and Hanyang cultists Jiang Wanshu, Hong Pilju, Yoon Jixian and others also continued in full swing.

Jin Zuchun was determined to uproot the Christian church in North Korea this time, so he ordered that all those who had been captured must not be beaten to death before valid confessions could be obtained. Even the two seriously injured Qi brothers were given

Extremely good treatment, all aimed at solving the case.

All major matters in the court were put on hold for the time being, and officials at all levels mobilized to intensify the investigation of Li Ximing's case.

………………

"Master, Jin Shenpan sent a letter." Han Wushi walked in from the outside.

"Huh?" Hong Jinglai raised his head sharply.

A closer look shows that at the request of Jin Zuchun, Jin Zhichun asked the major Hanyang gentry clans to mobilize the capital residence offices of their clans to send news to the residence residence offices in the eight counties to find out whether a kidnapping case had occurred from summer to autumn last year.

"Investigating a kidnapping case?" This sudden request for assistance in the investigation left Hong Jinglai completely confused.

What does this mean?

If the Qi brothers' hometowns were interrogated and someone was asked to help investigate their relatives, Hong Jinglai had already expected it. Li Ximing was a tough guy. He probably wouldn't betray anyone, but it was hard to say that others would.

I won't confess anything.

Anyway, they have never had any interaction with Hong Jinglai, and they are not afraid of them confessing. But they never thought about what it means to assist in the investigation of kidnapping and extortion.
