Zhao Ran walked out of Shuibomen in the northeast of Yingtianfu, rushed to the warehouse area next to the Tanmin fishing village by the riverside, and came to the narrow courtyard of the Dongji Pavilion, where he saw Dongfang Li and Wei Chaozong, as well as Wei Chaozong's sister-in-law Wei Sanniang, as well as Wu Jia and Ding Si, the interrogation experts of the Dongji Pavilion.

As soon as he sat down, before he had time to drink saliva, there was a knock on the door outside, Wu Jia and Ding Si rolled their eyes together, twisted their fat buttocks and scolded and went out, and after a short time, they slammed the door shut, plugged in the latch and came back, and sat back on the chair with a huff.

Zhao Ran asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Wei Sanniang couldn't help but say coldly next to her: "I don't know how, this month there are always some inexplicable people who come to knock on doors and inquire about buying houses, especially in the past few days, almost every day." ”

Wu Jia added angrily: "The yard next door has already been sold, and the price is twenty-eight taels, just like this, the yard is broken, and half an acre of land is connected, twenty-eight taels, hehe." ”

Ding Si also said: "Why don't you just sell the yard, I'm afraid this place is not very safe." ”

The land in the capital is definitely more expensive than that of other provinces, and the best paddy fields can be sold for twenty-five taels or thirty taels of silver per acre, but the problem is that this is just a tidal flat by the river, which cannot grow grain, and can only be used as a warehouse, and the yard is not worth a few dollars, and half an acre of land is twenty-eight taels, which is really expensive.

Several people were discussing here, Zhao Ran touched his nose very embarrassedly, hesitated for a moment, didn't know how to interject, and just offered advice: "It's better not to sell." ”

Wu Jia asked, "Why did Abbot Zhao say not to sell it?"

Zhao Ran said: "This area in the north of the city, from west to east, is not recommended to be sold by the river. It may rise in the future. ”

Ding Si was curious: "Why?"

Zhao Ran explained: "I'm ready to build the bridge, well, Yingtian Yangtze River Bridge." ”

Several people hurriedly asked, and Zhao Ran revealed the matter of building the bridge here, and said: "The bridge is mainly erected on the river surface from Longjiang Pass to Pukou City, so the land over there will be requisitioned, and well-informed people will buy it first, and then sell it to the builder after a hand." As for this side, it belongs to the radiation area, and some landscape avenues and garden gardens will be built in the future, and the land price will also rise. ”

Dongfang Li couldn't help but say, "Is your news true?"

Zhao Ran nodded: "It should be true." ”

Wei Sanniang gave him a blank look: "It should be true, why are you so sure?"

Zhao Ran coughed and said, "Well, because this Yingtian Yangtze River Bridge is what I want to repair." ”

Everyone suddenly lost their minds, and after a long time, Wei Chaozong couldn't help laughing, leading everyone to laugh together. Everyone doesn't know why they laughed, they just thought it was a bit funny.

After laughing for a while, Wei Chaozong said: "Is it possible that we can also buy some good lots in the East Pole Pavilion and sell them to Zhiran when the time come......s?"

Wei Sanniang had a question that she didn't understand, and asked: "Since you know that everyone is either sitting on the ground and raising prices, or turning their hands to make profits, why does Senior Brother Zhao still let it go?"

Zhao Ran replied: "If they don't let them make such a profit, first of all, it will be difficult for me to requisition this land, even if it is requisitioned, it will definitely cost much more silver than now, and the delay will be longer than now, and I will not be able to start the construction of this bridge for a long time, and I will encounter various obstacles after the construction starts." I prepared the money in advance, and not only would everything go relatively smoothly, but I would also save money. ”

Wei Sanniang frowned: "What kind of truth is this?"

Zhao Ran said: "Because so far, the people who can know about this matter in advance are the people I want them to know." ”

Wei Chaozong thought for a while and said, "Zhiran, then I'm not welcome, when the time comes, Dongji Pavilion will put up a piece of land, of course, we won't sell it easily." Senior Brother Li, where are you Sanqing Pavilion?"

Dongfang Li said helplessly: "Of course, I have to buy a piece, since I know it and don't do it, the elders in the pavilion will scold." ”

After talking about this matter, everyone got back to business, and Wei Chaozong said: "Chunfeng and Guanyun have been interrogated for three months, and I originally thought that arresting these two wastes was in vain......

Wei Sanniang interjected: "Actually, it's really in vain, the two wastes have been missing for three months, and the upper three palaces don't even look at it, and it is completely incompatible with the direction of our investigation." Big brother doesn't have to cover it up for me, I admit it, I was out of sight at the time, and the two wastes were indeed going to Beishanfang because of coincidence. ”

Dongfang Li said: "It's not in vain, no matter when, it is right to arrest them, they have a lot of blood debts." ”

Wei Chaozong continued: "The third sister doesn't need to blame herself. Although we went in the wrong direction, now we have a good result, and we have caught another middleman. ”

Here's the thing, after continuous, inhuman, and even aimless and hopeless rigorous interrogations, Chunfeng and Guanyun confessed all the names of the people they could remember in their lives, and in this long list of hundreds of people, there was a name that was recognized by Wu Jia, and this name was Listening to the Wind Dao.

Listening to the wind is the owner of the island of Fallen Leaves in the East China Sea, three years ago, because when he landed in Zhili, he was seriously injured in a brawl with a certain faction, and was arrested by the Dongji Pavilion once, paid a large amount of fines and compensation, and was imprisoned for fifteen days, wrote a letter of repentance, and then let him go back.

At that time, a large number of similar fighting cases occurred in Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Guizhou and other places during the same period, which once attracted great attention from the Dongji Pavilion, and Wu Jia and Ding Si were dispatched to be in charge of the general office, so he happened to be tried.

This kind of case record is generally a breakthrough in case handling. The two fat women subconsciously stared at this listening to the wind and dug deeper, after several twists and turns, the spring breeze and Guanyun confessed, they and the listening wind people were in Yangzhou Qinglou because of a certain Oiran did not know each other, last December, the listening wind people came back from the sea, ready to buy some maids, and when the three of them went to the Qinglou banquet again, the wind listeners once mentioned that he bought two show girls from an old man.

This confession was immediately reported to Dongfang Li and Wei Chaozong, which attracted the attention of the two, but it has been so long, and I don't know if Tingfeng has returned to the East China Sea, but the dead horse is regarded as a live horse doctor, and a group of people found the foothold of the person who listened to the wind according to the vague clues provided by the spring breeze and Guanyun, and found that this person who listened to the wind had not left the capital!

So Dongfang Li, Wei Chaozong, and Wei Sanniang personally took action, and captured this untreated archmage realm Donghai Sanxiu on the spot.

Listening to the Feng Dao people, he confessed that he came to buy the so-called "show girl" - he claimed that he was not wrong, and he believed that he bought and sold maids with real money, and did not violate the laws of the Ming Dynasty, let alone the precepts of the Daomen. However, he knew that this was a joint investigation by the Dongji Pavilion and the Sanqing Pavilion, so he still answered all the questions honestly.

Almost all the problems were focused on the old man who sold him the show girl.
