Hongyun said, "One is on Xiangyang Road outside the Imperial City, and the other is on Zhongfang Street."
When Li Huaiyun heard about this location, he said in surprise, "Hey, dignitaries live in these two places, and they are only a few blocks away from the palace."
It seems that the emperor is really willing to give up. The two houses alone are estimated to be worth ten thousand taels of silver.
"Yes, maybe I gave you a house so close because I wanted you to marry the princess! By the way, do you have any interest in that princess?"
"It's useless for me to be interesting. I want people to like me."
Li Huaiyun put down his chopsticks, thinking about something in his mind. With this house, the next thing would be easier to handle.
First go to the household department, then pretend to be a businessman and go to the woman's home to meet her father to get a deeper understanding of the situation.
There is no way a wealthy businessman would let his daughter marry a poor boy like A Tian! There must be something hidden in this.
A Tian must quickly see the true face of this woman, otherwise he will fall deeper and deeper into trouble.
Hong Yun saw Li Huaiyun lowered his head and remained motionless. She pushed him with her elbow and said, "Hey, what are you thinking about?"
Li Huaiyun came to his senses and shook his head, "Nothing!"
"I have thought about those two houses, and I will wait for you to get married. Then, we will move to the larger place. With a few more people in the family, the place will seem a bit cramped. Besides, the streets over there are not crowded at night. More lively.”
Li Huaiyun didn't respond, and remained sullen, thinking about the follow-up plan.
"What's wrong with you? You look worried!"
Li Huaiyun put his hands on the table, turned sideways, and lowered his voice, "Auntie, tell me the specific address of the house!"
Hong Yun asked curiously, "What do you want to do? Go and take a look at the house?"
"Of course it's an important matter!"
"Ah, taking a woman to that house?"
"How do you know? Auntie!"
"Something's wrong! You just said you didn't want to get married, and now you want to take women there?" Hongyun suddenly remembered something, "Oh! You little brat, you actually want to take those women from Jiaofangsi to that house."
She waited for Li Huaiyun with an angry face, "Before you get married, you are absolutely not allowed to bring a woman from the Jiaofangsi to that house."
"That will ruin the feng shui of the house!"
"Why are there so many things?"
Hongyun pointed at him, "If you really do that, don't blame me for being cruel!"
"Oh! Don't worry, aunt, I won't do that. I just want to borrow the house and investigate a case."
"You didn't put the dead people there, did you?"
"How could I do such an unlucky thing?"
"That's good!"
Li Huaiyun thought that there happened to be a secluded house, so it would be quite convenient to talk to Fang Yuan in the house without having to worry about people hearing her on the street.
That was such a happy decision! Today I must let this green tea show its true colors!
Li Huaiyun got a land deed from Hongyun, and then started to search for information at the Ministry of Household Affairs. He also went to the rich girl's home, but did not see her father. He just had a brief chat with the housekeeper and left. Since the housekeeper was older, he didn't remember the past events very clearly, and he knew very little about the situation. Most of them had to be surmised based on the information from the Ministry of Accounts.
The result of the speculation obviously surprised him. The purpose of this woman approaching A Tian was not that simple. She probably had other motives.
The current situation of the Demon Slayer Division can only be understood by those who go deep into the front line of the crime scene. After all, they are the first to come into contact with the monsters.
"Sure enough, there is nothing we can't investigate. If we do, we'll be surrounded by undercover agents! Who got the Gin script!"
He came to the house based on the address above.
This is a house given by the emperor, only two streets away from the imperial city. According to people nearby, it was supposed to have been bought by a wealthy businessman and given to the Minister of Justice.
With the death of the demonized Minister of Punishment, this room naturally became empty. After some inspection, it was just right to use it as a reward.
However, what worries Li Huaiyun is that Hong Yun's words may be true. The emperor put this house here just to prepare for a marriage. This is what gives him the biggest headache.
When he climbed over the wall and entered the house, he found that the house inside was very luxuriously decorated with all kinds of furniture. The second house was several times larger than the place where he lived now, and there was an artificial lake called Cihu inside. .
It is said that the pavilion around the lake cost no less than a thousand taels. The luxurious decoration makes this pavilion look particularly leisurely and elegant.
Does the Minister of the Ministry of Justice have a special fondness for lakes? Why are there two houses with lakes? Wouldn't it be nice to fill them in and use them for other purposes?
Or, what is hidden in these lakes?
Li Huaiyun walked around the house and found that it was indeed a place where dignitaries lived, but it was different from where ordinary people lived.
Many of the furnishings in this room are relatively exquisite, and the materials used are also quite exquisite and expensive. The entire room is worth at least tens of thousands of taels.
He walked around the lake with great interest, and then jumped onto the wall. With light steps, he walked on top of the wall that was only as big as an arm. It was separated by an alley. There was also a house with a high wall on the other side, but from the outside, The decorations in those houses are no worse than those here.
Li Huaiyun raised his head with great interest and looked into the house on the side. The first thing he saw was a grassy field with a stone path on it.
At this time, a woman dressed in white, with a handsome appearance and long flowing hair stood in front of a desk. Her expression was indifferent, staring at the white paper on the table.
The servant next to her held an umbrella and stood aside to protect her from the falling rain under the dark clouds.
She leaned down and knocked on the table. The brush placed on the table flew up. She grabbed the brush in the air, then turned her wrist and dipped the tip of the pen into ink. This movement seemed quite sharp and swift. It seemed a little bit... The feeling of practicing family.
The woman waved the brush and began to draw on the white paper on the table.
"Hey! Who is this woman? She is mature and charming, and has a very high level of painting. To say she is a talented woman is not too much."
As for what the painting was, Li Huaiyun couldn't guess. Apart from the distance, only half of the content of the painting was shown.
But one thing made him quite curious. Usually he used this ink to draw in his study. After all, it could protect him from wind and rain, let alone this weather.
But this strange woman is actually painting in the yard with an umbrella. What's even more confusing is that the things in the painting are definitely not the surrounding scenery, but she has to paint here in the rain, which makes it even more weird.
Li Huaiyun knelt down and put one hand on the wall. He looked at it patiently for a while and found that the woman's figure was really enchanting. The peaks were upright and her body was tied around the waist. Although her arms were hidden in white clothes, But as long as the breeze blows and the cuffs are blown up, you can see the snow-white arms with skin as thick as gelatin.
As expected, she is a lady, and her movements have a special charm, not to mention that this woman has a concentration that ordinary people don't have, and she doesn't seem to be affected by the outside world at all.
Li Huaiyun jumped down from the wall. It was almost time before the appointment. He was now rushing to the gate, waiting for Fang Yuan to arrive.
He leaned against the door and after waiting for a while, he heard a knock on the door as expected. After dressing up carefully, the woman went to her appointment as scheduled.
Li Huaiyun opened the door of the house and looked at the charming and graceful Fang Yuan. He was shocked. He never expected that this woman had such a good foundation. With her appearance, no wonder A Tian was going to fall. ,
Fang Yuan put her hands on her abdomen, looking reserved. She stood at the door, glanced around, and said to Li Huaiyun inside the door, "Why did you invite me here?"
"I have something to discuss."
"whats the matter?"
"About A Tian, if you are not interested, you can leave directly!" Li Huaiyun pushed the door open, and then stood there with his hands folded in front of him, looking indifferent.
Fang Yuan walked directly into the house without any hesitation.
Li Huaiyun closed the door and led the woman to the balcony at Cihu.
"Why did you come to this house? This place is located in the center of Kyoto, and the people living next to it are all dignitaries."
Li Huaiyun walked in front and opened his hands, "Why, don't you look at me like a high-ranking official?"
"Hmph!" Fang Yuan looked disdainful, "Ah Tian has told me everything about your family background. Don't lie to me just by running into an empty house, and don't even think about my origins!"
"Your origin?" Li Huaiyun smiled flatly, "I don't know your origin, but why do you think this house is not mine?"
"Do you know how much the house costs outside? If you work for a hundred years, you may not be able to buy even half of the house."
"Is it possible, I don't have to buy it!" Li Huaiyun took out the land deed from his arms, showed it to the back, and then stuffed it into his clothes.
Fang Yuan could only read the two words "land deed" on it clearly, "You put it away before I could see it clearly. Are you feeling guilty?"
"Whatever you say, I just want to tell you that lying to you will do me no good! You are A Tian's sweetheart, not mine. Why would I want to pretend to be rich in front of you?"
"Don't you care about me?"
"It's a joke, you are A Tian's sweetheart. Even if I have feelings for you, I won't show it because I can't do that kind of thing."
"Besides, I have seen many women in the palace who are as beautiful as you. Are you thinking too much?"
Fang Yuan was speechless. She didn't know what to say next. She could only pretend to cough twice and said in a shy voice, "Okay, then I believe you. Tell me how you own the house." of?"
"I risked my life! For this house, I felt like a wooden man, lying on the bed and almost didn't come back."
"It makes me admire you for working so hard. It's not like your brother A Tian, who just wants to live a more stable life."
"Oh!" Li Huaiyun frowned tightly, forming a gap, "Don't you really know that he is working hard to earn money day and night for you?"
"And I heard that you have already discussed the matter of getting married!"
"Have we negotiated it?" Fang Yuan shook her head firmly and asked, "That's what he thinks. If it's the house here, I think we should have negotiated it together!"
Li Huai turned his head and glared at the woman. As he expected, the woman just regarded A Tian as a toy and had no real intention to marry A Tian.
They reached the second floor of the building, and Li Huaiyun sat down at the table. "You must be very curious at this time, why should I ask you to come here?"
"Not curious at all!" Fang Yuan said with a slight smile, "The two of us are alone again. I won't believe you when you say you don't have any thoughts, but this is human nature."
She gently stroked the bun next to her ears, and her charming posture and appearance were really heartwarming.
This woman really knows what a man wants!
