Chapter 519 "Gentleman" Agreement

"Since that's the case, what are you waiting for? Are you not afraid that Fang Laoqi will run away?" Tan Zong smiled slightly and said calmly when he saw that inspector Zhao's mind had turned around.

"My lord reminds you that the young man will arrest people now, and this is arresting people." Hearing this, a big stone in Zhao Xun's heart finally fell to the ground, which shows that Tan Zong was not ready to pursue his rude offense, so he hurriedly stood up from the ground and said repeatedly.

As for Fang Laoqi, he didn't know the shocking changes that took place in Dongsheng Inn now. Even if he knew about them, he would never dare to escape. He could only surrender.

Because he was scared and exhausted, inspector Zhao staggered when he stood up. If the public servants on the side had not helped him, he would have sat on the ground.

Inspection Officer Zhao, who had walked away from the gate of hell, wiped the sweat from his forehead, respectfully arched at Tan Zong and led the person away in a hurry. It was not until this time that he realized that his clothes were all wet with sweat and were sticky to his body. Tan Zong's momentum just now made him breathless.

"Boss Li, if I remember correctly, Fang Laoqi had paid 700 taels of silver to buy Dongsheng Inn." Before Zhao Xun took two steps, Tan Zong's voice came from behind him, as if he was talking to Boss Li, and said lightly, "I really can't tell that he is really rich."

Inspection inspector Zhao keenly realized that Tan Zong had accentuated the pronunciation on the last word "money", and his figure stumbled slightly, and then he understood and accelerated his pace. If he was not wrong, Tan Zong was suggesting that Fang Laoqi would take out 700 taels of silver, that is, Fang Laoqi's backstage boss would take out 700 taels of silver. Otherwise, Tan Zong would have to hold the backstage boss responsible. After all, the dignified future son-in-law is not allowed to be bullied, and the other party must pay the price.

Facing what Tan Zong said, Boss Li could not touch her, so he had to smile at her. He could not afford to get involved in Tan Zong's affairs.

When inspector Zhao and others arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Shen San's men made way. Seeing this, the bald face showed a complicated look, which was shocked and confused, but more fear. He didn't know why Tan Zong let inspector Zhao go, and he didn't know how Tan Zong would treat him.

"I once said that they can't take me away." Tan Zong turned around and looked at the nervous bald head, and said with a smile. "Do you have something to do now?"

The bald man was stunned at first when he heard this, and then remembered the bet that Tan Zong had mentioned earlier. At that time, he thought Tan Zong was too arrogant, but now he seemed to be too stupid. He didn't realize the confidence that Tan Zong was speaking, otherwise he would not have fallen into such a passive situation.

"I know how to do it." The bald man nodded and said to Tan Zong, then lay on the ground, flipped his body, and rolled straight towards the gate of the courtyard.

"If someone comes to Dongsheng Inn to make trouble, then I will ask you." Seeing that the bald man was so tactful, Tan Zong gave up the idea of ​​repairing him and said loudly to him.

"Don't worry, as long as there is a young man, no one dares to come to Dongsheng Inn to cause trouble." The bald man stopped hearing this, answered Tan Zong solemnly, and then rolled to the gate of the courtyard. His subordinates followed in shame. Everyone knew that they had an awesome person today, so they were scared. They were all silent and did not dare to breathe.

What Tan Zong didn't expect was that because of today's little episode, Sanqiao accidentally found two subordinates, inspector Zhao and bald head, in the capital:

If Tan Zong had not stopped him in time, In order to escape the disaster, Inspection Officer Zhao almost betrayed Fang Laoqi's backstage boss in the Ministry of Justice in desperation, so he offended the backstage boss. He had no choice but to take advantage of Fang Laoqi's opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity when Fang Laoqi took out 700 taels of silver to compensate San Qiao, and pulled Tan Zong's banner to defend himself.

What Zhao Xunsen unexpectedly was that since he defected to Sanqiao, not only did Fang Laoqi's backstage boss not cause trouble for him, but he actually made a great success in his career and had a prosperous career, and inadvertently changed his destiny.

As for bald man, he had no choice but to surrender to Sanqiao. He was embarrassed in front of all the younger brothers, and offended the forces behind the thick man because he asked the thick man for 700 taels of silver to pay Sanqiao. He simply took the chicken feathers as a command arrow. With the words Tan Zong said that Dongsheng Inn had something to ask him, he turned into Sanqiao's subordinate.

Like Inspection Commissioner Zhao, the bald life also changed drastically due to this wise decision. With the sign of Tan Zong, he emerged and gradually became the boss of the underworld in the south of the capital and the famous number one figure in the underworld in the capital.

Tan Zong did not realize that his unintentional actions not only changed the lives of inspector Zhao and bald head, making them Sanqiao's right-hand man, but also caused an unexpected deviation in Sanqiao's life trajectory.

After inspector Zhao and bald head left, Boss Li immediately signed an agreement with Tan Zong to sell inns. After witnessing the previous scene, he certainly knew what to do.

Although Boss Li sold the inn, he had to stay in Beijing for a while because he had to deal with his son's affairs. He originally wanted to find another place to live, but he stayed at Sanqiao's request and taught Sanqiao to run the inn while busy with his son's affairs.

Dongsheng Inn is the hard work of Boss Li’s ancestors. Sanqiao knew that Boss Li had feelings for it, so he promised to take away the inn’s sign when Boss Li returned to his hometown, because Sanqiao started to run his own inn again, and the inn’s sign had to be replaced.

"Brother Tan, thank you today." On the way home, San, who was sitting in the carriage, said to Tan Zong with a smile. Not only did Tan Zong buy her Dongsheng Inn and clear the trouble, but he also got her 1,400 taels of silver. With this money, she could do something she wanted to do.

"I have invested in the inn. You have to manage it well, so don't let me lose all my money at that time." Tan Zong smiled slightly when he heard this and said to Sanqiao.

"Brother Tan, don't worry, my sister will definitely run the inn well and will not disappoint my brother." San Qiao laughed. She was confident that she would run the inn well, otherwise she would not have let Tan Zong buy it.

"If you encounter any difficult things in the future, go to Prince An's mansion to find Prince An, and he will help you." Tan Zong remembered something and said to Sanqiao with a smile. He knew that he was likely to leave the capital after the Mid-Autumn Festival. If he was not here, then Prince An would be an excellent protector of Sanqiao. Even if Zhao Yunan was sent by Emperor Qingping to Wutai Mountain to worship Buddha for a year, Princess An would be there.

"Brother Tan is leaving?" Sanqiao was slightly stunned when she heard this and said in surprise. If it weren't for Tan Zong's mention, she would have almost forgotten that Tan Zong's official position was Jiangnan guerrilla in the Supervision Office. After completing the affairs in the capital, she would have returned to Jiangnan.

"It's probably going to be soon." Tan Zong nodded with a smile. He didn't know much about the specific incident. He had to see what Emperor Ping meant.

"When will I come to Beijing again?" Sanqiao couldn't help but feel a little sad in her eyes, and she asked with a smile, "If the younger sister sold the inn and left with money, wouldn't the elder brother still not know?"

"If I had not had the imperial order and the official's order, I could not leave Jiangnan." Tan Zong laughed and shrugged at Sanqiao, "Anyway, I'll hand over the inn to you. This inn is yours. Whether it's sold or continued to operate in the future, as long as you like, you will do it."

Upon hearing this, Sanqiao couldn't help but giggle, laughing very happily. She had never been so happy since she grew up, because Tan Zong not only gave her trust, but also gave her the freedom to control the inn at will, which shows that Tan Zong has regarded her as his own person, and even had some indulgence in it.

The next night, Tan Zong took Qiao Yu and the two of them disguised themselves and came to an ordinary house on the beach of Shicha.

"Sir." Situ Liangtian was already waiting in the house. When he saw Tan Zong coming, he hurriedly went out of the room and bowed to Tan Zong.

Tan Zongxiang Situ Liangtian nodded slightly, walked into the room, sat on the chair and drank tea leisurely, waiting for the arrival of the person who came to the appointment. He wanted to know who the other party would send.

Qiao Yu sat in the seat behind Tan Zong, while Situ Liangtian sat in the first place of Tan Zong. After that, Situ Liangtian negotiated with the other party, and Tan Zong was just coming to fight, so he was not interested in bargaining with the other party.

Not long after, the door opened and the three of them walked in. Seeing this, Tan Zong put down the teacup in his hand and stood up. To his surprise, the leader among the people was his old acquaintance, Lian En, one of the four great princes in the capital, the grandson of the Zuo Censor Lian Qingyun.

"Master Tan." After seeing Tan Zong, Lian En bowed to him and said with a smile.

"Young Master Lian." Tan Zong smiled slightly and bowed to Lian En. It seemed that the other party didn't want him to be too lonely, so he asked Lian En to come and talk to him.

Afterwards, Tan Zong, Lian En and others sat down on both sides of the table, and the negotiations officially began.

Among the people brought by Lian En, one was his guard, a strong man in his thirties, and the other was a middle-aged man with a national-shaped face.

The strong man looked at Qiao Yu as soon as he entered the door, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. He found that the woman dressed as a man was actually above him, and a breath that made him uneasy was everywhere.

Like Situ Liangtian, the middle-aged man with a national face was the protagonist of the negotiation. He started a war of words with Situ Liangtian. The two of them fought back and forth, and began to fight fiercely for their respective interests. Situ Liangtian not only wanted the positions of the four incense masters of Zhongyi Hall, but also had to install people at other halls of the Cao Gang, and control the entire Cao Gang.

Faced with Situ Liangtian's request, the middle-aged man with a national font face could not refuse, nor could he refuse, because the boss behind him knew who Situ Liangtian represented, so he could only compete with Situ Liangtian for those positions.

"Brother Lian, go out for some breath." Tan Zong stayed in the room for a while and felt really bored and bored. The censor stood up and said to Lian En, who was sitting opposite him drinking tea. Anyway, Situ Liangtian and the middle-aged man with a national face would tell the two after they agreed on the conditions, and they would make the final confirmation.

"I'm just thinking about it." Lian En smiled at Tan Zong and stood up and walked out of the room with Tan Zong. Qiao Yu and the strong man followed behind the two without hesitation.

"If I'm not mistaken, you went to Jiangnan with Niu Tieqiang last time, probably because of the Cao Gang." Tan Zong and Lian En walked and chatted in the yard. He suddenly remembered something and asked with a smile.

"The Jiangnan incident made the capital uneasy. I originally planned to take advantage of the opportunity to go to Jiangnan with Tieqiang to instruct the Cao Gang to be careful of the situation. I didn't expect to be targeted by the people of Bishijie. If I hadn't just run to Brother Tan's mansion, I would have been unable to return to the capital." Lian En laughed immediately when he heard this, and could not help but see the image of Shi Shi. He had a deep impression of Shi Shi and was full of favor. Shi Shi had a unique temperament and was the first girl who made him moved.

Unfortunately, Lian En did not have the opportunity to express his feelings to Shi Shi, because he saw that Shi Shi liked Tan Zong very much, and Tan Zong also attached great importance to Shi Shi, so he could only bury this feeling in his heart.

"Who did you find out who is behind Bi Shijie?" Tan Zong asked calmly when he saw that he guessed correctly.

"There are not many people who are capable of making arrangements in Jiangnan, but only those in the capital." Lian En said lightly when he heard this, as if he didn't care.

Tan Zong knew that Lian En didn't want to talk about this issue, so he smiled slightly, changed the topic and continued to chat. From Lian En's attitude, he felt that the people behind Lian En had not found the real person behind the scenes. After all, no one could believe that this matter was planned by two young and low-key princes.

Just as Tan Zong and Lian En were chatting and laughing in the yard, Situ Liangtian and the middle-aged man with a rogue face walked out of the room. After fierce bargaining, the two had reached an agreement that satisfies both parties.

Tan Zong and Lian En took over the agreement, read the content above and put it away, and after a few greetings, they left the residence.

Although there was no signing and sealing in the agreement, it was obvious that both parties would tacitly follow the contents above in the future, because no matter how brave the people behind En were, they would not dare to play any tricks with Emperor Qingping, otherwise they would have been seeking death.

After finishing the Cao Gang's affairs, Tan Zong would not have much to do in the capital. In addition to his promise to Zhao Yuzhao to help him develop black gunpowder, he was waiting for the court to reward those who had made contributions in the case of Bishijie in Jiangnan and the final determination of his killing Bishijie.
