At the head of the city stood a few patrolmen, and when they saw someone coming, they shouted and asked, "Who is in the city?"
” "Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce!
Shi Youqian!
Shi Qianyou said and took out a wooden card and held it in his hand to prove his identity.
After a while, the city gate slowly rose, and it was actually a gate-like gate.
Shi Youqian and Zhen Jian slowly entered the city, and after entering the city, they searched to confirm their identities and confirmed that they did not carry any blades, and then continued to move forward.
I saw the mountain col in front of me suddenly opened up, and I saw that in the huge valley, a large number of houses and palaces were built on the mountain, with ups and downs, which was actually Taoist style, and you could also see the gossip map and Taoist words, Zhen Jian was stunned for a while.
Shi Youqian explained with a smile: "It is beyond the norm to build a private palace, so the Golden God of Wealth built this Jinting Villa in accordance with the Taoist style, which is not considered to be overstepping." ” Zhen Jian suddenly smiled when he heard this: "There are really policies and countermeasures, Jinpeng's brain......
It's huge. ” When entering the Jinting Villa, there are people to check, successfully passed, after entering, came to a huge square, only to see that there is a large stone tablet more than one person high next to the square, and the stone tablet is actually engraved with Taoist classics.
"Ahead is the Sanqing Palace."
Shi Youqian said, "Let's go and worship first." ” Zhen Jian's expression suddenly became very exciting, he came to participate in a chamber of commerce party, and he worshiped Buddha and Sanqing, what kind of trouble?
In the Sanqing Palace, there is a statue of Sanqing Dao, Zhen Jian and Shi Youqian went in to worship, and asked a person dressed as a Taoist child, "Is the Ask De Hall open?"
” "It's on."
"The master and the four elders are already waiting there. ” Shi Youqian said: "Labor leads the way." ” Dao Tong took them to the Wende Hall, and when they passed by the Wende Hall, they happened to see a sheep intestine trail leading to the mountain, Zhen Jian couldn't help but ask curiously: "Where does that path lead?"
” Shi Youqian turned his head to look at the road, shook his head and said, "I don't know, I heard that the road leads to the private residence of the God of Golden Wealth, and no one can enter without his invitation." ” "Oh."
Zhen Jian nodded.
Soon came to the Wende Hall, at the door of the Wende Hall, Shi Youqian said: "I will go in first to ask the God of Wealth and the four elders, and let them consider joining you to the Chamber of Commerce, and then you can participate in this Chamber of Commerce Council." ” "Nope."
Zhen Jian shook his head and said, "I came here this time, in fact, I just want to meet Jinpeng, and I don't want to join the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce." ” "Oh."
Shi Youqian nodded helplessly when he heard this, and said, "Okay, our council will start in another hour, and the council will last for an hour, you wait for me outside, don't run around." ” "Got it."
Zhen Jian nodded, and watched Shi Youqian enter.
Zhen Jianbai waited outside boredly, only to see one after another rich businessmen entering the hall, within an hour, about 30 people entered, these more than 30 people, the worst is also a merchant who is about the same as Shi Youqian, with a family property of more than 500,000 yuan, which is already a big merchant in the business world, and only big merchants are eligible to join the Chamber of Commerce.
However, is there really only these thirty or so big merchants in Dachu, no, in the capital, most of those large and small merchants are attached to the court officials, rather than joining the Chamber of Commerce, there are people in the officialdom who are easy to do, and the benefits obtained by relying on officials are obviously greater, and only those merchants who can't find officials to do backstage will join the Chamber of Commerce.
Zhen Jian waited outside for a long time, and finally waited for them to finish their deliberations, and when everyone came out, Zhen Jian found that their faces were all bad, Shi Youqian came to Zhen Jian's side for the first time, Zhen Jian couldn't help but ask curiously, "What happened?"
” Shi Youqian sighed, pulled him aside, and said in a low voice: "I don't know what the God of Wealth thinks, he disbanded the Chamber of Commerce." ” Zhen Jian blinked again and again, he couldn't believe his ears, as soon as he came, he encountered the dissolution of the Chamber of Commerce?
Could it be that he is possessed by Conan?
The Lone Star?
He didn't bother to ask more, so he could only comfort: "Don't worry, Duke Qing and Duke Ming have already agreed to carry you, and you have these two big backers in the future, what are you afraid of." ” Shi Youqian said: "I'm not worried about myself, I'm worried that without the Chamber of Commerce, the business world will become chaotic. ” Zhen Jian raised his eyebrows and asked, "You are a businessman with a fortune of less than one million, what are you doing with this thought?"
” Shi Youqian smiled embarrassedly when he heard this, what Zhen Jian said was not unreasonable, he was just a small person in the Chamber of Commerce, since he already had another way out, what kind of heart did he have.
Zhen Jian waited at the door for a long time, only to see that all the merchants had come out, but he didn't see Jinpeng, so he asked Xiang Shi Youqian: "Where is Jinpeng?"
Why didn't he come out?
” Shi Youqian said: "I don't know, it should still be inside, by the way, you want to see Jinpeng, what's the matter?"
” "A little bit of a personal matter."
Zhen Jian said and walked to the door of the Wende Hall.
The two guards immediately moved to block the door, glared at Zhen Jian coldly, and asked, "Who are you!"
” Zhen Jian felt Sen Leng's killing intent from these two people, and he could see that these two people were masters.
Zhen Jian arched his hand and said: "Under Zhen Jian, I ask to see Senior Jin." ” As soon as the words fell, I heard a voice from the room: "Let him in." ” The two guards got out of the way, and Zhen Jian walked in.
After entering, I saw that this was a very elegantly decorated hall, and it was very large and long, with many seats on both sides, and at this moment, Jin Peng was sitting in the middle position, looking a little lonely.
Zhen Jian stood still in the hall and saluted him: "Juniors meet Senior Jin." ” "See you again."
Jin Peng squeezed out a smile and spread his hands, "Sit down." ” Zhen Jian sat down on a chair next to him and asked, "Senior Jin's face doesn't seem to be very good?"
” Jin Peng smiled bitterly and said, "Because I just disbanded the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce." ” Zhen Jian didn't expect him to be so frank, so he couldn't help frowning and asking, "Why is this?"
” "As a last resort, don't ask."
Jin Peng glanced up at Zhen Jian and sighed, "It's not good for you." ” Zhen Jian saw that he refused to say, so he didn't ask anymore, and said, "Senior Jin, the junior came to you this time because I wanted to ask you something." ” "What?"
Zhen Jiandao: "My uncle Zhen Daqing, that is, Zheng Youwei, how did he die?"
” Jin Peng said: "He died of a bad disease. ” Zhen Jiandao: "Why don't Senior Jin lie to me again, what I want to know is the truth." ” Jin Peng looked at Zhen Jian and said slowly: "Know the truth......
It's not good for you, and it can lead you to the abyss. ” Zhen Jiandao: "Senior Jin, I have the right to know the truth, and it is up to me to decide whether I will go to the abyss or not, after all, my feet are on my own body." ” Seeing that his attitude was very tough, Jin Peng couldn't help but sigh and nodded: "Okay, I'll tell you that your uncle was murdered." ” Zhen Jian's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he asked, "Who murdered?"

” Jin Peng did not answer him directly, but told the story: "Five years ago, the right minister Li Jiusong was ordered to inspect the city defense of Xiangfan, it was winter, it snowed heavily, after the heavy snow, more than a dozen soldiers in the city were frozen to death, Li Jiusong carefully and thoroughly, found that the cotton clothes worn by the Xiangfan soldiers were filled with a large number of catkins and reed catkins, cotton wool only accounted for one percent, such cotton clothes, after washing once, almost not warm, no wonder so many people froze to death. ” Zhen Jian was shocked when he heard this, how important Xiangfan's city defense was, someone dared to touch Xiangfan's armaments and materials, it was bold, he wanted to ask who it was, but he didn't open his mouth after all, and let Jinpeng continue.
"Li Jiusong investigated thoroughly all the way, and found that it was the household department, the military department, and some unscrupulous merchants who colluded to commit the crime, and embezzled Xiangfan's military supplies, as much as 2.8 million yuan, and among them, the most important link is the privy envoy Qin Huan, who is responsible for leading and inspecting Xiangfan's military supplies, so he can't escape the involvement, the emperor was furious, and all the cadres involved in the case were dismissed and put in prison, only Qin Huan was fine."
Zhen Jian was surprised when he heard this: "Why is he okay?"
He should be very responsible, right?
” Jin Peng said lightly: "The emperor wants to protect him, who can object." ” Zhen Jian was speechless when he heard this, he never expected that Qin Huan's holy favor would reach such a terrifying level, and he would make such a big mistake, and the emperor would actually protect him, this is simply a faint king.
Jin Peng said: "The emperor is Qin Huan's first hand on the throne, and he is also the emperor's mentor, the emperor is a person of great affection, so he tried his best to protect Qin Huan, but he took away Qin Huan's general leadership and the power to inspect Xiangfan's materials, and sent the right minister Li Jiusong to be responsible for the general leadership and inspection of Xiangfan's materials, and Li Jiusong is your uncle's backer." ” Hearing this, Zhen Jian gradually sensed something, but he didn't dare to speculate and continued to listen to him.
Jin Peng continued: "Li Jiusong has always been against Qin Huan, bent on bringing down Qin Huan, the reason why your uncle took refuge in him is also because he disdains Qin Huan's actions, Li Jiusong handed over all the armaments of Xiangfan to your uncle to procure, and your uncle also did a good job; Three years ago, Qin Huan finally avoided the limelight and began to take revenge, when your uncle shipped to Liang State, he secretly hid the armor in his goods, and framed your uncle, your uncle's goods were found to have hidden armor at the ferry port of Jiankang, which is a major crime of treason with the enemy, after your uncle learned that there was a problem with his goods, he knew that his life was short, and immediately found me, told me the truth of the matter, and quickly transferred all the inheritance to me, leaving only a Tongfu Inn and a hundred taels of silver, let me come back and give it to your father; After that, he was arrested, and then I heard the news that he was beheaded, and the right minister Li Jiusong was also implicated because of his close relationship with your father, and he was dismissed from all positions and went home to retire. ” "It's Qin Huan again."
Zhen Jian gritted his teeth when he heard this, his fists were clenched, and his nails were deeply embedded in the flesh, Zhen Daqing was his father after all, but he didn't expect Qin Huan to be his father's enemy, and now the grudge between them is really getting deeper and deeper.
"I have to warn you."
Jin Peng said with a solemn face, "Jin Pengquan is in charge of the court, he is deeply favored, no one who is against him has a good end, I have heard about your affairs, but you are still too far away from him, don't act rashly, otherwise you will hit the stone with an egg." ” Zhen Jian didn't answer, and after being silent for a long time, he suddenly asked, "Where did my uncle's goods stop when they were in Jiankang?"
” Jin Peng was stunned when he heard this, knowing that he still had to investigate this matter, he couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed, it seemed that Zhen Jian didn't listen to his words, he could only shake his head and say: "I don't know about this matter." ” Zhen Jian thought for a while and asked, "Does the former right minister Li Jiusong know?"
” Jin Peng said: "Maybe he knows that the goods that time were escorted by your father's most powerful guard, Wei Ning, after the incident, he came to your uncle and asked your uncle to escape, but your uncle let him escape, and in the end, your uncle let him disfigure himself, change his identity, and protect Li Jiusong." ” "Where is Li Jiusong now?"
"Baling Ping'an Town."
