Since Xiao Wenjun handed over the business to Song Yu, he spent more time in the Shizi Mansion. Originally, because Xiao Wen was poor, there were only a few people in the mansion and it was very clean.
When Xiao Wenqing left, he left the house to Xiao Wenjun. Obviously, the name "Shizifu" could no longer be used. It was a time when the Xiao family needed to hide its power and bide its time. Keeping this name would not arouse people's suspicion, so he ordered someone to make a plaque again.
Now it is her exclusive "Princess Palace".
With the help of Wang Jiuyuan, many secret guards were added to the mansion. Now the princess's mansion is like an iron barrel, without any outsiders, and it is extremely difficult for outsiders to come in.
Xiao Wenjun changed the subject and asked: "Is the money allocated to you for housing still enough?"
To say it is a house, it is better to say it is an intelligence agency.
When He Hong first arrived in Kyoto, he first settled in the Prince's Mansion. They and his group had no foundation in Kyoto. Apart from this mansion and savings of more than 100,000 taels, they had nothing. Talents, resources, and connections all needed to be accumulated from scratch.
But Xiao Wenjun couldn't wait that long, so he first gave He Hong a large amount of money, and based on the memory of his previous life, he spent a lot of effort to find the location where the Shadow Pavilion was built in his previous life. Now it seems that it is also a secret and reliable place.
place.
Leave professional matters to professional people. He Hong's loyalty is unquestionable. Xiao Wenjun only mentioned some impressive points and didn't worry about it anymore.
"There is still a balance of money, and the house has been completely renovated. According to the points you mentioned before, six places have been set up. There are also new confusing and hidden houses and formations on the outside. People who are not familiar with this place cannot enter.
.”
"Well, have you thought about what to name your newly purchased house?"
"I'm waiting for you to give it a name."
"This will belong to you from now on. Wouldn't it be better for you to give it a name?"
"Shadow Pavilion." He Hong pondered for a moment, "Master, what do you think?"
"Very good!" Xiao Wenjun raised his eyebrows. Sure enough, it was still the same name. Although it was a few years earlier than in the previous life, He Hong had not changed.
The Shadow Pavilion is not an ordinary intelligence agency. Compared with the Royal Guards Department, it has an additional supervisory department, which supervises the other five departments and checks each other. Each department has great power within its own scope but is not boundless.
One: In charge of assassination. Not only are there many masters, but everyone has their own unique assassination techniques.
Division Two: In charge of spying, ranging from the imperial palace, to ministers in the court, to border guards as far away as they are present. However, the Shadow Pavilion's power is currently only in Kyoto and Lanling and needs to be developed urgently.
The third place: Responsible for communication. The rapid transmission of news may affect the current situation. Therefore, people who are not excellent at Qinggong are not allowed to enter.
Four: In charge of torture, no matter how tough-talking you are, you have to be obedient when you get here.
Division Five: Responsible for destruction. People in Division Five are the most special. They may be blacksmiths, carpenters and other craftsmen, or they may be teachers. Everything is possible. The objects of destruction are also very wide, destroying cooperative relationships and destroying the enemy's important deployments.
, destroy the other party’s intelligence agency.
Division Six: Responsible for supervision and supervise the other five divisions to see whether they have abused their power and exceeded the scope of their authority.
The framework is set up, but the personnel are not yet fully in place.
"Are there any suitable candidates for the leaders of the Sixth Branch?"
"We haven't found them completely yet. I think it's better to recruit talents with less talent than indiscriminately. They must be trustworthy, have a clean background, and must pass many tests before they can be admitted to the Shadow Pavilion. I am now paying attention to those little beggars in the outer city."
"Well, I can rest assured that you will do your job. Don't be reluctant to give up money. Only with kindness and power can you be willing to work hard. If you don't have enough money, go to Song Yu's place to get it and just give me a report. If nothing happens, just leave."
After giving the instructions, He Hong did not leave. Xiao Wenjun looked at the way he was hesitant to speak and asked, "What else can I do?"
"Master, after you rejected the post sent by Concubine Guo, she went directly to Di'anmenwai Street. At this time, people started making a fuss at the gate of Wenyuanfang."
He Hong was very ashamed. All the master's future in-laws are top-notch people. No wonder the master yesterday told him not to take this relationship into account. No one else would be willing to get married with such a person, and would they still be members of the royal family?
"Let her make trouble, and tell Song Yu not to pay attention to her." Xiao Wenjun frowned slightly.
"I'm afraid that Concubine Guo will continue to make trouble, which will affect your reputation in Kyoto." He Hong had seen with his own eyes how capable Concubine Guo was of making trouble, and she was no less generous than a shrew in the market.
"She won't be in trouble for long, you can just go about your business with peace of mind." Xiao Wenjun sneered: "When the time comes, someone will fix her."
"Yes, I am resigning." He Hong bowed respectfully and left the princess' mansion.
…
"Is this how you open your business?" the woman shouted at the door of Wenyuanfang. Behind her were a dozen women and more than twenty maids and women, who seemed to have brought all the servants and wives at home.
.
This woman was about thirty years old, with delicate features and a face like a jade plate. She looked a bit colorful, but her angry expression distorted her facial features, deeply damaging her sense of beauty, and she appeared to be mean and ungrateful, with a small fortune.
She is Yu Wenyao's biological mother and Xiao Wenjun's future mother-in-law Guo Pin. Seeing her behavior, you know that she is also a person who cannot be put on the stage. No wonder the emperor re-appointed Concubine Yang as Yu Wenyao's adoptive mother.
Perhaps Wenyuanfang has its own traffic attribute, and her voice attracted countless people to watch.
"The things sold are so expensive and no one is allowed in. How can any shop in Kyoto do this kind of business?" Guo Pin saw that people were looking over, a flash of pride flashed in her eyes, and she raised her voice again.
"Madam, our store only accepts old customers. If you are sincerely interested in patronizing, you can go to the Kyoto Beauty opposite." The girl who welcomed the guests at Wenyuanfang replied unhurriedly. You could tell by looking at it that Wenyuanfang really treats people.
Very well trained.
"Bah! Who do you think you are? How dare you talk to me! I want you to know how powerful I am!"
After saying that, he winked at the woman behind him. The woman understood, took off the baggage from behind and took out the cotton strips that had just been prepared. The two of them walked away with their backs to each other, holding one end in each hand, and straightened the cotton strips.
There is writing on the cotton cloth, which reads: "Unscrupulous and profiteer, please return my hard-earned money!"
This was actually Yu Wenyao's idea. After Xiao Wenjun posted the script, he came up with the dirty method of gathering people to make trouble and holding up banners.
Guo Bin first saw how badly Wei's mother was beaten, and then was rejected mercilessly by Xiao Wenjun. The anger in her heart could no longer be suppressed. After receiving the news, she came directly to Wenyuanfang without hesitation.
got this banner.
At this time, she was still caring about her face and didn't want anyone to know her identity, so she just spoke out in disgust.
More and more people gathered around to watch the excitement, and they all talked about it. This shop has been criticized constantly since it opened. After a few days of silence, someone came to make trouble again.
The people in Wenyuanfang ignored the order because they had received it. Instead, taking advantage of the crowd, they began to promote their rouge cosmeceuticals and lured women to Kyoto Beauty to try out the new products.
