Chapter 213 213. Undercover visit

Just when Liang Quanbin was happy that he was about to go to Jinling, Feng Jinxu and his party had been conducting secret visits in Jinling City for several days.

The abilities of Xu Lin and his subordinates were indeed extraordinary. In just a few days, they had a thorough understanding of the situation in Jinling City.

When a sea of information appeared on Feng Jinxu's desk, he looked at each one and took notes one by one, while Fu Yi next to him would burn the information he had handed over one by one.

Soon, the big and small matters in Jinling City, the past and the future unfolded in Feng Jinxu's heart like a scroll.

Jinling City was once the capital of a certain dynasty thousands of years ago. Unfortunately, it gradually fell into desolation after years of war and natural disasters.

Then the capital moved north to its current location. On the contrary, after the city of Jinling lost the restraint of imperial power, it became a rich city through hundreds of years of accumulation by merchants and gentry, and even several surrounding states and counties followed suit. few.

But it is also because of this that Jinling City is nominally a city of the Jin Dynasty, but in fact it is controlled by local merchants and gentry. The reason why the Water Transport Department set up the Three Thousand Naval Battalion is to compete with the four major families.

Chi Min Cao Zhu, the real person in power in Jinling City, even the Director of Water Transport had to nod and bow down in front of them and serve him respectfully.

What a shame it is for a high-ranking official of the second rank to bow his head to the lowest class of businessmen, peasants, farmers, and merchants.

Its a pity that no one dared to question or resist.

The most important reason is that Chi Min, Cao Zhu, not only has Tongtian's business in his hands, but also has vast tracts of land and the right to raise armored soldiers.

With money, food and soldiers in hand, why worry about others coming to attack?

Among them, the influence of the Chi family is the most deeply rooted.

The Chi family has been dominant in Jinling City since five hundred years ago. Unfortunately, because our ancestors did not have official status, most of them were engaged in business, farming and reading. They experienced ups and downs in the troubled times and almost lost their roots after many ups and downs.

Until the twenty-first generation head of the family, Chi Chengxu, came out to turn the tide and end the suffering of displacement.

Not only did he drag the Chi family out of the quagmire, but he also took advantage of the wind to break out of the sky and had close connections with many maritime island countries.

Now the Chi family has a secret navigation route that is unknown to outsiders, which can bring countless wealth to the Chi family every year.

As for where the Chi family's soldiers are kept, no one knows.

I only remember that the emperor once sent troops to suppress the danger of the Chi family. Unexpectedly, the emperor's ten thousand soldiers disappeared without a trace, and he died suddenly in the palace with him.

Therefore, every emperor who came to power was wary of the Chi family but did not dare to rashly uproot them. Instead, he treated them with a lenient policy.

The Chi family is also very sensible. Every year they add a quarter of the money to the national treasury.

The emperor would naturally be happy to keep such a gold bag.

So, in more than a hundred years, the Chi family has secured its top position as the overlord of Jinling City.

Even if the Cao family had a figure like the Director of Water Transport, they would not be able to compete with him. One can imagine the power of the Chi family.

The current generation of the family head has reached the twenty-fourth generation, and his name is Chi Zimo.

The power of the Chi family in his hands extends to all corners of the world.

There is a saying in Jinling City, "Change the sky and the earth, but not the pond and the millet."

One can imagine the status of the Chi family in Jinling.

Feng Jinxu was born and raised in Dongdu City. He has never had such an in-depth understanding of Jinling City, which is thousands of miles away. However, when he learned about the Chi family, his serious face did not relax.

The Chi family is so powerful that even the three families of Min, Cao, and Zhu cant compete together. We want to investigate the Chi family, but were afraid we wont be able to.

Feng Jinxu and his party were only seven or eight people. They were not even ants in front of the Chi family. How could they shake this giant tree?

Xu Lin frowned, "What do you mean?" "Start with the Zhu family and the Cao family! The Cao family has just lost the important help of the Water Transport Superintendent, and now its vitality is severely damaged. As for the Zhu family, it's not about May. Are you going to get married with the Chi family? Now is the time to be proud. The two of them are going up and down every day, and they are the easiest to show off. It is much faster to check them than to check the Chi family! "

"yes!"

Looking at the word Min family on the paper, Xu Lin saw him like this and was worried that he was going to investigate the Min family. Before he could explain anything, he heard Feng Jinxu say.

"The Min family has a noble concubine, and she is the mother's family of Prince Ding. This matter has little to do with them, so there is no need to bother to investigate."

"yes."

A pair of ink-like eyes stared at Xu Lin silently, making even a person with a tough complexion like Xu Lin feel a little uncomfortable being stared at by him.

Uncle?

Nothing. You go check it out first.

"yes."

After Xu Lin left the house, Feng Jinxu handed the paper recording the contents of the Min family to Fu Yi, "Burn it."

"yes."

The traces of the paper disappeared as soon as it touched the fire, but Feng Jinxu had a bold guess in his mind.

In the military, Min family, corruption case, maybe the person behind Xu Lin is the one he usually ignores.

If it was really him, why was he involved with his grandfather again?

After the mystery is solved, there is another mystery.

A few days later, in Prince Ding's mansion thousands of miles away, Yang Zhao handed the news from Xu Lin to Xiao Tingyi.

One glance and ten lines, with admiration in his eyes.

The king is indeed right about the person. This Feng Jinxus mind is indeed delicate. He knows the slightest thing but doesnt say anything, and his brain works very quickly.

Yang Zhao stood aside noncommittally. Ever since the prince came to the rescue of Miss Feng San in front of Prince Kang's Mansion, he felt that the prince seemed different from before. He couldn't tell what it was, but he always felt that he paid more attention to people related to Miss Feng San. .

What do you mean by this, Your Majesty?

"They have been monitoring the Zhu family for so long but they haven't found any evidence. However, Feng Jinxu's trip only lasted a few days and he dug out most of the Zhu family's relatives. After all, he was from Dali Temple. Looking for evidence is such a thing. , its really a quick victory.

Yang Zhao was a little surprised after hearing this!

Zhu family, that bone is not that difficult to crack!

Otherwise, the brothers in Jinling City would not have been rejected so many times. Unexpectedly, the Feng family's elder man found out the clues so quickly, which made Yang Zhao curious.

Your Majesty, where did the eldest brother of the Feng family get it?

Xiao Tingyi glanced at him and handed over the letter in his hand. Yang Zhao became more and more impressed with it.

The Zhu family's status in Jinling City is not as good as that of the Chi family and the Min family, but it is on par with the Cao family, so they have been fighting fiercely for many years.

In the past few years, the Cao family had a water transport superintendent, who borrowed power and suddenly suppressed the Zhu family. Originally, some members of the Zhu family were also in the officialdom, but unfortunately they were almost suppressed by the Cao family.

The only thing I can do is to work as a minor official in the Water Transport Department to make some money.
