Chapter 35 These prefects are very poor, okay?
After Gu Yuzhi watched Xie Changshi go out, he slowly started to wash up and have breakfast. Then he rubbed Xue Ye's fur, and there was a trace of solemnity in his voice: "Xue Ye, Chen Dianyi is still teaching me today, do you want to Go with me?"

Xue Ye screamed and ran away from Gu Yuzhi quickly, looking back at him with condemnation in her eyes, as if to say, little prince, do you hear what you are saying is human?

As for Xie Changshi, Qi Chenglang and Zhang Yuankai were already waiting outside the door when they went out. The three of them got on their horses together. Zhang Yuankai was a little careless: "I haven't interrogated a prisoner for a long time. I have to go through whatever I say today." addiction."

Xie Changshi was about to speak when he heard Qi Chenglang say quietly: "Then what you were interrogating two nights ago were ghosts?"

The prisoner hasn't been interrogated yet, and the village leader is going insane!

"You!" Zhang Yuankai pointed at Qi Chenglang, and before he could burst out of his anger, he snapped at him, "I've reached this point in my atmosphere, why are you destroying it!"

The two people were scolding each other as they walked, and the quiet street became noisy. Xie Changshi smiled and did not participate.

When we arrived at the magistrate's office, Magistrate Qi hadn't come yet. There were two policemen standing at the door. They recognized Qi Chenglang at a glance. After all, on the day of the bandit suppression, they and the policemen all listened to Qi's guards.

The policeman quickly walked down the steps and came forward: "Captain Qi, do you have something to do with the prefect? ​​The prefect hasn't come yet, please come in and wait."

With outsiders present, Qi Chenglang's face turned pale again, he nodded slightly and walked in. The policeman found someone to make three pots of tea, then exited, and hurriedly sent someone to find Magistrate Qi.

A quarter of an hour later, Magistrate Qi hurried in: "Xie Changshi, Guard Qi, Guard Zhang, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, something was delayed, so I came a little late."

For the past two days, in order to interrogate the bandits, Magistrate Qi almost stayed in the yamen. This morning he went to the prison again. As a result, he had been hungry for two days, and these bandits still didn't tell the truth.

Magistrate Qi and the bandits have been going back and forth for so many years, and it was only in his dreams that he wanted to catch them. This time, these people finally fell into his hands. He never thought of being polite and was about to have them executed. , when someone came to report that Xie Changshi was here, he had to quickly pack up and return to the Yamen.

The two exchanged some pleasantries, and then Xie Changshi went straight to the point: "I came here today for two things. The first is that you know His Highness's current situation. Although the Emperor's reward has been returned, all the fiefdoms are in ruins. The wasteland needs to be reclaimed, and His Highness's mansion needs to be built, and these rewards are only a drop in the bucket..."

Magistrate Qi nodded repeatedly when he heard this, but he became more vigilant in his heart. He glanced at Xie Changshi and then at Xie Changshi. Although it was a drop in the bucket, you didn't leave us any of what you brought back from suppressing the bandits!
Xie Changshi is called poor here now. What is he doing? Is it possible that the prefects like them should pay for it?

These prefects are very poor, okay!

Xie Changshi noticed that Magistrate Qi looked a little strange, but didn't think much about it, "So we thought about opening an escort agency. Does Magistrate Qi have any familiar escort agencies that he wants to sell? If not, does he have suitable land for sale? Give us?"

"There are suitable ones." After Magistrate Qi finished speaking subconsciously, he felt something was wrong. He turned his head and looked at Xie Changshi, and saw that he was smiling, looking harmless, "What did Xie Changshi say? Escort agency?" "

He was not a fool. His eyes quickly fell on Qi Chenglang and Zhang Yuankai. He swallowed slowly and his pupils gradually dilated.

Isn't it right?

It's not really what he thinks, is it?However, Xie Changshi had no intention of letting him go: "What is appropriate, as Magistrate Qi said, is the escort agency or the land? Of course His Highness hopes to have a suitable escort agency that can operate directly."

Magistrate Qi was about to cry. What identities did Qi Chenglang and Zhang Yuankai have? They were going to become bodyguards!

Although such an escort agency is very reassuring, why should you tell him such a thing!
Magistrate Qi looked at the sky and the earth, but did not look at the three people: "Well, I seem to have vaguely heard that a small escort agency in the south of the city is for sale. Their family lost three businesses some time ago and cannot continue to operate. I'm at my wits end. I heard two days ago that Chengnan Liji Trading Company wanted to acquire it, but the price couldn't be negotiated."

He briefly explained: "Li Ji Trading Company in the south of the city also has a bodyguard bureau. It is the largest bodyguard bureau in Mobei. It has branches in many places."

After losing three business deals in a short period of time, and with Li Ji Trading Company going out for acquisitions, Xie Changshi had to think more. This little escort might be an eyesore for Li Ji Trading Company.

Xie Changshi thought for a while and said: "How small is the small escort agency that Governor Qi mentioned? We don't know much about the situation in Mobei. If this small escort agency doesn't even have the most basic equipment, then we might as well just buy it. The land is ready.”

Only then did Magistrate Qi burst out laughing: "It is said to be a small escort agency, but in fact it occupies a large area and is fully equipped with everything. It is called a small escort agency because of the manpower. Longchang Escort Agency was also called a small escort agency more than ten years ago. It was the largest escort agency in the north, but bandits were prevalent at that time, and the Longchang Escort Agency lost its escorts several times in succession. Not only did it lose money, its reputation also deteriorated a lot."

The news of the successive losses of the Longchang Escort Agency spread quickly in Mobei. Rich people would never dare to look for them again. For so many years, they have relied on some small escorts to make a living.

The three business deals he made some time ago were all lost, and he could no longer maintain his livelihood. He had to find a way to sell the escort agency and pay back all the money he owed.

Xie Changshi pinched his beard and thought for a long time before saying, "Can I trouble you, Magistrate Qi, to take us to the escort agency later?"

Generally speaking, the head of a bodyguard bureau travels all over the country, knows many good guys, and has a sense of justice in his heart. The fact that the owner of the bodyguard bureau wants to pay back the money after selling the bodyguard bureau shows that at least there is not much problem with his character.

If he saw the place and felt it was suitable, he felt that he could directly tell His Highness to buy the escort agency.

Magistrate Qi nodded repeatedly: "It's easy to talk about."

It was as if he was completely unaware of Xie Changshi's purpose in asking him to go.

Xie Changshi then smiled and said: "As for the second thing, we still have a lot of doubts about the bandits. I wonder if Magistrate Qi has asked for any relevant information in the past two days?"

Magistrate Qi's face turned red and his tone became stammering: "I'm sorry for my incompetence. I haven't found any useful clues yet. Just like what I told Captain Qi before, I've already sent people to Quanzhou to adjust the household registration. .”

He was a little confused: "But Xie Changshi, if these people didn't lie, the possibility of finding their household registration is very small. A few years ago, the Quanzhou Yamen was suddenly hit by a fire. Hundreds of people in the Yamen, including the prefect, were all killed in the flames. The current governor of Quanzhou has only been in office for a few years, and it is said that the household registration is all newly calculated."
