Chapter 8

After the assassination of Ning Xin in Fanzi Hutong was reported at the Jiang family, it really aroused Jiajing's anger

Shuntian Prefecture and Xicheng Military and Masi Si, who were responsible for the security of the capital, were both severely reprimanded. Ge Zhiye and Liao Xi were claimed to be a serious crime by the emperor, and the emperor had a strict order, requiring the two major yamen to track down the murderer within one month, otherwise they would be severely punished.

My clone Li Tong was promoted to the Qianyi family because of his contribution to protecting the royal family. Jiang Chi laughed at me as a blessing in disguise and asked me when I would marry Ning Xin.

A mere deputy family may not be able to see the eyes of the dynasty prince!

I laughed twice, but thought to myself that under the intentional spread of Chong Yao and the Jiang family, my marriage with Ning Xin has become the emperor's designated marriage. Such news may have reached the ears of the King of Dai.

The elderly Dai Wang probably has no interest in fighting against the emperor, so what is left is just a matter of face. Everyone is in a tacit understanding. As long as my weight is enough to satisfy Dai Wang, the marriage will be extremely smooth.

What's more, the Dai Wang is old, what the Dai Wang Mansion really says is the Dai Princess and the Chong Yao couple

I have always had a way of doing women, and Chongyao is his own allied army. Maybe it won't take long before Ning Xin can marry me rightfully

Although the ministers in the court have a lot of discussions about my promotion, and even Gui E, who is unaware of the truth, everyone is just talking about the matter.

It is difficult for foreign relatives to interfere in politics. This is a fine tradition in the Ming Dynasty. Although Bai Lan was in charge of the world, in the eyes of most bureaucrats, it is unimaginable that two princes and princesses will take over this important task in a row.

Besides, even if the emperor intends to reuse his relatives, it is not the turn of Li Tong to the front. The Jiang family has six brothers!

In the eyes of everyone, my Chaoxing is just for the need to marry Ning Xin.

Jiang Chi nodded and casually ordered the craftsman leader responsible for the renovation of the Xianling Palace, saying that in order to respect the Taoist sect, this project does not seek the fastest, but the best. Every brick and stone tile must be carefully selected, and every joint must stand the scrutiny of history.

If one month is not enough, then two months; if two months are not enough, then three months remember that this is a project chosen by the emperor, and there must be no place that damages the royal demeanor and style!

Then, the construction site was required to be kept clean and clean anytime and anywhere to facilitate the emperor's arrival.

The leader understood that the progress of the project was getting slower and slower.

Dongshan, your mouth is so black that you can tell it plainly. I praised the lies so loudly that I can't even do anything. After all, in the officialdom, I am still a newcomer, and the advantages of the children of Jiang Chi's family of officials are revealed at this moment.

What a skill you have ever seen before, and you said that the dead were alive! Jiang Chi smiled disapprovingly, and then changed the topic: By the way, Ziyu, I have heard that your wife and four concubines in Jiangnan are all national colors, but the two women you brought home last night were said to be very unsurprising. Could it be that they are like you, and they are all unstoppable?

I felt a stern in my heart. It was not because the news came to Jiang Chi's ears soon. I knew that although there was no one monitoring at Ma Ningzi Hutong, Koudu Hutong was under the supervision of the emperor's spy, but even Jie Xu and the other two girls were clearly visible. Then it was probably because Ning Xin's maid had a spy. No wonder Chong Yao's every move was under the control of the emperor.

Perhaps, Chong Yao knew who the spy was, and he wanted to keep her by his side so that he could show his honesty and loyalty to the emperor.

But to me, this is quite annoying. Fortunately, women may be the most determined informant, but it is also likely that they are completely opposite...

Disguise is not omnipotent. My disguise skills are absolutely first-class in the world, but you see,

I took out the disguise supplies I carried with me: Why do I still have these things with me?

Because you have to prepare to repair flaws anytime and anywhere, just like a woman who puts makeup on, the most feared thing about disguise is water. Therefore, sweat is the enemy of disguise. So when you use disguise to a woman, be careful to become a big face! As he said that, he picked some disguise cream and applied it to Jiang Chi Feidudu's face. The sweat on his forehead slid down. After a while, the disguise cream turned into a soul-painted piece like a soul painting.

Ordinary disguise techniques do have this weakness, but the Tang family's disguise techniques have long exceeded this level.

Just like the one used by Jieyu, unless it is soaked in a liquid similar to seawater for a long time, only the secret potion made by Tangmen can wash away the disguise cream. Although it was cut corners, Wei Rou no longer felt that she would reveal her true face when bathing with me and Ning Xin.

In order to prevent Jiang Chi, I used ordinary disguise techniques. If Jiang Chi could understand the secret of the Tang Sect, it would be many years later.

But why haven't I seen you use it to make up for any makeup? Jiang Chi said suspiciously

I put my face in front of Jiang Chi: Dongshan, do you think I have sweat on my face? I have a deep internal strength and don’t do strenuous exercise, so I won’t sweat a lot. Besides, you should be a thing that women should do as makeup, do men look good when they do it? To repair the flaws, of course, I did it on your back.

Jiang Chi suddenly realized and immediately said depressedly: So, is this disguise technique of no use to me? I am so fat and sweats when I move...

So, for you, the Thirteen Sutras of Dongxuanzi are the king! I smiled: When the Thirteen Sutras are practiced, I am afraid that the princess will be going to collect a few concubines for you, so why would you like to have a bird look!

The Thirteen Sutras are really a good thing! When Jiang Chi mentioned the Thirteen Sutras, he immediately became interested: Not to mention that I am sleeping soundly now. I woke up these days and my eggs were hard like sticks, and they were so perky that they almost stuck to my belly. This is something I have never seen in recent years. Even my wife was amazed by the emperor when he heard it. He was very interested and asked me how to ask for the Thirteen Sutras and said where to see it!

As expected, I thought to myself that the Thirteen Sutras of the Cave Xuanzi that taught Jiang Chi and Jiang Yunzhu not only had my deletion, but also I deliberately strengthened the part of quickly strengthening the foundation and cultivating the essence. It is really not the best way to say it

But the difference between kingly way and domineering is only between the first line. Even if you are a foster father Shao Yuanjie, you may not be able to distinguish it from the theoretical point of view for a while. You can only detect some clues from the effect of cultivation, because the kingly way is relatively domineering and slower to enter the country.

Although Jiang Chi is obese, his body has a thick foundation. Once he abstinence, the kidney water will soon fill up. In addition, with the domineering Thirteen Meridians, it would be strange if he doesn't have morning erection! And for such a good thing, he naturally has to share it with the emperor.

I felt proud, but my face was not revealed at all, but I frowned, looking like I was reluctant to speak but stopped.

Jiang Chi took the bait, rolled his eyes and asked: What, is there anything wrong? Ziyu, although you said that these thirteen scriptures cannot be spread out, but the emperor is still different...

Dongshan, where do you want to go! I said dissatisfiedly: In the world, is it the king's land, what is born from the king's land, it originally belongs to the emperor, but according to my observation, the emperor's situation is very different from yours... I deliberately stopped and stopped talking

Jiang Chi was stunned: Is this related to practicing the Thirteen Sutras?

Why didn’t you? Remember Confucius said that teaching according to your aptitude, and the same is true for the Thirteen Sutras. The steps of your cultivation in Dongshan may not be suitable for the Emperor Ah!

Jiang Chi blinked his eyes, as if he understood something, and thought for a long time before he said: Ziyu, you said, the situation between the emperor and me is very different, how do you say this?

But I looked at him and said that no matter how Jiang Chi begged, I laughed. Until he made a poisonous oath and said that it would never be a rumor, I said: According to my experience, the emperor probably started to be blessed with a woman when he was young. The kidney water is now thin. Although the Thirteen Meridians are the kingly way, the method of cultivation is to help the strong or not to help the weak. If the emperor practices rashly, if there is no effect, I will blame you and me. Of course, it is also very likely that I have missed the situation. Unless I can personally diagnose the emperor's pulse, it is all just speculation.

It is naturally nonsense to support the strong or the weak. However, Jiajing's body was almost hollowed out by the female sex. He must be much slower than Jiang's cultivation. It is not easy to see the effect so quickly. This is undoubtedly true. Otherwise, the adoptive father's generation of famous artists in the room, and the way he was right, and the emperor would have been effective long ago. How could he have to wait for ten years?

Jiang Chi didn't know the secret of this, and he didn't know that there was a tacit understanding between Shao Yuanjie and me. When I heard that the emperor's situation was almost completely accurate, my face changed suddenly and I stomped my feet and said anxiously: What should I do! I'm going to leave the Palace of Epiphany and go to the palace to see the emperor

Dongshan, wait! I hurriedly stopped him: Do you want to tell the emperor that the Thirteen Classics will help the strong but not the weak, so it will be useful to me, but it will be useless to you. Doesn’t this mean that the emperor cannot catch up with you in that regard? It would be a big mistake if you don’t drive you out in the court!

To Ah! Jiang Chi woke up and smiled bitterly: No wonder you refused to say it just now, so that's it! But what if the emperor practiced... Alas, how could this end?

Don't worry, maybe I'm just missing...

Jiang Chi immediately interrupted me: Ziyu, let me be honest, you didn’t care at all, why did Zhenren Shao treat the emperor for nearly a year and no one in the harem became pregnant?

That's it! I pondered, as if I was thinking about countermeasures, but in fact I had already made up my mind: Dongshan, I can't tell whether the Thirteenth Sutra is useful to the emperor, but at least it's not harmful. At most, the effect is not obvious. Let the emperor practice for a while first. Maybe it's right. The emperor's spleen and stomach are more effective than you! If it's useless and the emperor blames it, you push it on me and say that this is what I taught, I will be wronged by Master Shao, and then I will say that the Thirteenth Sutra and Master Shao's conditioning method are somewhat conflicting. This theoretical thing has always been said that the mother has reason, and the mother says that the mother has reason. The emperor clearly sees Wanli, and will naturally understand this principle, and he will not go into it in depth. Master Shao is a real person who has attained enlightenment. I don't think he will be calculating with me, the younger generation. As for the words that support the strong or not, Dongshan, you can keep it and enjoy it secretly!

Jiang Chi looked at me for a long time and suddenly laughed: Ziyu, when Chen Xiyi just returned to Beijing, Lord Gui invited him, and I went there too. He talked about your helping me. At that time, I thought that being your friend is probably a very happy thing, but being your opponent will be much more uncomfortable. Today, I see this matter, you are enough, I, Jiang Dongshan, want to make good friends.

Aren't we friends? I asked with a smile, but I sighed in my heart. Fate has destined to be difficult for us to become friends, because there is an insurmountable emperor between us. You must understand it if you are smart! However, as long as you can maintain an attitude towards friends, then in two or three years, I will give you a world of peace and prosperity.

Haha, I was wrong, Jiang Chi laughed

The craftsmen were confused and turned around and looked at them. Seeing the two men holding each other and laughing, someone whispered: No matter how I look, I look like two co-starring bastards!

The two left the Xianling Palace and went to the construction site of Chenlizi Hutong to see it. Although the progress was affected by the heavy rain, in general, everything was in progress in an orderly manner.

The foreman Gongshu told us that the rainy season in the capital will pass soon, and then the progress will be faster.

And together with the autumn wind, it is the best time to make indoor furniture. With so many craftsmen in hand, it is very likely that all the houses can be put into use in winter.

So fast! Jiang Chi was quite excited. The real estate here was the first project he invested independently in his life, so he naturally wanted to get a big shot

Turning to Kuanche Hutong, where the projects of Datong Money House, Tongshenghe and Baoyuefang are also in full swing, and the decoration projects on the four streets are everywhere. In less than half a month, there have been earth-shaking changes here.

Datong is a famous big money shop in the country; Tongshenghe is one of the top pharmacies in Beijing. His boss also has Tongxintang, a famous tribute rouge powder manufacturer in Beijing; and although Baoyuefang was first introduced to the capital, it is well-known in Jiangnan, these three shops account for almost one-third of the cross-cars. Once built and put into use, it will bring a big leap to the image of Sihutong and completely get rid of the slums.

Ziyu, do you think it is profitable to build a restaurant?

But I can make money, it seems that several companies are already making this idea. I pointed to several houses in the alley that are building two-story buildings and said: Restaurants are the most worried. They need to have trustworthy people to manage their accounts and have a few good chefs to attract business. I can still find acquaintances in Suyang. But in Beijing, do you have acquaintances in this industry? No, then forget it, just be honest and make the idea!

Otherwise, let’s open a brothel? Didn’t you open a Qinlou in Suzhou? You should be the best at this

Unfortunately, crossing the car is a gathering place for students from other places...

Hey, that doesn't just solve their problem, why is it a pity? Jiang Chi interrupted me and said

Tsk! Although I am a thief, I am a scholar at least. Scholars are the best at face. A brothel is under my nose, so why not make a fuss? Besides, Fanzi Hutong is not far from here, one-on-seven, even a god can't win

As he was talking, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in his sight

It's too Qi! When Jiang Chi saw him, he shouted

Brother, Brother Li, are you here to see Chen Lizi’s progress! Jiang Kui said with a look of spring breeze: Brother Li has a unique vision, and the changes in this land are really amazing!

Jiang Chi nodded and asked him why he had come here too

Jiang Kui said proudly: Brother Li is not an outsider, so I just said it. Brother, you know, my father has always wanted to open a jewelry store in Beijing. Today, the emperor is sure. The partner of the cooperation is Yin Family, the master of the jewelry industry in Jiangnan. The name is also in the Yin Family's font. Emperor Bao Daxiang also said that the jewelry used in the harem in the future will be handed over to Bao Daxiang, Beijing, to buy it. Hehe, this is a business that only makes money but not loses! The good days of his Zhang family Jiguzhai are coming to an end!

He turned around and pointed at the Kuaiche Hutong: No, I'll take a look at whether there is a suitable land here. Not to mention, I really liked one, but the price is too outrageous.

Jiang Chi asked about the price. Although the amount surprised him, he was not sure about the things in the business world, so he turned to look at me.

The emperor's weapon is a little less Ah! I didn't show any expression on my face, but I sighed in my heart. The master was suspicious and the minister was afraid. The minister was afraid, so I had to protect myself and develop two thoughts. This is a matter of course

Besides, I am just the son-in-law of the Yin family. Can I really tie my hands and feet when I bring the Yin family to the capital?

I couldn't help but thank the master. He was far-sighted. After accepting me as a disciple, he immediately started to deal with my identity. My father also left Yingtian. At least in the official archives, my father and I have no relationship. This is probably one of the reasons why the emperor took the Yin family as a hostage!

Jiang Chi urged me again, and then I said contemptuously: The land price sounds high, but it was just because the land price was too low when I bought the land. It doubled out of thin air within a few days. It would be strange if I didn’t think it was high! But compared with the surrounding land prices, such as Fengsheng and Bingmasi, it is much lower here!

It seemed that my sarcastic tone was a little too much, so I eased: Bao Daxiang could enter the cross-car, and the real estate of the four major alleys benefited, and I, Li Tong, was no exception. Let's do this. Bao Daxiang really came in and I would have to bear 10% of the land price.

The Jiang brothers looked at me unexpectedly, but both of them were very smart and soon realized that I was the real one who only made money and did not lose money. Jiang Kui rolled his eyes a few times and said with a smile: Brother Li is a smart person, and he is not stupid either. If Brother Li can bear 30% of the money...

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Jiang Chi: Fourth brother, don’t let Ziyu make things difficult for everyone to be mutually beneficial. Speaking of which, you don’t pay for the money you buy for the land by yourself. Wouldn’t it be enough to ask for more than two more people with the Yin family?

Jiang Kui hesitated for a moment before saying: But the emperor has an order to treat the Yin family with sincerity. I don’t know where the Yin family came from? I remember that he said that day at the Tang Wujing in Baihualou, saying that your boss Wang Dong is the son-in-law of the Yin family, but how capable can a mere minister of the Ministry of Justice be? Does he have any background? I was about to ask my elder brother!

Jiang Chi couldn't help laughing: Fourth brother, let me ask you first, except for our Jiang family, who is the emperor most proud of now?

Well, Gui, Fang, Zhang is the famous person in front of the emperor. Everyone knows this, but the one who values ​​the most is probably Shao Zhenren from the Exhibition Palace.

Not bad! Jiang Chi laughed and said: But Lord Gui is Wang Dong’s uncle, and Lord Fang is Wang Dong’s senior brother, you understand!

Why haven’t I heard of it? Jiang Kui was surprised: No wonder the emperor appointed the Yin family, it turned out that there was such a relationship!

The emperor's words were naturally intended to give me a reassurance. In front of the Jiang brothers, I also praised the emperor's kindness in the house.

Jiang Chi asked Jiang Kui how Bao Daxiang was preparing for the capital. Jiang Kui said that his father had sent someone to Jiangnan to invite the Yin family to discuss joint matters. As for the staffing, the Yin family must have a few people who know how to manage. The most difficult thing is that they lack large-scale players. They contacted Jiguzhai in private, but were rejected by others.

Anyway, there is still time. I will leave the house early. When the store is built, someone will come to you. Jiang Chi doesn't care and said casually: Brother, I will introduce you to me, Jiang Yan, Madam Jiang, this woman is very familiar with the family members of the rich. Put Bao Daxiang on your errands, right on the way

My heart suddenly moved. Although Jiang Yan did not have the same trick as Song Sanniang in Jiyuezhai, she did have innate advantages in selling jewelry to women and prostitutes. However, things would never be as simple as Jiang Chi said. He probably wanted to let Jiang Yanbutt have a legitimate identity to enter and exit the wealthy courtyard. In this way, the two had probably reached a tacit agreement between them.

Jiang Chi is now starting to form his own team, control the world and focus on informant, and he is extremely right in this step!

Jiang Kui didn't seem to think much, and agreed immediately, just smiled and said: Big brother, Madam Jiang is still charming. Don't you want your brothers to change their words to call her sister-in-law?
