Xiang Yichun naturally understood what Xiao Chen meant, and tried to ask: "Master Governor, what should I do next?"
Xiao Chen smiled and said: "Now that the existence of the mother and son has been found out, take people over and arrest them!"
Xiang Yichun nodded slightly: "I know, Lord Governor! My subordinates will definitely help you with this matter... and I won't let you down!"
"Um."
Then Xiang Yichun handed over the house deed in his hand to Xiao Chen, left the place, and went to organize the arrest.
After Xiao Chen signed his name, he looked at the property deed.
He discovered that this big house with three entrances and three exits was in Qilefang in the east of the city.
After all, it was his future residence. Xiao Chen thought for a moment and called brothers Wei Zhongxian, Wei Feng, and Wei Yun to check on the situation.
On the way, Wei Zhongxian asked: "Master Governor, where is the house that your Majesty rewarded?"
Xiao Chen just smiled and said: "Qilefang in the east of the city!"
Wei Zhongxian's little eyes widened at that time: "That's a well-known place in the capital! The houses there cost at most one hundred thousand yuan! Moreover, in addition to the residences given by the emperor to a few first- and second-class officials in the court, , can be considered the best!”
Xiao Chen's heart moved, and he asked again: "But I am also very curious now. Are the housing prices in Beijing so strange?"
"A house with three entrances and three exits costs hundreds of thousands?"
Before going south, Xiao Chen actually didn't know much about prices in Dachu.
After going south, he gained some understanding. A normal house shouldn't be so expensive... and a house with three entrances and three exits is nothing.
The houses with gardens in the south are great!
Wei Zhongxian chuckled, rubbed his hands and said, "Lord Governor, you don't know something. What kind of place is this capital? Every inch of land is valuable!"
"Let me tell you this. It is said that you can buy this house for more than 100,000 guan... But in fact, if it doesn't matter, even if you get 300,000 guan, if you get 500,000 guan, they will still want to buy it. You're locked out!"
Xiao Chen rubbed his chin: "So it still depends on the place..."
Wei Zhongxian smiled and said: "That's not the case! There are many ordinary officials in the capital. Now they can only rent in the houses assigned by the court, let alone three in and three out... Having more servants at home is a problem!"
Xiao Chen didn't say much, he nodded and said: "Then this time the governor took advantage!"
"It's not like taking advantage."
Wei Zhongxian's tone became more serious: "Who are you? You are now the governor of the East Factory, and you are also a famous person beside His Majesty! A house with three entrances and three exits is nothing to you."
What Wei Zhongxian said was true, so even if his tone was very flattering, Xiao Chen felt quite comfortable.
He nodded and added: "If I go there this time, I will have to find ways to renovate the house."
"Let's avoid problems as much as possible."
"Um."
After about a quarter of an hour, a few people arrived at Qilefang in the east of the city.
After looking for the location, Xiao Chen finally saw the whole house.
Blue bricks and gray tiles are elegant in shape.
After entering the door, you can still see several osmanthus trees planted in the yard. Although the osmanthus flowers are not in full bloom yet, you can still feel the faint fragrance.
In addition, there are also several clumps of orchid grass and some flowers, which make it even more interesting.
Several people took a general look at several rooms. Some places were a little dusty, but the windows, doors, and lintels were all fine. The furniture inside could be moved in after replacing them.
Xiao Chen was very satisfied.
Wei Zhongxian was also praising the whole process: "This house is really good, and it deserves to be a house in Qilefang. And judging from the situation, I'm afraid there is no one who can't get it for 600,000 to 700,000 yuan!"
"Lord Governor, you are definitely not wronging me by living here!"
Xiao Chen just smiled and said nothing.
After walking around, Xiao Chen sat down in the study again, took a pen and paper, and roughly drew a simple design.
Wei Zhongxian took a sneak glance, still muttering in his heart: Are you hoping to add a secret passage in the yard?
Xiao Chen took out the drawing and blew on it. After the ink dried, he handed the drawing to Wei Feng and Wei Yun next to him: "You two should handle this matter. You must find it." Built by the right people!”
“Never go wrong!”
Wei Yun took the drawing and took a look at it, and finally understood what Xiao Chen meant.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, she is indeed a princess, she has left out nothing and is thoughtful!
In fact, the two brothers were a little uncomfortable just now. Along the way, Wei Zhongxian had all the words to say and they couldn't get a word in.
Xiao Chen actually sensed this keenly, so he left this matter to Wei Feng and Wei Yun.
The two nodded and said quickly: "Lord Governor, we will definitely get this done!"
Xiao Chen waved his hand again.
Wei Feng and Wei Yun quickly went down.
At this moment, Wei Zhongxian's eyes looked a little depressed.
I was very sincere along the way, so why didn't the Lord Governor leave this matter to me?
Could it be that I did something wrong...
When he returned to Dongchang, Wei Zhongxian, who was very depressed, said again: "Lord Governor, can you transfer me to Dongchang?"
He did this because he actually hoped that Xiao Chen could use him.
Xiao Chen just smiled: "I still need you to help me keep an eye on the Zongren Mansion."
"So maybe you can't stay in Dongchang to do business!"
Wei Zhongxian felt disappointed again.
However, Xiao Chen didn't say much. He took out a gold ticket from the drawer of the table and handed it to Wei Zhongxian: "This is a hundred taels of gold. You can keep it first."
Wei Zhongxian was stunned again.
Xiao Chen spoke in a gentle tone: "On your trip south, you have worked hard! It is definitely a success without fault..."
"I originally planned to give you a reward, but this time I just remembered it, so I just implemented it!"
Wei Zhongxian was very moved, so he quickly took the golden ticket, bent down and said: "Master Governor, in fact, this is the duty of a villain!"
"You can miss me so much, I'm so touched!"
Xiao Chen smiled slightly and added, "Even if it's just your job, you've done a good job, and you should be rewarded!"
"Besides, I have rules. As long as you follow me and do things in a down-to-earth manner, you will never be mistreated by me!"
The smile on Wei Zhongxian's face became even brighter, and he patted his chest and promised: "Master Governor, don't worry, I will definitely keep an eye on you at the Zongren Mansion!"
"I will definitely share your worries! I won't let you have any worries!"
Xiao Chen smiled and said: "Okay, okay! Just step back first!"
Wei Zhongxian left with a smile.
At this time, a figure in red suddenly appeared.
