"You can decide for yourself how to go about your future." Wu Weian had no plans for this man, "but I hope that one day you will have the opportunity to let me use you."
The masked man knelt on one leg and said, "Don't worry, sir. I will definitely live up to your training."
"Well, go ahead, put it on and don't take it off. Come with me to see the lady."
Wu Weian took Fang Yuan to meet Ji Yunxi.
Ji Yunxi looked him up and down several times.
Wu Wei'an leaned aside, his arms folded across his chest. "How is it? Was your eight thousand taels worth it?"
Ji Yunxi nodded: "It's really good."
Wu Weian smiled, tapped his toes, and felt proud.
Ji Yunxi gave Fang Yuan a few instructions, and then Fang Yuan disappeared and went to find his "parents" as Ji Yunxi had instructed.
Fang Yuan left and the bedroom door was closed.
Ji Yunxi still has some details for tomorrow and needs to use the resources in Wu Weian's hands.
For example, before the palace examination that day, there were the "water army" who helped him establish his persona in the scholar circle.
Wu Weian naturally presented it with both hands.
It would be a waste to leave these resources alone. If I could give them to her, they could also help him make money, which was like killing two birds with one stone.
In the past, no matter how many resources he had, he had no place to sell them.
No one in the underworld or the government knew about the network he had built, and no one knew his identity.
How does he sell it? To whom?
This time, Wu Weian used his connections to get his father's name noticed by Ji Mingxi, the Minister of Personnel, and had his father transferred to Beijing. He also felt that the time had come.
He originally wanted to choose someone he liked from among the princes so that everyone could benefit from it.
Unexpectedly, Ji Yunxi came to the door first.
He was hesitant before, but now, Wu Weian feels that Ji Yunxi is indeed the best candidate.
The relationship between her Ji family and the prince, as well as her wealth that rivals that of a country, are her best reliance.
And her kind and simple brother is her biggest weakness.
She has obvious evidence, so someone like her is very suitable, much more suitable than the princes.
Those royal sons were too suspicious and cruel, and were good at using and discarding them. But the Ji family would not do that.
Moreover, he had to be humble and submissive in front of the princes, coaxing and flattering them. Although he didn't care, he would of course choose not to bend his knees if he could.
The door of the young master and his wife was closed, and the round-faced steward who was working not far away left.
He just heard it all.
He then asked, how could the young master come up with 7,000 taels that day! It turned out that he had sold the mask for 8,000 taels from his wife!
The round-faced manager knew who was behind Fang Yuan.
This man had a deep blood feud and killed the elder of a major sect in the martial arts world to avenge himself, but he was hunted down ever since.
If the young master had not asked them to rescue him, he would have died long ago.
Of course, this is not the point.
The point is, the young master took two thousand taels from the lady before, and she gave him one thousand taels, so there is still one thousand taels left.
Now he made another eight thousand taels from selling his skins, and gave him seven thousand taels, leaving him with one thousand taels.
The young master now has two thousand taels in his hand.
The brothers who went to the capital this time have basically paid off the taxes they owed in previous years.
But I still owe my brothers in other places.
The round-faced manager thought that he should expand outward from the capital and settle the accounts one city at a time.
After all, everyone has been asking for money over the years.
He was the only one who was blocking all of this. He was the one who, with a shameless face, tried to persuade everyone with both emotion and reason, saying that life was difficult nowadays and hoped that everyone could wait and give them some time.
Two thousand taels should be enough to build seven or eight cities.
If you pay back one city at a time, you will eventually be able to pay it off.
As he thought about it, the round-faced manager straightened his back a little.
He had already foreseen the harmonious and harmonious life after the debt was paid off.
Chapter 49 Drunk
In the past few days, countless people in Shangjing City have joined forces and searched almost the entire city several times, but no one has found the "fifty taels".
"If you ask me, those horse dealers must have found these fifty taels and hidden them away!"
"But that fifty taels is just an ordinary horse. And I heard that the Tanhua scholar's family just arrived in the capital and bought this cheap horse when they were broke. The horse dealer wouldn't be able to sell it for fifty taels. Why not just return it to the Wu family and take the fifty taels?"
"You don't understand, don't you? The third-place winner's horse might not have gotten lost, but rather been abducted by horse dealers! They took advantage of the time when the detectives were arresting the local official to secretly take the horse away."
"By the way, how's the case with the gambling house manager going?"
"Hey, I really didn't realize before that this manager was actually a woman! And she even killed her fiancé and took his place in the imperial examinations! People like this deserve to be torn into pieces!"
"I have a relative who works in the Ministry of Justice. He said the woman is gritting her teeth and refusing to admit that she killed the man."
"The person who must be the most angry about this is definitely the Third Young Lady. This gambling house manager was highly regarded by the Third Young Lady, yet he ended up in the Ministry of Justice. Do you think the Ministry of Justice will release the manager out of fear of offending the Third Young Lady and the Ji family?"
"This is happening in Shangjing City! Under the feet of the emperor, how dare her Ji family be so arrogant? All the people in Shangjing City have seen this. If the Ministry of Justice dares to let it go easily, I will be the first to file a complaint with the emperor!" On the day when the results of the Spring Examination were announced, the scholar Kang Pei, who had quarreled with 'Fang Yuan' in the restaurant, blushed with anger.
This spring, Kang Pei did not perform well in the examination and did not make it to the palace examination.
He was originally very sad, but when he saw Fang Yuan was the last in the Spring Examination, he instantly became happy. However, his happiness didn't last long, as he learned that Fang Yuan had become the manager of a gambling house and had become a member of the Ji family!
According to Kang Pei's thinking, 'Fang Yuan' should pack up and go back to his hometown. Why is he still staying in Shangjing City and living a prosperous life?
Kang Pei's family wasn't in the capital, and if he hadn't done well on the exam, he should have left long ago to continue his studies and prepare for the next imperial examination. But he stayed, wanting to see how Fang Yuan would fare.
