Chapter 768: Thinking

The morning sun stubbornly filtered through the screen, inch by inch, driving away the darkness in the room. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThere was movement in the blue gauze cupboard, and the three intertwined and entangled white bodies squirmed with the light.

"Third brother, people are still sleepy~" Ning Xin, who was sleepy beside her, muttered.

Looking sideways, the girl in the crook of her arm is as bright as a flower, her phoenix eyes seem to be closed, and her cherry lips are smiling happily and contentedly, as if the afterglow of last night has not yet dissipated. A slender jade leg intimately wrapped around the tiger's waist, and the delicate body of youth clinged to Chang Wei's skin and exuded warm moisture.

His gaze involuntarily slid down her long and graceful neck, landing on the towering snow hills, and the snow-white ** red did not show any traces of being ravaged overnight.

"This girl's physique is a mile in a million!" Chang Wei was amazed in his heart, and couldn't help but think of last night's carnival.

The eyes fell on the two pieces of white silk next to the pillow, and the snow-white shark silk was all red, and one of them was dyed red for the most part, and he inhaled it deeply, and there was still a faint bloody smell in the daughter's fat fragrance.

While thinking wildly, he gently pulled his arm out from under the heads of the two women.

"Let's sleep with others for a while~" Ning Xin was half asleep and half awake, begging in a tired voice. Although Qingluan was also awakened by my movements, she was too ashamed to open her eyes, but the pink arms and jade legs wrapped around Chang Wei revealed the same thoughts as Ning Xin.

"The new official has three fires, how can the prime minister have to pretend in the first few days!" After coaxing sweetly, he finally said that the two girls continued to lie down and rest, Chang Wei got up and got out of bed by himself, and couldn't help but miss the leisurely time of the previous few days.

Xiaohong and several maids were waiting in the outhouse, and even breakfast had been prepared, and when they saw Chang Wei coming out, they hurriedly said that the young master was blessed, but no one dared to ask Ning Xin.

However, Chang Wei asked them to make some bird's nest shark fin soup to replenish qi and blood while eating, and told them not to disturb their master, so he hurriedly left Ningcui Pavilion and went to the inner hall to visit Jiang Yunzhu and his son-in-law.

Jiang Yunzhu only congratulated casually, Chang Wei hadn't figured out what he was congratulating on, he was already in a hurry to ask about the Imperial Maiden's Technique, and even the real estate in Shen Lizi Hutong was left behind by him.

Chang Wei picked some simple mental methods and told him about them, and the old man was happy to experiment.

Waiting for Jiang Yunzhu to leave, Chong Yao showed an ambiguous smile: "Don't be sorry, I'm going back to Denglai in a few days, Ning Xin will entrust it to you, but, don't let her be a bride with a big belly!"

In the dimly lit archives of the Criminal Department, Chang Wei buried his head in the yellowed case file. Jiang Chi didn't read a few pages, but he was already impatient, pushed the case file, wiped the sweat on his face, and complained: "What the hell is this place for people to stay! Besides, we are doing it on the emperor's errand, and it is a matter of meaning to get some ice water, and this Zhao Mingfu is also fucking slamming the door!"

He unscrupulously counted Zhao Jian, the secretary of the criminal department, and it was no wonder that he was upset, although it was the end of spring, but the warehouse was impermeable, like a steamer, and he was fat and slender, although the pu fan shook loudly, but the sweat still quickly penetrated his close-fitting clothes, and patches of sweat stains could be seen everywhere on the front and back of the official robe.

"Little Marquis, why don't you help me buy a house?"

The archives of the Criminal Department are as vast as a sea of smoke, and without Deng Qi's guidance, it is really difficult to sort out a clue for a while; and Deng Qi is like a former military governor who is born out of thin air, and old friends naturally come to congratulate him, and people who do not know the details have even broken through the threshold of Deng Mansion, and the former military government is naturally indispensable to congratulate guests.

Although the former military government and the criminal department are only separated by a wall, it is unlikely that they will see him in the past two days. And Chang Wei got two beauties, and his mind was not on the file of the Criminal Department, so he secretly planned to simply use the past few days to settle down 'Li Long's family first.

"The big sun, I don't want to suffer that sin!" Jiang Chi replied, but as if he remembered something, he hesitated for a moment, approached Chang Wei, and asked who bought the house.

"Of course it's Li Long, Chang Wei is a dignified Duke of Qin, so I don't need you to worry about it?"

Jiang Chi suddenly became interested, and said with a smile: "Li Longke is very different, maybe it's another opportunity to make a fortune. Well, I'll go with you! But first, I'll have to find someone to find out what is going on. Remember that Mama Jiang last night, she is a famous Ma Boliu in the capital, a big family in the Xicheng area, there is nothing she doesn't know. 」

"If you want to get rich, the little marquis will be disappointed. Chang Wei smiled slightly: "The renovation of the four alleys such as Shen Lizi and Eight Thousand Zhang, the amount of money required is huge, and all of them need to be paid in advance, even if Li Long has money, he can't afford to take care of it." However, as the saying goes, "the goods of the Quartet are not produced in Yan, but gathered in Yan", and if you want to make a fortune in the capital, there are many opportunities. 」

"It's as profitable as Shen Lizi!" Jiang Chi's face was full of remorse.

When I asked, I found out that that day, the Jiang family brothers used more than 20,000 taels of silver to collect nearly 10% of the real estate and houses in the three alleys such as 8,000 zhang, of which Jiang Chi himself accounted for half of them. But by the time Jiang Chi's daughter-in-law went with her relatives again yesterday, the land price in Sanhutong had soared by sixty percent, and there was no market for it.

"You're fucking embarrassed to ask why you rose so fast! The faster you rise, the more you earn?" Jiang Chi said as he walked out: "Chase Money, Tongshenghe, and Baoyuefang made a move, and they made it clear that they were optimistic about that corner of the land, and as soon as the news spread, it didn't overturn it all at once. 」

"Of course I would like the price of land to go up, but it should be a controlled progression that is better for us. 」

Seeing Jiang Chi's confused face, Chang Wei explained: "If the four alleys of Shen Lizi want to become a gathering place for ministers like Fengsheng Hutong, the mansion built by it is bound to be a mansion compound, whether it is the materials or the craftsmen, it should be the best choice, take the craftsmen as an example, although the number of craftsmen in the capital exceeds 10,000, but how many masters can there be? Everyone swarmed to grab the land, and naturally they will rush to grab the craftsmen, in order to complete the early profit, the remuneration of the craftsmen is bound to skyrocket, and the same is true for the materials used to build the house. And having so many more luxury homes at once will inevitably drag down the price. 」

Jiang Chi came to his senses at this time, stopped, scratched his head and said worriedly, "That'...... What should I do?"

"Actually, I don't care, I'm not short of money to spend anyway. It's just that since you have done this business, you naturally want to maximize the benefits. Chang Wei pondered for a while before he had an idea in his heart, and smiled slightly: "Two days ago, I accidentally passed by the Manifestation Palace and found that it was dilapidated, even inferior to the ordinary Taoist temples in Jiangnan......

"How is it possible!" Jiang Chi immediately retorted: "I also went to it two days ago, the three major halls have only been repaired, and the atmosphere is solemn, how can it be said that it is dilapidated? 」

"Little Hou Ye can get to the point!" Chang Wei praised casually, knowing in his heart that Jiang Chi would naturally not run to the Manifestation Palace by himself, so he secretly raised Xiao Lianyun's status in the heart of the Empress Dowager: "As the saying goes, people want clothes, and Buddhas want gold, and this face can not be ambiguous. 」

"How many taels of silver can you have to build a gate and view the wall?" Jiang Chi gradually pondered a little bit of the taste.

"Naturally, there won't be much silver, otherwise the ministers will have to talk nonsense again. However, the Manifestation Palace is a royal view, and it is natural to recruit master craftsmen to ......."

"Tsk, no wonder you can become the Duke of Qin Guo, it's really a ghost idea!" Jiang Chi suddenly realized, excitedly punched Chang Wei, glanced at him again, and said regretfully: "It's a pity that you have already got married, otherwise I would have to marry my sister to you!"

Before he finished speaking, a low laugh came from the gate of the courtyard: "What is it about Lord Guogong that makes the little marquis so happy that he wants to marry the county lord to him?"

Then I saw a thin old man walk in, it was one of Chang Wei's partners who had never been able to see, Lu Meigong, the director of the Henan Division of the Criminal Department.

He saw Chang Wei slightly stunned, and immediately smiled: "Lord Guogong really knows how to be an official!"

Obviously, he noticed that Chang Wei was dressed up quite differently from the past.

"Damn, this kid is talented and golden, he looks fucking fascinated to death, and he is the grandfather of the country who leans towards the government and the opposition, and he still needs to make me happy?

"Alas, I don't know who sued in front of the emperor, saying that the remnants of the Okita Group, Hebquan, appeared in the capital, and the emperor ordered the Criminal Department to investigate and deal with it, and the errand fell on my old Lu's head. Little Marquis, you may not know that Okita's gang of Japanese coquents was jointly exterminated by Lord Guogong and Master Jingwei Fu Zhouzi, and saying that Hebo Quan is in Beijing, isn't it looking for something for Guogong and Master Fu?"

"Mei Gong is too worried. This was originally to be told to the emperor. The Okita group was not destroyed, and the emperor knew about it for a long time. In fact, there are not many Okita henchmen left, and I am afraid that he will disappear into the vast sea of people, and Hebquan's appearance in the capital is just right to follow the vine and catch them all!"

"I see. Lu Meigong nodded, and then asked, "Does Lord Guogong know the whereabouts of Heboquan?"

"I can't say exactly where, but there is one person who should know very well, Hong Qifa, the owner of Xicheng Tongda Car Dealership. 」

"Hong Qifa?" Lu Meigong was slightly stunned: "Isn't he the brother-in-law of Liao Xi, the commander of the Xicheng Soldiers and Horses?

"Heber Quan used a different identity. Although Chang Wei wanted to frame Liao Xihong Qifa with this, Lu Meigong seemed to recognize the two, and he didn't know if there was a relationship between them, so his words became vague.

"Liao Xi and I just know each other. Lu Meigong could see at a glance what Chang Wei was worried about, but this was exactly what Chang Wei wanted, Chang Wei didn't want to leave a conspirator figure in the hearts of these old guys who had become elites now, it should be a matter for the future.

Hearing him smile, he explained: "The Henan Division is in charge of the Dongcheng Terracotta Division, so naturally it has some connection with the West City, not to mention that I have been the deputy commander of the Terracotta Division in Beicheng for a period of time!"

He pondered for a while, and then said: "Since you suspect Hong Qifa, then Liao Xi can't relax, but the rank of the Soldiers and Horses Division is humble but powerful, although Liao Xi is only a sixth grade, if you want to investigate him, you have to order Lord Shangshu, unless you ......" He rolled his gaze: "Little Marquis, you are also the deputy Qianhu of the Jinyi Guard, right? You might as well use the Jinyi Guard in your hand!"

This time, Chang Wei secretly praised from the bottom of his heart, Jiang is still old and spicy! Jinyiwei is not restricted by the Three Law Divisions, let alone the detective Liao Xi, even if he is arrested directly, as long as he can get a confession, few people dare to cry out for him.

But Chang Wei remembered that Lu Meigong was a hundred households in brocade clothes, why did he ask Jiang Chi for help? Do you want Jiang Chi to go to this pool of muddy water, or has his position in brocade clothes been dismissed?

Jiang Chi waved his hand: "No! The emperor has repeatedly warned me not to use chicken feathers as arrows. Besides, I don't have a single one under my mother's brocade clothes, so I can't just stare at Liao Xi's eight lambs by myself!"

"Where can I make the little marquis suffer and suffer! I'm just because Lord Zhao has not been in the capital for a few days, and I'm afraid that something will go wrong on Heberquan's side, so I'm just anxious for a while. Lu Mei saw that the wind was making the rudder, but he gave Chang Wei a look.

Jiang Chi was so cautious was a bit unexpected by Chang Wei, but soon Chang Wei was relieved, Jiang Chi was shrewd, knowing how he spent all his time drinking and even oppressing the good, the emperor would not blame him, but once he was involved in the government, it was better for him to stay hidden at the moment.

"If you don't startle the snake, Hebkuquan won't leave the capital anytime soon. 」

Lu Meigong heard that Chang Wei gave him a step, so he took the opportunity to say that it was better to wait for Lord Zhao to come back and then discuss with him, and after a few small talks, he left.

When Lu Meigong walked away, Jiang Chi asked about He Boquan and Hong Qi, and Chang Wei briefly explained the ins and outs.

Jiang Chi's eyes rolled a few times, and he muttered, "Car dealership, is the car dealership very profitable?"

"I don't know what happened in the capital, but I know Wang Chen, the owner of the largest car dealer in Jiangnan, who not only supports nearly 500 brothers, but also makes a net profit of about 100,000 taels a year. 」

"So much?" Jiang Chi's eyes lit up, and Chang Wei took advantage of the situation and said, "In fact, making money is secondary, the so-called car and ship shops are all important ways to obtain information. 」

"Fuck, I really admire you, obviously you want to make Liao happy and angry, but you say it so high-sounding!" Jiang Chi suddenly laughed: "However, if this silver is not earned, wouldn't it be a disappointing God's kindness? Why don't you call your friend, let's partner to open a car dealership in the capital! Of course, we must first destroy Tongda!"

"Dongshan Mingjian!" Chang Wei gave a thumbs up: "Wang Chen is an idle cloud and wild crane, so he may not be interested in this, but if you borrow a few familiar hands from him, he will always give him this face." It's just that how to deal with Tongda and Liao Xi has to think about it. In fact, Lord Lu's words gave me a wake-up call, use Jinyiwei. It's a pity that I was trained by the emperor, and I need to keep a low profile recently, so it's inconvenient to make a move, but I remember that Lu Meigong seems to be a hundred households in brocade clothes......

"He said that he was old, and he resigned after the New Year, and the emperor agreed. Jiang Chi said casually.

Hearing the strings and songs, Deng Qi and Lu Meigong resigned one after another, thinking that they all had insight into the emperor's intentions, and it was not just because of the new policy that talented people came out of the country.

Now it seems that Lu Meigong will soon resign from the responsibility of surveying the list of wicked people, who will replace him, Chang Wei will have to take precautions.

Of course, He Chong is the best candidate, but he has a very close relationship with himself, but it is not easy to get this position, and Chang Wei also needs such a friend to help him guard Yingtian's base camp; Su Yao and Zhai Hua are too old; Senior Brother Ji Yuanheng Ji is too square; Li Qishan is a showman, but it is not very reassuring, and it may be safer to put it under his nose......

More than a dozen acquaintances went through it in their minds, but they didn't find a one they liked, Chang Wei even regretted it, he should have persuaded Tang Jinyi to become a man in the first place.

"Lu Meigong's strength can't be borrowed, but don't forget that Li Long is also a hundred households in brocade clothes! Although repairing the Manifestation Palace is a matter of the Ministry of Industry, it is customary to send lieutenants and brocade overseers, because there is not much oil and water in it, and few people are willing to take this errand. Once the emperor agrees, he can take the opportunity to act to find the fault of accessibility. 」

Jiang Chi said with a smug face.

After making a plan, I want to put the new car shop in Fanzi Hutong, and Li Long's house is naturally suitable near it, which is in line with Chang Wei's wishes. The two made an appointment to meet at Yipinlou in the afternoon, and Chang Wei went to Jinyiwei to report first and received a waist card.

Ma Yuan was extremely fast, and in the first day of his life, he had already found two houses for Chang Wei, both of which were some distance away from the Guogong Mansion.

Fortunately, Chang Wei didn't want Li Long to be too conspicuous in the capital, so he chose a place relatively close to the yamen of the Criminal Department and bought it. Then, he got rid of the stalker and visited Ning Bai'er's home.

"The Purple King is a family of old and young, and no one can pretend to be a younger sibling. However, I have a close sister in the department who is the right person, and she has always wanted to burst into the fire, but no one dares to help. Senior brother, you must also know how filthy the sect master is, if you dislike her......" Having said that, Ning Bai'er's eyes were full of longing.

"There's nothing disliked, it's just ...... What's her last name?" I pondered.

The woman in the Teaching Workshop Division is actually an official prostitute, unless she is a manager like Ning Bai'er, it is inevitable to lose her body, but this is not the key to Chang Wei's hesitation.

The vast majority of the teachers in the sect are criminals, listening to Ning Bai'er's tone, this woman's identity must be quite tricky, and among the criminal ministers in recent years, the Donglin Party is the majority, and even if the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee want to redeem their families, they must also think about their future.

"Her name is Qi Xuan, and she is Qi Ning's eldest daughter, who just turned 17 this year. Although this woman's appearance is not very good, but the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all excellent, and she is a well-known talented woman in the Teaching Workshop Division. Ning Bai'er was quite relieved when she heard this, and glanced at Chang Wei approvingly.

Sure enough, Chang Wei had a headache, Qi Xuan may not have much difficulty playing Lu Xin, but neither of her identities can be used, how can she be rescued without a trace?

What's more, she must have a grudge against Jinshang, in case she has any rebellion, it will really be a hot potato.

"Actually, the more obscure she is, the better. Chang Wei groaned.

Ning Bai'er didn't say anything, so that Chang Wei understood that she really wanted to save Qi Xuan, remembering that it was rumored that Qi Ning was good at the art in the room, maybe Senior Sister Er had a dewy marriage with him in order to practice her stunt.

"It's okay to save her, but I don't know where to start!" Seeing that Ning Bai'er's eyes showed a little pleading, Chang Wei's heart suddenly softened, for the sake of this cheap senior sister, let's take a gamble!

"If you have that, it's done!" Ning Bai'er suddenly smiled, but then sighed slightly, and there was a little regret in her voice: "Actually, it was originally prepared for Bai Lang, but it's a pity that Yilun is too domineering!"

She paused for a moment and asked, "Does the junior brother have any big opponents in the court?"
