"Wealth can be gained through risk. It is necessary to take a little risk, but you have to give me the money first. I can use it." The fat man said.
"What do you want money for? Give Qianye a betrothal gift?" Xiao Chen asked.
"How can I, Qianye, be so vulgar? She didn't want a betrothal gift. She also gave me all the money she had accumulated in the past few years. She is a good wife and loving mother, my Qianye." The fat man said proudly, "Now the two of us are together. Together we have more than 10,000 taels, but it’s not enough, so adding your 20,000 taels will be enough.”
"Damn it, you kid has been making a lot of money, haven't you? Where did you get all this money? Let Mo Feng check you later... Why do you want so much money?" Xiao Chen asked curiously.
"My money is all saved by hard work and won from gambling. You can check it out...stop talking nonsense. Do you want to give it to me?" The fat man stretched out his hand.
"Tell me first what you want to do?" Xiao Chen felt that the fat man was hiding something from him. Damn it, didn't you have some romantic debts outside and have an illegitimate child, so you wanted money to settle them?
"Buy a house." The fat man said, "Today Qianye and I walked around the city and found a big house in front of Yujie. The owner is a rich man and he is about to move his family to Yanyun. , I was in a hurry to leave, so I took it cheap, only forty thousand taels of silver! That’s a huge bargain."
"What the hell are you sick?" Xiao Chen was shocked when he heard this, "You are not buying a house in our Yanyun, but you are buying a house in Fengyang City. What do you want to do?"
"You don't know how expensive a house in Changzhou is, don't you? Let's not talk about the location. For a house of the same size as this, it's impossible to buy it without 200,000 taels! I have to be able to afford it even if I want to! "The fat man said.
"Just the two of you, why did you buy such a big house?" Xiao Chen said.
"You can't even afford a small one. A three-way house costs 70,000 to 80,000 taels of silver!" Fatty said, "It's all done by rich people from outside. Why do you have to squeeze out so much in the mountain city? It's like This second-rate house buyer doesn’t want a big house in the capital, so he has to sell it and go to Changshan... he is really sick!"
"Well...this is actually a good thing." Xiao Chen still felt very proud, but then his face changed, "But you can't live in Fengyang, you! If I rebel in the future, will you be okay? Besides, we can't bear to leave Qian. Ye...it's mainly because Linger is reluctant to part with it. If you don't believe me, if you ask her, she will definitely disagree!"
Xiao Chen wouldn't say that he couldn't bear to let Fatty go.
"Who said you want to live here? You also bought this place. How many times do you live here a year? Chiba and I discussed buying it first and renting it out on weekdays. We can also have a stable income of several hundred taels a year. The value will definitely appreciate in the future, and we will rely on this property for our retirement." Fatty said.
"Swear!" Xiao Chen asked the fat man to swear.
"I will swear to you if you give me money." The fat man said.
"You give me an IOU first." Xiao Chen said, "I'm afraid you will default on the debt even if you don't get the job done."
"Are you sorry? How much money have you defrauded me in the past few years..." The fat man grabbed it immediately and took out a piece from his arms... This is not a banknote, what is this thing?
"The portrait of the suspect." Xiao Chen said, "Zhao Yu gave it to me just now, but I haven't seen it yet. This guy killed people in broad daylight on the imperial street. He is really cool."
"Why does this person look so familiar?" The fat man opened the portrait and looked at it, scratching his head and feeling like he had seen him before.
"You know so many people in the world. If you don't know, there is a murderer among them. Zhao Yu is a good person. If you know who did it, help him." Xiao Chen said and came over to take a look, "Yeah? Damn it." It looks familiar to me, isn’t this so damn..."
"Li Wanjiang!" Xiao Chen and Fatty suddenly said in unison.
"It can't be him, right?" said the fat man. "How can his emperor still kill people on the street?"
"But don't tell me that they are really similar, especially the eyes and the temperament." Xiao Chen was also hesitant.
It would be unreasonable to catch such a suspect on the emperor's head. Of course, it may just be a resemblance. Fengyang City has a permanent population of one million and a floating population even more.
So it’s not unusual for someone to look exactly like the emperor, but is it such a coincidence?
No wonder Ren Pijiang said that he was also stopped for interrogation. He looked very much like the emperor.
Moreover, this suspect looks to be about the same age as the emperor. He also has this beard and sideburns, mainly because of his majestic appearance...
Damn it?
If you don’t know, the suspect is really the emperor!
That was quite lively.
By the way, who is that? Xiao Yu, go find some pairs of glasses for myopia and send them to Mr. Zhao Yu, the prefect of Fengyang tomorrow. Zhao Yu’s eyesight is not very good. He is probably highly myopic. It’s okay to give him a pair of glasses. So that he could see clearly, could this suspect be the emperor? Maybe it's the prince.
"Speaking of the prince, have you seen him today?" the fat man asked.
"Li Feng said he was ill and didn't see me. He must not have the face to see me. Li Shi saw me and had dinner at his place at noon. He talked a lot of nonsense, meaning he wanted to get back together with me and renew our old relationship... Haha , He doesn’t have three hundred taels of silver here, and he is guilty of being a thief! I have never had any bad relations with him, so he said this without asking for it. "
"The times are different. Now I'm afraid Li Feng also regrets offending you. It's just that this kid would rather be tough than say soft words... If I were him, I would definitely try my best to win you over now. What time has it been? , You still want to save face!" The fat man laughed.
"You are really cool. Are you comparing yourself to him? His reputation is not even comparable to your big ass." Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"That's true." Fatty said with a smile, "By the way, is your banknote real?"
The fat man just used his magical power to take out all the 20,000 taels of silver notes in Xiao Chen's arms, and put them under the light for closer inspection...
The news that the emperor was planning to make Xiao Chen the Marquis of Yanyun had been known for a long time. Before he went to Yizhou, the emperor had hinted it when he sent Li Shi to convey the decree to him.
Of course, everyone didn't take it too seriously, because the emperor's original words at that time were, 'How can I be stingy about the reward, so what if I just make you a duke? '
It was promised, but it seemed like it was not promised.
In other words, it is still somewhere between the two.
And after Xiao Chen captured Yizhou, he actually occupied it directly and even sent all the Zhou soldiers and horses stationed in Yizhou out of the country as gifts. His intention to rebel was clearly revealed.
It's not bad if you don't kill his head, but can you also make him a marquis?
Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen came back... came back...
The nature of the matter has changed. The emperor might just go with the flow and make him a marquis!
And Xiao Chen had some damn luck. He cured the queen's incurable disease and solved the emperor's personal problems just after he came back.
With new achievements, the possibility of becoming a marquis increases greatly.
But the emperor's heart is really unpredictable. The emperor said that he would not grant Xiao Chen the title of waiting this time. He would wait until he made another immortal contribution and then grant him the title...
