Li Duan wondered, this matter can't just be left alone. Someone has to go out to inquire about it. It's just who to send. He has no good candidates for the time being.

Last time because of Wei Xiaoshan, the Zhuangzi of their family was picked up by the prefect of Tang, and the man who raised them ran away. Their family was also targeted by the squires and Pei family in Lin'an, and there was no way to recruit again. People, there are some unseen things at home that nobody does. Without the information from the past, many incidents have stopped.

How about some helpers?

Li Duanzheng thought carefully about the famous gangsters in Lin'an, and Lin Jue came.

He stood up immediately, and as he walked out to meet Lin Jue, he asked the young man who came to know, "Did Master Biao come alone or with whom?"

Lin Jue went back to Fujian this time to contact the Peng family. I don't know how things are going.

It's just that before the young man could speak, he ran into Lin Jue head-on, who was surrounded by several young men.

Lin Jue opened his face calmly, and when he saw Li Duan, he said bluntly without even saying a few words: "A Duan, we are talking in the study!"

Li Duan snorted in his heart, intuition that something went wrong.

His face sank involuntarily, and he waved his hand to the boy next to him.

The servants all retreated.

Lin Jue and Li Duan entered the study.

Li Duan didn't call a maid, and personally made Lin Jue tea.

Lin Jue irritably took off the cloak he was wearing, and threw it on the Luohan bed in the study, and said to Li Duan, "A Duan, it's not good! This time the elder of the Peng family came with me and said It was the Pei family who accidentally obtained a navigation map that could travel from Guangzhou to Da Shi. The Tao family in Guangzhou has already tried sailing, and the route is feasible..."

"What are you talking about?" Like a thunderbolt in the blue sky, Li Duan's hand shook, and the tea jar fell to the ground with a "slap". The best Biluochun was scattered on the ground. He turned around and looked at Lin with a dark face. Jue, "The Pei's family got a nautical map?"

He had always worried that there was a problem with the map, but he didn't expect that the map hadn't been clarified yet, and now something like this happened again!

Lin Jue looked at Li Duan and took a deep breath. Only then did he feel his flustered heart calmed down a little, and his thoughts became clear: "I quickly returned to Fujian and sent the paintings to Peng's house. Peng's family checked the paintings. I am very satisfied with the map. Then I followed what we had discussed before, without compensation. In the future, Peng's business will take this route, and we will have a share. It is the Eleventh Lord of the Peng's family who saw me. By the way, this time He also came with Master Peng's family. He agreed at the time. I thought, saying that there was no proof, and set up a letter as a basis. He wanted to set up a document with their family, and the Eleventh master also agreed.

"It just takes time to write the document, not to mention that I euphemistically stated that the document should be stamped with the Peng's family seal. I stayed at the Peng's house overnight. Early the next morning, the Eleventh Master personally took the draft. The clerk is discussing the details with me, who knows that the situation has changed after lunch.

"Master Peng's family met me personally and asked about the process of finding this painting. Of course I can't tell you about the Yu family and the Wei family. I just said that I found Lu Xin according to the clues they gave. I never missed Lu. The letter promised us to sell the painting to us. He drank too much alcohol and drowned. Lu Xin's relics fell into the hands of the Yu family. Afraid of getting the attention of the Pei family, we secretly persuaded the Lu family. I took back Lu Xin's relics and bought them from the Lu family for five hundred taels of silver."

Speaking of this, Lin Jue sweated on his forehead, and his voice became a little low. He continued: "Master Peng listened carefully. He didn't say anything at the time. He just asked me to pack my luggage and follow him to Lin'an City. As soon as I heard it, I was a little confused, and asked Master Peng what happened. Master Peng smiled and said that he was not familiar with Lin'an City, so let me show the way.

"Who am I? I followed my father to the north and south before learning to walk. What kind of people have never met, what kind of things have never been seen before. I knew something was wrong when I heard this, but I lived in the Peng family at the time. The house where I ate was Peng's food, and I was really afraid that they would kill me there silently. Pretending to find nothing, I followed the Peng's family out of the city overnight after packing up my things.

"I just found out on the way. It turned out that the Pei family didn't know where they got the map, which is the map that the Peng family wanted. The Pei family also advertised hero posts, and invited a lot of big money from various places to come to Lin'an for auctions. They said yes. Give this map to whoever has more money? The deposit for entering the door is two thousand taels of silver..."

So, the unfamiliar faces that have emerged in Lin'an these days are those rich and powerful people from all over the world?

Li Duan didn’t care about the tea sprinkled on the ground, his face was so gloomy that it was about to rain, he poured a glass of white water and handed it to Lin Jue, saying, “What does the Peng family mean? I doubt we even gave this painting to Pei's house?"

Lin Jue can be said to have never closed his eyes in the past few days, let alone eat and drink well.

He took a "gululu" drink from the teacup, and when he drank the teacup, he said, "The people of the Peng family didn't say it. But isn't it obvious? As soon as he entered Lin'an City, Master Peng asked me to come to you. He took the Eleventh Master into the guesthouse used by the Pei’s family to entertain the people who participated in the auction. He also told me that Eleventh Master would come to visit us tonight. I wondered, since the Pei’s family wants to sell this map , And figure out what the higher the price is, I will definitely take out a part of the map for those who come to participate in the auction to distinguish the true from the false. Peng Da Master moved into the Pei’s house as a bidder, mostly wanting to see the map and " Are the maps in "Songxi Fishing Hidden Map" the same."

How did things become like this?

Li Duan was very flustered.

But he and Lin Jue are both relatives and collaborators. There are some things that relatives can say, but the collaborators can't say anything. He couldn't show it in front of Lin Jue, otherwise the Li family and the Lin family would go down, and Lin Jue would feel that he was weak and would not obey their family as before.

"What are you afraid of?" He couldn't help but put on a calm face and said indifferently, "The clues of the painting were provided by the Peng family. We also sent the painting to the Peng family according to their family's intentions. After their family's verification, they will also It proved to be a real painting. Now that there is a mistake, what does it have to do with us? Visit us at night!" Li Duan snorted, "Then let them visit. I also want to ask them about the Peng family. What should I do? Didn’t I say that there is only one map of this map? Where did the map of Pei’s family come from? Things are scarce, we are stupid, and we won’t step on two boats. The jadeite was sold as cabbage."

Lin Jue was indeed a little flustered before, but now seeing Li Duan's confident appearance, he also calmed down.

He couldn't help but confessed: "I'm not afraid that the Peng family suspects that we have leaked the news?"

"If you want to talk about leaks, aren't they the Peng family suspected?" Li Duan said, and his confidence gradually increased. "They didn't find anyone else before they came to us? The Peng family is one of the best in Fujian. People, but the world is so big, there are Guangdong, Zhejiang, and Jiangsu. Their family can get the news of "Songxi Fishing Hidden Picture". Didn’t other people hear the news at all? This kind of thing, from There are more opportunities for them to spread the word, right?"

Lin Jue smiled bitterly.

That's what I said, but the Peng family had to admit that something went wrong on their side!

People are wealthy, so if they want to anger them, what can they do?

"Let's talk about it when I see Eleven at night!" Lin Jue said listlessly, "I hope that the map that Pei's family gets has nothing to do with us!"

Until now, I can only wait until the evening to meet with the Peng family.

On the Pei family's side, Pei Yan was idle.

When things came to an end, everything that should be arranged was arranged, and everything that should be paid attention to was also paid attention to, but it was all right.

A Ming brought in a small four-compartment box and squinted his eyes and smiled: "Master three, Yu's family brought peanut crisps over here. Can you taste it?"

Pei Yan opened the box, and besides the three snacks he usually likes to eat, there was also an unfamiliar crisp candy.

The malt-colored sugar is wrapped in white and fat peanuts. In addition to looking fresh, it also makes people feel appetite.

Pei Yan tasted one.

It has the sweetness of maltose and the crispness of peanuts.

Pei Yan gave a tsk.

Usually, the stuff in the sugar boiled in this way looks like it has been cooked. This peanut crisp is just like its sugar, and it is very crispy.

However, it would be better if there were more peanuts.

He subconsciously felt that this was something Miss Yu made.

"Then what is Miss Yu tossing about?" Pei Yan asked.

As soon as Hu Xing came back from the old house of the Yu family, he ran to him to show his credit. Of course, he also knew that the most suitable mountain forest in the Yu family was to grow peanuts.

He said: "They don't plan to grow peanuts, right? I saw that the sugar is not cheap to make. However, the peanuts wrapped in sugar are a bit cheaper than all sugar, and they should be sold. I'm afraid that it will take three years for a season of peanuts to be made into flaky candies. Then the peanuts in this peanut crisp will not taste good, and the sugar will not sell well, right?"

Although this is a bit poisonous, it is not without purpose.

A Ming had a good impression of Yu Tang, and when Pei Yan said that, he was a little worried about Yu Tang.

"I heard that this peanut cake was made by Miss Yu." He looked at Pei Yan a little nervously, and said, "However, I haven't heard that Miss Yu is going to sell this! Maybe she made this delicious unintentionally. Candies, would you like to have a taste? You have helped their family so much, they must be grateful to you!"

There is some truth to this.

Pei Yan let out a "um" and said, "Is Miss Yu making these peanut crisps recently?"

Since Pei Yan asked Yu Tang and Pei Man did not answer last time, the Pei family paid special attention to Yu Tang's whereabouts.

A Ming opened her mouth and came: "Ms. Yu hasn't gone out these days according to your instructions. She probably made this peanut cake at home. However, Ms. Yu once sent someone to inquire about the sale of candied fruit, and also inquired about the sale and purchase of the grocery store. The sale of charcoal."

The corners of Pei Yan's mouth twitched.

Why does it sound like a headless fly!

Can't she stop? Stay at home happily?
