Qin Baichuan smiled, walked out of the room with a plan, and ordered someone to call Tan Jiaotou and Master Xu from the Anyang Ministry of Industry. When Tan Jiaotou and Lord Xu hurriedly came over, Qin Baichuan asked Ji Wuce to take Li Jian to look for monkeys to prepare the carriage first, and after they left, Qin Baichuan narrowed his eyes and said, "Lord Xu, Qin is going out for a walk." ”

"Mr. has just arrived in Gangneung, so it is also time to learn more about the situation." Lord Xu's attitude was still humble: "Do you need officials from the Ministry of Industry to accompany you?" ”

"With the head of the Tan sect, the other guards are redundant." Qin Baichuan waved his hand and said, "I called Lord Xu over to trouble Lord Xu to help me prepare something." The sooner the better, I wonder if Lord Xu can help? ”

"If the gentleman has something to order, the subordinate will never dare to shirk." Lord Xu hurriedly said.

"Well, you ...... like this" Qin Baichuan lowered his voice and quietly explained a few words.

"Ahh Lord Xu was startled, and the cold sweat on his forehead had already burst out: "Mr. Qin! How does this make! If it is spread out, this is a big crime of killing the head, and everyone in the Anyang Ministry of Industry will be connected with the nine clans! Mr. Qin......"

"Lord Xu is really interesting, he was loyal to Qin just now, and he didn't dare to shirk anything, so he changed his mind in the blink of an eye?" Qin Baichuan sneered.

"Mr. Qin, Xiaguan, Xiaguan......" Lord Xu's legs trembled, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

"Sir, this matter is very important, and Lord Xu really doesn't dare to call the shots." Tan Jiaotou's face was solemn, and he was a little confused about Qin Baichuan's intentions.

"Sect Leader Tan, the days you have followed me have not been short, do you think that with Qin's character of not doing loss-making business, he will rebel against the Lord at such a sensitive time? Now that the Lord is helping me resist the pressure of the Martial King, if I do anything to betray, won't I push him to the Martial King's side? Qin Baichuan asked rhetorically: "Qin is not so stupid." ”

Tan Jiaotou fell silent, and Qin Baichuan said again: "I'll put my words here, what I want is the key to the trip to Anyang, and whether you can unify Anyang depends on whether you support it." You also think about it, and after the fact, the Lord learned that you did not obey Qin's dispatch, and I couldn't protect you if he blamed him. Besides, Qin Mouzhi is helpless and the others, but he doesn't want to leak it to others, and when the time comes, the things will be in your hands, what else can go wrong? ”

Master Xu just bowed his head and said nothing, and Tan Jiaotou also pondered for a long time with a pale face, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "What Mr. said is extremely true, the Lord's order is to let me and others completely obey Mr. Lord Xu, do what Mr. Qin said, and behead all the craftsmen involved afterwards. ”

Lord Xu shuddered again, Qin Baichuan didn't feel it frowning, if he killed a few people with ill intentions towards him, Qin Baichuan would not have any mercy, but because of his own affairs, innocent craftsmen were implicated, and Qin Baichuan couldn't accept this kind of thing anyway.

"Can't be killed." Qin Baichuan had a calm face: "The Ministry of Industry of Anyang is responsible for producing patterns and rough embryos, and it is not too late to wait for Qin's craftsmen to come to Anyang to build them." Tan Jiaotou, Qin Mou, who kills innocents indiscriminately, doesn't like it, and you have to change it in the future. ”

"The subordinates are abrupt." Qin Baichuan's tone unconsciously carried a kind of majesty, Tan Jiaotou took a deep breath and hurriedly agreed.

"Master Xu, do as I say." Qin Baichuan waved his hand to let Master Xu step down, and he took Tan Jiaotou out of the Ministry of Industry, and at the door he met with the monkey and others, leaving the Ministry of Industry. Under the guidance of Li Jian, the monkey drove to the theater called Spring Garden.

When Qin Baichuan first came to Anyang, he heard Yan Juzheng say that before his death, Duke Desheng knew that Qin Baichuan had experience in running an opera garden, so he gave him the spring garden. In other words, the current Spring Garden is his Qin Baichuan's industry, and it is currently occupied by Chen Moya, the hall master of the coastal army.

Turning around in the vicinity of the spring garden, I have to say that the private theater garden of Desheng Gong is much more gorgeous than Wangjiang Tower, in the most prosperous area of Anyang, a five-storey building was built, and the decoration of the entire periphery is beautiful. In terms of prosperity, Anyang may not be as good as Jiangling, but here as a sea and land transportation artery, there are no longer a few merchants who come and go, the scale is here, and the ability to handle business is bound to be stronger than Wangjianglou.

After a few circles around the Spring Garden, Qin Baichuan somewhat drooled from his mouth, and when Wangjianglou developed, he said that in the future, it would be possible to take Jiangling as the headquarters and gradually radiate to all parts of the country, Anyang Spring Garden didn't just provide him with a base?

The monkey asked if he wanted to go in and have a look, but Qin Baichuan finally refused, and before He Mei arrived in Anyang, even if he was greedy, he couldn't touch this piece of fat. What's more, if you rush in now, wouldn't it be a surprise? Making a decision in his heart, Qin Baichuan asked the monkey to turn around and walk slowly towards the Anyang Rite Department.

Compared with Jiangling, Anyang is vast and sparsely populated, which directly causes the area of various government departments to be larger than Jiangling, Anyang Rite Department is built near the sea, a spacious courtyard is a resting place for officials on weekdays, and the rear of the Ministry of Rites is a huge dock, there are several painting boats docked in the dock, if there are court officials coming and going, the performance of Anyang Rite Department is carried out on the painting boat, in a sense, it is similar to the model of the sea breeze painting boat.

Stopping at the door of the Anyang Ministry of Rites, Tan Jiaotou casually flashed a token at the officials guarding the door, and asked to see Lord Hu, the official of the Ministry of Rites. The gatekeeper had a look of embarrassment on his face, and he probably knew the token, so he asked Tan Jiao to wait for the first person to enter the door, and he went to pass it on.

What made Qin Baichuan quite annoyed was that it was obvious that there was Tan Jiaotou in front of him to open the way, but he had waited for most of the hour, and the tea had already been changed five times, and Master Hu of the Anyang Rite Department was late. This Master Hu thought that the gray-haired old man saw Tan Jiaotou and saluted first: "Tan Jiaotou, it's been a long time, it's been a long time, the lower official is unwell and recuperating at home, and he is sluggish." ”

"Master Hu." This old man is not young, even if Tan Jiaotou is angry, he is not easy to attack, pointing at Qin Baichuan and saying: "This Mr. Qin is the right-hand man newly recruited by the Lord, and he is as famous as Chen Gongzi...... You should know, right? ”

"Yes, yes." Lord Hu lifted his official uniform and bowed down to bow down.

"Master Hu, don't be polite, Qin is presumptuous." The old man's courtesy was very thoughtful, and Qin Baichuan was embarrassed to get angry, and said with a smile: "Qin's sudden visit disturbed Lord Hu's recuperation. If Master Hu is unwell, please go back, how about Qin casually walking around the Ministry of Rites? ”

"Thank you sir, I can still hold up this old bone." Master Hu had a sad face and said tentatively: "Mr. Qin came to the Anyang Rite Department this time, but he was ordered by the Lord?" ”

"Yes." Qin Baichuan saw that Master Hu wanted to speak and stopped, and said with a smile: "What, isn't there anything difficult about it?" ”

Under Qin Baichuan's persistent persuasion, Master Hu sat on the stool before he spoke: "The old man's health has been good and bad for many years, and the reason why he returned the corpse to the vegetarian meal is nothing more than to keep this foundation for the Lord, otherwise he should have returned to his hometown a long time ago." It's a pity that the old man wants to do his best for the Lord, but a few days ago, a letter from the governor of Beijun Prefecture retained the old man's official status, but handed over the affairs of the Ministry of Rites to others. ”

"Impostor? Beijun Prefecture is so bold, still playing this hand? Qin Baichuan suddenly understood a little, the officials in charge of the Jiangling Rite Department had already retired, but with the help of Lu Yuanxing, Yuan Xiugang impersonated and continued to receive the imperial court's Yulu, it turned out that Lord Hu also encountered the same situation.

"Since ancient times, the rules of officialdom have been like this, and Mr. Qin does not need to be angry." Master Hu resigned himself to fate: "I have already informed the Lord of the situation, but the Lord has not replied, so Mr. Qin came...... Could it be that Mr. Cheng is here for this purpose? ”

"Exactly." Before Qin Baichuan could speak, Sect Leader Tan had already revealed his murderous intentions. Tan Jiaotou's matter of Shen Bijun knows very clearly, in his opinion, the righteous king protected Shen Bijun, and the Qianjin Gambling House got 10,000 taels of silver from the Beijun State Mu, and the Beijun State Mu replaced the officials of the Ministry of Rites, which was clearly the official revenge and demonstration!

"It's good to come for this, and that's good." Master Hu spoke a little verbose, and sighed: "Since that new official took office, the entire Ministry of Rites has been made into a miasma, I hope Mr. Qin can take action to rectify it, otherwise the Anyang Ministry of Rites will be completely finished." ”

"Where's that new officer?" Tan Jiaotou narrowed his eyes.

"Looking at the sky at this time, it should be in the Liufang Painting Boat...... Why don't you take you there? Master Hu said tentatively.

"Let's go, I'd like to see it too." Tan Jiaotou looked at Qin Baichuan as if asking, Qin Baichuan stood up and said.

"Mr. Qin, Tan Jiaotou, please ...... here" confirmed that Qin Baichuan was going to find trouble with the new official, Master Hu's waist didn't hurt anymore, and he didn't pant anymore, so he led the way quickly. Qin Baichuan smiled, this old man's acting skills are really good, I think it was because the new official gave him a lot of embarrassment after he arrived, and he wanted to help him get angry with his own hand.

Scanning Lord Hu's thoughts, Qin Baichuan didn't say anything, anyway, it doesn't matter if it's Lord Hu or the new official, King Yi Youyan said that all the properties in Anyang are divided between the two sides of the two sides, and someone wants to embezzle Qin Baichuan's silver, how can he agree?

Under the leadership of Master Hu, the group first got on an ordinary painting boat, searched on the sea for a long time, and finally saw the most luxurious Liufang painting boat in Anyang Rites. The two painting boats approached, and Lord Hu greeted him a few times, but the officials on the opposite painting boat ignored him at all, so angry that Tan Jiaotou flew up and directly replaced a few blind officials into the sea.

"Mr. Qin, please come here." With the support of Qin Baichuan and others, Lord Hu was also quite arrogant, pushed open the door of the painting boat, and introduced while walking: "The Liufang painting boat is divided into three floors, sir, please see, the first and second floors are ordinary theaters, and the third floor is a private room, which is specially used to entertain dignitaries." ”

"Is this a painting boat?" Ji Wuce suddenly sneered: "I don't think it's any different from Qinglou." ”

Qin Baichuan nodded thoughtfully, Cheng Yanran's Sea Breeze Painting Boat is a skin and meat business, but it still has some literary and artistic atmosphere, but this Liufang Painting Boat is different. The officials inside are all dressed up and demonic, especially those women, one by one is dressed in revealing clothes, some show their shoulders, some show their thighs, and some anxious men and women hug each other in the corner, even the real Qinglou is not so open!
