Jinghong Tower

Chapter 334 Business
While Zhong Yi was watching Jin Gui Gu detoxify, Jin Yiwei arrested one of Lao Fengyun's servants and brought him to justice.

As early as when Lao's family opened an oil mill, this boy's grandfather was already working in Lao's family.

Everyone in the Lao family had great trust in him. He followed the Lao family from Yangzhou to the capital, then from the capital to Jinling, and then to Yangzhou. Later, he went through many hardships and dangers and came to the capital.

But it was such a person who betrayed Lao Fengyun.

The scholar deceived Lao Fengyun into leaving the academy early, and the boy suggested that Lao Fengyun give up the main road and take the shortcut that was both remote and not easy to walk.

The young man had a girl he liked, but the girl's brother threatened to marry her, so he betrayed the young man he had grown up with.

When Jin Yiwei found the girl's house, what he saw was that the door was closed and the courtyard was full of corpses. Six of the seven members of the family were dead. It was cold now, and there was no stench even after two or three days of death.

The girl's brother was a gambler. He got a sum of money and went to the gambling shop. He lost all the money and still owed money. Adding in what he owed before, it was enough to break off one hand. He didn't dare to show his face, so he hid in his good friend's house.

Thanks to the fact that he hid it secretly enough, the entire family was silenced, and only he escaped.

His best friend went to buy melon seeds and saw this man's portrait posted on the street. Worried about getting into trouble, he took the initiative to report it to the police. When the Jin Yiwei came to arrest him, the guy was still sleeping with his head covered.

Based on the clues provided by this guy, Jin Yiwei suddenly surrounded a large courtyard and arrested the two people hiding here.

This time, Zhong Yi changed his strategy. Instead of interrogating them directly, he took the two men to Lao Mansion.

Lao Fengyun woke up the same night after detoxification. Although the poison in his body was detoxified, he still had to recuperate for a while.

What those two people saw was Lao Fengyun who was pale but definitely alive and awake.

Lao Fengyun was sitting on the kang with his quilt in his arms, holding a medicine bowl and drinking medicine. His face was full of illness, but he was still alive, with no blood blisters on his face.

The two men confessed after returning home as if struck by lightning.

Together with the two people who sent Lao Fengyun out of the capital, they were four people in total, all sent by the Qian family.

He Ran originally thought that one of them was a master of voodoo magic, but he didn't expect that these four people were just raised by the Qian family and used exclusively to do dirty things.

The Qian family has a large amount of property left in the north. Therefore, when they moved south, they left a group of people to take care of the property here. These four people were among them. There were only five people with martial arts skills like them, and the war was in chaos. One person is missing, and now it's just the four of them.

Not long ago, the Qian family sent someone to bring them a bottle of medicine to scare Lao's family.

Instead of letting the Lao family die immediately, they died slowly and in an extremely horrific way.

It is said that in the later stages of poisoning, countless blood blisters will bulge on the body. The blood blisters burst and pus mixed with blood spurts out. The stench is unpleasant and nauseating.

This scene is terrifying just thinking about it.

Many times, watching a loved one die step by step is more terrifying than letting someone die.

What's more, the person who was poisoned was the eldest grandson of the Lao family, Lao Guanghuai's beloved grandson.

Everything was planned. They kidnapped Lao Fengyun firstly to poison him and secondly to create a tense atmosphere. The atmosphere was so high that even if the Jin Yiwei didn't stop the mule cart at the city gate, they would find a tea stall or a cart shop and throw Lao Fengyun out after leaving the city.

Their purpose was to let Lao Fengyun return to the Lao family and let Lao Guanghuai watch his grandson die of poison in the most horrific and disgusting way in the world.

Of course, it would be even more perfect if He Ran could see it with her own eyes.

The two people in the courtyard were left to watch.

"We are not afraid of being caught by you. We are ready to die at any time, but before our mission is completed, the Qian family will not let our family go."

"The Qian family still has many properties, and we know the whereabouts of those properties."

"The Qian family has done many shady things for the new emperor, and we were all involved in these things."

"We can tell you these things and only ask for your life. We promise to return to Jinling immediately and never stay in the capital for another day."

They are orphans, but they are all married, with wives and children. Their wives and children all work for the Qian family. The Qian family feels comfortable letting them stay in the north because they have caught their weaknesses.

They just wanted to go to Jinling, and even if they couldn't save their wives and children, they would die with them.

Zhong Yi asked He Ran for instructions, and He Ran ordered to block the news that Lao Fengyun had detoxified!
So Zhan Wuyu had just arrived home when he was invited back to the capital by Jin Yiwei.

The people who stayed in the north of the Qian family, after learning that all four people had been arrested, were as anxious as ants on a hot pot and paid close attention to the situation of the Lao family.

The Lao family has invited several batches of doctors, and just today, another handsome young man came.

Moreover, this young master was sent by Jin Yiwei.

These people "bribed" the servants of the Lao family and finally found out the identity of the young master.

He turned out to be a master of detoxification.

At the same time, they also learned from the servants of the Lao family that Mr. Lao had big blood blisters all over his body and was about to die.

The news was quickly sent to Jinling, and the Qian brothers were overjoyed. They wanted to see if Lao Guanghuai still dared to kill them all.

He Ran felt that she was quite kind-hearted. She made the Qian brothers and the new emperor happy by doing good deeds every day.

Lao Guanghuai did not return to the Hubu Yamen, nor was he in Lao Mansion. He lived in Laomofang Hutong.

This was He Ran's residence, and official documents were often exchanged there. Sometimes He Ran worked here, and officials occasionally came here to see her.

Therefore, Lao Guanghuai stayed here for more than ten days, and the Qian family didn't even have any clues about it. They thought that Lao Guanghuai was staying with his precious grandson in the house.

In Baoding Prefecture, on the most prosperous Dingxiu Street, a semi-old carriage came.

A fat man in coarse clothes slowly came out of the carriage, holding a map in his hand. He pointed at the map and said to several followers around him: "This, this, and this, the four on the east, and the four on the west." The eight families, this one, this one, and those three, called all their people over and said that the new owner has arrived! "

This fat man is the rich man called Wanlijin in Jin. This time, He Ran sent someone to invite him from Jin. The rich man was in a panic, fearing that the head of the family would ask him to donate half of his wealth.

Why is it a half pair? That’s because money begets money. With his thousands of miles of gold, the half pair can turn into a whole pair. Then Master He takes away the half pair again, and the half pair becomes a whole pair again, and then takes it away again. Half a pair, over and over again, as long as he lives, Master He will have endless access to them.
The rich man has seen through the essence of the game.

But the millionaire didn't expect that this time, He Ran didn't ask for money, but wanted to do business with him. What's more, what the millionaires didn't expect was that Master He's business was actually quite fair, not as big as a lion, and even had good prices and low prices.

For example, the prices of the twenty-five shops on Dingxiu Street in Baoding Prefecture are not expensive. This is Baoding Prefecture, which is close to the capital. The prices are simply unbeatable.

The wealthy man had vision and capital, so he decisively chose He Ran among King Jin, He Ran and Wu Dongming.

Although a lot of money is invested, doesn't it cost less to choose Jin Wang or Wu Dongming?
Maybe there will be more!

Even if a businessman has a fortune, he is nothing in the face of absolute power!

The millionaire was grateful countless times that he was following He Ran, and his property still belonged to him, and occasionally He Ran could let him pick up the pieces.

This time, the millionaire made a big mistake. He not only bought a shop in Baoding Prefecture, but also bought properties in Beijing, Kaifeng and Shunde Prefecture. Of course, these properties all belonged to the Qian family before this.

The millionaire waved his hand, and three hundred thousand taels of silver were transported to the capital in a few days.

The shopkeepers in these shops on Dingxiu Street still don't know what the fat, rustic man in front of them is going to do.

The entourage brought a box, and the rich man Wan took out a large pile of fish scale books from the box. Speaking in Shanxi dialect, he said to these people: "Do you know that you have changed owners, and these shops will all have the surname Wan from now on! "

At the same time, in Chengyuan Commercial House in Luoyang Prefecture, several middle-aged people looked at the people from Jin standing in front of them with gloomy expressions.

They were all dressed in dusty clothes, as simple as farmers who had just entered the city, but what they said was shocking.

"Starting from today, the four of us have taken over all the caravans, carriages, ships, shops, and warehouses owned by Chengyuan Company."

He Ran offered Chengyuan Trading Company 700,000 taels, and four Shanxi businessmen finally jointly financed the purchase.

Before this, these four Shanxi merchants had heard of the name of Chengyuan Trading Company. For the company to become so big, it must be protected by officials. However, they never expected that the real owner of Chengyuan Trading Company was the former Qi. King, now the new emperor.

Of course I have to buy it, even if I have to scrape together the money, I have to buy it.

In the capital, Lao Guanghuai finally walked out of Laomofang Hutong, and one million taels of silver were finally delivered to the capital today.

At the same time, the news of the change of hands of Chengyuan Company and those shops has not yet reached Jinling. After all, this time Lao Guanghuai did not conduct a grand inspection, but sold it directly. Even the fish scale book was newly issued. As for the original The fish scale book is of course invalid! Completely treated as ownerless property.

The shopkeepers of the merchant houses and shops were temporarily placed under house arrest to hand over the accounts, while the small bosses and clerks at the bottom only knew that people from above were sent to check the accounts. As for which person was sent from above, they did not know at all.

The people of the Qian family who stayed in the capital were still hanging around outside the Lao family, and they didn't even hear the slightest news about what had happened.

The Qian brothers received the news that Lao Fengyun's life was worse than death, and that Lao Guanghuai had not been to the Yamen for many days. Others in the household department were trembling, so the matter of checking the properties of officials going south was shelved.

Qian Ruolin sneered: "Lao Guanghuai is a capable official, but he is old and most of his body is buried in the ground. He still wants to fight with us?"

Qian Ruowang also echoed: "Yes, there is a grandson on one side and a granddaughter on the other. Which one is lighter and which one is more important? Doesn't he know it in his heart?

I'm afraid I don't want to take care of it for a long time, but it's just hard to refute He Ran's face, so we can help him, hahaha! "

Yes, didn't they just do Lao Guanghuai a big favor?

Now Lao Guanghuai doesn't have to be in a dilemma, and he doesn't have to explain to He Ran.

His grandson is useless. Lao Guanghuai is already very old, and I’m afraid his current situation is not much better than his grandson’s.

Even if He Ran doesn't give up, with Lao Guanghuai's lesson learned from the past, others won't dare to get to the bottom of it.

At most, it would be painless and painless to get a few minions to make He Ran happy for a while. After a long time, the matter would be nothing more than thunder and rain, and then nothing would happen.

The Qian brothers have been in the officialdom for many years and are well versed in the ways of being officials.

But they didn't expect that danger was approaching them.

The two killers were not only let go by He Ran, but were also safely escorted across the river by the Jin Yiwei. Now, they are back in Jinling.

When the two arrived in Jinling, they quietly inquired about the news and confirmed that the Qian family was singing and dancing and that the Qian brothers must be in a good mood.

If they knew the mission had failed, why would they listen to songs or watch dances?

The two planned to quietly escape from Jinling with their wives and children before the news came.

Their home is on the back street of the Qian Mansion, and all the servants of the Qian family live here.

They have always been in the north, but one can guess that their wives and children must also live here.

My wife worked as an errand in the government, and my children were too young to enter the government. When my wife went to work, she thought of entrusting them to the neighbor's sister-in-law.

This is what my wife did when she was still in the capital.

They decided to take the children away first, and then wait until the wife got off work to take the wife away directly.

They didn't dare to go there in person, so Hua Yinzi hired someone to pretend to be a relative of the family and went to check on the child.

But they didn't expect that when the man came back, he told them that their children didn't live here at all. They asked several people, but they all said no.

The two didn't believe it and took the risk to go there themselves. This time, they were looking for children playing in the alley.

These children are about the same age as their sons and daughters, and the children must know each other.

But just like what the man said, the children shook their heads and then dispersed.

Just when they were about to leave, they saw one of the children running back and timidly stopped them: "Shui Wazi is dead, and my mother didn't let me say it."

The child's mother worked in the weaving room with the wife of one of them.

After getting a pack of pine nut candies, the child told them that his family lived next door to Shui Wazi's house. Three months ago at night, Shui Wazi and his mother were called away by the steward and never came back. Later, the house was also given to them. Someone else was living there, and that family was also working in the mansion. They moved in and threw Shui Wazi and his mother's belongings out.

The child's mother said at home that Shui Wazi and his mother must be dead, otherwise they wouldn't have taken away even their personal clothes.

The two killers looked at each other and saw murderous intent in each other's eyes.
