I, make my own

Chapter 18 Laughing Stock, Trading

Dark Wind Hall.

Seeing the crowd of onlookers packed with anticipation, Zhou Lan's face under the mask was a bit ugly.

"Young Master Yan, there's no need to make a scene so everyone knows about it, right?"

Zhou Xin laughed in his heart, but spoke in a rather surprised tone.

"Huh? Brother, you are not satisfied? I am still thinking, with so many witnesses, the news about my Tianji Tower cannot be faked."

Zhou Lan choked, then waved his hand.

"That's all, that's fine, Mr. Yan, let's have the news read out."

"good."

Zhou Xin smiled slightly and nodded towards Xia Ze.

Xia Ze cupped his fists respectfully, and then spread out the booklet.

"The first target: Princess Wei. In the past hour, Princess Wei first fed three golden crucian carps to Biyuanchi, and then went to the study to play the piano and sing a cappella. This process lasted for about half an hour."

"Afterwards, Concubine Wei searched for someone to inquire about King Wei's whereabouts, but to no avail, she angrily reprimanded three servants, and one of the servant girls was slapped across the face. Well, it was the left cheek."

Hearing this, the crowd of onlookers couldn't help but gasped and trembled.

Even knowing the types of crucian carp being fed and the specific parts of the beaten maid, the meticulous work of this Tianjilou is too terrifying, right?
"After returning to bed, Concubine Wei called off all the servants, copied the portrait of King Wei with good painting skills, and then drew circles with a red fine brush while chanting words, which is obviously not good."

"After three quarters of an hour, Princess Wei destroyed the portrait and went to bed to rest."

"Oh, by the way, a few details are included for free: Princess Wei has a small mole on her right ankle, and her underwear is made of pink silk. After resting, there seems to be a soft humming sound. Maybe it's Princess Wei who is humming." ..."

After Xia Ze finished speaking, the crowd immediately burst into laughter. Although they were all wearing masks, one could infer how obscene their expressions were from the teasing laughter.

"It seems that Princess Wei is very dissatisfied with King Wei..."

"Isn't that right? Letting a beautiful lady stay at home alone in an empty room, and she doesn't seem to be satisfied, can Princess Wei not be annoyed?"

"Hahahahaha..."

"Hey, don't you think this mighty king is not very good?"

"Cough, this...should be impossible, King Wei has already married several concubines, besides, if he really has a problem, given his background, there are plenty of ways to solve it."

"Hey, that's not necessarily true. King Wei and his concubine have been married for six or seven years. The other concubines are even a few years older than the concubine, and some are a year or two younger. But their stomachs have never moved. this……"

"Is this normal? King Wei is still young after all, so it's not surprising that he doesn't want children for the time being."

"Hey! Anyway, King Wei must have left Princess Wei in the cold, otherwise Princess Wei wouldn't have been able to do it on her own... cough cough..."

"Oh, what a waste of money! That Princess Wei is a great beauty, I really wish I could exchange identities with King Wei, even if it's just for one night!"

"Hmph! A group of lustful hungry ghosts..."

"Tch! Why are you pretending to be a gentleman? Just look down at yourself!"

The crowd laughed and shouted presumptuously, unaware that Zhou Lan's fists under the sleeves were already clenched white, and his teeth were even more creaking.

If possible, he really wants to kill and tear up all the dregs in front of him!

But reason told him that he couldn't!

"Brother, let your people flip the cards."

Zhou Xin stared at Zhou Lan with a smile, like a cunning fox.

Zhou Lan pretended to be calm and waved his hand.

Not far away, a masked man nodded, and then reached out and opened the first wooden sign from the wooden plate held by another person.

The message on the wooden sign is very simple, only six words: feed the fish, play the piano, rest.

Compared with the detailed and frightening news of Tianjilou, these words are really bad, but it also proves the accuracy of Tianjilou's news.

Xia Ze glanced at the crowd who gradually quieted down with admiring eyes, and continued to speak.

"The second target: King Wei. King Wei is in the Hundred Caves right now..."

Xia Ze said, staring at Zhou Lan seemingly unintentionally.

Zhou Lan's heart skipped a beat, and while startled and puzzled, she hurriedly coughed lightly to stop, not daring to let Xia Ze continue talking.

"Flip the cards."

The second wooden sign was turned over, and there were five characters written on it: Suspected Hundred Caves.

With such a result, the crowd couldn't help but become quiet.

Many of them were still looking left and right, and they didn't know whether they were worried that King Wei was here, or they wanted to find King Wei to watch the show.

"The third target: Concubine Qionghan. Concubine Qionghan took a bath in the pool at sunset, and the bath lasted for nearly two quarters of an hour."

"As for the petals and incense used, they are red rose petals and rosewood incense."

"In addition, there are a few details..."

Hearing the word "details", Zhou Lan shuddered suddenly, and hurriedly interrupted.

"Well, the concubine is a concubine after all, so I don't need to talk about the details."

Xia Ze spread his hands in regret, but he didn't insist.

All the spectators were also full of regrets, but they were not the sponsors, so there was nothing they could do.

Not long after, the third wooden card was opened, and there were also four words on it: red rose, red sandalwood.

"As expected of Mr. Yan! This Tianji building is also worthy of the name of Tianji!"

"That's right! Such ability is completely worthy of the words 'know everything and know everything'!"

"It's a pity that Tianji Building doesn't accept small jobs, otherwise..."

"The remuneration of Tianji Building is not low. Even if they are willing to accept it, many people may not be able to afford the price."

"Who said it wasn't?"

The crowd was a little bit unsatisfied, but the excitement was over, so they still dispersed.

After the surrounding area became empty, Zhou Lan slowly looked at Zhou Xin and spoke in a low voice.

"Master Yan already knows the identity of the subordinate?"

"What do you say, my lord prince?"

The corner of Zhou Xin's mouth hooked slightly, and he gave a chuckle.

Zhou Lan twitched her face, gritted her teeth and did not make a sound.

Zhou Xin waved his folding fan, and said with a faint smile, "Now, brother, you should know why I made you bleed profusely, right?"

Zhou Lan remained silent for a while, and then said in a deep voice, "Young Master Yan, do you want to get back the previous reward as well?"

"It can be said this way. The first piece of news can be given away for free, but one must not be separated. For that matter, my Tianji Building lost several dark men with high status. I have to ask for some compensation, right?"

"That's the reason. But..."

Zhou Lan nodded, and then his tone changed, a little unkind and a little angry.

"Since Mr. Yan already knows the identity of the king, why do you want people to tell those details?"

"Hehe, my lord prince, I thought you wouldn't ask this question. It seems that I overestimated you."

Zhou Xin shook his head and chuckled, with a hint of disappointment in his laughter.

"Those who achieve great things don't care about small things. How can such a small matter make you happy and angry?"

"Okay, my lord prince, we will meet again in the future. If there is a need, let someone send a message to the contact point of Tianji Building in the dark wind."

After the words fell, Zhou Xin closed his folding fan, turned around and left with his hands behind his back.

After standing there for a while, Zhou Lan's face changed, and then she led people to walk in another direction.

After half a stick of incense, Hei Tan appeared in front of Zhou Xin again.

"Young Master Yan, Li Sanyuan can be handed over to you, but we don't need money."

"Oh? Tell me, what do you need me to investigate?"

Zhou Xin seemed to have guessed that there would be such a request in Baicao Cave, so he was not surprised at all.

Heitan took a deep look at Zhou Xin, and after pondering for a while, made his request.

"The leader of the Nine Nether Demon Sect seems to have come to the imperial capital, and their people have had a lot of contact with the people in the Qianxiang Pavilion in recent days. We need to know what the two parties are plotting and whether they will join hands to target my Baicao Cave. "

After hearing Heitan's request, Zhou Xin immediately recalled it.

Qianxiang Pavilion, despite its lofty name, is actually located in the underground world. It is one of the two overlords of the underground dark net in the imperial capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, keeping pace with the Hundred Caves.

It goes without saying that the interests of the two parties are involved and infighting.

As for the Nine Nether Demon Sect, this is one of the largest and most well-established powers in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

They call themselves the Nine Nether God Sect, but because their members do whatever they want, both good and evil, they are feared and feared by people in the world, so they are called Demon Sect.

The Nine Nether Demon Sect can be called the leader of the demonic way, and it is in the same court as Shang Fazong, who claims to be the leader of the righteous way, and Jinhong Temple, a holy place of Buddhism.

The leader of such a giant-level power suddenly stepped into the imperial capital in person, and even communicated secretly with the people in Qianxiang Pavilion. It's no wonder that the people in Baicao Grottoes couldn't sit still.

In this case, even if there is no evidence, they still have to worry about the possibility of Jiuyou Demon Sect and Qianxiang Pavilion joining forces to attack Baicao Cave.

While thinking secretly in his heart, Zhou Xin spoke quietly.

"What about the time limit?"

"Seven days."

"can."

"Ok?"

Hearing Zhou Xin's crisp response, Hei Tan was stunned.

Don't you need to bargain when doing business?
The time he reported was just a test time limit. In fact, their psychological expectation was half a month.

"What? Is there a problem?"

Zhou Xin seemed to notice that Hei Tan was in a daze, and Zhou Xin asked in surprise.

"Uh, no."

Hei Tan hurriedly shook his head, for Baixue Grotto, the sooner the conspiracy of the two parties was discovered, the better, and he naturally would not take the initiative to extend the time limit.

Zhou Xin nodded and said in a low voice, "If that's the case, let's bring him here."

Heitan frowned slightly, "Young Master Yan, what matters in business is first-hand money and first-hand goods. Now, the news has not been revealed, how can we hand over people?"

"My son likes to be straightforward in his work, and you should have already experienced this."

Zhou Xin snorted coldly, a little dissatisfied.

"Furthermore, I won't ruin the reputation of Tianjilou just because of a mere Li Sanyuan? In our business, reputation is paramount. I can't destroy my foundation."

"Okay, hurry up and bring someone here, I don't have much time to waste."

Hei Tan thought about it, and it was indeed such a rationale.

Furthermore, he doesn't believe that Tianji Building dares to break the contract!

"Since that's the case, I can leave it to you now. However, I hope that Mr. Yan can pay more attention to the agreed matter and complete it as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, you should already know about my skills in Tianji Building."
