Chapter 9: Behind the Prosperity

For example, this Cao Bantou made money in Fengyue Field and used it to exchange for farmland, and even sold several mansions for farmland.

This is so unaccustomed to Gu Zhiqing, who is used to the high housing prices in later generations. Especially when he saw Cao Bantou find the real estate price list in the hands of the Yaxing guys, he instantly felt that the real estate in the Eastern Jin Dynasty was simply the price of cabbage compared with later generations, and he just used a few hundred taels to buy a mansion in Wu County City, the last boundary.

Although I haven't seen the real thing yet, I can get a glimpse of it from the sketch in the hand of the guy in the tooth shop.

Besides, with Cao Bantou's guarantee, Gu Zhiqing doesn't need to worry about anything.

asked a few old singers to accompany Yaxing to go through the title deed procedures, this property, Gu Zhiqing did not buy it for himself.

It is given to these dozens of old singers, one of the purposes of which they came to the land south of the Yangtze River is to own their own real estate and settle down and work.

Helplessly, life is cruel but let them taste the vicissitudes of the world, Gu Zhiqing doesn't want to make them feel like duckweed, helpless.

He wrote the title deed of the property in their names, and even bought some more land for them.

First, I want to let them feel at ease to do things for themselves, and secondly, I also want to suppress the anger in their hearts.

The hatred in the hearts of these old singers is so strong that Gu Zhiqing is a little influenced by them.

For example, just now, an old singer walked in with an account book, found a little flaw in it, and gradually found out a hidden black industry chain from it.

That was the slave trade, and even forced into prostitution. This angered those old singers, they were sold to Fengyue Field in this way, how could they let go of the team who was secretly doing this, so they did it to him.

However, they are still obedient, so they came to ask for instructions before they started. Gu Zhiqing could only nod his head by default, but before leaving, Gu Zhiqing taught them some interrogation and handling skills at the scene, so as not to leave their tails and cause big trouble.

After all, they want to make people not ordinary people, but a team leader with tens of thousands of family wealth, although they regard themselves as the backstage boss, but each of them has a shallow background in Wu County City, otherwise they would not have stood in Taihu Lake, a treasure of feng shui, for so many years without falling.

This time is also an assessment of these old singers, if they can withstand the test, Gu Zhiqing will continue to teach them all kinds of special training skills in the future, until they become female secret spies in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, if they fail, then they must obediently listen to their own words and honestly find a dealer to marry, and then teach their husbands and children at home, don't be nostalgic for the dust and revenge.

In fact, in Gu Zhiqing's heart, he still expects them to miss, at least then their future lives will be closer to people, rather than a group of revenge tools.

However, it backfired, and half a day later, an old singer returned to Gu Zhiqing with an account book and a lot of gold, silver and jewelry.

She put her things on the table and began to pray:

"During the Jianwu period, a total of eleven female slaves were sold, and two of them were forcibly drowned in the water of Taihu Lake because of their ugly appearance.."

"During the Taixing period, the daughters of three northern generals were sold to the Zhou Yuanwai family in Wu County as concubines..."

"In the second year of Yongchang, three female slaves were killed and killed, and 17 people were forced to become prostitutes."

One after another, scenes of black slave girl buying and selling transactions were presented in front of Gu Zhiqing, and Gu Zhiqing's eyebrows were beating wildly.

These people are so mad that they simply treat human life as if they were a mustard.

"How do people deal with it? What clues are left? ”

The old singer replied: "The head catcher has been inspected, and he died by stumbling against the current, and the family has accepted such an obituary and has no objections"

Eventually, they made it this far.

No matter how much Gu Zhiqing didn't want to in his heart, he had to admit that they were indeed qualified to be secret spies.

"Okay, this time you all pass the test, from today onwards, I will officially teach you secret spy skills, so that you can plug in the wings of take-off"

Hearing this, many old singers finally had a strange look on their faces.

Just when Gu Zhiqing was about to turn around and leave here, the old singer called him again: "Childe, we also got a valuable clue from the mouth of that class master."

"What valuable leads?" Gu Zhiqing was slightly stunned, and turned to stare at her.

The old singer took out a piece of white blood-stained paper from her sleeve and put it in Gu Zhiqing's hand.

opened it and took a look, and suddenly a cold expression appeared on the corner of Gu Zhiqing's mouth.

"You're really behind it"

He slipped the piece of paper into his pocket, and then turned to the old singer and ordered: "Continue to follow this clue and make sure that the evidence of the crime is confirmed, I want to see if the garrison will continue to let you do anything wrong when the physical witnesses are all present."

Part of the singer was left for special training, and part of it continued to follow the clues of the black market slave trade in Bantou.

A few days passed in a blink of an eye, and the accounts of the Fengyue places on both sides of the Qinhuai River and the coefficient of the benefits of the enshrinement were sorted out by the old singer.

They are shrewd and capable in doing things, and once again proved their intelligence to Gu Zhiqing.

When that booklet was placed in front of Gu Zhiqing.

Behind the prosperity of the entire Eastern Jin Dynasty, the reality of extravagance and dirty everywhere was completely exposed in front of him.

"These Fengyue team leaders can't help but only have the transaction of Fengyue Fang, as well as the black market female slave trade, and there are even people who specially arrange to buy concubines for dignitaries..."

Especially those who did these things, but they were all superficially sanctimonious scholars, officials, and even relatives of the emperor.

"This Qinhuai Fengyue Field is really a demon mirror" When Gu Zhiqing finished reading the summary of several account books, he sighed without worry.

"Officials and businessmen collude, mountain bandits and soldiers collude with each other, and the accounts here are only the tip of the iceberg of the corruption of the entire imperial court."

In the tone of the old singer, Gu Zhiqing heard the endless resentment and unwillingness in her heart.

"Let's stop here for the time being, you have to relax, accompany me to hand over the property in the afternoon, and invite you to have a good meal by the way"

Gu Zhiqing didn't want to see them swayed by this emotion, so he quickly diverted the conversation.

Hearing that they were going to hand over the property, the old singers' faces suddenly turned red, and it felt like a little daughter-in-law getting married.

As Gu Zhiqing thought, how eager these old singers are to get a home in their hearts. However, this small request was something they had asked for but could not get.

Right now, their house is still in the richest place in Wu County, how can they not be excited.

even regained the posture of the little daughter, and the expression that couldn't help it.
