Chapter 137 The richest man
"Master!" Du Fuchong received Lin Xiqi's message and rushed to the county government office.

"There should be specific news, right? There should be no problem with the Tianyan Tower, right?" Lin Xiqi asked.

In the past two days, Lin Xiqi asked Du Fuchong to find Tianyan Tower to buy some news about Wang Dong.

After all, with their current abilities, they can't know more about the inside story.

"Yes." Du Fu nodded.

So he told the news about Wang Dong that he got from Tianyan Building.

After listening, Lin Xiqi asked, "So Wang Dong is indeed an upright person."

"Yes, Wang Dong was very capable when he was a royal secret agent. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to become a thousand households before the age of 30 without any background. Unfortunately, it is precisely because he doesn't know how to flatter his superiors that he offended him. If you leave the people at the top, you will not be able to get promoted to the position above Qianhu. It is also because he is reliable in his work, and the people above turn a blind eye to him. Generally speaking, there are no benefits and no difficulties. , let him take the lead. Basically, he has done things, and he has not disappointed." Du Fuchong said.

"I don't know how much the Tianyan Tower is asking for these news?" Lin Xiqi nodded and asked.

"10 taels." Du Fuchong said.

"Tsk tsk tsk, it's really easy for Tianyan Building to make money." Lin Xiqi sighed, "Just any piece of news can be sold at such a high price."

"There's no way, who wants to ask for help from others?" Du Fuchong shook his head and said.

Lin Xiqi also understood in his heart that if he asks for something from others, he must pay a lot.

"Old Du, do you think we have the opportunity to form an intelligence force like Tianyanlou?" Lin Xiqi asked.

Du Fuchong was stunned, shook his head and smiled wryly: "Master, your request is too difficult to fulfill."

Lin Xiqi also talked about setting up his own intelligence organization before, but Du Fuchong just thought that, like some powerful sects, having his own intelligence source was enough.

But he never thought that Lin Xiqi's thoughts were so big that he wanted to be like Tianyanlou. He had never thought about these things, and he didn't dare to think about them.

"The goal should be enlarged." Lin Xiqi smiled, "Isn't Zuo Jian trying to let 'Goshawk' surpass the 'Blood Snake' and other old killer organizations? Then why can't this intelligence organization do it? "

Du Fuchong shook his head, he still felt a little unlikely.

"Master, the relevant information is not only based on strength." Du Fuchong said.

"I understand, Wang Dong also told me about it." Lin Xiqi nodded and said, "Intellectual ability can't be judged solely by skill."

"Master, do you want to use Wang Dong?" Du Fuchong asked.

"Do you think it's appropriate?" Lin Xiqi asked.

Du Fuchong knew what Lin Xiqi was thinking, and they hadn't found a suitable candidate for intelligence.

"Appropriate is appropriate. The ability of Emperor Dragon Secret Agent is worthy of recognition, especially those with outstanding ability like Wang Dong." Du Fu nodded and said, "But he is a member of the imperial court after all, so entrusting such an important matter to him, Still need to be careful."

"It is precisely because of this that I asked you to investigate Wang Dong's details." Lin Xiqi said, "He wants to display his ambition now, and there is no other possibility at all. From the court's point of view, it is already extraordinarily merciful not to kill him."

Du Fuchong nodded and said: "If he is really allowed to work for the young master, then there is absolutely no problem with intelligence."

"With well-informed news, all aspects can benefit." Lin Xiqi said, "Especially it can complement 'Goshawk'."

"Since the young master has made a decision, what do you need the old slave to do?" Du Fuchong asked.

"The main thing is financial support, and the rest has to be left to professional people." Lin Xiqi said.

Du Fuchong is considered Lin Xiqi's housekeeper, and he handles most of the matters, including money.

"No problem." Du Fu nodded.

The benefits he got from the Moshang faction and the sunset gang this time made his pockets bulge, and he no longer had to worry about the shortage of funds, at least for a period of time.

Under the auspices of Chen Changjie, many artisans from the county government began to repair the damaged houses.

Wang Dong also started to recruit yamen servants, and the notice has been posted.

There were a lot of people watching, but no one came.

After all, everyone is very clear about the treatment of Sandao county government servants.

After so many years, everyone has escaped, who dares to come?

"My lord, the steward Wang of the Wang family in the city is asking for an audience." The servant named Ma San came to ask for instructions outside Lin Xiqi's study.

"The Wang family?" Lin Xiqi asked a little puzzled.

"It's the biggest firm in the county, Wang's firm." Ma San explained.

"Oh? Let him in." Lin Xiqi nodded.

Wang's firm, he had heard of it, was a big force in Sandao County.

Speaking of it, the Wang family is probably stronger than the Moshang faction and the sunset gang.

It's not that he is stronger than the two factions, but that his background is stronger.

The relationship between the Wang family and the Liushamen became closer. Many women in the Wang family married disciples of the Liushamen. Over the years, some of these disciples became elders of the Liushamen and held high positions.

Therefore, the Wang family is well-known in Sandao County and even Dunhuang County.

Relying on this relationship, few people dare to provoke their Wang family's business name in Dunhuang County. After so many years of operation, the name of the richest man in Sandao County is not just for bragging.

An old man in his sixties, dressed in brocade clothes, walked over arrogantly.

"Your Excellency is polite." Butler Wang said with a chuckle.

"Why didn't you kneel when you saw me?" Lin Xiqi said flatly.

Steward Wang made a haha, but still didn't mean to salute, and said: "I heard that my lord has just taken office, and my master sent me to congratulate him."

After finishing speaking, Steward Wang touched it from his cuff, then took out a bank note and put it on Lin Xiqi's desk, saying, "Please accept it, my lord."

"What does this mean?" Lin Xiqi asked after looking at the 1000 tael bank note.

"My lord, you may not know much about the rules of Sandao County when you're new here," Wang Steward said.

"Oh? Are there any other rules that I don't know?" Lin Xiqi leaned back, squinted and asked with a smile.

Steward Wang sat down on a chair beside him unceremoniously and said: "No matter who is the parent officer in Sandao County, our Wang family will not treat adults badly, and we will give another 1 taels of benefits every year."

"What do you want me to do?" Lin Xiqi asked.

"Your Excellency, you don't need to do anything." Steward Wang smiled. "Your Excellency, you only need to wait for the benefits every year. We, the Wang Family, can handle other things."

"I understand, let's see off the guests." Lin Xiqi said lightly.

After Ma San sent Steward Wang away, he came back and said cautiously to Lin Xiqi, "My lord, the Wang family is very powerful."

Lin Xiqi understood that Ma San was kindly reminding herself.
