Chapter 420: Sheepskin Map
Chen Tong raised her eyes, with a smile in her eyes. Dapin was startled and couldn't help but take a step back. Realizing that she was losing her composure, she quickly sturdy her head and squeezed out a smile.
"Bigai, you said that the price of this map is 5,000 taels, can it be sold?"
Dapeng felt that the look of Miss Chen looking at him was meaningful, so she had to laugh: "Miss Chen, do you really think this map is worth 5,000 taels?"
Chen Tong blinked and said, "Why don't you give me a try?"
Da Ping Zheng pointed out: "That's ten thousand taels."
After saying that, he took the map, turned around and walked out with great strides.
When he went out, he happened to run into the Jiang Po Zi who was coming in. Jiang Po Zi looked at his departure back and said strangely: "What's wrong with Dabing?"
Chen Tong smiled and said, "He is going to sell the map."
"Map? What map?" Mrs. Jiang didn't understand.
"The map of the imperial prison." Chen Tong said.
"Zhuo Zhu?" Mrs. Jiang was stunned for a moment, and finally reacted and asked, "Why should I sell it? Is it fake?"
Chen Tong shook his head: "I have never been to the imperial prison, and I can't tell whether it is true or false, but I think if someone is willing to buy it for 5,000 taels, I would rather sell it."
Of course, it would be even better if it could be sold for 10,000 taels.
As one of the owners of several shops, Chen Tong did not work hard but only paid dividends. Not only that, he also brought out Master Fangfei from Baihuitang this time... Well, the money earned by selling maps has to be used to subsidize the shops, so he can make more money.
Mrs. Jiang was confused and asked, "Will anyone really buy it for 5,000 taels?"
Chen Tong thought for a while and said, "Will there be."
Chen Tong really guessed it. Two days later, the map was actually sold, but it was not sold for 5,000 taels or 10,000 taels, but 8,000 taels.
In addition to the one thousand six hundred taels paid by the middleman, there are still five thousand four hundred taels left, which is similar to the initial estimate.
Da Ping handed the silver notes to Chen Tong and said, "The one who came to buy the map was a gang in the capital, named Ji Laoliu. His family lives in Erhutong, Dongjiao, but he took the map and did not go back. Instead, he walked around the street twice and went to Qingqingfang in Yangliu Hutong. The girl Yuqing of Qingqingfang can now rank among the top three in the capital, so Qingqingfang has also risen. It is definitely not something that Ji Laoliu can afford."
Chen Tong asked, "Did you let Han Wuji stare there?"
In the past few days, Han Wuji happened to be in Yangliu Hutong, but he was staring at Hongniang's yard. Da Ping followed Ji Laoliu quietly. Seeing him entering Yangliu Hutong, he found Han Wuji and asked him to keep an eye on Qingqingfang. He brought the silver notes back to see Chen Tong.
Dabing nodded and said, "It's Han Wuji who is staring at me. I'll go back and change it with him now."
Chen Tong said, "Don't let him stare. Ji Laoliu is just a small character who runs errands. As for the person he went to Qingqingfang, you don't know which one he was. Even if you walk past you, you don't know that he is the one who bought the map."
Dapin thought about it, so he had to say, "But this line broke."
Chen Tong smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, this line is useless."
Da Ping looked disappointed. On the way back, he still praised Miss Chen for being smart. He might catch a big fish with a map that he didn't know whether it was true or false.
No one believes that it is true in the map of fifty taels, but if the price is 10,000 taels, it will become true.
Chen Tong saw his disappointment and said, "Since that man spent so much money to buy the map, he would definitely take action. As long as we wait outside, we can find them."
That was the map of Zhaozhu. Chen Tong only had a rough look at the internal route and layout, but the external situation was remembered in his heart.
In the capital, all the yamen are on the surface. Even if the people have never entered, they know where the door of the yamen is heading.
Only the imperial prison was not known to most officials.
The more legendary it is, the more terrifying it makes people talk about it.
The imperial prison is in this place.
The sheepskin map marked the location of the imperial prison. Chen Tong felt that even if the map was fake, the surface location of the imperial prison could not be fake.
At the same time, in the Anchang Marquis' Mansion, Li Guanzhong, the commander of the Feiyu Guard, was flipping through the military books left by his father in the capital.
When the old Marquis of Anchang, Li Yongji, left Beijing, almost all the military books in the mansion, leaving only this one.
This book was left for Li Guanzhong, so that he could see more when he was fine, and the court was also a battlefield.
At this time, a personal follower came in outside and said, "Marty, that map..."
Li Guanzhongping left the people serving around him, lowered his voice and asked, "Has the map been sold?"
The intimate was like constipation for many days and said hesitantly: "Actually, the map was sold two days ago, and it sold fifty taels. The one who bought the map was a handsome guy. The little guy was watching the guy. But after walking two streets, the guy disappeared. When the guy appeared again, he actually returned to the place where he bought the map. He changed his hand and asked the person who sold him to find another buyer. He offered to 10,000 taels."
"What did you say?" Li Guanzhong, who had always been calm, couldn't help but raise his voice.
The follower looked helpless and said, "It's true. He really started the price from fifty taels to ten thousand taels."
"What happened later? Did anyone buy it?" Li Guanzhong suppressed his anger.
Where did the brat come from? He actually disrupted the situation in the middle.
"Yes, yes, someone bought the map today. The one who came was a gang named Ji Laoliu. After bargaining, he bought the map for 8,000 taels." said in person.
"Yi Gang? Where did he go? Is anyone staring at him?" Li Guanzhong asked in a deep voice.
Their followers hurriedly said, "Ji Laoliu took the map, walked around the street twice, and then went to Qingqingfang in Yangliu Hutong. The young man had already made people pretend to be Xunfang's guest and entered Qingqingfang to stare. However, the news sent back by the people who followed him seemed to be another group of people staring at Ji Laoliu."
"One group of people? Let someone go and investigate." Li Guanzhong said.
The follower left in person. As soon as he walked to the door, Li Guanzhong's voice came from behind: "Don't worry about this matter, continue to stare at the person who is in contact with Ji Laoliu."
After following him, Li Guanzhong called another person to follow him and said, "Let Gao Chi come to see me."
Gao Chi, currently serves as Feiyuwei Baihu.
Gao Chi's grandfather was under the command of Li Yongji, the old Marquis of Anchang. After his grandfather passed away, more than a dozen descendants of the Gao family made great efforts to compete for the attack. Li Guanzhong used some tricks. The attack of hundreds of households fell to Gao Chi. Li Guanzhong transferred him from the army to Feiyugu. In a blink of an eye, a few years have passed, and Gao Chi has grown from a young boy to Li Guanzhong's right-hand man.
