Zongwu: The Rise of the Little People

dusk.

Six doors.

"So now the only clue has been silenced!"

After listening to Zhao Xu and others' stories, Hua Manlou also felt helpless.

"I am not as skilled as others! Who could have thought that a great master would emerge in the end?"

Everyone agreed with Zhao Xu's words.

"It's not all in vain. At least we destroyed the Jile Building in one fell swoop, and the fake banknote incident has come to an end."

"The only difficulty is what exactly does the word 'money' mean?"

Lu Xiaofeng's words brought everyone back to this topic.

Everyone thought about it for a while, but couldn't come up with anything.

"Jiang Long, how is the search at Jile Tower and Yunjian Temple going?"

Zhuifeng's question brought Zhao Xu and the others back to their senses.

"Master Zhuifeng, the templates and tools used to make fake silver notes have been seized, but no stolen silver has been found."

No one present was surprised that the stolen silver could not be found.

"During this period of time, a lot of silver has been exchanged for fake silver notes. It is impossible for such a large amount of silver to be transported out of Suzhou without any news."

"Where would so much silver be hidden?"

Lu Xiaofeng's confusion was also the question shared by everyone present.

"A large amount of stolen silver is missing, the word 'money' in Lockheed Martin's hands, and the mastermind behind it."

The appearance of the Japanese and the master of swordsmanship made Zhao Xu guess that the power hidden behind the scenes might be related to Tiedan Shenhou.

When Zhao Xu thought of Tiedan Shenhou, he seemed to have thought of something and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The night is getting darker.

Suzhou, Hua Family Villa.

The six gates discussed but could not come to any conclusion.

Seeing that there was no progress, Zhao Xu, Hua Manlou and Lu Xiaofeng left the Six Gates and came to the Hua family villa.

It has to be said that the Hua family is worthy of being the largest real estate developer in the Ming Dynasty.

Just a villa in Suzhou is comparable to the mansions of many wealthy businessmen.

In the garden, three people were having a drink.

"Just now in the Six Gates, Brother Zhao seemed to have thought of something, but he didn't say it out loud!"

Zhao Xu didn't expect Lu Xiaofeng to be so observant, but fortunately he didn't want to hide it from the two of them.

"Brother Lu, you have such a keen eye for observation. You were able to detect even the smallest movement of Zhao."

Seeing that Zhao Xu had an idea but didn't say it clearly, Hua Manlou was happy but also a little worried.

"Brother Zhao didn't say it clearly in the Six Gates, but what are you worried about?"

Hua Manlou is worthy of being Hua Manlou, he always considers others.

"Yes, even the Grand Master has appeared today. I wonder how powerful the force behind this is!"

"In fact, it's best to end this case here. Although the Hua family will suffer losses if the stolen silver is not recovered, compared to the risks of continuing the investigation, these are nothing!"

Zhao Xu's words caused the two of them to think deeply.

This is the reality, not everything needs a truth.

Although this world has certain laws and moral constraints, it is still essentially a world where the strong prey on the weak.

No one knows what is hidden behind the door of truth.

If you open it and release a ferocious beast, you may end up suffering from it.

Hua Manlou came from a prominent family, so he agreed with Zhao Xu's opinion.

Lu Xiaofeng also agreed, but his pursuit of the truth was deep in his bones.

"I completely agree with what Brother Zhao said."

"But there are only three of us here, so please, Brother Zhao, satisfy my curiosity."

"Really want to know?"

Zhao Xu knew that Lu Xiaofeng would not be able to hold back, so he looked at Hua Manlou again, and seeing that he nodded, Zhao Xu decided to express some of his speculations.

"Well, I'll tell you."

"First of all, regarding the whereabouts of this batch of stolen silver, I wonder if you have ever heard of the saying 'the darkest place is under the lamp'."

Zhao Xu briefly mentioned the phrase "darkness beneath the lamp", and Lu Xiaofeng and the others immediately responded.

"Brother Zhao is saying that the money is in Datong Bank."

Hua Manlou seemed a little excited. He was shocked by his own inference.

"Yes, think about the word 'money' that Roma wrote before he died."

Zhao Xu paused for a moment before continuing, "The word 'money' has many meanings. It can mean a bank, stolen money, or even a person."

"one person?"

Zhao Xu's words made Lu Xiaofeng fall into thought.

"Could it be Boss Qian?"

Lu Xiaofeng's brain was quick and he figured out the answer so quickly.

"Yes, why did Luo Ma want to kill Boss Qian when he escaped from Yunjian Temple?"

"As long as you think about the whole case carefully, you will find that Boss Qian's position as the chief treasurer of Datong Bank in Suzhou is the key."

"He played an indispensable role in making the fake banknote case so big, and he also had another function that is often overlooked."

The Hua family is the major shareholder of the money house, so Hua Manlou is very familiar with its operating procedures.

“Storage of large amounts of gold and silver.”

"Not bad!"

"In Suzhou, if you want to deposit a large amount of money at Datong Bank, you must get the consent of the chief treasurer."

At this point, even Lu Xiaofeng had understood the entire process of the crime.

"Use fake silver notes to withdraw a large amount of real gold and silver from the Chase Bank, and then deposit the real gold and silver back to exchange for real silver notes."

"So, the power behind this is probably just trying to make a quick buck, not bankrupt Datong Bank. How smart!"

Lu Xiaofeng had to admit that it was a good job.

"Manager Qian and his men are probably scapegoats put forward by the person behind the scenes, and now they are dead and there is no evidence to prove their wrongdoing."

"In fact, we can also find out who has made large deposits during this period by going to the money houses, but these people should not be simple, and we cannot confirm that they are 'white gloves'."

"Datong Bank is based on reputation, so we can only accept the defeat."

After thinking everything through, Hua Manlou couldn't help but shook his head.

"Taxes in Jiangnan are the heaviest in the world, and Suzhou is an important city in Jiangnan. There must be many people who deposit large amounts of money here, and it is difficult to distinguish them."

"Apart from the mastermind, only Boss Qian and Luo Ma know about this, so the two of them will definitely die."

"My Hua family can only swallow this loss!"

After figuring everything out, the three of them stopped hesitating and continued to taste the wine.

This time, Zhao Xu had a clash with the secret forces of Tiedan Shenhou, and the result was not good.

The appearance of the Grand Master also made Zhao Xu wake up. He still has a big gap with the real strong ones and powerful forces.

Although the mastermind behind the scenes was not uncovered and the stolen silver was not found, the source of fake silver bills, Ji Le Lou, was destroyed, and the traitors in Liushenmen and Datong Bank were eliminated.

Although it is not perfect, it is acceptable. After all, there are very few perfect things in the world.

The Wind Chaser came quickly and left quickly.

Not long after he had sorted out the details of the case, he received a letter from Beijing.

Not daring to delay, after handing over the follow-up to Jiang Long, Zhui Feng rushed back to the capital without stopping. It was obvious that something big had happened in the capital.

Zhao Xu didn't gain anything special from this help, but he made two friends, Hua Manlou and Lu Xiaofeng, which made the trip worthwhile.

Hua Manlou and Lu Xiaofeng left shortly after the fake banknote case was over.

Hua Manlou wants to go home to report the case, but Lu Xiaofeng is a person who likes to be lively and meddlesome.
