Calmly relieved and laughing at everything, only the fragrance of flowers fills the windows of the building; the flowers are full and the moon is full, and the water stays forever. When the flowers are full, the building is also full.
The sun sets and the buildings are filled with flowers.
Hua Manlou always has a strong love for flowers, just like he loves all life.
At dusk, he always likes to sit in front of the window under the setting sun, caressing the petals as soft as his lover's lips, and enjoying the wonderful fragrance of flowers like his lover's breath. It is dusk now, the sunset is warm and the evening breeze is soft.
The small building was peaceful and quiet, and Hua Manlou sat alone in front of the window, filled with gratitude, grateful to God for giving him such a wonderful life and allowing him to enjoy such a wonderful life.
But just when he was addicted to life, the silence was broken by the sound of footsteps.
"I heard someone said that you came to Yuezhou! I thought it was for business, but I didn't expect that you would have time to visit a blind man like me!"
Just by hearing the footsteps, Huamanlou could tell that the person was Yang Qingyuan.
"Of course I have a purpose to see you, and I am also here for official business!"
Hua Manlou was slightly surprised, then smiled, "When did you learn from Lu Xiaofeng and come to see me with such a beautiful girl by your side?"
Liu Wangshu: "..."
She had clearly performed Qing Gong, and her steps were so light and elegant that they made no sound, even walking on the snow without leaving a trace, but Huamanlou could still detect her presence.
Liu Wangshu looked at Yang Qingyuan in slight shock, and the expression on his face asked Yang Qingyuan, is your friend really invisible?!
Everyone who sees Huamanlou will not think that he is blind.
"Girl, I really can't see!"
Hua Manlou seemed to be able to see the confusion on her face and answered proactively.
Liu Wangshu was even more shocked now.
"You are a guest, let's enjoy a cup of tea!"
Huamanlou poured a cup of Longjing from the teapot on the side.
When Yang Qingyuan took the tea, he felt the fragrance was refreshing, but Liu Wangshu realized that this tea was extraordinary just by smelling it.
"This is Mingqian Longjing!"
Liu Wangshu frowned after tasting it, but this was not an ordinary Mingqian Longjing.
"This is the Eighteenth Bachelor!"
The Eighteen Bachelors are the eighteen best-looking Longjing trees in the West Lake. They are the best among the best Longjings.
After hearing this, Hua Manlou smiled again, "Qingyuan, you are a very boring person without tea or wine. I didn't expect that your confidante has such taste. These eighteen bachelors are tributes to the royal family, and ordinary people don't think so.
Drink it, I’m afraid you’ve never smelled it. It seems that this girl is not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also has a high status!”
"It's really hard for me to believe that someone like you can be blind! Wang Shu's Qing Gong is even better than Lu Xiaoji's. How on earth did you discover her!?"
Huamanlou put down the shower in his hand and said to Yang Qingyuan, "Not only are my ears good, my nose is also good! The flowers in Baihualou are all taken care of by me. What are the characteristics of each flower?"
I know all the fragrances very well, but now there is a new fragrance mixed into the fragrance of these flowers. Although the change is slight, it cannot escape my nose!"
Yang Qingyuan was dubious and took a sniff. With his innate six senses, he also smelled Liu Wangshu's fragrance.
However, Yang Qingyuan is in the Dongxuan realm and has an innate body. It is normal to have this sense of smell. It is extraordinary for a Yuanhua warrior in Huamanlou to have this sense.
"I won't stop talking and get straight to the point!"
"Sure enough, you didn't just come to see me!" Hua Manlou was not surprised at all.
"The eight million taels of military pay delivered by the imperial court to the Shenwu Army were robbed!?"
Yang Qingyuan opened his mouth with news that surprised Hua Manlou.
Currently, apart from a few big shots at the imperial court, only the top officials of Yuezhou Governor, Changshi, Yincao and Dongzhen Fusi know about this news.
As for the others, they only knew that Yang Qingyuan came to Yuezhou as the deposed envoy of Yuezhou, and they thought that Yang Qingyuan was only here to eliminate corruption and inspect the administration of officials.
"Who did it? Have you found out?!"
Yang Qingyuan sighed, "Not to mention the person who committed the crime, we haven't even found out how the salary was robbed."
"……how come?!"
Among Huamanlou’s friends, when it comes to investigating cases, Lu Xiaofeng and Yang Qingyuan are the top picks.
"However, being able to digest eight million taels of cash in Yuezhou will not attract anyone's attention, except for the Money Gang...!"
Yang Qingyuan paused for a moment, and Hua Manlou immediately answered his words, "Then it's just our Hua family!"
"That's right!"
Huamanlou was not angry because of Yang Qingyuan's suspicion, because Yang Qingyuan was right, the Hua family did have such financial resources and strength.
"Then what does Brother Yang want from me?"
Although she was suspected as a suspect, Huamanlou was not gentle and unrestrained at all.
"I want to ask Brother Hua to take me to Peach Blossom Castle to meet Mr. Hua!"
"No problem, are you leaving now!?"
Yang Qingyuan stood up and said, "That couldn't be better!"
Then three figures shot out from Baihua Tower and flew into the distance.
-------------
Yuezhou, in a mountain villa.
"Now the first step of the plan has been successful! When can I wait for the second step!"
One of them, wearing a ghost tiger mask, asked.
"Don't worry, although the first step has been successful, our old rival has already arrived in Yuezhou!"
He is indeed an old rival, and he still has a familiar feminine voice.
"Now we have food and military pay! Why are we still standing still!"
Ghost Tiger's impatience is palpable.
"We alone are not enough! Zhou Taizu was originally a commoner in Huaiyou, but he was able to step up to this supreme level step by step. If he was not ordered by heaven, how can we explain it?! Zhou De's righteousness cannot be improved, plus today's
Emperor Zhou worked hard to govern and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. If we want to shake the Zhou Dynasty, it is not that easy. This matter cannot be rushed!"
"How long will it take?!"
"To deal with Zhou Ting, our family alone is not enough. Now, the young master is already contacting Daqian of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, Jianzhou Houjin, the barbarians of the southwest, the countries of the Western Regions and the Japanese countries of Japan! When the time is right, we can carve up the world!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! At this point, the originally calm and feminine voice also showed emotional fluctuations.
"Huh!? Then I can definitely deal with Yang Qingyuan!"
Guihu still refused to give up and asked.
"Do you think you are the only one who has entered the realm of Dongxuan? Have you forgotten the image of Ten Thousand Swords Chaosong on Wudang Mountain that day?! Or do you think your martial arts are already better than those of Chimei in the 'Shemale' and B Xuan of the 'Martial Master'? Taller!"
Although he was scolded, Guihu couldn't lose his temper.
Chi Mei in "Shemale" and Bi Xuan in "Martial Master" are both well-known veteran Dongxuan. Although Guihu is very confident in his horizontal training golden bell, he doesn't think he can defeat these two people.
"Isn't there still you?!"
The feminine voice sneered, "Why do you think Liu Wangshu can't hold me back?"
"..."
"Don't be in a hurry. As long as you follow our plan, killing Yang Qingyuan is just a matter of time!"
…
----------
Peach Blossom Castle is the home of the Hua family, the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River.
It is adjacent to the East China Sea and occupies a very vast area. It is so vast that ordinary people cannot walk outside the scope of Peach Blossom Castle even if they walk for a day.
"The young master is back!"
An old slave saw Huamanlou and immediately came forward to greet him.
Huamanlou has a special status in the Hua family. Both her brothers and elders love her very much.
And Huamanlou is always as gentle as jade, even when she treats her servants, she always has a smile on her face.
"Uncle Cheng, I haven't seen you for half a year, but you are still in such good health!"
Yang Qingyuan looked at this "Uncle Cheng" with a hint of surprise in his eyes. The power of Taohua Castle was indeed not weak, and this Uncle Cheng was actually a warrior in the Yuan Hua Realm.
"The young master is back this time..."
"Oh! These two friends of mine want to meet their father!"
Uncle Cheng's eyes immediately turned to Yang Qingyuan and Liu Wangshu.
"Sure enough, a hero comes from a boy! The young master's friends are indeed extraordinary!"
Uncle Cheng is already not a weakling in the Yuan Hua Realm, but he can't see through Yang Qingyuan and Liu Wangshu. Whether they have special breath gathering skills or are at a higher level, it is enough to show that they are extraordinary.
"The master is currently enjoying tea in the Canglang Pavilion. Young master, you two, please come with me!"
Uncle Cheng was about to lead the way, but was stopped by Hua Manlou!
"Uncle Cheng, go and do your work! I'll just take them there!"
Hearing what Hua Manlou said, Uncle Cheng did not insist, but just warned, "Young master, please be careful when you walk!"
Yang Qingyuan and Liu Wangshu, led by Hua Manlou, headed towards Canglang Pavilion.
"Uncle Cheng has been responsible for taking care of me since I was a child!"
This is why Uncle Cheng cares so much about Hua Man Lou.
Peach Blossom Castle indeed occupies a vast area, and it took the three of them a stick of incense to walk before they saw the Canglang Pavilion.
The three of them used Qinggong and jumped onto the hillside where Canglang Pavilion is located.
"Lou'er!"
A man who looked like an old Confucian scholar was surprised and happy when he saw the flower-filled building.
This man is Hua Manlou's father, Hua Ruling, the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River. He is busy with his family's business and often goes out. The family only gets together during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Double Ninth Festival, Lantern Festival and other festivals.
"Father!"
Yang Qingyuan and Liu Wangshu also wisely did not disturb the father and son's previous gathering.
"By the way, father, I have two friends I want to introduce to you."
Hua Ruling chuckled softly, "Hahaha, if I hadn't been blinded by my old eyes, this should be the newly appointed envoy of Yuezhou, Mr. Yang, the minister of Dali Temple!"
Yang Qingyuan was not surprised. With the power of the Hua family, it would be strange not to know.
"I've met Mr. Hua!"
"As for this person, I am more familiar with him! Xiaoyue'er, don't you remember me?"
Liu Wangshu was also surprised. Yue'er was exactly her nickname. Apart from the master, his wife and the servants on the island, not many people should know it.
"Don't be surprised. Your master and I are good friends. Almost all the wine he drank over the years was given to me by me. When you were a child, I hugged you?! But at that time, you were still learning.
It’s normal if you don’t remember the language!”
To become the richest man in Jiangnan and the largest real estate businessman in the world, Hua Ruling naturally has his connections.
Li Taibai, the Green Lotus Sword Immortal of the East China Sea, is one of Hua Ruling's friends.
After hearing what Hua Ruling said, Liu Wangshu also saluted and said, "I've met the old gentleman!"
"Sure enough, as Mr. Yang wrote, 'There are talented people from generation to generation!' Two people in the Dongxuan realm who are less than thirty years old, such qualifications are really rare throughout the ages!"
"Mr. Hua is so complimentary! It's just that he has better luck!"
After a brief polite greeting, Yang Qingyuan went straight to the point, "I'm here today because Yang has something to ask. I would like to ask Mr. Hua to step aside."
Yang Qingyuan was not polite either. Now he was not only a friend of Huamanlou, but also a deposed envoy representing the imperial court and the emperor.
When Hua Ruling saw Yang Qingyuan's expression, she didn't say much and asked the servants on the side to step aside temporarily.
"I am here this time to inquire about something important!"
"Master Yang, you are here because of the loss of military pay!"
Yang Qingyuan was not surprised at all that Hua Ruling knew about this matter. Although the court was trying its best to block the news, for Hua Ruling, the richest man in Jiangnan, this was not a confidential matter.
"Mr. Hua knows this, so there's no need for me to waste any more words. He must already know the purpose of my coming!"
"In this Yuezhou, there are only a few companies that have the ability to rob the salary from the three thousand Shenwu Army. And after the robbery, the only ones who can not find traces of the salary are our Hua Family and the Money Gang!
"
"That's right! That's why I'm here!"
Hua Ruling smiled bitterly, "But I can't prove my innocence now..."
Hua Ruling has thought about this matter for a long time. It is true that there is currently no evidence pointing to the Hua Family or the Qian Gang, but similarly, the Hua Family and the Qian Gang do not have any evidence to prove that they did not take the eight million taels.
When Hua Ruling was talking, Yang Qingyuan seemed casual, but in fact he was observing Hua Ruling's every move. Even Hua Ruling's heartbeat and breathing, Yang Qingyuan was silently paying attention.
But judging from Hua Ruling's performance, it doesn't look like she's lying.
"However, the Hua family can help the court temporarily solve the problem."
Hua Ruling said, "The Hua family has nothing else, and the money is still used. Although the number of eight million taels is not small, the Hua family also has many partners in the business. Within ten days, the Hua family can make up six million taels."
One million taels, I am willing to lend it to the court to tide over the difficulties."
It is not that the imperial court does not have eight million taels, but it is indeed not easy to collect eight million taels of cash in a short period of time.
Every amount of the imperial court's treasury silver has been accurately calculated by the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Cabinet, and has its own purpose. It is impossible to find eight million taels of cash in the entire Jiangnan states at one time. There is some in the North and the Central Plains, but for transportation
Another big problem.
Escorting eight million taels of silver was not an easy task, especially when eight million taels had just been lost, so the court was even more cautious.
It is impossible for the imperial court to put all its treasures on Yang Qingyuan at this moment.
Yang Qingyuan and his party are naturally pursuing the case, and the cabinet is also raising a second eight million taels.
Now Hua Ruling's move can solve the urgent needs of the court.
Although the Hua family cannot prove their innocence, they can choose to help.
"Mr. Hua, such a righteous act is really a blessing to the country. The soldiers of the Shenwu Army on the border of Yang's generation thank Mr. Hua for his righteousness!"
"Master Yang, you are so polite! Hua is also a citizen of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but he is just doing his own small part."
Now that the words have come to this, without any evidence, Yang Qingyuan can't say anything more, so he can only salute again.
