Chapter 89 Step by step

"Firstly, the prince did not say it himself, and secondly, he has no evidence. Why is he seeking death?"

Mo Fugui was speechless immediately, and it made sense when he thought about it.

Nangongshan knew that he had a reason for saying this, so he asked: "Fei Li, what is your intention with this move?"

"There is no intention, it's just to make things difficult for them." Li Feibai smiled and said: "By the way, he also asked me to give you a message, saying that King Zhao has never paid attention to King Qi, so feel free to use any tricks you have

Come out and he will take over everything."

"Hmph!" Nangongshan sneered and said, "Who doesn't know how to say harsh words? Just don't cry like a child when the time comes."

"Your Majesty, how is the Qian Mansion's investigation going?" Li Feibai wanted to show with action that he would not leave Prince Qi's Mansion, but would continue to help him deal with Prince Zhao.

Of course, this is only temporary.

"We have only found out so far that there has been no increase or decrease in personnel in the Qian Mansion recently."

"That means that the person who disposed of the body must still be in the Qian Mansion. Next, we only need to find this person and use some means to force him to report Qian Liangye, and then this official minister will be finished." Li Feibai said.

"I will ask people to step up gathering information." Nangongshan nodded.

Li Feibai walked to the door and looked into the sky, where a few dark clouds were floating by.

"Your Majesty, the weather in Jinglin is about to change."

Nangongshan also heard something in his words and asked, "Fei Li, why do you think so?"

"Qian Shaocheng is dead. Zuihonglou is the organizer, so he must be implicated in some way."

"That's right." Mo Fugui continued: "At noon, news came out from the city government office that Chen Gongzhi, the minister of Dali Temple, had followed up on the case. As the organizer of Qiuxing, the Madam of Zuihong Mansion failed to take preventive measures and was ordered to pay a fine of 100 yuan.

Ten thousand taels will be delivered within a time limit. If there is no money, the imperial court will seal the Zuihong Mansion."

After hearing the news, Li Feibai pondered slightly and keenly caught a glimmer of opportunity.

"One million taels, I guess the madam doesn't have that much money."

"Of course she doesn't have that much money, and a notice has been posted to sell Zuihong Mansion," Nangongshan continued.

"Zuihonglou for sale?"

"Exactly, sold for one million taels." Mo Fugui replied.

Li Feibai immediately turned around, his eyes were bright, and he said excitedly: "My lord, buy it immediately."

"Buying a drunken red house?" Nangongshan was puzzled: "But at the court meeting this morning, my father ordered the powerful children of the imperial city not to spend all day drinking and drinking. Then Jinglin's brothel will probably enter the cold winter, and at least 80% to 90% will close down.

, If we buy it now...will it make Father unhappy?"

"If we buy it, we won't use it to run a brothel."

Nangongshan and Mo Fugui looked at each other, still full of confusion.

"You asked the prince to spend such a large amount of money to buy Zuihong Mansion without running it. What on earth does Mr. Bai want to do?"

"Your Majesty, think about it, what is the gap between us and King Zhao? Isn't it just that we are lagging behind in intelligence?"

Nangong Shan nodded: "Yes, he was ordered to take charge of the Tsing Yi Division, and he can legitimately place spies among various officials and even the royal family, but I can only cultivate secret spies secretly, and I am indeed not as good as him in terms of intelligence."

"But if you want to obtain information, you don't necessarily have to go to someone else's home. You can often get some important and private information in the market."

Nangongshan nodded and motioned for Li Feibai to continue.

"If we buy Zuihonglou, we can turn it into a teahouse. Those rich and powerful families, without a place like the brothel, will naturally go to teahouses more. Then it will be easier for us to obtain information."

"That makes sense!" Nangongshan nodded repeatedly, and then said: "But there is another question. After buying Zuihong Mansion, who will be in charge?"

Li Feibai thought for a while and replied: "Well, it depends on whether the prince has any reliable candidates?"

"Yes, yes, but they all have their own responsibilities and cannot take care of the drunken Red Mansion."

"This... is quite troublesome. The person in charge must be careful and familiar with the powerful people in Jinglin. It is best if he has a certain reputation among the children of wealthy families. It is indeed difficult to find such a candidate." Li Feibai frowned,

A deliberate reminder.

Several people fell into silence, thinking constantly in their minds.

"Your Majesty, I have a choice." Lin Tianchong's eyes lit up after hearing Li Feibai's words.

"Oh? Tell me." Nangongshan became interested.

"We can let Xu Qianqian take charge."

"Xu Qianqian? That Zuihongloutou brand?" Nangongshan raised his voice.

"Yes, you think about it, she is most familiar with Zuihonglou, and the children of various powerful families have never forgotten her. After it was converted into a teahouse, they would often go there to support her. This provided us with a basis for obtaining information. Moreover, some senior officials were very excited when they saw her.

She was so fascinated that it became much easier for her to obtain some important information." Lin Tianchong replied.

After hearing his words, Nangongshan pondered slightly and did not answer.

On the contrary, it was Li Feibai, and Qiqi Ai Ai said: "Let a famous prostitute be the tea house master, isn't it... bad?"

Nangong Shan looked at him and smiled meaningfully: "Fei Li, others don't know, but I know very well that Xu Qianqian has been yours for a long time. Isn't it good to let her be the teahouse manager?"

Waving his hands hurriedly, Li Feibai was a little shy and said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, that incident... she brought it upon herself. Who asked her not to tell the truth to Qingyi Division for her own safety? I am so angry... besides

, It seems inappropriate for a prostitute to be the one in charge because she sees profit and forgets her duty. If the prince has other candidates, I suggest you give it up."

He pretends to object!

"Haha." Nangong Shan laughed loudly and continued: "It doesn't matter, people don't waste their youth in romance. I don't blame you, but you have to be careful in the future. This beauty in the eyes of Jinglin's powerful people has been planted in the dark for no reason.

In your hands, I don’t know how many people regard you as a thorn in their side.”

He did not comment on the second half of Li Feibai's sentence for the time being.

"I was so angry at that time that I didn't think so much."

"How does it taste?" Nangongshan asked jokingly.

With a hint of wretchedness on his face, Li Feibai replied coyly: "This woman only exists in heaven, and is rare in the world...that!"

"Hahaha." Nangongshan smiled while stroking his hands, and continued for a moment: "Well, remember before entering the mansion, I promised to find a good match for you. Since you haven't found a match yet, Xu Qianqian will treat it as my purchase and give it to you.

Fill the house, and when you find a beautiful lady in the future, I will personally marry you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Feibai thanked him profusely and shed tears of gratitude.

"But there is a problem that you need to know." Nangongshan turned around and said.

"Your Majesty, please speak!"

"Xu Qianqian is a prostitute. No matter what she does in the future, she cannot step into the palace. Do you understand this?"

In ancient times, powerful and high-ranking officials often redeemed prostitutes to become concubines or maids, but Nangongshan was different. He was a prince and a member of the royal family. If a brothel girl was brought back to the palace, no matter what the reason, she would definitely be condemned.
