Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Secret Prison

Yingzhou Linyingshui, there was a feudal country in the Western Zhou Dynasty, Ruyin County was built in Qin, when the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal was not opened, it was also regarded as a north-south hub place, until now, its commerce and trade are also extremely developed, from Yingshui into Caishui can go directly to Bianjing.

The so-called "belt with long Huai, control Chen Cai, connect Sanwu in the east, and lead Jing Ru in the south; Liang Song Wu Chu Zhichong, Qilu Bianluo Road; Huaihai Inner Screen, Southeast Pivot".

Yingzhou Caoyun, from the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, occupies a place in the two Huai Caoyun networks.

King Qi's new policy officially abolished the fang city system, and some state capitals in Shandong Province have appeared in the annexed grass market, that is, the trading market and residences outside the city wall, making the urban population break through the scope of the city wall, however, in the event of a war, the people living in the annexed grass city will naturally be the biggest victims, but it is really better to live in the countryside at that time.

Yingzhou's Fukuocao City appeared earlier than Shandong Road, outside the east city of Yingzhou, close to Yingshui Wharf, has long been a commercial and residential area.

Lu Ning lived in this area, nominally, it was a two-story building on the street on the outer wall of a large household surnamed Hu, this small building was originally a shop, Lu Ning rented here, and his wife lived on the second floor, the first floor was still a shop, and it became a rouge gouache shop, and the wife of Wen Zhengxing was the proprietor, and it was run by her maidservant.

In Qi Lu, officials of the seventh rank and above and their families are strictly forbidden to do business, that is, at the level of a county magistrate, doing business is strictly prohibited, because the officials of the seventh rank and above have no problem maintaining a good life.

Relatives and businessmen need to report, and business taxpayers will be more stringent.

Eighth-grade and ninth-grade officials, their families can do business in industries that are not involved in the officials, and there are strict regulations on the principal, after all, some people want to live a more relaxed life, which is true, but don't think about industries with high risks and high profits.

For example, this Wenjia gouache shop sells bargains and road goods.

Of course, whether it is the so-called gouache shop, or Lu Ning's small building renting a large family, it is naturally an appearance.

This surname Hu Dahu, his son was originally an official in the capital, under the Song King Fan Xiang, it was found that he had been with the Song King's pseudo-Xiang Fan Qin correspondence, and then was imprisoned, Hu Dahu went to Beijing to carry out activities, but he committed the crime of bribery, and the amount was huge, the top capital crime, fortunately, Emperor Qi ascended the throne and granted amnesty, exempted the big family and his son from the death penalty, and returned part of the family property.

In fact, in secret, Hu Dahu was recruited into the secret supervision of the Secret Bureau because he had relatives in Yangzhou.

There are three eunuchs in the Secret Bureau, You Saburo on the left and Gan Erlang on the right, but You Saburo and Gan Erlang don't know that the Secret Bureau has set up a new secret supervisor to spy on the military intelligence of the rest of the countries, and the secret supervisor is Gao Mengcai, that is, the old eunuch that Lu Ning rescued from the Khitan, and now he is developing eyeliner everywhere for Lu Ning.

Gao Mengcai had already been Zhou Guo's inside line in the Khitan, and he read some books written by Lu Ning, and he was ordered by Lu Ning, in this era, he was an excellent spy leader.

He was ruthless, and under his coercion, Hu Dahu had to join the secret prison for the sake of several sons and their families.

In fact, there are already a lot of such eyeliners, such as the two Later Jin Niangniang of the Nie and Zhao families, who are now also in the secret prison.

Even the two of them went to Bianjing early, and soon became extremely famous prostitutes who sold their art and did not sell their bodies and colors.

Of course, if you meet an important minister who can really provide top-secret military information, it is natural that intelligence is the most important.

It's just that Lu Ning came to Bianjing at the right time and place, so they didn't play any role.

Now Nie's Zhao family is in this garden, the stage of playing, is when Hu Dahu went to Beijing, she accepted two famous prostitutes as concubines, after a while, Hu Dahu will be "raided" again because of his son's affairs, Hu Dahu will take Nie's Zhao family to flee to Yangzhou, the eastern capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty, to seek refuge with relatives, life is miserable, Nie's Zhao family will return to the old business.

When Hu Dahu arrives, he will gradually fade out, and there will be a secret eunuch to help him make the illusion of suicide, and then take him back to Qi Realm.

And if Hu Dahu behaves abnormally during the period, he will not end well.

Lu Ning was a little stunned when he looked at Gao Gonggong's plan, this was because some of the things he wrote were poisoned! That's not the case in this era, is it? Arrange the timeline so seamlessly? Question: Who's going to look into it?

But Grandpa Gao is so striving for perfection that it is not easy to pour cold water on him, and he also encouraged him a few words, which made Grandpa Gao so excited that his head almost crushed.

Now Hu Dahu is still in the capital, nominally, although he was amnesty, he still has to fight to get back some more family property, but in fact, he is being specially trained by the secret prison, and at the same time, he is also nominally laying the root of the second raid.

This Hu Dahu's villa now lives Hu Dahu's two concubines and many maidservants.

However, these maidservants are actually the thirty-six female shooters of Hongling, but they are all dressed up in casual clothes and will not go out.

In addition, there are large and small peaches and four knife maids, of course, today's four knife maids, they can also be called four musket maids, and the same as the size of the peach, the four knife maids Lu Ning also created a fire gun for them, although the range is only ten steps and twenty steps, but like the fire gun of the big and small peach, it is a wheel flint, which can be shot continuously, and it is very lethal at short range, of course, this kind of wheel fire gun that only Lu Ning can create and is particularly laborious, but it can't be built in large quantities, not to mention large quantities, just now six fire guns, If you use it often, Lu Ning is afraid that it will become a particularly busy after-sales service personnel.

Lu Ning and Gan's two nominal maidservants are two knife maids, one of whom has to sell gouache downstairs every day.

Lu Ning also felt that he wanted to be more realistic.

No, when he first arrived in Yingzhou to report, Yang Qian, who was a few days earlier than him, was very enthusiastic about him, naturally because both of them were elected officials under the new policy, and they came all the way to be officials.

This Professor Wen is even here to run a new school, which is the basis for the future selection of officials and officials of the entire Qi State, and is the top priority of the new policy of the Qi State, and Yang Qian is doubly enthusiastic about this new school official.

Including the residence of the new academic officer, Yang Qian was ready, and chose a clean courtyard, which was enough for Professor Wen's family to live, and the rent was very cheap.

Professor Wen has no concubines, and he is accompanied by only one wife and two maidservants, which have long been reported.

But when he heard that Professor Wen had rented a house before the report, and that it was a shop on the street of the rich family's villa in the prosperous place of the grass market, Yang Qian was a little surprised, and then he heard Professor Wen say that the first floor of the shop sold rouge gouache, and he was even more speechless.

Although the Bapin official allows his family members to do business, it is obvious that the attitude of the Son of Heaven is not encouraging, you would rather sell rouge gouache in the name of your wife, but also go to live in a shop in a prosperous place, and you are still a new policy official?

Lu Ning only didn't know about his strange eyes, as soon as the merchant could hide why he wanted to rent a shop on the street with a cheap rent; Second, when you really do business yourself, you can have a more intuitive feeling of the difficulties of today's businessmen, the loopholes in managing businessmen, and so on.
