Qiao Yu seemed to really just want to find someone to accompany him to pay homage to his "deceased wife". After going down the mountain, he didn't say anything about it. He thanked Jiang Bin and went back to his room. Poor Jiang Bin had no sleep because of it.

The next day, when they were about to leave, Jiang Bin got up, dressed neatly, and bid farewell to his parents with Qiao Yu.Qiao's mother's eyes were red, and she didn't care about Jiang Bin's presence. She dragged her son and gave instructions for a long time, hoping that Qiao Yu would come back soon during the Chinese New Year.Father Qiao always put on the airs of the head of the family, and only said a few words of the principle that the people are the most important and the king is the least, and nothing else.

Qiao Yu paid his respects again, and got into the carriage with Jiang Bin surrounded by relatives, friends and neighbors.On the way back, Qiao Yu seemed to be deliberately slowing down his pace. He didn't know whether he wanted to relax or accommodate Jiang Bin, who was full of worries.Bypass Poyang Lake and enter Taoshu Town, rest here, and go on the road tomorrow.

The two invested in a farmhouse. Early the next morning, they prepared enough dry food and traveled for half a day. They rested outside Nanjing for a while, but they heard a few Confucian scholars resting in the teahouse: "Mr. Yangming was relegated to Guizhou dragon because of Liu Jin." Chang Yicheng, but now he has been promoted to be the censor of the capital of Youqian, the governor of Nangan and Jiangxi... the story is about this moment and that moment!"

"Mr. Yangming is highly respected, so he shouldn't be buried, but what is the emperor's intention to promote him at this time?"

"Mingli said it was to suppress bandits, but who knows?"

Jiang Bin listened on the sidelines, remembering that some time ago Qiao Yu met Wang Shouren's father, Wang Hua, in private, and Wang Xun received a secret edict... Emperor Zhengde has always been far-sighted. Back then, he summoned Wang Shouren to "discuss the Tao" all night, but he didn't use it. Now Fang is promoted , but it has something to do with Jiangxi...

Just as he was thinking, Qiao Yu beside him was about to get up to pay the bill, but Jiang Bin rushed ahead of him, so the matter was put on hold.

Everyone in Qiao Yu's house had returned from visiting relatives, and Wang Wei saw Jiang Bin wagging his tail vigorously.Jiang Bin picked him up, held him in his arms and stroked him, then fed him the cakes he bought along the way.Qiao Yu leaned over and touched Zhan Wei's head. After a while, Manager Hu whispered a few words, and Qiao Yu changed his clothes again and hurried out.

Jiang Bin thought about what he had heard in the teahouse before, and the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, so he took the opportunity to enter Qiao Yu's study.Sure enough, he found a piece of letter paper in an inconspicuous album on the bookshelf. Although the letter was not signed, Jiang Bin could recognize the handwriting.

Shufen writes a long letter in the letter, but Jiang Bin is terrified when he reads it.It turns out that the private trade between the military and the Mongols of the westbound capital guards was just one of them, and there were other matters such as maritime trade with the Japanese and Portuguese.Part of the proceeds went to those young officials in Nanjing who were unwilling to be subordinated to others, and the other part flowed to the capital through the coastal areas and entered the pockets of many dignitaries.The rest of the silver was hidden in several tea shops in Beijing and Nanjing that supplied the "No. [-] Restaurant in the World", and the owner of this tea shop was the tea merchant that Xu Lin had recommended to Jiang Bin back then—— Lu Xie.

The encounter with Lu Xie was too coincidental, Jiang Bin didn't doubt it, but why did Lu Xie painstakingly manage his contacts and take such a risk to amass money?Was Xu Lin's introduction of Lu Xie part of the game?

Thinking like this, he didn't notice the movement behind him until he heard the sound of footsteps, and then he turned his head.

Qiao Yu closed the door, and Jiang Bin looked at each other for a moment in the dark, Fang stepped forward to take the album in his hand, and smoothed the curled corners of the pages.

"Master Wangjiang, don't get involved in this matter." After a long time, it was just this sentence.

"Lu Xie and the others are as rich as an enemy country, where will the silver go, Qiao Shangshu just doesn't know?"

Qiao Yu was silent.
