Chapter 466 An Uninvited Guest ([-])

"Alright, then let's get down to business." Zhaolin put down his teacup and snapped his fingers, and a picture of the relationship between the characters with portraits appeared in front of Qi Ke's eyes, "The picture of the patriarch Cao's family has been sorted out."

Looking at this large relationship diagram, Qi Ke felt a little dazzled, and raised his hand to help him clarify the relationship between the characters in it.

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk, wives and concubines are in groups. There are so many people. If the patriarch's family is separated, they can form a small family by themselves." Patriarch Cao's wife is still the first wife, with two legitimate sons and fifteen concubines and concubines. 13 women.

"These are the current population of the Cao family. Whether there are any prostitutes and how many daughters are married, the time is too short to find out yet."

Qi Ke waved his hand indifferently, "If outsiders don't specifically ask about the water spilled by a married daughter, no one in the family will take the initiative to bring it up. Looking for old books, a living person always spends money on eating and drinking from childhood to adulthood. For money, it will be reflected in the account book, or a more troublesome way is to go to the door of the yamen to steal the household documents, there must be records in the household registration, otherwise the yamen will not collect taxes."

"Then it's better to go to the county government to steal the household file. This is the most authoritative record." Zhaolin shrugged, and then he went back to the topic, "The eldest son is Cao Min, 37 years old, and has been appointed as the next The patriarch, at least took over half of the family business."

Zhaolin gave several new windows, showing fragmentary pictures of the eldest son Cao Min handling official affairs, and even a picture of him looking at the account books. From the level of account books he can touch, it can be inferred how many shops and businesses he manages daily.

"Does he know that his father wants to cheat me?"

"It has not been found for the time being, and the insider does not know whether the young patriarch knew about it. The person who knows more inside stories is due to his father. His father is the patriarch's trusted confidant. He is not so dignified. We can't Just listen to the one-sided words of the insider, the little flying insect has not been in place for a long time now, and a lot of information is still being collected, and it will take time to verify it slowly."

"No rush, just do what needs to be done, the initiative and time are on our side." Qi Ke showed an evil smile, "They are squires from Siping County, and I am a military household from Donglin County. I am ready to sink my halberd into the sand."

"Maybe we can also check the local grain merchants? The local grain production is low, and the grain mainly comes in from outside. For a big grain merchant like Cao, the county's grain merchants need to do business with him. Maybe someone will do business with him." To have children and relatives."

"Okay, what we need to investigate is our intention to find out how many people there are in their family. Maybe some of the grain merchants in this county married Cao's daughter?"

"Understood." Zhaolin put away all the lit holographic screens, "I will send the robot over after dark."

"We will do this quietly, and don't let outsiders know, unless patriarch Cao can't bear it and wants to reveal it."

"Oh, by the way, I put those refugees not far from the mountain, and hypnotized them, they will continue to come to Siliu Village, but after they rest at night, I will let the robot send them back to their original place. "

"What do you mean?" Qi Ke imagined it for a while, and shivered, "No matter how far you go during the day, you have to return to the starting point at night. Doesn't this mean that you will never reach your destination and make you crazy?"

"This is a temporary way to delay time. The monitoring flying insects didn't arrive at Cao's mansion until mid-afternoon today. The time is limited and we can't find out much information, but tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, it should be enough to collect the basic information. Let the refugees go."

"The refugees who are used as guns are poor people. Find a good place to house them."

"clear."
