In Su Ping's eyes, Tang Mei is just a high school student. Although she already has a character that cannot be changed, her personality is still in the development stage. At her age, it is easy for her to do unexpected things.
.
In the middle of the night, she came to criticize Su Ping with a stick, not really intending to hit anyone, but just to fulfill her "promise". To put it bluntly, she was actually having fun.
Based on her performance today, Su Ping seemed to have seen some light in life and felt that Tang Mei was not a boring person.
However, Tang Mei did not agree to cooperate with Su Ping in investing. In her own words, she did not have much money, and she was unwilling to misappropriate public funds to make any uncertain investments. In her opinion, Luoyang's real estate was a backwater.
Tan. If you buy it and then sell it, you will waste the transfer tax money.
"Don't think that you are the only one with many clever ideas. Others have already tried your methods. Also, do you think that all the people under the emperor are just free laborers? Once discovered, not only will the property be confiscated, but the emperor will also hold the duke accountable.
"League of Peace" is not a decoration, and the court is not a place for rogues. The fines are according to the regulations and unambiguous. Do you know how much the fine will be if you find one?" Tang Mei, holding a stick, said in rapid succession.
Su Ping opened the window and pressed his arms on the window sill: "If you don't invest, forget it. Don't be jealous if the property value increases in the future."
Tang Mei asked in confusion: "Why do you say it will increase in value?"
Su Ping said: "Don't you study carefully the new decree issued by Emperor Wanlong? Once it is implemented, the population of Luoyang City will definitely increase dramatically. By then, the relationship between supply and demand will change. As more people buy houses, the price of houses will increase."
It’s bound to soar. It can even rise to levels you can’t imagine.”
"Are you really sure?"
"If I wasn't sure, I wouldn't invest all my belongings."
Later, Tang Mei said that she wanted to talk to her fourth brother. Then she picked up the stick and left.
Su Ping found that Tang Mei's concept of money seemed a bit vague. Sometimes, she felt that she cared about money, and sometimes she felt that she had no idea about money.
She usually cares about spending money, but when she faced the huge amount of money flowing in the three warehouses, she was not moved. This included the family's large account book of payments that Tang Kuan later gave her, and a reserve fund of tens of thousands taels.
This may be because she has never been truly poor, or it may be because her family values are too strong. Of course, there may be other reasons, but Su Ping has not observed it yet.
The next morning, Wu Xiaoxiao, the little maid with a clear voice and a naughty smile, woke up Su Ping from her sleep because the princess invited Su Ping to have breakfast with her.
Su Ping was lazy in bed and refused to get up, so Wu Xiaoxiao put his cold hands into Su Ping's collar.
Su Ping sat up in shock and frightened the little maid, who screamed and ran away.
Soon after, a bell-like laughter sounded at the moon gate. It seemed that she was not afraid at all, she was really a naughty little guy. It is said that Wu Xiaoxiao was born in a troupe, and she followed the troupe to the city to perform.
Be careful of being carried away by traffickers.
Although he sat up, Su Ping was still very sleepy. He looked sleepily at Feng Die coming in with a basin. He didn't wake up completely until he washed his face.
After everything was prepared, we went to Qinxiang Xiaozhu to eat in their Tang family's large dining hall. I really can't praise the Liang Dynasty's food. But one thing is guaranteed, there is not so much technology here.
In addition, Su Ping also found some business opportunities here. Fine salt in the Liang Dynasty was very expensive, and sugar was even more expensive. Salt was controlled by the state, so it was naturally more expensive. However, backward production technology was also the main reason why fine salt was expensive.
The prospects are good, but now Su Ping doesn't dare to think about technology-related things. When he thinks about it, he has a splitting headache, as if he is seriously ill. And wanting to do the fine salt business is not something ordinary people can do. It does not rely on strong power.
Backstage, business is not stable.
After the meal, Su Ping was about to leave, but he suddenly remembered what Chen Qianfou said, so he took out a portrait from his pocket and handed it to Tang Mei: "Look at this person, do you recognize him?"
"This is... fourth brother?" Tang Mei hesitated for a moment and then recognized the person in the portrait: "This should be the portrait of fourth brother a few years ago. Where did you get it?"
No wonder this man looks familiar, it turns out to be Tang Kuan...
Su Ping blinked: "Was your brother so thin before?"
Tang Mei smiled and said: "No, he was famously thin before. If it weren't for being too thin, his father would have let him go to the army for training. But for some reason, he suddenly gained weight later on, maybe because of drinking.
Bundle."
Tang Mei thought the portrait was very exquisite. She smiled and decided to put it away: "You haven't answered me yet, where did you get it?"
Su Ping thought for a moment and said, "I said I found it in a trick house. Do you believe it?"
Tang Mei stopped laughing, threw the portrait on the table, pointed at the portrait and asked, "Then why are you carrying it?"
Ever since he left the debit account book to Tang Mei, Tang Kuan seemed mysterious and could not often find him.
That night, Tang Kuan planned to send Little Yingtao out of Luoyang, but Little Yingtao suddenly felt abdominal discomfort, so she did not leave the city, but went to the Imperial Hospital outside Zuoye Gate of the Imperial City. Not long after, she gave birth and gave birth to a baby.
girl.
Little Cherry was suddenly born prematurely. I don't know if it was caused by Chen Qianfou pinching her neck, or if it was caused by her kicking Chen Qianfou fiercely.
Tang Kuan asked Xiao Yingying whether the child was his.
Little Cherry was furious and slapped Tang Kuan twice on the spot, roaring: No!
In fact, the child belonged to Tang Kuan, but Tang Kuan calculated the time and found that the child was less than a month old, so he had doubts.
Moreover, the baby was very ugly when it was first delivered, as ugly as a baby gorilla.
But when he saw the child again the next day, he felt that he looked a lot like himself. Tang Kuan was very satisfied. But in the afternoon, Little Cherry was gone, and so was the child.
In the past few days, Tang Kuan was looking for Little Yingtao everywhere, but he couldn't find it. Tang Kuan felt very sad. He knew Little Yingtao very well. Although she was a dancer, she had a very fierce temper.
The dancing girl was suddenly injured and could no longer dance. The old madam of Wanhua Tower asked her to debut, but she refused. The old madam got angry and wanted to beat her to death. Tang Kuan heard about it and redeemed her body.
The word "debut" comes from Fengyuechang, which refers to the first time a woman breaks her virginity to receive guests. During the Three Kingdoms period, it was also cited by some sects.
In fact, there were many people who interceded with Little Cherry and wanted to redeem her life, and Tang Kuan did not give the most money, but the Fourth Young Master had a great reputation and Tang Qiu mediated, so the matter was settled.
As for how Little Cherry met Zhao Tian and what she had done for Zhao Tian, Su Ping was not sure. Su Ping was the one who brought the portrait to Tang Kuan to ask for the above information.
"Why……"
Tang Kuan sighed deeply: "Sister-in-law, please help me pay more attention. If you have any letters from her, tell me as soon as possible. I heard that you are very close to the Honghua Society? There are a few people there who can
People, ask them to help me find out, and if they find it, I will give you money."
…
He went to the Ministry of Punishment to make a fortune, and then Su Ping took Mei Ran to handle the case. Today he targeted Zhang Guan, a former member of the Ministry of Justice.
Zhang Guan also resigned after Emperor Wanlong ascended the throne, but he was not punished and was simply dismissed from office.
However, according to the information obtained from Minister Xue, this guy is not clean, and he also has connections with Huang Bingxuan, the former Minister of Criminal Affairs.
The reason why no one checks him is because the reporting documents are all anonymous. This is very troublesome. If it is not an urgent matter, those anonymous letters will often not be taken seriously.
If it is a real-name report, the reporter himself is a witness. It is relatively easy to solve this kind of case. But now it is just anonymous, Su Ping has to confirm one by one. It is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and may even be in vain. Moreover, it will offend people. Xue Pang
I said, before you find conclusive evidence, don't say that I asked you to investigate.
As for the matter about Little Cherry, just go to Chengfeng Tea House and ask the Ye sisters to take care of it.
"I didn't expect Ye Hanshuang's disfigurement to be so serious..." Su Ping shrugged: "If it weren't for the disfigurement, I think she would be even more beautiful than my sister."
Su Ping rode a tall horse, and Mei Ran rode an old mule covered in cotton and linen quilts. They were more than two heads shorter than Su Ping.
Miss Mei had almond-shaped eyes and gave Su Ping a hard look without saying a word.
Seeing that Mei Ran didn't like this topic, Su Ping smiled and said: "Lu Sanniang is indeed a seasoned person. I think she will make money if she runs the teahouse. It seems that you have a lot of capable people in the Red Flower Club."
Mei Ran said: "That's of course. A while ago, I called the sub-helms to gather, and only a small number of people came to the scene. The real masters haven't appeared yet. When they gather together, they will scare you to death."
Su Ping pretended to be horrified: "All the masters in your Red Flower Club have three heads and six arms?"
Seeing Su Ping's funny expression, Mei Ran frowned and said with a smile: "That's not the case, there are masters anyway. I feel that their martial arts are not inferior to you and me, and some of them are even better than us."
Su Pingyi frowned: "Who is the leader of the Red Flower Society? Why can he recruit so many masters to work for him in just a few years?"
"Then I don't know. Just ask Chen Qianfou."
"Ha! I'm not going to ask the Luoyang branch leader of the Red Flower Club, but I'm going to ask an outsider? You have the nerve to say it."
Mei Ran looked angry and remained silent.
Su Ping smiled and asked again: "You said just now that many people didn't come when you gathered the congregation. Why didn't they come?"
Mei Ran said: "They are all higher in rank than me. I am just the sub-ruler, but their names are very big. They are deputy leader, light envoy, protector, hall leader..."
Su Ping interrupted her: "Co-author, your helmsman is just a small official?"
"I want you to take care of it?" Mei Ran said grumpily.
Su Ping asked with a smile: "What level does Ye Guhong, a master of heavenly speaking, count?"
"She is very tall, on the same level as the Light Envoy. In other words, she is the Light Envoy."
Su Ping discovered that Mei Ran could not get into the core of the Red Flower Club and looked like an outsider.
