The next day, early in the morning.
Du Qi woke up refreshed after a nap. After washing up, he asked Liu Jian to inform Liu Zhengxi to join him for breakfast. But Liu Jian said that Liu Zhengxi had left early in the morning.
Du Qi knew that it was about Zhang Qucheng.
Du Qi didn't go out. He stayed in the residence to read and organize the news. Last night, he went to see Li Shimin and received a lot of information. This information could be summarized for easy browsing.
While Du Qi was sorting out the information, Liu Jian entered and said, "Young Master, this is a letter that someone just sent over. He said that he wants you to read it personally."
Du Qi took it and looked at the envelope.
There was a "Wang" character on the envelope.
As soon as Du Qi saw it, he knew that it was sent by Wang Ke, because this was the agreement between him and Wang Ke. Du Qi opened the letter and browsed through it. When he finished, a smile appeared on his face.
Zhang Qucheng was really arrogant and domineering!
A person who had just surrendered to the Eastern Palace dared to be so arrogant and domineering towards the officials. He didn't put them in his eyes at all. He was too self-righteous.
It was easy to deal with such a person.
Du Qi thought for a while, then wrote a letter. He immediately arranged for Liu Jian to send Xiao Yuanqi's men to the Wang Clan. The content of Du Qi's letter was very simple. He wanted Wang Bei to spread the word about Zhang Qucheng's arrogance.
On one hand, it was to make it difficult for Zhang Qucheng to integrate into the Eastern Palace. On the other hand, it was to drive a wedge between the Eastern Palace officials. Li Jiancheng had recruited such a person in order to win over the King of Qin's Residence. It was a failure.
Du Qi wanted to use Wang Bei to create public opinion in the Eastern Palace. He wanted everyone to think that Li Jiancheng was stupid.
As for the other things, Du Qi didn't have Wang Bei do them.
Wang Bei wasn't suitable for these things.
After sending out the letter, Du Qi waited for news. When it was close to noon, Liu Zhengxi still hadn't returned. Instead, it was after noon that Liu Zhengxi returned with an even brighter expression on his face.
He had found some important information.
When Liu Zhengxi saw Du Qi, he said seriously, "Young Master, I've found a lot of useful information. It is said that Zhang Qucheng went to the Eastern Palace last night and was rewarded with a songstress by the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, Li Jiancheng. "
"At night, when Zhang Qucheng was fooling around with the songstress, he actually beat her up and seriously injured her."
"This news came from Zhang Qucheng's residence."
Liu Zhengxi said, "From this, it can be seen that Zhang Qucheng is a cruel man to women. He is used to going crazy."
Du Qi said, "The news of Zhang Qucheng's abuse of female singers will not be released for the time being. We only need to investigate the evidence clearly. Now that we have determined Zhang Qucheng's nature, we can target Zhang Qucheng. "
Liu Zhengxi said, "Young Master, I have a general understanding of Zhang Qucheng's nature and his whereabouts during this time. Zhang Qucheng spent most of his time in Chang 'an, drinking and looking for women in brothels. "Currently, the Mansion of King Qin is quite poor. Although the generals under his command belong to the imperial court, the salary from the imperial court is not enough for Zhang Qucheng's constant squandering. Therefore, he climbed up to the Eastern Palace and was rewarded by the Eastern Palace. He has a lot of money."
Du Qi said, "When Zhang Qucheng went to the brothels to drink, did he only go to one place or did he go everywhere?"
Liu Zhengxi said, "Only one place."
Du Qi asked, "Where is it?"
Liu Zhengxi replied, "This brothel is called Blissful House. It is in Southern City. Every time Zhang Qucheng went to the Blissful House, he would look for women. I went to see the Supreme Chief Zhang Jingping and asked him to inquire about this. According to Zhang Jingping's investigation, whenever Zhang Qucheng went to the Blissful Tower, he would look for women. Because of his strange fetish, many of the women in the Blissful Tower weren't willing to serve him. However, since Zhang Qucheng was willing to pay, there would always be women willing to serve him. But every time after that, the women who served Zhang Qucheng would be covered in bruises. "
Du Qi said, "It's very easy to kill someone with this method. Do you have any information about this? "
Liu Zhengxi said, "I didn't find anything."
Du Qi said, "Keep a close eye on him. I don't believe that someone like Zhang Qucheng doesn't have a case. Pay attention to the Zhang Family and dig into Zhang Qucheng's affairs. He is not a kind person. As long as we find the problem, it will be easy to deal with Zhang Qucheng. "
Liu Zhengxi said, "Yes!"
After a pause, Liu Zhengxi continued, "Young Master, Zhang Jingping is the Supreme Chief of Chang 'an. He has a lot of prestige in Chang' an. Although I represent you to ask him to do something, he doesn't accept money. It's easy for him to do it once or twice. If I need more information, I will go to him again. It's not cheap. "
"Why don't you go and greet him?"
Liu Zhengxi said, "If I go to him again in the future, I won't feel burdened."
Du Qi said, "Liu Zhengxi, you don't understand my relationship with Zhang Jingping. That's why you said that. Fine, I'll go personally. After all, everyone knows that Zhang Jingping and I are close. I'll go and find him and catch up. "
Liu Zhengxi said, "Young Master is wise!"
Du Qi said, "Pack up. We'll go now."
"Yes!"
Liu Zhengxi wore a happy smile on his face.
After he arranged everything, he left the residence with Du Qi and took a carriage to the South City. There was a certain distance between Yongxing City and the South City. When they arrived at the South City, they went to Zhang Jingping's residence.
When Zhang Jingping heard that Du Qi was coming, especially when Du Qi came back to visit after leaving for such a long time, Zhang Jingping was very excited. He went out to welcome him personally. "Young Master, why did you come in person? If there's anything, just make the arrangements and I'll go directly. The weather is getting colder and colder. It's quite cold outside. "
"Young Master, please come in."
Zhang Jingping waved his hand and invited him.
"Please!"
Du Qi nodded and entered the main hall with Zhang Jingping. They sat opposite each other.
Du Qi said, "Supreme Chief, there are three reasons why I'm here today."
Zhang Jingping said, "Please go ahead, Young Master!"
Du Qi said, "First, I'm here to see how you're doing. You're the only one in power in Chang 'an. Although you've monopolized it, it's easy for problems to arise. "
Zhang Jingping said seriously, "Young Master, the general direction is going well. The operation is going well. The people are quite approving of my people, but there are a few who are dissatisfied. Of course, there are also some problems with my own people. Some of them, after a long time, have developed some crooked thoughts. They actually accepted bribes and did some unfair things. "
After a pause, Zhang Jingping continued, "I've dealt with this matter strictly and suppressed it. Overall, it's not bad. "
"That's good!"
A smile appeared on Du Qi's face.
Zhang Jingping said, "Thank you for your concern, Young Master. But when you returned to Chang 'an, I didn't pay you a visit. It's my fault."
Du Qi said, "You're busy too. I can understand."
After a pause, Du Qi continued, "Second, I'd like you to meet my strategist, Liu Zhengxi. He's handling many things now, so he'll be the one to formally introduce you. "
Zhang Jingping smiled and said, "Young Master, I met Mr. Liu this morning. We already know each other."
Du Qi said, "Even if we know each other, we still have to talk about it."
Zhang Jingping nodded and changed the topic. He asked, "What's the third thing, Young Master?"
Du Qi replied, "Third, I need to investigate a person named Zhang Qucheng. Liu Zhengxi should have told you about it this morning, right? "
Zhang Jingping said, "Yes, he did. He's looking for some information about Zhang Qucheng."
Du Qi nodded and said, "Since I've said it, I won't repeat it. Just tell me what you want to do and get straight to the point. "
Zhang Jingping sat up straight, his expression serious. He said solemnly, "Please give me your orders, Young Master!"
