Chapter 1534: Being too clever is the end of life(2/2)
Jin An always looked calm, neither happy nor angry, making it difficult for outsiders to figure out what he was thinking.
In fact, with Jin'an's Yang Nian, he could see the source of the problem as soon as he entered the kitchen. He could see from the beginning that the 17 or 18-year-old waiter who was kneeling on the ground and crying bitterly had a strange horoscope.
This person's forehead has black hair, which represents the heaven of his parents, and is the sign of being without a father or mother. People who have no father or mother are less likely to be rich and have a lot of poverty throughout their lives. However, this person is seen with gold in his wealth and silk palace, but this little bit of gold is looming.
It means that you are not born with wealth and honor. You should have just made a windfall recently. There is evil in the gold, and a black energy is forcing towards the palace of life. If the palace of life shows signs of collapse, it means that the source of this windfall is not right, and it will also lead to an unlucky death.
Looking at the bulging veins on his ears, we can clearly see that this is due to insufficient yang energy, stasis of qi and blood due to cold and dampness, and a weak spleen. He must have seen something he shouldn't have seen in the past few days, and he has been in a state of panic.
Jin An did not reveal all this at the beginning, but watched the old Taoist priest and the people from the Criminal Investigation Department tossing around. He wanted to train the Criminal Investigation Department.
There is always a banquet in the world. He will leave the Criminal Investigation Department one day. Now he can help the Criminal Investigation Department as much as he can.
After all, the other party was just a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old. In addition, he had been frightened by changes in the past few days and lived in fear every day. His mind was at its most vulnerable. Fatty Li could easily interrogate all the inside information with a few casual threats.
This person, Li Yan, was not a native of the capital, but could barely be regarded as a distant relative of Li Dajin, whom he had nothing to do with for eight lifetimes.
A few years ago, Li Dajin went back to his hometown to pay homage to his ancestors' graves. He saw that this man was very pitiful because he had no father or mother, and his surname was Li. He felt pity for him, so he brought him to the capital to help him and provide him with food.
Perhaps because he lost his family early and his mind matured early, Li Yan's cleverness made Li Dajin love talents and cultivate his followers, so he transferred Li Yan from the front hall to the accounting office to serve as an apprentice to Mr. Accountant.
, help him with some unimportant business.
Because of manpower shortage, he just handed over the kitchen purchasing work to Li Yan last year.
It stands to reason that Li Dajin treated Li Yan well. As long as people's hearts are fleshy, they should know how to repay kindness. Moreover, Li Yan is only responsible for simple purchases and not responsible for specific financial transactions. There is no chance to get kickbacks from him.
But Li Dajin underestimated the temptation of the prosperous and luxurious capital to a person who had been accustomed to a life of poverty since childhood.
Li Yan did act very clever, but it was precisely because he was so clever that he gradually became more thoughtful.
The rich man behind Li Dajin was quite powerful in the capital and in the spice shop. Someone took a fancy to Li Dajin's carriage, which was rarely checked in the spice shop, so he bribed Li Yan with gold and silver and secretly helped them transport it secretly.
Some shameful things.
The items he was asked to smuggle a few times at first were normal. Although Li Yan did not see it with his own eyes, he knew in his heart that the other party was a second-rate dealer who was engaged in reselling Nanyang spices.
The huge profits in the spice shop are almost monopolized by a few companies, so there are always some stinking ditch rats who are not afraid of death and keep an eye on this huge piece of fat.
He doesn't need to help the other party smuggle every day, usually two or three times a month, so Li Dajin never notices anything unusual. And the other party is also generous, giving him a handful of money every time.
It's so easy to make money just by making money from side projects.
Li Yan originally thought that he didn't have to worry about anything, he just had to help people smuggle things honestly, don't look at things he shouldn't, and don't ask too many questions when he shouldn't, so there wouldn't be any trouble for him.
But there is a saying that goes, "Too much cleverness is the end of life."
A person is not afraid of not being smart, but he is afraid of being too smart.
The first few times seemed to be just to test whether his mouth was tight, but then the trouble began. In addition to smuggling and reselling spices, the other party actually smuggled in living people. On several occasions, he smuggled people wanted by the court and hid in the spice shop.
However, the reward for smuggling a living person is also high, and you can get two coins at a time.
Money can make the world go round.
Seeing that the other party gave him enough money, Li Yan chose to remain silent and pretended not to know anything. He planned to quit his job at the inn after a few more jobs, then leave the capital, return to his hometown and open a restaurant. This life was considered worthwhile.
However.
He still underestimated how much trouble he was in.
