The first thousand and forty-nine chapters buy land
At the court that day.
Sure enough, an official mentioned what happened at the Huxian Guancheng Brigade camp in front of Li Er, and there were rumors outside that the people Du Hekeng killed were people from the Lu family.
Li Er asked curiously: "Lu Aiqing, do you know that this happened in broad daylight?"
Lu Mingyou stood up and said without changing his expression: "Your Majesty, this is nonsense. My sworn brother Lu Fu is a conscientious businessman who has been doing business in the northwest all year round. Speaking of which, I have been doing business for most of the year."
I haven’t seen him anymore, I just received a letter from him yesterday, saying that everything is fine with him, so how could he have gone to Hu County and been killed? This matter is completely false."
Lu Mingyou spoke, immediately dispelling everyone's doubts.
Li Er said angrily: "Humph, the dignified ministers of the court are trying to catch the wind and shadows. How can this be done by an official? Come on, drag this guy down for talking nonsense and beat him fifty times with a cane."
Since then, no one dared to mention what happened in the camp of the Hu County Guancheng Brigade.
…
Hu County.
Prince Consort's Mansion.
Li Ke sat opposite Du He, drinking a cup of fine tea like a cow drinking water, burping, spitting out two tea leaves, and then said: "Teacher, as you command,
I have moved all the Guancheng Brigade to the vicinity of Huxian Business Center and divided it into three detachments. The first detachment is stationed in the business center and is responsible for the security of the business center area. The second detachment is stationed in Huxian County.
, is responsible for maintaining the security of the county, and the third detachment is stationed next to the new headquarters of Dream Group and is responsible for protecting Dream Group."
Du He's order only asked Li Ke to move the Guancheng Brigade camp to the vicinity of the business center.
But Li Ke is a smart man. He can see at a glance that the three most important places in Hu County today are the Dream Group headquarters, the county seat, and the business center. Unfortunately, the three places are not close to each other, and the city management team has to mobilize a lot.
It was inconvenient, so after thinking for a while, he split the Guancheng Brigade into three detachments.
Du He heard this and praised: "Your Highness is indeed one of the most powerful men in the Tang Dynasty..."
At this moment, Zhang Jian hurriedly walked in, handed over an invitation, and said: "Master, the invitation sent by someone from Chang'an is at the request of Lord Ming."
Du He opened the invitation and looked at it carefully.
The person entertaining the guests is Ming Junsheng.
The place for entertaining guests is Miaoxian Tower.
The time to treat guests is today's Youshi hour.
The reason for the treat is that I want to spend a long time with Du He.
Du He smiled: "Who is it that Ming Jun is angry with? How dare you reminisce with me?"
Li Ke also shook his head.
Du He had to ask someone to call Zhang Xuansu.
After Zhang Xuansu read the invitation, he said: "Master, Ming Junsheng, this is a weasel giving New Year greetings to a chicken. He has no good intentions. Ming Junsheng is an official of the Ministry of Industry of the Central Committee of the DPRK. He is usually not showy, but he is polite to others and has a good reputation.
I have no contact with the young master, so if I treat you suddenly, I must have some agenda."
Du He nodded: "Are you trying to say that he was concerned about the old camp of Guancheng Brigade?"
"It should be seven or eight points!"
"It's not 70 or 80, but I'm very sure. Just in time, I'm going to meet this guy."
…
Miaoxian Tower.
In the past, this restaurant belonged to the Dream Group.
Later, Chen Shuda had someone buy it.
Although the staff has changed a lot, the taste is still one of the best restaurants in Chang'an City, and the business is still booming.
It's just past the time of Unity.
Du He then entered a wing on the third floor.
Ming Junsheng hurriedly stepped forward and warmly invited Du He to take a seat.
Du He looked carefully at Ming Junsheng for the first time.
This guy is of medium build, somewhat thin, with a smile on his face, and he is polite to everyone.
Du He was not polite, picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
The wine has passed three rounds, and the food has passed the five flavors.
Ming Junsheng put down his chopsticks and asked: "Du Ma, I have admired your name for a long time, but it's a pity that we have no chance to make acquaintance. Today, I hit it off and talked with you very happily. I wish I could get to know you sooner."
Du He smiled and said: "Mr. Ming, you are so polite. You are spending so much money today, isn't it just for this reason?"
Ming Junsheng said hurriedly: "The prince-in-law is really smart, and I can't hide anything from you. That's right, I'd like to ask the prince-in-law to talk about it today. There's one more thing I want to ask the prince-in-law."
"you say!"
"Consort, I heard that you moved the Guancheng Brigade away from the original stationed place today? Is this possible?" Ming Junsheng asked with a smile.
Du He glanced at Ming Junsheng warily and nodded: "This matter is not a secret. The place where the city management brigade was originally stationed has bad feng shui, so we might as well move it."
Ming Junsheng saw this and smiled: "In that case, Prince Consort, I have something to ask of you. I recently hired a Feng Shui master and traveled around Chang'an for several months, and finally I fell in love with a piece of land where the City Guanling Brigade was originally stationed.
The place you just said is right. The feng shui of that place is not good. However, it is a good place for the living and not for the dead. It depends on whether you can bear the pain and give up. I am willing to pay a high price.
.”
"You want to buy that land?"
"That's right!"
Du He shook his head like a rattle, "Mr. Ming, I'm sorry, I won't sell it."
"One hundred thousand strings!"
"It's not about the money!"
"Two hundred thousand dollars!"
"impossible!"
"Three hundred thousand guan!"
"I said, I won't sell it!"
Ming Junsheng asked: "Where is one million strings?"
Du He put down his chopsticks: "I won't sell it for any amount of money. Master Ming, please don't waste your time. I'm full and it's time to go."
Du He was about to get up.
Mingjun became anxious, grabbed his sleeve, and whispered: "Consort, why are you anxious? Listen to me, others don't know the secret of that land, but I know it clearly. You don't want to sell that land because,
There are more than a hundred corpses of the Lu family hidden in the mountains behind that land, right? And your property is also buried, right?"
Du He's eyes flashed coldly.
Ming Junsheng chuckled and said, "To tell you the truth, Prince Consort Du, as long as you sell that piece of land to me, nothing will happen. Otherwise, no one can guarantee what will happen."
"Are you threatening me?"
"No, no, no, how dare I threaten you, my consort? Look, can you give me some thin noodles?"
Du He sat down again, was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked: "Is what you just said true?"
"Please rest assured, Prince Consort, a gentleman's words are hard to follow."
"A million strings?"
"No, now, I can only come up with this number."
Ming Junsheng raised three fingers, indicating that he could only offer 300,000 yuan.
What he means is simple.
Either sell the land to me, or the news of your killing of the Lu clan members will be exposed.
When he said this, he must have a lot of evidence.
Du He gritted his teeth: "Three hundred and fifty thousand guan."
"make a deal!"
Ming Junsheng smiled proudly.
According to reliable information, there are at least 2.5 million coins in the cave.
Three hundred and fifty thousand guan, exchanged for 2.5 million guan, is really a bargain.
He quickly took out the transaction agreement and couldn't wait for Du He to sign it.
