Chapter 149(2/2)

Sun Wuzuo hurriedly came to the front yard and said, "Master Yang, the autopsy results of Li Manniu show that he did die of poisoning!"

When Yang Deshui heard this, he was shocked and said to Fan Xiaodao: "You know what to do!"



The lanterns come on.

Baihualou, which has been closed for several days, has red lanterns hanging high and firecrackers blasting.

The water sign at the door reads: Baihua Building reopens with great discounts, drinks are 50% off, prices are discounted, and services are not discounted. Another water sign reads: Baihua Building has hundreds of new girls, Baihua fairies, and hundreds of flowers are blooming.

These two actions spread throughout the capital in less than half a day, and Baihua Tower, which was originally deserted, became crowded with traffic. Discounted drinks and the new Baihua Fairy attracted countless admiring guests.

When it comes to attracting customers, Baihualou ranks second, and no one dares to rank first.

Private seating on the second floor.

Master Yu and Yushi Xue, accompanied by several girls, exchanged glasses and drank happily. Li Cai, the shopkeeper, was serving tea and water beside them, serving them carefully.

"Thanks to Mr. Xue, our Baihua Building can operate so smoothly."

Xue Bing caressed the singer beside him and said proudly, "It's a pity that Brother Yu is not here. You have never seen how embarrassed the group of people at Liumen are today. They are like grandsons."

Li Cai also said, "Master Xue will succeed immediately if he takes action. I saw the whole process!"

Xue Bing said, "Humph, what's wrong with the prince? In the palace, who doesn't know that your majesty ranks first and the princess ranks second? When we leave the palace, the princess ranks first. As for the prince, he can still keep it even if he doesn't worry about everything.

It’s quite a good title.”

Master Yu said: "If it weren't for the recent shortage of money in the house and the inability to make overturns, the princess would not want to bother you, sir. When I go back, I will tell the truth to the princess and give Sir Xue a credit!"

Xue Bing picked up the wine glass and said: "Easy to say, easy to say." He dismissed a few singers and said, "Brother Yu, I heard that there is a vacancy in Jiangyin County, Changzhou Prefecture recently. Brother, I have been in the capital for more than ten years and I have enough qualifications.

Well, if you want to go further, you always need to have less experience as a leader. I wonder if Brother Yu can give me a nice word in front of the princess?"

Master Yu was slightly startled, Xue Bing was not a light-hearted person. Previously, the transfer of Jiangyin County Magistrate to Hangzhou Governor was only decided a few days ago. Unexpectedly, Xue Bing was well-informed.

A seventh-grade magistrate does not have a high official position, but Changzhou is a rich place, and Jiangyin is the richest of the rich. Being a magistrate of Jiangyin can reap the benefits without having to be a magistrate in a poor and poor place. It is a hundred times better.

However, during the previous transfer, the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang had given a discount, recommended a candidate, and also sent one hundred thousand taels of silver. It was these one hundred thousand taels that temporarily solved the urgent financial emergency. As a censor, you can do it for me.

Isn’t it a bit embarrassing that the public should take credit for such a trivial matter and be proud of it?

Master Yu was a little embarrassed, "I'm just afraid that I'll be arrogant, and the princess..."

Xue Bing said, "Who in the capital doesn't know Brother Yu's name? He is the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the appointment and dismissal of official posts below the fifth rank in the court all go through Brother Yu's hands."

Master Yu said, "These are serious words! I am also working for Her Royal Highness, so I should be careful in my words and deeds!"

"What about my entrustment to you?"

Master Yu said, "I will mention it to the princess. If it can't be done, Mr. Xue can't blame me."

Xue Bing laughed, "If we can't do it, it's because the princess has other plans. If it doesn't work, we have to settle for the next best thing. I heard that the prefect of Bijie is very old..."

Master Yu sneered in his heart. After all, the fox's tail was exposed. He knew that someone was eyeing the position of Jiangyin magistrate. He deliberately said it because he wanted to be the magistrate of Bijie. Bijie was a barbarian country with poor mountains and rivers, and there was no oil and water. But the magistrate

After all, he is also a fifth-grade official. He was directly promoted from a censor to a prefect. That was two consecutive jumps.

Yu Ren said, "Master Xue, you are so calculating!"

Xue Bing said, "When the time comes, Master Yu's contribution will be indispensable, and I will bear it in my heart."

The rest of the people neither agreed nor refused, saying: "We will discuss this matter later. Tonight we reopen the Baihua Building and have a Baihua Fairy gimmick. Why don't you just have fun here tonight, with a hundred golden flowers for you to choose from?"

!”

Xue Bing laughed loudly, "Then I don't want to disturb Brother Yu's elegant mood, so let's have a dog-tail flower!"

Flower fairies, flowers bloom.

Peonies, peonies, chrysanthemums, lotuses, all kinds of flowers are there, but there is no dogtail flower.

Yu Ren said: "Dog tail flower? What a refreshing and refined taste!"

Xue Bing said, "A hundred flowers are as good as a hundred flowers, and a hundred officials are as wonderful as a hundred officials. However, these hundred flower fairies are all used by Brother Yu to make money. No one cares about the dog-tail flower, but it is still a flower after all."

, Brother, I’m not greedy either. No one cares about me, so I ask for it, otherwise it’s just a waste of money?”

Master Yu sneered in his heart, it seemed that he still couldn't worry about the Prefect of Bijie.

"Okay, dog's tail flower, just dog's tail flower. Even if there isn't one, I'll make one for you."

Xue Bing, drunk, took a girl to the backyard.

The rest called a subordinate and asked: "Who is the prefect of Bijie?"

The man also flipped through the file and said: "My surname is Wu, and my name is Wu Guanyun. He was a Jinshi at the age of fifty. He has served as an edict, a scholar of government, and a general judge. He is nearly seventy years old. He has been a magistrate of Bijie and has just taken up his new post."

.”

"Are there any other missing children?"

The subordinate said: "Thirteen roads in the two capitals, and 317 prefects, large and small, are all available for the time being."

The rest of the people thought for a while and said: "That Xue is a mad dog. If his mouth is not blocked, he might bite something out. If there is no gap, then find a way to get it out. Bijie Wu Zhifu Year

You’re nearly seventy, it’s time to die, right?”

The subordinate said: "I understand, little man."

After that, he disappeared into the night.

The rest of the people walked to the front yard and saw that the reopened Baihua Building was booming and its prosperity had returned to its former glory, even worse.

The shopkeeper Li Cai came to him, smiled brightly, and said: "Master Yu, it's only the second watch, and the turnover tonight has already been 10,000 taels. Especially the newly acquired batch of chicks were auctioned for sky-high prices.

If this continues, after closing, today’s turnover will reach thirty thousand taels!”

"Thirty thousand taels?"

Yu Ren thought about it and was afraid it was still not enough.

The batch of goods from the Northern Zhou Dynasty was worth two million taels. It was originally borrowed from a usurious loan. It would have been an ordinary usury. However, many dignitaries also invested in the shares. The agreed three-cent profit would be at the end of the month.

There is a shortfall of nearly 200,000, and if the dividends are not paid by then, something big will happen.

Originally, according to the previous plan, the Northern Zhou Dynasty negotiated peace with the Ming Dynasty and paid 10 million taels in compensation. At that time, the Northern Zhou Dynasty would return 5 million taels, which would not only fill the huge financial gap, but also make a net profit of more than one million yuan. However, all this was

Those two little brats Fan Xiaodao and Zhao Xing got into trouble. Not only did they not make any money, they also owed a lot of loan sharks.

Those people are all cannibals, and they don't dare to do anything to Princess Taiping, but they are very capable of dealing with the rest of them. Even if they can escape smoothly with their martial arts, they will not be able to survive without their power.

What else does it mean?

Li Cai saw him frowning and took the opportunity to say, "Master Yu, the second-place peony from Baihua Fairy is still waiting for a price. How about I send it to your room?"

Others asked, "Where is the peony?"

Li Caidao said, "When the Prince Consort heard about this, he called Mudan over first."

Yu was so angry that he couldn't get anything done as a wealthy consort, but he was only trying to get a head start by playing with women. No wonder the princess said he was a loser. He waved his hand, "No need, making money is more important."

There was a noise outside the door.

The rest of the group looked at Li Cai, who was also confused and said, "I'll go down and take a look."

Yingying Yanyan, the bustling Baihua Building welcomed another group of uninvited guests on the first night of its reopening.

The leaders were none other than Fan Xiaodao and Zhao Xing, who led a group of policemen and rushed in carrying weapons. One of the policemen shouted: "Baihua Building is suspected of violating regulations and will be sealed according to the imperial decree!"

"Isn't the lockdown lifted?"

The policeman held up a seizure sheet and said, "We are also following orders, everyone else has dispersed!"

When everyone heard this, they felt regretful and went to the counter one after another, "I paid the money, please refund it!"
