Hu Zhiwei knew that some things were not yet public, so he stopped asking and just said:

"If there's anything you can do to make money in the future, let me know."

Ye Wuwei responded readily, but also asked, "You come from a noble family, so you shouldn't be short of money, right?"

“You don’t know, not everyone in the aristocratic family is that rich.

I do have some assets, but my family's expenses are high, especially the pomp and circumstance between noble families and the social interactions that cost a lot of money."

As they were talking, time passed quickly, but Miss Qi still hadn't arrived.

Ye Wuwei checked the time and said to Hu Zhiwei, "I have an appointment at the beginning of the Si hour, so I have to go."

I originally thought that just a meeting would be enough for an hour, but the other party was not punctual.

Hu Zhiwei: "But Miss Qi hasn't come yet, why don't we wait a little longer."

Ye Wuwei smiled and said, "No need. I guess Miss Qi doesn't like me. Thank you for your kindness."

After saying this, Ye Wuwei didn't stay any longer and got up to leave.

When walking out of the restaurant, Ye Wuwei passed by several people, but his gaze did not linger for a second.

The people who passed by Ye Wuwei were Mrs. Hu Zhiwei, Miss Qi and the maid who arrived late.

Madam Hu looked at Ye Wuwei as he left and asked tentatively, "Could that person just now be Minister Ye?"

Mrs. Hu heard Hu Zhiwei say that Ye Wuyi was a handsome man, and that few people in Changdu could match his looks and demeanor, so she asked.

Miss Qi looked at Ye Wuwei's back without saying a word.

It was Mr. Qi Sanye's idea to let her marry Ye Wuwei, and Miss Qi was very reluctant at first.

Miss Qi thought:

How could a beggar-born person have any grace or knowledge? He would definitely be vulgar and uncouth. How could he compare to those disciples from aristocratic families who had been pampered since childhood?

That's why Miss Qi came late on purpose.

But what she didn't expect was that Ye Wuwei's demeanor was much better than those children from aristocratic families!

Ye Wuwei is like a shining pearl, full of brilliance, radiance and dazzling!

Miss Qi began to regret being late.

At this time, Hu Zhiwei came out.

Seeing Hu Zhiwei, Mrs. Hu asked, "Why did you come out?"

Hu Zhiwei glanced at Miss Qi with a bad look on his face: "Minister Ye has some official business and is leaving."

"I just saw a young man going out. He was very handsome. Was it him?"

"It should be. He just left."

Mrs. Hu glanced at Miss Qi, who pursed her lips tightly. "Why don't you wait a little longer?"

Hu Zhiwei scolded Mrs. Hu:

"Do you think everyone is as idle as you? Minister Ye is the most popular person in front of His Majesty. He is so busy with official business that he can't handle it. I had to sacrifice my dignity to ask for this time this morning.

You are so lucky! You are late for half an hour."

Although he openly scolded Mrs. Hu, he was actually expressing his dissatisfaction with Miss Qi.

Seeing Miss Qi's increasingly grim expression, Madam Hu asked, "How about another appointment?"

"I'm not that bold."

After saying that, Hu Zhiwei turned away.

After all, he was a third-rank official in the court, yet he had waited for a girl for half an hour.

If Ye Wuwei hadn't been such a humorous person and the two of them hadn't had a pleasant conversation, Hu Zhiwei would have left long ago.

……

**

Ye Wuwei, who was leaving, didn't take Miss Qi's lateness to heart.

The main reason he agreed to the blind date was that he didn't want to offend Hu Zhiwei and the Qi family. Now it was just right, so he didn't have to find other reasons to refuse.

Ye Wuwei rode his horse to Feng'anfang.

When they arrived at the entrance of Feng'anfang, the imperial guards had already arrived.

Looking at Yao Guangzhi who was leading the team, Ye Wuwei smiled and said, "Why did you bring people here in person?"

"Commander Nie said I looked the most intimidating, so he asked me to come."

This is true!

Yao Guangwai does look a bit ferocious!

"You guys wait outside first, and a dozen of you can follow me in."

Yao Guangzhi selected a dozen people including himself to follow Ye Wuwei, and said to the guards outside:

"Practice like we did a few days ago at Zhaohua Palace."

Ye Wuwei looked at the imperial guards in training and finally understood why Queen Zhuang and the others were so eager to leave Zhaohua Palace.

Anyone who keeps listening to this deafening shouting will have a nervous breakdown.

The arrival of the Imperial Guards alarmed the entire Feng'anfang. When Ye Wuwei saw Kang Fangzheng, Kang Fangzheng already knew that Ye Wuwei had brought the Imperial Guards with him.

Yesterday, when Kang Fangzheng heard Ye Wuwei say that he would bring the imperial guards, he didn't take it seriously. He just thought that Ye Wuwei was trying to scare him.

Who would have thought that Ye Wuwei really brought the Imperial Guards with him today, and the person following him was wearing the uniform of a fourth-rank military officer.

Kang Fangzheng came forward with a flattering smile on his face: "Minister Ye."

Ye Wuwei said calmly, "How are you guys discussing the demolition?"

Kang Fangzheng didn't take Ye Wuwei's words to heart yesterday, nor did he tell the residents. Now when Ye Wuwei asked:

"This is not something that can be agreed upon overnight; it takes time."

Ye Wuwei no longer paid attention to Kang Fangzheng and said to Yao Guangzhi:

"Beat the gongs and drums to inform the people in the neighborhood that the court has an important announcement to make and ask them to gather at the entrance of Feng'anfang."

After saying that, Ye Wuwei walked towards the entrance of Feng'anfang, ignoring Kang Fangzheng who was calling him loudly behind him.

Arriving at the entrance of Feng'anfang, Ye Wuwei asked the guards to find two stools and set them up, and he stood on them.

After many people arrived, Ye Wuwei looked around coldly:

“The imperial court has issued an order to confiscate the land west of the city for other uses, including Feng’anfang.

All residents of Feng'anfang must relocate within the next few days."

Perhaps it was because he had been with Qi Wushuang for a long time, but when Ye Wuwei calmed down, he looked a bit like Qi Wushuang, and his aura was quite intimidating.

A big man came out and asked: "Let's move. Where to move to?"

Ye Wuwei glanced at Kang Fangzheng who was hiding in the crowd:

"I have already informed Kang Fangzheng of the specific terms. The conditions offered by the court this time are very generous. The compensation will be three times the area of ​​your current house.

Didn't Kang Fangzheng tell you? Or did he want to embezzle money from it?"

Ye Wuwei's words successfully aroused the emotions of the people.

Someone saw Kang Fangzheng hiding in the crowd and pushed him out: "Kang Fangzheng, is this true?"

Kang Fangzheng glanced at Ye Wuwei who had a solemn expression. He looked so amiable yesterday, why did he look so different today?

Facing the imposing Ye Wuwei and the solemnly dressed imperial guards, Kang Fangzheng did not dare to argue and could only say:

"That's true, but I haven't had time to tell you yet."

Ye Wuwei didn't intend to give Kang Fangzheng another chance:

"The chiefs of the other five wards are actively discussing with the people, but the people of Feng'an ward are still unaware of anything. This shows that the chief of Kang ward is doing an extremely unqualified job.

I hereby declare that he will be dismissed from his post as Fangzheng. You Feng'an Fang will nominate another Fangzheng to negotiate with me."

The big man who had come out to question Ye Wuwei earlier asked, "Are you serious?"
