Master Cui San took an orange in his hand, weighed it for a while, and then threw it back into the crystal plate. He clapped his hands and looked at Princess Fenyang seriously: "You are wrong. These two things have not been fully done. I have to go out first. You stay at home."
He was about to leave when Princess Fenyang hurriedly called him back. When Master Cui stopped, she didn't know what to say. After pondering for a long time, she sighed and solemnly told Master Cui, "Be careful in everything. Don't go too far. I'm always worried."
"What are you afraid of? I still have Master Bai Qi to back me up. As long as he wants to do his great cause, he has to help me, don't worry." Master Cui San raised his eyebrows, and thought of his niece again, and said to Princess Fenyang: "Don't always be so harsh to Chun'an, it's not easy for her, Shao Wenxun didn't do anything wrong to her, right? People are dead, she and the prince had a very good relationship, both of them died at the hands of the Su family, how could she bear this?"
How could Princess Fenyang not know this? If it was a question of hatred or not, didn't she hate the Su family
But what's the use of hatred? Your hatred is only valuable if you have real means, otherwise, wouldn't it be a joke in the eyes of others? But there was no need to say these words to Mr. Cui San. She knew that Mr. Cui San was a person who cared a lot about gain and loss, and he would easily get carried away after making some achievements. So she simply said no more, just perfunctorily said "hmm", and sent him away: "Go quickly if you want to do anything. I have a headache, so it's a good time to rest for a while."
Mr. Cui San also noticed that she was not in good spirits, so he shrugged and responded.
After going out, Mr. Cui San turned a corner and went to Juhai Manor.
Juhai Manor was still bustling with people coming and going. There seemed to be an especially large number of guests today. Even though Mr. Cui San had handed in his invitation, he still had to wait outside for nearly half an hour before a few waiters came out to greet him. Mr. Cui San raised his eyebrows, turned inside, entered the second courtyard, and then went up the flying bridge. Looking at the crowded crowd below, he asked in surprise, "What's going on? So many people?"
"There are some new girls coming downstairs." The waiter was obviously used to this scene, and he didn't even glance down. He explained to Mr. Cui Sanye, "They are all from the Jiangnan area. They are young and beautiful. Now they are waiting to select the most beautiful girl in two days. That's why there are more people. If you are interested, you can go and have a look in the evening."
Mr. Cui Sanye sighed, but he had never been obsessed with women, so he didn't take it too seriously. He just smiled and nodded and went upstairs.
In the private room at the end of the third floor, Master Bai Qi was scolding a woman in her thirties or forties: "You can't even do these little things properly. If something really happens, you don't have to stay here anymore!"
The woman was so frightened that her face turned pale and she kept kowtowed to Master Bai Qi, and even her forehead was bright red and bleeding.
Master Bai Qi frowned with a look of impatience. When he looked up and saw Master Cui San coming, he suppressed his anger and snorted, "Get out!"
The woman immediately left, thanking him profusely.
Master Cui San was sitting opposite Master Bai Qi. After greeting him, he smiled and said, "Master Qi, what's the matter? Why are you so angry?"
Master Bai stared at Master Cui San with sharp eyes for a moment, and when he saw Master Cui San looked away uncomfortably, he shook his head calmly: "Nothing, the people below are not very sensible, and they messed up a good job, so they said a few words to her. How are things going on your side?"
It was clear that he didn't want to say more, and Mr. Cui San also knew when to stop, so he hummed and said, "It's going well. Cui Si has been arrested and taken to Shuntian Prefecture Prison."
Master Bai Qi watched as the man added more tea, shook the cup gently and asked nonchalantly, "Have you cleaned up everything? Don't let anyone catch you."
"Don't worry, I'm always cautious in what I do." Mr. Cui said, "Even if it's him, I'm afraid he's confused and thinks he killed someone, let alone others?"
Mr. Bai Qi said no more nonsense and just said lightly: "Things are going smoothly now. You have done a good job."
Master Cui San knew that this was an agreement with his meaning, and he felt a little proud in his heart, but he still looked calm: "This is just the beginning. Don't worry, we will definitely not be worse than the original Qi Yunxi. Anyway, no matter what you want, we can do it well."
Master Bai Qi gave him a meaningful look and said, "It's too far to talk about that now. You should take care of the things at hand first."
The mouth was too tight. Master Cui San felt bored, but he didn't want to quarrel with Master Bai Qi. He just remembered what the waiter said before about the selection of the courtesan, so he said, "I heard that there are many fresh young girls in the building. Master Qi, do you mind if I go to watch the fun?"
"What's the big deal?" Master Bai Qi didn't care at all: "Go to the Beauty Garden and choose. If you see someone you like, just keep her."
Mr. Bai Qi really doesn't take women seriously.
Since he said so, Mr. Cui San naturally followed suit: "That's great, I'll go and see what's so worthy of so many dignitaries flocking to it."
As soon as Mr. Cui San left, Mr. Bai Qi's expression changed. He stared angrily at the two people who came out silently from behind the screen and asked in a low voice: "What's going on?!"
"Seventh Master, calm down..." The two men said this in unison and knelt down hurriedly. The tall Qin Feng called Seventh Master first, and when he saw Bai Qiye looking at him, he lowered his head quickly: "It's just... the seals we used before were all from the Tong family. After the incident, the Tong family couldn't find Qi Yunxi's seal recently. Those people on the sea only recognize the seals and not the people, and they simply don't want to accept our goods..."
Their smuggling business was greatly affected. The Japanese and pirates who originally helped them deliver the goods did not see the seal and refused to accept the business according to the previous rules. They opened their mouths and asked for a huge profit. This time, they wanted to take 50% of the profit. 50%! How much money is that
"What does this have to do with the county magistrate of Xiangtan County, Hunan?" Bai Qiye listened impatiently: "Why did Liu Niang just say that the county magistrate sued the prefect?"
Qin Feng spoke hesitantly: "Godfather, that... black pockmarked man Shen Hai from the sea, he doesn't like the official... girl... Lord Qiu asked us to think of a way, and as time went by, it happened that the wife of the Xiangtan County Magistrate, Liu, returned to Fujian to visit her relatives..."
Mr. Bai Qi understood.
So this is the reason. He glared at them both coldly and said, "How foolish!"
