Chapter 90 Finding the target
Zhang Mu took the letter and read it. It only mentioned a tea merchant in Chuzhou Prefecture. This family’s surname is Wen and is a large Wenzhou family.
The letter said that he had some contact with their family a few years ago, but after the Yan family moved to the main business, they almost stopped trading.
The smuggled goods are mainly made of silk, ceramics, etc., and the ones they exchanged for are white silver.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang ordered that gold and silver should not be allowed to be circulated and treasure money should be used for forcibly, silver is precious metal after all, and it is not allowed to be used on the surface. Many merchants still use silver and copper coins to trade in secret.
"Let's go to the Yuelai Restaurant. We have to move." Zhang Mu said.
At that moment, Yan Li and Zhang Mu packed up and went out. After a while, they arrived at the back door of Yuelai Restaurant. Most of the Jinyiwei had returned to their posts in the past few days, and Han Fangshan and Manghu were waiting here.
When he arrived at the wing room, Han Fangshan was playing chess with Tao Xingchang. When he saw Zhang Mu, he hurriedly saluted Zhang Mu. Zhang Mu waved his hand and sat down and said, "Don't you know what the Wen family in Wenzhou knows?"
Tao Xingchang hurriedly took out a brocade box from the closet, and after opening it, it was densely packed with words. After reading for a long time, he said, "I found it. The Wen family is also a big family in Wenzhou, with countless fertile land, and the family's industries are spread all over Wenzhou and the two prefectures."
Speaking of this, Tao Xingchang whispered: "I heard that their family has a very good relationship with the King of Tan over the years. When the Wen family married and picked up their wife last year, the King of Tan also sent a gift. Although the things are not worth much, they are full of face."
"King of Tan?" Zhang Mu pondered when he heard this.
Before, because he wanted to secretly fight Han Fangshan, he once taught a lesson from a student of Du Feng. His father Du Chun was the magistrate of Dongyang County. His daughter married the Tan Wang family and asked, "Does Du Chun, the magistrate of Dongyang County have anything to do with the Wen family?"
"My wise man, the magistrate Du of Dongyang County married the eldest daughter of the Wen family. The two families had a very good relationship," Tao Xingchang explained.
"It's really Wu Qiao's book." Zhang Mu thought about it for a while, then looked up and said, "Han Baihu, I need a fake identity. As for the shop, I have already found the tooth in Jinhua. Is there any problem?"
"I don't know what identity the lord wants?" Han Fangshan asked.
"It's better to be a businessman from Nanjing. If some of the royal merchants have a better background, I have to find a way to connect with the Wen family. This time I might get it right, it's a big fish." Zhang Mu smiled coldly.
"We are doing our best, but we have to do business with the Wen family. What kind of stuff do we need? We can't make money by vain, and it doesn't look like it." Han Fangshan asked.
"You don't need to worry about this. My Zhang family's soap is now very popular. That businessman doesn't seem to get some? Besides, the candles I just developed are just in production. They are cheap and affordable. There is no takeaway, so I don't have to worry about them not taking the bait. But you have to make it here seamlessly, otherwise my hard work will be in vain." Zhang Mu said.
"Don't worry, the younger one will go to Hangzhou immediately and do this for you personally to ensure that the situation is seamless." Han Fangshan said with his fists.
"Okay, let's divide our troops into two groups, Tao Xiaoqi, you can set off to Wenzhou Prefecture and inquire about the men, women, young and old of the Wen family, even a dog from his family. After Lord Han comes back, I will go to Jinhua Prefecture to start trading with this fake identity. Then we will meet in Wenzhou." Zhang Mu said.
"As for the orders," Tao Xingchang said immediately.
Zhang Mu then ordered some details, then turned around and got into the Yuelai Restaurant, got in the car, and asked sternly: "Will we go home?"
"No, I'll go to the jewelry shop first." Zhang Mu smiled.
“What are you going there to do?”
"Oh, someone knocked over the jealous jar." Zhang Mu smiled bitterly. When he heard this sternly, he suddenly realized and drove the car forward.

Yan Su sat alone in the pavilion in the back garden, looking depressed.
The dogtail grass in her hand had been slapped by her. In her handsome and savage eyes, she felt wronged, sad, sad, and a little annoyed.
Under the bridge of his high nose, he pouted his mouth, hugged his knees, and buried his head in it, feeling depressed.
"Die Zhang Mu, don't let me see you, otherwise I will have to tear you apart." I thought angrily, but I thought of Zhang Mu sacrificing himself to save him, and my heart felt warm again.
But when he thought of Zhang Mu giving the bracelet of the imperial gift to Qiaoya, he felt a fire of ignorance in his heart.
Moreover, during the period when she lived in the Zhang Mansion, she always saw Zhang Mu and Qiaoer Ni together. At first, she didn't feel anything, and she didn't know when it started. When she saw this scene, she felt a little unhappy.
Unnaturally, he touched the broken water flow in his hand, and a faint murderous aura spread out from the inside out.
The girl's feelings are always poetry, like rain, fog and wind.
Zhang Mu held a brocade box in his hand and walked quietly towards her.
Looking at the person who is always careless and now curled up like a injured kitten, Zhang Mu felt a little sad.
"Brother Yan, why are you here alone?" Zhang Mu walked over and said embarrassedly.
Yan Su heard Zhang Mu's voice and got up and left. Zhang Mu didn't call her, and sat indifferently on the chair and said slowly: "I just went to the jewelry shop to see a great Bu Yao. I'll give it to Qiao'er later."
When Yan Su heard this, he didn't know that there was an unknown fire there. He stopped and turned around and drank, "If you like to send it, you will send it to anyone you want. What's the matter for me?"
"I heard Brother Yan's tone, I seemed to be angry. Did Brother Yan see that Qiaoer and I were too close and jealous?" Zhang Mu said slowly.
Yan Su was even more angry when Zhang Mu was so angry. He pulled out the water and came towards Zhang Mu in a fierce manner. Zhang Mu was not afraid of her, so he stood up and stared at her and smiled, "What? But I was so worried about it? I knew you like Qiaoer. When did you plan to hide it from me?"
Yan Su was still full of anger, but when he heard this, he was stunned.
He looked down at himself, and said with a voice in men's clothing, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. It turned out that this fool didn't realize that he was really a daughter, so he said angrily: "You only like Qiao'er."
"That's right, I do like Qiao'er, that girl, loved by everyone. What's wrong with me in love with her brother and sister?" Zhang Mu said with an innocent look on his face.
"You only have brother-sister feelings for her?" Yan Suzhi asked.
"What do Brother Yan think? Qiao'er is not yet an adult, innocent, Brother Yan, it's not me who said you. You'll wait for two years, right?" Zhang Mu sneered.
"Stop talking nonsense, who said I like Qiao'er?" Yan Su was relieved after hearing this, and then said awkwardly.
"That's strange, why are you angry? I thought you were jealous. Brother Yan, do you like me, right? Sorry, I don't like that tone. Brother Yan should be clean." Zhang Mu said again.
Yan Su was amused and cried, and immediately retorted: "Don't be so beautiful. Even if I like men, I won't like you."
"Oh, then I feel much more relieved. Haha, a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. I'll do it first, and I'll give it to you first." After that, Zhang Mu put down Bu Yao and turned around and left.
Yan Su knew that he and Qiao'er had nothing, and he was not angry. He was making trouble for a while and couldn't help laughing and crying. Seeing that he was leaving, he picked up the box and opened it. There was a gilded Bu Yao inlaid with gems inside. It was very beautiful.
Holding it in his hand, his heart was filled with sweetness that could not be melted, but suddenly Yan Su thought again: "He thought I was a man, so why did he send me Bu Yao to?"
Unable to help, a pair of Danfeng eyes were murderous, and he said to himself: "Okay, Zhang Muzhi, you can tease me, right?" He chased after me and shouted: "Zhang Mu, come back for me."
