Zhou Jia and Li Yu took the gift words and offered them to him. They didn't bother to chat with Chu Sihai when they came out. Zhou Jia looked at Chu Sihai solemnly: "Master, please come with me. We have something important to discuss."

When Chu Sihai arrived at Yunzhou City, he also found that there were many more guards at the city gate. When he saw Zhou Jiacai accepting the emperor's reward, he looked solemnly and told himself that he had something important to discuss, and he had a premonition that something big was going to happen.

He nodded with a heavy heart and followed Zhou Jia to the study room in the main courtyard. Li Yu was already waiting in the study room.

After the three of them sat down, Zhou Jia asked Li Yu to tell Chu Sihai what she had discovered. Chu Sihai stood up in shock: "I'm still wondering why there are so many more guards at the city gate. Mr. Zhou, General Shen he······"

"Please be patient, Mr. General Shen. General Shen has already taken people to Luoji Mountain. There is another important matter." Zhou Jia raised her hand to stop Chu Sihai from speaking. "You and I went to the government office one after the other. Madam has just brought her up the mountain." She told me about finding Qi Bing while hunting, and also said that she found two jars of pickles made with her recipe in the two Qi Bing’s bags.”

"Is there something wrong with the pickles?" Chu Sihai asked a little strangely.

"The big shopkeeper doesn't know. My wife made the pickles when she was in Xishan. It was on the pipeline... Later, she sold the recipe to Wei Wencheng, the big shopkeeper of the Wei family. My wife stopped making the pickles. Think about Wei. When the pickles from the family are in the hands of Qi Jun Yingwei, think about Sihai Qianzhuang again, do you feel that the Wei family and Sihaiqianzhuang have the same purpose?"

After hearing this, Chu Sihai suddenly realized: "That's right! Your Majesty can have Sihai Bank, and Qi State can also have the Wei family business. The Wei family has shops in the prefectures of Dayong, and Sihai Bank is in Daqi..." Chu Sihai said more and more The more frightened he became, the more he stood up suddenly before he finished speaking, and cupped his hands towards the two of them: "Mr. Zhou, thank you very much, Mrs. Li, and say goodbye to Sihai."

Zhou Jia stood at the door and watched Chu Sihai walk away quickly, then turned and returned to the study. Li Yu looked at Zhou Jia and sighed: "If you are not the magistrate of Dayong, we will take people to find a secret place to live in seclusion. No more Take care of these bad things."

Zhou Jia stepped forward to hug Li Yu and comforted him: "Yu'er, no matter where people go, there will be disputes. Don't worry too much. Da Yong is not defenseless against Da Qi."

"I know," Li Yu leaned against Zhou Jia and smelled the smell of sweat on his body, and pushed him away with a smile, "Okay, you go wash up and eat something first, and then we'll talk."

Zhou Jia shook his head: "You will have someone send it to Qianya later. I have to go to Qianya to get the fish scale book to compare and see how many shops the Wei family has in Yunzhou City and other counties."

Li Yu nodded: "Okay! Business is more important."

Chu Sihai hurried back to Sihai Bank. Chu Feng greeted him. Chu Sihai looked at him and ordered: "Send people out quickly to check the Wei family's shop."

"Follow your orders." Chu Feng didn't know why he wanted to investigate the Wei family, but he quickly arranged the matter and turned around to find Chu Sihai who wanted to say something about Li Yu.

Chu Sihai said to him: "I already know what you want to say. You sent news that the Tian family and the grain store owner colluded to control the new rice seeds and sold them to Qi people's caravan. How could the Tian family know in advance that there would be When did the grain seeds arrive? When did you start luring the grain shop owner’s son to gamble?”

Chu Sihai asked a series of questions that confused Chu Feng, and he quickly bowed and apologized: "Big shopkeeper, please punish this subordinate. It is my dereliction of duty."

Chu Sihai looked at him and thought that he had just learned from the Zhou family that there was a problem with the Wei family, and then thought of what happened to the Tian family and the grain store. He had also agreed to the arrangements made by the shopkeeper of the grain store, so he could not blame him entirely.

"I'll talk about your dereliction of duty later. Let's go and interrogate Tian Kun again. Ask him who told him the news?"

Chu Feng felt gloomy in his heart, thinking that it must be all done by the Wei family? Only they are so well-informed, so our rice seeds may have fallen into Daqi's hands a long time ago.

When the two of them arrived at the dungeon, Tian Kun, who was as fat as a white-faced steamed bun, had lost weight. His originally arrogant look turned into a submissive one.

When Chu Sihai asked, Zhu Tong Dao Douzi told the whole story: "While I was drinking in the garden, I happened to hear shopkeeper Wei and several merchants discussing how good the rice seeds in their farm were and how high their yields were. He also said that the Fenggu Grain Store in Yunzhou would soon have new grains on the market. The merchant from Daqi was also introduced to me by Shopkeeper Wei. Shopkeeper Chu, I was really wronged! I just thought I could sell two more coins. That’s all, I never thought about doing anything to be sorry for Dayong.”

Chu Feng looked at him and asked, "Tian Kun, do you know that the son of the shopkeeper of the grain store is addicted to gambling?"

Tian Kun looked at Chu Feng with a confused look on his face, "How do I know if he is betting? I asked his father to buy the grain."

"I don't know if someone who is greedy has been used as a weapon." Chu Sihai and Chu Feng turned around and left.

Seeing the two people turn around and leave after asking, Tian Kun shouted anxiously: "Shopkeeper Chu, I was set up by that bastard Wei Wenzhong. Please spare me this time, Shopkeeper Chu..."

The two of them ignored Tian Kun's shouts and quickly left the dungeon.

Chu Sihai said to Chu Feng: "I'm going to spread the news. You send more people to quietly surround the Wei family's shop and don't let anyone go. You go to the Yamen and ask Mr. Zhou to bring more people, and Wei's shop is taken away immediately." My shop is closed down."

After Chu Feng arranged for Yun Yi to check the drawings, he discovered that the Wei family actually had about twenty shops in Yunzhou, and they were involved in all walks of life, including inns, furs, cloth shops, and grocery stores... The two of them He quickly copied it down and marked the location. Everyone in Sihai Bank mobilized and quietly rushed towards Wei's shop on the street.

The weather is getting colder, and the Wei family's fur shop on Dongcheng Street is doing a booming business. People are coming and going in the shop, including fur traders and hunters. The miscellaneous shop on West Street is deserted. Many customers come occasionally... ··

Chu Feng rushed to the government office. Zhou Jiazheng took Wu Tingxian and several scribes to check the Wei family's shops. They found that Dayong County, which is closer to Daqi, has the Wei family's fur shops. Zhou Jia felt that some of the hunters were Their secret agent.

Seeing Chu Feng coming over anxiously, Zhou Jia guessed what they had found and quickly returned to the custody room with him.

"Brother Zhou, please quickly bring the Wei family's shop and the family members of the shopkeepers back to the government office. People who leave the city at the city gate must check their household certificates, and those who act suspiciously will not be allowed to go."

Zhou Jia immediately responded: "Okay, I'll send someone right away. I'll notify the government officials guarding the city gate. You have to hurry up and inform the generals who are guarding the city."

The two of them took action separately. Zhou Jia sent out government servants and government soldiers one by one according to the locations marked by Chu Feng. Everyone rushed towards the shops marked by Chu Feng. Fortunately, there were officers and soldiers patrolling the streets every day these days, so there was no problem. There was so much panic. The Wei family's fur shop was the largest and most visited. The officers and soldiers who suddenly arrived surrounded the shop.
