I really became a king.

Chapter 541 Liu Guangqiu's "Self-rescue"

This mansion covering an area of ​​100 acres has never had any official name since the day it was built. Its function is a bit like the "mountain gate" of Kongtong Mountain.

Gradually, people got used to calling it "Kongtong Posthouse".

As the position of Prince Yi's Mansion in Western Xinjiang became more and more stable, the area within the East and West Demon Realms also had a new name - Western Xinjiang Royal City.

Compared with other royal cities and imperial capitals, the Western Frontier Royal City is unique in one respect: almost two-thirds of the city is farmland.

The area surrounding Kongtong Posthouse is the most prosperous section of Xijiang Royal City, and its restaurants, teahouses, etc. are the most upscale in the entire Xijiang Royal City.

Every day, all kinds of people wander around here, holding various business cards in their arms, hoping to have the opportunity to hand them in to Kongtong Posthouse.

Kongtong Inn has been empty since its construction, but it suddenly became lively half a month ago.

The entire sequence of Prince Yi’s Palace is gathered here.

The Eight Tribes of Western Xinjiang, the Imperial Guard Camp, Wenzong's Palace, the Military Office of the Shence Palace, the Vanguard Camp, the Loyal and Brave Camp, the Brave Soldiers Camp, the Five Elements Banners, the Eight Banners of Khorhan, the Eight Banners of Heishui, the Military Office of the Shence Palace, the Tongzi Camp and other generals.

Including the two major intelligence organizations, Yingge and Anhu, as well as the main backbone personnel of the Commercial Supervision Office, all are present.

There were hundreds of people in total, all of whom were summoned by Jiang Yi's order.

The past half month has been the busiest period for Kongtong Posthouse and even the entire Western Frontier Royal City.

Many people with various purposes lingered in the restaurants and teahouses around Kongtong Posthouse, hoping to get on board the big ship of Prince Yi's Mansion through these generals of Prince Yi's Mansion.

Unfortunately, all the generals and officers have stayed in Kongtong Posthouse for almost half a month and rarely went out.

Even if he went out occasionally, he was always in a hurry and would rush back to Kongtong Posthouse immediately after finishing his business.

This disappointed the people waiting in various restaurants and teahouses, because there was no chance for them to meet these important figures in the Prince Yi's Mansion.

But there are exceptions, such as Liu Guangqiu.

Since receiving the bounty order, Liu Guangqiu has become the largest gentry and landlord in Western Xinjiang.

At the beginning, Liu Guangqiu was very proud and felt that he had finally gotten something out of himself. His back straightened up all of a sudden and he walked with a breeze.

But after a while, Liu Guangqiu began to feel uneasy after being reminded by his relatives and friends who suddenly showed up.

The Liu family seemed to be too ostentatious. Not only did they own tens of thousands of acres of land in the Western Frontier Royal City, they also had two rows of shops along the street, surpassing all the nobles in the sequence of Prince Yi's Mansion, including several brothers of Prince Yi Jiang Yi.

Having so much wealth but no deep foundation.

Liu Guangqiu panicked. He remembered the four words that An Ju had told him: It is a crime to possess a treasure! Although the treasure was gone, the property would still make people jealous and covetous.

Liu Guangqiu was so panic-stricken that he lost his composure and stopped going out to visit people everywhere, carrying a stack of land deeds and house deeds.

First, they went to the mansions of the brothers Jiang Zhongshan and Jiang Zhongchi, but the housekeepers of the mansions were polite but refused to respond.

Then came the generals at all levels in Prince Yi's Palace, but the result was the same. Everyone was polite to him, but when it came to the key points, they always changed the subject.

Liu Guangqiu was completely panicked. He always felt that everyone was avoiding him as if he were the plague god, for fear of being implicated.

This is going to be a shady move behind the scenes!

In desperation, he became a frequent visitor to restaurants and teahouses around Kongtong Posthouse, hoping to see An Jucai again. Unfortunately, An Jucai was too late to hide from him, and he hid himself directly after receiving the news.

Liu Guangqiu wanted to go directly to the post house to ask for an audience with Prince Yi, but he didn't dare. In desperation, he could only squat in the teahouse opposite the post house all day, waiting for the opportunity.

"Uncle Liu, are you here again today?"

On the second floor of the teahouse, Liu Guangqiu was sitting listlessly by the window, paying attention to the movements of Kongtong Posthouse opposite, when he heard a laugh.

Turning around, I saw that it was the proprietress of the teahouse, a pretty young woman.

If Jiang Yi was here, he would recognize that the other person was the familiar proprietress of the roadside tea stall.

After making up her mind to open a high-end teahouse, Qin took action and borrowed money everywhere. Of course, she never forgot to hint at her relationship with the kitchen steward of Prince Yi's Mansion every time.

As a result, borrowing money was very smooth. Even some money houses were very happy to help and charged very low interest rates.

After some preparation, "Qin's Teahouse" opened, and it was located in the most prosperous place in the Western Xinjiang Royal City.

"Yeah, I can't sit still at home." Liu Guangqiu sighed, his face full of worry.

Qin smiled and came over to refill the tea. Her teahouse was rented from Liu Guangqiu, so she naturally did not dare to neglect him.

"Uncle Liu, if you ask me, you are just worrying too much. What's wrong with this huge fortune? Your niece is so envious..." As she was speaking, she felt Liu Guangqiu suddenly turn his head and stare at her motionlessly.

Qin turned her head and saw that the other party was staring at her with a fierce look.

He was shocked and thought to himself: I haven't heard that this rich man has this kind of hobby, and he doesn't look like a lustful person. Could it be that I was wrong?
This is terrible. Ever since she secretly revealed her relationship with Tuo Xiaoliu, the head chef of Prince Yi's mansion kitchen, all those who had intentions towards her gave up.

Even the common men didn't dare to joke with her and they would just smile carefully when they saw her.

Qin knew that all this was because she had borrowed the power of Prince Yi's Mansion, but she gradually came to like this feeling. The feeling of enjoying the shade under a big tree was addictive.

She could rely on her nickname Tuo Xiaoliu to be lenient towards others, but she really couldn't afford to offend the person in front of her.

But it is even more impossible to make her submit. Is her life going to be back to square one just when it was getting better?

Qin was a smart person. She knew that the power behind the man in front of her was far beyond what Tuo Xiaoliu could compare to.

"Niece, can we discuss something?" Liu Guangqiu's eyes were shining and he stared at the proprietress in front of him with an anxious look.

Qin was about to cry, but she didn't dare to refuse directly, so she could only smile carefully and said, "Uncle Liu...Uncle Liu, I don't know what it is?"

I have already made up my mind that if the other party really makes excessive demands, I will just close the teahouse and go back to setting up a tea stall.

However, he also understood that if it really came to that, he might not even be able to run the tea stall business.

Liu Guangqiu didn't notice Qin's abnormality. He rubbed his hands, looked excited, and said, "Niece, how about Uncle Liu giving this teahouse to you?"

What? Qin was almost stunned by these words, thinking that she had to spend so much money. But she didn't move at all, waving her hands and shaking her head: "Uncle Liu, please spare your niece..." How dare she take this teahouse.

"Don't worry, I'll give it to you for free..." In order to "protect himself", Liu Guangqiu was willing to risk it all. Since you guys don't want any of it, then I'll give it to you for free, and give away most of my property!
Although it hurts, it is better than having your family destroyed because someone tries to steal your property.
