In the past few days, Huang Kaicheng has been very attentive and does not dare to make any abnormal moves. 1

Li Xiu beat him with thirty military sticks, and then idle him. Even if he behaved well later, he couldn't interfere in Chongmen's affairs.

After more than half a year, the errand that Huang Kaicheng can get is only to be on duty at the Yamen of the Zhenfu Division.

After the events of that day, he thought that Li Xiu would conduct a large-scale investigation and dispatch a large number of people from Nanzhen to arrest the murderer. But the other party's reaction was somewhat unexpected to him.

Li Xiu didn't seem to pay much attention to that matter, what should he do every day, and he didn't have the slightest intention of investigating to the end. It's just that people are asked to assist Shuntianfu in investigating the case, and when they come to the yamen every day, they will ask a few words, and then they will instruct people to urge Shuntianfu to solve the case as soon as possible.

"Is it because he killed those people and didn't leave a living mouth, that he behaved like this?"

Huang Kaicheng was puzzled. He did kill them all that day, and then set a fire and destroyed the bodies of those people.

Those people are indeed hard bones. After the torture was fruitless, he killed Ding Cheng with a knife, and then put the knife on the other strong man, and only said one sentence: "Tell me, there are still people in the old mansion of Wenge, and I will give you a good time." ”

The man was indeed happy, and after listening to this question, he honestly recruited.

In fact, there is nothing to recruit, originally Han Lin arranged to break into the Wen Mansion, there was only one person, and the situation that the strong man knew was that there were no secret agents in Wen Tiren's Mansion at present.

As for the people arranged by Li Xiu, they didn't know.

When this news comes out, it has no value at all, and it can be exchanged for a painful knife, why not recruit it?

Huang Kaicheng was also very happy, and directly gave the man a knife. For him, as long as he can make a deal, what does the spies in other houses have to do with him? You can't take the risk of taking people away in order to get to the bottom of it. If Li Xiu finds out, wouldn't he be a dead end?

Wen Tiren refused to give up, and after hearing the news he brought, he stubbornly believed that Li Xiu had also arranged for other people to be in his house, but he couldn't find out for the time being. Subsequently, he was instructed to continue to follow Li Xiu and find out more useful information.

Today, it is Xu Jiang's turn to be on duty at the Yamen of Nanzhen. Huang Kaicheng has been lurking for a few days, and today he finally decided to continue to embellish Li Xiu from afar.

Li Xiu, as usual, stayed in Nanzhen for a while, and after asking about the investigation of the case in Shuntian Mansion, he went out. Huang Kaicheng stayed at the yamen for a while, said hello to Xu Jiang, and went out on his heels.

The two of them went to Chongmen one after the other. Li Xiu stayed there for a while, and then left after making some rounds. Huang Kaicheng was far away, and he continued to follow heartily.

Subsequently, Li Xiu went to the Ordnance Bureau again, stayed in it for most of the hour before coming out, and then entered the palace, probably to report something to the emperor.

In the Qianqing Palace, Li Xianzheng was reporting to Zhu Youzhen about the tax situation in the past six months.

Li Xiu had made up his mind before, on average, every month, it would be good to report more than 4,000 to 5,000 taels of taxes. If you report too much, you can only have a false name of "incorruptible", and there is no benefit at all.

Moreover, the current Chongmen is two banknote gates, and the additional tax gate of his own road is not as good as the household banknote customs that were originally controlled by the celebrant supervisor, and one tax item is about to catch up with several tax items.

As for the royal firm, Cao Huachun checked the accounts every half a month and reported directly to Zhu Youzhen. Of course, this part of the income was all used as military expenses for the Shenji Battalion.

Zhu Youzhen was very satisfied with the errand he did, and he didn't worship the fact that he could pay an extra 50,000 or 60,000 taels of taxes every year, and the business he opened alone was also very profitable.

Because of this incident, Zhu Youzhen's opinion of Shangjia has changed a lot. Li Xiu's name is selling salted fish, but he is actually selling smuggled salt, and Cao Huachun has reported this matter to him.

At that time, he frowned when he heard this, this Li Xiu is too bold, he dares to do this kind of head-killing thing?

After thinking about it, this business is completely directly audited by Cao Huachun, and Li Xiu has not made a penny except for a small amount of monthly wages for workers and his own wages, and he is completely making money for himself. If he was punished like this, it seemed a little chilling.

In vain, although Li Xiu is selling smuggled salt, the actual boss is Zhu Youzhen himself. The emperor sits on the country and is rich all over the world. The whole world is his, how can there be a law to sell smuggled salt?

Anyway, this kind of thing, as long as it is not put on the table, it will not hurt you.

One day, if the hundred officials are presented, it will be good to push Li Xiu out and carry the black cauldron. For the sake of him being so conscientious and diligent, I would definitely not kill him. At most, punish him, come to a demotion and punish him or something, and then compensate him.

For Zhu Youzhen, whoever has the ability to make money for him now will be reused.

In view of the average monthly income of 5,000 taels of Chongmen banknotes, Zhu Youzhen really ordered a fixed amount of 60,000 taels per year. Of course, this is only a preliminary provision, if Li Xiu occasionally collects less, he can also be lenient.

When Li Xiu left the palace, it was already noon. Feeling a little hungry, he hurried in the direction of Sihailou.

Huang Kaicheng has been following him since the morning, and he has not left the palace since he entered the palace, but has been watching outside. At this time, when I saw him leaving, I hurriedly cheered up and followed.

Following him all the way to Sihailou, Huang Kaicheng was stunned and guessed that he was going to eat. Now I have a dry mouth and an empty stomach, so I ordered something at a restaurant on the side of the road and waited while eating.

Today's Sihai Building, Li Xiu completely let go of Dong Wan to take care of it, and Chen Yuanyuan and Li Xiangjun also helped a little, settling accounts or something.

In addition to Dong Wan changing into men's clothes every day and coming to collect accounts, there are several other shopkeepers who are responsible for taking care of them.

Li Xiu didn't care about this either, just asked Han Lin to help watch it. Dong Wan is in charge of the accounts, and he has nothing to worry about.

Since the opening of Sihailou, it can be said that it is making money every day. He is now wondering when the next "Woman Flower" will open.

That's right, the building that specializes in women's things is called Women's Flowers.

About half an hour later, Huang Kaicheng saw Li Xiu come out.

Li Xiu walked leisurely on the street, and suddenly stopped at a corner, Huang Kaicheng saw this, and quickly dodged and hid behind a stall, using the bodies of several customers on the stall to block Li Xiu's sight.

Huang Kaicheng now said that the place where Li Xiu went was the direction of Wen Tiren's house. He quickly cheered up and quickly followed.

When he walked around the corner, he saw a scene that made him unbelievable: Li Xiu stood in front of him, looking at him with a smile. Behind the other party, there was also a horse-drawn carriage parked, blocking the view of pedestrians in front.

Run!

Huang Kaicheng knew that he had been tricked, this was a trap at all! At this moment, the only thought in his heart was to escape.

However, it backfired, and when he turned around, he saw another ordinary-looking man wearing a short shirt, staring at him coldly.

The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind! (To be continued.) )
