Magistrate He looked at Feifei, who was dead on the ground, with a flash of bitterness in his eyes.
Originally, Meihua County spent a lot of effort to build the Meihua Building this time, with the idea of promoting the development of the entire Meihua County.
Unexpectedly, a murder case occurred, causing Meihua County's status in everyone's hearts to plummet. Even if the murderer was dead, those young men who came to have fun would definitely not dare to stay any longer.
Shen Youwei on the side was also a little worried at the moment: "Yes, sir, this woman committed suicide, how are we going to explain it to the outside world?"
"When those gentlemen see us using a dead person as a murderer, they will definitely not be able to completely believe that she is the murderer. They may even think that this is a scapegoat that we deliberately introduced."
Despite Shen Youwei's straightforward personality, when it comes to Su Cheng, she is still willing to use her brain.
Su Cheng chuckled when he heard this: "This matter can be easily solved, as long as we hold another banquet and invite everyone to come and participate."
"This..." Magistrate He looked in disbelief: "Is it really possible?"
"Whether it is possible or not depends on whether the girl from Meihualou can move people's hearts!"
Su Cheng chuckled lightly: "When you spread the news, say that the murderer has been killed, and spread the story of this woman's crime."
"Also, let me tell those people that for the next three consecutive days, Meihua Tower will be discounted by 30%!"
"Also, I have ten pieces of calligraphy that will be sold in the next three days. The one with the highest price will get it."
Telling the story of the crime was to make those young men believe that the case had been found out and that the Meihua Building was safe.
The three-day discount at Meihualou and the sale of ten of his calligraphy works were to retain this group of people.
As long as we survive these three days and there are no problems during these three days, Meihua County will definitely be able to develop in the future.
"Thank you, Lord Marquis, thank you Lord Marquis!" Magistrate He looked excited and no longer worried about the development of Meihua County.
There are ten paintings of calligraphy by the Marquis, and those young gentlemen can't help but rush for them.
This is a calligraphy treasure belonging to a relative of the emperor and has collection value. If Su Cheng is transferred to Kyoto in the future, this calligraphy treasure in their hands will become more valuable.
On the other hand, Shen Youwei looked at Su Cheng with a puzzled look on her face: "Ms. sir, I don't remember that you have ten calligraphy paintings."
"Write now!"
Shen Youwei: "..."
An hour later, the news spread throughout Meihua County that the murderer had been punished, and the Meihua Building reopened tonight with a 30% discount for three consecutive days. In the next three days, ten calligraphy paintings by Marquis Su Cheng will be sold.
When the news spread, the people of Meihua County and the group of fun-seekers were overjoyed.
The common people were happy that the murderer had been killed and they no longer had to worry about it. The fun-seekers saw that the Meihua Tower was on sale at a 30% discount and that they were also selling ten of Su Cheng's calligraphy paintings. They felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Suddenly, the whole Meihua County became lively, people began to come out to work, and those young men also went to Meihua Tower early to occupy their seats.
30% off, this can save a lot of money. Many girls they didn't dare to order before can now order them.
Many things that I dare not do can now be done.
Moreover, there were ten pieces of calligraphy by the Marquis. They all wanted to take a look and see what the Marquis's calligraphy was like.
The sky has not yet darkened, and the Plum Blossom Building is already overcrowded. Some want to see girls, some want to see the calligraphy of the Marquis, and some are watching the excitement.
Compared with last night's opening ceremony, tonight's was also very lively, not inferior in any way, or even worse.
Even the madam of Plum Blossom House was busy at the moment, and her fat body almost fell down from exhaustion.
When he saw Magistrate He leading Su Cheng and others, the old bustard's eyes lit up and he immediately rushed forward: "Master Marquis, Magistrate He, you are here."
"Look, there are more people here tonight than last night, and many of them are here for your calligraphy."
While talking, the madam looked behind Su Cheng from time to time.
Judging from this posture, he was looking to see if Su Cheng had brought his calligraphy treasure.
Su Cheng did not expose it, and waved his right hand, and Liu Changfeng came forward holding three calligraphy and paintings.
"Three paintings have been written, and the auction can begin. All the money from the auction tonight will be given to Meihua County. However, Magistrate He, you must clearly explain to me the whereabouts of the money. If you know that you have been involved in corruption,
I will never let you go."
Su Cheng glanced at Magistrate He and said calmly.
Magistrate He quickly bowed his hands and saluted: "Please rest assured, Lord Marquis, I know what to do."
Just kidding, this is Lord Marquis' money, and Magistrate He would not dare to embezzle it no matter how courageous he is.
A marquis came here personally for the development of Meihua County. Even a fool would not cause trouble at this time.
What's more, with the development of Meihua County, he, as the county magistrate, has also contributed. It will only be a matter of time for him to be promoted and make a fortune in the future.
"Okay, let's start the auction." Su Cheng didn't want to waste time, so he walked towards the lobby on the first floor.
The people inside had already stood up and saluted him: "I have met the Marquis!"
Su Cheng glanced around the crowd and found that everyone's faces were filled with smiles, and then nodded slightly: "I am very happy that you can come tonight."
"I believe you are already aware of what happened last night. I would like to apologize to you for this. It is because Meihua County did not make preparations."
"But don't worry, this kind of thing won't happen again in the future."
"Next, I will auction three paintings of calligraphy. They are all poems I wrote in my spare time. If you like them, you can buy them."
"The first painting, this poem is called Compassion for the Farmers, has a base price of one hundred taels, and each increase in price shall not be less than ten taels."
Su Cheng personally presided over the auction of his own calligraphy treasures, which can be regarded as full of sincerity.
But he obviously underestimated the attraction of his calligraphy to these young men. As soon as he finished speaking, one of them stood up and said with a smile:
"How can it be that the Marquis's calligraphy treasure is only one hundred taels? I will pay five hundred taels!"
"I'll pay you six hundred taels!"
"I'll pay you a thousand taels!"
Everyone kept raising the price, and finally the deal was made for two thousand taels.
Seeing this scene, the corners of Shen Youwei's mouth twitched as she saw it, finding it difficult to understand the behavior of these people.
"Ms. Yang, do you think these people are sick? It's just a random poem written by my husband, and it can actually be sold for two thousand taels?"
Two thousand taels is enough for a family of four to have enough food and clothing for twenty years.
Yang Lingxuan couldn't help but smile bitterly when she heard this.
How can anyone say that he is a husband?
"Mrs. Su, you don't know the importance of a Marquis title. If Su Marquis has a title and is in Kyoto, his calligraphy treasures, let alone 2,000 taels, may be 5,000 taels or even 10,000 taels.
."
Yang Lingxuan felt that it was necessary for Shen Youwei to realize how powerful Su Cheng was.
"With so much money, it seems that I have to find a way to get my husband to write more paintings in the future!" Shen Youwei touched her chin, looking serious.
