In the afternoon, Qiao Sheng got out of the carriage, looking at the scene of Yucheng, she felt that she had come to the right place. It's more prosperous than the town of Fulai.

"Let's find a place to stay, then have lunch and go out in the afternoon." She said to Shen Lingling Leng Yu.

"Well, I really want our hot pot at this time, it's hot to death, and it's warm when you eat it." Shen Lingling rubbed his hands and said.

I didn't expect Yucheng to be a little colder than Fulai Town.

Qiao Sheng listened to her words and laughed.

Seeing an inn not far ahead, she pointed to the inn.

"That's it."

The two nodded, and followed her.

Walking into the inn, the inn's junior immediately stepped forward.

"Three of you stay in a hotel or eat?"

Qiao Sheng glanced at the menu on the wall, lowered his head and said to the person in front of him.

"Yes, prepare three rooms, and then prepare a table of good wine and food for us."

"Okay, the three guest officers will do it here, and then take the three upstairs to see the room after eating."

Xiao Er led them over to sit, and after filling three cups of hot tea, he went to prepare wine and food.

"Alas, I heard that Meixiang Building has collapsed."

"That's right, the old bustard ran away with the money."

"And what about those women?"

"What else can I do, they're all gone, and there are still a few old ones who haven't left."

"It's a pity." The man looked sorry, and at first glance, he didn't go to that kind of place.

Qiao Sheng listened for a long time, and when he saw Xiao Er coming, he asked Xiao Er about it.

"What's that place?"

Xiao Er heard that she was going to inquire about Meixianglou, so he hesitated for a moment before telling her.

"This Meixiang Mansion is a place for men to spend their time."

Hearing this, Qiao Sheng understood, and then continued to ask.

"Where is Meixiang Building?"

"It's right by the bridge, Madame go that way, and you'll be able to see it then."

"Okay, thank you, Xiaoer."

"What else does Madame have to ask?"

"No, thank you, Xiaoer." After Qiao Sheng finished speaking, he gave a little bit of broken silver as a reward.

Xiao Er took the reward money and left happily.

As soon as Xiao Er left, Shen Lingling said, "Are you going to buy that Meixiang Building?" ”

"I'll have dinner later." She did have that idea, but she still had to investigate.

Shen Lingling understood, and didn't say anything.

After the meal, the three of them took a look at the guest room and then went out together.

Sure enough, after walking less than 200 meters, I saw the Meixiang Building by the bridge. Looking at the outside environment, she felt that this place was very good, and she fell in love with it at a glance.

"Go in and have a look." She raised her feet and walked towards the Meixiang Building.

Shen Lingling nodded, and followed up, only Leng Yu frowned.

The door of Meixiang Building is open, if it was before, the door at this time should be closed, only open at dusk.

Qiao Sheng walked in and felt that this place was really spacious, it must have been very lively before, but why did it become like this?

"Who are you?"

The voice suddenly sounded from the left, and Qiao Sheng turned around and saw a thirty-four-year-old woman wearing heavy makeup, raising her eyebrows slightly.

"Who is in charge of this building now?"

Jiuniang twisted her eyebrows and said, "It's under the control of the official master, what is the lady asking about this?" ”

"Nothing." After Qiao Sheng finished speaking, he turned around and left here.

Shen Lingling followed closely and asked her, "Where are we going now?" You don't want to go to the official here, do you? ”

"Go meet this official and get to the bottom of it."

"Would you like to buy something?" Shen Lingling asked.

"No, you don't." Leng Yu's voice sounded from behind them.

Qiao Sheng glanced back at Leng Yu, and then acquiesced to his words.

"Bringing gifts to seem a little less powerful, and when the time comes, others will definitely raise the price, so it's better to go empty-handed."

Shen Lingling heard her say this, and felt that it made sense, so she nodded her head.

"Then it's better to go empty-handed."

"Well, it's still early, let's go look elsewhere." She suddenly changed her attention.

Shen Lingling was silent this time, she must have her reasons for doing this. But she glanced at Helian Yu, a family is a family, and thinking about things is so complicated.

I walked around in Yucheng and didn't see any idle storefronts, and the only suitable one was Meixianglou.

"Forget it, let's go find that official." After Qiao Sheng finished speaking, he walked back.

The official of Yucheng was surnamed Chen, Qiao Sheng took Shen Lingling and Leng Yu to the Chen Mansion, and the housekeeper of the Chen Mansion led her to the hall.

"Wait a minute, my lord will come later, Xiaocui, add tea to them."

After the butler finished speaking, he turned and went out.

In the backyard, Lord Chen was playing with his favorite concubine, and the housekeeper came to the door, listening to the sound in the house, and appeared outside the door in a proper manner.

"Master, there's a visit from Mrs. Qiao outside."

Lord Chen in the room frowned slightly when he heard that it was Mrs. Qiao who came to look for him. When the favorite concubine around her heard that it was a woman who came to find an adult, she didn't follow.

"Master..."The pet concubine snorted, and her voice was numb enough.

Lord Chen looked at the favored concubine like this, and really didn't want to leave, so he instructed the housekeeper outside the door.

"Let her wait."

When the butler heard this, he turned and went back to the hall.

"I'll come back later, Mrs. Qiao will wait here for a while and have some snacks."

Qiao Sheng smiled and nodded, and frowned slightly after taking a bite of a snack.

Seeing this, Shen Lingling asked, "What's wrong?" Isn't it tasty? ”

"Well, it's not as delicious as Sister Shen's." Qiao Sheng's coquettish tone.

"Then I'll go back later, I'll do it for you." Shen Lingling said dotingly.

The butler listened to their conversation and frowned slightly. Dim sum is the best dim sum in Yucheng, how can it not be delicious, it seems that this Mrs. Qiao is not small.

Thinking about it, he turned around and went to find the master again.

"Sir."

Lord Chen, who was interrupted from his good deeds, was very irritable, so he simply dressed and came out. Opening the door and looking at the housekeeper at the door, Lord Chen's face was pale.

"Where are the people?"

"The hall." The butler bowed his head slightly.

Master Chen shook his sleeves and walked towards the hall.

Walking into the door of the hall and seeing the two stunning beauties, Lord Chen's eyes immediately widened, swept away the previous unhappiness, and walked over with a smile.

"I don't know which one is Mrs. Joe." Master Chen asked after sitting down.

"Me." Qiao Sheng said.

Hearing the voice, Master Chen looked over and asked with a smile, "I wonder what Mrs. Qiao is looking for this official?" ”

"I'm here for the affairs of Meixiang Building."

"Mei Xiang Lou?" Lord Chen's face was not very good when he heard this, and then he asked, "I don't know what Mrs. Qiao means." ”

"I heard that Meixiang Mansion is now owned by Lord Chen."

"Yes, it does belong to the official."

The old bustard ran away with the money, and took the girl he liked, so that he caught and must have chopped off the old woman's feet.

"Then I don't know what Lord Chen plans to do with Meixiang Building." Qiao Sheng didn't plan to say the purpose directly, but to get to the bottom.

But what kind of person is Lord Chen, he can be regarded as an old treacherous and cunning, and he doesn't have any eyesight, so he would have lost his official position a long time ago.

Master Chen smiled: "Mrs. Qiao wants to buy Meixiang Building, right?" ”

"Yes, Master Chen said a price, and I will buy it if it is suitable." Since Master Chen has said it, there is no need for her to beat around the bush.

Master Chen frowned and thought about it for a moment, then stretched out a hand with five fingers outstretched.

Looking at Lord Chen's hand, Qiao Sheng frowned slightly. She budgeted for it, that building couldn't be worth 50,000, and her budget wasn't that much.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Lord Chen picked up the teacup in his hand, took a sip of tea, and then played with the teacup.

"Is Mrs. Qiao too expensive?"

"I've been to see that building, 50,000 taels is not worth it, I will give 10,000 at most."

"Mrs. Qiao, this is cutting the flesh of the official."

"In that case, then I won't cut the flesh of adults." After Qiao Sheng finished speaking, he got up and prepared to leave.

Seeing that she was about to leave like this, Lord Chen frowned slightly, but he didn't stop her.

"Since Mrs. Qiao dislikes expensive, forget it."

"Then farewell." After Qiao Sheng finished speaking, he left without looking back.

Watching the two beauties leave, Lord Chen's heart was itching, and he almost impulsively stopped people, but thinking about money, he couldn't bear it.

Leaving the Chen Mansion, Shen Lingling frowned and chased after Qiao Sheng.

"Why don't you discuss it, maybe you can lower it."

"Wait! Meixiang Building is like that, he has already done what Master Chen wants to do, obviously that building is useless to him. ”

Shen Lingling still didn't understand what this meant, and turned his head to ask He Lianyu.

"What does she mean by that?"

"I told you you don't understand either." After Helian Yu finished speaking, he turned around and went to the other side.

When Shen Lingling saw him walking over there, he stopped him: "What are you going to do?" ”

"Something, you and Ah Sheng go back to the inn first." Helian Yu finished speaking and left.

Qiao Sheng frowned slightly as he watched him go farther and farther.

Shen Lingling frowned, not worrying about Ah Sheng, so he didn't follow.

"Ah Sheng, do you want to continue shopping or go back?"

"Go shopping, buy something to take home."

"Okay, let's go!"

The two went shopping like this.

Helian Yu's side, after he left here, he entered the Chen Mansion.

in the hall.

"Send someone to find out where that Mrs. Qiao came from, and find someone to watch their every move."

"Yes." The butler nodded, turned around and went to do as the master instructed.

Helian Yu hid in the shadows, then turned around and went to Lord Chen's study.

In the evening, Qiao Sheng and Shen Lingling went back to the room to rest after dinner, after shopping all afternoon, she was already tired, fortunately there were no high heels here, if she wore high heels for an afternoon, her feet would probably be wasted.

In the middle of the night, Shen Lingling came out, she knocked on the next room, then pushed the door open, and found that there was still no one in the room, so she frowned.

"Why hasn't Brother Helian come back yet?"

At this time, when Lord Chen was sleeping soundly in the Chen Mansion, he suddenly woke up coldly with a knife on his neck.

"If you dare to scream, let your head fall to the ground."

Master Chen immediately shut up, and then asked in a low voice: "Heroic man, what do you want?" ”

"There's a woman surnamed Zhang who asked me to take your dog's life."

"Zhang Ziniang?" Lord Chen's eyes widened, and his eyes were about to pop out.

You're a stinky woman, you dare to pay someone to kill me.

Thinking of this, Lord Chen calmed down.

"I'll pay double the amount of money for you to kill that woman." "Two hundred thousand taels."
