The warm pavilion is burned red.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Nanya Meng Yimeng asks to see you." The eunuch Qixi walked in quickly with small steps, bowed down and reported.

Emperor Yongxi lay on his side on the soft collapse, holding a book in his hand, pinching a piece of tea and throwing it into his mouth, chewing it slowly.

"Why is he here?"

"The slave doesn't know." Qixi kept his head down, not daring to raise his head.

"Announce it." Emperor Yongxi put down the scroll in his hand, straightened up and sat up, took the silk handkerchief handed by the palace maid, and wiped his mouth.

Meng Yi wore a long robe and a wide coat, and swaggered into the warm pavilion, very casually, as if he was in a self-sufficient house.

"Meng Yi has seen Your Majesty!" Meng Yi did not kneel to Emperor Yongxi, but arched his hand and bent down slightly, which was considered a salute.

"You lazy nature, how can you have time to see me?" Emperor Yongxi also waved his hand casually, "Get a stool for Mr. Meng." ”

"I'm here to find Your Majesty for something."

"You're actually here to find me again, that's really strange, tell me about it?" When Emperor Yongxi heard this, he couldn't cry or laugh, you are really direct, you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall if you have nothing to do.

"I have a new disciple, he is about to get married, the object is Lao Ye's apprentice, and there is still a lack of a house."

"Isn't it going to be for me to give you this house?"

"I know that you are slamming the door, I have a house of my own, and I want to give it to him, but it is now in the hands of others, so I came to ask Your Majesty."

"Why is your house in the hands of others, why don't I believe what you say?" Emperor Yongxi was surprised.

"Pingkang Fang No. 3."

"Wait, you're not talking about Liu Qian's house as the salt transport envoy from Ningzhou, right?" Emperor Yongxi was stunned, he was very concerned about Ding Xian's case, so he naturally read the file and remembered this house number.

"That's right."

"This house belongs to Liu Qian, why did it become yours?"

"Liu Qian's house is not clean, this house originally had another owner, and the transaction was not between Liu Qian and the original owner, it was someone who forcibly seized it, and finally a house of nearly 300,000 taels was priced at 200,000 taels, but in fact, it was bought secretly for less than 30,000 taels!"

"If there is such a thing, this Mr. Meng can go directly to Jingzhao Mansion to report it?" Emperor Yongxi said, the dispute over the ownership of a house can't be committed by him as an emperor himself, it's too bad.

"If it weren't for the people of Jingzhao Mansion who were complicit with them, how could this house be sold and transferred to Liu Qian at a low price?" Meng Yi snorted coldly.

"What the hell is going on?"

"Things have to start from 30 years ago, when there was a merchant named Qian Dengke in Nanchu, he came to Luojing to develop, so he fell in love with the house of Pingkangfang No. 3, and paid for it, after the renovation and repair, there was an accident at his home, and he needed to go back to Nanchu to deal with it, so he put the title deed and deed of this house and some valuables in the safe of the 'Huitong' cabinet shop, and paid the custody for ten years in one go, according to the ' Huitong's custody rules, the customer who does not come to pick up the items after the deadline can be automatically extended until the items he entrusts to keep are not enough to pay the storage fee, at this time,' Huitong's cabinet can post a notice to the outside world, at least three months before they can dispose of themselves, and for the Qian Dengke stored about the land deed and house deed of the No. 3 house in Pingkangfang, they obviously did not follow this rule, this house is worth 300,000 taels, according to the storage fee of 1,000 taels a year, it can be stored for at least 300 years, but this is less than 30 years, they secretly let Jingzhao Mansion privately issue a fair certificate with an ownerless thing, and then re-transfer the transaction, the cost is only 30,000 taels, only one-tenth of the original value, I am afraid that this kind of thing has been done more than this, if it is not for this Qian Dengke's voucher to luck into my hands, I really don't know that this 'Huitong' cabinet, which is known for its integrity, is actually doing such a dirty and dirty thing in private! "What Meng Yi said was righteous indignation and scolded 'Huitong' shamelessly.

"Mr. Meng, how did this voucher get to you?" After listening to this, Emperor Yongxi's face was solemn, this matter is not handled well, it will really trigger a series of chain reactions, and now the taxes of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty and the distribution of officials' salaries are carried out through the 'Huitong' cabinet.

Once something happens to this "Huitong", it will not affect himself, but also the stability of the overall situation of the imperial court.

This open cabinet, play finance, once the "integrity" has a crisis, it is the most terrible, although the custody business does not involve access to foreign exchange business, but who knows whether it will pull out the radish and bring out the mud?

"Are you sure there was no misunderstanding in this matter?"

"Is it necessary for me to lie to Your Majesty in such a matter?" Meng Yi said, "If Your Majesty can't do it, let the Imperial City Division check it?" ”

"Seven Joys!"

"The slave is here."

"If you pass on my words, check it out, and report it quickly." Emperor Yongxi naturally didn't listen to Meng Yi's words, he had to check it himself and confirm it.

"Mr. Meng, this house doesn't belong to you after all, it's ownerless."

"I have taken away the Qian Dengke safe token and the custody contract signed at the beginning, and there is also a list of custody items, so these things naturally belong to me, Your Majesty, according to the law of the Great Zhou, I am okay with saying this, right?"

"You are not the immediate family of this Qian Dengke, and it does not belong to the inheritance, unless he himself appears and completes the transaction with you, it will be counted!"

"Your Majesty, this is a scoundrel, right?"

"This is a protective measure to avoid someone snatching the victim's property, you can take the things in custody with the certificate in your hand, but if you want to make them yours, you also need to go to Jingzhao Mansion to complete the transfer, which also requires the payment of deed tax!" Emperor Yongxi snorted lightly.

"Your Majesty, this account is really shrewd!"

"The title deed and the house deed are in my hands, as for when I will go to Jingzhao Mansion with the original owner to transfer the property and pay the deed tax, that is a matter for both of us, and the court has no right to interfere, right?" Meng Yi is not stupid, if he wants the government to intervene, there must be a bitter master, and without a bitter master, the land deed and house deed belong to whoever is in his hands.

Emperor Yongxi stared at Meng Yi for a full three seconds, and he knew that what Meng Yi said was really like this.

Unless the original owner or the descendants of the original owner show up with evidence that can prove their identity, otherwise, according to the law, the court really cannot interfere.

The transfer of the house is not complete, it is voluntary between the two parties, but under normal circumstances, the sale and purchase of the house will still be transferred, otherwise the original owner of the house may regret it at any time and take the house back?

If the imperial court interferes, the imperial court itself will be suspected of openly swallowing up private property, and as a dynasty that has not yet reached the end of the mountain, it will not do such a thing.

Because if you do it, you will lose the hearts of the people.

"Your Majesty, if you want me to go to Jingzhao Mansion, then I'll go." Meng Yi is not afraid, it's good if things get bigger, he doesn't want to make things big now, and if you don't want to make things bigger, then just make things bigger.

"Mr. Meng, stay here, it's just a trivial matter, if it's true, I'll solve it." Emperor Yongxi hurriedly stopped Meng Yi.

"I haven't played chess with Mr. Meng for a long time, it's better to hit the day than to choose a day, why not talk about a game?" Emperor Yongxi invited, "The investigation also takes time. ”

"Hmph, is Your Majesty allowed to play tricks when you lose?"

"Don't worry, if I lose, how about giving you a house?"

"No, I just want my own." Meng Yi refused, courteous to others, he must ask for something, he knows the emperor's temperament too well.

……

The lights are on.

Qingyi dressed as a man, with the image of a scholar, Luo Xing, dressed plainly, looked like a guard.

Scholars carry guards, which is the configuration that Luo Jing sees the most nowadays.

They are like this, walking on the street, it is not easy to attract too much attention, after all, next year's spring competition, there are many young students in Luojing.

For the sake of safety on the road, many well-to-do families will naturally spend money to hire one or two accompanying guards to ensure the safety of the road and in Beijing.

Luo Xing's four-grade cultivation is very in line with this character.

This scholar is talented, Luojing is prosperous, and it is naturally a place where Goolan gathers the wind and moon.

Therefore, the Spring Festival has also driven the consumption and development of Luojing's cultural and entertainment industry.

Before the big competition, there is also an activity after the selection of flowers, and now it has begun to warm up, but this year's war in the southeast, many people in Yangzhou can't come, and the activities after the selection of flowers are only afraid that they will lose a lot of color.

This is an event in which both the official and the non-governmental participate, the official is the Great Zhou Imperial Court Teaching Workshop Division, and the folk are basically signed up for the night primrose and the famous Goolan Yuan and Washe in Luojing City, and there are also independent candidates.

Anyway, it's an entertainment talent show, one of the few major entertainment events in the world.

It is said that the ghost city Fan Lou will also send people to participate, but generally before the competition, it will not be announced to the public, once the candidate falls into the ghost city Fan Lou, it is also an influence on the ghost market.

There are many women from Yangzhou in Hualiu Lane, they are all Qing Qi people, and they come to Luojing for the reputation of "Queen of Flowers", so they are not selling their bodies.

The post-flower contest is limited by youth, above 28, below 12 (inclusive), dignified appearance, proficient in music, dance, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, must be a virgin.

Hualiu Lane has a lot of small courtyards, the yards are large and small, the basic layout is a two-story building, then a small patio, plus a backyard and several ancillary rooms, mainly kitchens and utility rooms and servants' rooms.

Most of the small buildings are hollow-shaped, and if they have two floors, they can generally accommodate six small masters and servants, almost five to six girls.

This kind of people who don't have the old bustard to help attract guests, they need to attract customers by themselves, and they are responsible for their own profits and losses, so they rely on their own abilities.

There are red lanterns hanging at the door, and there are a few on the lanterns, which means that there are several girls living in the courtyard, and the lights are on, which means that there are guests.

This is called "lighting the lamp".

If the girl doesn't want to pick up customers, she can remove the lantern, or she can light the lantern directly, and so on.

Luo Xing also made up for this knowledge before he came, and if he hadn't visited this kind of place, he would be afraid of making a fool of himself.

It's Qingyi, she seems to understand the doorway very well, after all, she has been in Nanya for ten years, and she often goes in and out of such places to handle cases, so she naturally understands it clearly.
