The person in the carriage did not come down, so the woman who should be a little pretty in the silhouette was Xiao Qingyi Liu, and after returning to Qingyi Tower, he saw the three big men sitting there eating melon seeds. He felt that life still depends on himself. He was going to the border to find Chen Leng, but he had already set out, but he was recovered before leaving Chang'an because His Majesty had an order.

Your Majesty was far away in Taishan and ordered him to leave for more than twenty days before he arrived in Chang'an. If he arrived one day later, he would leave.

"I understand."

Han Huanzhi said apologetically: "There are not enough staff."

Xiao Qingyi Liu sighed: "There are four old men who do odd jobs, of course there is not enough manpower."

Han Huanzhi corrected: "Three old men and one old man were arranged to go to Huaian."

Xiao Qingyi Liu sat down and breathed a long sigh: "I thank the three uncles for their praise. I don't want to continue to be in Chang'an. I want to go to the border and I want to go to war. Didn't I receive the news that the battle in the northern border is starting again? If I leave Chang'an, do you know where I am now? Do you know?"

Ye Fubian: "When you were on the way, you just ran to Dongjiang and got news that Chen Leng went to Northern Xinjiang. Then you chased him to Northern Xinjiang and found that the war was over. You wasted half a year on the road and didn't even do anything. Where do you think you would be?"

Xiao Qingyi Liu thought for a while: "I don't care. You asked me to stay. I want to add more money."

Ye Fubian said, "The wages are agreed upon."

Han Huanzhi: "No, no, no, this one is the one who works now, you have to be considerate."

Ye Fubian said: "We are so big as Qingyi Building, do you care about a person who does a mess?"

Ye Liuyun: "Don't do this, we'll be just a mess."

Ye Fubian: "Well, add it."

Xiao Qingyi Liu snorted: "In the future, we will collect protection fees and cause trouble. Can you find someone else to do such a job? I am a general after all. I really feel distorted when collecting protection fees. You are also a big shot. Qingyi Building is the three main responsibilities. Can you do something within your ability?"

Han Huanzhi got up and stuffed twenty taels of silver into Xiao Qingyiliu's hand: "Hold it first, it's not enough to tell me."

Xiao Qingyi Liu looked at the twenty taels of silver: "This"

Ye Liuyun said: "This is what Lord Han and I made up, and it is a special reward for you."

Ye Fubian: "My one is mine. Why did the twenty taels of silver you just sacked from me have become what you guys have collected in a blink of an eye?"

Han Huanzhi said: "What you lose to us is ours. Ye Liuyun is ten taels and I am ten taels. Of course we made up for it. What does it have to do with you?"

Ye Fubian: "Great Chang'an, people's hearts are sinister and not fun."

"The people from the Cheng family actually went to report to the officials."

Ye Fubian looked at Xiao Qingyiliu: "And it's time very fast."

Han Huanzhi frowned slightly: "According to the way Hongyuanzhai handled things, they fell to Qingyilou. They should have handled it in the way of the world. It is not difficult for them to hit Qingyilou with the people that Hongyuanzhai can mobilize. Xiao Qingyi Liu went to a semicolon, and it is normal that there was insufficient staff. It doesn't take half an hour to mobilize people from the general account, but they chose to report to the officials within half an hour and the people from the government arrived."

Ye Liuyun's eyes lit up: "Cheng Fanghe is in that semicolon."

Xiao Qingyi Liu sighed, "I'm going again?"

He looked at the eager eyes of the three men and stood up: "Okay, for twenty taels of silver."

Two moments later, in front of the Hongyuanzhai semicolon gate.

Xiao Qingyi Liu, wearing a cloak, wearing a green dress, carrying a long knife, was standing in front of Hongyuanzhai's door like a wooden stake. He looked at the door. The paper he posted that the debt merchant had been removed, so he took out another one from his arms. The two young men at Hongyuanzhai's door looked at each other, one of them looked at each other, one of them came over, took the paper from Xiao Qingyi Liu's hand and put it on the door.

Xiao Qingyi Liu smiled and felt that the world was so beautiful.

"I'm here to collect the accounts."

Xiao Qingyi Liu looked at the two people: "Please let me go in and report it."

Before he finished speaking, the two people ran into the room and then slammed the door. Xiao Qingyiliu stood at the door a little embarrassed, so he stepped forward and knocked on the door: "Can you pay a protection fee?"

On the second floor of Hongyuanzhai, the window was gently pushed open. Someone looked down from above. The expression on his face was indescribable. He glanced at Xiao Qingyi and then retracted his head and closed the window gently. This man looked in his forties, and his brocade clothes were enough to show his status. The brocade clothes were not comparable to the general because they were the regular clothes of the Duke.

Cheng Fanghe closed the window, returned to the main seat and sat down, and couldn't help but shake his head slightly: "The world is wrong."

"really."

The people from the Gao family are here, called Gao Mingyang.

"Mr. Cheng, this person outside has to deal with it. If this continues, how many people will laugh at me and say that Hongyuanzhai is over, but he is blocked by a secretly traversed person in the world and dare not provoke him. It would be bad if this is spread."

“Disposition?”

Cheng Fanghe shook his head slightly: "You also saw that person came in the morning. I asked someone to report to the official to deal with it. The people in Chang'an Mansion were a little disliked by Qingyilou. I sent someone to say a few more words and distribute them to the constables below. This matter can be handled. But who knows who came and sent the people from Chang'an Mansion away in a casual sentence. After a while, I couldn't find out who the person in the carriage was. I asked someone to take the silver bill to see Su Peilun. The money-loving guy didn't even dare to accept the silver bill, but he just didn't tell what the identity and origin of the people in the carriage were."

Cheng Fanghe looked at Gao Mingtang: "What else can I do now? Go to Chang'an Prefecture to report to the official? It's useless to go."

Gao Mingyang said: "If the staff on Cheng Gong's side are not easy to dispatch, I can send someone back and transfer a few people. No matter how powerful it is, it is only one person."

“I don’t think things are that simple.”

Cheng Fanghe said: "Xu Shaoyan is missing, do you know this?"

"I don't know."

Gao Mingyang was stunned: "When did it happen?"

“It’s been a while.”

Cheng Fanghe said: "Since the last time the Xu family had an accident, we have all guessed that something happened to Xu Shaoyan sooner or later. Who would have thought that it was lost? The people from the Xu family and the people from your Gao family were more closely connected, and you don't even know."

Gao Mingyang said: "Then how do you know, the news is accurate?"

"I know, because Xu Shaoyan left me that day, and he discussed countermeasures with me, and agreed to come again the next day, but he didn't come the next day, and he didn't come on the third day. Then I sent someone to his mansion to ask, but it turned out that Xu Gong was sick and did not see the guests. What kind of illness could he have just left me? And if I knew that the person I sent would not disappear, because we had just got a clue about what we were going to discuss."

Gao Mingyang's eyes flashed: "You two businessmen

What to measure?”

"Discussed"

Cheng Fanghe lowered his voice and said, "How did the late emperor die?"

Gao Mingyang's face changed: "You dare to mention this matter, but you pretend to forget it. I regret knowing that matter now. Let me agree first, don't mention it to me, and don't tell me that the people of our Gao family are cowardly and cannot do such a big thing. I will say goodbye first."

"joke."

Cheng Fanghe sneered: "The people in your Gao family are cowardly? It's just that you two are cowardly. When your father was there a few years ago, people from each family sat down to talk, and everyone followed his leader. You brothers did not inherit the good at all."

"I said stop talking."

Gao Mingyang said: "We brothers are not that bold, and we are not as thoughtful as you. At best, we just want to have a place in the court with the Gao family."

"Can you be willing?"

Cheng Fanghe leaned forward, looked at Gao Mingyang's eyes and said, "Don't forget, you are descendants of Queen Gao."

The founding queen of Daning.

"So what's wrong."

Gao Mingyang clasped his fists: "Goodbye."

Cheng Fanghe's face turned pale and slapped the table with a bang: "A bunch of waste that is not enough to make."

The middle-aged man beside him was the official in Cheng's mansion, named Cheng Wuqi. He lowered his voice and said to Cheng Fanghe: "Master, don't be angry first, let's deal with the guy outside first. I don't think so. Master, please leave this first. That person comes back so soon, maybe he is for the Duke. Be careful, no mistake, Xu Shaoyan has disappeared. I suspect that there is a group of people in Chang'an targeting various major families, maybe it's Qingyilou."

Cheng Fanghe nodded: "Give him money, give him money, let him get out."

He stood up: "I went to Lin Miaozhai, sent the man below away and stared at him, not only staring at him, but also staring at Qingyilou to see who is in and out. In addition, you only know where I am, so you are not allowed to mention it to others."

Cheng Wuqi nodded quickly: "Don't worry, I will handle it."

Cheng Fanghe nodded, got up, put on his clothes and walked out, walked a few steps, and then turned back: "By the way, I sent someone to stare at the Yingxin Building. Why do I feel like Ye Liuyun is back? Can you guarantee that Han Huanzhi is back?"

Cheng Wuqi said: "It shouldn't be true, one is on the grassland and the other is in the northern border."

Cheng Fanghe frowned: "There is something you said just now, be careful and have no mistakes. I will go to Lin Miaozhai first, and you can deal with the outside affairs."

After saying that, Cheng Fanghe went downstairs and went out through the back door. A carriage was waiting behind him. After getting on the carriage, the doors and windows were quickly closed. Soon the carriage turned into the street. Not long after the carriage left the back door of Hongyuanzhai, Han Huanzhi rubbed his hands in a small alley behind, pulled down the hat on his head a little, and followed in the direction of the carriage.

The carriage walked along the street. Lin Miaozhai was a teahouse, a high-end teahouse. It is said that if you drink tea here once, even if you drink the cheapest kind of tea, you will have to spend fifty or sixty taels of silver at a time. Two taels of silver per family can spend a month, fifty taels of silver a cup of tea. This is the difference in levels.

The carriage did not stop at the front door of Lin Miaozhai, but instead circled a few times before stopping on the street next door. Cheng Fanghe got out of the carriage in a cold manner, glanced at both sides and quickly entered the back door of a shop, came out from the front door of the shop, and then entered Lin Miaozhai.
