The heaven and the earth are not as big as the king, and if the king is not there, the teacher is great, and if the teacher travels far away, the gentleman is the greatest. The so-called gentleman is not the antonym of a villain, but the son of an authentic gentleman, that is to say, the third prince who is still a villain, is now the largest in Suzhou City, so Shi Yanli is not worried about anything, and after pretending to be distressed for a long time, he finally agreed to His Royal Highness's request.

The third prince ruthlessly ordered the old ladies and eunuchs who had just rushed from the palace to stay in the mansion, and left the mansion with Shi Yanli and a few guards. Seeing the little master disappear at the door, those eunuchs and grandmothers trembled with fear, thinking that Lord Tisi was not there, so they immediately turned the sky upside down, and couldn't help but secretly begged Lord Tisi to come back quickly, but where did they think that it was Fan Xian who wanted to use the identity of the third prince to oppress people.

The three princes rarely have such an opportunity to play, of course, they are not in a hurry, the group changed their outfits, pretending to be a rich boy on the trip, Shi Xianli was very frightened and was arranged to play the role of an eldest brother, the third prince is naturally the younger brother, riding around Suzhou City in a carriage, watching some good scenery, and watching a few flower boats on the lake, the interest of the three princes finally weakened.

"It's too cold this day, and the girls are wearing too much, where can you see the romance?" The noble little boy frowned, "Go and choose the place first, I have to bother with the business that Fan Xian wants to do, otherwise if you take me around, I'm afraid he will be angry." ”

Shi Yanli secretly said in his heart, it should have been like this a long time ago.

The problem of site selection is easy to solve, anyway, it is the most lively place in Suzhou City, and the group is desperately trying to stick into it. I looked for the most lively street in the bustle, and I searched back and forth, and found that there were many green buildings. It has already developed into a familiar place, and this sets the general direction.

Then in this large area, pick the building with the clearest face, and look at which one looks at the atmosphere. This group of people simply fell in love with the object, it was a restaurant, occupying the best location on this street, a very luxurious three-story building, the building was open, and the back could faintly look at the courtyard wall, covering a huge area.

The third prince waved his hand: "If you look for it again, I think this location is the best." ”

Shi Xianli's heart was so happy. He took care of Baoyue Tower in Kyoto and did business for a few days, but he never thought that he would take the prince to pick a store location, and he would be so profitable, rich and powerful, and he would do things cleanly.

But he stood at the door of the restaurant, and he still moved his mind. whispered: "This place is too eye-catching, I see that there is always a background in the back." ”

The three princes were stunned. asked, "Who else in this world has a bigger background than mine?"

Shi Yanli opened his mouth wide, didn't say anything for a long time, forcibly swallowed the mouthful of blood, and said meaningfully: "What if...... If there are people in the governor's palace, or the governor's family, although His Highness doesn't care about anything. But it is always necessary to give these officials some face. ”

0JD6SsBLQnMU

Although the third prince is young, he is not a fool. Thinking that this is indeed the reason, Governor Xue Qing is not a character that he can easily offend, and besides, he has come all the way from Kyoto, and he wants to take the face of the officials in Jiangnan, but I am afraid that this matter is not very good.

But he looked at the location of this restaurant, the more he looked at it, the more he looked at it, the more wonderful it became, he wrinkled his thin eyebrows and thought for a long time, and said: "I have to ask, I want to let this feng shui treasure go, Fan Xian is not distressed, I will be distressed for many days." ”

This line of people has been outside the restaurant for a long time, just pay attention to the pattern, then block the entrance of the restaurant, do not eat and smell the fragrance, although Suzhou City is mixed, but there is no such thing, this pedestrian at the door of the building pointed, whispering, immediately attracted the attention of the people on this street, just look at the other party brightly dressed, the guard is powerful, not like the characters on the rivers and lakes, so the street merchants are restrained to see the lively gossip heart.

Only the shopkeeper in the restaurant had no choice but to come out, put on a professional smile, and asked: "Everyone, do you want to go into the building to try the signature dishes of our store?" ”

He looked at the people in front of the building who seemed to be from other places, and their identity should be good, so he should be careful, this bamboo garden pavilion has its own background behind it, but the people who do business naturally have a heart of seven tricks, only talking about business, and there is no trace of blaming the other party for blocking the front of the building between words.

Shi Yanli was stunned for a moment, and said with a gentle smile: "I'm really embarrassed, I was distracted for a while, and the shopkeeper is not strange." ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly connected the Taoist officer politely. The third prince was impatient to take his time so slowly, and said, "Go in and sit down." He led the group to the building, and at the end he lost a sentence: "Shopkeeper, arrange a quiet room, there are some things to be discussed." ”

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself that your brother didn't speak, why did the little one speak first? Shi Yanli coughed twice, covered it up, and followed into the building.

Everyone had not yet sat down in a room in the middle of the building, and the shopkeeper himself came into the room to greet them. The third prince didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly: "Shopkeeper, do you sell this building?"

The shopkeeper was taken aback a lot today, and secretly said that the tone of this little boy's speech was really not small, but he didn't know how many difficult things he had dealt with in this life, and said with a humble smile: "Little boy, the business in this building is good at the moment, and the owner doesn't seem to have the meaning of turntable." ”

"Dare to ask the owner's noble surname?" Shi Yanli secretly complained that His Highness was anxious, and asked gently.

The shopkeeper was neither humble nor arrogant and said: "The owner's surname is Qian." ”

......

......

After the shopkeeper withdrew, Shi Yili frowned and said: "When I first came to Suzhou, I couldn't figure out the relationship at all, and I didn't know where the surname Qian was. ”

The third prince stood up and pushed open the window in the box, his face couldn't help but be stunned, as if he had seen something strange.

Shi Yanli was suspicious, walked behind him and looked out the window, and couldn't help but be stunned for a while.

I saw that outside the window is the back garden of this bamboo garden pavilion, there is a flat lake in the garden, although the lake is not wide, but it is better in quiet. There are courtyard walls on both sides to separate it from the downtown area, and the lawn in the courtyard is still green, but you can imagine the beautiful scenery in spring.

"It's like ......"

The two of them sighed at the same time. It's like that. Of course, it means that the setting behind this building is very similar to the setting of the Kyoto Baoyue Building, especially on those lawns, if you build some quiet courtyards, I am afraid that the Kyoto Baoyue Building will become twins.

Looking at the back garden of the Bamboo Garden Pavilion. The two managers of Baoyue Building before and after were moved, and they were greatly moved - this building must be bought!

"Buy it!"

The third prince and Shi Yanli spoke at the same time with a tacit understanding, and then smiled, the rest of the matter is simple, and when I go back, I will find a way to inquire about the background of this bamboo garden pavilion, I just hope that the other party's background is not too strong, if it is involved

If you are too high-level officials, things will be more troublesome.

The third prince is young. But I don't know where so many sighs come from: "If Fan Sizhen is here, I am afraid that I will have to fight a lawsuit with the owner of this restaurant, instead of pointing at the other party's nose and scolding the other party for shamelessly plagiarizing his own design." ”

Shi Yanli thought about it, Second Young Master Fan was indeed this kind of temperament, and couldn't help but laugh.

"What are you laughing at?" the third prince glared at him, "My second cousin is even more yin than my eldest cousin...... Of course, neither of them is a good guy. I played tricks and bullied me when I was young. Yin my shares, don't forget, you also have a part in this matter!"

Shi Yanli cowered and dared to answer.

The group had a meal in the box, and they greatly appreciated the cooking skills of this restaurant, and the third prince even moved the idea of recruiting the original chef together.

After the meal, everyone was about to leave. found that the shopkeeper hurriedly walked into the box and saluted again with a sweaty face. While wiping his sweat, he said in a soft voice: "These guest officers, I said about buying a house before, can you discuss it again?"

The third prince is so strange, this building is obviously doing very well, and when he asked earlier, the other party was obviously defensive, why did his attitude suddenly change so much at this time?

Shi Yanli asked tentatively, "Shopkeeper, what does this mean?"

The shopkeeper laughed dryly twice and said: "The owner heard about this before, and when he thought that the business was not as good as in previous years, he simply released it because of the expensive bids, and only hoped that the distinguished customers could give a suitable price, and the other is ...... I also hope that after the change of hands, the guests can take care of this building. ”

Shi Yanli became more and more strange, and was about to ask something, but the third prince preemptively smiled and said: "This is natural, we are also business people, of course we will do a good job in this building, but you said the right price before, I don't know what price is more suitable?"

There was a sudden silence in the box.

The shopkeeper's eyes were stunned, and he thought that he dared to ask this young master to let himself bid, but the owner didn't have an order, how could this price be paid? Looking at the owner's meaning, he must have planned to give it away for nothing, but the other party didn't seem to notice...... Want to make your own bid?

The sweat on his forehead is seeping faster and faster, his face is red and swollen, it seems that the weather in early spring has turned into a dog season, and after holding it for a long time, the shopkeeper finally mustered up the courage and stretched out four fingers!

Shi Xianli was stunned for a moment, and the guards in the room were stunned again, thinking to themselves 40,000 taels? No matter how famous the lion head in this place is, there is no such lion opening his mouth!

The shopkeeper saw that the other party did not answer, and he was even more frightened, so he quickly withdrew his three fingers, leaving an index finger standing up pitifully.

Shi Xianli almost vomited blood again, this price is really weird, he didn't need to speak, in a blink of an eye, it changed from 40,000 taels to 10,000 taels, after thinking about it, he felt that the price was actually good, nodded and said: "Although 10,000 taels of silver is not much...... But ......"

The shopkeeper's legs went limp, and he almost cried, and said, "This gentleman, wrong, wrong." ”

Shi Yanli was surprised: "Why is it wrong?"

"Yes...... One thousand taels. The shopkeeper barely squeezed out an innocent smile, "It's not ten thousand taels." ”

Shi Yanli swallowed back the third mouthful of blood today, and before he could say anything, the third prince had already said, "Take the contract." Looking at his expression, it seems that he has a bamboo in his chest.

The shopkeeper seemed to have been prepared, and immediately went out to invite a Chinese person recognized by the government to enter, and began to write the deed, and when the number of transactions was written, the third prince said with a sweet smile: "Sixteen thousand taels, I don't take advantage of you, I will give you two more percent of the silver." Because presumably your owner is not willing to sell it, these two percent of the silver will be counted as buying medicine for him. ”

Although the three princes are wearing civilian clothes today, they naturally reveal a sense of nobility. Although the shopkeeper was surprised, he didn't dare to say much, wrote the deed, and both sides pressed their fingerprints. Make an appointment to meet tomorrow in the silver building.

Carefully sending the group out of the restaurant, the shopkeeper sighed, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with some fear, calmed down and walked to the third floor, walked into a quiet room, and handed the title deed in his arms to a young man.

This young man has a clean face and gentle eyes, and he is the young master of the Ming family who appeared upstairs in Hangzhou West Lake. Ming Lan stone.

He took the deed and glanced at it, a trace of hatred and disappointment flashed in his eyes, and his backhand was a slap in the face! There was a snap, and the shopkeeper covered his cheeks and looked at the young master timidly, not knowing what he had done wrong.

"Useless things!" Ming Lanshi was angry in his heart, but his face was still gentle, but there was a cold wind in his words. "I can't give you any money!"

Today he also coincided with his meeting, after the family meeting. Ming Lanshi has been staying in Suzhou, suddenly heard the shopkeeper say that someone wants to buy a house, as soon as he heard the other party's description and dress, the successor of the Ming family vaguely guessed a little, and then Xiao Er overheard the name of Fan Sizhe, he immediately confirmed the identity of the other party. reacted very quickly, and was ready to send this bamboo garden pavilion to the ......

Unexpectedly, the other party was not at all cheap, 16,000 taels of silver. That's not a small amount!

Not only did this amount not take advantage of the Ming family, but it was much higher than the price on the market, but how could the Ming family be short of this money? Ming Lanshi wanted to take advantage of the fact that the third prince didn't know who the owner of the Zhuyuan Pavilion was, and give this building out first, even if it was a cheap sale.

His main purpose, of course, is to curry favor with the other party, and if the other party does not recognize this villain at all in the future...... This paper deed was sent to Kyoto, which is the evidence that Fan Xian and the third prince took advantage of their strength to buy private property, and it will be easy to find a reason for the eldest princess to fight the royal lawsuit in the future!

Unexpectedly, the young third prince refused to take advantage of this...... Could it be that the rumors in Kyoto are false, and this prince is not as greedy for money and ruthless as the legend says?

Ming Lanshi fell into contemplation, and once again found that these people that the family had to face this time were really a little elusive. After closing his eyes and pondering for a long time, he commanded softly: "Lord Fan's mind is very simple, this is to open a brothel...... If you go down, you are not allowed to sell girls to them in any building, and no matter how high the price is!"

The shopkeeper responded, and then said with a wry smile: "Young master, but our own girls don't sell it...... There are many people in this Suzhou city who are doing this business, and those people definitely don't want to offend Lord Fan. ”

"Do they have a good girl in their hands?" Ming Lanshi smiled and said, "The good girls are all in the hands of our Yuan family...... Let them buy it, some leftovers, where to attract guests. ”

A carriage left the Bamboo Garden Pavilion, and the surrounding merchants didn't know that the Tang Ming family had eaten one

It's boring, Suzhou's most famous restaurant will change hands tomorrow. Although Shi Xianli has rarely experienced dirty things, he finally came to his senses at this time, frowned and said: "Your Highness, it seems that your identity is known to the other party. ”

A trace of boredom flashed on the childish face of the third prince: "Those people are also smart." ”

Shi Yanli thought about it for a while, and couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness, the price offered earlier was one thousand taels, why ......?"

"Why do I want to increase the price myself?" the third prince sneered: "Nothing to do, either a traitor or a thief, guessing my identity, I can't wait to give this building with both hands...... What about that day? They ask for it, but I'm afraid it's not as simple as this building, people put on smiling faces, of course we can't slap them backhanded, but there is no need to put their faces up and make love to them...... How many people in this world are qualified to have a relationship with me?"

Shi Yanli shook his head and said: "I don't know who the owner behind the building is, but it's really quick to see the opportunity." ”

The third prince said: "It doesn't matter who the other party is, if you want me to take advantage of him, you must be the one who wants to take advantage of me, you have to remember this matter, go out for a walk in the future, don't take advantage of others indiscriminately, beware of causing trouble to Fan Xian." ”

Shi Xianli was really impressed by the little prince in front of him, and exclaimed: "Your Highness's words are simple, but the truth is very profound. ”

The third prince scolded in a childish voice: "Don't slap my ass." finally pretended to be a civilian, and was seen by others, and I was really unhappy. ”

Shi Yanli thought to himself. You are going to buy a house as soon as you enter the building at a young age, this kind of tone, where do you want to hide your identity? Faced with the cheapness of tens of thousands of taels of silver, he could not help but not take advantage of it, it seemed that it was too far from the ruthless temperament when he was doing Baoyuelou, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

I don't know if the third prince saw his expression, and continued: "Fan Xian said a word, but if I go to take advantage of the people of the world, I will always take advantage of the court by the people of the world in the end, and I ...... If you let the court be taken advantage of. That's a big fool who is willing to pay his own money for others to spend. ”

Shi Xianli was silent, secretly worried about the door master, as a prince, but he set up such a thought, which was naturally telling the prince that the interests of the imperial court were ...... The future is your own interest, so what does that mean?

Now the crown prince is still in power!

......

......

I didn't notice the panic in Shi Li's heart. The third prince smiled slightly and said, "The teacher said that a gentleman loves money. There is a way to take it, and the wealth of the king is hidden in the world, so why take it?"

Shi Yanli swallowed back the fourth mouthful of blood that had been secretly wounded today, staring at the green flags that kept floating outside the car window, and suppressed the hidden fear in his heart. Treat yourself as if you hadn't heard it at all.

"Doing business can be done as a hobby. The third prince grinned and said, "Old history." You're a lot less daring than my two cousins, and you're not a businessman. ”

Shi Yanli moved his body, let the slightly wet clothes on his back breathe, and said with a wry smile: "Your Highness taught you a lesson." ”

The third prince shouted to stop the carriage and said, "Qian Zhuang has arrived, you go to do something, and I will go back to the house first." ”

A wicked smile appeared on the child's face, and he didn't know what he was proud of.

Looking at the carriage in the distance, Shi Yanli sighed secretly, shouted that the two guards who followed him were waiting outside, tidied up his clothes a little, and then walked towards the Taiping Qianzhuang Division.

Not far behind him, the newly opened merchant money village was cold, but it exuded the atmosphere of an upstart, and the brand-new green cloth seemed to mock Shi Li's pedantry and ignorance.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The chicken is double yellow, eat half of it first. Not to mention what new and surprising things Shi Xianli will encounter in Qianzhuang, just say that outside the jurisdiction of the Inner Treasury Transshipment Division, which is very far away from Suzhou City, the huge convoy carrying more than 100 people is struggling to move forward in the cold early spring rainy day.

The Inner Treasury Transshipment Division is different from the Salt Division and the Tea Division, first of all, there are more affairs and greater profits, and he is the only transshipment division in the three divisions that occupies the field. After the imperial court carved out a piece of land in northern Fujian many years ago, it gradually became a special zone, and the area was larger than a small state, and the status was very special.

Because of the fear of the inner reservoir manufacturing process flowing abroad, so in the inner library of the security work, the Qingguo court really made a bloody investment, for the inner reservoir jurisdiction, Qingguo carried out a fully closed management, a total of five blockade lines, the outermost is the Jiangnan local state army and water division, the four lines set up by the Qingguo military and the Supervision Institute each two, mutual supervision, like a multi-layer juice cake sandwiched.

As for the outer transportation line, in addition to the strict supervision on the surface, I don't know how many secrets have been sprinkled in, and countless pairs of bright and secret eyes are staring at Cui Jiaming's family or some other agent giant.

Rao is Qingguo spent so much strength, still can't stop the greedy eyes of the rest of the country, in the past few decades, the inner library does not know how many times, and Qingguo also paid a very heavy price for it, first of all, the garrison and defense need to spend a lot of silver taels every year, and secondly, in the past few decades, for the prosperity of Qingguo lost thousands of lives - stealing intelligence and the fight against commercial espionage, in this world is particularly bloody!

This war seems to never end, and the Supervisory Yuan is the institution that has paid the most in this war, and the undercover agents in the dark do not know how many have died, but fortunately, it has ensured that Neku is still safe until today.

Yan Ruohai, the former host of the four places, and Qin Shan, the brother of the current Kyoto garrison Qin Heng, were the direct principals who arranged the defense work at the beginning, and the two once boasted that the defense power of the inner library, in addition to still being helpless to the great master, even if it was only a mosquito with the smell of perfume, could not fly out.

The convoy was undergoing the final inspection, Fan Xian lifted the curtains, looked at the hydraulic armature by the river not far away, his eyes narrowed slightly, although it was only some initial and rough industry, but the demand for power was already inseparable from water.

A chill appeared in his squinted eyes, and he didn't turn around, and said gently: "I brought you in, just for my own safety, I don't want you to go to the various workshops to see the excitement, if someone finds out, you should know how serious the consequences are." Even if you are a super powerhouse on the ninth grade, you may not be able to escape the pursuit of the forces here...... And even though I'm only half injured, I'll take action myself. ”

Behind him, Begonia, disguised as a maidservant, smiled and glanced at the Sisi girl beside him and didn't say anything.
