75.Chapter 75 Dismissal of power——Beat the roadblock 【02】
Shen Mingzhu was covered with a black gauze veil by Suxue (audio secret). Because this is a pier where clouds and dragons are mixed, even if there is a special passage, in order to avoid being looked at by idle people, ladies from well-known families always wear a veil that covers their whole body.
If you are traveling on weekdays, you can wear a hat that covers your neck.
The other maids who serve personally, including Suxue, also wear silk hats.
Fortunately, it is black gauze or white gauze, so their true faces cannot be seen from the outside, but they can see clearly what is going on outside through the thin shirt.
When they arrived at the agreed place, Shen Mingtang and Qingfeng Mingyue were not there to pick them up. Shen Mingzhu suddenly felt something was wrong.
Her intuition has always been very accurate.
She told Zhang Huai, "Let's go to the teahouse and sit for a while. You can send two people to investigate."
Zhang Huai agreed and sent two smart men there. Then he escorted Shen Mingzhu and others to the nearby Cyclamen Teahouse and booked the largest private room.
While waiting, Suxue twisted a handkerchief to clean her face, and Shen Mingzhu ordered Zhang Huai who was waiting outside.
"Zhang Huyuan, you take the four guards and follow me. Others don't have to enter the house. You first give Hou Shou 10,000 taels of silver and ask him to find a suitable place to buy a compound for everyone to live in. Then
Give him more money and let him make money by lending money first. In addition, he will also send two nuns to follow him to socialize with the three aunts and six wives to find out the news. Then he will buy a few more maids, cooks, and needlework.
The one above."
Zhang Huai agreed and immediately went to call Hou Shou.
Hou Shou is the person Chu Ji gave to Shen Mingzhu. He is eighteen years old this year. He is shrewd and capable, with big eyes that make him very clever, but he also has a sense of innocence that makes people undefended.
Because his name was Hou Shou and he was lean, everyone called him Skinny Monkey.
Zhang Huai told Hou Shou what Shen Mingzhu said, "Skinny Monkey, you are smart and the best person to do this. Don't screw it up."
Hou Shou immediately smiled and said: "Miss, please rest assured, I have no other skills, but I am first-rate in gathering information. Regardless of whether they are nobles, nobles, or high-ranking officials, I can handle them even if they are common people, street gangsters, and brothel clients."
You can talk and keep it so you won't let the lady down."
Suxue gave him the banknote and gave him a few words to look out for a few stout women who knew how to do some punching and kicking. Then she would be useful.
Hou Shou agreed, took the banknote, thought about it and reported to Shen Mingzhu: "Miss, I think the Jiaohua Fang in the southwest of the capital is very suitable. The Jiaohua Fang is a gentle gold-selling cave, and half of the fun in the capital is there.
Moreover, the northeast is where the dignitaries of the inner city live, the west is where gangsters gather, the east is Jingfang City, and the south is full of fireworks and willow lanes. If you want to find out more information, this is the best place."
Zhang Huai's face had always been expressionless, and now he frowned slightly, "A place like that..."
Shen Mingzhu smiled and said: "This place is very good, just go and do it and socialize with more people."
Hou Shou cupped his hand and said, "I have the order, I will go right away."
As soon as Hou Shou left, someone led Qingfeng in from outside. They hurried upstairs and greeted Zhang Huai first.
Zhang Huai informed him.
When Shen Mingzhu heard this, she immediately said: "Let Qingfeng come in."
She asked Qingfeng Mingyue to work as a servant for her brother. She was a clever person.
She saw that Qingfeng's face was not good, and the corners of her eyes were blue, and she suddenly felt nervous, worried about her brother, but she still sat calmly in the chair, "Qingfeng, where is the young master?"
