After the immortal disappeared

The lady was doubtful: "Are you sure?"

"Not sure. Until such a thing is confirmed, who can be sure?" Nothing in the court can be guaranteed.

"..."

"But we have to give it a try." You Rongzhi stretched out his hand towards her, "Fifty thousand taels!"

"Let's talk in the morning!" Madam rolled her eyes at him, "It's already midnight, do you still have to rush to Sanmentou? Only a madman can do such a thing. Besides, it will take time for me to get the money out, so you can't wait until tomorrow morning!"

"Okay, okay." It's not that You Rongzhi is henpecked, he also needs time to think carefully and clarify his thoughts.

"Go to sleep."

…

As soon as He Lingchuan entered the post house, he smelled the fragrance of oil. I walked to the next room and saw that Dong Rui was eating sausages and fried chicken with wine.

"Is it done?"

"The shooting is over." He Lingchuan looked around, "Are you okay here?"

"Calm and calm."

"Where's Fu Bao?"

As soon as He Lingchuan finished asking, Eyeball Spider conveyed Wang Fubao's words: "Master, I am still where I am, everything is normal."

Dong Rui snorted: "Aren't you afraid that someone will attack me? Where are you?"

"It's slower than I thought, but sooner or later, don't take it lightly." He Lingchuan also sat down and reached out to grab a chicken leg. "I'm so hungry. There's nothing to eat at the sale."

At the Chibao sale, VIPs and onlookers could just sit and sit, and the VIPs could even get a glass of wine. Unlike Fang Canran's Dunyuan sale, where food and wine were freely available.

mean.

Twelve kinds of spices are added to the sausages on the table when they are made, as well as sweet wine lees. When you bite into them, you will not only burst into rich gravy, but also have a slightly sweet smell of wine; the fried chicken is first marinated with a secret recipe. It is deep-fried at the right time, golden and crispy, and it crunches as soon as you eat it.

He Lingchuan finished off a big chicken drumstick in three bites, thinking that the spices and fried food from Yao Country were a perfect match. He wanted to get another one, but Wan Qifeng suddenly came in from outside and reported:

"My lord, General Bai from the Criminal Department is here."

General Bai? He Lingchuan was startled. Bai Tan, the chief officer of the Criminal Department, once served as a general and fought in big battles, so everyone still calls him General Bai, and he also likes this title.

Why did Bai Tan come here in the middle of the night? They are not familiar with each other. He Lingchuan had dealt with many officials these days, but none of them were honest.

He first washed his hands in the basin and then said, "Let's go."

This season, a bunch of golden soapberries are placed beside the basin, which can be used as hand soap.

He Lingchuan returned to his room and saw several guards standing outside the door, their backs straight.

Bai Tan had already stood in his room. Seeing him come in, he smiled and said hello:

"Congratulations, Island Master, for returning home in high spirits and with a full load tonight."

He Lingchuan poured him a cup of tea with his own hands: "Everyone is cheering for TOEFL."

The two seemed to know each other very well, but this was actually the second time they met.

The first time at the Chibao sale.

Yes, Bai Tan was also at the auction just now, and witnessed the entire process when Prince Qing’s Mansion paid a large sum of money to buy the first jingshe in Youhu Villa.

Bai Tan took the warm tea and sat down to sip it slowly.

It seemed that he wanted He Lingchuan to speak first.

The soul-capturing mirror snorted: "Duhou came to the door in such a hurry in the middle of the night, and after he came, he had to help. These old things!"

He Lingchuan didn't take it seriously and kept a gentle smile: "What brought General Bai to come to me?"

Bai Tan then put down the cup and exhaled softly:

"I'm not afraid of being laughed at by the island master. I came here overnight to buy a villa from you."

It was late at night, and he was too lazy to go around. Coming to the door in the middle of the night, there must be something for someone to ask for, and both parties know it well.

He Lingchuan had a vague idea of ​​his purpose, but he was still a little surprised to hear him say it himself.

The first official to come to the door in person was actually a military general?

The reactions of other important civil servants were not as quick as his. General Bai was not as simple as he appeared.

But with his position as the chief officer of the Ministry of Punishment, he is indeed qualified to buy a monastery. "The construction of Bieyuan has not started yet, and there is no real scene for General Bai to show. I will get the drawings..."

This must be done in advance to avoid further disputes later.

Bai Tan waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, no, you don't need to, you don't have to look at it."

Does he care about the monastery itself? hehe.

"Which row do you want?" Bai Tan knew his position.

“The first row near the lake.”

Near the lake? He Lingchuan looked at him carefully: "Only the last one of the monasteries in the first row near the lake is left."

The monasteries near the lake are the largest and most luxurious, with better views, but they are limited in number, with only three in total.

"Give it to me." Bai Tan put a few banknotes and pieces of metal on the table. "These things are worth more than 50,000 taels of silver. I want the last one."

He Lingchuan simply made it clear: "What is the significance of buying the monastery? Does General Bai understand it?"

Bai Tan pointed at the silver coins on the table and grinned: "Of course, otherwise why would this monastery be worth fifty thousand taels?"

These people are always willing to underestimate the minds of generals.

He Lingchuan then took out a wooden plaque with a gold label from his arms, handed it to him and said: "General Bai is such a fierce general, he must be at the forefront at all times."

"I will go through fire and water for the sake of the king." Bai Tan took the sign and put it away, stood up and said, "If you encounter any difficulties while building the house, just come to me."

If you think about his position, you will know the weight of his words. He Lingchuan looked overjoyed: "Thank you, General Bai! It seems that I can walk sideways in Tianshui City in the future."

"You can do it now." Bai Tan laughed, stood up and left.

After a dozen breaths, Dong Rui walked in and saw He Lingchuan sorting out the treasures on the table.

"Wow, how much is this? Thirty thousand, fifty thousand?"

"Fifty thousand." Bai Tan didn't give much gold and silver, but gave several kinds of precious materials, each of which was very valuable. This is also a way of thinking. Some natural treasures are not large in size, but the price is high.

Well, the black market in Tianshui City is said to be very developed.

Dong Rui was shocked: "Why is it more expensive than the final price of the auction? If he really wants it, why doesn't he bid on the spot?"

"He may not be able to bid on the spot, and he will help to drive up the price. That would be a lose-lose situation, and he might offend the Qing Palace." If it weren't for the Luodian people helping to drive up the price, the first Jingshe would not have been sold at such a high price. "Why don't you come to me privately to negotiate terms."

"He came overnight because he was worried that someone would buy the Linhu Jingshe first."

As soon as Bai Tan offered the fifty thousand taels, the first row of Jingshe in Youhu Villa was sold out.

"Qingwang Mansion, Yuwen Family, Bai Tan." He Lingchuan stroked his chin and said, "They are very suitable to occupy the first row of seats near the lake. If it were someone else, they might not be able to stand."

"According to the information I got, Bai Tan has a bad temper and is impulsive and straightforward. This is somewhat different from what I saw with my own eyes."

Dong Rui asked curiously, "Why does he have to occupy the first row of seats near the lake?"
