At this moment, four men in the back hall of Xiping County Yamen sat around the table with a serious expression.

County Magistrate Cao lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, looking as if he was pretending to be contemplative, but his mind was blank.

The man sitting on the right side of the county magistrate Cao was named Feng Shuoyi. He was the famous Feng jade shop owner in the city. He was wearing coarse cloth clothes, a big belly, and his small eyes were squeezed even smaller by the fat on his face. It was snowing outside, but a drop of sweat dripped from his forehead. He took out the sweat towel from his sleeve and wiped it casually, but he didn't dare to speak.

On the left hand of the county magistrate Cao was a young man in a thick robe and plain clothes. He had a white face and no beard, his slender eyes were shining with shiny light, his light red lips were tense, and his whole body was filled with strength, which made people breathless.

Time flows minute by minute, and the atmosphere becomes heavier.

The three of them looked at the middle-aged man facing Cao County Magistrate. He was about forty years old, with a sparse short beard and dark skin. He was Zun Lu Yuan, Xiping County.

"Lu Yuan, what do you think of this year's jade business?" asked the young and white-faced young man without beard, and the pressure was a little stronger.

He raised his hand and picked up the teacup, squeezed the lid and blew the heat gently, took a sip, and then said, "The adoptive father sent our family here, not to stare at you."

Lu Yuan smiled reluctantly and bowed, "Eunuch Hong is joking, aren't we trying to find a way?" He raised his eyes and looked at County Magistrate Cao, frowned, and said, "Who asked you to kill Xie Jing, you're just causing trouble!"

County Magistrate Cao licked his lips. What was the point of suppressing all this matter on him? In that situation at that time, wouldn’t Xie Jing be waiting for him to threaten him, to shake out all the matters of the Jade Mine, and then go to the village to slaughter!

Thinking of this in his heart, he smiled and replied, "Xie Jing is not a pity for death, it will not affect the business of the coming year. The jade mined last year is enough for this year. It's amazing that he reassigns a village chief to be a puppet."

"Hmph, we don't care about these trivial matters." Hong Quan smiled and continued: "In recent years, the market for Nanyang jade in Runing Mansion has risen sharply. When his adoptive father talked about this jade with foreign businessmen, he decided to make a deal. Ornaments, jade pendants, snuff bottles and other toys are included, and a total of 30,000 pieces are required. After spring, the sea in Guangzhou will be able to sail."

Foreign business?

Cao Zongming smiled in his heart. Hong Quan's adoptive father was named Wang Qiu. He was originally a eunuch who served His Majesty in the palace. Because he had written a good poem, he was highly valued. He is now the envoy of the Guangzhou Prefecture Maritime Bureau, specializing in the transactions of foreign countries.

But who would have thought that due to the rampant Japanese pirates at sea, the sea ban has become increasingly stricter in recent years and the investigation and integration system has been implemented, and the Maritime Procuratorate Department is useless.

Wang Qiu had no money, so he naturally had to find his own way of wealth, so he remembered the adopted son he had recognized in the palace in the past.

Hong Quan was born in Runing Mansion. When he heard that Wang Qiu was willing to do some business in private, Hong Quan naturally remembered Nanyang jade produced in Runing Mansion. With the help of working in the palace, he joined forces with Xiping County Zun Lu Yuan to reach a consensus.

The so-called foreign businessmen in Hong Quan's mouth are mostly smugglers, and even worse, it is possible that the Japanese pirates may be so proud of him.

Hong Quan gently scratched the lid of the teacup, glanced at the three of them, and asked, "Feng Shuoyi, how much inventory is there in your jade store?"

Feng Shuo wiped his sweat, was embarrassed and smiled with a flattering smile, and replied, "When I return to Eunuch Hong's words, the inventory is included, and there are probably ten thousand pieces." He glanced at County Magistrate Cao and said, "It will take more than ten days to transport jade from Runing Mansion to Guangzhou Mansion day and night. If we wait for the beginning of spring to start mining and carving stones, it will probably be too late, and it will be unhappy if our father-in-law's business is delayed."

"Why did you look at me saying this? What a big deal to die for Xie Jing! Xie Jing instructed his servants to set fire to the village boy to death. Liu Yuan came to the county government for help. He is fame and fortune, and his background is not simple. Why do you tell me to be indifferent? You haven't seen those villagers... If I don't kill him, Xiping County will be rebel!" County Magistrate Cao glanced at Hong Quan with anger on his face, and then pressed down again, suppressing his face and turning red.

Hong Quanse was a little dissatisfied and looked at Lu Yuan and said, "Lu County Zun, our family is not here to watch you play the ball." He threw the teacup heavily on the table with a "bang". The teacup tilted and the water spilled all over the table, and no one dared to hide.

Feng Shuoyi covered the water with a sweat towel, wiped it while smiling and said, "Eunuch Hong, don't be angry, let's find a way slowly, we can always come up with a way, and we will never delay your work."

Lu Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "Eunuch Hong, before you come, Eunuch Wang sent a letter to the Xiaguan."

Hong Quan frowned and asked, "What do you want to say in your foster father?" He didn't say the second half of the sentence. His foster father had something to say, but he didn't pass it through his mouth, so that he didn't want him to know.

But since he didn't let him know, Lu Yuan mentioned it again, what does this mean?

Lu Yuan said: "It happened suddenly, I think Eunuch Wang didn't have time to tell you."

He paused and then said, "The Jinyiwei seems to have made some moves. Eunuch Wang means that he has made enough money over the years with Nanyang jade. If he continues, he is afraid that the tree will attract the wind. After doing this transaction in Guangzhou, we will let us stop and lie down for a few days. The Jinyiwei people are all over the place. If Lu Bing catches the handle, Eunuch Wang will not look good. This is a small transaction, not worth it."

Lu Bing, commander of the Jinyiwei.

His origin is also legendary. His mother was the wet nurse of Emperor Jiajing. She grew up with Jiajing. This person is upright.

I mine jade ore privately and make profits with Nanyang jade!

If he really found out such a serious crime, then they would be in danger. It is difficult for Wang Qiuyuan to get news in Guangzhou Prefecture and send someone to inform Lu Yuan in time.

Wang Qiu is now far away in Guangzhou Prefecture, and wants to have a face with Lu Bing... It probably won't work, right?

The four of them fell into a solemn atmosphere again. Hong Quan knew that Nanyang Yu was a piece of fat meat and was cut like this. He was really reluctant to let him go, but after his adoptive father spoke, he could not make him dissatisfied with him because of this money.

Hong Quan was still considering these words, and Feng Shuoyi rushed to say, "Don't make jade? How can you do it..." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a chill in his neck.

He is a powerless businessman who does this business. He is his master at home and makes a lot of money, but if he doesn't do it anymore.

If he doesn't do it, he will have no value. What will happen if he awaits him?

Feng Shuoyi knew that he was just a small jade merchant. Lu Yuan and Cao Zongming targeted him because he had no foundation and had been a merchant for generations. He was a puppet in front of him and found the jade mine in Xianan Village, deceiving the prefect to conceal the amount of jade collected to make profits.

Not to mention that old fox Wang Qiu, who is the three people in front of him, can who can tolerate a lowly businessman holding their handle?

What's more, the Jinyiwei came to get a kick!
