Outside Yongding Gate, the barracks of all the troops who served the king had retreated, leaving only garbage everywhere, and traces of wooden stakes and stoves piled up on the ground. Li Guodong and Wang Quan's "two-way" army of kings had naturally retreated. Han Dashan took his own Jinyang army to retreat to Shanxi, and Wang Quan personally led the Huai army back to Huai'an.

Li Guodong did not leave himself. He stayed in the capital and was ready to help Emperor Chongzhen. Although Chongzhen was a fool in his eyes, he felt a little unbearable when he saw Chongzhen being fooled by those civil servants. The Ming Dynasty was rotten, and he wanted to push down the rotten dynasty and start all over again. However, for Emperor Chongzhen, he couldn't bear to watch him finally find the crooked tree, but planned to rescue Chongzhen when the army broke into the capital. In the future, he needed Chongzhen's signature.

At that time, the gentry group will definitely counterattack wildly, so let's kill the blood.

Li Guodong dressed up as a rich young man. In order to make him look more vivid, he put on some makeup and whitened his face. He looked fair-skinned, with white complexion and red lips and white teeth. He looked like a handsome young man. Moreover, the makeup was very natural and it was not obvious that he was wearing makeup.

These skills of applying makeup are not difficult for Zhang Shuheng, a special agent of the personal guards who followed him. Almost everyone of the agents knows some disguise skills. Even if they dress up as a man, they can dress up very much like a woman, and there is no flaw, let alone disguising a handsome man like Li Guodong as a young man. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, but his skin was a little darker. He looked like a rough warrior. After Zhang Shuhengyi put on makeup, he turned into a handsome white-faced young man.

"Sir, what's going on? Why are so many people selling rags on the streets of Beijing?" The hammer dressed in a house servant followed Li Guodong. Seeing that the streets of Beijing were very strange, he asked curiously.

"Don't call me the sir, the young master." Li Guodong corrected the mistake of the hammer.

"Yes, young master."

"Didn't those officials cry on purpose? Your Majesty wants them to raise funds, otherwise your Majesty will not even be able to pay the money. As a result, these officials perform clumsy performances in order to cover up their eyes and ears! In this capital, except for His Majesty the Emperor, no one knows that they are all rich and can match the country!" Li Guodong said with a smile.

At this moment, one Ye Bu took it back and reported: "Young Master, Jiading Bo (Zhou Kui, the father-in-law of Zhou Guo) is going to sell his mansion at a low price."

"Okay, let's go and see how he performs! If the price is right, we might as well buy his Jiading Bo Mansion!" Li Guodong said with a smile.

Li Guodong and his group came to the door of the mansion of Zhou Kuizhou, the father-in-law of the Jiading Boss Zhou. Zhang Shuheng handed the famous sect to the servants at the door: "Wuweibo came to visit Mr. Zhou, and I hope to inform you."

Zhou Kui saw Li Guodong's famous sect and did not dare to neglect it, so he hurried out to greet him in person.

Zhou Kui was wearing a torn clothes and walked out of the mansion to greet Li Guodong. When he saw Li Guodong, he bowed: "Wuweibo, why do you have time to visit Lao Jiu's mansion?"

"Zhou Guogong, you and I are the officials of the same court. The younger generation is the newly appointed count of the court. We should visit us!" Li Guodong turned his head and shouted, "Come on, bring the gifts for the father-in-law."

"No!" Zhang Shuheng started, turned his head and waved his hand. The two Ye Bushe lifted a large box from the carriage.

"Is this?" Zhou Kui asked.

"I heard that my father-in-law's family is poor and his clothes are patched. I specially sent a box of new clothes. I hope my father-in-law will accept it with a smile." Li Guodong said with an unimaginable smile on his face.

"This, this, Wu Weibo is too polite." Zhou Kui showed an embarrassing smile on his face.

But no matter what, Zhou Kui still couldn't keep Li Guodong out, so he made a "please" gesture and invited Li Guodong into the mansion.

When he walked into the mansion, Li Guodong looked around and praised the pavilions, towers, gardens, rockery and flowing water: "What a good house. I have lived outside the border for a long time and have never seen such a luxurious mansion. I am afraid that besides His Majesty's palace, your mansion is the most luxurious, right?"

Zhou Kui smiled awkwardly: "Wuweibo has been awarded too much. This mansion is given by Your Majesty, not by me."

Along the way, every servant and maid in the mansion was wearing tattered old clothes, which seemed to make people wonder if they had entered the beggar's nest.

Seeing Li Guodong looking at the maids and servants, Zhou Kui smiled: "Wuwei, my husband's family is poor, so he can only feel wronged by his slaves."

After entering the lobby, after the guest of honor sat down, Li Guodong first talked about things, chatted about family matters, and suddenly asked: "My father-in-law, I heard you are going to sell this house?"

"Isn't this!" Zhou Kui said with a frown, "Your Majesty wants us ministers to donate silver. How can Zhou be as rich as Wu Weibo? Look, Zhou's family is so poor that it is almost impossible to get the blame. What should you do if Your Majesty asks to donate silver, but you can't take it out? If you sign the words and can't take it out, wouldn't it be a crime to deceive the emperor? So Zhou had no choice but to sell the house and exchange some silver for the court."

"My father-in-law is really loyal, it really touched the younger generation!" Li Guodong bowed his hand to Zhou Kui, with a harmless smile on his face, "I just want to ask Uncle Guo, how much money do you plan to sell in this house?"

"I haven't considered this yet... But no matter how I say it, it's all given to the father-in-law of the country, so I'll have to pay at least 10,000 taels of silver." Zhou Kui said casually.

Li Guodong laughed: "Ten thousand taels of silver, this is easy to say. I am willing to pay 15,000 taels of silver to buy your house. My father-in-law, you see, Your Majesty has named me Wuwei Bo, but he has not given a house. I can only spend money to buy a house in the capital, otherwise I will be sorry for the title of Wuwei Bo."

Zhou Kui's face changed drastically. His mansion was worth more than 15,000 taels! The buildings in the mansion were built with high-quality wood, and the garden rockery were all built with huge amounts of money. In fact, Zhou Kui had no intention of selling the mansion at all, but was just showing it to Emperor Chongzhen. He just opened a price of 10,000 taels of silver, but it was just a random talk. Who knew that Li Guodong took it seriously and asked to buy his mansion. If this person was not a fool, then he had ulterior motives. Obviously, Li Guodong was not a fool, and he must have come to take advantage of himself.

Thinking of this, Zhou Kui hurriedly said, "Hey, Wu Wei Bo, this house was given to the father-in-law's mansion after all. If it is sold, wouldn't it be disrespectful to Your Majesty? I just had no choice but to come up with this bad plan. I have been selling the property in the mansion these days. If I can make up enough money, I will not sell it."
