In Yu's mansion, Du He and Duan Ganzhi, Wang Xing, Sun Fan and others got together again. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Duan Ganzhi, Wang Xing, and Sun Fan are the leaders in Chang'an's fast arrest, and as soon as there is a big case, the governor Shi will send them out. Yu Shinan is the founder of the country, the official worship secretary supervisor, Hongwen Hall bachelor, Li Shimin once personally praised him for having five uniques: virtue, loyalty, erudition, literary words, and calligraphy.

Now he is old at home because of his advanced age, but he still has indelible prestige in the court.

The theft in his house is already a big deal, not to mention that the theft is the "Lanting Collection Preface", a rare treasure in the world that even Li Shimin is blushing at.

In order to solve the case as soon as possible, the governor of the state sent the most capable cadres under his command.

Duan Ganzhi, Wang Xing, and Sun Fan had contact with Du He in Hongfu Temple, and they admired his means of finding out the lewd monk of the cashier, and he did not have any objections to joining the three, and the four of them discussed the division of labor, investigated the crime scene, and saw if there were any traces.

Duan Ganzhi, Wang Xing, and Sun Fan searched everywhere.

In order to avoid shocking the world, Du He asked people to find a ladder and quickly climbed up to the roof to see if there were any signs of thieves sneaking in.

After half a pillar of incense, the four of them reunited.

Duan Ganzhi, Wang Xing, and Sun Fan shook their heads one after another.

Du He also said: "It has not rained recently, there is a layer of dust on the house, and there are no footprints that have been stepped on except for the ones I left." "Even if a person is good at light work, it is impossible to step on the ashes without a trace, which is not even possible for him himself, which is enough to show that the thief did not sneak in from the roof.

Sun Fan shook his head with a wry smile: "It's exactly the same...... Back then, the thief even robbed the eight Helan families overnight. The adults dispatched the whole Chang'an to catch the fast, but there were no clues at all. It's like being slapped in the face, and our entire Chang'an officials have nothing to do with that mysterious person. ”

Wang Xing also remembered the events of that year, the root of his teeth was bitten to death, and Du He's actions back then had been caught by the whole Chang'an, which was regarded as a lifelong shame.

Duan Ganzhi was not in the post at that time, but he had obviously heard about stealing the handsome from Wang Xing and Sun Fan. However, as a former in the rivers and lakes, he did not have any antipathy towards the thief, but had a good impression, and asked: "So, this time it is likely that the thief who came and went without a trace did it?" ”

Wang Xing and Sun Fan nodded one after another, and the former said, "Except for him, I can't think of anyone who has this means...... Don't be afraid to grow the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige. I've been hunting for almost twenty years, and I haven't cared about any thieves. But the thief is still hairy when he thinks about it now. There are eight families in Helan, eight places, one in the east and one in the west, which are more than ten miles in succession, and it takes more than an hour to ride a fast horse. But it took less than an hour for the thief to steal all the valuable treasures of the eight families of Helan. It's like a ghost, and I can't even think about it...... By the way, Brother Duan, you are walking in the rivers and lakes, do you know that there are similar characters in the rivers and lakes? ”

Duan Ganzhi shook his head and said: "There are many people who are good at light body kung fu on the rivers and lakes, but there is nothing you say. He paused and said, "This is a tricky case, so you can interrogate the people in the house and see if you can find some clues." I went to the prison, and the master was well-informed, maybe he knew such a person. ”

Du He listened quietly on the side, and saw that they all turned the finger to him, and smiled bitterly in his heart, but he didn't say anything to defend himself. The mastermind behind the scenes is coming at him, unless he says that he is a thief, otherwise it is impossible to eliminate the suspicion of stealing a handsome by saying anything.

He didn't stay in Yufu for long, and after Duan Ganzhi left, he pretended to get nothing and left Yufu.

Du He returned to the mansion and immediately asked the people about Wu Meiniang's whereabouts, raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, and the hole card he secretly prepared should also be tempered out of the sheath.

**********

The most unique room on the fourth floor of the Chang'an Welcome Building.

Wu Meiniang crossed her hands, wrapped around her chest, stood at the window and looked at the tourists coming and going on the street, her left index finger was on her right arm and pointed, her delicate face did not have any expression, it seemed serious and deep, she was like a proud queen, looking down at the crowd below.

Standing behind him was Jiang Yuxu, the steward of the Helan family.

Jiang Yuxu was reporting to Wu Meiniang all the capital contributions of the Helan family in Chang'an this month, and in front of Wu Meiniang, Jiang Yuxu's pale body was a little restrained, and he looked trembling. He held the account book in his hand and reported everything to the Helan family truthfully.

Although the Helan family bears the name of Helan, Jiang Yuxu knows that the thin and slender woman in front of him is the real master of the Helan family, holding the real power of life and death.

For the owner in front of him, Jiang Yuxu has a strange awe.

This kind of feeling is something he has never had in front of Wu Shiyi, not because Wu Meiniang is too strict, on the contrary, Wu Meiniang is good at winning people's hearts, knowing and employing people, and making people die for her. Especially for Jiang Yuxu, who used to be kind to her, Wu Meiniang is even more caring and regards her as a confidant.

But this does not alleviate Jiang Yuxu's awe of Wu Meiniang, it is an aura that cannot be described in words, the clichΓ© is domineering, a momentum that overrides others.

For example, when a group of people get together, often the strongest person becomes the leader of the group, and what he says is like a holy decree, so that the group of people will obey it unconsciously. In the case of Qin Shi Huang, for example. When Jing Ke assassinated Qin, he also brought a helper Qin Wuyang with him. Qin Wuyang is a warrior who began to kill people at the age of twelve, and in the eyes of the ancients, it was very remarkable. But after seeing Qin Shi Huang, he was so frightened that he showed his horse's feet.

Judging from the records in the "Historical Records", Qin Wuyang has no reason to be afraid at all. Because there was not a single soldier in the palace of King Qin, the ministers around him were all literati who did not dare to come forward, except for the sword on Qin Shihuang's own body, there was only a dagger hidden in the map in Qin Wuyang's hand in the entire hall, this weapon.

But Qin Wuyang was afraid, and he was afraid when Qin Shi Huang didn't notice it, and the only explanation was that he was affected by the majesty on Qin Shi Huang's body.

Although Wu Meiniang is young, she has also been in the mall for a long time. Although she did not become the female emperor of the Tang Dynasty, she faintly had the posture of the first businessman in Chang'an, the future financial queen, the intelligence that surpassed the ordinary number of times, and the ruthlessness of the enemy, leaving no room for the means, which made people involuntarily awe-inspired.

When Wu Meiniang was young, Jiang Yuxu had a faint feeling that the second daughter of the martial arts family would have extraordinary achievements. Because when they were subjected to Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang, the eldest daughter, the youngest daughter of the Wu family, and the Yang family were all obedient and helpless. Only the second daughter Wu Meiniang endured silently, she did not resist, but there was a different kind of strength in her eyes, which was a look that buried hatred in her heart.

At that time, Jiang Yuxu had some heart palpitations, thinking that a little girl could be so strong, and her sanity was really rare. But he never imagined that Wu Meiniang would achieve such an achievement.

"The income of the Drunken Immortal Boat is thirty percent less!" Wu Meiniang didn't turn around, but said lightly.

Jiang Yuxu was not surprised, he had long been accustomed to Wu Meiniang's means of controlling everything. Although Wu Meiniang is the shopkeeper, she knows everything about the martial arts business, and there are more individual situations than he knows.

Jiang Yuxu said truthfully: "Lao Yu summed up some situations, there are four reasons why 'Drunken Immortal Fang' was able to be popular at the beginning: first, the calligraphy and painting of Master Du and Princess Changle made Chang'an celebrities flock to gather; Second, the eldest lady personally sat in charge and used all kinds of means to retain customers; Third, travel by boat, eat on the river, fresh. Fourth, it is a quiet environment and a gathering place for literati and scholars. Now the times have changed, calligraphy and painting have a day when they are tired of seeing, the eldest lady has also left, traveling by boat, dining on the river has long been accustomed to people, compared to the 'drunken fairy boat', the current Longjing Tea House is the gathering place of literati and scholars. Losing these four benefits, the unfavorable factors such as the remote location of the Drunken Immortal Boat and the crowded seats were gradually reflected, so the business was not as good as before. ”

A smile appeared at the corner of Wu Meiniang's mouth, she was very satisfied with Jiang Yuxu's talent, and nodded: "Good job, 'Drunken Immortal Fang' is the foundation of my fortune, and I can't abandon it." However, if this continues, the number of customers will decrease day by day, until there is a loss. She closed her eyes and pondered for a moment and said: "Rectify the 'Drunken Immortal Boat' and renovate the boat boat to be luxurious and rich, not open to the public, nor to stay in one place, for people to charter tours." ”

Jiang Yuxu's eyes lit up, Chang'an has never lacked rich people, and many scenes in Chang'an are inseparable from water, what eight waters surround Chang'an, and Jingwei is distinct, going east and entering the upper reaches of the Yellow River, you can enjoy the scenery of the Yellow River, continue to go east and arrive in Luoyang, visit the places of interest in Luoyang, and fully develop the role of the drunken fairy boat, and respectfully: "The owner is calculating, and the old man will do it immediately...... In addition, the old man feels that our Helan family has the full strength to become the king of Chang'an's food industry, the welcome building, the welcome guest inn is located in the downtown area, is already the largest restaurant and inn in Chang'an, as long as we can find a way to buy the Baizui Xuan across the street, no one will shake our Helan family's status in the catering industry. ”

"No, I don't want to spare Jiang Lao about this matter." Wu Meiniang still had a smile on her face, she had already determined that Bai Zuixuan was one of the industries that the eldest grandson Wuji secretly supported, and it was better to keep it for great use if she swallowed it up to make money.

She worked so hard because she had a strong opponent like the eldest grandson Wuji opposite her favorite husband.

Money is not important to Wu Meiniang, but having money equals strength, and having strength can become Du He's helper, and he can sweep away all the enemies that threaten Du He for him.

The eldest grandson, Wuji, is undoubtedly the most terrifying of them all.

Wu Meiniang, the black-bellied queen, naturally locked her eyes on this old fox. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to ***(***.***) to vote for recommendation, ***, your support is my biggest motivation. )
