Chapter 388
Things in the world are impermanent, like white clouds and dogs, changeable, and there is no trace to be found.

A few days ago, Li Ke and Xiao Yuexian were originally two people who looked like mortal enemies, but in a blink of an eye they were as good as before, even worse than before.

Because of this, Yangzhou City, which originally seemed peaceful on the outside, has gradually become turbulent and undercurrents in private.

Caisi Lane, Yanyu Building.

Ever since Xiao Yuexian's accident happened, the Yanyu Building was taken down by a wealthy businessman who started out in the silk business, but just this morning, the local government came forward and resold it to a man who claimed to be from Suiye. The mysterious businessman who came.

Before and after the whole transaction, the owner of Yanyu Building changed in just a cup of tea, and in the entire Yangzhou City, only Li Ke had this ability, and the mysterious merchant who did so was naturally Xiao Yuexian.

Misty Rain Building, the inner courtyard.

Xiao Yuexian stood on the attic in the inner courtyard facing the lake, looked at the Yanyu Tower in front of him, let out a long breath, and said to Li Ke: "Unexpectedly, Xian'er will be able to return to the Yanyu Tower in her lifetime."

Xiao Yuexian has been in charge of the Yanyu Tower for some time, and Xiao Yuexian has poured a lot of effort into the Yanyu Tower, so he feels kind, and now that he returns to his old place, he can't help but sigh.

Li Ke looked at Xiao Yuexian's appearance and said with a smile: "Yanyu Tower is your painstaking effort, since you like it, I will give it to you."

When Xiao Yuexian heard the words, a hint of surprise appeared on his face, and he asked, "This is the Yanyu Building. Doesn't His Highness feel sorry for such a large sum of money?"

Yanyulou was originally the most famous brothel in Yangzhou, and it was located in Caisi Lane where every inch of land was expensive. The price of Yanyulou might not be close to [-] yuan. Li Ke opened his mouth and sent it to Xiao Yuexian, wouldn't Xiao Yuexian be surprised.

In fact, Xiao Yuexian doesn't know that Li Ke's net worth is no longer what it was when Xiao Yuexian and him first met. Since last year, Li Ke accepted the million-dollar business of the salt company this year. in between.

Li Ke smiled lightly, and replied: "You don't want to go back to Linjiang Palace, this king should find you a place to live. The Yanyu Tower used to be your property, and since you named it as your base, Why doesn't this king have the beauty of an adult? I simply gave it to you, and in the future you will have the Misty Rain Tower in your hands, rich and rich, and this king will be relieved."

Xiao Yuexian asked: "Yanyu Building is the largest gold-selling den in Yangzhou. I don't know how many wealthy gentry come here every day to squander. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are making money every day. How could that silk merchant sell it to you?"

Li Ke said with a smile: "The so-called people don't fight with the officials. None of these local wealthy businessmen who do business have any bad deeds of bullying the market, and they don't do things that violate the law and discipline behind their backs. If this king wants to buy Yanyu Building, there are many ways. "

Xiao Yuexian heard the words and said jokingly: "Your Highness can't take it without paying any money."

Li Ke shook his head, and said solemnly: "How can I act like this? Don't worry, the price I offered is based on the market, which is [-]% higher than when he took over the Yanyu Tower."

Xiao Yuexian said with a smile: "Your Highness is doing business without deception."

Li Ke said with a smile: "Young old people dare not be fooled, but compared with those lords in the court, they are more disciplined."

Xiao Yuexian leaned beside Li Ke, looked up at Li Ke, and looked at Li Ke's laughing appearance, but felt inexplicably at ease in her heart.As if leaning on Li Ke's shoulder and beside Li Ke like this, her heart became much more peaceful, and her originally confused path became clear again.

Xiao Yuexian asked Li Ke: "Your Highness, do you know why Xian'er wants this Yanyu Building as a base?"

Li Ke took Xian'er's long and slender hand, rubbed it slowly in it, and said, "Let's listen."

Xiao Yuexian said: "The brothel has always been a place where fish and dragons mix together, where people of all colors gather. If His Highness wants to achieve great things, he should pay equal attention to the government and the public. If Xian'er can use the Yanyu Tower as the base, it will expand to Chang'an, Luoyang, Taiyuan and other important places can be of great help to His Highness and help His Highness to accomplish things."

"There is no rush for this matter, take your time. Based on Yangzhou and the Yanyu Tower, this king wants to weave a big net. A seemingly inconspicuous one, but it can be caught in one shot, and the crown prince will be snatched." The big net." Li Ke gently held Xiao Yuexian's hand, the strength in his hand was very soft, and Li Ke's smile was also very soft, but Li Ke's voice was full of fortitude that was determined to win.

At this time, Xiao Yuexian still didn't know that the net Li Ke was talking about was far more than just a brothel, there were water transport, salt line, grain and grass, etc. He wanted to use this net to shield the sea and weigh the world.

--------------

In Yangzhou in the southeast, a large net has been quietly weaved. At the same time, Li Ke's memorial for Duan Cui's petition was also sent to Chang'an.

Chang'an, Shengyefang, Wei Wangfu.

Ever since Li Ke went south, Li Tai gradually became nervous.

Duan Cui's move is of great importance. If it succeeds, Li Chengqian's reputation will be greatly damaged, and he will even be abolished, and Li Ke will have a rift with Li Shimin because of that letter. The crown prince is in his pocket .

But Li Tai reckoned that Li Ke should have arrived in Yangzhou long ago, but the news of Duan Cui from Suzhou had not been heard for a long time, which made Li Tai feel a little uneasy all the time.

Li Tai had dealt with Li Ke a lot, and Li Ke was a man of some means, and Li Tai didn't dare to be careless when dealing with him, as long as he didn't get definite news for a day, Li Tai would not feel at ease.

"Your Highness, news from Yangzhou has arrived." In the study room of King Wei's Mansion, Li Tai was reading a book restlessly, and Yu Fu, the guard of King Wei's Mansion, came in and reported.

Hearing this, Li Tai immediately put down the book in his hand, raised his eyes to see Yu Fu's expression, something seemed wrong, and asked worriedly, "How?"

"It seems something is wrong." Yu Fu handed over the secret letter in Li Tai's hands, and replied.

Li Tai took the secret letter from Yu Fu, glanced at it impatiently, and his heart sank.

The ordnance was recovered, Duan Cui went north and everyone died, and Li Ke asked Duan Cui to be honored for his meritorious service. Li Tai waited for a long time, but he never expected that Li Tai would actually wait for the news that Li Ke had performed Duan Cui's meritorious service.

Duan Cui belonged to him, and he planned the robbing of Yangzhou's armaments this time. Why did Li Ke ask for credit for Duan Cui?

Official Li Ke worships General You Xiaowei, and General You Xiaowei Zhong Lang is under Li Ke. What does Li Ke mean?
Li Tai is a suspicious person, and Li Ke has always been cunning, Li Tai looked at the secret letter in his hand, but he couldn't help but suspect a little more in his heart.

All of a sudden, a terrible possibility came to Li Tai's mind, that is, Duan Cui had already been captured by Li Ke, and he was forced to find out the whereabouts of the ordnance. The ordnance can be recovered in such a short period of time.

For a while, Li Tai was even a little worried, whether Li Ke had any evidence in his hand to identify the person behind it as Li Tai, or whether Duan Cui had already transferred to Li Ke, and the more than [-] corpses outside Linhuai City The ground has been burnt beyond recognition, who knows if Duan Cui is really in it.

"How could this be?" Li Tai gritted his teeth while clutching the secret letter in his hand.

Yu Fu looked at Li Tai's appearance, and asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, this matter is very strange. Do you want to send someone to Yangzhou to investigate?"

"No, absolutely not."

As soon as Yu Fu's words fell, Li Tai loudly vetoed Yu Fu's words, Li Tai said: "From now on, this king has never known about Duan Cui, and has nothing to do with Duan Cui. This king doesn't even know about it, so you must not act rashly, lest you get burned."
