Chapter 160 The Pillow Flower House 1
It was getting late, and she had to go to the Prince Regent's Mansion as an errand. She put the cup on the simple wooden table beside her and got up to straighten her clothes. "It's what you said just now. They are not ordinary people. They have been in business for so many years, how could they give up?"

Shen Chuxia left.

Old Han Tuo called out to her back, "Point me in a direction."

"Pillow House!"

A voice came from afar, and old Han Tuo's expression froze. This used to be the most expensive and charming gold selling cave in the capital, and it was also Gao Chen's most profitable industry, but it has been sealed by Ji Chong. No matter whether it is people or things, , Ji Chong kills, catches, sells, it is already an empty building, waiting for auction.

He stood up, a sealed empty building, what can he do?What does Miss Shen mean?
The young scarred man asked, "Master, where do we start?"

Yeah, where to start?Old Han Tuo squinted his eyes in thought.

There are several gates in the Prince Regent's Mansion, front, side, side, and a corner gate dedicated to Ye Xiang. People with different identities walk through different gates.

For example, there are not many opportunities to open the main gate, and only people with specific events or noble status can walk through the main gate, such as welcoming imperial edicts, visiting officials in purple robes, or getting married by young masters.

Under normal circumstances, officials with scarlet robes and below, highly valued aides and aides, and other dignified people can go through the side door next to the main entrance.

When Shen Chuxia arrived, Mu Tong had been waiting by the side door early, and when he saw her coming, he smiled, "Your Highness just came down."

She looked up to the east, probably before ten o'clock, logically speaking, Ji Chong should be working in the Imperial City Office at this time, but who makes him a boss, if he wants to work at home, he can do it at home, no one can control it , no one can control it.

Being a big boss is freedom.

Yesterday, she learned how to grind ink and tidy up Ji Chong's desk with Mutong. Today, as soon as she entered Ji Chong's study, she stood beside him consciously. She quickly glanced at the inkstone, and found that the ink was still enough, and then looked at the desk. The official documents, letters, etc. were not in a mess, and she didn't seem to want her to clean them up, so she quietly moved behind Ji Chong to hide her presence.

In front of Ji Chong's big desk, officials, staff, and stewards came in one by one or several together, like running water, either to discuss matters, or to ask for approval, or to ask related matters and people when Ji Chong reviewed official documents.

Shen Chuxia was distracted after listening.Just now I asked old Han Tuo to check the pillow flower building, he should understand.

Knowing Zhenhualou at this time, people like old bustards, important managers, etc. are not within the scope of her investigation. These people have already been examined by Ji Chong N times, and Ji Chong should have grasped the routine things long ago. However, these seem to be useless for tracking down the Gao family and his son.

The daily cash in the modern business site enters the bank through the cash deposit car, and her income in the Wei Dynasty is deposited in the bank every half a month and exchanged for silver notes, and the people in the bank bring guards who are skilled in martial arts to pick it up.

As a merchant, she only bears the risk of whether the bank can exchange bank notes in the future, and the dangers during transportation are all passed on to the bank.

Where did Zhenhualou's monthly income go?Entered a bank like an ordinary merchant?Or the Gao family has its own treasury. If it enters the bank, in what form will it be stored or transported?If it is your own vault, where is this vault?

Grand Master's Mansion?It has already been copied by Ji Chong. He dug the Grand Master's Mansion for three feet but couldn't find it. It shouldn't be possible to be in the Grand Master's Mansion, and all the properties that Gao Chen could find were picked up by Ji Chong, none of them.

A cunning rabbit usually has three caves. A person like Gao Chen is more cunning than a fox. In which three caves will he hide his gold and silver treasures?

Suddenly, a sentence appeared in Shen Chuxia's mind - the most dangerous place is the safest.

"Pillow flower building."

Whose voice, Shen Chuxia came back to his senses, and found that Ji Chong turned his head to stare at him.

She subconsciously looked at the inkstone, and it turned out that there was no ink, so she hurried over to grind the ink, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry... Your Highness... I... didn't see..." As a book boy, she is too unqualified, and she should reflect.

"You also think there is something wrong with the Pillow House?"

"..." She raised her eyes suddenly, "What's the problem?"

Ji Chong raised his eyebrows, "What are you thinking?"

"..." Only then did Shen Chuxia realize that she had just said it out of her mind, and then she felt something was wrong. She looked in front of the big desk and saw five or six people standing there.

She smiled awkwardly, "I heard that Zhenhualou is the most prosperous and most expensive place in the capital, just...just curious..."

Su Juesong was obviously a little disappointed, "We were thinking that money and treasures should be placed in Zhenhualou, but we searched the entire Zhenhualou, but we couldn't find it."

Zhishi said, "I tortured the bustard and the steward, and found a secret room, there are only more than 3000 taels in it."

There are only more than 3000 taels in the secret room of Zhenhualou, where the daily income is [-] taels, which is obviously impossible.

"This is a blindfold." Shen Chuxia couldn't help blurting out.

Su Juesong nodded in agreement, "We know it is, but we can't find it." He couldn't help sighing.

Shen Chuxia almost said, "Let me go into the Pillow Flower House to have a look"

Looking at Ji Chong in a blink of an eye, he was staring at her intently.

"Want to go in and have a look?"

"No, no, no..." Shen Chuxia hastily pushed back and rubbed the ink.

Ji Chong followed her with his eyes, clearly feeling that she had something in mind, but he didn't say it.

I don't want to say it, or I don't want to say it.

Ji Chong raised his hand.

Su Juesong was taken aback for a moment, then immediately saluted, lowered his head, and led a few people out of the study.

Wen Shaoyan, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, watched Mu Tong close the door, smiled slightly, and asked Su Juesong, "Master Su wants Mrs. Shen to participate in the Gao case?"

"It's not about participating." Su Juesong smiled slightly, "She is His Highness's guest, so there is nothing wrong with asking her to help His Highness solve problems."

Wen Shaoyan understood, and the job of being a doorman is "not what it should be, but there is nothing wrong with it." He hooked his lips and smiled, "I hope to solve His Highness's problems."

In the study, Ji Chong hugged the little lady and sat on his lap, holding her slender waist, "If you have any opinions, please tell me..."

Shen Chuxia wanted to get up, but was pushed down by him. Since Shen Jinlin came back to resign, the little lady seemed to have a lot of trouble with him, and Ji Chong was in a bad mood.

The forehead rested on the top of her fluffy head, "Who said that the people of the world should live a stable life, huh?"

This kind of big talk, of course, was said by someone Shen. It was what she said when she flattered Ji Chong in order to save Shen Jinlin.

"It's not..." She had no choice but to say, "Master... The main reason is that so many people around His Highness are doing this matter, so it's not good for me to get involved."

"What's not so good." Why didn't Ji Chong know her little thoughts, "One is afraid that the people around me will have opinions on you, and the other is that you are afraid that your father will find out, aren't you?"

It's not because she's afraid of being known by Shen Jinlin, but because she's afraid of being recognized by Shen Jinlin as not his daughter.

She lowered her head, with a slightly wronged expression on her face, "Your Highness..."

"Then why did you mention Zhenhualou just now?" Ji Chong lowered his head and whispered in her ear.

Shen Chuxia sighed, "Your Highness, I promised old Han Tuo."

Ji Chong's eyes flickered, and his brows slightly raised, "Then do you want to enter the Pillow House?"

She raised her eyes happily, "Your Highness is taking me in privately?"

"Ah."

No matter who she promises to, Ji Chong is the ultimate beneficiary. For her little thoughtfulness, Ji Chong no longer puts her participation in the Gao case on the surface.
