Pei Mansion, small hall.

Hearing the report of the next person's return, Pei Youdao became excited, after waiting for so many days, there was finally movement on Li Weixian's side!

Since he lent the 40,000 guan to Tang Xiu more than ten days ago, Pei Youdao's heart has never calmed down, especially after the people he sent determined and affirmed the true value of the vegetable garden in the back house of the Tang Mansion, and he became more and more sure of the Gujing Lingquan, and the idea of getting the Tang Mansion to completely occupy this tool for making money became more and more urgent.

In the past ten days, Pei Youdao has sent a large number of people to scatter in front of Li Weixian and Tang Xiu's mansions every day, monitoring the movements of the two families day and night, just waiting for the day when the two of them start a formal transaction, just waiting for Tang Xiu to spend all the 40,000 yuan in his hand as soon as possible.

For this reason, Pei Youdao also secretly helped Tang Xiu a lot, contacted several well-known merchants in the city to stimulate Li Weixian at a lower price, and also spent a lot of effort to ensure that the limited few families in the city who could afford the manor did not rob Tang Xiu's business, for this reason, Pei Youdao even scattered thousands of dollars.

In this way, Li Weixian actually returned the ink for nearly ten days before he made a move, so anxious that Pei Youdao's heart was about to grow hair.

But fortunately, the effort has always paid off, and Li Weixian's patience has finally run out, and he can't wait!

Pei Youdao excitedly walked a few steps back and forth in the small hall, and commanded the housekeeper beside him in a loud voice: "Pei Wan, this time you personally go to the Tang Mansion to keep an eye on me, once Tang Xiu and Li Weixian complete the negotiation, as long as the 40,000 yuan is out of the Tang Mansion, you will come back immediately to report." ”

"Yes, sir!" Pei Shan bent over, then turned around and walked out of the hall door.

Four thousand taels of gold, adding up to more than four hundred catties, Tang Xiu wanted to transport them out of the Tang Mansion, but he couldn't hide it from the eyes of people with a heart.

"Dad, when do you think we should come to collect debts? The children couldn't wait to see Tang Xiu's look of chagrin and regret! The cornucopia he just got was about to be handed over to him, and Tang Xiu's expression at that time would definitely be very good-looking! ”

Pei Shiyuan stood beside Pei Youdao, rubbing his hands, looking impatient.

Pei Shixin also interjected very proudly beside him: "Happiness and sorrow are nothing more than that. Just like his original wedding, the big day not only lost the ancestral field on which the Tang family depended for survival, but also the inhuman person he married was devastated, and he had been lying in bed for more than half a month before he could get off the ground. ”

"This time, we are even more at the bottom of the kettle, directly cutting off his biggest source of wealth, that is, what can he do if he gets that manor, he has no successor, he has no money to take care of it, and in the end, it can be sold again at a low price, and then our Pei family can buy it back from him at a lower price, it can really be described as the best of both worlds!"

The two brothers laughed in unison, and Pei Youdao frowned when he heard it.

"Shut up both of you!"

Pei Youdao turned around, and Zhengse scolded the two brothers: "Do you really think that the old man is doing this just to see the jokes of the Tang Mansion and the jokes of Tang Xiu?" Stupidity! ”

"The Pei and Tang families have been friends for several generations and have a good relationship, do you really think that the old man will be ungrateful and greedy for temporary profits, and go to frame the son of his best friend?!"

"Huh?"

Pei Shiyuan and Pei Shixin all stopped laughing, and looked at Pei Youdao stupidly, what kind of wind is the old man smoking? Wasn't it the old man himself who came up with this strategy to plot the ancient well of the Tang family's ancestral home, why did he come up with such righteous and awe-inspiring words now?

"The so-called puppet is not guilty, but he is guilty." Pei Youdao said in a righteous manner: "Tang Xiuxian's nephew is just a gentleman who doesn't know anything, and he's just a child, and now he has such a cornucopia in his hand that is enough to make many people blush and even take risks, do you think he can keep it?" ”

Pei Shiyuan and Pei Shixin shook their heads in unison.

"Therefore, as his uncle, the old man is of course obliged to give him some appropriate help to get him out of this extremely dangerous whirlpool, even if it will provoke himself because of this, he will not hesitate!"

Pei Youdao turned around and looked at his two sons, and taught with deep meaning: "There are clouds in the Buddhist family, who will go to hell if I don't go to hell?" The old man did not do this to seek his family wealth, but to save him, this is a righteous act of sacrificing his life for righteousness, do you understand? ”

"Huh? Got it! Got it! ”

The two nodded in unison, impressed by their father's shameless remarks. Compared with the realm of the old man, the two brothers are indeed far from each other now.

We are saving him, and this is a righteous act of sacrificing our lives for righteousness!

Listen, listen, it makes people feel that the whole body is full of righteous power, and it feels like the whole person's mental realm has been sublimated a lot.

On the other side, the Metropolitan Governor's Palace.

Seeing that the subordinates in the mansion were busy collecting things, as if they were going to move their families, but when Li Jing asked these subordinates, no one knew where they were going, and in a hurry, Li Jing directly found Cheng Chuliang.

"Madame, don't worry, Madame, don't worry!"

Cheng Chuliang, who was sorting out weapons in the martial arts hall, saw Li Jing coming, hurriedly put down the long knife in his hand, took Li Jing's hands and sat down next to him, and explained softly: "Originally, I wanted to say hello to my wife, but because things were in a hurry, I forgot about it when I was busy, don't blame my wife!" ”

"What is it that makes you, a metropolitan governor, so anxious to move out? Is there a decree or a new decree? Li Jing's residual anger has not subsided, but she didn't expect that she would be ignored by her husband one day as a princess of the Tang Dynasty.

"Neither." Cheng Chuliang suddenly looked at Li Jing affectionately, "Actually, I originally wanted to surprise my wife, but now that my wife has noticed it in advance, I won't hide it anymore." ”

"Didn't Madame always say that it was too boring to stay in this Metropolitan Governor's Mansion all the time? So I want to change the environment for my wife, just two days ago I really found a place, that place is beautiful, the environment is pleasant, Mrs. will definitely like it! ”

"Really?" Li Jing was a little moved by Cheng Chuliang's words, and asked softly: "I don't know what my husband is talking about?" ”

"The manor built on the east side of the city by the mountains, does Madame know?"

"Of course, the palace has also been invited to visit there twice, and the environment there is really good, but," Li Jing looked up at Cheng Chuliang suspiciously: "Those manors should be empty anymore, right?" Even if there is, with the current financial resources in our house, I'm afraid we can't afford it, right? ”

Although the manor in the east of the city is good, its price is also enough to make people feel shocked, and the reserve price is tens of thousands of yuan at every turn, even if Li Jing and Cheng Chulianggui are royal relatives, they can't afford it.

"You don't even need to buy it!" Seeing Li Jing staring at him with a calm face and cold eyes, Cheng Chuliang's body trembled, and he hurriedly explained: "Don't misunderstand, madam, my husband didn't go to the traitor department to take advantage of it. ”

"It's conventional! A convention that has been set since the beginning of the construction of the Chengdong Manor more than ten years ago! ”

Cheng Chuliang said: "In addition to paying enough military funds to the city guards in full every year, the residents in the manor also specially reserve a right of residence in the manor for the leaders of the city guards, and there is a manor in that manor that is provided for the leaders of the city guards, just like the official residence where we live now, not private property, and every leader of the city guards can live in it openly, and no one will deliberately pursue it." ”

Li Jing's face softened slightly, and he continued to ask Cheng Chuliang: "That's just a matter of the city guards, what does it have to do with us?" ”

"The city guards are all under the jurisdiction of me, the Metropolitan Governor, now, how can they not have anything to do with us?" Cheng Chuliang smiled: "Besides, this is all a piece of filial piety of the people below, I can't chill their minds, right?" ”

Hearing this, Li Jing nodded lightly, although things are a little inappropriate, there are inevitably people who want to please Cheng Chuliang, but if the water is clear, there are no fish, and everything can't be too serious, otherwise Cheng Chuliang, the governor, will not be a good person.

Moreover, this kind of thing is really nothing for people of their status, and even if some people can't get used to it in the future, they will definitely not be able to find any reason. After all, the manor wasn't really a city guard officer's residence, and they were only staying temporarily.
