In the Ming Dynasty, the redemption price for a high-end Yangzhou thin horse was only 500 to 800 taels. Only the top ones would be sold for thousands of taels. As for those sold for 2,000 or 3,000 taels, they were basically rare.
, which must be mixed with various stories and has nothing to do with the actual market price.
Therefore, it was enough for Zhao Ran to be surprised that a beautiful girl could be sold for such a high price.
Zongdao of the Wei Dynasty said: "The buyers all come from the sea. These island owners, casual cultivators, use seafood to offset the price and are always generous with their spending. For example, Taoist Tingfeng has spent six thousand taels of silver in less than half a year in Jiangnan. Taoist Tingfeng
It is said that five years ago, a man named Gu once brought out a top quality product, which was bought by Wutong Taoist, the master of Ling'ao Island, for ten thousand taels of silver. He found out the news too late, otherwise he would have joined the competition. Mainly from Xiu'an.
The woman was trained very well, and it is said that she got it..."
Wei Sanniang frowned and interrupted: "Okay, stop talking about these nonsense, let's talk about the case."
Wei Chaozong smiled and continued to analyze the case.
The Taoist of Lingtai Mountain should know Lan Tianyu. If you catch Lan Tianyu, you may be able to ask him for more detailed information about this person. But it is a pity that the order of arrest cannot be wrong. If you just invite Lan Tianyu to drink tea,
If so, I'm afraid it's really just about drinking tea.
The most critical thing is how to find this Lingtai Mountain Taoist. It is a pity that the Beishanfang Lane where Dongji Pavilion was originally guarded was the place closest to a successful arrest. Unfortunately, it was ruined by the spring breeze and Guanyun. Now three days have passed.
For more than a month, the value of squatting there has dropped to almost zero.
Of course, Dongji Pavilion still arranged for people to continue to keep watch. Although the hope was slim, what if the Lingtai Mountain Taoist was stupid? Moreover, Dongji Pavilion also forged a similar "ghost recipe" and hung it again at the door, hoping that there would be unsuspecting people.
"New customers" have come to our door, but unfortunately we haven't met any of them so far, which also shows that the Taoist from Lingtai Mountain is very likely to have known about the exposure of the stronghold.
For this reason, the angry Wei Sanniang went into the dungeon every now and then and beat Chunfeng and Guanyun violently to suppress her hatred. These two Taoists suffered from old age and their days were really like years.
Although Beishanfang's clues were interrupted, Wu Jia and Ding Si interrogated extremely sharply and came up with an interesting clue. This Lingtai Mountain Taoist was probably a gambler who was fond of Guanbao. After listening to the wind Taoist and Lingtai Mountain Taoist only
In some of the three meetings, the other party talked about betting.
The first time was five years ago. When the other party talked to him about the competition for the throne of the Sanqing Pavilion Master, he excitedly wanted to bet with him whether Yunnan Yuzhenren or Shaanxi Ningzhenren would succeed. As a result, Tingfeng Taoist
I lost three hundred taels of silver.
The second time was three years ago, when the other party talked to him in detail about the results of the Zongshenguan Senior Brother's sword test of the Three Provinces and Four Refiners, and encouraged him to participate in a private bet, intending to use a huge amount of money to buy four
He lost all the battle. He took out three hundred taels and gave it to the other party to place bets, but he had no time to pay attention to it. Because of this, he got into a dispute with some casual cultivators by chance, and then they got into a fight.
Taoist Tingfeng was very angry when he talked about this matter. He still didn't understand it. He just said a few words casually, which might have offended the senior brother, but it immediately aroused the inexplicable anger of several "young heroes", and the most disturbing thing was that
What he didn't understand was that the three "Young Heroes" were all with cultivation levels below Huang Guan. After he revealed his cultivation level as an Archmage, they still rushed forward without fear of death, shouting something like "I will punish this person today."
"獠", it was as if they had a deep hatred against themselves. Of course, the result of the fight was that the three young knights were seriously injured on the spot, and Taoist Tingfeng was also sent to Dongji Pavilion, and fell into the hands of Wu Jia and Ding Si.
The third time was in December last year. Taoist Master Tingfeng and two disciples invited him to have a meal in a restaurant. During the dinner, they talked about the practice ball lottery that had just ended.
Although he didn't pay much attention to it, he listened with great interest, and thus got to know a little more about the young talents of various schools and sects.
Dongji Pavilion asked about the appearance of the two disciples, but Tingfeng Taoist could not describe it. Moreover, his impression was still very vague, and he could only describe it with the words "extremely ordinary", which made it impossible to complete the portrait painting work smoothly.
Therefore, the goals of Dongfang Li and Wei Chaozong shifted to practicing lottery. According to the confession of Taoist Tingfeng, Taoist Lingtai Mountain bought lottery tickets every issue. He hoped that Zhao Ran would provide lottery outlets throughout the capital and planned to strengthen manpower in the next round.
Stay tuned during the sale of lottery tickets.
Zhao Ran asked: "How many people are you planning to dispatch?"
Wei Chao Zongdao: "There are more than 20 people who can be dispatched now. These more than 20 people are the experts that Dongji Pavilion can dispatch from the three provinces of Zhili, Zhejiang, and Jiangxi. Their cultivation levels range from Huang Guan to Great Master.
, the most important thing is to be completely trustworthy, and Dongji Pavilion will not inform them of the target they want to capture before taking action, so there is no possibility of leaking the information. In addition, Dongfang Li has also recruited five key members of the West Hall of Sanqing Pavilion to join.
Thirty people were gathered together.
This case is the most important case that Dongji Pavilion has investigated for many years, and there is no room for error.
But with such a small amount of manpower, it was still a bit stretched. Therefore, Dongfang Li wanted Zhao Ran and Luo Zhiqing to join in. In addition, he wanted an exact list of lottery distribution points.
"Zhiran, although Li Dayin and Pei Zhongze started the practice ball lottery on the surface, but we all know that you are actually behind it. Zhiran worked hard to find us a list of sales points, so that we can completely control it.
, nothing was missed.”
Zhao Ran had no problem. He had a detailed list at his fingertips. There was even a marked map of the capital attached to the list. The layout of the sales points was originally divided according to the principles he proposed. These principles include: Maximum
The principle of coverage, the principle of convenience of purchase, and the principle of cost saving. According to this layout, there are 53 sales points in the entire capital, and the sales amount in the last period reached 21,100 taels, one-tenth of the world's total.
Everyone was overjoyed and immediately began to study the drawing. After studying it, they always felt that it was difficult for one person to focus on two points. Feeling in a dilemma, Zhao Ran suggested narrowing the scope: "Since this person likes lottery tickets, then go
Let’s check the lottery tickets.”
So I introduced the statistical mechanism of practicing lottery to everyone, focusing on the lottery wooden box and wooden cabinet specially developed by Dajun Mountain for this purpose. The wooden box is used to collect lottery tickets and send them to the person in charge of the lottery issuance area in each province.
After receiving the list, enter the daily list into a large wooden cabinet, and set up a talisman array in the wooden cabinet for calculation, statistics and screening.
After listening, everyone suddenly understood, Wei Chaozong said: "No wonder the lottery can be issued every seven days... once a week, and the prizes can be redeemed very quickly. It turns out that this is the secret."
