Chapter 87: Money
"What...what is this place?!"
Originally sitting on the sedan chair, Zhao Benchang felt something was wrong... He seemed to have heard of the Canghua Pavilion somewhere. But when he followed Wang Siqi to the gate of the Canghua Pavilion, he was immediately attracted by the lively scene.
Very frightened.
Wu De on the side came over and explained with a smile: "Huh? I didn't expect it...Don't you even know this place, Mr. Zhao?"
"This is the largest brothel in the capital, Zanghua Pavilion!"
"Hiss... brothel?"
Zhao Benchang, who suddenly felt that he had caught Wang Siqi's hand, blushed and couldn't help but jumped to his feet and said angrily: "Then Wang Siqi is also an official of the imperial court. How can he come to such a land of flowers and willows? Is it possible that he can ignore the laws of the Ming Dynasty?"
As soon as he said this, his voice was loud.
Many merchants coming and going at the door couldn't help laughing when they heard Zhao Benchang's words. A young man dressed like a rich man came up and said to Zhao Benchang: "I didn't expect that, you old man...
Even though I am old, I still like places like Zanghua Pavilion."
"It seems... people are old at heart! Hahahaha!"
Hearing this, Zhao Benchang suddenly became furious and couldn't help but tremble with anger... He stumbled and yelled angrily: "You, you, you... you little guy, how dare you humiliate me like this, be careful of me.
I’ll give you a copy before the Emperor!”
The young man had a nonchalant look on his face, but smiled even more wildly as he answered the conversation.
"Ouch! I didn't see it...You old man is still an official of the imperial court, but I may have to disappoint you...I am not an official of the imperial court, and I don't eat from the imperial court."
"In this case, can you still read the Young Master's book?"
After Zhao Benchang heard this, he immediately froze on the spot, unable to calm down for a long time, not knowing what to do...
The old man didn't say anything.
The young man also felt that it was not interesting, so he joked a few words and then turned around and entered the Hidden Flower Pavilion. After all, what else could be better than him looking for flowers and willows in the Hidden Flower Pavilion to have fun?
"Master Zhao, my young master has already gone in... I will go in first. If you want to come in... just tell the boy at the door my young master's name!"
"etc!"
Seeing that Wu De was about to leave, Zhao Benchang quickly stopped him.
"Huh? What's the matter... Mr. Zhao, I have to remind you... I am not a court official, I am just a servant of the Qingyuan Mansion. If you have anything to say... don't tell me.
I wouldn’t know even if I asked!”
"...Tell me, Wang Siqi is really discussing matters here?"
"No, maybe you don't know...the most popular drink in the capital today is Baoyuan Aged Wine, which is the masterpiece of my young master after he took over as Baoyuan Bureau!"
"And the place where Baoyuan aged wine sells best in the capital is the Zanghua Pavilion! So isn't it normal to discuss matters here?"
"Okay...I've told you enough, I have to take care of my young master!"
.....
Outside Zanghua Pavilion, people were coming and going.
Zhao Benchang stood at the door like this, not even knowing where to put his hands and feet... He had just said before that he wanted to follow Wang Siqi to investigate closely, but now Wang Siqi entered the brothel.
Is it possible that he wants to go in too?
OMG...
There is no reason for the censor to say that an official entered a brothel in broad daylight! If the officials in the court hear this, they will not take this opportunity to take off their official clothes!
Can...
"Hmph! Wait until I return to the house first and investigate clearly what kind of secrets Jurong County hides about you, Wang Siqi!"
Thinking of this, Zhao Benchang could only wave his sleeves and leave.
He had no reason to walk into the Canghua Pavilion, even if he wanted to investigate Wang Siqi personally. After all, civil servants wanted face...Wang Siqi was dispensable.
...
But having said that, taking the opportunity, Chen Zhi was indeed waiting for Wang Siqi in the Canghua Pavilion.
"Hey, hey, hey... How can you go up to the second floor! How embarrassing... Hey, well, Chen Zhi chose this place poorly... Then I will go up? Okay, okay
..."
We arrived at the private room on the second floor.
Chen Zhi had been waiting here early.
The first thing Wang Siqi said when he saw Chen Zhi was: "Brother! Think of a way quickly, that old guy will torture me to death at the end of the day..."
"If a beautiful girl stares at me all day long, I can still feel a bit of love, but this old man with gray hair and stroking his goatee from time to time is staring at me from morning to night!
"
"I, the King of Heaven, can't stand this!"
Looking at Wang Siqi complaining, Chen Zhi couldn't help laughing, shook his head and said: "I heard from my father that this time Zhao Benchang is definitely not as simple as impeaching you for taking Xu Min away."
"After all, Xu Min has been beaten to death. It was you who invited him to Baoyuan Bureau as a guest... In this situation, you can actually drag this old guy to stick to you to investigate the situation. This shows that someone must be behind the delay.
time."
Hearing this, Wang Siqi immediately reacted.
Yes... Xu Min, because the financial lifeline of the family was firmly in his hands, it was impossible for him to retract his confession and attack him, not to mention that it was done in front of the princes Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaoxu and the King of Han.
It's not that easy to regret something.
In this case, Zhao Benchang could still stalk him like a mangy dog... Behind this, we have to suspect that someone is causing trouble.
Wang Siqi's eyes suddenly wandered, and he looked at Chen Zhi and said, "Have you heard about it? Who is cheating me behind my back? Go ahead and don't let me know who it is..."
Chen Zhi shook his head.
Then he said: "Although I know, I still can't tell you... I can only say that this fight is not necessarily a bad thing for you. On the contrary, because of this old guy, many things are inconvenient to do.
Already..."
"But it also shows from another perspective..."
"As long as this old man is here... whatever you do is safe!"
Such a dialectical conclusion made Wang Siqi couldn't help but widen his eyes, opened his mouth slightly, and continued in disbelief: "Good brother, where did you buy this brain... Why are you so smart all of a sudden?
..."
...
There are also plenty of fine wines and delicacies.
After eating a few mouthfuls, Chen Zhi continued: "In addition... Si Qi, I also went over to take a look at what happened in Jurong... According to what you said, I found craftsmen who specialized in mining huge rocks and found a mountain to go to.
Digging and digging..."
"There really is coal. I originally asked Ergouzi to tell you today, but I heard that I couldn't do it because the old man was there!"
"That's why I chose to tell you in person now."
