Chapter 1022 Are you willing to give up the beacon building?
Chapter 1022 Are you willing to give up the beacon building?
Dugu Xuejiao, master and servant, changed their clothes, went out, and went straight to Hongxiu Pavilion.
The sun is just right, and the shops on Wanshou Street have opened one after another.
Only the doors and windows of brothels, large and small, are closed. This time is their rest time.
When Dugu Xuejiao jumped off the carriage, she saw a person wearing a white dress standing outside the gate of Hongxiu Pavilion, it was Ye Lanshan.
She has a delicate oval face and clear Jianshui Qiutong. Standing there, she looks like a graceful white lotus in a pond.
"Miss Dugu."
Ye Lanshan took the initiative to go forward and greet her, her attitude was completely different from last time.
Dugu Xuejiao looked at her, curled her lips into a smile, and followed her inside, deliberately teasing her.
"When we met last time, didn't you still firmly say that you would never change masters? How long has it been since you changed your mind?"
When Ye Lanshan heard the words, she didn't even stop in her footsteps, her expression remained calm.
"I never said that kind of thing. I only said that I only have money in my eyes. Whoever gives more money is the master."
Dugu Xuejiao: ...
This fickle woman.
However, the temper is still pleasing.
Talk quickly, without flamboyance, but with a true temperament.
"Do you know why your master wants to meet me here?"
Ye Lanshan's expression remained unchanged, and she led her towards her house.
"He has always played cards out of common sense. No one can guess his intentions. Moreover, I am busy making money, so I have no time to guess."
The old lady only has money in her eyes, and she spends all her time trying to make money, and has no time to pay attention to her master's ideas.
No matter what he wants to do, no matter what he wants to do, the main thing is to give money.
Dugu Xuejiao couldn't laugh or cry, should she be so real.
The two had only spoken a few words, and they were already outside the house. Ye Lanshan looked at Li Gen and Meteor, still expressionless.
"The two of them just wait outside."
Dugu Xuejiao wanted to say something, but finally nodded in agreement.
She walked in with Ye Lanshan, stepped on the soft plush carpet, and when she turned around the screen, she saw the man sitting in front of the window at a glance.
It was Jun Qingchen who had been investigated for a long time, the owner of the beacon building.
Dugu Xuejiao looked at him nonchalantly, and stepped lightly.
The man wore a half silver mask on his face, only his fine jaw line and a pair of cold and deep eyes could be seen.
Ye Lanshan saluted the man.
"Master, Miss Dugu has brought it."
When the voice fell, he turned and walked out.
Dugu Xuejiao sat down on the other side of the small table, facing the man, and spoke probing words.
"I don't know how to call it?"
Li Tingxian was also looking at her with an inexplicable expression.
He had checked out all the people around Wan Baolu long ago, and had mixed feelings about Dugu Xuejiao.
The person Wan Baolu admires the most is this woman in front of her, and now she is even more regarded as her close sister.
When he was with Wan Baolu, he often heard about Sister Dugu from her mouth.
Every time she talked about it, Wan Baolu's eyes shone with bright starlight, and there really were those kind of shining little stars.
It can be seen that she really likes Dugu Xuejiao, even more than him.
Although, as Wan Baolu's man, he shouldn't think so, but he is inexplicably... jealous.
At this time, seeing Dugu Xuejiao wearing a man's clothing, sitting opposite with a straight posture, with a heroic spirit and coldness that ordinary women don't have at all, she feels more and more heartbroken.
Facing Chonglou, he could still taunt that the man was ugly and couldn't catch Wan Baolu's eyes.
But facing Dugu Xuejiao, especially with such a heroic and radiant face, he really couldn't say that he looks better.
In terms of appearance, there is no advantage at all.
As for money and wealth, her uncle's grandmother's family is one of the few rich men in Liangjing, and her second sister-in-law is the daughter of the richest man in Qiyang City.
She also runs an embroidery workshop herself, and she is not short of money at all, as if she has no advantage in this regard.
Besides status, it is even more incomparable.
He is just a merchant, no matter how much money he has, his status is already there, and he is nothing in front of power and status.
As for her, her father is the Duke of Zhen Guo, and the person who pursues her is the regent king with all the power in the world, and she even serves in the Shenji Battalion.
Such a comparison, not to mention the advantages, is simply useless.
In just a few moments, Li Tingxian had already reached this tragic result.
He couldn't compare with Dugu Xuejiao at all, he was completely defeated.
Li Tingxian took a deep breath, secretly rejoicing.
Fortunately, Dugu Xuejiao is a woman.
"Miss Dugu, you don't have to be so polite, my surname is Li, you can call me whatever you want."
Dugu Xuejiao had a polite smirk on her face, she didn't practice Tai Chi with him, and got straight to the point.
"Lord Li, you have always been so secretive, and you are even more impeccable in your actions.
No matter how our people searched, we were only three feet away from digging the ground, and you still didn't show up.
Wanting to see you is as difficult as going to heaven, but today you suddenly took the initiative to ask me to meet, which shows that things are not normal. "
Li Tingxian was ridiculed by her, but his expression did not change at all.
They are all old foxes without nine tails.
"Miss Dugu is serious, Li is just a merchant with a low status, how dare he get involved with you big shots so easily.
Doing business is too risky, and the three caves of cunning rabbits are the basics. Otherwise, they will be dug and buried alive, and they don't know how to die.
Knowing that someone wants to steal your things, why don't you hide them well, and send them up with your own hands?
No one is a fool, so they naturally know how to choose, Miss Dugu, don't you think so? "
This is clearly implying.
It must be no good for you to find me. If you want to snatch my beacon building, if I don't hide, I'm still waiting to be snatched away by you.
Dugu Xuejiao understood his voice-over, and didn't bother to play charades with him, so she asked him directly.
"Since Master Li knew our purpose, why didn't he hide all the time? Why did he show up now?"
Li Tingxian's eyes flashed, and he sighed slightly.
"Because I have to."
Dugu Xuejiao saw that his disappointed expression didn't look like a fake, but she became curious.
For an old fox like him, what could be worth his risk of showing up?
She put her hands on the table, pretending to be listening attentively, and beckoned him to continue.
Li Tingxian stopped playing around in circles, and gave his conditions straight to the point.
"If Miss Dugu can do me a favor, someone like Li is willing to offer the beacon tower with both hands."
Dugu Xuejiao clasped her hands together suddenly, and looked at him in disbelief.
"What did you say? Are you willing to give up the beacon building?"
Li Tingxian nodded, although his face showed reluctance, he was very firm.
Dugu Xuejiao frowned slightly, offering such an attractive condition, what he wanted to do must be very difficult.
"I don't know what help Master Li wants me to do? However, if Master Li is willing to give up the beacon building, it can be seen that the matter is extraordinary. How can you be sure that I can settle this matter?"
Li Tingxian smiled wryly, others may not be able to, but she definitely can.
Looking at the entire court, there were not many people who dared to confront Grand Master Pang and the others.
"Miss Dugu, Ming people don't speak dark words, I want to exchange the Beacon Tower for the safety of the Wan family."
Seeing that Xu Yi'an's case is about to come to a conclusion, in order to keep his accomplices, Pang Taishi's family will definitely find someone to take the blame.
Obviously, that person is Omnipotent.
In the expansion of the Jiaofang Division, Wanyoucai's Wanshi Commercial Bank participated in a lot, including the design of the building, the supply of jade and antique ornaments, etc., which involved a lot of oil and water.
The officials above first took part of the money out of it, filled their own pockets, and then allocated the funds.
Now they just need to insist that they didn't take a single copper coin back then, and all the loopholes found by the Metropolitan Procuratorate can be pushed to Wan's Commercial Bank.
In a word, that part of the money was embezzled by Wanyoucai.
No matter how rich and wealthy he is, he is just a businessman with no power or status at all, and he can only be tortured and blamed.
In addition to Wan Youcai himself, several of his sons participated in the expansion of the Jiaofang Division.
In other words, it is very likely that several people will be involved.
If Wan Youcai and the young masters of the Wan family were all sent to jail, or if it was more serious, they would all beheaded.
That Wanjia is really over.
Thousands of families have a lot of wealth, and they will undoubtedly become a piece of fat, but no one is in charge, and they will only end up being eaten up.
Under the overthrow, how can there be an egg?
If both father and brother were dead, Wan Baolu, who was held in the palm of her hand since she was a child, and who knew nothing, could imagine what would happen.
He would never let this happen.
When he thought of his good boy who was crying all day long and no longer smiling, he felt terribly uncomfortable.
It was precisely because Li Tingxian was aware of this that he endured the pain and gave up the beacon building that had been in operation for a long time.
Jun Qingchen has always been interested in Fenghuo Tower, and only with such an exchange condition can he agree to make a move.
As for why he didn't make a deal with Jun Qingchen directly, it was actually out of selfishness.
Dugu Xuejiao is recognized by Jun Qingchen as the future princess, and the relationship between the two is unusual.
And she has friendship with Wan Baolu, no matter whether she really treats her as her younger sister or just plays it on occasion, she will feel unbearable to some extent.
If Dugu Xuejiao came forward to persuade Jun Qingchen, things would be easier.
The regent has a very important say in the court, as long as he objects, even Grand Master Pang and the Queen Mother will not be able to go their own way.
"I am willing to exchange the Beacon Tower for the Wan family, and hope the prince can save their lives."
Dugu Xuejiao was slightly startled when she heard his words.
How did he know that the Wan family was involved in Xu Yi'an's case?
Except for Grand Master Pang, a family of courtiers who wanted to blame Wan Youcai and then impeach him, it would be difficult for others to know the news.
She also just happened to see the memorial on Jun Qingchen's desk.
Unless... he is also a member of Pang Taishi's family.
What about the beacon tower?Could it be that Taishi Pang and the others used it to collect information...
Thinking of this, Dugu Xuejiao immediately changed her expression, sat up straight, and stared at him vigilantly.
"How did you know Wan Jia was involved in Xu Yi'an's case?"
A man as cunning as a fox like Li Tingxian could guess what she was thinking at a glance and couldn't help shaking his head.
"Miss Dugu, don't worry, I created the Beacon Tower by myself, and I have never met Taishi Pang, let alone being involved with them.
The reason why I took out the Beacon Tower was to save the people of the Wan family. I didn't want to see Baolu sad, and I didn't want her to be imprisoned. "
Dugu Xuejiao heard this, stared deeply into his eyes a few times, and spoke with certainty.
"You are the number one card in Nanfeng Pavilion."
That night, Jun Qingchen received the news that the people from the Beacon Tower showed up at the Jiaofang Division, and chased after him.
And she just happened to meet the three of Wan Baolu in the Nanfeng Hall, and by coincidence, she took a fake top card.
After making contact before and after, it was easy to guess that the false avatar that Wan Baolu brought back to the house that night was the man in front of him!

Chapter 1022 Are you willing to give up the beacon building?
Dugu Xuejiao, master and servant, changed their clothes, went out, and went straight to Hongxiu Pavilion.
