"It's raining heavily!"

The light rain that began in the middle of the night finally evolved into the second heavy rain in the capital since the beginning of summer, and the heavy rain brought cool and refreshing to people at the same time, but also turned people into lazy insects who got up late.

"Xianggong, don't go to the Criminal Department today. The delicate beauty in her arms said lazily. On the other side, a plump and delicate body was clinging to Chang Wei, and the towering snow mound pressed his arms, as if he didn't want him to get up.

"I really want to be lazy for a day. I sighed in my heart, Li Long is a down-and-out scoundrel, and he has no specific errands to do in Jinyiwei, so he can naturally lie in bed and have fun with his beloved woman, but now he is reshaping Chang Wei's stable and honest image, Jinyiwei can not go, but the criminal department has to do it for a day.

took out the rouge array of lotus arms and pink legs, told the two girls to sleep a little longer, and came to the front yard along the verandah.

When passing by the east wing, the house was heard the sound of He Wen and He Fei reading, after all, the sisters were young, and they didn't know much about the pain of life and death, for them, their mother seemed to be just a long trip, and the new father-in-law loved them very much, so the smile had climbed back on their little faces.

However, the white peony is accustomed to the cold and warmth of the world, and is very pitiful to this pair of poor sisters, and the requirements are also extremely strict.

Wan Jin and his wife had already prepared the meal, and the couple gave up the newly purchased house to their son, and the two simply lived in the outer courtyard. Wanjin is sleek, Wanshi is cautious, and he serves quite decently one mile and one away.

"Sir, you are so enthusiastic about business. Hearing that Chang Wei was going out, Wan Jin flattered, and asked if he wanted to pass the sedan chair, Chang Wei waved his hand, and he immediately asked the maid to send a robe, a hat and an oil umbrella.

The heavy rain cut off the line of sight, and the pocket alley became more and more deep and long, and it seemed that Chang Wei was the only one walking alone in the alley where there were rarely seen people, and suddenly saw a pedestrian in the same dress passing by, Chang Wei couldn't help but glance back curiously.

It seems like...... Where have you seen it?

Looking at the strong back that quickly disappeared in the rain and mist, Chang Wei faintly felt a familiar feeling in his heart, and his footsteps suddenly stopped.

Who is this man?

I couldn't remember where I had seen it for a while, but I unexpectedly remembered Yan Ruyu: "If only she were here." 」

Almost inseparable, her unforgettable eyes seemed to be Chang Wei's own eyes. I am used to relying on her, and over time, although my skills are becoming more and more refined, and my six senses are becoming more and more keen, but my ability to remember people has not grown much.

turned around and followed, until he reached the bottom of the alley, and saw that the man knocked on the door of the Tang family opposite, and after knocking twice, the old housekeeper opened the door, and the man flashed into the house.

"It turned out to be a guest of the Tang family. Chang Wei was relieved. With such heavy rain, the knock on the door was easily drowned in the wind and rain, and the old housekeeper opened the door so quickly, obviously the man's visit had already been scheduled.

Reflexively walked towards the entrance of the alley, but suddenly remembered what Jiang Chi had said in the Tang family, and his heart suddenly moved, there were so many wealthy merchants in the capital, it was not strange that Jiang Chi had not heard of Tang Mian, but now that he thought about it, his expression seemed a little unnatural, but he ignored it at the time.

"Getting Qingluan and Ning Xin, even if it's me, I can't help but get a little carried away!" Knowing the crux of the matter, Chang Wei laughed at himself in his heart: "Let Jiang Chi underestimate it, just look down on him, and the right should be a shake for him." 」

But there is something wrong with this Tang Mian, which makes Jiang Chi suspicious, and he has to check it carefully.

The criminal department was so deserted that there was almost no one to be seen. For the day after tomorrow, Shangshu Zhao Jian ordered to cooperate with Shuntianfu to carry out a dragnet search for thieves in the capital and its surroundings, half of the people were temporarily transferred out, and the rest also found reasons to go home when they saw this weather, but Jiang Chi unexpectedly appeared in the archive warehouse.

"Daring Fearless, do you think this rain will wash away him one or two more alleys today?"

"Even if it is washed away, I'm afraid the land won't be able to be bought, Dongshan, believe it or not, at the moment, there are already people in Shuntianfu, and I'm afraid the sales contract will not be so easy to pass!"

"You mean...... Zhang Yanling?" Jiang Chi Xiaoyuan's eyes narrowed, and he sneered, "This guy is really capable of doing such a lack of morality that harms others and himself!"

I don't know if Jiang Chi has found out that Chang Wei knows his true face of great wisdom and foolishness, or if he has the intention to show goodwill, he rarely deliberately pretends to be stupid in front of him now, on the contrary, he lets Chang Wei teach him wit and agility from time to time.

"Wouldn't you like to see it?"

When he arrived at Shuntian Mansion, Chang Wei knew that Jiang Chi knew his opponent far better than him. Chang Wei thought that he would meet Zhang Yanling's subordinates, but he didn't want to be in charge in person.

However, in Chang Wei's heart, he had already been privately sentenced to death by the emperor because of Empress Zhang, and the current scenery was just a castle in the air. Although Chang Wei very much hopes that he can persist for three and five years, so as to distract the attention of the Jiang family for himself until everything is done, but seeing his high-flying and domineering appearance that he does not know whether he is alive or dead, Chang Wei knows in his heart that he has too much hope for him, and he will suffer in the end.

Fortunately, the purpose of coming to Shuntianfu was not to befriend this Jianchang Marquis, and he didn't know that Chang Wei was actually Li Long who bought Shen Lizi Hutong. I only met him with a courtesy, so I used the excuse of visiting the government office and walked around in the office.

The government office, like the criminal department, can't see a few people, and most of the officials who stayed behind are some tasteless clerks, seeing Chang Wei wearing civilian clothes and having an excellent temperament, they can't figure out his identity, and they don't dare to stop him.

When he arrived in front of a room in the West Wing, he was about to push the door in, but the door suddenly opened, and a person hurriedly walked out of it, and he didn't look at it, so he hurriedly stretched out the oil umbrella in his hand and hit Chang Wei's umbrella.

"Who the fuck ......" The man just scolded, but suddenly saw those awe-inspiring and inviolable eyes, and the following words were immediately swallowed back, and the oil umbrella was raised, revealing a round and rich face, but it was a middle-aged official in his forties, and he laughed and said, "The lower official is reckless......

"Don't be formal, are you the general judge of Shuntianfu or the magistrate?" Seeing that there was a heron embroidered on the patch on his chest, Chang Wei interrupted him and asked, thinking that he had finally met someone in charge.

"Xiaguan Shuntianfu pushes the official Guo Huai, the locust of the locust tree. 」

"Coincidentally, I was looking for you, this official Chang Wei. 」

The shadow of the famous tree of the person, so far, there is no need to add any official title embellishment in front of the word "Wei" in daily life.

When Guo Huai heard this, a rumbling awe flashed on his face: [I have seen Qin Guogong. ]

Immediately confused, he said, "I don't know what happened to Grandpa Guo?"

The slight change on his face did not escape Chang Wei's eyes, and his heart moved slightly, this person's surname is Guo, could it be that Lord Guo mentioned by Liao Xi on Yipinlou?

"This official wants to read the household register of Shuntianfu, and I ask Lord Guo to cooperate. 」

Guo Huai only hesitated slightly, and then led Chang Wei into the treasury of the government quite enthusiastically.

The household registration of nearly 200,000 residents of Shuntian Mansion is almost filled with two large warehouses, although the surname Tang is small, there are more than 1,000 households, and when the book surnamed Tang is found from the thick pile of account books, I saw that it was covered with dust, and the paper was a little yellow, Chang Wei sighed secretly, the household department audited the household registration every ten years, looking at the appearance of this account book, there are not ten years, but there should be seven or eight years, fortunately, Tang Mian's household registration data is still there.

Wanli moved from Hangzhou to the capital in the ninth year...... Hangzhou is rich in tea, and there are a lot of tea merchants, but they are already in their forties, but they have left their hometowns and moved to live in order to make money?

One wife, three concubines, two sons and three daughters...... Hey, this guy is also a romantic character. Living in the pocket alley, open the tea number "forget worries"...... Reduced to the situation of selling houses, I think the business is not going so well.

「...... His tea is really high-quality!"

Although everything on the file seemed normal, Chang Wei still carefully recalled the scene at that time, and when he remembered the high-grade West Lake Longjing full of teeth, he was suspicious and went to most of it, but he secretly sighed in his heart, although tea is good tea, but not everyone has such superb business methods as Song Tingzhi, but it is a pity that Song Tingzhi ......

Thinking of Song, Chang Wei found a booklet surnamed Song, but he didn't find his name, and he went to check the data of Hebo Quan's incarnation of Baiqu, but found nothing.

Chang Wei couldn't help but groan, the avatar used by Hebo Quan may have started to be forged after the household registration census, but remember that Song Tingzhi said that he was from Kyoto, could it be that he had already begun to make up lies at that time?

I had the heart to check Hong Qifa's data again, but out of the corner of my eye, I saw that Guo Huai was paying attention to his actions from time to time, and I was afraid that he had a close relationship with Liao Xi, so I had to temporarily dismiss this idea.

He pretended to look through the files of a few people he didn't know before leaving the storeroom.

In the lobby, Jiang Chi and Zhang Yanling were talking and laughing, but they couldn't smell a trace of gunpowder, and when they saw Chang Wei coming in, Jiang Chi smiled and said goodbye to Zhang Yanling.

When he was far away, he spat out fiercely and sneered: "Damn, this guy dares to criticize my aunt in front of me, and he doesn't know what to say to others!

He stood still, pointed to an extraordinary business name across the street and said: "Fearless, do you see, that is the general number of Jigu Zhai, which is said to be a three-legged jewelry giant with Changfeng Zhai and Ji Yuezhai, and the Zhang brothers rarely say that they have thirty percent of its shares. 」

Chang Wei smiled bitterly and said: "Dongshan, Changfengzhai may be shorter and longer than Jigu Zhai in the south, and even be able to suppress it, but in the four provinces of Zhili, Shandong, Shanxi, and Henan, Jigu Zhai No. 1 has been dominant for a long time, and the semicolons are all over the commercial areas, and it is not easy to defeat it! 」

"My family doesn't have that much money. 」

After listening to Jiang Chi's explanation, Chang Wei understood that among the three brothers of the Jiang family, Jiang Chi's father Jiang Yunmei was the most square and poor, and his two elder brothers' family assets were comparable, and they were both rich.

However, Jiang Yunzhu only gave birth to a daughter, and although his son-in-law Chongyao was a marquis, he had to guard the emperor's order and not leave Denglai without permission, so it was useless, and the object of cooperation was naturally Jiang Yunsong, and among the three sons under his knees, only Jiang Kui was the most suitable.

"No wonder you're in a hurry to make money. Chang Wei laughed at him casually, but he understood in his heart that Jiang Yunmei's poverty was just relative to his two elder brothers, looking at Jiang Chi's pomp, his family's financial resources were probably not under his mother's Huang family, and it was enough to join hands with Changfengzhai to enter the jewelry industry in the capital.

It's just that the emperor can't be too favoritist to his cousins, and he has already entrusted Jiang Chi with the important task, so it's not good to let him come out again, it just so happens that Jiang Kui has a big affair with Li Long, and giving him such an errand is just one stone.

"Dongshan, of course I'm happy to be able to bring down Jigu Zhai, but I have never interfered in the affairs of Changfengzhai, and with Jiang Kui, it is even more inconvenient for me to intervene. You are the eldest of the younger generation of the Jiang family, and Fu Ruizhai has to ask you to take care of it more. 」

First gave Jiang Chi a high hat, Chang Wei continued: "If you want to make money, there are many doorways, not to mention anything else, just talk about the seven things to open the door, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar tea, everything is business, such as tea......

"When it comes to tea, I'm a big connoisseur. Jiang Chi's color was a little pale, and he took over the conversation and said proudly: "There are more than a dozen kinds of tea popular in Beijing, among which Yazhou Thundering and Suzhou Tianchi are the first of my popularity, the tea I drank at Tang Mian's house a few days ago Okay, let me tell you, that is Yazhou Thundering......

Chang Wei interjected, didn't you drink West Lake Longjing that day?

Jiang Chi explained, saying that the two are similar, only extremely subtle, not a master of this way, it is difficult to distinguish, but when it comes to it, he groaned, and only said after a while: "Being able to build two mansions in Pocket Hutong, this Tang Mian should be a famous figure among the tea merchants, but I don't have any impression of his name. 」

"There are always people who keep a low profile, just like Chang Wei now. 」

said so, but in his heart he made up his mind to visit Tang Mian, and the two of them returned to the punishment department in the heavy rain.

Seeing that the dark and heavy clouds showed no signs of dissipating, Jiang Chi asked with a bitter face as he walked, "Dauntless, this ghost weather is cool but cool, what can you do?"

"Dreaming of Gao Tang on a rainy day, reading forbidden books on a snowy night, this weather is the most suitable for sleeping with a little girl in your arms. It's a pity, Dongshan wants to be happy for the rest of your life, so you have to endure this month first. 」

"I know, Wushan Yunyu is definitely not good, it should always be okay to take a nap!" Jiang Chi said with a lewd smile.

Jiang Chi had to accompany him by himself, as if he was afraid that Chang Wei would do something that worried him when he was free, so Chang Wei had to agree.

At noon in the Criminal Department, because the deity Chang Wei could not accompany Jiang Chi to the land of fireworks, he made an appointment to meet the place, and Chang Wei first went back to his home in Ma Ningzi Hutong - Yuan Keli gave it a name, but it was called Yinlu.

I changed my outfit and stayed for a while, seeing that no one was paying attention, before I quietly went out and quickly disappeared into the rain.

Thinking that this thief-like life would have to endure for many days, Chang Wei sighed secretly. Fortunately, there are two houses next door to the east side of the hidden house that have been purchased by Senior Sister Toning at a high price, and when the secret passage and secret room are dug up, you can use this to hide your whereabouts.

I originally wanted to go to Ningfu to visit my senior sister by the way, but I saw Deng Qi getting down from the sedan chair from a distance, probably because there was no entertainment on a rainy day, just to soothe my sister's lovesickness.

I remember how chic and dignified he was when I first saw Deng Qi, but after returning to Beijing, he became like a different person, and I couldn't help but feel gloomy in my heart.

"Ziling, Ziling......"

Turning from Yingzi Hutong into Fanzi Hutong, Fang wanted to go east to Cuiyun Pavilion, which is as famous as Baihualou, but he heard someone calling, turned around and looked, only to see Jiang Chi's big head poking out of the pane of the Lan family's tea shop, and the fat hand waved at Chang Wei and shouted: "Ziling, why did you come from Yingzi Hutong? 」

Without waiting for Lan Ya's father to come out and call her, Chang Wei had already walked briskly to the east. At the mouth of the alley, a curvaceous girl in plain clothes holding an oil umbrella can be faintly seen, looking south.

Calling her, she ran towards her happily, the wild footsteps splashed countless splashes, the flying skirt was better like a white lotus blooming in the rain, and soon, a pretty face with red fluttering appeared in front of Chang Wei's eyes.

"Big brother, your words don't count, you said you would come to see me in two days, but now it's been ten days!" said the girl as if pouring beans.

The girl's laughter suddenly came from the surrounding shops, and someone was vaguely heard whispering, "Miss Lan is going to recruit a little son-in-law." 」

"Who dares to laugh, see if I don't pull her mouth!" the girl shouted at the little sisters in shame, but she turned her head, but her face was more restrained, and even her eyes were a little awe-inspiring: "I heard...... Big brother has become the official of Jinyiwei?" Obviously, after rejoicing, she realized that Chang Wei's identity had changed.

Fan Hutong can't hide things, and Yunxian's death is a good topic of conversation in the restaurant teahouse, Li Long, one of the protagonists, is naturally concerned, and without how to think about it, Lan Yatou can guess that he is the Li Long who ransomed Yunxian.

"It's just a hundred households in brocade clothes, and it's not a big official. Brushing away the raindrops on the girl's sleeves, the exposed half of the arms are also glowing with honey-colored healthy luster in the gloomy rainy day, Chang Wei was in a trance, and the delicate body of the concubine shook in front of my eyes one by one, and the whole body was as white as jade, and no one could see that there were traces of martial arts - no wind and sun, every day brocade clothes and jade food, people have become delicate and delicate.

Chang Wei's intimate actions blushed the girl's face, and even her voice suddenly became softer: "I said the same too, but my father said that you are a terrible person, big brother......

Chang Wei couldn't help but wonder that Chang Wei, who had nothing to do a year ago, thought so rightly, but now he has already understood that it is a goal that requires a considerable price to achieve.

In fact, people are always like this, after climbing one mountain, they can realize the height of another mountain.

"You're really a flower willow leader, when that little girl heard me mention you, her eyes lit up, as if the wolf cub saw the food in the middle of the night. Jiang Chi chattered and glared dissatisfiedly at the Lan girl who was pretending to wipe the table at the counter.

Jiang Yan, who was beside him, explained with a smile that Jiang Chi was full of praise when he heard Chang Wei mention the Lan family's Bingzhen Hexian, so he had a whim to come here to try it.

And Lan Yatou was as warm as ever, but because of the heavy rain, there were no other customers in the store, so Jiang Chi, who was missing the reference, misunderstood the girl, and the joke was a little heavier, so she offended the girl, she didn't know Jiang Chi's identity, and suddenly turned her face.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Jiang Chi mentioned Chang Weilai, the girl's attitude immediately changed, and she was extremely diligent, but she inquired about his news everywhere, and when she knew that Chang Wei was going to meet Jiang Chi, she immediately left the two of them and ran to the mouth of the alley to greet them.

"What's the big deal about this? You're still a celebrity in Fan Alley, and you're making a fuss about a little thing, and it's a joke. Asked Lan Yatou to send two more bowls of chilled river fresh, Chang Wei smiled and tested Jiang Yan: "Eldest sister, don't put any incense on Dongshan, how can you find him anywhere?"

Jiang Chi and Jiang Yanju are masters of acting, and even Chang Wei can't see their relationship clearly.

However, Jiang Chiming regarded Jiang Yan as a merry girl and flirted at will, but secretly took care of her, thinking that he understood as well as Chang Wei that this young woman who went from east to west was a rare genius informant.

"My lord, you have wronged the slave family, but the slave family has specially come to block the adult and report to you!" Jiang Yan smiled mysteriously.
