In the afternoon, in a temple and a guest room in Jiankang City, Hu Wei was making a deal with a middle-aged man.

The goods traded are messages, and the price of each message depends on the importance.

"The Princess of Xiangdong, now she has a new relationship."

The man chuckled softly and fiddled with a string of rosary: ​​"This person is better than a woman, and he looks more beautiful than many young ladies, and he is not as powerful as a young woman. He is really a fire."

This news is not worth it because the Princess of Xiangdong had a good relationship before, and in Jiankang City, there are many older ladies who have good relationships.

But the news is very valuable because the young man who is "beautiful than a woman" has a bit of interesting background.

If someone is not interested in such a mess, the news is not worth much. If you want to know its "foundation", the news is worth a lot of money.

"Twenty stakes." Hu Wei offered a price, at this price, he could buy a transportation horse. The middle-aged man shook his head: "Twenty stakes."

"Twenty-one, what if it's just... a few people want to make some money?" Hu Wei smiled, "After all, who dares to provoke the King of Xiangdong?"

"Twenty-three guan, my news is unusual. The whole thing is interesting and worth the price."

"Okay." Hu Wei nodded, and the middle-aged man put down the rosary and wrote it on a note with a charcoal pen. After writing, he pushed the note in front of Hu Wei.

In theory, transactions require one hand to pay and the other hand to deliver the goods, but the buyer and seller are old acquaintances and have done many transactions and know each other well, so they can "go first and then money."

Hu Wei read the contents of the note, his eyes condensed, then nodded and carefully put the note together: "A total of 100 coins, is it money or porcelain?"

"The old rules are of course porcelain." The middle-aged man smiled, and Hu Wei raised his hand and brived the other party: "The old rules."

After the transaction ended, the middle-aged man left first. Hu Wei, who had bought a few messages, was not in a hurry to leave because the two of them went out one after another, were too conspicuous.

There was a follower guarding outside the room, not afraid of someone breaking in suddenly, Hu Wei took out the note again, looked at it, and fell into deep thought.

As the seller said, the news is interesting.

There are many wealthy families in Jiankang City, while many noble ladies are old and have less favors, and are lonely and always meet "concerned people".

Mrs. Liu met him, a "content person" and instructed him to approach Mrs. Liu's behind-the-scenes commander, "Yan Langjun", with the target of the then Linhe King Xiao Zhengde.

Now, the Princess of Xiangdong has a new relationship, but this matter is very secret. It is not like the previous relationships, but the matter is heard in the ears of the King of Xiangdong.

The Princess of Xiangdong and the Prince of Xiangdong are like passers-by. The Princess of Xiangdong even used half-face makeup to mock the one-eyed Prince of Xiangdong, so this pair of resentful couples have been accused of decades.

The Princess of Xiangdong kept looking for new love, probably deliberately stimulating the Prince of Xiangdong. However, because of the princess' family background and the concern that the family scandal should not be made public, the Prince of Xiangdong chose to turn a blind eye.

It is precisely because of the princess' family background that the princess dared not openly affair with others and could only act secretly.

After all, if things get big, they will lose face.

Therefore, although the Princess Xiangdong had an affair with someone before, it was not a secret secret, but there was no way to deal with it, only rumors.

But this time, the young new love came from a bit subtle, and it was more like someone who specialized in this business to relieve the loneliness of the Princess of Xiangdong and earn some benefits.

Just like many families offer their daughters and become concubines for wealthy families.

However, the Princess of Xiangdong and Xiangdong King have been intimate for many years, and the royal palace industry has been closely watched by the King of Xiangdong King. She can't take any extra benefits at hand, and it is impossible for her to take benefits from her parents' home to reward the "concernful people".

So these people may have other plans - what is the picture? If you are interested, spend money to buy news.

If you are not interested, this news is not worth it.

In this world, some people like women, some people like men, and those who like men are not necessarily women.

Therefore, some people do something that specializes in training "book children", just like cultivating a young lady who is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, to provide wealthy families with great gifts in exchange for a considerable "thank you gift".

The beautiful and talented "books" are also popular with lonely ladies, so many people in Jiankang City do this.

The person who trains "book boys" is also called "class masters". The middle-aged man just now also did this activity, so he can know such news.

This "book boy" who is close to the Princess of Xiangdong, his "class master" is also considered an "old face" in the industry, rather than an outsider who suddenly appears.

The Princess of Xiangdong herself has no money to make. A "class master" posted a carefully trained "book boy" for nothing, which may also arouse the anger of the King of Xiangdong, which is considered a loss-making business.

If the other party does this, he must have a plan.

Making money? Killing life?

A "class master" who has been in a flesh-and-skin business for many years will let the trained "book boy" "kill his life"?

It is easy to be found out after the incident. No "class master" will do such a thing as losing his job or losing his head.

Hu Wei felt it was necessary to pay attention to this matter, and perhaps new discoveries might not be possible.

He worked for Xinpinggong, not only running the industry, but also inquired about news, but he had no connections, so he could only find a way to inquire.

There are many "capable people" in Jiankang City, and they are well-informed. Hu Wei bought news from these people, then sorted it out and recorded it, and reported it to Xinping Gong that might be useful.

These news includes official positions, personnel adjustments, and various destructions from various schools. They may not be true. They may be heard of, and may also be spread and changed.

Therefore, Hu Wei has to judge how much the message is worth, and whether the message is true or false, he has to judge by himself, or use other messages as circumstance.

Helping Mr. Xinping to inquire about various news in Jiankang City, this job is not risky, but it is very trivial, very troublesome, and easily attracts doubts:

The expenses for buying news can be reported at the Public Administration, but the amount reported cannot be verified.

For example, he spent 1,000 yuan to buy a message and reported the account to the Duke's Office, saying that it cost 3,000 yuan. How did the Duke's Office confirm how much it cost?

Or, he spent a thousand documents to buy a message and reported the account truthfully to the Duke's Mansion. As a result, Duke Xinping felt that the news was not worth a thousand documents, only worth five hundred documents, so he would suspect that he had false reports.

Fortunately, Mr. Xinping trusted him very much, and there was no limit on the amount of money he even made to allocate a lot of funds every month, so he didn't need to pay out of his own pocket to buy news.

The more trust Xinping Gong is, the more Hu Wei feels that he has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

Hu Wei contacted some well-informed people, and for various reasons, he could not hide his identity. Then, the news he bought might have been deliberately letting him know.

In other words, he is the open sight of Duke Xinping. If someone wants to mislead Duke Xinping, he will first mislead his sight and hear, deliberately spreading some real and false news.

Therefore, Hu Wei also had to contact other well-informed people and organize people to inquire around to increase the source of the news and use mutual verification between the messages to verify the accuracy of the news as much as possible.

He knew that Xinping Gong must have other eyes and ears in secret and was doing Jiankang, but since Xinping Gong trusted him and entrusted him with important tasks, he had to do this well.

After a while, Hu Wei left the guest room and walked in the corridor, but saw a group of people in front of him walking towards a yard under the guidance of monks.

The group of people were all women, and it seemed like a group of maids surrounded by a noble lady.

It seems that a female family member came to the Buddhist temple to worship Buddha and listened to the monk's lecture.

This is a very normal behavior, but there are also noble ladies taking this opportunity to have an affair with their lover. As for the person in front of them, since there are many maids accompanying him, I think he is acting upright.

Hu Wei thought about the time when Mrs. Liu went to the temple to have a private meeting with him, but the number of entourage members was as small as possible.

He walked to the front yard and saw the pilgrims scattering incense in the temple, and couldn't help but stop and watch.

Now winter is coming soon, and the weather is getting cooler, and all Buddhist temples in Jiankang City are full of incense and steaming.

Many poor people can't even get enough winter clothes for their family, so they must raise money to buy incense to burn in the temple to show their piety.

Hu Wei looked at the scene in front of him and felt sighing: Can burn incense and worship Buddha be enough to have enough food and clothing?

But what else can I do besides coming here to burn incense and worship Buddha and make wishes?

He felt that Xin Pinggong's method was good.

Which Buddhist temple built in the old site of Dongye Canteen or Dongye Canteen can give the people the opportunity to support their families?

Of course it is the previous one.
