When I returned to the front yard, I saw that dozens of servants from Chai Mansion had gathered in the courtyard, men, women and children, tall, short, fat and thin, most of them were worried and worried about the future.

There were also a few women who were still good-looking, wiping their tears, crying, Li Yan guessed that these people should be Chai Fu's concubines, they knew that they were about to be sold into the kiln, so they would cry so sadly.

And Yu Hou's attention was on those scattered treasures, he picked up a blue vase with a frown, looked up and down a few times, slammed it on the ground, and said angrily:

"Fuck, all this shit? Why is he ranked third on the list of prosperous merchants? How does this make Ben Hou account for the official family? ”

Li Yan walked over and glanced at it, it was indeed pitiful, only a dozen boxes of silver, two or three boxes of treasures and jewelry, and antique calligraphy and paintings were also very inferior, even Li Yan could see that they were not valuable objects.

But he couldn't follow what Yu Hou said, that might tear down the house to find the treasure house, and thought about it:

"Yu Hou doesn't know that businessmen don't have much savings, and the money is pressed on the goods, so it's good to have so much liquidity."

Yu Hou glanced back at Li Yan and said in disbelief: "Really? ”

"Of course it's true, every state capital in the Great Song Dynasty has shops with Chai Fu, operating all kinds of trading, and there are dozens of shops in Kyoto alone, so they naturally need a lot of money to stock up."

Li Yan paused, lowered his voice and said, "Xia Guan has a good idea. ”

"What's the idea?"

"Monetize! If you package and sell Chai Fu's business, won't you immediately have a lot of money? You've got a perfect job. ”

"What do you mean by packing?" Yu Hou wondered.

"It's to sell all the shops at once, so quickly and without a lot of chores."

Yu Hou immediately came to his senses, pointed at Li Yan and said, "You bad boy, don't think that Ben Hou is a military general, and his brain is not good." There are not many businessmen in Kyoto who can buy so many shops at once, and your mother-in-law, Yan Jiuniang, is the most powerful. Are you trying to make money out of it? ”

"Hey, Hou Yu has wronged the officials, this is completely for you to share your worries. Since Marquis Yu doesn't believe it, then the current official has not said that the lower official has a few heads and dares to play tricks under your nose. Li Yan laughed.

"Haha......" Yu Hou sat on the chair and looked up and laughed, and then beckoned to Li Yan.

Li Yan hurriedly attached his ears to it, and Yu Hou said softly: "Can it exceed two million taels?" ”

"Absolutely, not more." Li Yan swore solemnly.

"The extra ones will be sent to my house, understand?"

Li Yan smiled evilly, stood up and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, understood." ”

"You know what a fart, come here." Yu Hou said again: "Go at night, and then choose a few pretty ones from these girls and send them over." ”

Li Yan said twice, "No problem, this matter will be handed over to the subordinate officials, and I promise to satisfy you." ”

Yu Hou laughed, dusted off his hands, and said: "Ben Hou is going to hand over the official business, and the specific inventory work will be handed over to Master Li, but don't make a mistake, if you make the official family angry, you will bear the consequences!" ”

Li Yan smiled and saluted with his fists to send Yu Hou away.

The moment I got up, I couldn't help but curse in my heart: old thing!

Obviously, Yu Hou wants to eat and is afraid of burning his mouth, so let Li Yan take responsibility, just as he said when he left: bear the consequences!

Who loses?

Of course, it's you Li Yan who is responsible, the inventory work is handed over to you, and the right to sell is also handed over to you, if the loopholes are found by other yamen, Zhao Ji questioned, and the first person to be punished is Li Yan.

No one will blame him Yu Hou.

If it weren't for the property in the treasure house, Li Yanwan would not be this kind of scapegoat, but as the saying goes, wealth is in danger, and he is ready to give it a go.

Marquis Yu took all the soldiers away, leaving only about 20 Marquis Wuhou to guard the servants of the Chai Mansion, and he did this to make it more convenient for Li Yan to act.

Li Yan sat in his chair and fell into deep thought, thinking about how to do this thing perfectly.

The attention of everyone in the courtyard was focused on him, because without his orders, everyone did not know what to do. One by one, they stretched their heads and looked at this handsome young man who could sit on an equal footing with Yu Hou, and guessed Li Yan's identity in his heart.

Of course, there are also many people who know Li Yan, such as the big housekeeper of Chaifu, and the little maid who has only met Li Yan once, and was fascinated to the realm of "selflessness".

After thinking about it for a while, Li Yan felt that this matter still needed to be separated from the martial marquis and replaced with his own people.

He beckoned to a martial marquis, because Li Yan could see that this person's clothes were different from those of others, and he was obviously the commander of the martial marquis.

"What's it called?"

When the man approached, Li Yan saw that his right eye was disabled, an eyeball without pupils like a dead fish was turning back and forth in the eye socket, his face was vicious, a scar ran through the left and right sides of his face, and he wore a narrow blade short knife around his waist, about eight feet tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, which was quite evil.

"Xiaguan Wuhou Commander Zhang Dajing."

Li Yan sighed, got up and said, "You are the Zhang Dajing who has solved more than 1,000 cases in the ninth year of Wuhou and is known as the Five Yamas?" ”

"Does the adult still know so-and-so?" Zhang Dajing wondered.

"Not only do you know, the five-body cast that I simply admire, Kyoto can be able to stay closed at night, it can be said that it is all the credit of Commander Zhang. Just like the folk ballad, there is a sentence in it, "There is Zhang Shuai in Bianliang, the people have to sleep peacefully, as soon as Zhang Shuai arrives, all the thieves urine", what a compliment this is! ”

Li Yan spared no effort to praise a wave, and said in his heart: If I say I am happy to you, I can turn a blind eye, and I am also easy to do, and I don't waste anything when I speak, why not?

Sure enough, Zhang Dajing was praised a little carelessly, and said with a smile: "The adult has an overreputation, and his duty is where he is, so he doesn't dare to say anything." ”

"Modest, too modest." Li Yan shook his head regretfully, and smacked his tongue: "Zhang Shuai is a tiger, but it's a pity that he has served the imperial court for nine years, but he is still a martial artist who is not in the grade, and he really buries talents." This official is considered to have gotten acquainted with Zhang Shuai today, and he will definitely ask for credit for Zhang Shuai in front of the official family. ”

Zhang Dajing knelt down on one knee excitedly, raised his hands into fists above his head, and said loudly: "I am willing to serve the adults and serve the dogs and horses." ”

"Ouch, Zhang Shuai, hurry up." Li Yan hurriedly helped Zhang Dajing up, and said softly: "It's all for the official family, you don't need to thank me." There is one thing at the moment, if Zhang Shuai can do it well, he will have another bargaining chip for promotion. ”

Zhang Dajing immediately came to his senses, and a gleam flashed in his left eye, "Please make it clear." ”

"Chai Fu's death is strange, and this matter is being placed at the top of the official's desk, always paying attention, if Zhang Shuai can investigate the real cause of death, wouldn't he show his face in front of the official, if you let the old man remember your name Zhang Shuai, then there is no hope of being promoted?" Li Yan said sincerely.

Zhang Dajing nodded again and again, his excited hands had nowhere to place, and finally solemnly gave Li Yan a fist salute, and said, "Thank you for mentioning it, and the next official will do it." ”
