94. The Great Case of Peking
Bu Suanzi smiled and sat opposite the young woman in yellow, crossed her legs, looking at a look of being cautious.
At this time, the young woman in yellow said leisurely: "The person I am looking for is to find a prince who disappeared after birth. No one has seen him like this. However, this person is the orphan of Zhang King Zhang Shicheng. Before the city was broken, Zhang Wang secretly asked several confidants to protect the prince and the prince's mother to escape. No one has seen his current appearance. He only knows that the prince was born without hair and was fifteen or sixteen years old. If you want to find him, you can only start with his mother and Zhang King Zhang's confidant. But this requires secret search. After all, the thief you are looking for."
When the young woman said that she was born without hair, Liu Huaming beside Yao Guangqi turned to look at Yao Guangqi in confusion, and couldn't help but touch Yao Guangqi's head. Yao Guangqi was there and forgot to dodge.
The young woman in yellow noticed Liu Huaming's reaction and said with a smile: "He is right, but he still has some hair. It shouldn't be that the prince was born without it. He can't match this. As for this second thing, sending a letter is not an ordinary letter, nor to an ordinary person, but to send the letter to the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the dynasty. You should consider it. Not only must you have the courage, but you must also have the ability to escape unscathed."
Bu Suanzi hesitated for a moment, "You can tell me what you wrote in this letter. I will consider it carefully. If you gather people to rebel, the old Taoist will not do it."
The young woman smiled again: "The two things in the letter have nothing to do with rebellion, but they are also taboos. The first thing is that since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the taxes of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang generation have the heaviest. The taxes of the Huaidong generation are more than twice as high as those of Huaixi. Moreover, whenever other places suffer natural disasters, the court will definitely reduce the tax burden of the year or two years. However, the tax burden of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang generation has never been reduced during disasters. The people in these places are suffering. We ask the people for their orders and ask the emperor to reduce the tax burden of these places. The second thing in the letter is that the court is
Corrupt officials are related to corrupt officials. Nowadays, local officials are working together to engage in favoritism and fraud. Every year before they go to the Ministry of Revenue to reconcile and close accounts, local officials will stamp official seals on dozens of blank official letters. These blank official letters stamped are resold by the clerks who handle the matter at high prices to seek personal gain. What's more, those officials who handle the matter collude with these official letters to engage in favoritism and fraud. The number of corruption is countless every year, and the people's wealth and ointment of the people is put into their pockets by these officials. This is what the letter says."
After listening to the young woman's words, Bu Suanzi sat there without moving, silent for a long time, and after a long time he said: "We will take over our business first, and understand the salt merchant's affairs first. If we can't figure out this matter, we don't need to think about what comes later. As for whether the next two things can be done, I have to study it slowly."
"Okay," the young woman nodded in agreement, "I will tell you all the clues about the salt merchants. Do you know that the imperial court implemented the opening of China and France a few years ago? In fact, it was to exchange grain for salt intake. The salt merchants hired people to open up wastelands and hoard fields around Peking, and paid the food to the court nearby. The court saved the loss of grain transport in the south and north and the filth of transport. The military rations in the north were sufficient. The price of salt merchants could get salt and sell salt for profit after they had been transported. This was indeed a good thing to win three goals. Because of this, in recent years, salt merchants have opened up more and more land in Peking, and paid more and more grains.
The Guanfu treasury was full, which was a good thing, but when there were too many salt merchants, the market became chaotic, and some people were cheating in it. Especially last year, General Li Wenzhong went to war and found that the inventory of military rations in the treasury in the treasury in the treasury in the treasury in the treasury was inconsistent with the accounts of the treasury. However, just as the accounts of these salt merchants handed over, several salt merchants were either killed or destroyed. Now the salt merchants in Beijing were panic. Because they were worried that the next person to be killed might be themselves, the salt merchants in Peking secretly discussed that the salt merchants would come forward to issue a reward to find out the real murderer of the murder."
Bu Suanzi listened very seriously. After listening, he was silent for a while, "This matter is not simple. If you are as you said, the people and background involved will be very complicated. If we really take it, we may even get involved in it."
After hearing Bu Suanzi's words, the young woman in yellow smiled and said, "The others are the same as you, so the reward has been paid for a month, and no one dares to take on this deal."
But Bu Suanzi immediately spoke again: "You are really greedy for your bounty. If you die for money, I will still take it even if there is danger. If you really earn 200,000 yuan, you can enjoy the wealth of the world and not live in vain for the rest of your life."
The young woman in yellow said, "Why, the Taoist priest took this because he moved the mortal heart? Do you also want to enjoy the wealth of the mortal world?"
Bu Suanzi stood up and walked out, and when he walked to the door, he suddenly turned around and asked, "Who is the one who came to entrust him to find Prince Zhang's son? Who is the one who is looking for Prince Xiao Ming there?"
The young woman smiled and replied: "The rules of Taohua Town in doing business are only entrusted and rewarded. She will never disclose any identity of the client. The business in Taohua Town can continue to do so by integrity and confidentiality. If I tell you today, who dares to come to my shop to entrust it in the future?"
After hearing this, Bu Suanzi said nothing and turned around and walked out.
Walking out of Taohua Town, Bu Suanzi suddenly turned around and asked Yao Guangqi: "Advisor, what do you think?"
Yao Guangqi replied without hesitation: "The salt merchants in Peking are so panicked that they have disrupted the national policy of opening up, and even more chaotic the cornerstone of the country's border guards. The disciples think that the master is right. Whether it is to eliminate evil and promote good or to make good for the sake of family and country justice, the disciples think they should find out."
Bu Suanzi smiled and said, "Since you said you did this right, then I will leave this matter to you. I, the old Taoist priest, don't care about such a brain-struggling and difficult thing."
"Ah" Yao Guangqi was stunned by the sudden releasing of the master.
Liu Huaming, who was standing beside him, was a little embarrassed: "What a master who is a master. He will push it to his apprentice when he encounters difficulties. He has never seen such a master."
Bu Suanzi was so angry that he was so angry that he turned to Liu Huaming. He turned to look at Liu Huaming: "You girl, why do I have anything to do to your disciples? Our masters and disciples are the rules that are originally the rule. You are just an outsider, so how can you interrupt? You are pestering them and you have to meddle in other people's business. Also, you will not cause trouble in the future, and no one will stand up for you if you cause trouble."
Seeing that the two of them started bickering mode again, Yao Guangqi shook his head helplessly and walked away, but Liu Huaming did not give in at all, "You don't need to care whether I mess with you or not, let alone I didn't ask you to stand out."
