Chapter 43: Collection of buildings

Baoyue Tower is still open.

Although a very small number of well-informed people knew that the Fan family and the Second Highness had already started to make a fuss about this most popular building in Kyoto, the Fan family only beat the bustling board afterwards and did not react too fiercely. The Supervisory Office did not make many embarrassments on Baoyue Tower, so they thought that this matter was fading.

This is a natural result in the hearts of these officials. After all, no matter how arrogant Fan Xian is, there will always be many taboos to the previous prince. What's more, in the eyes of everyone, the second young master of the Fan family runs the Baoyue Tower. Although it has a little damage to the reputation of Fan's family, he will make no less money. Everyone works together to suppress this matter, which is a real win-win situation.

But in the eyes of the Kyoto people who were unaware of the information, only saw the inspection office circulating buildings and heard the sound of rain falling in the Fan Mansion, this matter was a bit strange. When did our Majesty's secret service start to take charge of the brothel? What happened to the Fan family? Why did the little overlords who have always been rampant on the streets of Kyoto suddenly disappear?

But no matter who knows this or who don’t know this, they think that this will conflict with the common powerful people in Kyoto. In the end, because of those invisible but densely populated networks of relationships, they disappeared without a trace. As the saying goes, you are good, hello everyone.

However, the heads of the Baoyue Tower, girls and shopkeepers, were not as relaxed as outsiders, because since the Supervisory Office confiscated the building, the boss had never been to Baoyue Tower again, and he seemed to be missing. Although there were rumors that the young boss had been banned, there was always a little difficulty for everyone to feel at ease without a certain letter. Moreover, the second boss had a special identity. It was impossible to take care of the building every day. For a time, although Baoyue Tower maintained its appearance calm, there was already a vague undercurrent flowing slowly.

On the undercurrent, the second prince's group of people were also wondering why the Fan family sent those involved in the brothel murder directly to Kyoto Prefecture?

Since Mei Zhili's transfer, this vital yamen has been controlled by the second prince. The other party must have known that Kyoto Prefecture is the power of the second prince. If the Fan family is preparing to tear apart and send the second young master to the official investigation, and is unwilling to be threatened by itself, then why is it only reported that Fan Er Shao is confined, but there is no sign of the Supervisory Office, and the Fan family is taking action?

The second prince was having a headache about this matter, but he never expected that the Fan family had already driven Fan Sizhe out of Kyoto so resolutely. He sent Fan Sizhe to a foreign country quietly. The Supervisory Office did nothing but leaks - but the vague concerns still prompted the Second Prince's faction to start making some preparations, but when things came to an end, they were shocked to find that they had no relationship with Baoyuelou and were extremely innocent. Even if they were wary of Fan Xian's revenge, they didn't even know what painful foot Fan Xian could catch him, so where should they start?

No one can grasp Fan Xian’s ideas, and no one can guess the execution ability of the executor Mr. Xiao Yan.

On this day, the wind is light and the clouds are light and the yellow leaves are floating, which is a good day for outings outside Beijing and enjoying chrysanthemums.

There are six days left before the royal chrysanthemum appreciation day, and the officials, gentry and people in Kyoto took their families to the suburbs. In addition, it was daytime, so Baoyue Tower seemed particularly quiet. Due to the uncertain future, the great boss disappeared. The guests who were always full of energy leaned weakly beside the pillars. The girls on the lakeside forced to laugh, accompanying those old lewd pokers who were promising for the day, some unknown insects jumped desperately on the stone steps under the side corridor, screaming at the top of their lungs, struggling in vain, waiting for their doomsday to come.

The guys in the building seemed a little restless. They wiped the table with the rag and placed it in the past. Fan Sizhe had issued strict orders. This table must be tried with white silk to confirm that it is not stained with dust. How could it be as easy as it is now?

Suddenly, one of them walked in. The man had very thick eyebrows, but he looked like he was painted. Although this appearance was ordinary, it was very remembered by others. So the guest who had received him one night suddenly recognized him and was stunned by the gate of Baoyue Tower. He bounced his body but did not dare to go forward to respond.

A guy looked at Mr. Zhike strangely, put the gray rag on his hand very neatly, and sang: "A guest is here..." The ending sound fell, and it sounded very crisp and beautiful.

The visitor was slightly stunned, and a wry smile appeared on his face, as if he was in a great difficulty. He stood in the vast hall of the Baoyue Tower for a while, and finally couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Let Shi Qing'er come to see me."

This time it was the guy who was stunned. He thought that this guest had a big tone and asked Miss Shi to see him in person, and he called him his name directly? There are many powerful people in the capital, but who is not polite to Miss Qing'er when he arrived at the Baoyue Tower?

Mr. Zhike, who knew this person, finally woke up, wiped away the cold sweat from his forehead, ran to the man, and said respectfully: "Sir, I'll go and pass it right away." Then he asked the servant to lead this person to the second floor of Jia Er on the third floor, the quietest room in the Moon Tower, and ordered the good life to entertain him.

When this person went upstairs, the first-floor friends gathered up and talked nonstop, not knowing which god was coming. When the storm of the Moon Tower was not coming, but people's hearts were already drifting, a little moved would cause great anxiety to everyone.

Finally, someone remembered that this person with a very strong eyebrows, like an ordinary scholar... He was the companion who came to visit prostitutes with "Mr. Chen" that day! Who is Mr. Chen? He is the brother of the boss of the Dadong family of Baoyuelou! He is the popular young master Fan in the court! The person who came there is naturally Lord Fan's confidant, and I am afraid he is a senior official in the Supervision Bureau.

Everyone in the building was stunned. They all knew what happened that day. Their building was afraid that they would offend Lord Fan so badly, and even the boss suffered. Today, the other party came again. Could it be that the Supervision Bureau wanted to copy another building? Can this Baoyue Tower be opened?

At this time, someone sighed and said, "Look... I'm afraid that the building will give you a lot of money to resolve this matter... It's a pity that although the boss has acted a little ruthlessly, his business is indeed very powerful... He has to fill these official places for no reason, and no matter how good the business is, he will be tossed away."

"Bah!" Someone couldn't stand him pretending to be the priest of the Qing Temple and laughed: "You idiot. The boss of the Datong family in Baoyuelou is the younger brother of Lord Xiao Fan. The Supervisory Office can't collect the cash from us. Could it be that the two of them have to go in with their left hand and out with their right hand? There is an old minister above the head of the man."

The man was slapped and said, "What did this person come to the building to do with Lord Fantisdi?"

The person who came was Shi Chanli. Today, Fan Xian was having a relaxed and happy life. He was a prescient scholar, but he was driven to the brothel by his disciple, and he was naturally in a bad mood.

A strange light flashed in Shi Qing'er's eyes. He respectfully served tea. He knew that although the person in front of him was not an official, he was Fan Tisi's confidant. The boss had disappeared all these days. The other party suddenly came. He really didn't know what he was here to do. After a moment of pause, he asked gently, "Mr. Shi, I don't know what Gui is here today."

Shi Chanli hesitated.

Shi Qing'er was chosen by the third prince. She didn't have a deep relationship with Fan. Seeing that the other party was hesitant, she was wrong. She covered her lips and smiled and said, "Now they are all a family. Could it be that Mr. Shi still wants to... come... copy... building?"

She said that this copying words was very deep and unspeakable.

Shi Chanli frowned slightly, and he didn't like the girl's frivolousness. He took out a document from his arms and said in a deep voice: "I came today, not to copy the building, but to... I took over the building."

Accept the building!

Shi Qing'er was stunned. She picked up the thin Wenshu from the table and swept it quickly. Her face changed suddenly. After seeing the bright red finger marks below, she subconsciously bit her lip. After a moment of silence, she finally digested the shock in her heart. Zhang big eyes asked: "The big boss will give you all the shares in the Louzhong?"

With surprise and disbelief in his words, how much money would it cost to Baoyuelou's 70% of its shares? Why did he turn his hands so easily? Shi Qing'er knew that this matter must not be so simple, so she frowned and asked, "Mr. Shi, this matter is too big. I can't bear it."

Shi Chanli smiled bitterly and said, "You don't need to agree. From today on, I will be the boss of Baoyue Tower. I just came to inform you."

Shi Qing'er bit her teeth: "Dare you ask Mr. Shi, where is the current person in the big boss? You have to talk about such a big deal in person."

Shi Chanli was very good at writing. The document he wrote a few nights ago was clean and simple. Unexpectedly, he was forced by Fan Xian to be the big shopkeeper. He felt extremely uncomfortable and felt a little bit self-contained. He listened to the other party's questioning and couldn't help but say coldly: "Is this transfer document fake? Don't be too long-winded, and the person who checks the account will arrive later. Don't have any other thoughts."

Shi Qing'er found out that the Fan family was about to escape from Baoyue Tower and used the scholar in front of her as a shell, but her level was not enough and she didn't know too much inside information. Yuan everyone suddenly disappeared, so she had to delay: "Since Baoyue Tower is about to be named Shi, I am also making a living, how dare I argue with you..." She calmed down and said with a smile: "But there are still 30% of the stakes in this building... That young master, I think Mr. Shi knows it."

No matter what, as long as the third prince's 30% of his stocks are in Baoyuelou, your Fan family will not be able to push Baoyuelou cleanly. But she didn't know that Fan Xian had no idea to kick Baoyuelou away from the beginning.

Shi Chanli looked at her and suddenly smiled, and his two thick eyebrows twisted vividly: "Today, I want to trouble Miss Qing'er... I tell that I have also collected the 30% of the stocks in the second boss's hand."

I accepted it too?

"What a tone!" Shi Qing'er said furiously, thinking that it is of course simple for your Fan family to receive, but he actually wanted to take away the shares of the third prince with nothing to say. It's not that simple!

Shi Chanli finally slowly entered the role of the brothel owner and said in an orderly manner: "I have many ways to collect these 30% of the shares. At this time, I proposed to give the second boss a face, and Miss Qing'er should be clear about this."

Shi Qing'er snorted coldly: "Oh? It seems that I want to thank Mr. Shi, but I don't know... how much money are you willing to pay?"

Shi Chanli stretched out a finger.

"100,000 taels?" Shi Qing'er asked in confusion. She thought that the price was indeed fair. Even if Baoyuelou can continue to operate well in the future, 100,000 taels and 30% of the stocks would be considered a good land price.

Shi Chanli shook his head.

"Is it only ten thousand taels?" Shi Qing'er was shocked.

"I only have one thousand taels of silver." Shi Chanli said sincerely: "Scholars... are always poorer."

"It's too much to deceive others!" Shi Qing'er said angrily: "Don't think that your Fan family can cover up the sky with one hand, don't forget who these 30% of the shares are!"

Shi Chanli raised his eyebrows and said in a harmonious voice: "Miss, don't get me wrong. These 70% of the shares are from Shi Chanli, and have nothing to do with the Fan and Cai family... As for whom the 30% of the shares are, I don't care much."

Shi Qing'er said coldly: "So what if you don't give up these 30% of the shares?"

"First, some letters may be copied from the Baoyue Tower, such as foreign countries, and I am not very clear about the crime." Shi Chanli said with a smile: "Second, a Baoyue Tower will appear immediately in the capital... Since I own 70% of the shares in the Building, I can naturally drive away all the friends, guests, and girls in Baoyue Tower, and then Baoyue Tower will naturally recruit him again... Miss Qing'er can think about it. How short can the Baoyue Tower, which does not exist yet, completely crush the Baoyue Tower?"

Shi Qing'er showed a firm look on her face and refused to retreat: "First point I don't believe it at all. Could it be that the Fan family... isn't Mr. Shi willing to carry Yuelou and collapse? Use 70% of the shares to die with us?"

She looked proud: "The second one is even more impossible. When the big boss first chose the location, he was very particular. Moreover, these red-card girls signed a dead contract with our building. How could they leave just by saying that?"

Shi Chanli shook his head and sighed: "Miss Qing'er still doesn't understand the current situation... You have to be clear that I am the boss of Baoyuelou now. What kind of dead contracts will count if I say it."

Shi Qing'er's face changed.

Shi Chanli stood up, pushed the window and looked out, and said with a smile: "As for the location of Baori Tower, I will not hide it from it, it is on the side of Baoyue Tower. It is also on the bank of Shouhu Lake... The reason I have been here to collect the building after these geniuses is because two days ago, I was busy collecting the land deeds there."

Shi Qing'er was dumbfounded and speechless.

Shi Chanli was completely immersed in the role of a ruthless businessman. He waved his hand to catch the wind from the thin lake outside the window and continued, "As for the death to the end... If you never refuse to withdraw, then you will die to the end... Although the 70% of the shares of Baoyuelou are worth a lot of money, they have not been in my eyes yet."

As soon as he said that, he laughed at himself. When did he start to wash away the duty of a scholar, but he began to be a little intoxicated by this kind of bullying life? He was indeed a naked threat to Shi Qing'er. However, this threat is very easy to be implemented. It seems simple, but it makes the other party - or the third prince - unable to handle it at all.

The land next to Baoyue Tower has indeed been secretly recruited by the Supervision Bureau, and it is unknown what methods it used. Shi Chanli knew that every step of the house was extremely stable and unexpectedly there was a mistake. The young master Yan took action, and it was indeed amazing. If the third prince really refused to give up the 30% of the shares in his hand, Xiao Yan would definitely have a way to make this Baoyue Tower go bankrupt within ten days, and there would be no possibility of turning around in the future.

"Girl, you don't know the root of this matter, so don't think too much." Shi Chanli didn't need to send a message to the third prince. The news that Fan Xian wanted to hold Yuelou had already been passed into the ears of Concubine Yi in the palace through the Fan Mansion's own channels. Now the third prince is punished by Concubine Yi every day to copy books. Even if his money is felt sorry for being imprisoned by his cousin, he can't find a way to stop this matter for the time being.

He looked at Shi Qing'er's somewhat confused face, and the gentle nature of a scholar was on, and said with a smile: "I am a very good person. In the future, you will still stay in the building to do your best. Of course, you will not treat you badly."

Who knew that Shi Qing'er was a scheming person and always wanted to be responsible for the second boss... Although the second boss was just a young child, she thought of the child's identity and always felt that this matter was ridiculous and cruel - it was common for the tyrants to seize land in Kyoto, but how could anyone dare to take over the prince's property?

"If the second boss comes, I will naturally agree." She gritted her teeth and said, "But you and I have to deliver the money in the tent clearly, and you and I can't mess up every turn."

Shi Chanli nodded, and the building collection team that had been waiting outside the building finally walked into the building. Looking at the group of people, Shi Qing'er's eyes were straightened - the spies in the Supervision Institute in casual clothes... they were still spies. Who would dare to stop such a group of people coming to collect the building?

When he saw the old man in this group with long beards under his jaw and was admiring the layout and management style of Baoyue Tower, Shi Qing'er couldn't help but take a breath and could no longer speak. He thought that even if he tried his best, he would not be able to stop Lord Fan Tisi from swallowing the third prince's money alive.

The shopkeeper Sanye of Youqing Yutang took action personally. No matter how much he calculated it on the tent, I am afraid that Baoyuelou would all be counted as Shi in the end... No, the one with Tiansha surnamed Fan.
