Found a dark corner and buried the four Tang monks and men, maybe in a few months, this place will be covered with grass, and in a few years, the corpse will become dry bones, and no one can recognize it.

At the end of the day, Gu Bei led the two women to escort the tied Qi Shenfeng and the two masters and servants back to Yingtian City, as for Yujianxuan, he had already left.

At three o'clock, in the Bai Mansion, seeing Gu Bei leading two women, followed by two people returning safely, Qing'er and the others were also very happy, but they were a little puzzled.

Obviously, only one person was kidnapped, but two women were brought back, and among them was Tao Yao, the widow of the Liu family, could it be that my uncle went out to rob it?

Gu Bei didn't care so much, and asked Xiao Ran to take Qi Shenfeng in and send him to the government tomorrow. It was too late, and the two daughters were frightened a lot, so Gu Bei asked Lian Meng and Mrs. Liu to stay in Baifu for the time being, but Mrs. Liu couldn't postpone it, so she had to agree to come down, seeing that he didn't forget to send someone to Liufu to report his safety, Tao Yao was grateful for Gu Bei's carefulness.

Because the two women were frightened, they didn't eat much for a day, and he happened to be hungry, so Gu Bei asked his subordinates to prepare a table of wine and food, and a group of people drank while listening to Gu Bei boast about how to escape death from the masked man.

After three rounds of drinking, Bai Luoshi just came out of Mrs. Qin's courtyard, and came accompanied by the maid with her belly open, and after making sure that Gu Bei was not missing any parts, she finally put her mind at ease.

Gu Bei knew that when she came here at this time, she must have been waiting for him all night in fear.

When she came to the study, Bai Luoshi sent people down and sat in the chair, while Gu Bei sat on the small stool next to her, seeing her husband so well-behaved, Bai Luoshi couldn't help but be a little funny, "Okay, I know you have suffered a lot, but what is going on tonight, you should tell me in detail." Who is the mastermind behind The Masked Man? Why would they kidnap women to blackmail you, and what are their purposes? ”

Gu Bei had no choice but to repeat the matter in detail, not only the matter of the masked man, but also the matter of Tao Yao and Qi Shenfeng was not hidden.

As for the masked man's mastermind, what is his purpose? He wasn't very clear. In this regard, he is also very strange, the masked man planner kidnapped Lianmeng and led him over, he must have wanted to make up his mind on him, and there was nothing worth making up his mind on him except for the Tianxiang Dew formula. As a result, Tang Seng Nan didn't know what was going on and suddenly killed him, fortunately Yu Jianxuan came, otherwise he might really be in a different place tonight, where to go back and forth.

I don't dare to hide the matter of the silver hiring Yu Jianxuan, if I don't say this, who will ask for the 20,000 taels of silver, and I can't rely on the lady to be kind.

There is no way, since the last time the silver was stolen, Chen Jinwang would let people send the silver to the house every two days, Gu Bei was lazy to take care of it, and Bai Luoshi had to reluctantly provoke the financial power.

Originally, I still had a lot of silver taels, but recently I had to build high-rise buildings, order tiles, buy kilns, etc., which all cost money.

I want to go to Qing'er, Qing'er probably doesn't have that much, I have to borrow from her, and I have to pay interest, which is simply more usurious than usury.

Looking for Xiao Ran? I can't count on it, that guy eats and drinks and doesn't lose to others, if you want to make money, he can't make up a hundred taels by smashing pots and selling iron, compared to people who live on Baifu Yulu, they have to supplement the family every month, after all, there are younger brothers and sisters below.

Therefore, there is really no way, so I can only ask the lady for mercy.

Hearing Gu Bei say it again, Bai Luoshi's face was obviously not very good, her fingers knocked on the table, her beautiful eyes flashed coldly.

"Husband, should Miss Ben scold you, or should she praise you? Ask that Jade Jianxuan to kill someone for you, you really can think of it, five thousand taels per person, others don't use it, you still force it, are you burning too much money?"

"Isn't there no way, forced, but if there is any other way, I won't make this decision. Those who promise others can't be dishonest, not to mention, that Jade Jianxuan is really good at killing, one arrow at a time, it can be called a magic archer! ”

"Hmph, no face and no skin, 20,000 taels of silver, I'll let Qing'er give it to you later."

"Okay, thank you for your kindness." Gu Bei's hippie smile arched his hand.

"Okay, you're tired all day, let's rest early!" After being frightened all night, Bai Luoshi was also sleepy, covered her mouth and yawned, opened the door and prepared to go back to the room, remembered something again, turned around and asked, "Are Lianmeng and Mrs. Liu still in the house?" ”

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"It's not much, if you're fine, just rest quickly!"

When I went out, I saw Qing'er coming over with a basin of water, so he beckoned to her, "Qing'er, come here." ”

"Miss,"

"Where does Lady Liu live?"

"Mrs. Liu, it seems to be in the third room of the West Wing, what's wrong?"

"It's okay, Qing'er, go and wait for your uncle to wash up!"

After waiting for Qing'er to leave, Bai Luoshi came to the West Wing alone, as for why she came, Bai Luoshi didn't know too well, but a voice in her heart kept telling her that she had to do this.

Although it was very late, Tao Yao still had no sleep, she was kidnapped for a day and a night, and at night she knew that Qi Shenfeng had killed her husband, and now this is Baifu again, a completely unfamiliar environment. She didn't know that Gu Bei had left her to stay in Baifu at that time, and her tone of refusal was so weak.

Hearing movement at the door, Tao Yao suddenly became vigilant, and her beautiful eyes looked out through the gap in the door, and saw that it was the eldest lady Bai Luoshi, so she opened the door.

I don't know why, facing the eyes of the eldest lady, Tao Yao felt uneasy in her heart, there was always a feeling that the concubine saw the big house, could it be that she stayed in Baifu by herself, and the eldest lady was unhappy?

Letting Bai Luoshi into the house, Tao Yao was a little cramped and didn't dare to sit down.

On the light, Bai Luoshi looked at the pitiful Tao Yao again, and praised in her heart, what a beautiful woman! It makes people want to hug it in their arms and take good care of it when they see it.

"Mrs. Liu, please take a seat, come here so late, just come and have a look, you don't have to be restrained."

"Miss, slave ......" Tao Yao was still a little uneasy, she didn't understand what the eldest lady wanted to do when she came late at night.

"Do you have business dealings with the firm established by your husband?"

"Yes, in the last auction, the slave family also luckily won the agency of a county, and the Tianxiang dew invented by Gu Gongzi is now in short supply."

"Agency," Bai Luoshi chuckled softly, "so be it! In the future, if there is something wrong with the Liu's medicine store that Mrs. will take care of, he will directly report the name of Baigongfu. ”

At first, Tao Yao thought that the eldest lady was dissatisfied with her living in Baifu, and misunderstood that she had an unclear relationship with Gu Bei. But listening to the eldest lady's next words, a trace of excitement surged in her heart.

She is a woman's family, and she is also a widow who has lost her husband, and it is very difficult to support Liu's medicine store alone, and she often has to face some businessmen and officials who covet her beauty. In order to support the firm, she has been cautious over the years, and she has to be harassed from time to time.

With Miss Bai's words, it saved her a lot of trouble, and it can be said that no one in Ying Tianfu dares to make things difficult for her openly and beat her up, this sentence is worth a thousand dollars.

moved out of the name of Bai Gongfu, and some people beat her idea, that is, to go against the eldest lady and against Bai Gongfu.

In gratitude, Tao Yao bowed to the eldest lady, "Slave, thank you, eldest lady!"

Bai Luoshi is also looking at the face of the same woman, she can help if she can, and Liu's Pharmacy has a good reputation under her care, and I heard that she often gives free medicine to people who can't afford it, which can be regarded as a conscientious businessman.

"Madam, get up quickly, these are just a gesture, and I will also take care of Liu's medicine store."

"Thank you, Miss!"

Tonight was an unexpected joy for Tao Yao, first Gu Bei caught the murderer of his first husband for him, and then the eldest lady took care of him.

Actually, Bai Luoshi came tonight to find out if she had an unclear relationship with her husband, and after she came, she changed her mind for some reason. Just like my mother said, the man in the powerful family is not a man with three wives and four concubines, who occasionally doesn't go outside to steal fish, some things are seen through and not broken, and she really has to pay attention to this kind of trivial and in the backyard, she must not be tired to death. As long as she ensures her unshakable status as a wife and determines the absolute authority of the backyard, what if Gu Bei has an entangled relationship with Lian Meng and others?

After casually talking to Mrs. Liu, Bai Luoshi returned to the room, and as for the dream of mercy, she didn't go.

As for the unclear relationship between Lianmeng and Gu Bei, she didn't bother to care, Lianmeng, this woman is very intelligent and assertive, she and Gu Bei have come to that step, let it be!

Pity Meng, hehe, this woman may not necessarily consider her Bai Luoshi's thoughts.

In her heart, Bai Luoshi doesn't like to pity dreams, this woman is too smart, assertive, and has a vixen face, if she enters the mansion, she will be annoyed in the future.

In the past few days, Gu Bei, accompanied by Xiao Ran and Qing'er, has gone out of the house every day to inspect in a high-profile manner, running shops and workshops at both ends, and going to Yunlai Inn from time to time to have a small chat with the brothers and sisters of the Yu family. He did this to see if there were any big fish on the bait, after the last incident, Gu Beixin was afraid, and he became more and more jealous of the mask man, acting so without a bottom line, if he couldn't dig out the mastermind behind the scenes, he didn't know who would suffer next.

It is worth mentioning that a few days ago, he became the new owner of the kiln on the outskirts of the city, and the shopkeeper who received him before heard the name of the new owner, the shopkeeper was not depressed at all, but was still happy. It makes Gu Bei very strange, from absolute control to only one percent of the shares, from the owner to a wage earner, shouldn't there be a gap?

However, Gu Bei didn't have time to grind his thoughts, and he wouldn't grind when he had time. The grinding man was cold when he thought about it, and in the face of the shopkeeper of Zhou, who almost treated him as his grandfather, Gu Bei instructed him to add a new furnace, and handed over the raw material formula of the glass and some precautions to him, and asked him to keep it secret.

What is the owner trying to do? The purpose of adding a new furnace is to take a pile of stones and burn them together, isn't this burning still stones? If you burn a bunch of stones, why do you have to keep it a secret?

However, for the decision of the new owner, Shopkeeper Zhou had doubts and did not dare to argue, after all, this is a big thick leg, and it is not easy to hug it, even if he is allowed to die...... Ahem, it's still something to think about.

Gu Bei couldn't give some other suggestions for firing glass, he was just a half-science student, he only knew the formula and raw materials for firing glass, and he couldn't remember anything else, but it didn't matter, he knew that glass was fired, and that's it.

Anyway, the raw materials are everywhere, just let Steward Zhou hand over to those guys to experiment, anyway, as long as the glass is burned, it doesn't matter what the quality is. The glass was fired, which was another great invention of the Xia Dynasty, and of course it was a tool for him to collect money.

Many great inventions in human history started from scratch, from a flash of inspiration, and then after thousands of failures in the laboratory.

Now that Gu Bei knows the right direction, at least he guarantees that this road will definitely reach the end, and it has greatly shortened the distance from success, which is enough.

The dream of building the tallest building in Xia has succeeded again, glass firing has also been put on the agenda, red bricks, ceramic tiles are also being fired in a steady stream, everything is ready only to owe the east wind, and now it is only the land.

Before asking Lao Chen to go to the prosperous area of Fucheng to buy land, most of them refused with two cold words. Those who have the intention of selling land are either in a bad location or have a small land area that cannot meet their needs.

In the past few days, he has also wandered around Fucheng to look at the land, only to understand that the concept of the ancient people is that selling land and houses is equivalent to losing the family, and it is to be looked down upon, and the land of this era is wealth for them, and real money is a concept, unlike the 21st century to sell houses and land to start a business, but in ancient times it was just the opposite, that is, to buy, buy, buy, hold the land deed to feel at ease, and the Xia Dynasty was not different.

Gu Bei was still thinking about how to buy land.

In the rich residential area of the southern city of Tianfu, in the study, Wu Gongzi, who was sitting at the top at the moment, was furious at this time.

"What are you talking about, Tang Hu secretly planned to kidnap Lianmeng to lure Gu Bei there? Who gave him the audacity to do this? Wu Gongzi slammed the table, his face full of disbelief.

"It's Tang Hu who made his own opinion, and he can't stop it if he wants to." The burly figure sitting at the bottom said.

"Then why didn't you tell me? I only let you go out of the city to hide a few days ago, but it turned out that you are good, and if you act like this, it will be a big deal!" Wu Gongzi stood up, and his eyes shot a terrifying pressure, making the burly figure dare not look directly.

"Tang Hu...... It's dead!"

"Tang Hu has always been steady, why does he not know the depth so much this time?" Wu Gongzi showed pity on his face, shook his head and said.

Tang Hu has been involved in his disciples, and he has advised him on many things, and he is his right-hand man, who has solved many things for him, and now he is dead...... It's okay, so that he won't be looking for someone to kill him.

"Find his body and bury it! If you have family, be kind to his family! ”

"Yes, I thanked Wu Gongzi for Tang Hu's family first!" The burly figure stood up, glanced at Wu Gongzi gratefully, and saluted with a fist.

For an outlaw like him, Wu Gongzi can do this is already benevolent and righteous, licking blood from the knife edge, isn't it just eating to feed the family? That's their fate.

"Okay, you go out first, remember to go out of the city to avoid the limelight and restrain your subordinates."

Wu Gongzi sat on the chair with his forehead and thought, and after a long time, he overturned all kinds of expectations in his heart, and only after making sure that Tang Hu could not involve him, did he put his mind at ease.

"Someone."

A subordinate pushed open the door and walked in, "Young master, what are your orders!"

"Prepare the carriage, this young master is going out!"

"But ......"

"What are you talking about, don't hurry up yet!"

“......”

The subordinate was kicked and did not dare to say anything more, but responded respectfully, and hurried down to prepare the carriage.

Since land is not easy to buy, then buy land outside the city! Buy a place with convenient transportation and close to the Qinhuai River. After the high-rise building is built, the Tianxianglu workshop and the kiln mouth will all be moved over, and all the workshops will be built together in the future, which will be convenient for management and save both ends.

As for no one? No one has been there after the high-rise is built? Will there be a shortage of people on the banks of the Qinhuai River with convenient transportation? After the large-scale production of Tianxianglu, kilns, breweries, etc., those merchants still don't want to come, and after the riverside wharf is built, the merchants use boats to pull goods, and they don't need to be sharpened? If you need to be sharpened, you have to have a restaurant, and after you have a restaurant, you are afraid of no one? Maybe he accidentally built a prosperous town, thinking of this, Gu Bei felt the need to buy more land, and the name of the wharf was thought of, it was called Luobei Port!

told Bai Luoshi about the "Luobei Port" plan, only to surprise Bai Luoshi, she stared at a pair of beautiful eyes, and nodded at Gu Bei's shoulder with a smile, "Husband, husband, how much money does it cost you to buy so much land at once?" ”

"Lady, the money earned is spent, but the husband believes that when Luobeigang is built, the silver will be soft."

"You, you, husband, since you have an idea, let's do it! It just so happened that Uncle Cheng had a piece of land on the bank of the Qinhuai River, and I heard that the land used to be a piece of fertile land, but now it can't grow anything and has become a wasteland. ”

"Really! The lady is really my lucky star! I've been worried about my husband. ”

This is how the matter of buying land is settled? Gu Bei just told the lady what he thought, but he didn't expect the lady to not only support him, but also send an unexpected surprise!

When buying the land, it was also solved, Gu Bei felt comfortable, his whole body was comfortable, but his stomach came to feel, Gu Bei went to the thatched house leisurely, but as soon as he entered the thatched house, he almost didn't faint.

It's just stinking, the pit is full, it's almost a hill, this has to squat down, don't sit on it, how to solve the problem of life?

It's really hell, people are comfortable, but the last thatched house is not happy.

"Old Xiao...... Lao Xiao ...... Hurry up and ......."

Xiao Ran was practicing his sword, and when he heard his uncle's shout, he hurriedly ran over, "Uncle, what's wrong?" ”

"What's wrong? What's going on with this thatched house? Didn't you say it two days ago, hurry up and find a dung digger to deal with it. The pit is full of like this, how can you squat in the thatched house? ”
