Chapter 347 347 Catch
Zhou Jia and Li Yu took the words and offered them up, and when they came out, they didn't even bother to chat with Chu Sihai. Zhou Jia looked at Chu Sihai with a solemn expression: "Please come with me, big shopkeeper, and discuss something important."
When Chu Sihai arrived at Yunzhou City, he also found that there were a lot of guards at the gate of the city. Seeing that Zhou Jiacai had received the emperor's reward, he solemnly told himself that he had something important to discuss, and he had a premonition that something major would happen.
nodded with a heavy heart, followed Zhou Jia to the study in the main courtyard, where Li Yu was already waiting.
After the three sat down, Zhou Jia asked Li Yu to tell Chu Sihai what she had discovered, and Chu Sihai stood up in shock: "I'm still wondering why the number of guards at the city gate has increased a lot, Lord Zhou, General Shen he······"
"Don't be impatient, the shopkeeper, General Shen has already taken people to Luoji Mountain, and there is another important matter," Zhou Jia raised his hand to stop Chu Sihai's words, "The mansion I went to before and after you and my wife just took her up the mountain. She told me about the discovery of Qi soldiers while hunting, and said that she found two jars of pickles made with her recipe in the bag of the two Qi soldiers."
"Is there something wrong with the pickles?" Chu Sihai asked strangely.
"The big shopkeeper didn't know that the pickles were made by my wife when she was in Xishan, and it was on the pipeline... Later, I sold the recipe to Wei Wencheng, the big shopkeeper of the Wei family, and my wife stopped making that pickles. Think about Wei Wencheng. The family's pickles are in the hands of Qi Jun Yingwei, and then think about the Four Seas Bank, do you feel that the Wei family and the Four Seas Bank are similar in purpose?"
After Chu Sihai heard it, he suddenly realized: "Yes! Your Majesty can have Sihai Qianzhuang, and Qi can also have Wei's family business. The Wei family has shops in the prefectures of Dayong, and the Sihai Qianzhuang is in Daqi..." Chu Sihai Yue The more frightened he said, he stood up suddenly before he finished speaking, and bowed his hands at the two of them: "Master Zhou, Mrs. Li, thank you, and leave the world."
Zhou Jia stood at the door and watched Chu Sihai sprint away, turned back to the study, Li Yu looked at Zhou Jia and sighed: "If you are not the prefect of Dayong, we will lead someone to find a secret place to live in seclusion, no longer Take care of this shit."
Zhou Jia stepped forward to hug Li Yu and comforted him: "Yu'er, no matter where people go, there will be disputes. Don't worry too much. Dayong is not defenseless against Daqi."
"I know," Li Yu leaned against Zhou Jia and smelled the stench of sweat on his body, and pushed him away with a smile, "Okay, let's go wash up and eat something before we talk."
Zhou Jia shook his head: "Wait later, you will have someone send it to the Qianya. I have to go to the Qianya to get the fish scale book and compare it to see how many shops the Wei family has in Yunzhou City and other townships and counties."
Li Yu nodded: "Okay! Business is important."
Chu Sihai hurried back to Sihai Qianzhuang, Chu Feng greeted him, Chu Sihai looked at him and ordered, "Quickly send someone out to check Wei's shop."
"As ordered." For some reason, Chu Feng wanted to investigate the Wei family, but he arranged things in a flying block, and turned to find Chu Sihai who wanted to talk about Li Yu.
Chu Sihai said to him: "I already know what you want to say. You heard the news that the Tian family and the grain store clerk colluded to control the new rice seeds and sold them to the Qi people's caravan. How could the Tian family know in advance that there would be The grain has been shipped? Since when did you start to lure the son of the grain store keeper to gamble?"
Chu Sihai asked a series of questions that confused Chu Feng, and quickly bowed to apologize: "Big shopkeeper, please convict your subordinates, it is a subordinate dereliction of duty."
Chu Sihai looked at him and thought that he only learned from the Zhou family that there was a problem with the Wei family, and then thought of what happened to the Tian family and the grain store. The shopkeeper of the grain store also agreed with him, and he couldn't blame him all.
"Let's talk about your dereliction of duty later, go, go and interrogate Tian Kun again, and ask him who told him the news?"
Chu Feng felt gloomy in his heart, thinking that it must be the Wei family who did it? Only their news is so well-informed, then our rice seeds may have already fallen into the hands of Da Qi.
The two of them reached the dungeon. Tian Kun, who was as fat as a steamed bun with white flour, had lost a lot of weight by this time, and he looked like he was invincible, but he became humble and submissive.
As soon as Chu Sihai asked, he told Douzi all the reasons for the incident: "When I was drinking in the garden, I overheard the storekeeper Wei and a few merchants discussing how good the rice seeds in their village are and how high the yield is. He also said that the Fenggu Grain Store in Yunzhou will soon have new grains on the market. That Daqi merchant was also introduced to me by shopkeeper Wei. Shopkeeper Chu, I was really wronged! I just thought that I could sell two more silvers. It's just, I didn't want to do something that I'm sorry for Dayong."
Chu Feng looked at him and asked, "Tian Kun, do you know that the son of the grain store owner is addicted to gambling?"
Tian Kun looked at Chu Feng blankly, "How would I know if he bet or not? I bought food from his father."
"I don't know that something that is not greedy has been used as a spearman." Chu Sihai and Chu Feng turned around and left.
Watching the two turn around and leave after asking, Tian Kun shouted anxiously: "Manager Chu, I was designed by Wei Wenzhong's bastard, please forgive me this time, Manager Chu..."
The two of them ignored Tian Kun's cry and quickly left the dungeon.
Chu Sihai said to Chu Feng: "I'm going to spread the news, you can send more people to quietly surround the Wei family's shop, don't let anyone go, you go to the yamen and ask Lord Zhou to bring some more staff, and immediately put Wei's shop. The home's shop is closed."
Chu Feng arranged for He Yunyi to look up the drawings, only to find that the Wei family actually has more than 20 shops in Yunzhou, and they have set foot in all walks of life, such as inns, furs, cloth shops, grocery stores... Quickly transcribe it and mark the location, all the people in the Bank of the Seas were dispatched and quietly rushed to the Wei family shop on the street.
It's getting cold, and the Wei family's fur shop on Dongcheng Street is booming. The shop is full of customers and hunters who buy and sell fur. The dry shop on West Street is deserted, and many customers come to the door occasionally... ··
Chu Feng rushed to the government office, and Zhou Jiazheng took Wu Tingxian and a few scribes to check the Wei family's shops, and found that there were fur shops of the Wei family in Dayong County, which was closer to Daqi. Zhou Jia thought that some of them were hunters. their spy.
Zhou Jia saw that Chu Feng came anxiously, guessed what they had found, and hurriedly returned to the prison with him.
"Brother Zhou, quickly lead someone to bring the Wei family's shop and the shopkeeper's family and servants back to the mansion. Those who leave the city at the gate of the city must check the household receipts, and those with suspicious behavior cannot be released."
Zhou Jia responded immediately: "Okay, I'll send someone here. I'll notify the yamen guarding the city gate. You have to hurry and inform the generals of the city guards."
The two acted separately. Zhou Jia dispatched yamen and government soldiers one by one according to the location marked by Chu Feng. Everyone headed towards the shop marked by Chu Feng. Fortunately, there are officers and soldiers patrolling the streets every day these days. What a panic, the Wei family's fur shop had the largest number of people, and the officers and soldiers who had arrived suddenly surrounded the shop.
