In the banquet hall next to the mansion's pool, the host, Yinhou Lexingda, was also wearing a loose and transparent osmanthus cloth brocade robe with colorful flower garlands, and slowly walked barefoot through the spacious banquet hall.
In the middle of the lobby, he was used to facing the guests who were drinking and laughing, slightly raising his hand to signal.
Immediately, there was a roar of toasts and praises. For a while, everyone was shouting and honoring him. All kinds of flattery and compliments, flattery and flattery, almost filled the whole place with wine, meat and dishes.
The banquet hall, smelling of powder, was overturned.
As the most popular prodigal son and romantic high-roller in Luodu City, as long as he stayed in the main house, he would open the door almost every day and entertain all kinds of guests in various ways;
But those left here in the lobby are just ordinary people.
As he walked out of this gorgeous lobby without hesitation, and after passing through the long waterside corridor amid the flickering lights, another more exquisite, simple and elegant small banquet hall also emerged.
The slaves and maids appeared before their eyes amidst the ups and downs of singing and reporting.
As it was opened in a hurry, the carved partition door with the landscape paintings of ladies and gentlemen came; with the oncoming light joy and deep singing. The people in this small banquet hall were either standing or sitting, some were showing loose bodies, and some were talking softly.
The guests who were smiling or had misty-eyed eyes also turned their heads to greet him affectionately.
But here, you can truly be entertained by him personally, and you are qualified to stay overnight in this garden. Those people in the city who each have a certain status and influence. It is just that in a certain relaxed atmosphere, they and the people around them
Accompanying Jia Ji, she was already disheveled.
Even if on ordinary days, some of them are dignified officials, or famous scholars, or the leader of the knights in the capital, or the descendants of the Zhu family, or the wealthy businessmen of the Western City, they will
First trip to the East... At this moment, they are all comrades who indulge in sex and have fun.
Therefore, they were accustomed to greeting Le Xingda when they arrived, and then continued to be busy drinking, or immersed in the fun of playing. However, Le Xingda took the initiative to call by name, greeted a few of them, and chatted with each other.
After a few words, he said goodbye.
Under normal circumstances, Le Xingda's main attention is not on them. Because compared to the external sects who are full of show, these people are of course his help and friendship, and can rely on their strength and influence; but on the contrary
You must also rely on and rely on him indirectly.
Otherwise, with just one word from him, some of them could be completely cornered, their futures cut off, or they could become the target of public criticism. As Le Xingda walked out of the banquet hall and continued to move forward, more and more slaves and maids greeted him along the way.
With less time, the environment becomes more and more quiet.
Finally, after a few confidants hiding in the darkness took the initiative to come out and silently saluted and reported a few words in a low voice, Le Xingda walked onto a rockery hidden by flowers, rocks and trees. At the top of the rockery, facing the water,
On one side, there is a complex of buildings connected by winding corridors.
He couldn't help but straighten his clothes again before walking up the steps. Because, in this most private and quiet building in the courtyard, there were several to more than a dozen people lingering around from time to time. Because of his kind invitation,
People who visit secretly only occasionally, special guests/secret VIPs.
If the identities of some of these people are leaked to the outside world, they will undoubtedly be shocking existence; or they may represent some kind of overwhelming power, and even he cannot protect himself alone. But he can grasp some kind of secrets from this.
, and also obtained multiple amulets in disguise.
And this is how he rose to great heights after the adventure at Gouji Ridge. After many years, he became a man of his own, without relying on backers and help who faded away from the scene. It was enough for him to be in Luo, far away from Xijing, but not far from the court.
It is the fundamental basis for prosperity in the capital city.
However, this time Le Xingda did not go to the temporarily vacant building to inspect the collections and entertainment methods he had specially prepared for the big shots. He went straight to one of the corner pavilions without saying a word, and pushed away
The mural behind the stairs leads down from the hidden passage.
Finally, he arrived at a spacious secret room with full functions, decorated with gorgeous curtains, bed tents, and carpets. Among the secret rooms with multiple suites, the most conspicuous thing was the hidden room behind the side curtains.
The row of cabinets is somewhat incompatible with the style of the secret room.
On the shelves, there are rows of locked and airtight boxes. In order of importance, the few words occasionally gained by his subordinates and attendants in private around the bed are collected and recorded. This is also the way he controls power behind the scenes.
The basis for forming a good family relationship with a wealthy and noble family.
Maybe he doesn't have the ability to push a certain rising star to a high position. But he is sure enough to use a sudden scandal to ruin a person's future at a critical moment; he can also cleverly arrange an accident.
Let a certain existence that is an eyesore disappear.
Of course, sometimes he will also transform into an enthusiastic person who solves problems for high-ranking families; he will dispatch and deal with some noises and anomalies involving scandals in the family. Sometimes, he will be a mediator who is good at dancing and making connections through matchmaking.
Achieve mutual benefit and win-win results of power and wealth.
Gu Ling
However, he actually has the most secret identity. As the price for liberating Goujiling, the wealth he has accumulated over the years has been used to maintain his appearance and subordinates. In fact, most of it has been used regularly.
I invested in several Feiqian ticket dealers in turn.
At least, within and outside the Eastern Capital City, the money, power, fame, wealth and status he acquired through transactions have allowed him to gain access to all religions, gangs, and the tentacles and ears of all walks of life. This is enough for him to always be invincible most of the time, or
Another roundabout way to achieve the goal.
Even if there are occasional mistakes and setbacks, he can always get inside information in time and decisively send out a scapegoat, thinking that the official situation will be settled. Even if someone keeps an eye on him, he will soon be served by those who have served him.
Nobles, secret warnings and obstructions.
Then, Le Xingda, who had learned his lesson, became more cautious next time and hid himself deeper behind the scenes. This was something he had been quite criticized for before, but now he was able to openly visit various families inside and outside the government.
The reason why he has become a guest of all major wealthy families.
However, he still has a few minor worries at the moment. First of all, the new yamen that he had given high hopes for and collected money to carry out activities on his behalf, Qingzhengsi, due to an accident, became the most important person in the current ruling and opposition parties.
What a joke, even several of the deals he undertook were ruined.
Secondly, he has been secretly communicating with him for many years and has a very close personal relationship with him, the Marriage Officer/Second Commander of the Wude Department; because he mishandled the incident in Longmen Mountain and neglected his duties (he was at his house that night)
), was promoted to Guangzhou Prefecture, the headquarters of the Nanhai Office.
Immediately afterwards, someone hoped to use his hands to create some trouble for someone, at least so that he could take care of himself temporarily. In addition, there was another noble person who secretly instructed him to send people to create disputes and conflicts in order to test this person.
What did I get from the Chang'an Ghost Market?
However, this seriously violated his principle of never getting ahead. Ever since he had to personally lead people to come forward to completely deal with the border military colonel who was visiting relatives and his family, and was almost killed by the opponent's deadly counterattack, he never
Don't show up for things like this anymore.
If it were one of them, he could handle it, but after the pressure from the two families came down, Le Xingda had to think again and again. Therefore, he had to carefully consider the matter and arrange a reasonable project to ensure that he would be as safe as possible.
Stay behind the scenes.
He was thinking quietly in this secret room while looking at the newly collected verbal records; suddenly a piece of text made his heart move. It was a member of the martial arts club who came to his villa to get drunk and relieve his sorrow. About the Qing Dynasty
Follow-up rumors about the top players who were defeated in the main division.
After making preliminary arrangements for the initial contact, Le Xingda finally felt a little tired, but he was not sleepy. Then he walked out of the secret room, rang the bell to summon a confidant here, and asked in a deep voice:
"Is there any new fun tonight?"
"It seems that there happens to be such a new thing." The steward's confidant said quickly: "Have you forgotten, before, someone was lured to the Cheng family's house to beg for mercy in private. It was a girl disguised as a man. It is said that she was
Where is Cheng Shilian’s biological sister?”
"Cheng Shilian's sister?" Le Xingda heard this, but he thought about it for a while with some confusion before he remembered that the other party seemed to be him. He introduced Qing Zhengsi as a candidate to be released to make up for the loss. But it was just a mere candidate.
Even if he regretted choosing someone, he didn't take it seriously.
"This young lady is too trusting. She only has one servant to accompany her, so she dares to find someone to come to her door privately." However, the steward's confidant thought of it again and added: "But you didn't say anything, young ladies.
I didn’t dare to move, so I left the person in the side courtyard first.”
Later, several news about Cheng Shilian were reported to Le Xingda by several subordinates summoned in the banquet hall; but he suddenly showed a faint sly smile on his face: "There are actually
With this kind of connection, I will have fun tonight."
"Send the people to Yiziyuan first, and make all kinds of preparations first," Le Xingda then ordered to his men: "After I have been used, I will try to lure the gentlemen in the front yard.
Come here. The origin of this matter starts from the door behind them."
He didn't originally intend to act rashly against the Cheng family and get into more trouble in vain. However, the Cheng family members were in urgent need of medical treatment, and such an opportunity came to him. He had no reason to do so, both emotionally and rationally.
He let the other person off easily. But he didn’t know how heartbroken Cheng Shilian would be after seeing his sister’s horrific corpse a few days later, and he might very well turn to that person for help.
Then, as long as he reveals his whereabouts in the market, he will lead the matter to those men with bad reputations; in order to save their children, the families behind them will naturally turn to him for help... In this way, he can fulfill the orders of both families at the same time.
At the same time, I also gained the friendship and connections between those families, which can be said to be three birds with one stone.
At the same time, Jiang Tian, who sneaked into the main house at night, also followed the increasingly strict guards to the innermost building complex. He landed on the tile roof of one of the tall buildings. Then, he used the focused
After scanning the building with hearing and vision, a strange expression suddenly appeared.
