Chapter 97 Catch the thief and catch the stolen goods

(Thank you, my verbose 100 coin reward, and a 500 coin reward from book friends 20180502225108802. A new beginning of the new week! It’s time to go to Sanjiang, Lao Kun asks for recommendation votes and support!)

Seeing this, the servant didn't care much and stepped forward and whispered in Chen Zhong's ear.

After hearing this, Chen Zhong couldn't help but frown.

It turned out that for the sake of safety, the master banned the eldest son. However, the eldest son was a romantic man and would feel uncomfortable if he didn't go to the Qinhuai River for a day.

But the father's order was difficult to disobey, so the eldest son did not dare to openly disobey the master's order. In the end, the eldest son came up with a solution that had the best of both worlds.

That is to invite the singing girl to the mansion.

After thinking about it, the eldest son still felt that it was the most reliable for Shen Zhong to do this, so he asked his personal servant to come to the cabinet to explain to Chen Zhong, hoping that this loyal servant could send Hong Aunt to her room for entertainment as soon as possible.

Chen Zhong was a little embarrassed for a moment.

Strictly speaking, the eldest son did not violate the confinement order issued by the master, but it was actually a speculation.

On one hand, he was the master and on the other hand, he was the eldest son, which made Chen Zhong, who was sandwiched in the middle, very embarrassed.

He did not make a decision immediately, but paced up in the room with his hands on his back.

The master was kind to him and promoted him from a primary school apprentice to a big shopkeeper of Ji Shengchang.

But the eldest son is also the young master of the Shen family, and Chen Zhong must not ignore his orders.

Although the master is in full swing now, sooner or later, the eldest son will take over. If he offends the eldest son, he will settle the score in the future, and Chen Zhong will definitely end up being swept out of the house.

After thinking about it carefully, Chen Zhong decided to go to Qinhuai River to get a red apprentice to send it to the mansion as the eldest son told him.

As long as he does it carefully, it will not have any impact on the overall situation without realizing it.

After he was settled, Chen Zhong said to the servant: "I will do what the eldest son ordered myself, so you can go back first."

The servant was very happy, and he bowed to Chen Zhong and turned around and left.

Chen Zhong sighed lightly, and several friends rushed to the counter instructed: "I'll go out and press down on anything on the counter first, and I'll talk about it when I come back."

......

......

"Come, search!"

Chen Tianxiao brought dozens of Jinyiwei lieutenant to the Jishengchang Grain Shop with great might, and waved his hand and ordered.

A group of Jinyiwei's lieutenant immediately rushed into the store and searched around.

The guys in the store had never seen such a formation. They were all shocked and stood there as if they were stunned. They didn't dare to say a word.

Flying fish suits and embroidered spring swords, these are all grandfather Jinyiwei.

Chen Tianxiao sat down with a big golden sword, slapped the sword in his hand on the table and scolded, "Where are you in charge?"

"This military master, my shopkeeper is out to do business..."

A young man said tremblingly.

Chen Tian smiled and snorted coldly, "I received a clue that Ji Shengchang was stocking up on goods and raising the price of rice. Since your shopkeeper is not here, I will save myself from talking too much."

After a while, a group of Jinyiwei lieutenants replied: "Master General Banner, no rice and grain were found."

"Hmph, go searching in the backyard!"

It is not easy for Chen Tianxiao to grab this beautiful misfortune, so naturally he will not let the opportunity to make contributions slip away.

The Shen family is the largest grain merchant in Nanjing City, and said they did not participate in the manipulation of rice prices.

As for the evidence, will it be found after finding it?

The Jinyiwei can handle cases and act in the news.

If everything is waiting for the evidence to be conclusive, then the daylily will be cold.

This time, it was not only the Jinyiwei who investigated and raised the grain price case, but also the Dongchang and the Inner Factory.

The commander and commander have been desperate and must investigate the case before the East Factory and the Inner Factory.

The Ming Dynasty had limited status in merchants, let alone Jinyiwei, even ordinary magistrates did not dare to provoke them.

The so-called county magistrate who destroyed the family and the prefect who destroyed the family. If the Jinyiwei angered, it would be possible that even the nine clans would be occupied.

These guys are all wise people, and they hide as far as they go.

They are not the bosses and have not received much preferential treatment from the boss. Why should they pay their lives for the boss?

Except for the four Jinyiwei lieutenants who stayed at the gate, all Jinyiwei lieutenants rushed into the backyard and began a search.

The backyard takes up a larger area than the front shop, and it takes more time to search.

Chen Tianxiao was not in a hurry, picked up the teapot and poured it into a cup, and tasted it carefully.

Ji Shengchang's cellar was built in front and back, so it was naturally the target of search.

More than a dozen Jinyiwei lieutenants walked into the cellar one after another and looked around.

But the cellar was empty, let alone rice bags, there was not even a grain of rice.

These Jinyiwei Captains were very disappointed and turned around and left.

The Jinyiwei School Captain who searched in other places also found nothing and returned to the front shop dejectedly.

"Sir, I didn't find the food I've been hoarded."

Chen Tianxiao's eyebrows were almost twisted together, and he scolded: "Can you check carefully? If there is any omission, I will reward you with a whip."

Everyone said they didn't dare.

At this moment, a thin young man asked tentatively: "Mr. Jun, if you provide clues, can the government give you a reward?"

Chen Tianxiao was overjoyed.

"Of course! If the clues are provided and it is verified that they are true, you will be rewarded with 500 taels of silver!"

The young man made a fuss and gritted his teeth and said, "The rice and grain that the owner has hoarded are hidden in the cellar in the backyard."

As soon as he finished speaking, a Jinyiwei lieutenant said at the top of his throat: "Impossible, we have searched the cellar in the backyard, and we have not even found a bird's hair."

The young man hurriedly said, "This military master doesn't know that there is a dark room in the cellar in the backyard. You need to press a stone wall of the machine to open it."

Chen Tian stood up with a smile and ordered the young man: "Go ahead and lead the way!"

The guy who suddenly appeared made the situation turn around immediately.

Chen Tianxiao surrounded by a group of Jinyiwei's captains and went to the cellar in the backyard.

Everyone followed the guy down to the cellar and looked around, wanting to see where the agency was located.

The young man quickly walked to a stone wall in the north, turned his head and said, "Sir, the dark room is behind this wall."

Chen Tian smiled and waved his hand, "Open the stone wall quickly."

The young man nodded, reached out and knocked on a stone brick on the upper right three times, and then the entire stone wall turned around.

Everyone, including Chen Tianxiao, was stunned.

I didn't expect that such a mechanism was hidden in this small cellar.

After the stone walls were all turned away, Chen Tianxiao rushed in first.

This dark room is very large, five or six times the size of the outer room. There are only a few paths left in the dark room for one person to pass sideways, and the rest are filled with piles of sacks.

Chen Tianxiao pulled out the embroidered spring knife and stabbed it casually on a sack, and then Bai Cancan's rice surged out.
