Chapter 576: Four Heavenly Kings (Two)

"What the lord said is that there are many familiar faces in the carriage business. Once a new face appears, it will definitely attract attention. Although Ouyang Feng has been in Mengge City for not short time, the carriage business is not a place for people like him to go, so as long as he appears, he will be discovered immediately. There are many of us informants in the carriage business." Liu Shun immediately followed Xiao Han's thoughts.

"Don't underestimate these people in the city. Sometimes the news is more informative than you big men!" Xiao Han kindly reminded Liu Shun that intelligence work, from civil and military officials, nobles and princes, to the various religions and civilians, all places that need attention, and everything is in detail. In addition to the keen intuition in intelligence work, there is another thing to do is to be careful. Sometimes a small discovery may solve a big problem.

"What the lord said makes sense, Liu Shun remembers it in his heart." Liu Shun said hurriedly.

"Tell me about the third one." Xiao Han pointed to the third red circle on the map and said.

"This third one is a casino, and the Governor's Office also has shares in it. It obtains at least 100 million gold coins from the casino every year. The Governor's Office generally does not care about the operation of the casino, but only installs a few people in it. The purpose is to supervise the sharing of the casino, and the exchange of intelligence. The casino is a place where Ouyang Feng's uncle and nephew are often visited. Basically, Ouyang Ke will go to gamble a few games every night, with more losses and less wins. However, the owner of the casino wants to climb to the high branch of Ouyang Shijia, so he is very fond of Ouyang Ke. The casino has an underground arena, and there are bloody underground ring matches every day. This is where the casino really makes a profit."

"Do you suspect Ouyang Feng will hide in the casino?" Xiao Han asked.

"Some people may choose to bet once for the sake of their interests. After all, the strength behind the boss of this casino is also very strong." Liu Shun whispered, "The bloody underground competitive arenas in our Minglan Empire cannot be built without the permission of the royal family. Even we can't insert this underground arena."

Xiao Han knew that basically every big city has an open competitive plaza. Although this kind of competition is also killed or injured, it is not bloody. It mainly provides a place for competition. Sometimes public duels will be held in the competition plaza. It is far less bloody than the underground competition arena. It is at the cost of death. This circle must be guaranteed to enter. It is a place where rich people and nobles vent their inner evil.

On the surface, the income from the competitive plaza belongs to the local government, while the income from the bloody fighting are captured by the royal family and does not interfere with each other. They are interdependent.

"Since this casino has something to do with the royal family, do you think the royal family will take Ouyang Feng in?" Xiao Han asked back.

"The emperor immediately let him go, but it is hard to say the princes below. The casino in Mengge City is the power of the third prince. The third prince's concubine is the daughter of the Ouyang family. The third prince is not the eldest son. If he wants to be the emperor, he cannot do without the support of his parents' family. In the Minglan Empire, which prince supports the Ouyang family, which prince can win in the end. Will the third prince let go of such an opportunity to show goodwill to the Ouyang family?" Liu Shun explained.

"Yes, the analysis is very insightful, but will Ouyang Feng accept the protection of the third prince?" Xiao Han said, "As for the current situation, the Emperor of Minglan Empire is in full swing in spring and autumn, and has not yet reached the opportunity to change the throne. The Ouyang family will not easily support any prince. Even if the third prince wants to win over the Ouyang family, I am afraid that others may not appreciate it!" Xiao Han said.

"Hehe. This is an early investment. Anyway, it is just a shelter. Even if the incident happens, it can be completely recommended and not harmless with the third prince. However, the Ouyang family must take on his relationship, especially Ouyang Feng. If he really hides in the casino, unless he comes out by himself, we really have no way to deal with him." Liu Shundao.

"Speak the fourth one." Xiao Han's intuition was that Ouyang Feng would not hide in this casino. Ouyang Feng was not at the point of desperateness. There was no need to owe such a favor to the third prince. It is natural to pay back the debt. This favor is the most difficult thing to pay, unless Ouyang Feng himself does not want to have a reputation.

"This fourth is a residence, the residence of a mistress in Mongge City of Ouyang Feng. I have known each other for not long. The woman I like very much not only paid off my father's gambling debt for this woman, but also bought an independent apartment in Xicheng. In the past two months in Mongge City, he went there every two or three days, but I guess Ouyang Feng would not hide in this residence. After Ouyang Feng escaped, I sent someone to stare at this residence without any discovery." Liu Shundao.

Xiao Han shook his head. People like Ouyang Feng are more emotional than those who look for women. He will not be able to put his safety on a woman he has only known for two months. It would be great if he could buy a house and include food and accommodation.

Ouyang Feng is not an ordinary person. He will definitely not touch women in the romantic scene. However, he prefers such clean daughters. Because of their exclusiveness, no man does not like to monopolize the women he likes, even gods are no exception!

"The fifth place, the Thieves Guild, this is a good place for Tibetans. Although the Thieves Guild is not very strong, they have always been very weird and have very well-informed information. Moreover, the Thieves Guild likes to deal with wanted criminals the most. The news is their greatest source of interests. The reason why they are very wanted criminals is always at large is because of the Thieves Guild." Liu Shundao.

"This thief guild is an old rival. When he leaked my whereabouts, he made me open the killing ring in Green Town, with countless casualties. Therefore, he was called the devil. Later, they came to the door to apologize in person. Until now, my Fengcheng still refuses to enter the thief guild!" Xiao Han smiled.

"This thief guild does all the dirty things and should have banned him long ago." Jian Wu said hatefully.

"I heard that there are major forces behind the Thieves Guild. I don't know which one it is." Liu Shun paused and said.

"There are all super forces on the mainland that counting. If the Thieves Guild had no background, it would have been banned long ago." Xiao Han smiled. In fact, he knew that there was a background behind the Thieves Union, and he said it out that others would not believe. So he didn't want to say it.

"I think Ouyang Feng may be hidden in this thief guild in the end. In terms of intelligence and information capabilities, the only one that can compete with us in Mengge City is the thief guild. In the thief guild, Ouyang Feng can understand the outside situation through the thief guild at any time without showing up by himself. In addition, the thief guild also has a service to send messages on behalf of others. If Ouyang Feng wants to contact the outside world, he can also do it through the thief guild, which is much safer than if he comes forward in person." Liu Shun explained.

"Liu Shun's words make sense. This thief guild is a bad pus-flowing tumor. But we can't cut it off for the time being, but we can't let him break my business. We can find some people to see if they can penetrate it. Even if we can't grasp the secrets, we can only know that their every move is very good." Xiao Han said.

"We have been doing this before, but we haven't entered the core, but some internal actions can still be mastered." Liu Shun explained.

"That's good. Look at these five places, and don't let go of other places. Where is the secret stronghold of the Ouyang family in Mengge City?" Xiao Han asked.

"As you told me, I didn't move, and I waited for the ghost to come out and then take it over!" Liu Shundao.

"Well, don't wait, send my order to the ghost and accept it immediately." Xiao Han said.

"Yes, lord!" Although Liu Shun didn't understand what Xiao Han meant, he was not a person who liked to ask more questions, and he would not give any discount on the execution of Xiao Han's orders.

Ouyang Qian wants to follow him. It is meaningless to stay these secret strongholds of the Ouyang family. If you accept them, you will hand them over to Liu Shun. In this way, the Ouyang family's every move in Mengge City will not escape the eyes of Xiao Lu and others.

"After some information about the Ziyi Marquis, the ghost asked me to submit it to my lord." Liu Shun took out a thick kraft paper envelope and handed it to Xiao Han.

"Well, I understand. Let her write down what's in her mind when she's fine. The more detailed the better, the more useful it will be in the future." Xiao Han said.

Liu Shun nodded, left the prison with Jian Wuyi, and returned to the temporary requisitioned office of the Public Security Department.

The square across the street of Ziyi Hou Mansion was very lively. Ziyi Hou invested 100 million gold coins to build the most luxurious leisure and entertainment venue in Mengge City. The foundation laying ceremony of Tianxiang Entertainment City was held here. Thousands of craftsmen, thousands of guests who came to attend the ceremony, and tens of thousands of people surrounded the place.

In the future, a 50,000 square meters entertainment city will rise up on this dilapidated urban area. The architectural design even invited a master craftsman design team from the Architecture Department of the Imperial Capital, the design cost is as high as tens of millions of gold coins.

In the future, Tianxiang Entertainment City will become an iconic building in the North City of Mengge City.

If the Ziyi Hou did not take action, she would make a big splash. The huge Mengge City took away her glory by a woman who had lived in a widow for 30 years.

The Marquis of Ziyi was still covered with a veil, but today he wore a sky blue cheongsam, and a purple cereal embroidered on his chest. The cheongsam outlined her perfect curves, amethyst high heels, a string of crystal clear sapphire bracelets on his left wrist, and a platinum necklace shining brightly on his delicate neck. The pendant was a heart-shaped pink diamond, which reflected dazzling light in the sunlight. The whole person was gorgeous but not charming, like a noble and holy lotus, releasing an extremely holy light!

"This is the Ziyi Hou, why is it a woman?"

"What's wrong with women? Women can't be marquis..."

"It's so beautiful. Isn't it said that the Ziyi Hou is almost sixty years old? Why do you look similar to an eighteen-year-old girl?"

"He is the Marquis, so how many skin care products do you know?"

"I don't understand. Didn't I buy a lot of them for you too? Why haven't you seen you take care of so well? A yellow-faced woman!"

"You said I'm a yellow-faced woman?"

"What, I don't admit it. If you are half as young as Ziyi Hou, I will never go out for a job again!"

"You are shameless and dare to say it in front of so many people..."

...

The appearance of the Ziyi Hou really amazed the audience, with marvelous voices, jealousy and envy coming one after another.

Xiao Lu is now the Governor of Heita and the person with the highest status at the groundbreaking ceremony today. Naturally, he was arranged to stand at the forefront with the Ziyi Hou.

According to convention, the leader must speak, and as the master, Ziyi Hou naturally cannot escape.

In thirty years, the Purple-Yi Hou has spoken out to the people of Mengge City for the first time, and this is a historic moment!

"Dear guests and friends, hello, today is the day of the foundation laying ceremony of my Tianxiang Entertainment City. I am very happy that everyone can come to attend in their busy schedules. Although I have lived with you in the same city for thirty years,..."

The purple-style Hou said a thousand words in a casual manner, reviewed the history of thirty years, and looked forward to the future, and won waves of applause. At least after listening to her speech, everyone felt that this mysterious woman of thirty years was not too mysterious, and she was a little close to them, and she was no longer so repulsive. There was also a hint of softness in her eyes.

After all, a woman has supported a family for thirty years and has not remarried for thirty years. How huge is the loss of youth!

Xiao Lu also went on stage to speak. His speech was very short, of course, and there were a few words of praise, and then he also won applause. The people should at least give their parents some face.

The groundbreaking ceremony was almost over half an hour. The guests invited came forward and shoveled the soil, buried the foundation stone, and left for nothing, and those who had something to do naturally stayed.

Xiao Lu stayed because it was the invitation of the Marquis of Ziyi. He also stayed with him two nobles and three wealthy businessmen in Mengge City, with their wealth of more than 100 million.

Xiao Lu remained calm. The Ziyi Hou must have a purpose. It was 80% for financing. The Ziyi Hou said on the surface that he was not short of money, but in fact there was a gap of at least 80 million yuan. If he could not find a joint venture, Tianxiang Entertainment City would be a castle in the air!

The six people were invited to the Ziyi Marquis' Mansion, and of course they were serving them happily.

"Governor General, Marquis Ziyi asked us to pass through the mansion. Do you know what important matters are there to discuss?" A wealthy businessman asked Xiao Lu uncontrollably.

"I don't know this, I'll know it later. The Ziyi Hou will not keep us for no reason." Xiao Lu smiled slightly, and he kept Xiao Han's six-character mantra in mind, "Since you come, you can rest assured", and everything was soon revealed.

In the blink of an eye, the Ziyi Hou changed into a purple long skirt, which made him look more noble and elegant, and generous.

"Sorry, Governor, I've neglected you all." The Purple-in-law bowed slightly and said.

"It's okay, the tea in the Ziyi Marquis' Mansion is good, I happened to taste it." Among the six people, Xiao Lu was the leader, so naturally he was the leader of everything.

"Ziyi overestimates her abilities and begs the six to stay, but in fact it is for Tianxiang Entertainment City." Ziyi Hou said, "It's true that although Ziyi decided to build Tianxiang Entertainment City, she lacks funds. I want to ask the six to generously donate."

"Does Ziyi Hou want to borrow money from us or want us to participate in the shares?" When everyone heard that Ziyi Hou was short of money, they understood that they had something to ask for. They had a straight waist and a hard neck, and of course they became much more tough when speaking.

"It's best for you to lend money to Ziyi." Ziyi Hou said calmly.

"Ziyihou, as we all know, after the Tianxiang Entertainment City is completed, we will definitely make money every day. We do have some spare money in our hands and want to get involved. I wonder what the Ziyihou thinks?" In addition to Xiao Lu, the five people reached an agreement with one glance at each other.

Only Xiao Lu did not discover it. Although these five people wanted to get involved and join the governor of the Black Tower and wanted to take it alone, these people had no choice.

"Governor, do you want to invest in the shares too?" Ziyi Hou asked Xiao Lu.

"How much is the funding gap between Ziyi Hou?" Xiao Lu asked.

"Eighty million gold coins!" said the purple-style Hou slowly.

"Eighty million!" This number made the five people except Xiao Lu breathe rapidly. You should know that Tianxiang Entertainment City, with the premise of purchasing land and demolition compensation, the total investment is only about 150 million, and 80 million is already more than half. If Tianxiang Entertainment City can be controlled, then the wealth will come from time to time in the future?

"Governor General, Ziyi Hou is also a commoner under your rule, so you can reach out and help her." The attitude of the Governor Heita is the key to whether he can successfully get involved, so the five people couldn't wait to stare at Xiao Lu, hoping that he could agree at once.

"Eighty million is not too much, I am the governor..." Xiao Lu paused deliberately, looked at the five people, and found that they were all like they were betrayed. It was obvious that they thought they wanted to take it away. Eighty million is not a big money for the Governor's Office. Instead of putting it in the Governor's Office's treasury and taking up space, it is better to invest it and make money with money more cost-effective.

"I cannot take advantage of the benefits alone. Since the Marquis of Ziyi has invited six of us in total, the Governor's Mansion will pay 30 million, and the remaining five of you will be ten million each. How about it?" Xiao Lu opened his mouth and divided the 80 million for Marquis of Ziyi.

"We listen to the Governor!" The five people were very grateful. Even if the Governor didn't pay for the money, they would do it. Such a good opportunity to climb the Governor was worth it even if it took millions. Five people a share, but one person would only cost six million more. Six million to buy the Governor's favor or promise. It is estimated that people are rushing to do this business!

"But I have a condition, Ziyi Hou. If you agree, this is 80 million to be considered as the six of us who are investing in the entertainment city. We don't care about the operation of the entertainment city, just wait for dividends. If you don't agree, this is 80 million, this I can only say that I can't stand it." Xiao Lu said strongly.

"Governor, please speak!"

"I want to know where the spices in the hand of Ziyi Hou came from?" Xiao Lu stared at Ziyi Hou's eyes and asked word by word.

"Governor, this is by chance that I got a recipe for ancient spices and made it out." said the Purple-Yi Hou.

"Oh, is Ziyi Hou still an alchemist or pharmacist?" Xiao Lu sneered in his heart, but a hint of surprise appeared on his face.

"I'm nothing. As long as anyone gets the recipe, I can make this spice, so I disappointed the Governor." The Marquis Ziyi said without blinking his eyes, very sincere, and didn't look like a lie at all.
