The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 231 Li Tai's Suspicion

"Speaking of Xiao Jing, I haven't seen him for a long time." Li Ke closed the folder in his hand and raised his head and said.

"Isn't he in Lushan Academy with Sizi recently? I heard that he is still investigating the case of Lushan Academy." Li Chengqian also put down the book in hand: "I don't know how he is doing with the investigation."

"The case has been solved, and yesterday a son went to my house to ask for someone, saying that he would send someone to the prisoner's hometown to have a look." Li Tai said.

"Oh? So fast." Li Chengqian looked at Li Tai in surprise.

"Can you hurry up? My son has asked for someone to help Xiaojing investigate the case. Think about it, the people under the father's hands are not easy to investigate such a small case." Li Tai said angrily : "I see, it's true that the girl was not allowed to stay in the university. Also, let me tell you something, Xuanwulou knows, that guy Qiandui took Xuanwulou away, and now in the Daozhengfang area, Almost all belong to Xiao Jing's family."

Hearing this, Li Chengqian narrowed his eyes: "Xuanwulou? I remember, it seemed to be the property of the Sixth Uncle, right?" Regarding Xuanwulou, both His Majesty Li Er and Li Chengqian knew that the original owner was Li Yuanjing. How could His Majesty Li Er not pay attention to a money-making machine in the city?

"Why did you bring this up?" Li Ke didn't understand what Qiandui's acquisition of Xuanwulou had to do with the Sixth Emperor's Uncle Li Yuanjing.

"The relationship between Xiao Jing and Uncle Six is ​​intriguing." Li Tai laughed.

"Qingque, how do you know?" Li Ke looked at Li Tai.

Li Chengqian also looked at Li Tai curiously.

"Sizi told me, she asked me to send someone to investigate Uncle Liuhuang." Li Tai replied: "It turns out that the third floor of Chang'an, Xuanwulou, Yanlai Building and Jubao Building are all under the name of Uncle Liuhuang. Industry, don’t you find it strange?” Li Tai said: “Uncle Six Emperors is outside the vassal, but he has such a large family business in Chang’an City, except for the third floor of Chang’an, how many of those we don’t know about? Except for Chang'an, how many other Uncle Liu's fiefdoms are there? Don't forget, Uncle Liu's fiefdom has been changed twice. He is a vassal king, what does he need so much money for? Accepted, Yan Lailou Qiandui helped Qin Yuxin collect it, the third floor in Chang'an, now only the Treasure Tower is left for the Sixth Uncle."

"Qingque, what do you mean?"

"Ake, this kind of thing, you can only understand it." Li Chengqian interrupted Li Ke's words: "Qingque, since Sizi asked you to investigate, you should pay more attention to these things. If you directly ask Xiao Jing , and he won't tell us."

"That's right, by the way, what happened to Sun Yaoting, who was making a fuss in the court a few days ago? Now that the Duke of Wei has returned to the court, what does he think?" Li Ke looked at Li Chengqian: "I heard that Xiao Jing was treated ten years ago. Poisoning, Sun Yaoting is also involved in it."

"Except for the day when Wei Guogong met his father and handed over the tiger talisman when he returned to the court, he has not been out of the house until now, cultivating himself at home." Li Chengqian said with a helpless smile: "In this battle with Tubo, Wei The Duke’s military achievements are even higher, I guess the Duke of Wei closed his house because he is afraid of leaving rumors and being criticized.”

Li Chengqian could only give such an answer, and he dared not say the words of the master of meritorious deeds, even though he knew that this was what Li Jing was afraid of.

"Forget it, right and wrong, it has nothing to do with the three of us now, how about going out of the palace together in the afternoon?" Li Chengqian laughed.

"Okay, I haven't had a good time in Chang'an City for a long time, tell me, where are you going?" Li Ke asked with a smile.

"Xuanwu Chou." Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Now Xuanwu Chou is Xiao Jing's property, if you don't go to have a good meal, how can you be worthy of Xiao Jing, right, doesn't Qingque want to eat food from Xiao Jing's house? It's all the same anyway."

"It's different, brother, are you planning to eat for free?" Li Tai looked at Li Chengqian with contempt.

Li Chengqian laughed: "You can see all of this."

A notice of closure had been posted in front of Xuanwulou's door. After Xuan Shijing arrived at Xuanwulou, he handed over the horse to the boy at the door, and led Gao Jun up to the fourth floor.

From the first floor to the third floor, there is almost no movement. The fourth floor has been demolished, leaving only one room of Long'er. It was a load-bearing pillar, and the fourth floor was very empty after the demolition, so without much effort, I found the room where Long'er was.

Knocking on the door, Xuan Shijing pushed open the door and walked in after hearing Long'er shout "Come in".

"You can live on the fifth floor for the time being. The fourth floor has been demolished like this. It's not convenient to live on the fourth floor." Xuan Shijing said.

"Young Master, Gao Jun, why are you here?" Long'er raised her head, and seeing Xuan Shijing and Gao Jun walking in, she thought to herself, shouldn't Young Master and Gao Jun be dealing with the theft case in Lushan Academy now?

"I went to Dali Temple in the morning and reported everything to Mr. Dai. The case will be considered complete. I went to see Sun Yaoting who is in prison." Xuan Shijing smiled and said, "How are you doing here?"

Closing Xuanwulou's business should be a very severe test for Long'er, because now Xuanwulou has been handed over to her, and up to now, there has been no real profit. Now the fourth and fifth floors have to be refurbished. Qiandui has allocated a considerable amount of money, which makes Long'er even more nervous.

"The things and labor are all set up, and now it's left to how to lay out the fourth floor." Long'er replied, and as she spoke, she picked up the blueprint on the table and handed it to Xuan Shijing: "Young Lord, what is the layout of the fourth floor?" It was re-planned by me, please show me."

Xuan Shijing took the piece of paper in Long'er's hand, opened a stool and sat down, looking at Long'er's plan seriously.

"You did a good job this time. It seems that you have communicated a lot with Qiandui recently. The plan you have planned is very practical. By the way, there is a larger room on the fourth floor, which can seat at least 20 people. The sound insulation must be good, and it will be used as a place for shopkeepers from all over the country to come back for meetings in the future, and the tables and chairs inside will be built by a separate person." Xuan Shijing said.

He wants a conference room, which will definitely be used in the future, not to mention the future, but recently, he will use this conference room to discuss the charity project with Qin Yuxin, Qin Bingyue and Jinyang.

"Yes, Young Master." Long'er replied.

"How long will it take for the overall renovation of the fourth floor?"

"I want to finish it quickly, so it will take half a month for the workers to do it around the clock. It will be inconvenient to start the work in winter." Long'er said.

"Okay, then let's keep building around the clock, it doesn't matter if the wages are higher." Xuan Shijing said, finishing it one day earlier will also put Xuanwulu on the right track, seeing that winter is coming, delaying this winter, If you can't finish it, you can only wait until next spring: "I'm going to talk to the carpenter later, Long'er, you and Gao Jun haven't had a good talk for a long time, so I won't bother you, wait until the evening Gao Jun, you just go back to the academy."

After finishing speaking, Xuan Shijing left the room alone, and had to find a carpenter to make mahjong for Mrs. Wang.

At the same time, Xuan Shijing was also thinking, her own mother is not an ordinary person, in the future, there must be someone who is in charge of the charity, isn't her own mother the best candidate?When I go back to the mansion to ask, if my mother is willing to do it, that would be great.

Fortunately, the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty was open, even if my mother was appointed as the chairman of the charity association, it would not hurt the seriousness, and maybe it would attract more noble ladies from Chang'an.
