The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No advertisements! When Qiyou arrived in Yangzhou, he started to play everywhere. This reassures those who have ghosts in their hearts, but Chang Yongnian is very angry. He directly wrote a note and sent it back to the capital, but Pan Shengyuan couldn't stop him.

The notes of imperial envoys and entourages can all be heard directly. So this brochure arrived in Qihao's hands a few days later.

After reading it, Qi Hao smiled and said to Yuan Bao: "You go to Baihua Garden and tell the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager that I will have dinner at night."

In the afternoon, Qihao went to Baihuayuan to show the excerpt to Yuxi. Seeing Yuxi looking at him, Qihao smiled and said: "Mother, this is a complaint note written by an official who followed Qiyou to Jiangnan."

Only then did Yu Xi accept the notebook, and after reading it, she said: "This method can only be used once."

Yun Qing didn't understand, and asked, "What do you mean it can only be used once?"

"Qiyou travels around the mountains and rivers. If Bai Zhenghu really has a problem and sees him, he will feel at ease. Once people lose their vigilance, they will easily show their feet." But if Qiyou finds out that Bai Zhenghu has a problem, everyone will know about it He's not really a dude. In the future, when they go to the localities to investigate cases, those officials dare not relax.

Qihao said: "Mother, Chang Yongnian said in the brochure that this Bai Zhenghu lived a very simple life, and no one in the family was invited. He and Mrs. Bai did all the affairs of the family by themselves."

Yun Qing was not interested in this matter at first, but after hearing it, he was very surprised: "There are still officials living in such poverty in my court?"

Yuxi laughed after hearing this: "The magistrate's salary is sixty taels of silver, and it doesn't cost much to buy a servant. You see, Nie Xin is dedicated to the people and lives a simple life. But even he has three or four at home. A servant." Nie Xin passed the Jinshi examination and was released as an official. At that time, he recruited the county magistrate of a county in Yunnan.

When he was an official, he was diligent, honest and dedicated to serving the people, so Yuxi liked him very much. However, Yuxi didn't promote him very quickly, and it's not a good thing to be promoted too quickly at a young age. So even though Yuxi liked him very much, she didn't deliberately promote him. Now, he is still just a fifth-rank Zhizhou.

Nie Xin didn't know that Yuxi had been paying attention to him all the time. Without any background, he was promoted from county magistrate to magistrate within ten years. His promotion was considered very smooth.

Yun Qing heard the meaning of Yu Xi's words: "You mean that his simplicity is all fake?"

Yuxi shook his head and said: "You can't say that. Maybe it just happened that the family encountered difficulties and needed a large amount of money, and he was unwilling to accept other people's funding, and then sold the valuables at home to pay back the money. And Qiyou happened to be Going to visit him at this time."

"Of course, it might be pretending. It's just that it's easy for a dignified magistrate to pretend to be poor." So Yuxi thinks it should be impossible to pretend to be poor.

Yun Qing asked: "So, he may have something to hide."

Yuxi said with a smile: "I'm not a god, so how can I know whether he is pretending or hiding something. I will know about this matter after a while." After the case is investigated, it will be known.

Yun Qing turned to look at Qi Hao, and asked, "Ah Hao, did this Bai Zhenghu really collude with the salt merchant?"

Qi Hao shook his head and said, "Whether Bai Zhenghu is in collusion with the salt merchants is yet to be determined. But there is indeed something wrong with Jiangnan. Not long ago, Lu Fei's men accidentally seized a boatload of illegal salt." It is also the reason why Qihao ordered Qiyou to go to Jiangnan to investigate as soon as Zeng Xinde impeached Bai Zhenghu.

"Have you told Qiyou about this?"

Qi Hao shook his head and said, "No, I want to use this to train Ah You."

Hearing this, Yuxi said with a smile: "Then you have worn yourself out." This kid is not bad at all, but he is just too lazy. I just think about eating, drinking and having fun all day long, without any ambition.

But as a prince, this is actually quite good. Being too self-motivated can easily breed ambition. So knowing that Qiyou's job is to hang nets for three days and fish for two days, Yuxi never talks about him and lets him go. Others said it didn't work.

Qihao smiled and said, "Don't worry,

Can grind slowly. "Qiyou may have many shortcomings, but he respects him as a big brother. Let him do something, even if he doesn't like him, he will do it well.

In the evening of this day, Qiyou was having dinner with Pan Shengyuan and the others in the private room, when Xiao Er suddenly brought a young girl holding a pipa over.

Hearing that the girl came to play music for them, Chang Yongnian looked directly at Qiyou.

Pan Shengyuan frowned and said to Xiao Er: "We don't want to play music." Some high-end restaurants in the capital will also provide piano and music for the purpose of enlivening the atmosphere.

Of course, some of these women are performing arts but not their bodies. Yes, performing arts and selling themselves. However, most men are just playing for fun when they see it, and they won't really take it home. And Qiyou's reputation in court is not very good, it's just that he is not active in his job. In private life, Qiyou is notoriously clean, let alone a concubine who doesn't even have a concubine. Therefore, Pan Shengyuan was sure that this woman was not ordered by Qiyou.

Xiaoer said respectfully: "It was ordered by the guest in the next room, please listen." It was also the guest next to him who gave him a reward of ten taels of silver, such a wealthy guest is rare. After asking the shopkeeper for instructions, he brought the man over. But if these guests don't want it, he just takes it away.

Qiyou asked the woman, "High Mountains and Flowing Water, Flying Daggers, Autumn Moon in the Han Palace, and Fishing Boats Singing at Night. Which of these famous songs do you know?"

The woman gave a blessing to the pipa, and said: "My family can play..." The voice was like a clear spring, which made people feel very comfortable.

"Then you play a song called Gaoshan Liushui and listen to it."

Although Qiyou didn't learn temperament, he often listened to Liu'er and Huang Siling playing the piano. Under the influence of ears and eyes, there is also a certain ability to discriminate. So after listening to this girl's song, Qiyou found it very interesting, and asked: "You play very well, have you learned it for many years?" With such a level, it is impossible to be a singer in this kind of restaurant. The guest next door is intriguing.

The woman got up and gave a blessing: "My family has been learning to play the pipa since I was three years old."

"No wonder." Such a level cannot be reached in more than ten years.

After finishing speaking, Qiyou waved his hand and said: "Go down!" If her second sister saw it, her talented temper would probably help her. However, he was not interested in it.

The pipa girl glanced at Qiyou, then lowered her head and said, "Yes, guest officer." She was still a little nervous after getting the order today, but she didn't expect that the nobleman would not even look at her.

Xiao Er also tactfully withdrew.

Pan Shengyuan asked: "My lord, do you want to meet the guest next door?" See what this person's purpose is.

Qiyou laughed and said, "I'm tired, I have to go back to the inn earlier to rest."

From childhood to adulthood, there are countless people who compliment and flatter him. Even, there are many big businessmen offering money to him. What a joke, could he be short of money? Not to mention that the annual income of his three shops is very considerable, but to say that the farm and other things that his parents rewarded him are enough to make him rich and prosperous for a lifetime.

In the next room sat Rong Tongji, the richest salt merchant in Yangzhou.

When Qiyou left the restaurant, a burly man pushed him away and walked into the box of the neighbor's house: "Brother, they're leaving."

Rong Tongji smiled and said: "Prince You is a man of heaven, how could he see me just because of a singer. That would be too degrading of his status as a prince."

Yan Simao didn't understand, and asked: "Brother, since I know I won't see you, why send a singer there?"

"It's just to test King You's reaction." Speaking of this, Rong Tongji said with a smile: "Young King, it doesn't look like a hard-to-talk master." It's a good thing for them that King You is easy to talk.

"Brother, you are too cautious. You are just a young boy, and he became the left servant of the Criminal Ministry because of his good background. How can he have real skills." Like his elder brother, he fought for half his life to have a good life today.

Rong Tongji said: "Be careful, there is no big mistake." There are still some things he didn't say, and that person also specially sent a message to let them restrain themselves for a while, and no more changes are allowed.

Yan Simao is straight-hearted, and he didn't understand the twists and turns, so he asked directly: "Brother, what should we do next?"

Rong Tongji said: "Wait a little longer." If the master can be taken down, then there will be no worries. However, there must be sufficient guarantees to act. Otherwise, everyone will have to fold in if one is not careful.

Back at the inn, Qiyou just sat down when he heard the guard outside saying: "My lord, Mr. Chang is asking to see you."

Qiyou was a little impatient: "I'm tired, what's the matter for him to report back tomorrow."

Chang Yongnian originally wanted to talk about today's events, but seeing that Qiyou didn't see him, he could only go back wearily.

After taking a bath, Qiyou spread his hands and feet on the bed.

Zhao Qian handed over a pamphlet: "My lord, Ning Yi sent some things back." Ning Yi was one of the guards who disappeared after going ashore. His ancestral home is Yangzhou and he can speak Yangzhou dialect, so Qiyou sent him to find out the news.

Zhao Qian shook his head and said, "Yes."

Qiyou got up immediately when he heard this, and took the booklet from Zhao Qian. In addition to recording the life background of Yangzhou magistrate, Tongzhi and other officials, as well as the top ten wealthy businessmen, this booklet records. Among the ten rich merchants, salt merchants accounted for five.

After reading the brochure carefully, Qiyou's eyes fell on the name Rong Tongji. I will pay special attention to this person because this person came to Yangzhou eight years ago. When he came, he was just an ordinary merchant. As for the other four salt merchants, they are more or less related to the local prominent families or the former governor-general. Of the remaining five wealthy businessmen, four are local, and their wealth has been accumulated by two or three generations; the last wealthy businessman is a business genius, whose family history is known to everyone in Yangzhou, and is still talked about by many people today.

In other words, only Rong Tongji, without relying on anyone, took eight years to become the top ten wealthy businessman in Yangzhou from an ordinary merchant. Among them, there is no tricky Qiyou who doesn't believe it.

After a while, Qiyou said to Zhao Qian, "Tell Ning Yi to let him thoroughly investigate this Rong Tongji." He felt that there must be a gap in this person.

Zhao Qian nodded and asked, "My lord, how did they find out about Bai Zhenghu?"

Qiyou shook his head and said, "For now, we haven't found out what's wrong with Bai Zhenghu." Maybe it's really an upright official, maybe it's because it's hidden deeply. He'll figure it out, though.
