Chapter 139 The suspicion of Kuyin, the beginning of the clue

The Cao Gang is the name of the organization in Jinling City that takes the canal transportation as its business, and it is a secret association of private sailors.

The connection with the Caogang and using this to find out the news in the waterway was indeed twice the result with half the effort.

I have to say that Lin Yaxin's logic is clear. Just thinking about land and water transportation issues made Liu Ruohuan sigh and look at him with admiration.

It seems that since the tomb of King You, the changes inside have made Lin Yaxin grow a lot, and she has unknowingly become a young handsome guy who can stand alone.

"Young Master, are you listening to me?"

Lin Ya was happy to see Liu Ruohuan running away while she was explaining, and she was a little unhappy.

Ning Ke'er was unhappy watching and said in a frenzy: "What are you listening? This guy has been staring at his senior sister's chest just now, and his eyes are almost glaring out."

Liu Ruohuan realized that her posture of running around was a bit indecent. When she was thinking about things, her eyes kept staring at Lin Yaxin's bra.

The bra was stretched out with two round and roundness, and it fell with Lin Yaxin's breathing. It really made people feel excited when they saw it.

Lin Yaxin thought that Liu Ruohuan was not focused, but now she was attracted by Ning Keer's words, and then she was shocked to find that the other party was actually her chest.

Her jade face was red, and for some reason she didn't even look natural, and she felt a little happy.

"...Since the young master wants to see it, then I took off my coat and let the young master see it enough?"

Lin Yaxin's words made Liu Ruohuan react, and he quickly coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment.

"I'm thinking that you are meticulous and will save you a lot of trouble in the future."

"As long as you can help the young master, these are nothing..."

Ning Ke'er frowned and clear eyebrows and his face became more and more strange. Why did the two of them get flirting with each other by one?

She knocked on the bed with anger in her eyes, "Stop it, do you want to save your mother? Say less irrelevant off-topics."

"Then I will continue to say that the young master cannot escape the power this time... In the past month, the Cao Gang has never seen a very deep-drawn ship in the merchant ships he handled. The remaining small boats are even more delusional to carry so much silver out of the city."

"So you guess that this batch of Kuyin is still in the city? With Jubaozhai's big deal, I naturally have doubts?"

"Yes, the young master clearly understands."

Liu Ruohuan touched his chin slightly and fell into thinking. In fact, what Lin Yaxin said was not much different from what he was thinking.

"Actually, I also think this batch of silver is still in Jinling City..."

Ning Ke'er thought he had some ideas, but she didn't expect that she just agreed with her senior sister's inference and couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"Since the night when the kuyin was stolen, Jinling City has set up checkpoints at various intersections, and it has been strictly prohibited to enter and exit the city. It is definitely not feasible to transport so much kuyin in one night... But in fact, water inspections are indispensable, and according to the speed of the ship, these silvers cannot be exported to the county governments around Jinling at all."

"But the fact is that Kuyin disappeared overnight. If he didn't take the land and water route, would he have flew out of the city by himself?"

Liu Ruohuan said and thought, he had already walked to the gift of the Jubaozhai without knowing it, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to open the cover.

These silver shone brightly, which was very dazzling in Liu Ruohuan's eyes. He took one out casually, estimated the weight, and was shocked when he looked at the base in reverse.

The Jiangnan Silver Yuan Bureau was cast on it.

"Kuyin?"

"What?"

Lin Yaxin and Ning Keer were both startled and locked their eyes on the box of silver in front of Liu Ruohuan.

They checked the remaining silver coins, which were all silver dollars circulating in the market, and there was no problem, except that the one in Liu Ruohuan's hand was different in shape.

After taking the silver from Liu Ruohuan, the two women put it on the table and looked carefully. Lin Yaxin looked carefully three times before affirming: "This is something from the Silver Dollar Bureau, it's impossible to make a mistake... But why is this ku silver mixed in the silver donated by Jubaozhai?"

"It's still a question. It must be when they were sharing the spoils behind the scenes, they accidentally stuffed a piece of Kuyin in."

Ning Ke'er hummed twice, as if she had seen the scene with her own eyes, and said confidently: "Then she was taken away by the servant and the maid, and this misunderstanding happened. It seems that the third princess is undoubtedly the real murderer of stealing Kuyin!"

Lin Yaxin knocked Ning Keer's head helplessly, "Young Master, there is still a problem here. The third princess is the most beloved daughter of His Majesty. On the day of her twelve birthday, the queen gave her the power of the imperial merchant."

"Imperial Merchants? Is it a royal merchant that can be exempted from taxes while holding the yellow flag?"

This name Liu Ruohuan is not unfamiliar with it, because his childhood sweetheart Suzhou businessman and Qizhen Pavilion, who had a close relationship with the Liu family, all dreamed of the royal merchants.

If the Xia family really had the title of an imperial merchant back then, maybe the matter between him and Xia Zhishan would have been settled early.

"Yes, the young master may not be very clear. Every year, the various businesses with the Yellow Banner have to pay a considerable annual offering to the Third Princess. In recent years, it has been rumored that the Third Princess's Princess's house was built more luxurious than the imperial palace, and the gold, silver and treasures in Curry were three times that of the national treasury. Therefore, it is okay to say that anyone in the Han and Tang dynasties is fine. It is a bit unreasonable to say that the Third Princess lacks money and steals silver.

Ning Keer was still a little dissatisfied, "Isn't the more money the better? I have 100 taels, so I must still think about 1,000 taels."

"This is different. The princess talks very well in Jubaozhai. Everything has its own unique thinking direction. She doesn't spend so much effort on a hot potato..."

When Liu Ruohuan said this, he seemed to think of something. He opened his pupils slightly and asked Lin Yaxin again and said, "Do you say the third princess is in charge of the imperial merchant?"

Lin Ya was excited to see Liu Ruohuan's expression was a little excited, quite puzzled, "Yes..."

"That's right! The yellow flag of the Royal Merchants can not only be exempted from taxes, but also avoid all investigations. The batch of treasury silver must have been transferred to the waterway through the name of the Royal Merchants!"

Lin Yaxin was also shocked by his inference, but when she thought about it carefully, Liu Ruohuan's inference was reasonable.

Throughout history, there are only two types of people who have been spared from layers of checkpoints. One is a scholar who went to Beijing to take the exam, and the other is a royal merchant who was personally given a business name by the royal family.

Now it is not the year of imperial examinations, and only the large ships of the imperial merchants can carry so much treasury...

No wonder the sailors of the Cao Gang couldn't hear the news, and this explanation made sense.

"Young master, but it has been so long since time has passed, so it should be difficult for us to recover this batch of silver."

"No! Although this batch of silver is transported by water, it is absolutely impossible to leave the city!"
