Chapter 276 Copying the rich businessman (4000 words two in one chapter)(1/3)
Zhao Xun is still investigating the case of hoarding goods in Chang'an City and driving up food prices. Now he has a tentative clue.
I have to say that Wangcai's ability to do things is really strong and his influence is really great. He quickly got first-hand information.
"The situation is more complicated than we imagined. At first I thought it was those big families who were causing trouble, but now it seems that almost all the grain merchants in Chang'an are involved..."
"Apart from your Pan family?"
"Of course, except for our Pan family. We can't be unkind for the sake of wealth. This is our family motto."
Wangcai patted his chest and said.
"That's good."
Zhao Xun breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, what he fears most is that the case involves the Pan family.
After all, he and Wangcai have such a good relationship, if a conflict arises because of this, it will be a loss outweighing the gain.
"So how are you going to do this?"
The question of prosperity can be said to be on point.
The problem is indeed a bit tricky now. It would be simple and easy to go directly to the scene to get people, but this may cause riots.
Those grain merchants do not have a fuel-efficient lamp, and rushing into action will only arouse strong resistance from them.
"Unless we have full evidence in our hands, it's not easy to arrest people directly."
Zhao Xun shook his head and said, "Is there any way to get the evidence?"
"This evidence is not easy to obtain."
Prosperity was also somewhat difficult for a while.
After all, this matter is different from other things. If you want to convict the hoarder, you must sneak into these merchants' mansions.
Only by entering their warehouse can we find out how much food they have hoarded.
"Brother Yun, why don't you ask the senior brothers in the academy for help?"
"Academy?"
Wangcai’s reminder is quite right, and it hits the point.
"Sixth Brother is proficient in the art of Earth Escape, you can give it a try."
Sixth senior brother Lu Guangdou is good at practicing Feng Shui, and Feng Shui inevitably requires digging.
Sixth Senior Brother Tu Dun is a good player, and Zhao Xun learned from him when he was in the academy.
At that time, the Sixth Brother did not hesitate to dig three feet into the ground in order to find the cultural context. He dug all the way to the two-story bamboo building.
That's where the mountain chief lives.
This is enough to illustrate that the cultural context of the Great Zhou Dynasty lies in the academy, and the cultural context of the academy grows in the mountains.
The leader of the mountain is where the hearts of scholars all over the world lie.
However, these are not Zhao Xun's focus at the moment. What he focuses on is Sixth Brother's Earth Escape technique.
As long as you master this technology, it will not be difficult to sneak into the homes of these wealthy businessmen.
Of course, Zhao Xun could also fly into the house, but in this way he would not be able to obtain evidence of the wealthy businessmen's crimes.
But it's different with the tunnel.
You can ask Sixth Brother to dig tunnels directly into the granaries of these wealthy businessmen.
"Wangcai, I'm going to deliver a message to Sixth Senior Brother."
Now it is naturally impossible to leave Chang'an City, so Zhao Xun wants to go to his mentor Wu Quanyi and ask him to use the teleportation technique again and inform the sixth brother of the academy to come to Chang'an to help him with this big favor.
I believe that the Sixth Senior Brother will not refuse, and it is not difficult to come to Chang'an with the Sixth Senior Brother's strength.
…
…
Zhongnan Mountain, Haoran Academy.
"Chief, my junior brother asked me to go to Chang'an City this time. I don't know what's important."
Lu Guangdou immediately reported to Shan Changhui after receiving the news about the teleportation technique from Taoist Master Qinglian.
"You can go if you want. I'm not a god, so how can I know everything?"
The mountain chief gently stroked his beard and said leisurely.
Seeing his mentor's air of immortality, Lu Guangdou smiled and said, "In my heart, you are an immortal."
"Hey, Sixth Brother, when did you become as glib as your junior brother?"
"What I say is from my heart."
Lu Guangdou bowed respectfully and crossed his arms.
"You, go ahead. Your junior brother will not harm you."
The mountain leader smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Lu Guangdou felt ecstatic in his heart: "Thank you very much, Chief, the disciple will go."
…
…
Although Lu Guangdou's cultivation level is not as good as that of his senior sister, second senior sister and third senior brother, he is still the sixth senior in the academy. With his foundation here, he cannot be any worse.
But he said that he carried a basket on his back and flew directly into Chang'an City with his sword.
Although there are restrictions in Chang'an City, the restrictions are not valid for academy disciples, and Lu Guangdou can come and go at will.
Lu Guangdou had been to Chang'an City before, and walked all the way to the bad guys' yamen. Seeing that it was heavily guarded, he confidently stepped forward and reported his home.
"The disciple Lu Guangdou from the lower academy wants to see you, Mr. Zhao Xun and Zhao."
As soon as the guard of the bad person's yamen heard that Lu Guangdou was a disciple of the academy, he immediately said respectfully: "Sir, please wait a moment, I will go and report it."
Lu Guangdou was not annoyed and waited quietly on the spot.
After about a cup of tea, Zhao Xun ran out in a hurry.
"Sixth Brother, you are here, you are finally here! I miss you so much!"
Zhao Xun quickly rushed forward and gave Lu Guangdou a bear hug, and said excitedly: "Sixth Senior Brother, I knew you would definitely come. You can always trust Sixth Senior Brother!"
"Ahem, it's almost done. Junior brother, there are so many people watching..."
Lu Guangdou felt a little embarrassed. The picture was too beautiful and he didn't dare to look at it.
"Okay, let's talk inside."
…
…
In the bad office, Zhao Xun now has his own private room.
Although he is not as good as the bad guy Feng Hao, it is already a good improvement.
"Senior Brother Six, come and sit down."
Zhao Xun asked Lu Guangdou to sit down, and then poured a cup of hot tea for Lu Guangdou.
"Sixth Senior Brother, drink tea."
Lu Guangdou took the tea cup and took a sip, squinting his eyes and saying, "What kind of medicine are you selling in the gourd?"
"Don't be too courteous. We are all brothers. Just open the window and speak frankly."
"Yes, Senior Brother Six is absolutely right."
Zhao Xun said calmly: "The main reason for inviting Sixth Senior Brother here this time is to hope that Sixth Senior Brother can help us build a tunnel. Oh, it's not just one, I'm afraid there will be many tunnels."
Zhao Xun knew that his request was a bit excessive, but right now he could only rely on his sixth senior brother.
He looked at the Sixth Senior Brother pitifully, with watery eyes.
"Well, this is indeed a bit difficult."
Lu Guangdou scratched his head and said.
It is actually not troublesome to dig just one tunnel, but digging multiple tunnels in a short period of time is an extremely laborious task.
"Maybe we can call a few more people?"
Lu Guangdou asked tentatively.
"It's simple. I can dispatch anyone from the bad guys' yamen."
Zhao Xun patted his chest and said, "Just give the orders, and you can leave the rest of the work to them."
Zhao Xun definitely did not invite Brother Six here to do hard work. He just ensured the overall quality of the project.
