Yinji came to the door with a pile of account books. Zhou Yuan was overjoyed when he saw them and hurried to greet him:
"Prince..."
"Take it and go back to your residence first!" Yin Ji walked hurriedly.
Zhou Yuan followed with a pile of account books.
Guided by one of Han Zhong's soldiers, Yinji came to his residence.
The houses built with logs and stones are a bit simple.
But Zhao Muyun also lived in such a house, so Yinji couldn't get any special treatment even if he wanted to.
Even if he wanted to do it, he didn't have the conditions!
Yinji didn't care about that and hurriedly asked Zhou Yuan to open the account book. "Mr. Zhou, you are a businessman and have traveled a lot. Let me see what this account book is. What are these strange symbols?"
"Strange symbols?"
Zhou Yuan had already asked his attendants to bring an abacus to check the accounts. When he heard what Yinji said, he was startled.
After flipping through a book, his eyes widened.
The whole person stood there, as if the air was stagnant.
"Mr. Zhou, what's wrong with you?"
"Prince, is this really an account book?" Zhou Yuan swallowed and asked blankly.
It’s over, even Zhou Yuan doesn’t know!
Yin Ji immediately slapped his thigh and regretted it inwardly. If he had known earlier, he would have swallowed his pride and listened to how the maid taught him.
"Of course it was brought out by the female warehouse officer from Yinzhou Prefecture. Captain Han also calls her Bai Canjun!" Yinji said hatefully.
Zhou Yuan suddenly trembled all over:
"Sir, you said the accountant is a woman, and her last name is Bai?"
"That should be it! Is there any problem?" Yin Ji frowned. "This woman is quite pretty. She should have some background."
Yinji was born in a royal palace and traveled back and forth to the capital, having seen countless beauties from Dayin.
A woman like Bai Ruolan is indeed stunning in Shuozhou, but in Yinji's eyes, she is probably used to it.
"If I'm not mistaken, this woman must be the young lady from the Bai family who went to Yanzhou a month ago and has not been heard from since, my fiancée!" Zhou Yuan stomped his feet.
"Your fiancée? Why have I never heard of her? And how did she get to Yinzhou?" Yin Ji was also surprised.
"Well, it's a long story. It must be Zhao Muyun who is behind this. The hatred of having my wife stolen is unforgivable! My Lord, you have to help me!" Zhou Yuan immediately saluted Yinji.
If Bai Shoujing and Bai Shouren of the Bai family were still alive, Zhou Yuan would naturally be attracted by the Bai family's business influence and would definitely take Bai Ruolan as his wife.
But now it’s different. Both brothers of the Bai family are “dead”, and Bai Sheng pushed his cousin to marry into the Zhou family in order to find a backer.
Zhou Yuan now just feels that the woman who should have belonged to him was abducted by someone, and he can't stand this.
"You and I are one, so I must help you! If we find out that Zhao Muyun is illegally producing salt, we can bring him to justice, and you can win her heart!"
"The problem is, we've found nothing. You can't even understand their account books, so how can we investigate Zhao Muyun?"
I originally thought Zhou Yuan knew what these symbols meant, but it turned out that he was also blind.
Yinji was furious.
"Prince, this account book was made by Bai Ruolan. As a member of the Bai family, Bai Sheng should know it!" Zhou Yuan's eyes lit up.
Yinji was overjoyed: "That's right, how could I have forgotten him! Where is he? Find him right away!"
"I asked him to go around outside the city and see if there is any clue about the illegal salt workshop." Zhou Yuan said.
"You're so stupid! Zhao Muyun produces tens of thousands of kilograms of goods every month, so his workshop must be very large. How could he possibly keep it in Yinzhou City or even outside the city?"
"It must be hidden in some secret place, unknown to anyone. Bai Sheng's search like this is in vain." Yinji had a look of disappointment on his face.
"The prince is right. I will send someone to call him back immediately and sort out the account book issue first."
......
The two wanted to call Bai Sheng back, but they didn't know that Bai Sheng encountered an unexpected surprise outside the city.
While Zhao Muyun was fighting with Pei Lun, Yin Ji, Zhou Yuan and others, Bai Sheng took a few people to walk around the city. After finding nothing about salt, they went out of the south gate of the city and walked southwest along the Zishui River.
After walking two or three miles, I found nothing and was about to go home.
Suddenly, bursts of white mist and steam emerged from a valley on the other side of the river.
There are many boats docked on the shore, and people are coming and going carrying things.
Bai Sheng sniffed hard, as if he smelled a salty and damp smell in the air.
"Could this be Zhao Muyun's salt workshop?"
"It's hard to be discovered here in the valley, and transportation is convenient. We can use boats to carry it. In less than half a day, we can follow the Zishui River to the Grand Canal, and then cross the Grand Canal to reach the ferry crossings in other prefectures in Hedong Road."
Bai Sheng suddenly became excited.
Now that Zhao Muyun’s illegal salt den has been found, he can just wait to be dismissed and punished by the court!
However, how could Zhao Muyun let him discover this salt-making workshop so easily?
To be on the safe side, Bai Sheng took a risk: "Let's find a boat to the other side and get a more thorough understanding."
"Young Master, this is too dangerous! Why don't we go back and report to Lord Yin and Young Master Zhou before making any plans." An attendant advised.
"Go back to the city now and tell Master Zhou about this situation. I will observe here for a while." Bai Sheng immediately asked the man to go back and report.
"Young Master, please wait for me. Don't be impulsive." The attendant warned worriedly.
"You're so nagging!" Bai Sheng waved his hand impatiently.
After the attendant left, Bai Sheng felt a little bored staying by the river and saw that a boat had been loaded on the opposite shore and was ready to leave.
"Let's go and take a look! It's better to stay a little further away." Bai Sheng couldn't hold back any longer.
No one wanted Zhao Muyun to fall more than him.
The Bai family and Zhao Muyun became enemies after Old Huang and ten bodyguards were killed in the secret passage of Heituo Mountain, and 600 kilograms of coarse salt and 400 kilograms of pig iron were stolen.
The current situation of their Bai family has a lot to do with Zhao Muyun.
It was not until the assassination at Tongfu Inn in Shuozhou City that Bai Sheng forced Bai Ruolan away and seized all of the Bai family's assets.
Bai Sheng's mentality became a little inflated.
"Young Master, let's not take any risks!" The other five followers also urged him.
"Shut up! Do I need you to teach me how to do things?"
Bai Sheng's face turned cold. "You guys, find a boat right now. We'll go over and investigate. If you don't listen, get out of the Bai family!"
The five followers had no choice but to go to the shore to find a boat.
They prayed that no boats would appear on the shore.
The group walked along the river for a while, but really didn't see any boats.
The five followers breathed a sigh of relief. Now they didn't have to obey Bai Sheng's insistence on crossing the river to investigate.
Rumble!
Just when a few people were planning to rest by the roadside, the sound of horse hooves suddenly rang out.
"Could it be that Mr. Zhou sent someone here?"
Bai Sheng couldn't find the boat and was a little discouraged, but he was encouraged when he heard the sound of horse hooves.
Just as he was about to take people to meet them, he discovered something was wrong.
"Why are they a group of knights from a foreign race?"
"Could it be that they are the Wuhuan people recruited by Zhao Muyun?"
“Damn it!”
