After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 1452 Bai Tan
The lady was skeptical: "Are you sure?"

"Not sure. Who can be sure until something like this is confirmed?" Nothing in the court can be 100% guaranteed.

"..."

"But we must try." You Rongzhi stretched out his hand towards her, "Fifty thousand taels!"

"Let's talk about it tomorrow morning!" The lady rolled her eyes at him. "It's already late at night, are you still going to Sanmentou? Only a madman would do such a thing. Besides, it will take time for me to get the money out, can't you wait until tomorrow morning!"

"Okay, okay." You Rongzhi is not henpecked. He also needs time to think carefully and sort out his thoughts.

"Go to sleep."

……

As soon as He Lingchuan entered the inn, he smelled the aroma of oil. He walked to the next room and saw Dong Rui eating sausage and fried chicken to go with his wine.

"Is it done?"

"We've finished filming." He Lingchuan looked around and asked, "Are you okay here?"

"Calm and calm."

"Where's Fu Bao?"

As soon as He Lingchuan finished asking the question, the Eyeball Spider relayed Wang Fubao's words: "My Lord, I am still here, everything is normal."

Dong Rui snorted: "Aren't you afraid that someone will attack me? Where is it?"

"It's slower than I thought, but it's only a matter of time. Don't take it lightly." He Lingchuan also sat down and reached out to grab a chicken drumstick. "I'm so hungry. There's nothing to eat at the sale."

The Chibao sale just let the VIPs and spectators sit there, and the VIPs could even get a glass of wine. It was unlike Fang Canran's Dunyuan sale, where food and wine were freely available.

mean.

The sausages on the table are stuffed with twelve kinds of spices and sweet wine lees. Not only does it burst out with rich gravy when you bite it, but it also has a slightly sweet smell of wine. The fried chicken is marinated for two hours using a secret recipe before being fried in a pan. It is golden and crispy, and it crunches as soon as you put it in your mouth.

He Lingchuan finished a large chicken drumstick in three bites, thinking that Yaoguo's spices and fried food were a perfect match. He wanted to take another one, but Wanqi Feng suddenly came in from outside and reported:
"My lord, General Bai from the Ministry of Justice is here."

General Bai? He Lingchuan was startled. Bai Tan, the chief officer of the Ministry of Justice, had been a general and fought in major battles before, so everyone still called him General Bai, and he liked this title too.

Why did Bai Tan come here in the middle of the night? They were not familiar with each other. He Lingchuan had dealt with many officials these days, but Bai Tan was not among them.

He washed his hands in the basin first, then said, "Let's go."

In this season, a bunch of golden soapberries are placed beside the basin, which can be used as hand soap.

He Lingchuan returned to his room and saw several guards standing outside the door with their backs straight.

Bai Tan was already standing in his room. When he saw him come in, he smiled and greeted him:
"Congratulations to the island master for being in high spirits and returning with a fruitful harvest tonight."

He Lingchuan personally poured him a cup of tea: "TOEFL, it's all thanks to everyone."

The two seemed to be very familiar with each other, but in fact it was their second meeting.

The first time at the Chibao sale.

Yes, Bai Tan was also at the auction just now, and witnessed the entire process of Prince Qing's Mansion buying the first house in Youhu Villa for a large sum of money.
Bai Tan took the warm tea, sat down and sipped it slowly.

It seemed like he wanted He Lingchuan to speak first.

The Soul Mirror snorted, "They are so impatient that they come to my house in the middle of the night, and even after they come, they still act arrogantly. These old guys!"

He Lingchuan didn't take it seriously and kept a gentle smile: "What brought General Bai here?"

Bai Tan then put down the cup and exhaled softly:

"Don't be afraid of being laughed at by Island Master He. I came here overnight to buy a house from you."

It was late at night, and he was too lazy to beat around the bush. He must have a request for help when he came to the door in the middle of the night, and both parties knew it.

He Lingchuan vaguely guessed his purpose, but was still a little surprised to hear him say it himself.

The first official who came to visit in person was actually a military general?
The reactions of other civil officials were not as quick as his. This General Bai is not as simple as he seems.

However, as the head of the Ministry of Justice, he is indeed qualified to buy a villa. "The villa has not been built yet, so I don't have a real scene to show General Bai. I'll go get the blueprints..."

This must be discussed in advance to avoid disputes later.

Bai Tan waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, it's okay. You can watch it or not."

Is he concerned about the temple itself?

"Which row do you want?" Bai Tan has a position.

“First row by the lake.”

Facing the lake? He Lingchuan looked at him carefully and said, "There is only the last building left in the first row of houses facing the lake."

The lakeside monasteries are the largest and most luxurious, with better views, but they are limited in number, with only three in total.

"Give it to me." Bai Tan placed a few silver bills and pieces of metal on the table. "These things are worth more than 50,000 taels of silver. I want the last one."

He Lingchuan simply pointed out: "What is the significance of buying the Jingshe? General Bai, do you understand?"

Bai Tan pointed at the silver on the table and grinned, "Of course, otherwise how could this house be worth 50,000 taels?"

These people always like to underestimate the brains of military generals.

He Lingchuan then took out a wooden plaque with a gold mark from his bosom, handed it to him and said, "General Bai is truly a fierce general. He always rushes to the front."

"For the king, I will go through fire and water without hesitation." Bai Tan took the sign and put it away, then stood up and said, "If you encounter any difficulties while building the house, just come to me."

If you think about his position, you will know the weight of his words. He Lingchuan was overjoyed: "Thank you, General Bai! It seems that I can walk sideways in Tianshui City in the future."

"You can do it now." Bai Tan laughed, got up and left.

Ten or so breaths later, Dong Rui walked in and saw He Lingchuan packing up the treasures on the table.

"Wow, how much is this? Thirty thousand, fifty thousand?"

"Fifty thousand." Bai Tan didn't give much gold and silver, but several kinds of precious materials, each of which was worth a lot. This was also an idea, some natural treasures were small in size but expensive.

Well, the black market in Tianshui City is said to be very developed.

Dong Rui was shocked: "How come it's more expensive than the final price of the auction? If he really wanted it, why didn't he bid on the spot?"

"He might not win the bid even if he bids on the spot, and he helps to drive up the price. That would hurt both sides, and he might even offend Prince Qing's Palace." If it weren't for the Luodian people helping to drive up the price, the first building would not have been sold at such a high price. "Why not come and negotiate with me privately?"

"He came here overnight because he was worried that someone would buy Linhu Jingshe first."

As soon as Bai Tan offered the 50,000 taels, all the rooms in the first row of Youhu Villa were sold out.

"The Qing Palace, the Yuwen family, and Bai Tan." He Lingchuan stroked his chin and said, "It's quite appropriate for them to occupy the first row facing the lake. If it were someone else, they might not be able to stand."

"According to the information I got, Bai Tan has a bad temper and is impulsive and straightforward. This is somewhat different from what I saw with my own eyes."

Dong Rui wondered, "Why does he have to sit in the first row by the lake?"
