"Let's wait a moment before talking about the wine." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and walked up to the second floor.

Under the guidance of the woman, the group came to the single room of Tianzi No. 2 and walked in directly.

The decoration and decoration inside the house are very good, and it can be seen that they are thoughtful. Even the paintings hanging on the walls can be seen as being written by famous artists at a glance.

There are two paintings, which show how attentive this brothel is. Those who can come here are naturally either rich or noble.

Everyone's expressions were inquiry, so the guards naturally searched carefully.

The Duke of Wei's face became not very good.

His Majesty just asked him a question. Do you know who the owner of this Lichunyuan is?

In fact, Duke Wei did not lie because he really didn't know who the owner of this brothel was.

But he knew another thing, that is, 40% of the brothels on this street belong to their homes, and most of them are relatively high-end brothels.

In addition, half of the flower boats on the Qinhuai River belong to their family, and they are also relatively high-end ones, which can be said to have monopolized the high-end market of Jinling's consumption.

You don’t need to investigate this kind of thing carefully, you will know that there must be a large amount of investment every year.

Even in later generations, the income of high-end business clubs is very considerable, not to mention that this is a brothel and this is Nanjing, so we can naturally earn a lot of money.

The Duke of Wei did not think that the emperor said something casually just now. No emperor would say something casually, even if he was the Duke of the Kingdom, he would not speak casually.

If you can have a business in Nanjing and do such business, you will naturally have a backend.

The Duke of Wei and his family were not the most powerful at that time, but they had existed for a long time. In the Ming Dynasty, their family had been for many years. Although they had experienced some things in the middle, they became better and better later.

All families have times of decline. When your family has people in the dynasty, your family is strong, but after you go to your family, your family will no longer be strong.

Only the Duke of Wei, every generation guards Nanjing. Whose family has declined? The stores they bought from others sold are enough to accumulate a very large net worth over the years.

In the entire Nanjing city, Duke of Wei and his family have many industries. In addition to the industries on the Qinhuai River, they also involve more and various industries.

When power and capital are combined, it is even more unstoppable.

Your Majesty's words must not be said casually, they are in their words. As for this family, Duke Wei also investigated it, but did not find it out.

The Duke of Wei also sent people to him, but it was useless. He could find out that the family had a deep confidence.

After all, some of the officials sent by the Duke of Wei to make things difficult for this family were arrested directly, while others were inexplicably cowardly.

In short, I don’t know why, but this store can’t move anyway. Moreover, this store has not been around for many years, and only five years have passed, but it has spent a lot of money. Not only has the store been very good, but it has also dug up many people. It can be said that it is very capable.

Zhu Youxiao did not go to see Duke Wei. Zhu Youxiao didn't care what Duke Wei thought, what Zhu Youxiao didn't care.

After sitting down, he turned to look at Chen Hong beside him and said, "Where is the person? Haven't you come here yet?"

"Go back to the young master, you'll be here soon." Chen Hong said hurriedly.

The Duke of Wei moved his heart.

Sure enough, Your Majesty came here, not just a casual walk. Who are you trying to meet?

I just don’t know who the person His Majesty is going to meet?

Not long after, a notice came from outside, and someone was brought in.

This is a man in his fifties, with a rich figure and a rich man in his clothes. His eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was smiling anytime and anywhere.

Duke Wei really knows this person. He is called Qian Sanye. He has a deep background and is also a person who has only emerged in recent years. He is very sequel to the ground in Nanjing.

It is said that there are very few things that Mr. Qian cannot solve. If he asks him for everything, he can find a solution for you. Therefore, he makes more friends and has many benefits to tie up, and he can enjoy both public and private sides.

After entering Nanjing City, Qian Sanye was a person who made money by selling news.

Whether it is news in the officialdom or business world, whether it is looking for someone or a matter of peace, as long as you find Qian Sanye and give him enough money, he can do it.

In less than a year, Qian Sanye was already doing well.

Now, Qian Sanye has a great influence on the ground in Nanjing, and even has a very good range in Jiangnan.

The Duke of Wei never expected that the person His Majesty was going to meet was actually Mr. Qian San.

Mr. Qian San walked in respectfully, and after seeing Zhu Youxiao, he fell to his knees on the ground.

Before Mr. Qian San said, Zhu Youxiao raised his hand and signaled him to stand up and said, "Now you don't need these outside. This is also your industry. It seems that your business is very big."

After hearing this, Mr. Qian, who had just stood up from the ground, almost knelt down again.

When Duke Wei saw this scene, he immediately understood that the famous figure Qian Sanye on the ground in Nanjing was clearly the person in the palace, and to put it bluntly, he was the person who was placed in Nanjing by the emperor.

This made Duke Wei's face look ugly.

On the ground of Nanjing, many things can be hidden, but many things cannot be hidden. The so-called deceiving superiors and concealing subordinates is what it means.

Qian Sanye must know a lot about the Duke of Wei’s Mansion. You must know that he is doing business in Nanjing. If anyone has the most informed news, then it is the person in front of him.

Not to mention that the Duke of Wei’s Mansion was found to be investigated by Mr. Qian, it was probably almost the same. In other words, the emperor must have known what this person knows.

The emperor called himself here today, and there was indeed nothing good, or it was a very bad thing.

"Brother back," Mr. Qian said hesitantly: "This has been registered, and the account book is checked every year, so there will be no omissions."

That's right, Mr. Qian is Chen Hong's man. He was also a scholar who went to Beijing to take the exam in his early years, but he failed the exam three times. Later, he lived a very miserable life in Beijing, so he was taken over by Chen Hong to do something to spread news.

This person has a brain and has a lot of ideas. He gathered more than a dozen or twenty people to do things for him. In less than a year, he got things done.

This person fell into Chen Hong's eyes and was promoted. More than a year later, he was sent to Nanjing to set up an intelligence network in Nanjing.

As for the intelligence business, he was in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the information provided by the Jinyiwei, so this person could find a lot of information in both officialdom and private.

As for the business of ordinary affairs, it is even less difficult for him.

In a short period of time, he not only gathered a lot of money, but also met many people. These people were all familiar with him on the surface, but they were held by him in private. Basically, they had to do whatever he said, otherwise those people would be doomed.

It’s just that his power was given by Zhu Youxiao, so he naturally had no confidence when facing Zhu Youxiao.

Or in the Ming Dynasty, no one has the confidence to face Zhu Youxiao.

If the emperor asks you to live, you will live; if the emperor asks you to die, you will die. No one has the strength to live.

People like them are nothing more than just the emperor's words. After all, they are all secret stakes of the Jinyiwei.

"Don't be nervous." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "You are doing well. I just asked casually, don't take it too seriously. Yesterday you reported that there was a meeting here today. Are their people here now?"

"Go back to Your Majesty, it's not here yet." Qian San said quickly: "But it should be almost there."

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "Then let's go and listen to what they are saying. By the way, can you hear them talking here?"

"Of course," Qian San said quickly: "I did things when I was renovating here. The walls between Tianzi No. 1 and Tianzi No. 2 are empty, and you can clearly hear what the other side says." "The walls between Tianzi No. 2 and Tianzi No. 3 are solid. When talking in Tianzi No. 2, Room 3 cannot hear it. So every time we arrange people, we all arrange people in single numbers. The double numbers are our own people, and we will not let them hear each other's conversations, and no one knows that we have done such tricks."

"In addition, in the room of the single room, we also made a mezzanine. People can hide in the mezzanine, listen to what they say, and even see what they are doing. The minister has arranged the people, and everything they talk about will be recorded."

Zhu Youxiao nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's best if this is the best."

Since Zhu Youxiao arrived in Nanjing, the entire Nanjing city can be said to be undercurrents.

Even when Zhu Youxiao did not come to Nanjing City, it was just that the news came, chaos began to break out.

It was only after Zhu Youxiao arrived in Nanjing that the place suddenly became stable, but it was just the surface.

Duke Wei was frightened by the side. He was very scared now, afraid that the people who were waiting for a while would have anything to do with their family.

If this has anything to do with their family, he will probably be done.

But the Duke of Wei didn't dare to ask. If he asked, wouldn't it just prove that he was guilty?

At this time, someone came to send a message outside.

After Qian San turned around, he said to Zhu Youxiao directly: "Your Majesty, those people are here. Someone brought them into Tianzi Room No. 1."

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said with appreciation: "It shows that you have put your heart into your mind over the years and have done well."
