Fang Tinglan didn't even raise his eyebrows when he heard this request: "Where can I get you a gold mine now?"
"You can owe it first." Zhou Buyi smiled, "I'm easy to talk to."
"I owe it now so that I can wait for the compound interest in the future?"
"I believe the two mines are a piece of cake for Fang Qianwei."
"..." Fang Tinglan sighed, and put down his teacup, "I just thought you were just a rogue on the outside, but now you look the same."
The other party also bowed to him triumphantly: "Thank you, thank you."
Although this place is located in the Shiratori District, it is not like the solemnity and arrogance of the rich and powerful in the Yulan Street area. Most of the people living here are small officials with a little income outside the city or Bolang businessmen who have been in Tisu all the year round. . The sky was bright and the temperature was getting hotter and hotter. The children downstairs yelled to lead the carriage for the master, and the maids gathered in the shade and whispered about the privacy of the streets and alleys. Occasionally, a crisp slap could be heard. The long-eyed fly died under the slap. Fang Tinglan fanned the wind with one hand, threw the note that Qin Weiyu gave him earlier on the table with the other, stood up and drew the curtain: "How much do you know about the people who live here?"
"You're starting to use me now?" Zhou Buyi was stunned, he picked up the note and glanced at it, "Qin Weiyu just gave it to you? An old man with a coffin face like a master of the imperial school, even the girls are boring to compete with each other. Before they get married, they all put on a small face, like a dead husband observing a festival. Smiley, I'm not interested... Ah, by the way, I've heard about the person who lives here, and there's an old news about this person."
"How?" Fang Tinglan turned around.
"The person who lives in this place is called Yonoel, a lord who is empty, an old antique, and his wife who is also old and antique." Zhou Buyi picked up the gauze covering the fruit plate, twirled a candied fruit and threw it into his mouth. One cheek immediately bulged like a hamster, and he continued vaguely, "This lord was originally a close vassal of the Amber King, but he offended the king for some reason five years ago, and was thrown into the countryside to farm. After two harvests of corn, the cripple called him back from the countryside because he needed him to compile a dictionary. He took his few boxes of books, his wife and their only son, and hired a coachman from Xiaoye Starting from the dock, horses probably can't afford to rent any good horses. It only took three days to get to Jiumeng City, but it took five days... "
"Why are you as verbose as the old beggar I met this morning?"
"—on the fifth day they were kidnapped."
"..."
Zhou Buyi smiled. He didn't swallow the candied fruit in his mouth, and continued to roll it in his mouth: "I just said that this family has a short title, no real estate or annuity, and they are so poor that they can only eat it in the countryside." The ransom cannot be paid for those few boxes of cardboard. If he can’t pay, of course the ticket will be torn up, and the first one to die is the coachman.”
"My lord continued to write letters to his old friends in Jiumeng City. Unfortunately, I don't know if his group of old gentlemen who also ate paper had received the letter. Those gangsters dragged his son out as well. An hour later sent back his son's bloody underclothes."
Fang Tinglan didn't bother to rush him anymore, he listened to the kidnapping case in his left ear, and heard the maids downstairs muttering in his right ear that the peddlers at the fish market were fooling people with dead fish again today.
"I think it's very good. Originally, he would spend the money of four people, but now he only needs to buy his and his wife's lives. Tsk tsk, if it were me, I would only buy my own life." Zhou Buyi shook his head, "But it's okay It's his life, it's probably because the gangsters didn't close the cell door when they dragged his son out, so he and his wife escaped like this."
"Too fake." Fang Tinglan said.
"Everyone thinks it's too fake, but the lord killed him with one bite, and no one can go back to that time to check whether the cage is locked or not," Zhou Buyi finally finished eating the candied fruit, spat out the core, "He and his wife felt that it was the kindness of the heavens. It was the invisible and intangible gods who saved their lives, so they wanted to do a good deed to repay the heavens—the son was gone anyway, and they decided to adopt the first child they saw on the road. As an orphan, he treats him as his own child."
"Jiumeng City is full of orphans."
"That's right, the two of them adopted a little girl." Zhou Buyi said, "This girl is lucky. She changed from a little dirty ghost picking up trash in Hongliu Harbor, and now she is actually a lady in front of the princess. It's a pity Tisu His Royal Highness Longrong, the princess of the Queen, has been scared out of her wits since she was kidnapped once when she was a child. She rarely shows up, and even the girls who accompany her stay reclusive. Otherwise, I would really like to see this little sparrow that has turned into a phoenix. .”
"Finished?" Fang Tinglan asked.
"It's over." Zhou Buyu replied.
"Fake."
"It's true."
"Jimengren is so easy to fool?" Fang Tinglan didn't believe it.
"If this happened to Abal's favorites, those poisonous scorpion ambers and the sheriffs would have come to the door long ago, but a viscount with no money and no power, unless he said that he inherited a fist Big diamond, otherwise no one would want to care about it." Zhou Buyi curled his lips, "I went to the Public Security Department and the Household Registration Department, and after I registered for that girl, this matter would have turned over. If it wasn't for one of me The mistress and one of the prince's ladies handed handkerchiefs, and I will not know about this old thing."
When Fang Tinglan heard what he said, his heart suddenly moved: "Your woman told you, who were the people who went to the Public Security Department and the Household Registration Department at that time?"
"I don't remember the household registration... But I know the person who went to the Public Security Department. This person used to be the security captain who only cared about Hongliu Port. The lair of the White Tiger Gang, which has been entrenched in the mud area for ten years, killed the famous blind eagle Agg on the spot, and also captured the leader of the White Tiger Gang, Duo Wa, and was directly promoted from the captain to the sheriff."
"Don't be a fool, what's the name of this person."
"Faluko."
29.
Falluco is having a headache right now. He pinched the bridge of his nose back and forth, and looked at the young man in front of him helplessly: "Why did you fail all of a sudden?"
"It was you who said, don't conflict with the poisonous scorpion amber, I did it," Hailian still had a twig that he broke when he arrived, helpless and confident, "But they insist on coming. Is there any way." He also pointed to the corner of his mouth, "Look, what happens if you offend them."
"You should be glad they didn't kill you," Faluco sighed. He seldom sighed. Sighing would easily reveal a crack in the coldness and majesty that the sheriff should have. But when the boxing ring was noisy, the spider he wanted to catch might abandon the web and escape because of the wind. He couldn't bear the loss. He simply hibernated, "Okay, let Quiller go, and the whole job. Rest for a few days, and I will have someone come to you again when the time is right."
"Give me the money for Herac's job first, I need it urgently."
Faluco immediately understood: "Is the old sir short of money?"
"I haven't sent any money in half a year, so I should have given it long ago." Hai Lian nodded.
Faluco opened the drawer and counted a dozen coins from it, including gold and silver. He pushed these hard gadgets to the other side of the table with his hands, and the man suddenly sighed again: "How long do you plan to live like this?"
Hailian stopped pressing the index finger of the coin, and lowered his eyes, looking at the unhealed cuts on his knuckles. Fang Tinglan's medicine is very useful, the pain is gone, and scabs have begun to form. In a few days, the traces of the melee in the black boxing arena will completely disappear on the body.
But how long will it take for the knife stabbed in the heart by Lie Ma's words to heal
How long will this day last
"At least..." Hai Lian's voice was as soft as a feather, "Let me watch her until she gets married."
