"The house is old and in disrepair, and there's nothing left inside or out. Plus, the yard is overgrown with weeds, so the only thing left that's worth anything is the land."

"The other party offered one thousand taels of silver. For my sake, I should be able to get rid of two hundred taels, which means eight hundred taels of silver. Eunuch Zhang, do you think it's appropriate?" Han Qi said calmly.

After hearing this, Zhang Wei smiled and said, "The price is right, so let's make a deal. If nothing unexpected happens, we'll buy this yard."

Han Qi nodded and changed the subject, saying, "Of course, no problem. I'll do this for you after I've taken care of my brother's affairs."

The two quickly reached a deal, which was a reward for Zhang Wei.

Han Qi then shifted the topic to his brother's case. To put it bluntly, he said, "As long as you get the job done for me, I'll give you the house." As for the idea of ​​providing for his retirement, no one believed it.

Zhang Wei couldn't afford to retire in Jiangnan, as these people would eat his bones and scraps. He had painstakingly accumulated this little fortune over the years, and if it fell into their hands, what good would it do?

Now that I'm powerful, they're fawning over me. But when I step down, I'll have nothing left, just an old eunuch. At that time, all this money will bring me trouble.

I'll sell this yard as soon as I get it, and I'll make money from it.

Zhang Wei said, "Although your brother's matter is somewhat difficult to handle, difficult doesn't mean impossible. The key question is what to do? You need to think carefully about it."

After hearing this, Han Qi breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Then please ask your father-in-law to help me think of a solution. Yes, I forgot to mention that the family selling the yard also has two shops by the West Lake and wants to sell them as well."

"You need an income to support yourself in your old age. You can't just live off your savings. If Eunuch Zhang is interested, I'll sell you these two shops. You don't have to bother with one thing."

"How much?" Zhang Wei asked seriously again.

"This one is a bit more expensive, five thousand taels of silver." Han Qi said directly.

The two shops by the West Lake were selling for 5,000 taels of silver. This price was impossible. According to normal rules, it should be ten times that, or 50,000 taels. These two shops were worth at least 50,000 taels of silver, or even more.

Zhang Wei nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, I want these two shops too."

"Let's get down to business first. Your brother's matter must be taken care of. With our friendship, it's impossible not to do it."

"How about this, I'll go get some information first. I met this Mr. Xu when I was in the capital. Although we're not familiar with each other, we can still talk to each other."

"Let's test the waters first and find out what's going on, then we can think of a solution."

Han Qi nodded and said with a smile, "Then I'll leave everything to you, father-in-law."

Originally, Han Qi wanted Zhang Wei to do this. If he could be used in the future, he would definitely do his best. Otherwise, it would not be worth it for him to give him so many benefits.

"There's no time to lose. I'll go now." Zhang Wei stood up and said.

Two young eunuchs hurriedly came up to support Zhang Wei, and the group walked out.

The carriage outside is ready.

After Zhang Wei boarded the carriage, he said, "Young Master Han, you should go back and wait for news from us. Once we have any news, we'll send someone to tell you immediately. We won't delay anything."

Han Qi nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble you, eunuch. There's one more thing I'd like you to do. I hope you can take the trouble to see where this Lord Mao Guangqi is now. I can't find him now."

"Let's ask him after we get to the Imperial Guard." Zhang Wei said with a smile, "Yangzhou City is so small, where else can he go?"

After saying that, Zhang Wei got into the carriage and ordered, "Let's go!"

What is Mao Qiangguang doing?

He was playing chess with Xu Xianchun.

Mao Qiangguang's face looked very ugly at this time, but he had to put on a bright smile, but this smile looked ugly no matter how you looked at it.

Xu Xianchun didn't care either. He held a chess piece in his hand and thought with his head down.

Since coming here, Xu Xianchun has acted like a master, asking Mao Qiangguang to accompany him every day, looking like he is addicted to chess.

Mao Qiangguang couldn't leave even if he wanted to.
