Chapter 145
"Shopkeeper Li?"
When Fan Xiaodao saw the carriage behind Li Cai, he laughed in his heart and said, "You are so polite. We have just changed our boss at the six doors. We have repeatedly banned food and pick up the food. We will not accept gifts during the holidays this year, let alone the New Year and the holidays are not the same."
Li Cai said, "Captain Fan misunderstood. The carriage is not a gift, but all the rules and regulations, fire security drills, and various inspection records since our Baihua Building have been operating in full accordance with the standards of the Daming Entertainment Industry. I visited two of you a few days ago. Unfortunately, you are not here, so I had to deliver them to my door."
Fan Xiaodao laughed, "It turns out that it's not a gift, so I won't invite you in. If you have anything, I'll talk about it tomorrow." As he said that, he was about to close the door. Li Cailian took the lead and stopped him at the door, saying, "That's right, I'll report to Captain Fan about the murder of Baihualou."
Fan Xiaodao's face darkened, "Didn't it mean that he would come to the yamen to say that?"
Li Cai said: "We are making preparations for the two of you. In the past few days, we have taken advantage of the closure of business and have made profound reflections. At the same time, we have done a lot of work with the Wei Gang Master. The Qianwei Gang Master has reached an understanding with us. Tomorrow, I will send a memorandum of understanding to the yamen. In this case, the Wei Gang Master has withdrawn the case!"
"What?"
Fan Xiaodao was shocked and finally seized an opportunity to take the opportunity to investigate Baihualou. Unexpectedly, before the start was started, Wei Baoguo withdrew the case? Needless to say, with Baihualou's strength in the capital, it should not be difficult to make a small Beggars' Sect surrender, and there must be hidden information.
Fan Xiaodao said, "After all, there are two murder cases, and life is at stake. What's more, this case has been handed over to six doors. I'm afraid you have the final say whether to withdraw the case or not."
Li Cai did not refute, "The reason is this, but we still understand the procedure. Mr. Wei was originally weak and took tiger and wolf medicine. In this regard, the leader of the Wei Gang and his family can confirm that people have birth, old age, sickness and death, and good fortune every day, but Mr. Wei happened to appear in our Baihua Tower."
"Where is the Wei family's wife?"
"She suffers from hysteria and takes medicine all year round. She is mentally abnormal, but she is also a person with a miserable life. When she saw her husband die suddenly, she couldn't think of it for a moment, so she jumped into the well and committed suicide. Our Baihua Building did not stop it in time, and she also had faults. Out of the spirit of humanitarianism, we will also bear certain social responsibilities."
Fan Xiaodao was upset. This was a collusion between the two sides, and they were ready to turn big things into small things. If this was the case, Liushuo really had no choice but to deal with them. He waved his hand, "I understand, are you here to disgust me on purpose?"
Li Cai smiled and said, "Captain Fan is so serious. We don't mean that. These days, our boss has seen that the brothers work so hard, so he specifically asked me to express his gratitude." As he said that, he pulled out a carefully mounted sign from his arms, "This is our VIP card in Baihua Building, which contains 10,000 taels of silver. Captain Fan and his brothers worked hard to handle the case. If they are tired and tired, they can go to the building to relax."
VIP card?
Fan Xiaodao was speechless. You can think of it. If you really want to give it, why don’t you discount it? He refused and said, “Ten thousand taels, even if I agree, I will not agree if I am afraid we will get it. I will be kind enough.”
Bang!
The door is closed.
Li Cai looked at the dark door and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
All of this was Master Yu's idea. It took only three days to resolve the crisis. You should know that the business in the Northern Zhou Dynasty was frustrated and their capital chain had serious problems. In the past few months, they have relied on the cash flow of Baihualou to maintain liquidity.
...
"Removal of the case?"
Zhao Xing looked in disbelief, "In recent times, we have been very frustrated by him. We finally seized a counterattack opportunity. How could we withdraw the case for them?"
Fan Xiaodao reposted Li Cai’s words again.
After hearing this, Zhao Xing said dejectedly, "If this is true, I'm afraid it's just the result. However, Baihua Tower is insignificant in Princess Taiping's industry. Logically speaking, we found Baihua Tower, and they should be busy clearing their relationship with Baihua Tower. Even if they are closed for a few months, and when the limelight comes, they will come as they do whatever they should do, but they put pressure on Lord Yang and find ways to reconcile. There must be something strange about this."
When the two were puzzled, Niu Dafu pushed the door and came to Zhao Xing, "Zhao Xing, borrow some silver flowers."
Zhao Xing frowned, "You are a rich second generation, please borrow money from me. The sun comes out from the west, right?"
Niu Dafu said, "Don't mention it. I was scolded by my mother for three days. I blamed him for being ruthless and for not stopping him. Not only did I not give money, I also cut off my original fifty-two-month supply, saying that the money was given by my father, and I wanted to go with my father. It is hard for a good cook to cook without rice. If I don't have much, I will borrow fifty taels."
Zhao Xingdao, "I have half a year's salary, I don't have money."
Fan Xiaodao asked, "Where are your money?"
Niu Dafu said, "Has I been mingling with Miss Zhong every day recently? That girl spends too much money and is very generous. She looks good, fun, delicious, and wants it. She has no idea about money. Even if I have a mountain of gold and silver, and have no investment, I will eventually have a day to eat up."
Zhao Xingdao: "Look for Fan Xiaodao, the prince just raised his salary."
"There is still this?" Niu Dafu's gossip suddenly became angry, "It's so unfair. After all, we share the same hardships. Why do we only raise you but not me? Xiaodao, come and hear what happened to this matter?"
Fan Xiaodao spread his hands, "I didn't mention it, and I didn't agree. Your Highness took the initiative to raise me."
Niu Dafu said, "Then do you agree?"
Fan Xiaodao said: "I reluctantly agree!"
Seeing that he couldn't borrow money here, Niu Dafu complained: "I didn't expect it to be so expensive to pick up a girl."
"You can't stop soaking?"
Niu Dafu said: "I have invested so much. Now I withdraw. Wouldn't the previous investment be wasted?"
"You must learn to stop losses in time." Zhao Xing warned him preventively, "Miss Zhong's identity is different from you, and his martial arts are even more different. As for appearance, ahem, if I were you, I would never have such an idea. What do they mean by you?"
Niu Dafu was trapped in love and couldn't extricate himself, saying, "Maybe, I'm more talented, right?"
"Then have you held her hand?"
Niu Dafu's face turned red, "It's soon, it's soon." After that, he grabbed the door and walked out.
Zhao Xingdao: "I think there is something wrong with that Zhong Xiaoxian."
Fan Xiaodao was stunned, "Do you feel this way?"
Zhao Xing analyzed: "It's just intuition. Whether it's identity, appearance or martial arts, it's a top-notch existence in the world. How could he be interested in a nonsense like Niu Dafu? Don't forget that she is a woman who comes out of the Lock Dragon Well."
A person who can discuss the world of great harmony with the prince and the way of dominance, who has such an extraordinary background, how can he be so careless about his own feelings? This is not only incomprehensible, but also incredible.
If something goes wrong, there will be a demon.
Zhao Xing recalled, "When he came out of the temple, the monsters lost their previous violentness, and their eyes were full of awe. At first, I thought it was because I had learned the sword technique that could restrain them, but later, after thinking about it carefully, it was very likely because of her."
Before Fan Xiaodao could answer, Zhao Xing slapped his thigh, "I understand!"
"What do you understand?"
"Money!" Zhao Xingdao, "They tried every means to protect Baihualou because of money, and they had no money!"
Fan Xiaodao was still thinking about Zhong Xiaoxian, but Zhao Xing talked about Baihualou and sighed, "Your thinking is really jumping."
Zhao Xingdao, "Do you still remember begging for money? We had already abandoned halfway through the investigation. There was the power of the Princess' Mansion. Later, the Princess Qian took advantage of Princess Taiping's relationship and has been selling official positions recently. Logically, as members of the royal family, they wanted to make money, but they were so unscrupulous, and even those who wanted to make money like begging for money, which shows that they were very short of money."
Zhao Xing said again, "Baihua Tower is a place of fireworks, and there are 1.8 million taels a year. For us, it is a daily business of making money, but for them, it is just one of the few pieces. If you don't even let go of this little bit, then there must be something wrong with the 'cow'."
Fan Xiaodao said: "Your analysis really makes some sense. Since that's the case, we also understand what to do next."
"oh?"
"My idea is that since there is a hole in money, we have to chase and fight hard, bite it tightly, tear it open, and I want to know what happened that makes them so short of money."
Zhao Xing nodded, "Let's start with Wei Baoguo first."
Li Cai sent the news that they had reached an agreement and would come to Liusanmen to withdraw the case tomorrow. They were going to find the leader of the Wei Gang overnight, and they had to see what conditions they had reached. Fan Xiaodao said, "It seems that you don't have to sleep again tonight."
The two of them found Wei Baoguo's residence according to the address provided. It was a three-entry yard with a housekeeper, a gatekeeper and a maid. They didn't look like the home of the elders of the Beggars' Sect. Officials of the fifth and sixth rank in the capital may not have such a big house.
The servants went to report, and the two of them were waiting in the doorman.
Fan Xiaodao was full of surprise.
Zhao Xing was not surprised, "After all, he is a well-known figure in the world. What's so strange about having such a house?"
"The problem is that he is the Beggars' Sect!"
"What's wrong with the Beggars' Sect? Don't underestimate the Beggars' Sect. Their monthly income is not necessarily inferior to yours, let alone the leader of the entire Beggars' Sect? People have different professions, but there is no distinction between high and low. Even if they are beggars and are refined, it is amazing."
Soon, the servant led the two into the study. Seeing Wei Baoguo's face was rosy and sweating on his forehead, he said to the two, "I don't know that the two constables are coming late at night, and they are in a farewell welcome. Please forgive me, forgive me!"
Zhao Xing's nose wrinkled and said, "We are visiting late at night, which is probably a disaster for the leader of the Wei Gang?"
Wei Baoguo has the smell of a woman's body, and it is a unique powder in Baihualou. As soon as he met, Zhao Xing smelled it. Seeing his red face, he looked like someone who had just experienced the pain of losing his son?
Wei Baoguo's old face turned red and said, "What's wrong?"
