Chapter Seventy-One: The Night Maiden of Light

In Su Bei's eyes, Tang Mei is just a high school student. Although she already has a character that cannot be changed, her personality is still in the development stage. At her age, it's easy to do something unexpected.

In the middle of the night, she carried a stick to denounce Su Bottle, not really to beat someone, just to fulfill her "promise". To put it bluntly, she's actually playing like crazy.

Based on her performance today, Su Bei seems to have seen some dawn of life, and feels that Tang Mei is not a very boring person.

However, Tang Mei did not agree to cooperate with Su Bei to invest, in her own words, she did not have much money, and she refused to embezzle public funds to make any uncertain investments. In her opinion, Luoyang's real estate is a backwater. Buy and sell again, and transfer tax money for nothing.

"Don't think that you have a lot of ideas, others have already tried your methods. Also, do you think that the emperor's men all eat dry rice? Once discovered, not only will the property be confiscated, but the emperor will also hold the prince accountable. "Taiping Alliance" is not a decoration, and the court is not a place to play scoundrels. Fines according to the rules, unambiguously. Do you know how much you will be fined if you find one? Tang Mei carried a stick and said like a cannon.

Su Bottle pushed open the window and bent his arm on the windowsill: "If you don't invest, forget it." In the future, the property will increase in value, and you should not be blushing. ”

Tang Mei asked in wonder: "Why do you say that it will increase in value?" ”

Su Bottle said: "Haven't you carefully studied the new decree issued by Emperor Wanlong?" Once implemented, the population in Luoyang City will definitely skyrocket. At that time, the relationship between supply and demand will change, and as many people buy houses, housing prices will inevitably soar. It can even rise to a level you can't imagine. ”

"Are you really sure?"

"If I'm not sure, I won't put all my belongings into it."

Later, Tang Mei said that she was going to talk to her fourth brother. Then she walked away with her stick.

Su Bei found that Tang Mei's concept of money seemed to be a little vague. Sometimes, it feels like she cares about money, and sometimes it feels like she has no concept of money.

Usually she spends money a lot, but when she faces the huge amount of liquid money in the three major warehouses, she is not moved. Including the large account book of the family payment that Tang Kuan handed over to her later, and the reserve fund of tens of thousands of taels.

This may be due to the fact that she has never been really poor, or perhaps it is due to the fact that her family values are too heavy. Of course, there may be something else, but Su Bottle hasn't been observed for a while.

In the early morning of the next day, Wu Xiaoxiao, a little girl with a crisp voice and a mischievous smile, woke up Su Bottle in her sleep, because the county lord beckoned Su Bottle to have breakfast together.

Su Bottle was too lazy on the bed and refused to get up, so Wu Xiaoxiao stuffed her cold hand into Su Bottle's neckline.

Su Bottle sat up in fright and scared the little maid, who screamed and ran away.

Soon after, a brass bell-like laughter rang out at the moon gate. It seems that she is not scared at all, she is really a naughty little guy. It is said that Wu Xiaoxiao was born in Liyuan, and she followed the troupe to the city to act, but was accidentally carried away by traffickers.

Although he sat up, Su Bottle was still very sleepy, and watched sleepily as Feng Die came in with a basin of water, and he didn't wake up completely until he finished washing his face.

After everything was ready, go to Qinxiang Xiaozhu and eat their Tang family's big canteen meals. For the diet of the Liang Dynasty, I really dare not compliment. But one thing is guaranteed, there is not so much technology in it.

In addition, Su Bottle also found some business opportunities here, the fine salt of the Liang Dynasty was very expensive, and the sugar was even more expensive. Salt is controlled by the state, so it is naturally more expensive. However, the backward production process is also the main reason for the high cost of fine salt.

The prospect is good, but now Su Bottle doesn't dare to think about technology-related things, and when he thinks about it, he has a splitting headache, as if he is seriously ill. And if you want to do fine salt business, it's not something that ordinary people can do. Without relying on a strong backstage, business is not stable.

After the meal, Su Bei was about to leave, but he suddenly remembered Chen Qianyi's words, so he took out a portrait from his pocket and handed it to Tang Mei: "Look at this person, do you know it?" ”

"It's ...... Fourth brother? Tang Mei hesitated slightly, then recognized the person in the portrait: "This should be the portrait of the fourth brother a few years ago, where did you get it?" ”

No wonder this person is familiar, it turns out to be Tang Kuan......

Su Blinked: "Was your brother so thin before?" ”

Tang Mei smiled and said, "No, he used to be notoriously thin." If it weren't for being too thin, his father would have let him go to the army for training. But somehow, I suddenly gained weight later, probably because of drinking. ”

Tang Mei felt that the portrait was very exquisite, she smiled and decided to put it away: "You haven't answered me yet, where did you get it?" ”

Su Bottle thought for a while and said, "I said that I found it from a trickster's house, do you believe it?" ”

Tang Mei stopped smiling, threw the portrait on the case, pointed to the portrait and asked, "Then what are you carrying it for?" ”

Ever since he threw the payment account book to Tang Mei, Tang Kuan has been mysterious and often can't find him.

That night, Tang Kuan planned to send Xiao Cherry out of Luoyang, but Xiao Cherry suddenly felt discomfort in his abdomen, so he didn't go out of the city, but went to the Tai Hospital outside the left gate of the imperial city. It didn't take long for her to give birth to a girl.

Little Cherry was born prematurely, and I don't know if it was caused by Chen Qianyi pinching her neck, or because she kicked Chen Qianyi violently.

Tang Kuan asked Xiao Cherry, is this child his?

Little Cherry was furious, slapped Tang Kuan twice on the spot, and roared: No!

In fact, the child was Tang Kuan's, but Tang Kuan calculated the time and found that the child was less than a month, so he was suspicious.

And when the child was first delivered, it was very ugly, as ugly as a little orangutan.

But when he saw the child again the next day, he felt very much like himself, and Tang Kuan was very satisfied. But in the afternoon, the little cherry was gone, and the child was gone.

In the past few days, Tang Kuan has been looking for little cherries everywhere, but he can't find them, and Tang Kuan is very sad in his heart. He knows the little cherry too well, although he was born as a dancing girl, but he has a very strong temperament. The famous dancing girl who was all the rage back then was suddenly injured and could no longer dance. The old bustard of Wanhualou asked her to make her debut, but she refused, and the old bustard was on fire and wanted to beat her to death. was heard by Tang Kuan and ransomed her.

The word "debut" originates from Fengyuechang, which refers to the first time a woman breaks her body to pick up customers. During the Three Kingdoms period, it was also cited by some sects.

In fact, there were many people who interceded with Xiao Cherry and wanted to redeem her at that time, and Tang Kuan did not give the most money, but the fourth prince had a big face, and Tang Qiu mediated it, so this matter was done.

As for how Little Cherry met Zhao Tian and what she helped Zhao Tian do, then Su Bottle is unknown. And the above information was still asked by Su Bottle with the portrait to Tang Kuan.

"Hey......"

Tang Kuan sighed deeply: "Sister-in-law, you can also help me pay more attention to it, if there is any letter from her, tell me as soon as possible." I heard you're very close to the Red Flower Society? There are a few capable people there, let them help me inquire, and if they find it, I will give money. ”

……

went to the criminal department to point out, and then Su Bottle took Mei Ran to handle the case, and today he aimed at Zhang Guan, a member of the original household department.

Zhang Guan also went into the wilderness after Emperor Wanlong ascended the throne, but he was not punished, but was only removed from office.

But from the materials obtained from Xue Shilang, it seems that this kid is not clean, and he is also connected with Huang Bingxuan, the former waiter of the Criminal Department.

The reason why no one checked him was because the reporting documents were anonymous. That's troublesome. If it weren't for the urgency of the 100,000 things, those anonymous letters would often not be taken seriously.

In the case of real-name reporting, the whistleblower himself is a witness. It is relatively easy to solve this kind of case. But now it's just anonymous, and Su Bottle has to be confirmed one by one. It's time-consuming, labor-intensive, and you might even have a busy time. And it's very offensive. Xue Pang said, before you find conclusive evidence, don't say that I asked you to check.

As for the matter of Little Cherry, I will go to the Chengfeng Teahouse and say it, and let the Ye sisters do it.

"I didn't expect the disfigurement of Night Frost to be so serious...... Su Bottle shrugged his shoulders: "If it weren't for the disfigurement, I think she would be even more beautiful than my sister." ”

Su Bottle rode a tall horse, and Mei Ran rode the old mule with cotton and linen bedding, which was more than two heads shorter than Su Bottle.

Miss Mei had a pair of almond eyes, and she glanced at Su Bottle fiercely, but she didn't say anything.

Seeing that Mei Ran didn't like this topic, Su Bian smiled: "Lu Sanniang is really an old man, and if she runs the teahouse, I think she will definitely make money." It seems that there are a lot of capable people in your Red Flower Club. ”

Mei Ran said: "Of course. Some time ago, I gathered the rudder assembly, and only a small number of people came to the scene. The real master hasn't come out yet. When they get together, they can scare you to death. ”

Su Bottle pretended to be frightened: "You masters of the Red Flower Society, are all three-headed and six-armed? ”

Seeing Su Bottle's funny expression, Mei Ran frowned and smiled: "That's not it, in short, there are masters." I feel that their martial arts are not below you and me, and some of them are even higher than us. ”

Su Weiyi frowned: "What is the origin of the Great Sect Master of the Red Flower Society?" How could he recruit so many masters to work for him in just a few years? ”

"Then I don't know, you go and ask Chen Qianyi."

"Huh! I guarded the Luoyang branch of the Red Flower Club without asking, to ask an outsider? You're embarrassed to say it. ”

Mei Ran looked angry and didn't say anything.

Su Bottle smiled and asked again, "Just now you said that there were many people who didn't come when you gathered the sect members. Why didn't they come? ”

Mei Ran said: "They are all higher than me." I'm just a helmsman, and they're famous. What kind of deputy sect leader, light envoy, protector, hall master......"

Su Bottle interrupted her: "Co-author, you're just a petty official?" ”

"You want to care?" Mei Ran said angrily.

Su Beihan asked with a smile: "What level is Gu Hong, the official who speaks through the heavens, that night?" ”

"She's taller, on par with the Light. Or rather, she is the Lightmaker. ”

Su Bei found that Mei Ran was in the Red Flower Society, and she couldn't get into the core, and she looked like an outsider.
