After stepping and pressing for half an hour, Hong Yao finally fell on the bed.
And the smell in this house is getting worse.
Fang Zheng put on his clothes, stretched his muscles and said, "Okay, you two go back to your room and rest."
The two women suddenly felt as if they had been pardoned. They staggered to their feet and slowly walked out of the room.
Fang Zheng glanced at Zhou Dahai, who was huddled in the corner, with disdain and shook his head helplessly.
This house is uninhabitable. Let's move to another one tomorrow.
Then a man walked out of the house leisurely with his hands behind his back.
When they got outside the house, Fang Zheng gestured to the sky and Bai Rui jumped out from somewhere.
"Master, what's the matter?"
"Go, call everyone else and have a meeting in the painting house."
After saying that, a man rode his horse and rushed to the Chenghu pleasure boat.
The pleasure boat usually stays at the shore and only goes to the center of the lake when there is something to discuss.
When they entered the boat, many people were there. When they saw Fang Zhengyi, they immediately greeted him.
Xie Xian stepped forward and said, "Master, why are you here?"
"Well, I have something to tell you. Ask everyone on the ship to come here. Those who are late will not be waiting. You can tell them after the meeting."
Xie Xian nodded in agreement.
Soon everyone on the boat gathered.
Probably only about half of them were there. When Fang Zheng saw that most people had arrived, he stood up and said, "I'm here today to inform everyone."
"I have roughly found out the situation in Jianjiang Prefecture. When the time comes, I will send someone to notify you to go to the government office to arrest him!"
"There are three rice shops in Sifang, Tongda and Guanglai. Do you know which one in the city they belong to?"
Xie Xian opened his notebook, took a look and said, "These three rice shops are owned by the Sun and Wang families, two local wealthy families."
"Master, the tunnel has reached their granary. Do we need to transport the grain out now?"
Fang Zhengyi smiled slightly: "Luck! Go ahead, this is all the people's hard-earned money, don't be polite."
"If these people were to steal the food, wouldn't that mean we would lose a lot of food for nothing?"
"But you guys try to be gentle. Once things are settled, we'll raid their house!"
Xie Xian thought about it and said hesitantly: "Master, if we really take people to the government office to arrest someone, then the guard post..."
Fang Zhengyi was silent for a while and said, "Yes, the guard post is a problem. If we rush in rashly, we might be mistaken for rebels and get beaten up."
"So, wait until I confirm the relationship between the general and the prefect before taking action."
"You should prepare in advance."
"What's going on here recently?"
Xie Xian flipped through the notebook again: "Yes, something went wrong with Old Shen. Now there are only two sects left in the city. In addition to ours, there is another one called Iron Clothes Sect."
"The leader is called Chen Dasheng. They have a lot of people. Old Shen said there are probably 8,000 of them, and they are still recruiting people."
"The friction has been intense recently, and Old Shen dare not disband rashly. We are waiting for your decision, Master."
Fang Zheng curled his lips and said, "Iron Clothes Sect? What a ridiculous name. Can't we just ask Zhang Biao to kill that Chen Dasheng?"
Xie Xian smiled awkwardly: "Master, Xiao Tao and you are not here, so no one can order him around..."
Fang Zhengyi said impatiently: "Why not just send Zhou Tie? Is it so troublesome to send a charlatan?"
"Zhou Tie was beaten by Zhang Biao last time and couldn't get out of bed."
"............"
Seeing Fang Zhengyi remained silent, Xie Xian continued, "Master, that Chen Dasheng is not an ordinary charlatan. The two sides have clashed several times. Chen Dasheng is a master of horizontal training. He is invulnerable to swords and spears. He can beat ten people at once."
"And... I think something is fishy. The two sides have been at peace until recently, but the friction has been increasing recently."
"The people on Shen Zhaoxuan's side have always been supported by the government with food. I'm afraid Chen Dasheng's side..."
Fang Zhengyi immediately became alert and thought for a moment: "Okay, I know about this matter. Tell Shen Zhaoxuan not to act rashly. If the other party takes the initiative to cause trouble, try to avoid him."
"Anything else you want to report?"
Lao Qi walked over silently, holding a small box in his hand and placed it in front of Fang Zhengyi.
"Master, what you want is ready, and the silver foil is also inside."
"But... the effect is not very good. It is definitely enough."
Fang Zheng took the box, opened it and took a look. Inside was a miniature phonograph.
The size is about half that of the one in the county government office, and when held in the hand it is about the size of a book.
Fang Zheng closed the box and smiled, "Not bad, how is the house going?"
"It's finished! It's being renovated."
Fang Zheng looked at Lao Qi in surprise.
When he first came, he asked Lao Qi to build a luxurious brothel in a month to attract wealthy businessmen in the city. Now it’s completed in just a few days?
He always said one month less, just to push for faster progress. Normally, it would take several months to build an ordinary three-story house.
You built a brothel in just a few days?
Looking at Fang Zheng's suspicious look, Lao Qi smiled innocently.
"It was too late to build it. I bought a brothel and also bought the restaurant next to it."
"Just do some simple renovations on the outside and it will be done. We have a lot of people so the progress will be fast!"
"The connections inside are being made according to your layout."
Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows, thinking that he was negligent and forgot to acquire this business.
Then he changed the subject: "Old Qi, I remember you can make a loom, right? If you have time, make a few looms and train a few apprentices."
Lao Qi was stunned for a moment: "I can do it, but how about teaching it to outsiders?"
