Da Song Private Investigator

Chapter 450 Overjoyed.

What happened to Xiongtian was a major mistake made by Bao Zheng and Hwarang, and the mistake was irreversible.

For a period of time after that, they sent people to look for the murderer, but there was no result. Fortunately, from late autumn to early winter, no one from Tsingyi Club tried to assassinate Bao Zheng again, and they didn't even make trouble.

There is not much difference between Duanzhou in early winter and late autumn. Except that the weather is a little colder, other things have not changed much, and it seems that it is difficult to see snow in this place.

Hwarang continues his detective business, and sometimes meeting a big one can make him eat and drink for several months. Around October, You Dan and Liu Yi rushed back from the capital, because things went smoothly this time, the emperor A lot of things were rewarded, of course, these were all for You Dan and Bao Zheng, but Liu Yihua Lang and the others had no share.

But You Dan and Bao Zheng are not stingy people, so they naturally have a share in the help, so on the day You Dan came back, they drank in the state government until late at night, until the middle of the moon, when the cold wind howled, the house The small stove burned out with a crackle before the scene ended.

After You Dan came back, Hwarang felt that he had to find a way to get some extra money. After all, winter was coming and New Year was coming. He wanted Wen Meng and the others to live comfortably with him, so he had to have more money.

But the case does not mean that there is one, so one day in early winter, he called You Dan, Bao Zheng and others together, but today it was not for drinking, but to discuss business.

When they heard that Hua Lang wanted to discuss business, Bao Zheng and You Dan felt a little timid, they were officials, so they could do business there, but for the sake of their friends, they had to listen to Hua Lang's words.

Hualang saw that the time was almost up, so he asked Bao Zheng: "Brother Bao is the magistrate of Duanzhou, how can the tax be high?"

Bao Zheng was puzzled for a moment, but he still replied: "High is not high, but I have not committed any corruption, according to the court tax, that's all."

Hua Lang nodded, and then asked You Dan: "You soldiers have been digging inkstones all year long, but your salary is so little, do you think it's hard work?"

You Dan didn't like to beat around the bush, he said: "It can't be hard work, but Xiangbing is like this, there is no way!"

After hearing what the two said, Hwarang smiled lightly and said, "Do you two want to make the warehouse more abundant and the brothers' pockets fuller?"

Bao Zheng was a little uncomfortable with Hua Lang's oblique words, so he asked directly: "Brother Hua, just talk about what you have, why bother to hesitate like this, and make so many foreshadowings."

You Dan couldn't take it anymore, so he quickly agreed with Bao Zheng.

Seeing the two of them like this, Hualang quickly laughed and said: "Duanzhou is a place rich in inkstones. After this place pays tribute to the imperial court with dozens of inkstones every year, it no longer exports Duan inkstones. Even if there are, there are some inkstones of relatively poor quality. However, there are very few inkstone shops that can be admired or collected by people. Even the largest inkstone shops in Duanzhou City, such as Moyanzhai and Tangfengzhai, may not be able to sell dozens of decent ones, so I mean, why not the government also open An inkstone shop sells our high-quality inkstones to those who come to buy inkstones."

Hearing this, You Dan shook his head again and again: "How can this be possible, the high-quality inkstones have been circled by the imperial court, and have been guarded by our soldiers all the time, and the inkstones used are only tribute inkstones, and outsiders are not allowed to dig them without permission."

Bao Zheng also shook his head again and again: "The government solves all kinds of difficulties for the people, how can they sell inkstones, no, no, no."

The two objected so much, but Hua Lang was not discouraged, and still persuaded: "Brother Baoyou, you are worried too much, and I didn't tell you to do this secretly. To ask the government to sell Duan inkstones publicly, it is natural to ask With the permission of the imperial court, I just give an idea to the two of you, asking you to ask the imperial court for instructions on this matter, so that with a good inkstone, the scholars and scholars of the Song Dynasty can write good calligraphy, and the state Yamen and Xiangbing brothers have income, so why not do it."

Hearing what Hwarang said, the two of them hesitated. They have experienced the officialdom, so they naturally understand some truths. For example, in today's capital, those powerful people, dignitaries and dignitaries send their men to open shops to make money. Opened a street, but the money they earned was collected into their own pancakes. If they opened an official inkstone shop in Duanzhou, they could avoid a lot of waste of inkstones, and most of the income would go to the imperial court, which could increase the court’s financial resources. , Emperor Renzong probably wouldn't refuse, would he?

After thinking about it like this, the two agreed, but at this moment, Hualang said: "The two of you must not write at the same time, and you can't both say that you should open an official inkstone shop. I think Brother Bao should suggest this. matter, and Brother You will write a letter to express his objection, so that the court will not be suspicious, and this matter will be successful."

After Bao Zheng and You Dan heard Hua Lang's words, they both felt that it was a pity that Hua Lang didn't become an official. He changed the rules of the officialdom like this, and he was able to figure out the holy will.

But they all knew the reason why Hwarang was not an official, so they didn't say anything about it.

Seeing that Bao Zheng and You Dan agreed, Hua Lang quickly laughed and said, "If the court approves this matter, I will ask for more money, but please allocate some money to make my brother's winter more stable." gone."

When Bao Zheng and You Dan heard this, they immediately burst out laughing. It wasn't until this time that they finally figured out what Hua Lang meant. They wanted to make a fortune out of this matter, but at this time, they also felt that , if Hwarang does not become a detective but goes into business, with his mind, he will definitely be able to make a fortune in these buying and selling things.

It's just that they didn't say these words, because they are friends, and they know Hwarang well, so they naturally know Hwarang's temper. If you do business, you will inevitably be fettered by the business.

After the three discussed this, they immediately went back to handle the matter. Bao Zheng immediately asked the court for instructions on the matter. discuss.

The two were busy going back and forth, while Hwarang seemed a lot more relaxed, because he seemed to have seen the white money go into his pocket, and while they were waiting for the news, a happy event happened to Hwarang. In other words, someone else's happy event found Hwarang.

It was dusk, Tang Wanli came to the detective agency in person, and then handed over an invitation card, which stated the date of his marriage with Lin Xianer, and the words to invite Hua Lang and the others. Such a happy event, Hua Lang is not good If he refused, he agreed to go.
