What made Gu Tianyi particularly unhappy was that when he saw him coming in, only Qiao Yu stood up, and the bearded man did not get up to greet him. He was still drinking tea leisurely and looking at himself with a smile.

"Madam Luo, is this your way of hospitality?" Gu Tianyi was furious when he saw that the bearded man did not take his dignified imperial court official seriously. He looked at Qiao Yu standing beside the bearded man coldly.

"Master Gu, I haven't seen you these days, and you have a great reputation." Tan Zong looked at Gu Tianyi's anger expression on his face and said to him with a smile.

"Big..." Hearing this, Gu Tianyi, who was already angry, was immediately annoyed and pointed at Tan Zong. He was about to scold Tan Zong for being bold and ignoring the imperial court's official position. He suddenly thought of something and stayed there in an instant, looking at Tan Zong with a shocked look, swallowing the word "coward" behind him. He felt that the voice was very familiar, as if... yes...

"Since Lord Gu is here, then I will ask the waiter to serve the food." Seeing that Gu Tianyi seemed to recognize him, Tan Zong smiled slightly and said to a maid standing beside him.

When the maid heard this, she immediately walked out and closed the door while leaving. Only Tan Zong, Qiao Yu and Gu Tianyi were left in the room.

"Brother Gu, please sit down." Tan Zong stretched out his hand at Gu Tianyi, who was staring at him with a suspicious look on his face, and smiled and made a gesture of asking to sit down.

"Brother Huang, it's really you. You didn't go to Shuchuan, why did you come back like this?" Gu Tianyi, who was guessing randomly in his heart, looked even more surprised when he heard this. He sat opposite Tan Zong and asked in a low voice.

"I came to Yangzhou City this time because I was secretly ordered by the official family to do something big in Yangzhou City." Tan Zong reached out and touched the fake beard on his chin, and looked at Gu Tianyi with a smile, "I don't know if Gu's brother can now mobilize the inspection department."

"Brother Huang, don't worry, brother has already arranged it in the Inspection Department. As long as Brother Huang gives orders, the Inspection Department will allow me to dispatch it." Recalling the matter of Tan Zong's previous instructions to him to control the Inspection Department, Gu Tianyi realized that something big was going to happen in Yangzhou and said to him solemnly.

"The official family has given me the right to take action first and then report. I now hand over this right to Brother Gu. As long as I am an official under the sixth rank, if I think it is necessary, I can also take action first and report." Tan Zong was very satisfied with Gu Tianyi's answer. After nodding, his eyes flashed and he said.

"Brother understands that he will never let the auditor's office cause any trouble." Hearing this, Gu Tianyi's expression became more serious, and he also felt an inexplicable excitement. According to what Tan Zong said, the sixth-rank officials in the auditor's office could cut their heads with a crack, which is a great power and glory.

"Have you received an invitation from the imperial envoy?" Tan Zong saw a hint of desire for power in Gu Tianyi's eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he asked calmly.

If Gu Tianyi had no ambitions, Tan Zong would not have chosen to cooperate with him. Only ambitious people would have the motivation to improve and know how to take risks.

"Brother Huang, is the imperial envoy really leaving?" Gu Tianyi nodded, his eyes full of suspicion. He received the invitation from Zhou Dunran before leaving the inspection department.

Zhou Dunran said in the invitation letter that he had received the imperial edict from the official family and would return to Beijing tomorrow morning to report the progress of the "Hou Dehai" incident to the official family. Before leaving, he held a banquet to thank the officials and civilians of Suzhou for their support during this period.

Officials above the seventh rank and the well-known wealthy gentry in Suzhou City both received invitations from Zhou Dunran. Because Zhou Dunran's move was very abrupt and was so urgent, in people's opinion, Zhou Dunran must have been replaced by the government because of poor handling of the case. Therefore, his move was to make a fortune before leaving.

After all, Zhou Dunran is a fourth-rank official of the Ministry of Justice and an imperial envoy. Although he is not good at doing things, he is still deeply loved by the holy family. Therefore, the people who received the invitation have prepared a big red envelope to save money from the money and eliminate disasters, so that Zhou Dunran would be concerned about and cause unnecessary trouble.

"You have found a reason to refuse the banquet for the imperial envoy. You will stay in the inspection department at night. As long as I wait for my instructions, I will immediately arrest everyone in the inspection department." Tan Zong did not answer Gu Tianyi's doubts about Zhou Dunran, but instead instructed him something in a deep voice.

"Master Bi." Gu Tianyi's face suddenly showed a shocked look. He had already learned from Tan Zong's answer that Zhou Dunran's invitation letter was just a bureau. He never expected that what Tan Zong wanted to deal with was his immediate boss Bi Shijie.

"Brother Gu, if you can control the Inspection Department, then it will be a great achievement." Tan Zong smiled slightly and said calmly. He knew that everything he said was unnecessary at this time, and the actual interests were the most important.

"Brother will definitely not disappoint Brother Huang." Gu Tianyi finally understood and said in a deep voice. It turned out that Tan Zong gave him such great power to deal with Bi Shijie. Although he didn't know what Bi Shijie had committed, if he could even let the imperial envoy and Tan Zong treat him so carefully, then this must be a shocking case. It seems that Yangzhou City will experience a bloody storm.

Gu Tianyi is very pleased now. He is the one who initiated this bloody storm, not the one who is affected by the bloody storm, and he does not have to be frightened by the head on his neck.

When leaving Deyue Tower, Gu Tianyi, who was drunk, was helped back by the soldiers he brought, and Qiao Yu personally took him downstairs.

Gu Tianyi held Qiao Yu's hand and said a lot of ambiguous words. He wanted to kiss Qiao Yu when he was about to stop, but Qiao Yu smiled and pushed away.

"Sir, can he control the situation of the Inspection Department?" Back at the box on the second floor, Qiao Yu came to Tan Zong who was standing in front of the window and looked at the soldiers carrying him away. He looked at Gu Tianyi's back and asked in confusion. To be honest, she didn't like this lustful person with ambiguous eyes.

"No one is better than a sage. Gu Tianyi is indeed a little lustful, but he has never bullied a good woman with force." Tan Zong smiled slightly when he heard this, and said, "The most important thing is that this person has self-knowledge and knows what to do and what not to do."

Meanwhile, Bifu.

Bi Shijie sat in the study, looking at the invitation letter placed on the table with a serious expression. I don’t know why. Although he didn’t see any flaws in Zhou Dunran, he always felt uneasy in his heart.

"Master, I have already inquired. The imperial envoy not only sent invitation letters to all the seventh-rank officials in Suzhou City, but also sent them to the wealthy businessmen in the city." After a while, Bi Fu pushed the door and walked in, saying in a deep voice in Bi Shijie's ear, "From this point, Zhou Dunran really wanted to make a fortune before leaving, and many people have prepared red envelopes."

"There has been an accident in Kunshan County. Now it is an extraordinary moment. Zhou Dunran left too suddenly. We must have not received any news from Beijing in advance, so it has to be suspicious." Bi Shijie's brow frowned slightly, looked up at Bi Fu, and said with a serious expression, "If this is a trap, our people who are developing in the upper class of Suzhou City will be caught in one fell swoop."

The news that the Japanese bandits were annihilated is still blocked in Baishan Town. Except for the residents of Baishan Town, the outside world does not know about this matter at all. Even in the Bishiji period, he only vaguely understands some general situations, but he is not clear about the specific process.

"Master, do you mean this is a game set up by Zhou Dunran?" Bi Fu's face showed a look of surprise when he heard this.

"It's better to be careful before things are clear." Bi Shijie shook his head, and he couldn't make it up, so he instructed Bi Fu in a deep voice, "In the afternoon, you will take a red envelope of 200 taels to the imperial envoy, and you said that I was unwell and could not attend the evening banquet. Please forgive me, Lord of the imperial envoy."

"I understand, little." Bi Fu heard this, bowed his hand to Bi Shijie and went down to make arrangements.

"Zhou Dunran, what are you going to do?" Bi Shijie's eyes fell on the invitation letter again, frowned, and what happened in recent times made him very upset and exhausted.

After nightfall, Tan Zong brought Qin Yu, Shen San, Shen Si and others to Piaoxiangyuan, slapped a silver note of 100 taels on the table, and asked for the name to see the top brand Manluo here.

In order to prevent being recognized, Tan Zong not only put a big beard on his face, but also made a centipede-shaped scar on his face, extending from the corner of his left eye to the lips of his right face, which looked shocking.

Not only that, Tan Zongcong also wore an eye mask, covered his left eye, and dressed up as a one-eyed dragon with rough behavior and rude tone, completely becoming another person.

"This master came from afar. Maybe he didn't know that Miss Manluo had redeemed her. She just lived here with us and did not accept customers." A middle-aged woman in her forties walked up and said to Tan Zong with a smile, "There are so many girls in our Piaoxiangyuan, so why not let other girls accompany me?"

The middle-aged woman was a manager of Piaoxiangyuan, responsible for assisting Aunt Mei in managing Piaoxiangyuan. As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a noise coming from the door, as if there was something arguing in the next room. Then she heard someone screaming with tears and gods, as if someone had been beaten.

"Young master wait a moment, I will go back." Hearing the screams outside the door, the middle-aged woman frowned slightly, smiled and looked at Tan Zongfu, quickly left, and went out to check.

It seemed that it was jealous for the women again. Tan Zong picked up the teacup and took a sip. This time he came to Piaoxiangyuan to meet Aunt Mei, get the secret account book from Aunt Mei, and find out that Bi Shijie had bribed the people in Yangzhou city.

The so-called seeing Manluo is just an excuse for Tan Zong. Just as the middle-aged woman said, Manluo has already redeemed her and cannot accept his guests. In this way, he can find another girl, and the subsequent things will be natural.
