Princess, please respect yourself!

Chapter 162
The warm pavilion is red with charcoal fire.

"Your Majesty, please see Mr. Meng Yimeng of Nanya." The eunuch Qixi walked in quickly with small steps, and bowed to report.

Emperor Yongxi lay on his side on the soft bed, holding a volume of books in his hand, squeezed a piece of tea and threw it into his mouth, chewing it slowly.

"Why is he here?"

"I don't know." Qixi kept her head down, not daring to raise her head.

"Let's declare." Emperor Yongxi put down the scroll in his hand, straightened up and sat up, took the silk handkerchief handed over by the maid, and wiped his mouth.

Wearing a long robe and taking off his clothes, Meng Yi strutted into the warm pavilion like this, very casually, just like in Zijier's house.

"Meng Yi has seen His Majesty!" Meng Yi did not kneel down to Emperor Yongxi, but cupped his hands and slightly bent his waist as a salute.

"You lazy nature, why come to see me when you have time?" Emperor Yongxi also waved his hand casually, "Bring a stool for Mr. Meng."

"I'm here to ask His Majesty for something."

"It's really strange that you actually came to see me again for something. Tell me quickly?" Emperor Yongxi was a little bit dumbfounded when he heard that.

"I have taken in a new student. He is going to get married. The object is Lao Ye's apprentice. There is still a house missing."

"Could it be that you asked me to give you this house?"

"I know you are stingy. I have a house of my own and I want to give it to him as a gift. However, it is in someone else's hands now, so I came here to beg Your Majesty."

"Why is your house in someone else's hands? How come I don't believe what you said?" Emperor Yongxi was extremely surprised.

"No. 3 Pingkang Square."

"Wait, you're not talking about the house of Liu Qian, Ningzhou Salt Transport Envoy, are you?" Emperor Yongxi was taken aback. He was very concerned about Ding Xian's case, so he had read the file and remembered the house number.

"Yes."

"This house belongs to Liu Qian, how did it become yours?"

"Liu Qiande's house is not clean. This house originally had another owner. Moreover, the transaction was not between Liu Qian and the original owner. Someone took it by force. In the end, a house of nearly 30 taels was priced at 20 Ten thousand taels, actually secretly bought it for less than 3 taels!"

"If there is such a thing, Mr. Meng can go directly to Jingzhao Mansion to report it?" Emperor Yongxi said, a dispute over the ownership of a house would not cause him, an emperor, to come forward in person, it would be too shameful.

"If it wasn't for the people from Jingzhao Mansion colluding with them, how could this house be sold at a low price to Liu Qian?" Meng Yi snorted coldly.

"What the hell is going on?"

"Thirty years ago, there was a Southern Chu businessman named Qian Dengke who came to Luojing to develop, so he fell in love with the house at No. 30 Pingkangfang, and paid for it. After the renovation, something happened to his family, and he needed to go back to Nanchu to deal with it, so he stored the land and house deeds of this house and some valuables in the safe of the 'Huitong' cabinet, and paid for it in one go. The ten-year storage fee, according to the storage rules of the 'Huitong' cabinet, the customer who does not come to pick up the items after the deadline can be automatically extended until the items entrusted by him are not enough to pay the storage fee. At this time, 'Huitong' Only the cabinet workshop can post notices to the outside world, and they can dispose of it by themselves after at least three months. As for the title deed and house deed of the No. 3 house in Pingkangfang stored by Qian Dengke, they obviously did not follow this rule. The house is worth 3 taels. According to the annual storage fee of 30 taels, it can be stored for at least 1000 years, but it has only been less than 300 years. They secretly asked the Jingzhao government to issue a justification certificate in private with unowned items, and then re-transfer the ownership The transaction was completed, and the cost was only 30 taels, which was only one-tenth of the original value. I am afraid that this kind of thing has been done more than this one. I don't know, this 'Huitong' counter shop known for its honesty is actually doing such dirty things in private!" Meng Yi said that he was filled with righteous indignation, and scolded 'Huitong' for being shameless.

"Mr. Meng, how did you get the voucher for the object?" After hearing this, Emperor Yongxi's face was solemn. If this matter is not handled well, it will really trigger a series of chain reactions. The distribution is carried out through the 'Huitong' cabinet.

Once something happened to "Huitong", it would not only affect himself, but also the overall stability of the imperial court.

This open cabinet shop, for those who play finance, once the "integrity" has a crisis, it is the most terrifying. Although the safekeeping business does not involve deposit, withdrawal and exchange business, who knows if it will pull out the carrot and bring out the mud?
"Are you sure there is no misunderstanding about this matter?"

"Is it necessary for me to blackmail Your Majesty on this matter?" Meng Yi said, "If Your Majesty can't do it, let the Imperial City Secretary check it out?"

"Seven joy!"

"The servant is here."

"Pass on my words, check it out, and report back quickly." Naturally, Emperor Yongxi would not listen to Meng Yi's words, he had to check it himself to confirm it.

"Mr. Meng, this house does not belong to you in the final analysis, it is an ownerless thing."

"I have taken away the token of Qian Dengke's safe and the custody contract signed at the beginning, and there is also a list of kept items, so these things naturally belong to me. Your Majesty, according to the laws of Dazhou, there is nothing wrong with me saying that?"

"You are not a direct relative of Qian Dengke, and you do not belong to the inheritance, unless he appears in person and completes the transaction with you!"

"Your Majesty, is this a rascal?"

"This is a protection measure designed to prevent someone from robbing the victim's property. You can take away the kept things with the voucher in your hand, but if you want to make them yours, you need to go to Jingzhao Mansion to complete the transfer. This still needs to pay deed tax!" Emperor Yongxi said lightly.

"Your Majesty is really shrewd in calculating this account!"

"The land deed and house deed are in my hands. As for when I will go to Jingzhao Mansion with the original owner to transfer the ownership and pay the deed tax, that is a matter for both of us. The court has no right to interfere, right?" Meng Yi is not stupid, he wants the government to intervene, There must be a bitter master, and if there is no bitter master, the house will belong to whoever owns the land and house deeds.

Emperor Yongxi just stared at Meng Yi for a full three seconds, and he knew that what Meng Yi said was really true.

Unless the original owner or the descendants of the original owner show up with evidence that can prove their identity, otherwise, according to the law, the imperial court really cannot interfere.

It is voluntary for both parties to transfer the house, but under normal circumstances, the house will still be transferred, otherwise the original owner of the house may go back on his word at any time and take the house back?
If the imperial court interferes, the imperial court itself will be suspected of blatantly embezzling private property. As a dynasty that has not yet reached its end, it is unlikely to do such a thing.

Because you did it, you lost the hearts of the people.

"Your Majesty, if you want me to go to Jingzhao Mansion, then I will go." Meng Yi is not afraid, it would be better if things get worse, he is taking back the house on the premise that he doesn't want to make things worse, you are not willing, Then simply make things worse.

"Mr. Meng, hold back, it's just a trivial matter. If it's true, I'll settle it." Emperor Yongxi hurriedly called Meng Yi.

"I haven't played chess with Mr. Meng for a long time. Why don't you choose a day to hit the sun, or talk about a game?" Emperor Yongxi invited, "Investigation also takes time."

"Hmph, can your Majesty not play tricks when you lose at chess?"

"Don't worry, if I lose, how about giving you a house?"

"No, I just want my own." Meng Yi refused straight away, he was courteous to others, and he must ask for something, he knew the emperor's temperament too well.

……

The lights are on.

Qingyi disguised herself as a man, with the image of an elegant scholar, and Luo Xing, dressed plainly, with the appearance of a bodyguard.

Scholars carry guards, this is the configuration that Luo Jing sees most nowadays.

They are like this, walking on the street, it is not easy to attract too much attention. After all, there will be many young students in Luo Jing next year.

For the sake of safety on the road, many well-to-do families will naturally spend money to hire one or two accompanying guards to ensure the safety of the road and in Beijing. Generally, they are warriors of the fourth and fifth ranks. All very rich.

Luo Xing's fourth-grade cultivation base fits this personality very well.

This scholar is talented and romantic, and Luojing is prosperous, so it is naturally a place where Goulan's romantics gather. Every year of the competition, there are some stories about talented scholars and beautiful women.

Therefore, the Chunwei Dabi also drove the consumption and development of Luojing's cultural and entertainment industry.

Before the Grand Competition, there was a post-flower selection event, which has already begun to warm up, but this year's southeast war, many people in Yangzhou will not be able to make it through, and the post-flower selection event will probably lose its color a lot.

This is an event that both the government and the people participate in. The government is the Dazhou court Jiaofang Secretary, and the folks are Ye Laixiang and the famous Goulanyuan and Washe in Luojing City. Basically, they will sign up to participate, and there are also independent candidates.

Anyway, it was just an entertainment talent show, one of the few major entertainment events in this world.

It is said that the ghost city Fanlou will also send people to participate, but generally before the competition, it will not be announced to the public. Once the queen candidate falls into the ghost city Fanlou, it will also be a kind of influence on the ghost city.

It was rumored in Hualiu Lane that there were quite a few women from Yangzhou. They were all nobles, and they came to Luojing for the reputation of "Queen of Flowers".

There is a young age limit for the Huahou Contest, above [-], below [-] (inclusive), dignified appearance, proficient in rhythm, dancing, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, you must be a virgin.

There are many small courtyards in Hualiu Lane. The courtyards vary in size. The basic layout is a small two-story building, a small patio, a backyard, and several auxiliary rooms, mainly for kitchens, utility rooms, and servants. house.

Most of the small buildings are back-shaped. If there are two floors, it can usually accommodate six small masters and servants, and about five to six girls.

This kind of people who don't have the help of the old bustard to attract customers need to attract customers by themselves, and they are responsible for their own profits and losses.

Red lanterns are hung at the door, and the number of lanterns indicates how many girls live in the yard, and the lights indicate that there are guests.

This is called "lighting".

If the girl doesn't want to pick up the guests, she can take down the lantern, or light the lantern directly, there are many ways to do it.

Luo Xing also came here after trying to make up for his knowledge in this area. He would be afraid of making a fool of himself if he had never visited such a place.

On the other hand, Qingyi, she seems to understand the way here, after all, she has been in Nanya for ten years, and she often went to and from such places when handling cases, so she naturally understands it clearly.
