Li Jinglong was furious now. He regarded people as a fool. Could it be that my grandfather is so stupid and doesn't even understand such common sense? He was about to have an attack, but Hao Fenglou said, "Don't you believe me?"

It would be so stupid if you believe it. Li Jinglong sneered: "Do you think I will believe it?"

Hao Fenglou smiled: "Then why not make a bet."

Bet... This is quite a taste for Li Jinglong. Anyone who likes to have fun is gamble. Li Jinglong said: "How to bet?"

Hao Fenglou said: "It is limited to one month, and students will earn 10,000 taels of silver first."

Li Jinglong was stunned. He suddenly realized that he was not stupid, as if he was the fool in front of him.

Hao Fenglou said: "But before this, the grandfather must borrow 500 taels of silver to me first. If I win, the five hundred taels of silver will belong to the students, but if I lose, the grandfather will let the grandfather deal with it."

Li Jinglong had to start re-examining Hao Fenglou. He had to say that this was a loss-making deal, because the other party was just making a fortune. This guy had nothing. If he won, he would make money. If he lost, he would let him deal with it. Could it be that he would take this guy, grab it, peel it, fry it, and get it, and what benefits would he get?

However... Li Jinglong knew that this was a loss-making business, but the other party bet on his life really made him a little curious. He thought in his heart that the person in front of him was not a lunatic, so he must have some great means. He thought about his performance just now, and seeing how he is so confident now, Li Jinglong really wants to know why this guy wants to have this confidence to make this bet.

Of course, Hao Fenglou's expression of whether you dare or not made Li Jinglong have to bite the bullet and walk all the way to the dark. Li Jinglong's pitiful self-esteem was provoked. If he did not agree, it would be like showing weakness.

Without a moment of contemplation, Li Jinglong responded: "Okay, I will bet with you."

Seeing Li Jinglong agreeing, Hao Fenglou stood up. He couldn't say too much to Li Jinglong. He had to maintain a certain sense of mystery. This is human nature. It is like gaining a woman's heart. It must not be too hot. Just click it and leave some room for imagination for the other party, which can often achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Hao Fenglou complained in his heart. The methods taught by the master are now dealing with scum like Li Jinglong. God knows how the master will think about it in the spirit of heaven.

Hao Fenglou said goodbye and left, Li Jinglong narrowed his eyes, as if he was still thinking about something.

This person is too strange, but I have to say that this person left Li Jinglong a lot of suspense. Li Jinglong couldn't help but murmur: "This person is interesting, just..." After pondering for a while, Li Jinglong seemed to be thinking about something, and added: "What's the solution for him?"

Then, Li Jinglong found that this guy didn't leave his stay address. Li Jinglong couldn't help but think: Did he expect that my grandfather would send someone to find out where he stayed, or was he negligent for a moment.

Li Jinglong couldn't figure out his pitiful IQ. Fortunately, the stupid guy had a stupid trick. He said lightly: "Come."

A follower hurried in and bowed and said, "What are the instructions of the prince?"

Li Jinglong said lightly: "Send someone to stare at this person and check where he lives. Also, send 500 taels of silver to you tomorrow morning. No matter what he does in the future, he will keep an eye on him. Don't let him take my grandfather's silver and run away."

Suihu nodded and hurried away.

It was already midnight when he returned to the inn. Ling Xue was full of doubts: "What did you say to Li Jinglong? What did he say?"

Hao Fenglou did not hide it from it and told all the causes and consequences.

Ling Xue frowned: "Doing a business, you earn ten thousand taels of silver in a month? You..."

Hao Fenglou sighed: "This is also impossible. Although people like Li Jinglong are changing their minds, the more they want to gain his trust, they must show their own means. Only by admiring him can we convince him. Secondly, if you want to be kind to such a person, just rely on a few good words. Only when you have interests in each other, will he be willing to talk to you and have a sense of trust in you. I think about it over and over again. With his identity and other means are not enough to attract him. This person is greedy, and with our conditions, he can only rely on money."

Ling Xue said: "But it's a transaction of 10,000 taels of silver per month, this..."

Hao Fenglou smiled: "I will find a way."

There was nothing to say that night, and the two went back to their rooms to sleep. Early the next morning, someone came to take a photo of Hao Fenglou's door, but the waiter said: "There are officials from Yingtian Mansion below. If you ask outside guests, you must go downstairs for investigation."

Hao Fenglou knew that the news that Ling Xue had released had been effective, so he quickly got dressed, left the door, and went downstairs. Sure enough, a team of officials who had been waiting for a long time, and was questioning a merchant at this time.

In fact, the investigation and detailed work was originally managed by the Five Cities Military Commanders. In addition, there were many secret spies from the court. Although the Jinyiwei was temporarily removed, some dignitaries still secretly provided funding. After all, some things need to be investigated and dealt with.

However, rumors were prevalent, and there were everywhere saying that the Yan army had been involved in the city. The court officials who originally wanted to investigate secretly could not sit still and had to show off and change secret investigations to open visits. This is a matter of attitude. If the officials of Yingtian Prefecture remain indifferent to the rumors outside, they would not be able to bear it if something really happened in the future.

The Ming visit is actually beneficial to Hao Fenglou and Ling Xue. Instead of letting the thieves be mindful, it is better to let them check it out once. As long as they can eliminate their vigilance, it will be beneficial to Hao Fenglou.

A commissioner stepped forward and asked Hao Fenglou a few words. Hao Fenglou answered one by one. When the other saw Hao Fenglou's accent, Hao Fenglou had already responded, and the world was perfect, and his suspicion had gone away. The commissioner said again: "It is said that you are two people, and the other is a woman, right?"

Hao Fenglou nodded.

The official said, "Why don't you let her come down to meet?"

"It's inconvenient to meet each other." Hao Fenglou replied honestly. Although it was the early Ming Dynasty, the woman would not stay in her door for the rest of her life, but the defense between men and women is very important.

The messenger smiled faintly and said, "Well, we should meet you. The superiors ordered a strict investigation, and we are also on orders to act."

Although he said this, he stood firm. Hao Fenglou understood that it was fake to disturb the female family, and it was true to take the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

As he was talking, someone came in and said, "Who is the thief?"

Hao Fenglou smiled slightly and said, "I am."

This man was wearing a green hat and saw that he was a servant from a mansion. He smiled and saluted Hao Fenglou, saying, "My father is here to send money, so please accept it with a smile."

The man in the green hat said while taking out a stack of silver notes.

In the early Ming Dynasty, the court issued silver notes, and even many of the imperial court's official salaries were paid. Unfortunately, this thing was not worthwhile. After receiving the silver notes, the princes and nobles and officials wanted to cry without tears. The first thing they did was to exchange the silver notes for food. However, Li Jinglong was quite kind and did not give the silver notes seriously, but gave it a full 1,100 taels. According to the current market price, it was indeed equivalent to the purchasing power of 500 taels of silver.

Hao Fenglou answered and smiled slightly: "Say hello to Duke Cao on my behalf, and tell him that the money has been received. A month later, I will see the real seal."

The servant nodded and went quickly.

Hao Fenglou immediately said to the official: "Since you are impartial and strict investigation..."

"No, no, no..." The officials looked at each other. Those who could give out such a silver note must be nobles. The family was so polite, which shows that they must have been trained by the wealthy family. In addition, they talked about the word "master" many times in the conversation, which shows that the person who came to give the money to Hao Fenglou was a certain prince. Not to mention them, even the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture might not be provoked. Several officials wanted to squeeze out some silver from Hao Fenglou, but this idea disappeared immediately. Some people laughed and said, "Young Master, you have offended me, so the young ones say goodbye."

After a while, a man almost ran out of the door. Everyone gathered outside to discuss: "This person must be an important person or a VIP, and he will not be disturbed again in the future, so he will not be able to afford to be punished."
