Chapter 93 They Are Not Unity?

Tong Qi made tea and gave them each a cup.

Huo Rong lifted the lid of the bowl, and lightly tossed the two booklets he was reading just now to her: "So I don't think he is too suspicious."

Changying sat quietly, listening respectfully to the following.

"Yesterday, I sent people to watch the ship overnight and brought back these two documents."

Changying took it and opened it, looking down.

These are two booklets that record Qian Yun's collection of silver taels on the Duliang Road, not limited to grain, but also tea, salt, silk, mulberry and other sources.

Although there is no registered amount above, judging from the number of channels available for raising money, the amount that can reach him every season will never be a small amount.

"Qian Yun has been working as a criminal officer for several years, if he wants to make money by stealing material, he wouldn't have to do it in the past year.

"The most important thing is that he is already familiar with the method of raising money on the Supervising Grain Road. He can open up so many channels and keep it so stable. In addition, he is so unobtrusive. There is no need for him to spend that time. Stealing ship material."

Huo Rong said.

Changying groaned after hearing this, and then raised her head: "But the latest news I got after following Wang Zhao all point to Qian Yun."

As she said that, she explained in detail the fact that the previous investigation leads to Wu Li, and then said: "Although I also think that if this person is Qian Yun, he would not be so high-profile.

"But the person who went to pick up the note is Wu Li's subordinate, and Wu Li was promoted by Qian Yun. Could it be that Wu Li is a small supervisor, and he has done such a big thing, how can he not know Qian Yun?" ? Qian Yun knows, why don’t you smoke a share?”

After Huo Rong finished listening, he looked at Tong Qi who was standing beside him.Tong Qi hurriedly said: "At least the guards who had been lurking all night last night said that they did not find that Qian Yun was involved with the shore water transportation department and the navy camp."

There are two possibilities for not discovering it, one is that it has not yet been discovered, and the other is that it has not.

Huo Rong thought for a moment, then said, "I don't know what happened to Xu Lan's merchant ship?"

Chang Ying folded his arms and said nothing, lowering his head and thinking about his own thoughts.

In fact, she had already drawn Qian Yun out before, but Wang followed this line and got such a result instead, which was really unexpected for her.

Think about Wang Zhao's sneaky attitude before...

She suddenly raised her head and said, "There is another possibility, that Wang Zhao is lying."

Huo Rong looked over.

She said: "Huang Ji inquired before and said that Wang Zhao had doubts about the whereabouts of the craftsmen detained in the guard. Since they were captured by soldiers, it is reasonable for him to be suspicious of us. Today Huang Ji took down his gambler, if he turns around to test it, he will naturally set up some obstacles."

"You mean it's not Wu Li who instigated him?" Huo Rong frowned and leaned back in the chair, thinking, "But according to what you said, it was Huang Ji's intentional trick that Wang Zhao's gamblers turned against him. This should not have been discussed in advance between the two of them.

"And you also said that Wang Zhao is very familiar with He Daoshang, and Qian Yun even sends him to do things from time to time."

"What if this is what they arranged long ago to deal with the current situation?" Changying asked. "This matter is too much noise, even if it was all controlled by the Water Transport Department at the beginning, it is indeed inevitable that it will attract attention.

"Whether Wang Zhao is lying or whether Qian Yun is innocent or not I'm not completely sure, but since the people behind this have such courage, they must have thought of a way out."

"But why did they target Wu Li?" Huo Rong asked a question, "Qian Yun installed Wu Li as the supervisor, and the supervisor happened to be the supervisor of the collection, so he should have earned a lot of money over the years.

"Wang Zhao and the others dare to move Wu Lai, Qian Yun will definitely not stand idly by, and even Liu Shuo who is behind Qian Yun will not sit idly by. They don't consider the consequences?"

Speaking of this, his eyes flickered again and again, and then he said: "Unless, this person is also very powerful in the Governor's Mansion of Water Transport."

"That's right!" Changying nodded, "If the person who framed Qian Yun has a lot of background, does that also mean that the Water Transportation Department is not as united as we imagined?"

One of the biggest reasons for the Department of Water Transport from being directly under the emperor's direct jurisdiction to being controlled by relatives is that all positions at all levels are selected and assigned by the Gu family.

Although the military power was still in the hands of the emperor for many years, the water transport had blocked the lifeline of the north-south shipping, and the Gu family and his party held it as tightly as an iron bucket everywhere, and they couldn't do anything about them.

If there is a serious intrigue between them to the point where they don't hesitate to frame each other...

There was a sudden silence in the room, not only Chang Ying was quickly sorting out the possibility, Huo Rong also got up and went to the window to meditate.

"In any case, we must first determine whether this matter has anything to do with Qian Yun. Now that Wu Li's head has been found, let's continue to investigate. Wang Zhao, you continue to watch, and I will let you go tonight." People continued to board the boat to lurk, and then went to follow Wu Li closely."

After a while, he turned around and told Tong Qi a few words, and then said to Changying: "The Dingwang shipyard and the Fuzi merchant ship that I went to last time both had contacts with Dongying people, and the matter of ship materials may not necessarily be related to Dongying people, but at least It means that there may be collusion. If you find something, remember to distinguish it."

Speaking of Dongying people, Changying remembered again: "The man in black who was killed in the woods in Changxing last time, do you know where he came from?"

Huo Rong raised his eyes from behind the teacup: "What?"

Changying hesitated for a moment, then said, "I always feel that there is still something to dig here."

Huo Rong pondered, and said: "There is no clue yet, maybe it will be an unsolved case."

Changying nodded and said nothing.The Changxing matter has not yet been finalized by the capital, and there are actually a lot of disturbing things, how can they all be resolved so quickly.

She stood up, picked up the sword that was untied on the table, and retreated.

When she walked to the door, she happened to meet Guan Su who had just come back. She was not familiar with him, so she glanced at him in a hurry and went out.

Huo Rong served tea and looked at her back, and didn't look at her until Guan Su came close.

Guan Su panted, "Master, Zhou Liang is back!"

……

When Changying returned to the poor room, Su Xinrong was still waiting.

Asked her what Huo Rong wanted her for, for the sake of business, Chang Ying said a few words, stood under the door and thought for a while, there was really nothing to do at the pier, so she asked Huang Ji to lead the horse and go back to the house first .

Just now she and Huo Rong analyzed the clues, and she already felt that the possibility of Qian Yun being framed was quite high. The Gu family had been in charge of the Water Transport Department for so many years, and with such a large plate and heavy profits involved, it was impossible for there to be no disagreement.

But someone would directly lead Huoshuidong to Qian Yun's head. With Qian Yun's background, if this person is not sure, then he is bold enough.

Besides her and Huo Rong's progress, is there any breakthrough on Xu Lan's side?
When she entered the mansion, she gave the horse to Jixiang, and Zhou Liang ran out: "Boss!"
