Merry Xianggong Ximen Qing

On the one hand, the Imperial City Division was secretly carrying out a large-scale cleansing, and on the other hand, it was recruiting personnel from outside.

In this kind of age, it is not necessary to exaggerate the political examination, but the background of the personnel still needs to be investigated. After all, the Imperial City Department is not like an ordinary place, but a mysterious institution that is directly responsible to the officials.

There are several sources of recruiting personnel, one is directly transferred from the forbidden army, and the other is through Ximen Qing's suggestion to recruit those rogues to settle down.

Most of these people are from poor families or are lazy in doing things. They have nothing to do and hang out in the society all day long.

After passing the background investigation and physical fitness test, most of the rogues taught by Lu Zhishen successfully joined the Imperial City Division and became Chazi.

Lu Zhishen was also recruited and took Qin Fei's previous position.

But the coquettish Master Lu did not return to lay life, he still dressed as a monk, firstly because he was going to see Elder Zhizhen at Wenshu Monastery in Wutai Mountain to return to layman, and secondly because he had been wearing monk robes for a long time, and he was not used to wearing those lay clothes for a while.

For this point, Qian Gui is omnipotent, whether it is Lu Zhishen who wants to return to vulgarity or continue to be a monk, Qian Gui welcomes them all.

In addition, Qian Gui's horse commander has also disappeared recently. After Ximen Qing asked, he found out that this horse commander always likes to float outside, so Qian Gui simply sent him to Tianhu's territory to make a stand.

While the Imperial City Department was in full swing, Yao Tuiguan from Kaifeng Mansion had a problem.

That was the tens of thousands of family property left by Liang Le after his death, and the problem of how to deal with the huge Feng Le Building.

Liang Le originally married a wife, but never had a child. Fan Xiaomei was killed by Liang Le not long after she was married, so there was no one to inherit the huge inheritance.

Liang Le has already been identified as the murderer, and if there is no one to inherit it, the property will naturally be confiscated.

At this time, several shopkeepers in the 36 main stores expressed their intention to sell Fenglelou, and asked people to look for Kaifeng Fu Yin, which made Yao Tuiguan feel a lot of pressure.

The key issue is that no matter who you give the Fengle real estate to, you will offend others.

At this time, it was the teacher's words that made Yao Tuiguan's eyes shine.

"My lord, why don't you go to Ximen to be an official? The Chuuxuelou opened by Pan, the concubine of the Ximen's official family, is doing well now, and the momentum has surpassed most of the 36 main stores. But everyone knows that the Chuuxuelou is real. His boss is a Ximen operative."

"Throw this tricky Fengle Tower to him, and your lord will be relieved."

Yao Tuiguan made a decision on the spot, sent an official document to Ximen Qing, and at the same time dismissed the shopkeepers with one sentence.

"For this matter, you should find Ximen to be an officer."

So Ximen Qing was wondering how many shopkeepers had come to his house in one day, and when he asked about it and didn't say anything, the official document from Kaifeng Mansion arrived.

For Ximen Qing, this was exactly what he wanted.

Fengle Restaurant was the first restaurant Jiang Jing brought into Bianliang when he arrived in Bianliang.

Today's Chuuxue Building is on the street of East Cross Street, which is already a very good market place, but compared with Fengle Building, it is far behind.

"It's a good thing, master!"

The fortune teller Jiang Jing's eyes brightened when he heard about this: "Fengle Building is such a good place, it must be listed as the general name of Chuixue Building!"

"Naturally." Ximen Qing nodded: "The Kaifeng Mansion thought it was troublesome and was afraid of offending people, so they pushed it to my side. I will accept this great gift."

After Jiang Jing was happy, he was a little worried: "But if this matter is not handled well, I'm afraid it will provoke Yushitai's gang, and King Jia will not look good at that time."

"Then come to an auction." Ximen Qing said with a smile: "I'll just be the host in the middle, and Jinlian will come forward to sell the Fengle real estate."

Jiang Jing gave a thumbs up: "That's a good idea. Come out as the shopkeeper of Chuuxuelou and open the auction, and no one else has anything to say."

After Pan Jinlian took over the Chuuxue Building, Ximen Qing and the magician Jiang Jing secretly praised her management ability. After a few days, everything was in order, and Ximen Qing felt more and more how correct the original decision was.

Ximen Qing also occasionally told Pan Jinlian some of the modern management methods he remembered, and Pan Jinlian not only absorbed them all, but also often drew inferences from one instance and came up with many ideas of his own, which surprised Ximen Qing a lot.

"If Pan Jinlian transmigrates to later generations, with her personality and ability, I'm afraid she will be a first-class strong woman." Ximen Qing thought secretly: "Fortunately, brother traveled here first, and his achievements are not small, so he can hold back."

When Pan Jinlian heard the news, she was not particularly surprised. Instead, she said lightly: "It is inevitable that things will continue."

Ximen Qing was speechless. From Pan Jinlian's point of view, this seemed to be a matter of course, and there was nothing to be surprised or happy about.

"Jinlian, what do you think of the public auction?" Ximen Qing asked slightly depressed.

"Those shopkeepers are all short-sighted, and they don't have the advantage of Jingyangchun like Chuuxuelou. I'm afraid most of them will withdraw as soon as the servants come forward." Pan Jinlian said without hesitation: "The remaining two or three are encouraged to persevere. It won't take a while. With effort, the servants can easily take it down."

"Since you're so sure, then I don't have to worry about it." Ximen Qing said, "Chuixue Building has become two places, so it takes more thought to manage it."

Pan Jinlian smiled slightly and said: "As long as you follow the methods taught by the master, there will be no problem step by step. My family sees that there are several excellent guys among them. If they are promoted to work, they won't be too busy."

"With you in charge of Chuuxuelou, I'm relieved." Ximen Qing smiled and hugged Pan Jinlian and kissed her. The fortune teller Jiang Jing pretended not to see him and hid out.

Pan Jinlian also responded enthusiastically, panting coquettishly: "These are all taught well by the master."

"Oh?" Ximen Qing's two hands have already reached into the place where he should go: "Master, I have taught you more than that. Come, come, and test whether you know it well."

Pan Jinlian bit Ximen Qing's ear and said, "Master...you are really bad..."

"Huh? Of course I'm a bad guy." Ximen Qing looked anxious, his hands had already touched a sensitive spot: "First test the first question, contestant, are you ready..."

...

...

When Ximen Qing got up from the bed, it was already sunset, and Pan Jinlian's performance made him want to stop, so he gave this "student" a score of [-].

As for another "student" Xue'er, she hasn't been too obedient recently. She plays with Hua Yuerong and Wangcai in the backyard all day long, and Wangcai seems to have changed from a spy dog ​​to a house pet. Hua Yuerong is ravaged.

From holding a wooden stick to standing up, sitting down, rolling all over the floor, Wangcai almost broke his tail, making Xueer and Hua Yuerong lean back and forth, especially Hua Yuerong, if you don’t like it, Wangcai will be there at night Only by guarding the door can you sleep with peace of mind.

Ximen Qing was horrified to see Xueer in the name of training, but he didn't bother to care about it.

In his mind, it is still a question mark how useful the spy dogs can be.

At least under Huang Chengsi's command, the spy dogs didn't do much good.

Sometimes when Ximenqing sees Wangcai, he can't help but think of Yeluyun's pair of "murder weapons".

A veritable murder weapon.

"My heart is softening. I should have taken that little girl down and ravaged her under me." Ximen Qing would regret it occasionally, but he always had a feeling in his heart that one day he would still meet Yeluyun again. See.

At that time, Ximen Qing will never let it go.

At this moment, a strange visitor came to Ximen Qing's house.

Zixuan from Baihualou.

The last time Ximen Qing saw her, she was almost insulted by Gao Yanei. If Ximen Qing hadn't appeared in time, Zi Xuan didn't know if she could get out of that room.

So for Zi Xuan, Ximen Qing can be said to be a lifesaver.

Ximenqing knew that Zixuan came out to work for Baihualou, but he still joked casually: "Could it be that Miss Zixuan is here to collect the bills? I don't remember going to Baihualou."

"My lord is joking." Zi Xuan laughed and said, "My shopkeeper said that if your lord wants to go to Baihualou, all expenses will be free."

"Oh? Such a good thing?" Ximen Qing laughed and said, "Then you have to thank your shopkeeper for me."

The last time we had a wedding, Baihualou seemed to have sent a representative to deliver a congratulatory gift, but the treasurer of Baihualou was mysterious and never showed up.

After laughing and laughing for a while, Zixuan took out an invitation card from her bosom: "My lord, I was entrusted by the shopkeeper to invite you to our Baihualou to watch the ceremony."

"Huh?" Ximen Qing opened the invitation card, and the fragrance from it was light but not strong, which made people feel refreshed.

Two or three lines of characters were written on the invitation in beautiful lower case letters, and the fonts were so beautiful that even Ximen Qing, who had a headache for teeny lower case letters, was pleasing to the eye.

The meaning is very simple, the Qixi Festival is approaching, Baihualou will have a grand event tomorrow night, I hope Ximen Qing can attend the ceremony.

The grand event of Baihualou?

Ximen Qing was very curious about this.

"Your Excellency will know when you go." Zixuan smiled and did not answer Ximen Qing's question: "When the time comes, all the literati and inkmen in Bianliang City will go. If Master Ximen goes, he will sit in the first seat. Sometimes there are some mysterious guests, Master Ximen, don’t be too surprised.”

"Okay, I will be there tomorrow night."

When Baihualou was in Qinghe County, Ximenqing was quite surprised. This Baihualou was different from other brothels, and it actually existed in all parts of the Song Dynasty. However, Ximen Qing wanted to take this opportunity to find out something.

Ximen Qing also searched for records about Baihualou in the files of the Imperial City Division, but did not get any useful information.

To put it simply, Baihualou abides by laws and regulations, does business that a brothel should do, and there is nothing suspicious about it.

If it weren't for Juzi's existence, Ximen Qing would not have suspected Baihualou.

Another suspicious thing is the girl Mengqing who claims to know her.
