When Bai Changkong took his son out, above their heads, thousands of feet above the ground, in the thick dark clouds, a red bird shadow was staring at them.
From Yushunfang to Wuyinfang, Bai Changkong and others ran all the way, and the bird shadow followed them all the way.
Several guards were left waiting at Xiao Guan'er's home. Bai Changkong and Bai Lang went underground. The bird shadow took a long breath and slowly landed on the roof of a small building in the backyard of Xiao Guan'er's home.
The big parrot raised by Lu Qian was very sneaky. It poked its head out from behind the roof beast on the ridge, looked around for a while with its round eyes.
Silently, it raised its wings and shook them vigorously. The big parrot cursed in a low voice.
"I'm just a talker. When did I start working hard?"
"A bunch of inconsiderate grandchildren!"
The big parrot cursed a few times, exhaled, raised its tail, and held its stomach very hard. A stream of bird droppings spurted out, sprinkling bits and pieces into Xiao Guan'er's backyard.
The big parrot flapped its wings and soared into the sky, disappearing into the dark clouds in an instant.
About a quarter of an hour later, the rabbit, which was round and round, with fat all over its body swaying with every step it took, climbed up the wall stealthily, twitching its nose, and arrived at the roof ridge where the big parrot had just been hiding.
The rabbit grinned, with a hint of humanity on its round face that could be called a treacherous expression.
It looked around the yard for a while, sniffed the fragrant scent left by the big parrot in the air, and silently followed the roof tiles to the side room where Bai Changkong and others entered the underground passage.
The two long hairs on the tips of the rabbit's ears trembled, and he listened carefully to the movement in the side room.
After a short while, it breathed a sigh of relief, leaped directly from the roof, jumped more than ten feet away, landed lightly on the courtyard wall, and arrogantly walked along the courtyard wall.
After walking seven or eight steps, he raised his tail and left a puddle of cat urine on the top of the wall. Then he jumped off the courtyard wall and ran away without a trace.
Yushunfang, the gate of the Survey Department station.
Lu Qian had a rocking chair moved and placed under the porch at the gate.
He was sitting on a rocking chair, holding a small teapot made of purple clay, sipping tea in small sips, and looking at the busy workers in the ruins of Lantian Garden opposite with a smile.
The huge Lantian Garden was burned into a broken kiln, and the Bai family invited workers to clean up the ruins early in the morning.
Just as Lu Qian was looking around, he saw one cart after another of broken bricks and tiles, as well as the roof beams, pillars and other objects that had been burned to charcoal. Some of them were affected by the fire and were burnt to black. They were completely burned.
All the ancient trees that had no ornamental value were cleared away and transported out using special large vehicles.
The Bai family is very public-spirited and they are afraid that these wastes will be left on the streets and pollute the environment of Yushunfang.
So the workers they hired and the vehicles they used to transport the construction waste were all specially designed four-wheel trucks used by wealthy grain merchants to transport large quantities of grain.
The five-foot-long four-wheeled truck has a boxy carriage made of iron sheets. The fully enclosed carriage has no seams. After the garbage is piled into the truck, not a single dregs will fall to the ground.
As the workers were busy, one truck after another left the ruins of Lan Tian Yuan and drove slowly along the street to the No. 2 Pier of Yushunfang not far away.
Yushunfang is full of dignitaries and the land is almost completely developed. It is impossible to find a place to dispose of these construction waste in Yushunfang.
According to the information obtained by the people below, the Bai family hired a large number of sleds at Pier 2. The construction waste will be transported along the canal to the "Yanzifang" in Jiupinfang City, thousands of miles away to the west, to dig deep pits and bury it.
Yanzifang is a "reserved village" and a "firewood workshop".
Jiupinfang City is the largest city in Haojing City in terms of area, but its degree of development is almost zero. The area of Yanzifang is almost ten times the size of Yushunfang, but the entire Yanzifang has less than 100,000 residents.
There are 100,000 people, all of whom have been cutting firewood and burning charcoal for generations.
The significance of the existence of Chai Xinfang is to provide the firewood needed for daily life in Haojing Gaofang City.
After these construction wastes are dug and buried deep in Yanzifang, they will be assimilated by the land in a few years and become nutrients needed for the growth of firewood.
Lu Qian tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest of the rocking chair.
He turned to look at Ahu, who was standing next to him and had already put on a white brocade guard robe.
Ah Hu grinned, put two fingers into his mouth, and blew an extremely high-pitched, harsh whistle.
At the far corner of the street, more than a mile away from Lu Qian's place, a dozen idle men wearing various clothes and powerful figures, squatting at the foot of the wall in a daze, stood up.
Several four-wheel trucks passed by them slowly, and these idle men suddenly shouted in unison: "What are you looking at me for?"
Hearing a whistle, these idle men all pulled out an iron rod more than a foot long from their sleeves and rushed towards the servants of the Bai family who were escorting the truck. The iron rods made a "whirring" sound and became solid.
It fell on the Bai family servant who was caught off guard.
Amidst the cries of pain, the wheels of several trucks were smashed, the axles were broken, and the carriages fell heavily to the ground. The heavy bricks and tiles crushed the iron carriages, and rolled all over the floor.
.
Several trucks were overturned in succession, and the Bai family servant was beaten until his head was covered with bruises and he fell to the ground.
The idle men who attacked them for no reason laughed, turned around and ran away. They turned around the street, merged into the crowd of people on the street, and ran away without a trace.
The reaction of the guards of the Bai family was not unpleasant. When seven or eight guards heard the screams of their own family, they rushed out immediately and rushed over in a hurry.
The idle man ran away without a trace, leaving only the overturned servant rolling on the ground and wailing.
The guards of the Bai family looked around blankly, not knowing how to deal with this matter for a while.
Lu Qian stood up with a smile and handed the small teapot to the little eunuch standing next to him: "Keep an eye on the Bai family. There are also people watching these trucks. Why do I feel that they are transporting other things outside?
Woolen cloth?"
The little eunuch took the teapot and smiled sinisterly: "If the adults say they have ghosts, they must have ghosts. We sent a letter to the brothers along the way to keep an eye on the boat they hired to make sure they don't fly into the sky.
"
Lu Qian nodded.
There was a sharp curse in the air, and the big parrot panted heavily, flapped its wings and fell from the air, opened its claws, and grabbed Lu Qian's shoulder hard.
Lu Qian stretched out his fingers and pinched the big parrot's mouth.
"Shut up and don't make any noise. I'll give you something delicious later. You guys, just do whatever you have to do. If there is any news from the Supervisor, don't delay and report it to me immediately."
Lu Qian raised his head.
Perhaps it was because those who belonged to the Ghost Mother Cult were already dead and the other wounded had been transferred to the secret prison of the Gonggong Prison. The red lantern that was originally suspended in the sky disappeared without a trace.
Lu Qian looked in the direction of Lan Tianyuan again.
Across the boss's Lan Tianyuan, Lu Qian saw that on the fifth floor of the beautiful building that belonged to Bai Lu, the windows were open. In the early morning, the tall and beautiful girl he had seen was sitting.
window, playing with the various musical instruments collected by Bai Lu.
Bai Lu is not at home.
There was a fire last night, but she didn't show up.
I don’t know who this girl is from the Bai family, but she was able to break into the house, go straight into Bai Lu’s show building, and even play around with Bai Lu’s collections at will!
Lu Qian took a deep look at the girl, turned around and entered the station, entering the office room specially prepared for him in the third courtyard.
Six years ago, Lu Qian obtained the visualization map and rescued Ahu, who had traveled thousands of miles from Changzhou in the far north to finally come to Haojing. After gaining some strength, Lu Qian began to form his own power.
After several years of hard work, starting from small things.
Stinky tofu, grilled cold noodles, fried sesame cakes, wonton stalls... they are all small businesses with small profit margins and inconspicuousness. Those gadgets that the powerful people don't even care about are actually hanging around together, which makes it difficult for them to do so.
Lu Qian had a small situation.
Nowadays, stinky tofu stalls alone are distributed in more than 600 cities in Haojing, and each city has an average of more than 100 stinky tofu stalls.
These stinky tofu stalls, as well as other small stalls, have to hand over half of their profits to Lu Qian every day.
A pile of armpits makes a fur, and a pile of sand makes a mountain. Lu Qian’s daily income is a scary figure.
But more importantly, relying on these eyes and ears in the streets, Lu Qian's intelligence collection may not be as good as some official yamen in Dayin with thousands of years of history, but it has far exceeded that of ordinary wealthy families.
After sitting in the study for just a short while, Ahu came in and out and brought dozens of small, thin scrolls.
Lu Qian unfolded the scroll, and the movements on the streets of Wuyinfang, Kunpengfang, and Guotaiminan, Guotaiminan and Guotaiminfang were all visible in front of Lu Qian's eyes.
"What an old thief!" Lu Qian looked at the information on the small scroll and suddenly clapped and exclaimed.
Bai Changkong, indeed, made another move.
The big parrot set fire to his Lan Tianyuan, and the palace sent people to nail a Chuxiu gold medal on the door of his house.
The burning of Lan Tianyuan, in Lu Qian's view, was a blow to the reputation of Bai Changkong and the Bai family.
And Chu Xiu's gold medal pushed the Bai family into an extremely embarrassing situation.
But in just one morning, in the cities and towns closest to the imperial city, cultural and educational disciples had already begun to make noises.
What do they mean by the principle of "reception between heaven and man"?
They said that Lan Tianyuan was destroyed by fire because the world felt it was because the Bai family's house was too cramped.
They say that the Bai family wants to produce a 'noble man', and a noble man is like a 'golden phoenix', which only falls on sycamore trees and will not fall on ordinary trees.
Therefore, the destruction of Lan Tianyuan proves that the Bai family's family will prosper. It is said that the old will not go and the new will not come. This is the truth.
Some people even vowed that the entire Bai family would be 'developed'.
The small six-door courtyard is no longer worthy of the "Bai family" who is about to rise to the top. Therefore, this is a sign that the Bai family wants to renovate the courtyard. Only by burning the garden first can they build a bigger and better garden.
Lu Qian sat in the study, looking at the information in front of him, and remained silent for a long time.
Is there any other explanation?
These cultural disciples, Bai Changkong, how do they have such long mouths?
Before Lu Qian could recover from Bai Changkong's public opinion offensive, another burst of lively noises could be heard in the distance in the direction of Bai Changkong's home.
Lu Qian couldn't sit still anymore, got up hurriedly, and led people straight to where the noise came from.
