Duan Tianbao came over early in the morning, and when he came, Wu Lao Er had just gotten up and hadn't eaten. Now there is no one in the palace, which is also one of the reasons why King Zhao asked Wu Lao Er to come first, you have to get everything that the palace should have, otherwise you can't bring everyone in the capital, right? Send a certain knight who came with him yesterday out to buy some breakfast, and Wu Lao Er first took Duan Tianbao to sit in the study.

After sitting down in the study, Wu Lao Er opened his mouth first: "Lord Duan hasn't had breakfast yet, has he?" Eat a bite later. ”

Duan Tianbao smiled and said, "Then thank you, sir, Tianbao will bother." After a pause, he said tentatively: "I will pick up the wind for the adults in the Qunfang Garden in Beicheng at night, I wonder if the adults will be able to appreciate their faces?" ”

Wu Lao Er smiled and nodded in agreement, and Duan Tianbao exhaled carefully.

Between people, the most feared thing is that there is no communication. So where is the best place for communication between men and men? Of course, it is the wine table, and it is best to have a woman at the wine table, which is the easiest to increase the intimacy of each other.

Originally, Duan Tianbao had put some thought into where to pick up Wu Laoer. The other party is not only his boss, but also the head of the palace, and I heard that he has never been out of the palace before. This kind of person is the most difficult to deal with, and most of them don't understand the world. And he was castrated into the palace at a very young age, Duan Tianbao himself is not a eunuch, except for Liu Jin, the factory prince, he has not dealt with other eunuchs much, so he is afraid that a new commander will not be happy. There is only one commander of the Jinyi Guard in Daye City, and the meaning of the commander is that as long as he is the commander, he will be under the control of others. I've been in Daye City for many years, and I'm a little careless, if I accidentally provoke the commander of the capital and ask him to sue him, do you say that he is wronged? Therefore, Duan Tianbao thought that before he found out the temperament of this Lord Wu, he had to be careful in whatever he did, and he must not make this person unhappy. But when I think that I will have the final say on my own in the future, and the days will be gone, I am still full of reluctance. But there is no way, unless King Zhao returns to Beijing, it is unlikely that the person on his head will leave.

After that, Wu Lao Er asked Duan Tianbao about the situation in Daye City, mainly from the people of the rivers and lakes, and the gang had a rough impression of it last night.

Duan Tianbao groaned: "Our Daye City is actually not very easy to manage, and there are many people in the rivers and lakes. These people don't have much money, and they don't want to serve the country, they think about happiness and revenge all day long. And they were so lawless that they often fought in the city, and regarded the law as nothing. ”

Wu Lao Er looked at Duan Tianbao and nodded, "Then I don't know how Lord Duan usually solves disputes in the rivers and lakes?" ”

Wu Lao Er heard that this guy didn't have anything good to say about the people in the rivers and lakes, but there were so many gangs in the city, he couldn't help but doubt his ability.

Duan Tianbao paused for a moment when he heard Wu Lao Er's question: "The lowly position is to inquire about who is causing trouble, and then cooperate with the government to issue a notice prohibiting these people from making trouble in the city, and at the same time contact the gangs in the city to arrest these people together." ”

Just kidding, is this black for black? In this way, the gangs that have no relationship are slowly becoming related. And if those people fight in the city, can there be no shadow of a gang behind them?

Wu Lao Er nodded noncommittally, "Then I don't know how effective Master Duan's method is?" Have you ever dealt with these people? ”

Duan Tianbao was embarrassed, Wu Lao Er was sure that he was embarrassed, this guy's face was not white, there were signs of moving closer to Guan Erye.

Wu Lao Er also guessed a rough idea of his situation when he saw this situation, and he smiled and looked at Duan Tianbao's face.

Duan Tianbao was even more embarrassed when he heard Wu Laoer's laughter, and whispered: "I didn't catch it, but my subordinates have also fought with a few people." After a pause, he said in a quieter voice, "I haven't hit." ”

The three words "haven't been beaten" are fast and quiet, if it weren't for Wu Laoer's internal skills, he was still home, and he kept staring at him and paying attention to what he was saying, maybe he couldn't hear it.

Wu Lao Er couldn't hold back his laughter, and pointed at Duan Tianbao with his finger and said, "Okay, let's talk about this later." Now, you go back first, I won't leave you for breakfast, you can find a place to deal with it yourself. Then find someone to sort out the information of all the gangs and resident Jianghu people in the city, three days is enough, right? Speaking of this, Wu Lao Er stood up, "Remember, what I want is everything!" ”

Duan Tianbao heard Wu Laoer's tone so solemn, and hurriedly stood up and patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, my lord!" This little thing can still be done by subordinates, and the most complete information must be handed over to the adults within three days! ”

"Well, okay, I will have guests in a while, so I won't send you away."

Duan Tianbao clasped his fists and saluted: "It's my lord, my subordinates are retiring." He knew that Wu Lao Er was going to meet the leaders of the four major gangs, but he couldn't guess what Wu Lao Er was going to do, but he had very few entanglements with the interests of the four major gangs, and he rarely interacted with each other on weekdays, so he was the least worried.

At the same time, Dongcheng, Qingfeng Teahouse.

The owner of the teahouse was standing at the counter at the moment, wiping his glass, and from time to time he looked up at the person sitting in the middle of the lobby. I thought in my heart that I don't know what happened, this master was waiting here early in the morning, and I don't know who he was waiting for? What kind of person has such a big face that can make this master wait here.

Li Dongyi is about thirty years old, which is considered a young man in the rivers and lakes. But it was this young man on the rivers and lakes who actually controlled all the profitable transactions in the eastern city of Daye City. Is this capable? Of course, forget it, although the support behind it is indispensable, and the care of the officials is also indispensable. But if he didn't have the ability, there wouldn't be more than 500 brothers to eat under him. What is the biggest reliance on coming out to mix? It's not that Brother Haonan is ruthless and righteous enough, of course, there must be more junior brothers. Li Dongyi thinks that the biggest reason for him to come out is that he has a good uncle. If it weren't for the fact that his uncle was very valued by the head of the family, he would not have gotten the opportunity to assist the Li family in running the business of Daye City.

Li Tianyi also knew that he had done some things in Dongcheng, but firstly, there was a pretense of the Li family, and secondly, his brothers had made mistakes, and he could only maintain himself as the boss, otherwise wouldn't it make the brothers below chill? Who will die for themselves then? What's more, the Li family's business in Dongcheng is dominant, and he doesn't believe that the head of the family will not see it, so he shouldn't count some small things.

Last night, the son of the cousin of the uncle's brother-in-law, who was on an errand in Jinyiwei, came to report to him that the new commander of Jinyiwei wanted to see him. asked the brother who couldn't fight with him, what did this new commander mean, and this kid actually said he didn't know. I asked him who this new commander was and what his personality was, but the kid only knew that his name was Wu Sangui, and he was a close confidant of King Zhao, and the rest was not very clear. This made Li Dongyi depressed, but later said that it was not only himself who was invited, but the leaders of the four major gangs were among the invitees. So Li Dong sent someone to contact the other three overnight, saying that he was waiting for them here, and everyone would go to see the chief of the palace together.

Li Dong was carrying a stomach full of questions and tea, and finally waited for the person to wait. A few people usually don't have any friendship, but there are a lot of filthy things. After nodding and greeting, they all walked towards the palace.

Wu Lao Er was the four big gang leaders who met in the side hall of the palace, and it stands to reason that this does not meet the rules of hospitality. But this is not Wu Laoer's home, he is just a big manager. Second, the four gang leaders were a little unsure of Wu Laoer's pulse, and they didn't know which one he was going to sing, so no one cared about this little thing.

Wu Lao Er sat down in the main seat, and the four gang leaders sat around the next first minute. All of them brought their retinues, but they didn't have the qualifications to come in and sit down, so they were all waiting outside.

After Wu Lao Er let people serve tea, he didn't talk nonsense, and said straight to the point: "I just arrived last night, and I have something to disturb a few helpers today, and I invite a few Haihan." ”

Several people got up one after another and said:

"Your Excellency is gracious."

"Please feel free to tell me what your lord commands."

Wu Lao Er waved his hand to signal a few people to sit down, and then continued: "I invite a few people to come today, mainly because there are a few things I want to trouble you." Looking at the expressions of the people below who were all listening, Wu Lao Er nodded with satisfaction and said: "First of all, this palace was first built, although the things inside were arranged by the palace, but when the prince came, there was no one to do chores." The subordinates who serve the prince can be brought in the capital, but there is still a lack of some who do miscellaneous work on weekdays. I heard that there are several people in this great city, so I am thinking about which one I want to ask to help recruit some reliable people. ”

This is definitely not a good thing. Help the palace recruit miscellaneous servants, you don't dare to stuff a few spies into it, you must know that Jinyiwei is not only managing the affairs of the rivers and lakes, at least investigating a traitor and a secret agent or something. In case a spy from another country is found out, it will really be a yellow mud falling into the crotch of his pants. The four of them looked at each other a few times, and each of them calculated the matter in their hearts. This is not easy to do, and even if it is done well, it may not be of much benefit. The palace generally doesn't care about things, its focus is on managing the resources of the royal family, and working with the government to stabilize the situation in the city. As for Jinyiwei, even if you want to manage it, you have to have that ability, right?

Several people rolled their eyes, each making their own calculations.

Seeing that several people didn't speak, Wu Lao Er picked up the teacup and coughed lightly.

When the four gang leaders heard Wu Lao Er coughing, they all knew that it was time to express their position. When Li Dongyi and the other three were thinking about what excuse, they saw the only woman among the few, Qian Ningwang stood up and hugged his fists and said to Wu Laoer: "Lord Wu, this little girl on an errand wants to go next, I don't know if the adults can believe it?" ”

Li Dongyi, Liu Qingshan, and Tang Qing were shocked after hearing this, could it be that this woman heard something? Otherwise, why would they take on such a thankless errand? With this woman's temperament of not seeing rabbits and not scattering eagles, most likely she knows something that is beneficial to her.

Not to mention the blind guessing of a few people wasting brain cells, Wu Lao Er's heart was also moved when he heard Qian Ningwang's words. Xindao said that this woman is either a spy sent by another country, or she has a strong view of the overall situation. When it comes to brains, I'm afraid none of you are stupid. But the so-called long-term vision is not for everyone, when it is not foreseeable whether the gains will be gains or disadvantages, most people will wait and see rather than face the difficulties.

Qian stared at this person, and when he first came in, Wu Lao Er had already looked at it. It's not because she is a woman, but because she heard Yuan Jiang's meaning last night, this woman has some means, so Wu Lao Er paid special attention to it. At that time, I only thought that this woman was not very attractive except for the beautiful clothes she was wearing. Height is the height of an ordinary woman, and her appearance is the appearance of an ordinary woman, with an average figure and an average speaking voice. The only thing that is a little unusual is that this woman's behavior is not like an ordinary Jianghu person, but a bit of the momentum of a child of a family. It's not the arrogance of an ordinary disciple, but the kind that really has confidence. Wu Lao Er still has no clue for the time being, and he hasn't heard of any disciples with the surname Qian outside.

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Wu Lao Er nodded appreciatively at Qian and said, "Then thank you Qian Gang Leader in the future, and I will have someone send the list of required miscellaneous servants later." ”

"Yes, thank you Lord Wu for giving the little girl this opportunity to make friends with adults." After Qian Ning finished speaking, he sat down, neatly and neatly, without dragging his feet.

Wu Lao Er nodded and continued: "This second is going to trouble Gang Master Li" Wu Lao Er said and looked at Li Dongyi, Li Dongyi hurriedly stood up and said: "Please give orders to the adults, the villain will not hesitate to go to the soup!" ”

"Gang Leader Li, please take a seat." After Wu Lao Er finished speaking, he looked left and right, as if he didn't mean much, and after brewing his emotions for a while, he said, "In the next place, when I first came to Daye City, although I was the commander of the palace and the Jinyi guard, I was not very familiar with the city, so I wanted to ask Gang Master Li to find a place to live in the left side of the palace." It doesn't need to be too big, it doesn't need to be luxurious, just have a small yard. ”

After Wu Lao Er finished speaking, he looked at Li Dongyi expectantly.

Li Dong immediately smiled when he heard this: "What big thing is the villain, it turns out that the adult wants to buy a mansion." Rest assured, the villain built a new house a few days ago, just two streets away from the palace. The yard is not good, but it is also complete, and it can barely be used as a place for adults to stay, and I hope that adults will not refuse. ”

This garden-style villa is Li Dongyi's plan to live by himself, and it looks like almost five acres of land. At the beginning, Li Dongyi took great pains to build this garden, and there is no need to talk about the means of forced demolition in later generations, and I don't know how much money it costs just to make connections. Now that the garden has been decorated everywhere, I just waited for the house to dry and damp and then moved in, and I didn't think that I would want a house here. Although Wu Lao Er said that it doesn't need to be too much, you can't listen to it like that. Since you want to send it, why not just satisfy him. And to be honest, Li Dong is also afraid of the palace no matter how good he is, in case Wu Lao Er is okay in the future, he will stumble and wear small shoes, he can't stand it. So Li Dongyi plans to compromise today, as long as he doesn't want to die, what is the money!

Wu Lao Er hurriedly shook his head when he heard this, "That's not good, that's Gang Master Li's house, how can you win people's love in the future." As long as Gang Leader Li helps him find it, he can buy it at his own expense. When I left Beijing, His Royal Highness gave me a hundred gold coins, and I thought about how I could save money for a house. ”

Wu Lao Er is shameless, King Zhao obviously gave one hundred white jade coins, and when he arrived, it was not half of the meeting, it was ninety-one sharing.

Li Dong almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood when he heard Wu Lao Er say this, and the other three also gasped again and again. Li Dongyi's house, you can call it a house, or call it a garden, it is a four-entry mansion in the garden, rockery, pond, and martial arts field. In other words, in the entire Daye City, except for the fact that the palace does not dare to compare, and the government cannot compare, it is really the best garden. That's it, your new commander of the Jinyi Guard, the dignified head of the palace, actually plans to take it down if it leaks out of a hundred gold coins? One hundred gold coins, Li Tianwang, is not enough just to dot up and down. Such a big garden can't cost tens of thousands of gold coins?

Li Dongyi himself knew that he hadn't spent so much money, and the government had a little bit up and down, which was not considered a bribe, but he only asked everyone in charge to open and close his eyes, and it took almost a hundred gold coins. As for buying land, it was cheap, and it cost less than three hundred to coax and scare, and the rest of the craftsmen, stones, and wood together cost about a thousand gold coins, why so little? Nima helped Li Gang Master, who dared to ask for more, do you want to mix in Dongcheng in the future? The big head is all kinds of flowers in the garden, which are definitely famous from all over the world, and the furnishings in the room, tables, chairs, and beds, which cost more than 4,000 gold coins. In addition, there are some miscellaneous ones, not to mention, in short, a large garden worth more than 10,000 gold coins, Li Dong spent more than 6,000 gold coins to build it. If everyone knew about this, they would definitely scold Li Dongyi for being shameless, and he would simply not give people a way out. Now there are even more shameless people who want to spend dozens of gold coins to buy it, Li Dongyi can't wait to take a piece of shit and put it on the girl's face, it's so special that he is not a person!

The words "for adults" have been spoken, and Li Dongyi really can't be shameless like someone, so he has to grit his teeth and hold on.

"What did the adults say, the villain still wants to be closer to the adults in the future, everything in the house is ready, as long as the adults are willing, they can move in tomorrow." Li Dong had a mouthful of blood in his mouth, and his face had to show a look of respectful smile, and the other three people who watched it kept sighing, this guy can really drink.

Wu Lao Er was secretly happy in his heart, he saw the garden when he came back last night, and guessed that it might be Li Dongyi's. At the beginning, the construction of the Zhao Wangfu was allocated by the palace, and the craftsmen were also top-notch, but all kinds of flowers, plants, mountains and stones were bought cheaply in the county governments below, and it is said that no less than 20,000 gold coins were spent. The guy surnamed Li is probably not cheap for such a garden now. Wu Lao Er, in line with the principle of being cheap and not taking advantage of the bastard, has long been branded with Li Dongyi's idea. Thinking that even if you don't give that place, you won't give it to Taiji, no, I didn't expect this Li Gang Master to be very good, and he did it directly in one step.

Li Dongyi didn't expect that this guy didn't have a penny, and he thought about asking for 5,000 gold coins to give Wu Lao Er a big advantage, but he didn't expect that this guy would not pull out a dime.

As soon as Li Dong recognized it, Wu Lao Er was satisfied, and said again and again that Li Gang Leader should sit down quickly.

This time it was Liu Qingshan's turn and Tang Qing's turn to tremble.

Although the first request of this guy does not cost money, it takes a lot of effort, the benefits cannot be seen, and there are a lot of disadvantages. The second request directly let Li Dongyi go to most of the family property, although the two are also the leaders of the gang, but they are not so lawless, but they really can't come up with so much money.

At this time, a few people only heard Wu Laoer's voice trembling and said: "Gang Leader Li is too polite, too polite, and he is ashamed to be disrespectful in the next and below, but he also licked his face and accepted it, and in the future, Gang Leader Li's friend will be handed over and handed over."

In fact, Wu Lao Er was just pretending, lest Li Tianwang take back the house shamelessly after he went back.

Li Dongyi could only arch his hand and say: "Don't dare, don't dare, the villain has also made a friend of the adult." "Yes, Nima's friend with more than 10,000 gold coins, you must make a good hand

Wu Lao Er settled down, turned his head to Tang Qing and said, "This third thing is trying to trouble the Tang Gang Master, I don't know."

Tang Qing hurriedly said: "Although the adult commanded, although the villain is a poor man, but there are many brothers under him, everyone gets together, there are always three or four thousand gold coins, but I don't know what the adult wants the villain to do?" ”

Wu Lao Er's face was blank, "What do you mean by what Gang Leader Tang means?" The prince explained that the things he was doing in the next place had his own money from the palace, so how could he open his mouth to you. When the Tang gang leader said so, he didn't dare to ask for help. ”

Tang Qing hurriedly apologized, saying that he was not, and he misunderstood the meaning of the chief manager, so please don't care about it anyway. also said that it is to go up the knife mountain and go down to the oil pot, and the things that the chief manager has to do well.

Wu Lao Er scolded him for two more sentences before he reluctantly asked Tang Qing for help. Several people who watched it were stunned, who is this from Nima? When they came, the four of them still thought that if the topic of this chief manager was too difficult, everyone would push it away, why did everyone seem to be begging others to solve problems for themselves now?

Wu Lao Er also saw that this Tang Qing's brain might be less than ordinary people, so he no longer embarrassed him. What's more, this guy's face is full of pimples, and he looks like he is in his fifties, so it's too difficult for the old man.

"It's such a soup gang leader, what about the prince, I like some jade agate and the like, but I don't ask for any rare treasures, just a beautiful and fun picture. Later, I'll ask someone to draw up a list for you to send over, what about you, just get more according to what is written on the list, okay? ”

Tang Qing didn't dare to say that it was not good, he nodded hurriedly and said yes, he was quite happy to see it, but he sat down and pondered the taste, this Nima didn't say how much? Alas, it seems that this blood is also decided. Although you may not be able to spend five or six thousand, are you embarrassed not to prepare one for the general manager? Tang Qing felt this bitterness in his heart

Wu Laoer's question to Liu Qingshan may not cost much, but the difficulty is not low. He asked Liu Qingshan to find a way to get a batch of classics, and he also wrote a list for him, and Wu Lao Er said that some of the lists were not on the list, so the Liu Gang Master had to figure it out by himself. The more books the better, but you can't take the common foolish things on the market and let people know who lost Zhao Wangye.

Liu Qingshan pondered that he could ask the other three people to help with this matter, but he might not be able to get much by himself. After making up my mind, I agreed.

Wu Lao Er is so happy, my father and mother are still afraid of their own hardships, where do they know their abilities. With his own identity and status, he may not be able to fix it if it is too big, and these monkeys who are the kings and hegemons in Daye City are not holding a handle. If Boss Wu saw that he had bought such a big family business in one day, his jaw would not fall to the ground? Wu Lao Er is proud, this is really everything, just wait for the prince to come.

After everything was settled, the four of them hurriedly said goodbye, saying that they had gone to General Manager Zhang Luo Wu to explain the matter. Wu Lao Er also said that a few people were too polite, and planned to leave everyone to have a meal together, where did the four of them still have the mood to eat, saying that the prince would arrive in a few days, and he was afraid of delaying the prince's stay, so he didn't dare to stay any longer.

Wu Lao Er was also satisfied, and sent the guests outside the gate, that politeness, it was simply that Huang Shiren not only exempted Yang Bailao's rent money, but also did not intend to occupy Xi'er, but also spent money to renew Yang Bailao's strings, and then built him a big tile house to move Yang Bailao
