And in the banquet hall next to the mansion's pool. As the host, Yinhou Le Xingda was also wearing a loose and transparent osmanthus cloth brocade robe with colorful flower garlands. He slowly walked barefoot through the middle of the spacious banquet hall; he was accustomed to facing the people who were drinking and teasing. The seat was full of guests, slightly raising their hands to signal.
Immediately there was a roar of congratulations and praises. For a time, everyone was shouting and honoring him, and the clamor of all kinds of flattery and flattery, flattery and flattery, almost overturned the entire banquet hall filled with wine, meat, dishes, and the aroma of fat and powder.
As the most popular prodigal son and romantic high-roller in Luodu City. As long as he stayed in the main house, he would open the door almost every day and entertain all kinds of guests in different ways; but those who were left in the lobby were just ordinary people.
As he walked out of this gorgeous lobby without hesitation, he passed through the long waterside corridor amid the flickering lights. Another more exquisite and simple and elegant small banquet hall also appeared in front of the servants who stepped out and sang in a melody.
As the door was opened in a hurry, the carved partition door was decorated with landscape paintings of ladies; with the oncoming light joy and deep singing. The guests in the small banquet hall, who were standing or sitting, looking carefree, smiling softly, or with misty eyes, all turned their heads to greet him affectionately.
But here, you can truly be entertained by him personally, and you are qualified to spend the night and stay in this garden; those people in the city who each have a certain status and influence. It's just that in a relaxed atmosphere, they and their attendant Jia Ji were all disheveled.
Even among them, on ordinary days, they may be dignified officials, famous scholars, knight-errant leaders in the capital, children of the Zhu clan, or wealthy businessmen and merchants from the Western Market. The first trip to the east... At this moment, they are all comrades who indulge in sex and have fun.
Therefore, when they arrived, they were accustomed to saying hello to each other and then continued to be busy drinking, or immersed in the fun of playing. On the other hand, Le Xingda took the initiative to call them by name, greeted a few of them, and joked for a few words before saying goodbye.
Normally, Le Xingda's main attention is not on them. Because compared to those outside those who are full of spectacle, they have three religions and nine schools of thought. Although these people are under his influence and benevolence, they can rely on their strength and influence; but in turn, they must also indirectly rely on and rely on him.
Otherwise, with just one word from him, some of them could be completely cornered, their futures cut off, or they could become the target of public criticism. As Le Xingda walked out of the banquet hall and continued to move forward, there were fewer and fewer slaves and maids greeting him along the way, and the environment became more and more quiet.
Finally, after a few cronies hiding in the darkness took the initiative to come out and silently salute and report a few words in a low voice, Le Xingda walked onto a rockery hidden by flowers, rocks and trees. At the top of the rockery, facing the water, there is a complex of buildings connected by winding corridors.
He couldn't help but straighten his clothes again before walking up the stairs. Because, in this most private and secluded building in the courtyard, there are from time to time a few to a dozen people, special guests/secret VIPs who occasionally come to visit secretly due to his kind invitation.
If the identities of some of these people were leaked to the outside world, they would undoubtedly be shocking existences; or they might represent some kind of overwhelming power, and even he would not be able to protect himself from it. But in this way, he gained some kind of secret, and also obtained multiple amulets in disguise.
And this was how he rose to great heights after that adventure at Gouji Ridge. And after a few years, it became a phenomenon of its own, without relying on the backing and support that faded away from the scene; it was enough to be able to thrive in Luodu City, which was far away from Xijing but not far from the court.
However, this time Le Xingda did not go to the temporarily vacant building to inspect the collections and entertainment methods he had specially prepared for the big shots. Then he went straight to one of the corner pavilions without making a sound, pushed aside the mural behind the stairs, and climbed down the stairs from the hidden passage.
Finally, he arrived at a spacious and fully functional secret room decorated with gorgeous curtains, bed tents, and carpets. In this secret room with multiple suites, the most conspicuous thing is that behind the curtain on the side, there is a row of shelves that are somewhat incompatible with the style of the secret room.
On the shelves, there are rows of locked and airtight boxes, in which, in order of importance, the fragments of words occasionally gained by his subordinates and attendants in private around the bed are collected and recorded. This is also the basis for him to control power behind the scenes and build a good family relationship with wealthy and noble families.
Maybe, he doesn't have the ability to push a certain rookie to a high position. But he is confident enough to use a sudden scandal to destroy a person's future at a critical moment; he can also cleverly arrange an accident to make a certain existence that is an eyesore disappear.
Of course, sometimes he would also turn into an enthusiastic person who solves problems for the high-ranking family; he would dispatch and deal with some noises and anomalies involving scandals in the family. Sometimes, he is a mediator who is good at dancing and achieves mutual benefit and win-win results of power and wealth through matchmaking.
However, he actually has the most secret identity. As the price for getting rid of Goujiling, most of the wealth he had accumulated over the years, apart from being used to maintain his appearance and pay for his subordinates, was actually invested in several Feiqian ticket dealers on a regular basis.
At least, within and outside the Eastern Capital City, he used the money and power, fame, wealth and status gained from transactions to acquire the tentacles and ears of all religions, gangs, and all walks of life; it was enough for him to be invincible most of the time, or Another roundabout way to achieve the goal. Even if there are occasional mistakes and setbacks, we can always get inside information in time and decisively send out a scapegoat, thinking that the official situation will be settled. Even if someone keeps an eye on him, he will soon be warned and blocked secretly by the nobles who have served him.
Then, having learned his lesson, Le Xingda became more cautious next time and hid himself deeper behind the scenes. And this is why he was once criticized, but now he is able to live openly and openly, visiting various families inside and outside the court, and becoming a guest of all major wealthy families.
However, he still has a few minor worries at the moment. First of all, the new yamen, Qingzhengsi, which he had given high hopes and paid for activities on his behalf, became a joke among the current ruling and opposition parties due to an accident, and several of the transactions he undertook were also ruined.
Secondly, he has been secretly communicating with him for many years and has a very close personal relationship with him, the Marriage Officer/Second Commander of the Wude Department; because he mishandled the incident in Longmen Mountain and neglected his duties (he was at his house that night) ), was promoted to Guangzhou Prefecture, the headquarters of the Nanhai Office.
Immediately afterwards, someone hoped to use his hands to create some trouble for someone; at least to make him temporarily free to take care of himself. In addition, there was another nobleman who secretly ordered him to send people to create disputes and conflicts in order to test what this man had gained in the Chang'an ghost market.
However, this seriously violated his principle of never getting ahead. Ever since he had to personally lead people to come forward to completely deal with the border military colonel who was visiting relatives and his family, and was almost killed by the opponent's counterattack, he has rarely appeared in such matters.
If it was one of them, he could handle it, but after the pressure from both families came down, Le Xingda had to think twice. Therefore, he must carefully calculate the matter and arrange a reasonable name to ensure that he can stay out of the aftermath as much as possible.
He was thinking quietly in this secret room while looking at the newly collected verbal records; suddenly a piece of text made his heart move. But he was a member of the martial arts club who went to his villa to get drunk and soothe his sorrows. There were subsequent rumors about the few masters who were defeated in the Kiyomasa Division.
After making preliminary arrangements for the initial contact, Le Xingda finally felt a little tired, but he was not sleepy. Then he walked out of the secret room, rang the bell to summon a confidant here, and asked in a deep voice: "Is there any new fun tonight?"
"It seems that there happens to be such a new thing." The steward's confidant said quickly: "Have you forgotten, before, someone was not in the Cheng family's house, but someone was lured over to beg for mercy in private. It was a young girl disguised as a man. It is said that she was Where is Cheng Shilian’s biological sister?”
"Cheng Shilian's sister?" When Le Xingda heard this, he thought about it for a while with some confusion before he remembered that the other party seemed to be him, so he introduced Qing Zhengsi as a candidate to be released to make up for the loss. But even if a mere selection person regretted it, he didn't take it seriously.
"This young lady is too trusting. She only has one servant to accompany her, so she dares to find someone to come to her door privately." However, the confidant in charge thought of it again and added: "But you didn't say anything, young ladies." I didn’t dare to move, so I left the person in the side courtyard first.”
Later, several news about Cheng Shilian were reported to Le Xingda by several subordinates summoned in the banquet hall; but he suddenly showed a faint sly smile on his face: "There are actually With this kind of connection, I will have fun tonight."
"Send the people to Yiziyuan first, and make all kinds of preparations first," Le Xingda then ordered to his men: "After I have been used, I will try to lure the gentlemen in the front courtyard to Come here. The origin of this matter starts from the door behind them."
But he didn't know how heartbroken Cheng Shilian would be after seeing his sister's horrific corpse a few days later, and he might also seek help from that person. Then, as long as a little bit of information is revealed in the market, the matter will be brought to those men with bad reputations; in order to save their children, the families behind them will naturally turn to themselves for help...
At the same time, Jiang Tian, who sneaked into the main house at night, also followed the increasingly tight guards to the innermost building complex. It landed on the tiled roof of one of the tall buildings. Then, after he scanned the building with his focused hearing and vision, he suddenly showed a strange expression.
