Less owner?

Lin Hongyi looked at Zhang Youqian with a puzzled face, could it be that this Baiyunxuan is really your family's property?

I smiled and said, that must be, haven't you always wanted to marry a rich man, this son Zhang is young and golden, and he is the richest man in the capital, except for looking a little ugly, but there is no other problem.

Zhang Youqian's face is black, are you so boastful?

I had a sly smile on my face. Lin Hongyi suddenly said, I know, you two have colluded together, show me the acting, right? Zhang Youqian said anxiously, Miss Lin, no, actually, I really want to be friends with you.

Lin Hongyi snorted coldly and said you are a big liar! I said why are you still stunned, don't chase it yet, Zhang Youqian was about to go out, Lin Hongyi suddenly said, you, don't follow, I want to be quiet.

Zhang Youqian came back abruptly and asked, you kid is a love saint, help me to advise, how sure am I?

I said, "Who kind of love saint am I?"

Zhang Youqian said angrily, don't be cheap, Xu Ruonan and Xie Junyan are not one in a million women, sometimes I really envy you and want to beat you to death, and let you take advantage of any good things, but thinking about your money is not as much as mine, and your martial arts are not as good as mine, I am calm.

Martial arts are not as good as him?

Naturally, I was not convinced in my heart, but seeing the power of his palm, I haven't seen him for more than a month, and his martial arts have indeed grown a lot, so what adventures has he had recently? This kid has been so lucky in practicing martial arts that he has been so good that he has worshiped a famous teacher, and he has bought a bunch of elixirs with silver, and his martial arts progress is almost a day.

I asked him why his martial arts had suddenly improved by leaps and bounds. Zhang Youqian said, in terms of martial arts, once I get serious, even I am afraid. Well, I'm afraid. By the way, do you think Lin Hongyi will take a fancy to me?

I said that things are done by people, and the opportunities are all up to you. By the way, didn't you go to find the treasure of King Qi?

Zhang Youqian sighed, asked the shopkeeper to find an internal trick, changed some wine and food, and then told about going to King Qi's treasure with Chen Qingyang. In addition to the six gates, there are also several waves of forces on the rivers and lakes who are also trying their luck in Dezhou Mansion.

You don't know, how did I survive this month, the stinky woman of the jade-faced Rakshasa didn't have a good face for me along the way, just her stinky temper, no wonder she killed her husband, if it weren't for the lovely red-clothed sister along the way, I would have the heart to die......

I said stop, get to the point.

Zhang Youqian put away the joke and said with a serious face, I found a problem on this trip to Shandong, you help me advise.

What's the problem?

This time to find the treasure of King Qi was originally a top-secret operation, but I found that many forces had this treasure map in their hands.

Is there really a treasure?

Zhang Youqian took a sip of tea and said, although there are some gold and silver treasures in it, it is not enough to affect the overall situation, what is really interesting is the top-secret information of King Qi's rebellion back then, guess what I found?

I am not pleased, don't you want me to be a counselor?

Zhang Youqian continued, among these top-secret materials, I found some letterheads from the year of Zhu Kuaibo, the king of Qi, and our big shopkeeper. It is very likely that Lü Zhongyuan participated in the rebellion of King Qi that year.

I was shocked, what? How could it be?

Lu Zhongyuan made great contributions to quelling the rebellion of King Qi that year, and was promoted to the position of the chief catcher of the six gates. Zhang Youqian's news was a little too shocking, and I couldn't digest it for a while.

Zhang Youqian said again, this matter is better hidden, when the King of Qi rebelled, a number of masters were lost in the six doors, and it is unknown whether there is Lu Zhongyuan's means among them. Not only that, there were still many court officials in the court who were related to King Qi back then, but those evidences were taken away by Chen Qingyang. I guess someone deliberately leaked the secret of King Qi's treasure, if we hadn't taken the first step, I'm afraid things would have made a big fuss.

I secretly thought that if this was the case, these evidences would fall into the hands of Lu Zhongyuan, and of course he would be able to sit back and relax, but the rest of the people in the court might not be able to sleep. Taking a step back, Lu Zhongyuan destroyed this evidence, that's okay to say. Further, if he used these materials to blackmail those officials of the DPRK and China, it would be another scene.

It is no wonder that when the Dengwen Yuan and Jinyiwei jointly investigated the theft of tribute silver in Hejian Mansion, Chen Qingyang asked us to give false testimony and want to link the matter with the Xu and Yang parties, but later we insisted on disagreeing and it didn't work out. After coming back, Lu Zhongyuan didn't say a word about it as if nothing had happened.

I whispered, who else knows?

Zhang Youqian hurriedly took a step back and said, what's the matter, you want to kill people?

I said that you have watched too many Yagong fighting dramas, I just reminded you out of kindness. Zhang Youqian said, I can still distinguish the importance of this kind of thing, but it is too uncomfortable to hold it in my heart, so I will share it with you.

I said you're a good friend.

Zhang Youqian's words shocked me a little when I heard it. The credibility of his words is not low, and the old grandson said that the masters of the six doors were like clouds back then, and later many masters walked and died, which coincided with the time of King Qi's rebellion. In order to keep the secret, Lu Zhongyuan most likely killed someone who knew about it.

The thought of this makes my scalp tingle. I asked, what's next?

But a philosopher said that when you are at a loss, you might as well try to put it aside, and maybe one day you will have a harvest.

Which philosopher said?

Zhang Youqian smiled, it was this young master.

Although Zhang Youqian was extremely reluctant, he still gave me 20,000 taels of silver as my reward for matching him with Lin Hongyi. In the afternoon of the same day, I took this silver ticket to find Lu Zhongyuan.

Lu Zhongyuan was fiddling with phalaenopsis in the study, although it was a cold winter, this phalaenopsis was also open against time, and when he saw me come in, he said, what's the matter?

I said that I talked about the red-clothed head catcher in the morning, and I thought about it clearly, and asked the big shopkeeper to think about it too. As he spoke, he handed over the silver ticket.

Lu Zhongyuan laughed, the son can be taught, in fact, at the last deacon meeting, I proposed that you be promoted to the head catcher in red, and I was worried that you would not be able to do it, but I didn't expect that in just half a day, you showed extraordinary strength.

I said that it was all good for the big shopkeeper to train.

but in my heart I scolded him a hundred times.

At the six gates, the red-clad headhunter means that you have officially entered the middle level. In the six doors, the red-clothed head catcher is one hundred and twenty taels of silver a year, of course, this money is negligible, and becoming a middle-level person means that he has a little power in his hands, so he has a lot of opportunities to make money. This kind of opportunity has a more elegant name, which is called power rent-seeking. For example, a red-clothed catcher in charge of fire prevention in the six doors can make countless gold and silver a year by relying on fire prevention inspections of major shops and sects every year. It's no wonder that they, in order to become this red-clothed catcher, they must spend a lot of silver, and the money is spent, if they can't find a way to make money, they will be laughed at by their peers.

I want to be a red-clothed catcher, of course it's not for money, the disciples of the Holy Gate are never short of money, the reason why I want to be a red-clothed catcher is purely because Zhang Youqian has become a red-clothed catcher, not long ago, he used this matter to show off whenever he had the opportunity, I just fought for this breath.

Beijing, Xie Fu.

Xie Shiting is an old man in the court, a celebrity next to the emperor, and the god of wealth in the Ming Dynasty, any of the three identities are enough to make people salivate. So he celebrated his fiftieth birthday, and there was an endless stream of people who came to congratulate him on his birthday.

It's no wonder that since ancient times, people have liked to gather in places where power is concentrated. Xie Shiting, who celebrates his 50th birthday today, is in the prime of life, and in less than half a year, he has become a force to be reckoned with in the DPRK and China.

The people who came to celebrate his birthday were either rich or noble, including ministers of the DPRK and China, proud protégés, and envoys of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and Dongyi.

These envoys of Fanbang are almost all resident in the Ming Dynasty, and they naturally understand the rules of the Ming officialdom.

After all, Xie Shiting is the God of Wealth of the Ming Dynasty, and his attitude is directly related to whether these states will eat meat or soil in the next year.

However, Yang Menglong and Xu Yufu, who are the first and second assistants of the cabinet, are older and ranked before Xie Shiting, so they naturally will not attend this kind of birthday banquet, but they are also thoughtful and have sent congratulatory gifts from servants.

Now that the capital is still under martial law, Xie Shiting has violated the relevant regulations by holding a birthday banquet, but at this time, no one really cares about this kind of thing.

With my status, I definitely can't enter the birthday banquet, but when I found Xie Junyan, she said that she was very happy and sent someone to send an invitation to her. However, looking at the busy traffic at the gate of Xie Mansion, and then thinking about Hu Zongxian's door, it is really a heaven and an underground.

Some people say that Xie Shiting killed people with his words, and a few words could kill Hu Zongxian.

I have a good impression of Hu Zongxian, and the rumors deliberately slandered Hu Zongxian's reputation, which was obviously an organized and premeditated action. I've been baffling this for a long time, and today I'm going to find an opportunity to be alone with Xie Shiting to confirm those conjectures.

Because of Xie Junyan, Xie Shiting's attitude towards me was not friendly, and on several occasions he even had tensions. But I'm not afraid of him, he's an elder, and he doesn't have a direct stake in me, and I don't need to look at his face.

Xie Junyan knew that I was coming, and he was already waiting for me in the side room at the door, Brother Xie!

Xie Junyan wore a red dress and a white fox fur coat, which made her already fair-skinned look more bright and moving, and her long neck was like a swan, which made people look excited. I hurriedly stepped forward and said, Sister Junyan, what you are wearing today is so beautiful!

Xie Junyan's face turned red, and in full view of everyone and in the envy of the people around him, he took me into the Xie Mansion.

As soon as I entered the door, I heard a porter shouting, Hu Yan, the envoy of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, was incapable of bringing his nephew Wanyan cabbage to congratulate Scholar Xie on his birthday!

I feel a pang in my heart, it's really a narrow road.
