Zhao Ran left Shuibo Gate in the northeast of Yingtian Mansion and rushed to the warehouse area next to the Danmin Fishing Village on the riverside. When he came to the narrow courtyard of Dongji Pavilion, he met Dongfang Li, Wei Chaozong, and Wei Chaozong's sister Wei. Sanniang, as well as Dongji Pavilion interrogation experts Wu Jia and Ding Si.
Just as they sat down, before they had time to drink water, there was a knock on the door outside. Wu Jia and Ding Si rolled their eyes together, twisted their fat hips and cursed before going out. After a while, they closed the door hard, bolted it and returned. , sat back on the chair angrily.
Zhao Ran asked curiously: "What's wrong?"
Wei Sanniang couldn't help but said coldly: "I don't know why. This month, there are always some inexplicable people knocking on the door, asking for prices to buy houses. Especially these days, there are two people coming almost every day." Three dials.¡±
Wu Jia added angrily: "The yard next door has already been sold, and the price is twenty-eight taels. Just such a poor yard, with half an acre of land, is worth twenty-eight taels, hehe."
Ding Si also said: "Why don't we just sell the yard? I'm afraid this place is no longer safe."
Land in the capital is definitely more expensive than in other provinces. An acre of good paddy field can be sold for twenty-five taels or thirty taels of silver. But the problem is that this is just a tidal flat by the river. It cannot grow food and can only be used as a paddy field. The warehouse and yard are not worth much, and half an acre of land is twenty-eight taels, which is really expensive.
Several people were discussing here. Zhao Ran touched his nose in embarrassment and hesitated for a moment. He didn't know how to interrupt, so he just offered advice: "It's better not to sell it."
Wu Jia asked: "Why did Abbot Zhao say he wouldn't sell it?"
Zhao Ran said: "In this area in the north of the city, from west to east and close to the river, it is not recommended to sell. It may rise in the future."
Ding Si was curious: "Why?"
Zhao Ran then explained: "We are going to build a bridge, um, Yingtian Yangtze River Bridge."
Several people quickly asked, and Zhao Ran revealed the fact that the bridge was to be built here, and said: "The bridge is mainly built on the river from Longjiang Pass to Pukou City, so the land over there has to be acquired. Well-informed people People buy it first, and then sell it to the builder through a deal. As for this area, it belongs to the radiation area. In the future, some landscape avenues and garden villas will be built, and the land price will also rise."
Dongfang Li couldn't help but said, "Zhiran, is your news true?"
Zhao Ran nodded: "It should be true."
Wei Sanniang rolled her eyes at him: "It should be true? Why are you so sure?"
Zhao Ran coughed and said, "Well, because this Yingtian Yangtze River Bridge is what I want to build."
Everyone was stunned. For a long time, Wei Chaozong couldn't help but laugh, leading everyone to laugh together. Everyone didn't know why they were laughing, they just thought it was a bit funny.
After laughing for a while, Wei Chaozong said: "Then we at Dongji Pavilion can also buy some good areas and then sell them to Zhiran? Haha"
Wei Sanniang had a question she didn't want to understand, and asked: "Since we know that everyone is raising prices or making profits, why does Junior Brother Zhao still let it go?"
Zhao Ran replied: "If we don't let them make such a fortune, first of all, it will be difficult to conquer my land. Even if it is conquered, it will definitely cost much more money and the delay will be longer than now." , my bridge has been delayed in starting construction, and there will be various obstacles after the construction starts. I have prepared this money in advance, not only will everything go relatively smoothly, but also save money."
Wei Sanniang frowned: "What's the truth?"
Zhao Ran said: "Because so far, the people who can know about this matter in advance are the people I want them to know."
Wei Chaozong thought for a while and said: "Zhiran, then I'm not polite. When the time comes, Dongji Pavilion will build a piece of land. Of course, we won't sell it easily. Senior Brother Li, where are you Sanqing Pavilion?" "
Dongfang Li said helplessly: "Of course I have to buy a piece of it. Now that I know it and don't do anything, the elders in the pavilion will scold me."
After discussing this matter, everyone got back to business. Wei Chaozong said: "Chunfeng and Guanyun have been interrogated for three months. I originally thought that arresting these two losers would be in vain"
Wei Sanniang interjected: "Actually, all our efforts have been in vain. The two losers have been missing for three months, and Shang Sangong didn't even look at them. They have nothing to do with our investigation direction. Brother, you don't have to give it to me. Cover up, I admit this, I was wrong at the time, the two losers did go to Beishanfang because of coincidence."
Dongfang Li said: "It's not in vain. It is appropriate to arrest them at any time. They have a lot of blood on their hands."
Wei Chaozong continued: "Third sister, there is no need to blame yourself. Although the direction was wrong, now there is a good result. We have caught him again."A middleman. "
The thing is like this, after continuous, inhuman, and in the end even aimless and hopeless rigorous interrogation, Chunfeng and Guanyun confessed all the names of the people they could remember in their lives. In this long list of names, Among the list of hundreds of people, there was a name recognized by Wu Jia. This name was Taoist Tingfeng.
Tingfeng Taoist is the owner of Luoye Island in the East China Sea. Three years ago, when he landed in Zhili, he had a fight with a certain cultivator and caused serious injuries. He was arrested by Dongji Pavilion once and paid a large amount of fines and compensation. After being imprisoned for fifteen days, he wrote a letter of apology and then released him.
At that time, a large number of similar legal fighting cases occurred in southern Zhili, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Guizhou and other places during the same period, which once attracted great attention from Dongji Pavilion. Wu Jia and Ding Si were assigned to be in charge of the general office, so they happened to have tried him.
¡°This kind of person with a criminal record is usually a breakthrough in handling the case. The two fat women subconsciously stared at the Tingfeng Taoist and dug deeper. After many twists and turns, Chunfeng and Guanyun confessed that they and Tingfeng Taoist had an acquaintance because of a certain courtesan in a brothel in Yangzhou. In December last year Taoist Tingfeng came back from the sea and planned to buy some maidservants. When the three of them went to a brothel for a banquet, Taoist Tingfeng once mentioned that he bought two beautiful girls from an old man.
This confession was immediately reported to Dongfang Li and Wei Chaozong, attracting their attention. However, it has been so long, and it is not known whether Tingfeng has returned to the East China Sea. However, a dead horse is treated as a living horse doctor, and a group of people follow the instructions The vague clues provided by Chunfeng and Guanyun found Tingfeng Taoist's foothold, and unexpectedly discovered that Tingfeng Taoist had not left the capital yet!
So Dongfang Li, Wei Chaozong, and Wei Sanniang personally took action and captured the unconquered Archmage, a casual cultivator in the East China Sea, on the spot.
Taoist Tingfeng confessed that he came to buy the so-called "beautiful girl" - he claimed that he was not wrong. He believed that his buying and selling of maids for real money did not violate the laws of the Ming Dynasty, let alone the Taoist precepts. However, he knew that this was a joint investigation by Dongji Pavilion and Sanqing Pavilion, so he still answered all the questions honestly.
Almost all the questions focused on the old man who sold him the showgirl.
