Zeng Cheng's eyelids kept twitching in the past two days, as if something was going to happen, but he didn't know what would happen. The Changfeng people had already arrived in the capital. As soon as they entered the city, they gave the capital a huge surprise. They beat the young master of the city defense commander to a bruised face and it was difficult to see people for several months. He didn't know how to complete the task given to him by the emperor now? This was so anxious that he was not old, and a few Huafa had come out. When he thought of the emperor's life-saving and cultivation grace, he had to complete the task.

Dugu Tianpeng appeared in front of Zeng Cheng without any notice, but Zeng Cheng had seen such a situation a lot. He was not surprised, but he knelt down at once and said, "See the lord!"

"Is he here?" Dugu Tianpan took a lot of effort to ask.

"Yes, he has been there for three days, but there seem to be two masked women around him, a man in his fifties who calls himself a housekeeper, and another person calls him a master. The subordinates were unable to find out the identities of these people for a while, and ask the lord to sue him." Zeng Chengdao.

After hearing this, Dugu Tianpeng also started to think: "Is it rumored that he is the son-in-law of Dian Kingdom, or the fiancé of Cao Ruifeng, and one of them is the princess of Dian Kingdom?"

Zeng Cheng looked up at Dugu Tianpeng and said, "I also have this suspicion, but I have never seen the princess of Dian Kingdom. Moreover, there are two stunning beauties around him, so I don't know which one is the princess."

"I am worthy of being my descendants. I can even fall in love with two more beautiful beauties at once!" Dugu Tianpeng said happily.

"Lord, actually, my subordinates think that they cannot fully determine the identity of the prince yet. Why don't you let the subordinates test it?" Zeng Chengdao.

Dugu Tianpeng thought for a while and said, "You are right. Such a big thing cannot be decided by guessing it. This matter will be left to you."

"Yes, lord."

"What do you think about the matter after the opposition?" Dugu Tianpeng changed the topic.

"The subordinates' official position is low, and this is the lord's family matter, so the subordinates dare not speak nonsense." Zeng Cheng said hurriedly.

"If you tell me, just say, how can we say so many mother-in-law and mother?" Dugu Tianpeng shouted with a deep face.

Zeng Cheng thought for a while and said, "I think no matter who is the position of queen, it is enough to be beneficial to the lord."

Still perfunctory, Dugu Tianpeng secretly hated him and threw him into the middle of the official fry. All he learned was some self-protection skills. It was a waste of his cultivation. However, there was no way. If he didn't break in and didn't understand what was going on, he would inevitably get involved in such a habit over time, so he felt relieved and said, "Then do you think the position of the concubine in the palace as the queen is the most beneficial to me?"

Zeng Cheng seemed to have thought carefully and said calmly: "Concubine Li!"

Dugu Tianpeng's pupils suddenly contracted, and his face suddenly changed: "You know, if you say this name, I can kill you immediately!"

Although Zeng Cheng was afraid, since he said it, he was prepared and said, "The lord has a better understanding of the situation in the court than his subordinates. Even if he doesn't say it, the lord knows who he is. He is loyal to his lord. Since he knows, he is not afraid to say it."

Dugu Tianpeng laughed and said, "Okay, okay. I have not made any mistake in cultivating you for many years, get up."

Zeng Cheng stood up, reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said intimidatingly, "It's so dangerous. If you don't say anything, there will be a rift between the king and the minister in the future. Let's say it, but I'm afraid the head will fall to the ground. Fortunately, the lord is not a person who can hide his bow, so he won the bet."

"You try to do that. If you really can't do it, I have a way to leave the capital. In addition, I will inform Yuchi Tian and let him fully support Cao Ruifeng to eliminate Lian Teng and his group. Although the Duanqing Village did not announce who attacked the village, everyone knows who did it. The court cannot ignore it. You go and visit Changfeng and ask him to write a memorial to submit it. Then I will issue an order to let Cao Ruifeng take over all the villages in the river. If you don't obey, you will eliminate all of them. We must firmly grasp this force. I cannot let this opportunity go for nothing." Dugu Tianpeng ordered before leaving.

Zeng Cheng understood that the emperor also started to take action, and Cao Ruifeng was not afraid of this generous gift.

Seeing Duan Caiyan handing over a carefully drawn map to her, Changfeng praised her several times, and finally promised to accompany her to go out for a few more times. With this map, Changfeng took Guo Huai to visit the most beautiful printing bookstore in the capital, Boguzhai.

Changfeng had already thought about it. Instead of operating it by himself, it would be better to sell this map to Boguzhai at one time. Duan Caiyan was very active and had no intention of taking care of this matter. Shui Ningxin was even more unfit. If Yue was there, the plan was OK. Anyway, this thing was only profitable at the beginning. In the later stage, other printing bookshops would also be stereotyped and would not be worth it. Unless the government does this business and lists it as exclusive, it can be made forever. However, it is OK in Dianjing, but it is not possible here.

The boss of Boguzhai is surnamed Chen, and he is also a scholar. He loves books as much as his life. In order to preserve some original works, he opened a printing bookstore. Unintentionally, Boguzhai became the largest printing bookstore in the capital. He is also a business material, so he also made a fortune by printing books. He was not interested in anything except books and money. However, he still loves books a little more than money. He can buy books for tens of thousands of taels of silver, and will not exchange books for silver.

After listening to Guo Huai's introduction, Changfeng thought this person was quite cute and worth dating.

Guo Huai knocked on the door of Boguzhai, handed the prayer post in, and waited outside for the communication.

"Master, there is a young man named Changfeng outside the door asking for you." The servant handed the greeting to Chen Sheng, the boss of his boss Boguzhai.

Chen Sheng was enjoying reading a book. When he came to disturb him at this time, how could he not be angry? He didn't even read it, and lit the brazier that had thrown the prayer letter aside. Chen Sheng had a problem, which was that he was afraid of the cold. It was already late autumn. He put a brazier in the house and burned charcoal, so the temperature inside was much higher. The servant was sweating on his head, but he had nothing to do.

When the servant saw that his master had burned someone’s visit again, he knew that he would definitely not see someone outside the door today, so he quickly turned around and went back.

Looking at the servant who was informing him with helpless expression, he knew that the master was unwilling to see them. Changfeng smiled and had already found out about Chen Sheng's habits before coming. He took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to the servant and said, "Please hand this piece of paper to your master. If he doesn't want to see us, what will we leave now?"

The servant had the paper in Changfeng's hand. When he saw Changfeng's sincere face, he nodded and ran in again.

"Master, let me give you this to you!" The servant ran away and handed the paper that Changfeng gave him to Chen Sheng.

Chen Sheng had to put down the ancient books in his hand, suspiciously took the paper from the servant's hand, and when he saw it, he was shocked and said, "Hurry, invite that person in."

Changfeng and Guo Huai were invited into Chen Sheng's study. Changfeng felt that the temperature in the room was much higher than that outside, but they were both very strong inside, so the temperature was nothing. When Changfeng and Guo Huai sat down, Chen Sheng asked unnaturally: "Who are you two? Why are you here to the capital?"

Changfeng was a little surprised, why did he seem to be an interrogation of a prisoner? He said, "Low Changfeng is the military advisor of Duanqingzhai and the commander of the River Governor. He is accompanied by the tent of the River Yard."

Chen Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, as if a stone in his heart fell to the ground. Changfeng saw it in his eyes and said in surprise: "Boss Chen seems to be very alert to me?"

Chen Sheng took the sketch of the capital map given to him by Changfeng and said, "Sir, can you tell me what kind of consequences would this map fall into the hands of our Dugu's enemy?"

Changfeng and Guo Huai looked at each other. They had not considered this. They were just considering it from a purely commercial perspective. They did not expect anything else. Guo Huai was also a temporary negligence and forgot this. However, his head quickly turned around and thought of a solution and said: "Boss Chen must be worried that this picture is only marked on the ground. As for state secrets such as city defense, we have no way to know it. It is just a tour guide to guests coming to the capital. I believe that even if it is obtained by a hostile country, it will be of no use!"

Chen Sheng looked at the sketch carefully skeptically. It was all about the routes of the streets and attractions he was familiar with. There was no other content. The palace was just a big blank. The words "The Palace" were marked, and the rest were nothing. So he felt relieved and said, "So that's the case, Chen was relieved. I wonder what the purpose of bringing this picture is."

Changfeng intentionally tested his business acumen and said, "We want to sell this picture to Boss Chen."

Chen Sheng was stunned and said, "Sell it to me?"

"Yes, I'll sell it to Boss Chen, how about 50,000 taels of silver?" Changfeng looked at him with a smile.

"50,000 taels of silver? Such a sketch?" Chen Sheng almost thought that the two people sitting in front of him were crazy. He had to buy a piece of broken paper for 50,000 taels of silver. This was a huge joke.

Changfeng still kept looking at him with a smile to see if he could understand the meaning of this.

Chen Sheng's face changed drastically, and he threw the sketch in his hand at the brazier and said, "Send out the guests!"

Changfeng and Guo Huai still sat still, Guo Huai said, "Boss Chen, don't you feel sorry for burning my master's 50,000 taels of silver?"

Chen Sheng's face turned cold and said, "What, you still want Chen to lose his compensation!"

Changfeng stood up and said, "Of course you don't need to pay, but if you want to buy it again, it's 100,000 taels."

"Crazy! Here comes someone, coax the pair of madmen out!" Chen Sheng called a few servants, and with Chen Sheng's order, they would invite Changfeng and Guo Huai out.

Changfeng still looked at him with a smile, but his body had already stood up and said, "If you don't have to pay for it, we will leave ourselves."

Guo Huai also walked out of Boguzhai, stepped out of Boguzhai's gate, and sighed: "This person has only a false reputation. Let's go, and the next one is Yanhu Academy."

Changfeng and Guo Huai walked out of Boguzhai less than ten feet away. Hurry footsteps came from behind, and a voice shouted: "Two gentlemen, walk slowly, Chen Sheng was wrong."

The two looked up and stopped. Chen Sheng followed with sweat on his face and said, "The two gentlemen are really talented. Chen was so stupid just now. Please ask the two gentlemen to see the cold!"

Changfeng and Guo Huai looked at each other and said, "If you forget a little, it will not be your turn to pay for this wealth!"

Chen Sheng quickly apologized and welcomed the two back to Boguzhai, asked carefully, and after some bargaining, Chen Sheng bought all the sketches on Changfeng for 75,000 taels of silver. He is worthy of being a businessman. His business acumen is much better than Changfeng. A map suddenly turned into many maps. It is difficult for him not to issue it now. He also plans to jointly invest with the government, so that he can ensure his exclusive operation. Isn't this a lot of money coming?

Changfeng and Guo Huai walked out of Boguzhai with satisfaction. This method of making money is too easy, but such a method of making money cannot be easily captured.

There was another huge gain. They got a news from Chen Sheng that Du Xiang, one of the four great princes in the capital, wanted to sell his ancestral home. Du Xiang was not good at managing and was kind and generous, and had no choice but to rely on the foundation of his ancestors to support himself. The Du family's ancestors were also a prominent family in the court, and he also had a queen with rich assets. It was passed down to Du Xiang's generation and had already declined. Originally, he was frugal, but he had no worries about food and clothing in his life, but he was very talented and could not even take out eight dou of rice in his family. He had no choice but to sell his ancestral home in exchange for living expenses. In fact, as long as he lowered his head, those noble families were willing to let him marry into the family. Not only could he have a good future, but he could also be rich and prosperous. Unfortunately, he was unwilling and it was difficult for others to force him. After all, no matter how bad he was, he was also one of the four princes in the capital.

Changfeng and Guo Huai immediately followed the address Chen Sheng mentioned and looked for it. It was easy to find. I think the Du family was also a big family in the past, but the door was a bit too broken, and I don’t know what the situation inside was.

Changfeng and Guo Huai knocked for a long time but no one responded, so they simply pushed and opened. The front yard was chaotic and there were a lot of debris. Except for the bluestone road, the ground was covered with a thick layer of dust. Is this the home of Du Xiang, one of the four young masters in the capital? Changfeng and Guo Huai couldn't help but doubt it.

A young man in gray clothes walked in from outside. Changfeng and Guo Huai turned around and looked, "What are you?"

The young man in gray also said, "What are you?"

Changfeng carefully looked at the young man in front of him who was a few years older than him. His bookish aura was indescribable elegance and elegance. An indescribable goodwill arises in his heart. Changfeng had already guessed who this person was. Du Xiang was also looking at Changfeng. This young man was younger than him. He actually had a terrifying temperament that made people unable to help but worship him. Moreover, his eyes were simply afraid to look directly at him. Who is this person? What is his purpose for coming to his home? There is also the man in green who is over 50 years old around him. He has an elusive temperament. This person must be a person with a very high mind.

After looking at each other for dozens of wonderful things, Changfeng first spoke: "This is Mr. Du Xiang, you are Du. It's under Changfeng. This is the despicable butler Guo Huai."

Du Xiang knew who this person was. Now, except for the queen, the most rumored one is the young man Changfeng in front of him. What did he come to him for? However, he is a scholar and replied very politely: "Du Xiang has met two of you, but why did you appear in my home?"

Changfeng hurriedly apologized: "I knocked at the door for a long time but no one responded. So he pushed it gently and the door opened, so he came in first. I hope Brother Du forgives us for trespassing."

Du Xiang was very sincere in his attitude of admitting his mistakes, and the displeasure in his heart disappeared, saying, "Is there anything you two who are looking for Du Xiang?"

Guo Huai coughed and said, "My young master heard that Mr. Du was going to sell his ancestral home, so he came over to take a look and visit Mr. Du by the way."

"Oh, so that's the case. Du Xiang only mentioned this to the boss of Boguzhai Chen Sheng. How do you know?" Du Xiang looked at the two of them with a look of suspicion.

Changfeng smiled and said, "It was Boss Chen who told me that we were so we couldn't wait to come over, afraid that we would miss it."

Du Xiang looked happy and said, "So that's the case, then Du Xiang will be relieved. Come on, Mr. Changfeng, what's going on in the conversation?"

"Please!" Changfeng followed the master and looked at the Du Mansion as he walked. The yard was quite large, and it was left and right, and several times went in. There were about hundreds of houses, but most of them were dilapidated and needed to be repaired before moving in.

When I walked into a pretty good yard, the tidy and everything was arranged in an orderly manner. I guess this was Du Xiang's residence. Du Xiang walked in front and said embarrassedly: "The humble room is simple, don't dislike me. There are only me and an old guard here. There is no one else. The old guard has a little back and can't hear the knocking sound."

Changfeng nodded quickly and said he didn't mind and followed him in.

When I walked into Du Xiang's study, I realized how simple it is. There are many books, most of which are old. Maybe the owner read it too many times, which became what he is now. It also shows that the owner is a knowledgeable person. It is said that Du Xiang is proficient in calligraphy and painting, but why there is no calligraphy and painting in the study. Changfeng felt a little strange. The room was clean and the furniture was relatively old. It can be seen from the light polished from it.

The old guard made a pot of tea for the three of them, and then the guest and host sat down.

Du Xiang smiled bitterly and said, "Du Xiang only told Chen Sheng about his ancestral home. He didn't expect that he would tell you this news. I don't know what the relationship between the two gentlemen and Chen Sheng?"

Changfeng smiled and said, "It's the first time we met Boss Chen, and we have some business dealings."

Du Xiang looked at Changfeng and said angrily: "The first time he met, he sold Du Xiang. Chen Sheng, Du Xiang will not sell books to him in the future."

Changfeng and Guo Huai looked at each other and were confused. Du Xiang immediately realized that he had lost his composure and said, "Du Xiang is in a hurry for a moment, don't be surprised by both!"

Changfeng thought he was unwilling to sell his ancestral home to him, so he stood up and said, "If Mr. Du doesn't want to sell his ancestral home, just look for it."

"No, no, no, Du Xiang didn't mean that. Du Xiang wanted to ask him to help sell it to a safe person. Everyone knows that I, Du Xiang, are not good at managing, so I asked Chen Sheng for help." Du Xiang quickly stood up and defended.

So that's how it is. He asked someone to do things and just deal with it casually. Even if Changfeng met it himself, he felt unhappy. So he apologized: "Young Master Du misunderstood. I thought the young master just had this plan and didn't want to sell it now. I urgently needed to buy a house, so I was a little anxious."

The two chatted about poetry, songs and affairs in the court. Guo Huai did not participate, but read Du Xiang's collection casually. Du Xiang didn't mind and let Guo Huai read it. Finally, he turned to the main topic.

Du Xiang thought carefully and asked, "How much money is Mr. Changfeng willing to pay for Du Xiang's ancestral home?"

Changfeng also thought for a while and said, "I am not very proficient in real estate. Mr. Du wants to sell it at a price. Let's discuss it."

Du Xiang thought carefully and said, "How about 200,000 taels of silver?"

Even though Changfeng didn't understand real estate, he had learned some of the fur after wandering around the past three days. The Du family's ancestral home included more than 500,000 yuan in land deeds, and he couldn't take such a big advantage. Besides, he was still a kind scholar who was kind and generous. Seeing that he knew this way, he was no different from the legendary one. In addition, he had a little affection for this person from the beginning, so how could he take advantage of others' danger? He couldn't help but ponder.
