As a genius, I am the weakest in my family?
Chapter 18
On February 2nd, the dragon raises its head!
More than three months have passed since Chen Zhibai's trip to Zuikelou.
Over the past three months, Chen Zhian has been too low-key, and his legend has gradually faded from Chang'an City.
The people who are currently in the limelight in Chang'an are Xia Yuanhou, the youngest son of the Minister of War, Gou Youquan, the eldest son of Marquis Wu'an, Li Chengxian, the daughter of Prince Zhennan, and Zhou Qian, the younger brother of the Minister of Rites.
On New Year's Eve, Li Chengxian, Xia Yuanhou, Gou Youquan and Zhou Qian, four geniuses in the Yuqi realm, joined hands in a journey on the wind, beheaded more than 300 bandits outside the city of Chang'an, and captured seven mountain strongholds in a row.
He became famous overnight.
They are known as the Four Young Masters of Chang'an and are the leaders of the younger generation in Chang'an City.
Compared with them, the so-called Four Dandies of Chang'an are like a toad compared to a golden toad, the only difference is that they look similar.
In just three months, Chen Zhian and his group of playboys seemed to be the last wave that was beaten to death.
No one cares anymore.
Chen Zhian didn't mind this.
He spent most of the past three months in Crescent Lake, personally watching the construction of high-rise buildings on the deserted island.
Hundreds of craftsmen and thousands of laborers worked day and night, and nearly ten thousand taels of silver were spent. Crescent Lake has undergone earth-shaking changes.
"I watched him build a tall building, I watched him entertain guests, I watched his building go even higher..."
Lying on the specially built recliner, Chen Zhian sighed for a while and said with a smile: "Xiao Qing'er, in at most another month, our Dengke Building, Qianjin Building, and Luobao Building can be completed at the same time!"
"Oh, congratulations, young marquis!"
Li Lanqing held a silk fan in his hand and brushed away the dust for his boss while giving him perfunctory compliments.
Somewhat absent-minded.
The most beautiful woman in Chang'an City, the most beautiful courtesan in hundreds of brothels, became a maid who served tea and water, going out in the wind and rain all day, with unkempt hair and dirty face...
How did this make her happy?
The spring breeze was blowing, and thinking about the news from her younger sisters, she felt that her career was facing great challenges.
Fanning away the dust, Li Lanqing bit her lip and said pitifully, "Boss, I heard that Qinglefang has a new courtesan recently... She's old and ugly, what can we do?"
"Why are you panicking? I have my own arrangements!"
Chen Zhian kept shaking his head.
This girl probably really loves this career.
Ever since I heard the news that Qinglefang had introduced a new courtesan, I have muttered to myself no less than three times that I have grown old and lost my beauty.
She is only twenty-one years old this year, and God knows where this sense of crisis comes from.
But Qinglefang has introduced a new courtesan.
We can't just ignore it.
It's time to meet Mr. Liu...
After staying for a while, Chen Zhian went alone to look for Lao Yangtou, the chief engineer of Luobao Tower.
Luobao Tower is where he lives, so he naturally cannot be careless.
From design to construction, everything was handled by the confidants of Chenliu Marquis' Mansion, and the chief engineer was a military craftsman who was specially transferred from Chenliu County by Chen A'man.
Chen Zhian provided the ideas and the military craftsmen executed them.
Secret sentries, secret passages, treasure rooms, and defensive formations are all in place.
The old military craftsman with gray beard said that after the Luobao Tower was completed, not even a fly would be able to fly in.
When Chen Zhian heard this, his heart skipped a beat and he quickly jumped up and covered the old man's mouth.
It's not okay to say such things...
However, judging from the situation over the past three months, this old man and his construction team probably still have some skills.
He is decisive in doing things and has strong execution ability.
If they were not too old, Chen Zhian would like to keep them by his side as a construction team to take over some projects.
When Chen Zhian found Old Yang, he was scolding a craftsman with sparse hair and wrinkled face.
One puppy egg in one bite.
Seeing this, Chen Zhian quietly retreated. When this old man scolds people, he doesn't care whether you are a young marquis or not. You can't afford to offend him.
After inspecting Qianjin Building and Dengke Building, Chen Zhian led Li Lanqing off the island and headed towards the Chang'an government office.
......
Wang Fugui is a fat man with a kind heart. He has been the governor of Kyoto for more than 20 years.
It is not easy to live in Chang'an.
It is even more difficult to be an official in Chang'an.
Your Majesty today is in the prime of his life, but he has a heart of a tiger.
I want to be the eternal holy emperor who rules over a country with peace and prosperity.
Being the chief officer under his nose, the risk index rises rapidly.
Before Wang Fugui, the longest tenure of the governor of Kyoto was no more than five years, and few of them had a good ending.
Moreover, most of them were killed with a single stroke of the sword by the enraged emperor, without even the chance for a joint trial by the three courts.
Wang Fugui has been sitting in this position for more than 20 years, and he may even continue to sit there...
at this time,
Wang Fugui was lying in the rocking chair.
Because he was too fat, the rocking chair was squeezed and squeaked, as if it was about to fall apart, which looked a bit funny.
"The way to be an official is loyalty, loyalty, and damn loyalty...
It was you who brought Liu Qi in in the first place, and it is you who wants to get him out now.
After all, Liu Qi had written a poem that violated taboos, and letting him go would go against my official duties...
Young Marquis, you are making this official very embarrassed..."
In another rocking chair.
Chen Zhian's mouth twitched.
Screw your official duties, screw your loyalty.
In just less than four months, you have already taken away three thousand four hundred and twenty-five taels and eight cents of silver from our family. Do you still have the nerve to talk about how to be an official?
I don't want to bother with this money-grubber.
But the dog official has hostages...
Helplessly, he pointed to the ground.
Chen Zhian was surprised and asked, "Brother Wang, there is a bag growing out of nowhere in your backyard. Does it look like the one you lost before?"
Wang Fugui immediately became interested: "Oh, it really looks like the purse that I had with two hundred taels of silver."
Chen Zhian's mouth twitched again.
He picked up the bag, added a banknote, and threw it to Wang Fugui: "Brother Wang, don't drop your money bag again this time. If you drop it again, Liu Qi will die in prison."
Wang Fugui took the purse and confirmed that there were exactly two hundred taels of silver. He then said with a smile, "I was confused. The one who violated the taboo was Liu San. It had nothing to do with Liu Qi..."
......
Chang'an government prison.
The jailer Zhang Xiaoer raised his eyebrows slightly and said coldly to the man with messy hair and gray temples: "Liu Qi, you can leave now!"
The prisoner walked out of the bars without saying a word.
When he reached the door, he stopped, turned around and said slowly: "We have known each other for a while, and I don't have much to give you, so I will just say a few words to you..."
“When the water rises, it rises; when the water dries up, it dies!”
Zhang Xiaoer frowned slightly, feeling unhappy.
He had a lot of good things happen to him recently. First, he sold the rotten lake in his home for seven hundred taels of silver. Then he used the money from selling the lake to successfully buy the hat of the jailer.
With great excitement, he successfully became a first-class warrior.
It can be said that career is on the rise.
It's a time of high spirits.
I don't know where this lowly person got the news about my family selling the lake, and he even dared to act like a ghost to scare this jailer.
Do you really think you can speak so brazenly just because you have the connections of that loser?
Thinking of that waste who humiliated himself.
Zhang Xiaoer was furious again and said in a cold voice, "You ignorant lowly person, if you say another word, I will beat you to death here."
Liu Qi glanced at him dimly, shook his head and sighed, "You could have survived, what a pity, you should have made preparations early!"
As he spoke, his feet were as fast as the wind and he slipped out.
Zhang Xiaoer ran out of the door in anger, but the guy was nowhere to be seen.
