Chapter 870

the second day.

As soon as Ji Yunshu arrived at the Ministry of punishment, Jing Zhaoyin came. "The officer ordered people to search around the inn, even farther away, but there was no sand nearby. Even if there was, it was far away, and no suspicious place was found around there, even with the formula you taught us by Lord Ji

The monsters and freaks of all descriptions Baijiu dredge for a needle in the sea. No one can find blood stains with vinegar or liquor. As for the three men wearing the mask of ghosts and gods, some people have seen them in the street, but they can not recognize the appearance because they are wearing masks, like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Sigh!

Ji Yunshu: "that's no clue!"

Jing Zhaoyin continued: "the lower official also asked Lord Liu of the Ministry of war, who was responsible for the entrance and exit of the city gate when Jiao Shiniang entered Beijing. He said that Jiao Shiniang held an approval from Xing Xiyang, President of Lingnan chamber of Commerce, so he directly let them enter Beijing without much inspection at that time."

"The approval of Lingnan chamber of Commerce?"

"Yes, the presidents of the four major chambers of Commerce of the chamber of Commerce arrived in the capital as early as a month ago. If so, at present, it should be only Xing Xiyang, President of Lingnan chamber of Commerce, who can be sure that Jiao Shiniang knows in the capital. As for their relationship, I don't know."

Dalin has four chambers of Commerce, Zhongdu chamber of Commerce, Lingnan chamber of Commerce, Anzhou chamber of Commerce and Qiyang chamber of Commerce.

The presidents of the four major chambers of Commerce gathered in Beijing a month ago for the triennial chamber of Commerce Festival.

On the surface, it is to jointly host the chamber of Commerce Festival.

But in fact, there is another particularly important reason! When the chamber of Commerce was established, in order to make the four major merchants restrict and help each other, there was also a post of general president of the chamber of Commerce, which was specially used to manage the four major chambers of Commerce, equivalent to the head of the chamber of Commerce. However, the former general president suddenly fell ill and died three years ago, so that the post of general president has been vacant for the past three years, This year, it is planned to choose one of the presidents of the four major chambers of Commerce. However, this is the supervision of the Ministry of officials and the Ministry of household, which has nothing to do with the Ministry of punishment. Therefore, Ji Yunshu is not too interested. He just listens to a few adults occasionally. As soon as the wind blows, it blows to her ears

Side.

So, what is the relationship between Jiao Shiniang and Xing Xiyang?

She was confused——

A little Yin from the Ministry of punishment hurried to her "office".

"Lord Ji."

"What's up?"

Xiao Yin came in with a small booklet in his hand: "just now our people went to the morgue to check Jiao Shiniang's body and found that it fell off her. I don't know what it is. Let's show it to adults first."

As he spoke, he handed it to Ji Yunshu.

That's a yellow / yellow ledger!

Very small!

Very suitable for carrying!

Ji Yunshu opened a few pages to check. All the records on them were business bills and transactions, as well as the records of the places where many spices were sold.

It's normal for a businessman to have an account book!

She was about to close it, but suddenly turned to the last few pages and gave a hand.

I saw Xing Xiyang's name!

He looked at it carefully, and the account book said "on July 14, fifty thousand liang of silver will be paid to the west, and it will be paid back on August 14", which was clear and clear.

Fifty thousand Liang!

How many poor people can't spend all their lives.

Jing Zhaoyin: "Lord Ji, what's the matter? What's written on it?"

Ji Yunshu handed him the account book directly.

At first glance, Jing Zhaoyin was surprised: "Xing Xiyang? Why is he again? What is the relationship between the two? Why did Xing Xiyang give Jiao Shiniang the approval to enter Beijing? Jiao Shiniang gave him 50000 liang of silver?" After a while, he guessed, "is there... Any secret between them?"

"Since we want to guess, let's guess boldly."

"What does Lord Ji mean?" Ji Yunshu got up from his chair, walked around the table and said, "Xing Xiyang will give Jiao Shiniang an approval, and Jiao Shiniang lent Xing Xiyang 50000 Liang. There must be a lot of relationship between them, or as you said, there is some secret, but Xing Xiyang is the president of Lingnan chamber of commerce

, one of the presidents of Dalin's four major chambers of Commerce, how can a person who controls the lifeline of commercial transportation in the South still borrow money? Fifty thousand Liang should not be money to him, but what is the reason for him to ask Jiao Shiniang to borrow fifty thousand liang of silver? Moreover, according to the account book, the time of paying the silver was July 14, that is, last month, and the time of paying back the money was August 14. The positive sign was the day Jiao Shiniang entered Beijing. How so coincidental? But on the day of paying back the money, Jiao Shiniang died? Suppose that Xing Xiyang knew that Jiao Shiniang came to Beijing and worried about her

He found himself to pay back the money, but he was unable to pay it back, so he jumped into the window. In order not to leave evidence at the scene, he took her out of the Inn and killed her. He put on a suspicious array, put a mask on the dead, and stuck her hands with wax oil. The real purpose... Is to disturb us. "

Jing Zhaoyin listened very carefully and thought: "Lord Ji's remark connected all the possibilities. Is it true that the murderer was Xing Xiyang?"

"I just said it was a hypothesis. There are still many doubts. If we really want to solve it, it seems that we have to ask Xing Xiyang."

"The presidents of the four chambers of commerce all lived in the Brunei Pavilion arranged by the imperial court."

"Then let's go and ask ourselves."

Soon, Ji Yunshu and Jing Zhaoyin went to Brunei pavilion with only two little Yin.

No "Big Bang"! The place where the four business giants live is not ambiguous. The whole Brunei Pavilion is the same as the ancient version of the "Great Hall of people's names". Although it is not the kind of resplendent and blinding, it is said that agriculture was more important than commerce in ancient times. Now it seems that it is not every generation in every dynasty. This is the pendulum in Brunei Pavilion

The layout is very elegant, and all objects are very elegant and valuable. Just say that the potted plant on the left side of the door is worth tens of Liang, not to mention other appliances inside.

Poverty has limited my imagination!

Sure enough, business will not be eliminated by the times for long!

No wonder Ma Yun's mother is so rich.

If she can go back to modern times, she also wants to do business.

The boy in Brunei Pavilion led Ji Yunshu and Jing Zhaoyin in with his waist.

Before he reached the hall, Xing Xiyang greeted him from a distance.

Ji Yunshu had myopia and didn't see it until he was close to his eyes.

Xing Xiyang was in his forties. He looked very ordinary, but he was very kind. He was clearly a rich man, but he wore very simple clothes. The material was not the best, and the objects he wore were not the best. In modern times, it was the dress of veteran cadres in the military region courtyard.

"Xing did not know that the two adults came suddenly and failed to meet in time. Please forgive me." He had a thick, husky voice. But it sounds safe!
