The matter is urgent, and Shaoyao has already begun to tell it.

It was half a month ago when Shaoyao settled the accounts in the room. Not only Qunfangyuan's accounts, but most people who wanted to enter the black market transactions would also give her a bribe. The amount of money was not too much, and it was incomparable to the daily transactions in the black market.

But there are very few, but there are really many. After all, there are hot business here, and there are not many people who want to enter the black market transaction every day, and there are hundreds of people.

Furthermore, there are many old customers who have already given bribes, so they don’t need to give them any more. Such people come in and out, and there are hundreds of people who come in and out.

The money they gave and Qunfangyuan's input must be calculated clearly, which is all her duty.

While she was busy, a customer suddenly came, and it was also brought in by Jasmine and the others, saying that they wanted to sell a batch of goods on the black market.

The customer saw that he was a servant who helped the family to do business at a wealthy family. He did not hide it and said directly that he was selling copper materials.

When Shaoyao heard this, she became anxious. The copper material was directly under the management of the imperial court, so how could it be bought and sold privately? It would be fine if no one could take care of such a thing in Jiangnan.

But this is in Luoyang, almost under the emperor's nose. If they were allowed to sell it easily, she would be far from unlucky.

However, although the man did not indicate his identity, he also took out the official certificate of Luoyang Prefecture. With this thing, she had to allow it even if she allowed it, and if she didn't allow it, she could only allow it.

When the copper material was transported into the black market, Shaoyao realized that she had boarded a pirate ship, and 80% of them were still the kind who had no turning back.

When this batch of copper materials was transported into Qunfangyuan, they were replaced by carriages. She did not see the specific quantity, but according to experience, these copper materials should have a full five ships together, or at least!

Maybe there are more, but her estimates are inaccurate.

Such a large number of copper materials disappeared, and Shaoyao knew that the court would not just sit idly by and would definitely be discovered in a short while.

At that time, if she investigates her, she will never have any good endings when she is a woman in this kind of business.

Since she learned about this, she has been unable to sleep or eat, and has repeatedly weighed the pros and cons, but finally decided to take action.

Since there is a prefectural official position as a prefect, it means that the person behind this must have something to do with Luoyang Prefecture. In the Luoyang realm, Shaoyao still has some connections.

After several days of investigation, she was finally able to confirm that this batch of copper material was not detained by Luoyang Prefecture. The real move was actually the Dushui Supervisor, which was not noticeable!

It can be said that Shaoyao was surprised at the news that Pei Fanxian was no less than Pei Fanxian. Before that, she had no idea about this department. Even if this incident had not involved this department, she would never have thought that there would be such an institution in the two capitals.

There is not much power, but there are quite a lot of things that can intervene.

It was said that Dushui Shaojian intercepted this batch of copper materials. This batch of goods was originally to be delivered to Chang'an, but now, Dushui Shaojian will sell this batch of copper materials on site in Luoyang.

Copper materials have always been a shortage of goods, and they have been sought after by buyers as soon as they enter the black market.

During this period, Shaoyao also made a lot of business through her own efforts, but in the past ten days, she still sold about half of it.

"During this period, I have never seen Xu Ziqing himself. I also heard from the people I know from the government office that Xu Shaojian is still in Chang'an and has never come to Luoyang at all."

"This man is really brave. Not only can he make money by using the imperial court's copper materials, but he can do such evil things without starting it himself. I don't know how he did it."

"He's also a capable person."

After listening to Shaoyao's story, Pei Fan was able to piece together those chaotic thoughts. There were indeed many people who had common interests with Xu Ziqing.

Let others not mention it for now, this Luoyang prefect is absolutely unrelated!

"Miss Shaoyao, now it is urgent to give me the remaining copper material first. If you can keep a part, keep a part first."

"It's not difficult. Anyway, these copper materials are also sold for consignment."

"Xu Ziqing only found a few servants to take charge of it. It is still easy to send them away. I can help you get them away and you can transport the copper material away."

"But, do you have so many people?"

Shaoyao looked at the two of them and was very worried.

"They transported copper into the black market and found at least a dozen people. But you two would definitely not be able to do this."

After Shaoyao said this, Lao Pei became silent.

Manpower!

This is indeed their weakness. They were originally planning to investigate secretly, so naturally they would not bring many people here.

Now, the whereabouts of the copper material have come into view. It seems that it is time to contact the court.

"What Mrs. Shaoyao said makes sense. We really lack staff. We have to trouble you here. Can you help us keep an eye on the copper material first and stop selling it? We will contact our staff now. When we are ready, we will contact our wife."

Shaoyao nodded, the answer was similar to what she imagined.

"This is certain, but you must be quick. After a long time, it is hard to guarantee that Xu Ziqing will not receive the news. At that time, if he interferes with it, the scope of my ability to maintain is limited."

After both sides made plans, Pei Fan stood up first and asked, "Madam, can you let us go to the black market and take a look?"

Shaoyao smiled: "You all know the whole story of the matter. I absolutely did not hide it. What else is the need to investigate?"

"I have asked someone to store those copper materials in the small warehouse at the end of the black market. Everything is safe, so you can rest assured."

"I know what my wife does right, but, first of all, we are here to investigate, and it's always uncomfortable if we don't go to see it in person. Besides, it's the first time we're in Luoyang, and it's also the first time we've discovered that there is a black market here. I want to go and see it for a long time, and I hope my wife can make it convenient."

"I see."

"Yes, come with me."

"Slow down!"

Everyone was ready, but at this time a disharmonious voice appeared. Pei Fan first turned around and saw that it was Minmin.

But she frowned, her mouth drooped, her whole face was gloomy, as if someone owed her money.

"What's wrong with you?" Lao Pei was so surprised. Hasn't this kind of major event that she has always been the one who is most passionate about watching the fun?

It was really strange that he actually fell behind this time, looking reluctant.

"Don't you look at what time it is now?"

"What's wrong with Shichen?" Pei Fanxian was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously glanced out the window.
