Chapter 680: Arrangement (rewards and updates for alliance leader Cai Shuning)

Su You said: "Korean paper is different from ordinary goods. There is no rise or fall, so there is no need to hoard it. It stands to reason that merchants are pursuing profits. Since it has arrived in Bianjing, they should rush to change hands. Right?"

Lu Jiawen suddenly came to his senses: "But this Li Tong has kept this batch of goods for recent years and has no intention of selling it..."

Seeing Su You nodding and indicating for him to continue, Lu Jiawen summoned up the courage: "That means that Li Tong doesn't care about this profit at all. There are only two possibilities, either he has other livelihood, or he doesn't care about it at all.

Not a merchant!"

Su You smiled: "You are worthy of being a talent that your husband values. So, should you continue with this matter or should I?"

Lu Jia asked seriously and said: "The City Yi Division can check Li Tong's business dealings and investigate the people who have come into contact with him. If necessary, ask Dayin to send quick catchers to help."

Su You said: "Don't forget to ask Your Majesty to ask the Imperial City Secretary for help. It's time to clean up the dirty things in Bianjing City so that the people of the capital can have a good year."

Lu Jiawen knew that Su You was using him, but he had to fall for it. This Li Tong was most likely a smuggler. The so-called merchant was just a cover, and the city's Yi Division was in charge!

On the other hand, he had to hold his nose to accept Su You's suggestion. After all, the clues were discovered by others.

Three days later, Lu Jiawen came to visit with another dignified eunuch, Song Zhengqing and Song Yongchen.

This kid is a native of Kaifeng. He was involved in the renovation of the blockhouses in Bianjing City and the Luoshui Project in Bianhe River. This kid was promoted to Tiju. He had a lot of dealings with Su You and looked like a fool.

Su You was a little surprised: "Where did the envoy from the Song Dynasty come from?"

Song Yongchen said: "Our family is engaged in ice well service. Shaobao, if the matter becomes serious, the officials will be furious, so we have to come."

The Ice Well Affairs Office, theoretically the office responsible for distributing ice cubes to non-official harems, was under the direct control of the Imperial City Department.

But just like the Tiansheng Festival Fireworks Organizer, the name is just a code name.

Su You didn't know until now that this honest and honest internal official with an engineering and technical background who had been dealing with him for a year was actually one of the leaders of the "chazi" rumored to be in Bianjing City.

Su You didn't dare to neglect: "Let's go, let's talk in the capital hall."

After reading the dense list handed over by Song Yongchen, Su You felt his scalp was numb: "So many people? What case?"

Song Yongchen said: "This Li Tong is a key smuggler. He developed a book purchasing network in Bianjing. He purchased books from scholars, secretly transported them to Dengzhou, and then shipped them to the Liao Kingdom for profit."

"On the list are people who have sold books to him."

Su You flatly refused: "Even so, it is not certain that these people have committed a crime. First, they may not know Li Tong's true identity. Second, books such as the Nine Classics and Buddhist scriptures are not prohibited. These people

It’s hard to define crime.”

Song Yongchen smiled honestly: "Then please take a look at this."

The number of people in the second list was much smaller, but terms such as "Chou Case", "Ordnance Supervisor", "General Supervisor", etc. made Su You frightened.

Lu Jiawen said: "It has been found out that Li Tong was also involved in internal and external affairs, using huge profits to lure bandits and spy on the secrets of the Emperor and Song Dynasty."

Su You was frightened: "What secrets did you find out?"

Song Yongchen said: "Judging from the current control situation, it is generally city defense and weapons. Look at it, Dayin."

After saying that, he handed over a picture, which was a picture of the internal structure of the bastion added to the outer wall of Kaifeng City.

Song Yongchen pointed to a line on the list: "As a Korean merchant, Li Tong went in and out of Jixi'er Lane, visited the Xiang army participating in the service, inquired about the construction situation of the fortress, and also drew pictures."

"Three days ago, the Liao envoy arrived in Beijing and sent his followers to the horse shop to sell horses. Later, the followers entered Jixi'er Lane and came into contact with the foreign residence of Tang Dun, a member of the Ministry of War."

Su You's mouth twitched: "Sister Jin?"

Song Yongchen nodded.

Su You was a little confused: "Then Li Tong died in Jixi'er Lane. Didn't Sister Jin take advantage of that naughty boy and deliberately expose herself?"

Song Yongchen was an eunuch and had no sympathy for her: "She has to ask herself about this."

Lu Jiawen said: "Now we have reason to suspect that those people who had contact with Sister Jin, including Liang Zhenfu, Tu San, and Li Tong, all died under strange circumstances."

Song Yongchen said: "Now it can be believed that there is a black hand in Beijing, which intends to control and integrate the forces in Bianjing city, blackmail officials, and have connections with foreign countries. Moreover, this person has considerable power."

Lu Jiawen nodded: "This Sister Jin should be the key contact person, but I don't know what went wrong. Sister Jin used a trick to anger Miao Xiu and kill Li Tong, exposing the matter."

Song Yongchen handed over to Su You: "Thanks to Shaobao for his carefulness, otherwise he would have just let it go as an ordinary fight. Haha, all the civil and military officials of the Song Dynasty would have been made fun of by a mere Korean woman."

Su You asked: "What about Sister Jin now?"

Song Yongchen said: "We have already put her under surveillance. She is now the bait, just waiting for the big fish to take the bait."

Su You nodded, then shook his head: "Unless he is stupid. Does your husband know the situation now? How should Kaifeng Mansion cooperate?"

Lu Jiawen said: "My husband's intention is to have Kaifeng Mansion issue a statement saying that as the New Year is approaching, inspections in the factory will be strengthened, and then the people involved in the case will be secretly arrested."

"Also, the demolition area in the Dongranyuan area has now become a haven for thieves in Tokyo. The Kaifeng Prefecture should strengthen its organization and eradicate it all at once!"

Su You stretched out his hand: "Where is the order?"

Song Yongchen handed an imperial edict to Su You: "This is an internal decree, and the Yintai Department did not countersign it."

Lu Jiawen also handed over an order from the Central Committee of the CPC to Su You: "This is the order from Prime Minister Yin to bring order in the capital. What is said in the article has nothing to do with this case."

Su You read the two orders and said, "No problem, Kaifeng Mansion will act as ordered."

Song Yongchen and Lu Jiawen looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

Su You pointed at the schematic diagram of the bastion: "But this kind of fraud is too crude and will cause bad things. I want to see real evidence."

Lu Jiawen was shocked: "Da Yin...how do you know?"

Su You smiled and said, "Too much is too much, this picture is made of Korean paper. The paper is exquisite, but the ink is poor. This is because the Korean ink has less glue and is more sandy."

"But as a person who is involved in confidential matters, would he make such a low-level mistake? Whose idea was it?"

Lu Jiawen and Song Yongchen looked at each other, their faces flushed.

Su You nodded: "That's what we discussed together. Go and plead guilty to His Majesty and your husband. Then go to the Huangsong Bank to investigate the financial transactions of these people; and the guilds to find out the connections between them; most importantly,

Li Tong's truth is as you said, the real thing is most likely in the ghost market and needs to be dug out."

"For such a big matter, I would rather fail to solve the case and be punished by His Majesty and Zhongshu, than make a lie and hope that others will not see through it. The consequences will be more serious..."

Lu Jiawen really regretted it. In order to strengthen his persuasiveness, he used some tricks, but others saw through it at a glance.

Su You didn't care about his emotions: "Next, the Kaifeng Prefecture will drive those people to the west and south of the city and drive them to the northeast. If Li Tong really leaves anything behind, they will definitely become the target of competition. Wait until they get into trouble.

Your chance."

"I've long been disgusted with that Wangyou Cave. Let's cook it together in half a month!"

In the following days, Kaifeng Prefecture's Kuaishou arrest team came out to begin the work of improving public security before the Spring Festival.

The benefits of the Baojia method implemented by Wang Anshi are evident. With Li Jia taking the lead, all the families under management are familiar to each other, and the relatives, guests, tenants and heads of the family are all familiar with it.

So the flies and mice had only one place to go - the slums under demolition in the northeast of the city.

Soon, conflicts began between foreign forces and local forces in the northeast of the city.

Among these forces, there are two government forces that fish in troubled waters. One is Lin Erman, the Pier Gang envoyed by Zhang Qi, and the other is the secret sentry deployed by the Imperial City Department in the city.

The case soon made a breakthrough. A group of thieves wanted to enter Zhu Qian's husband's house in Jixi'er Lane, but were captured by people from the Imperial City Division.

When the Wang family's carts were hauling goods out of the city, they encountered a post set up by the city's Yiwu to intercept them. The driver tried to rush past the guard post, but was captured by the Kaifeng Prefecture's express team.

During the conflict, the man tried to resist, and the murder weapon he used was a standard saber!

Afterwards, under the car, I found Bianjing City’s defense force, city drawings, and even the latest bastion structure diagram!
Chapter completed!
