Chapter 941 A Tumultuous Time at Prince Yi's Residence
What does "one price per question" mean?
Xiao Jingyi was puzzled.
"Your Highness, for example, when we want to buy information about East Venezuela from them..."
We need to know who from the Eastern Wei Kingdom has arrived in Jingyue Capital.
This is one;
Where are the people from the Eastern Wei Kingdom hiding in the capital?
This is another one;
How many people did they bring with them to Jingyue this time?
This is the third point;
How many people have infiltrated my Jingyue beforehand?
This is another one;
And so on.
Each question counts as a message.
If you want to find out the truth about something, you won't get it without tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of taels of silver!
Furthermore, for anyone who drinks or dines at Xiaofeng Restaurant, Xiaofeng Restaurant is no different from any other restaurant.
If you want to buy information from 'Feng Xiao', you need to first lay out five thousand taels of silver at the counter. As for the information you want to buy, we'll talk about it later!
If 'Feng Xiao' agrees to sell the information, he will tell the buyer when they can get the information they want!
At this point, Jiang Fang paused and looked at Xiao Jingyi, "Your Highness, the Vice Minister's residence was raided, and the gold and silver we stored in the secret room of the Vice Minister's residence... must have been confiscated by the Imperial Guards!"
In the short term, regarding expenditures... we still need to be very careful with our money!
The mere mention of the confiscation of the Vice Minister's residence gave Xiao Jingyi a headache.
It's not just my head that hurts, it's my wallet that hurts!
In the secret chamber of the Second Assistant Minister's residence, there were hundreds of thousands of taels of gold and silver, which were part of his capital in his struggle for the throne!
Now, it's all gone in an instant, instead going into the national treasury of his own uncle, Emperor Hongde, and filling his pockets!
I can't think about it, because it makes my heart, liver, and lungs ache!
I want to cry but have no tears!
Xiao Jingyi gritted his teeth, "But the money that needs to be spent still needs to be spent!"
We should try to simplify the questions we want to ask.
We cannot always be in a passive position.
In short, I must see the Crown Prince of Dongwei before the Emperor's birthday banquet!
"Yes, Your Highness, I will do my best!"
Jiang Fang responded somewhat helplessly.
"Still can't find out who owns Xiaofeng Restaurant?"
Xiao Jingyi suddenly asked.
"Your Highness, we cannot find anything!"
All that is known is that 'Feng Xiao' is a figure from the martial arts world, but who exactly he is... no one knows;
No one has ever seen the true face of the owner behind 'Feng Xiao'!
All that is known is that the power behind 'Feng Xiao' is immense and mysterious, and neither the imperial court nor the martial arts world dares to touch him.
Given his geographical location in the capital and his ability to amass wealth, how could no one be envious and covetous of him during the years since 'Feng Xiao' rose to prominence?
But those who dared to covet it all met a terrible end!
Xiaofeng Restaurant, however, remains standing.
As a result, no one dared to mess with Xiaofeng Restaurant anymore;
Even those who want to buy information obediently come knocking with their money; it all depends on whether Xiaofeng Restaurant is willing to sell the information!
"is it?
Is it possible for such a powerful figure to be of service to me?
If they could be of use to my purposes, wouldn't that be a tremendous help to my great cause!
Xiao Jingyi was clearly interested in the owner behind 'Feng Xiao'.
Upon hearing Xiao Jingyi's words, Jiang Fang merely raised his eyelids to glance at Xiao Jingyi, said nothing, and then lowered his eyelids again.
Jiang Fang thought to himself: Your Highness, you're dreaming!
If 'Feng Xiao' could be so easily attributed to anyone, then 'Feng Xiao' would no longer be 'Feng Xiao'!
"Why are not you talking?"
Seeing that Jiang Fang did not respond, Xiao Jingyi looked up at him and asked in confusion.
"Your Highness, it's best not to have such an idea!"
'Feng Xiao's' principle is not to be used by any force!
All we can do is buy information with silver when we need it, and pray for good luck—luckily, 'Feng Xiao' is willing to sell information!
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingyi nodded regretfully, "If that's the case... then alright, let's spend money to buy information!"
You handle this personally!
"Yes, Your Majesty!
"I'll take care of it right away!"
Jiang Fang stood up, bowed, and turned to leave the study.
Xiao Jingyi was the only one left in the study.
He sat quietly for a long time, seemingly lost in thought, before finally standing up silently and leaving the study.
Chang Gui followed, but was stopped by Xiao Jingyi.
"You don't need to follow me, I'll go for a walk by myself."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Chang Gui stopped and watched Xiao Jingyi walk out of the study courtyard.
Even Chang Gui couldn't help but sigh inwardly, it could be said that the Prince Yi's mansion had recently encountered a turbulent period!
Putting aside everything else, even the inner quarters are not what they used to be.
In this short period of time, first Consort Shui was reprimanded by the prince and fled in a sorry state;
Then there was the divorce of the principal wife, Zhang Miaoying;
Following closely behind, Consort Hua, who had locked herself in the small courtyard of the Buddhist temple, was also granted permission by her father, Vice Minister Hua, to have her name removed from the imperial genealogy and be taken home directly by the Emperor.
Just now, the two concubines, Madam Yu and Madam Qin, tried to have a chance encounter with the prince, but their plan backfired and they were sent to the Dowager Consort by the prince!
Going to the Dowager Consort's place is worse than being confined to my own courtyard!
Staying in front of that strange and violent imperial concubine would be a death sentence!
