Chapter 7169 Scam
"Yifei, didn't you die of illness?" Luo Xingchen frowned.
The death of Concubine Yi did not cause much trouble at that time. Although Concubine Yi's family had first-rate connections, she suffered the loss of having no children after all.
In addition, the emperor did not have much affection for her at that time.
After the imperial doctors concluded that he died of illness, they quickly buried him.
After a while, except for a few people, no one remembered that there had been a concubine Yi.
"Concubine Yi is indeed not in good health, but she died of illness too young, only in her twenties. Her family was after the founding of Ningguo, and she kept a low profile in the capital. After knowing this, she did not What to say."
Bi She said lightly.
“It’s not a good idea to ask the emperor about this matter.” Luo Xingchen said, “Let’s check first.”
“Sister Bi She, do you know about the Dou family?” Luo Xingchen said The topic of Xingchen changed.
"I haven't been in the capital for a long time. I've been busy with the Feng family recently. I don't know much about other families in the capital." Bi She shook her head.
This is also normal. There are at least hundreds of sophisticated families in the capital, and some of them are intertwined, and their relationships even extend to the former and southern dynasties.
You know, the capital of Da Qi is the capital of the Southern Dynasties. It has hundreds of years of history right here.
After the world was in chaos and the Southern Dynasties fell apart, the capital never suffered much war, and many ancient families survived.
"Your housekeeper should know why you are seeking far away from the near." Bi She raised her lips.
Luo Xingchen suddenly felt that he had gone into a misunderstanding. When it came to knowing some things about the capital, Wang Dong was definitely an inquisitor.
"Okay, Sister Bi She, you go back and have a good rest. Let the maid in the backyard room prepare whatever you need." Luo Xingchen said.
"Okay, I'll call Wang Dong here for you."
Bi Snake stepped out of the door.
After a while, Wang Dong trotted over, with a lot of sweat on his forehead and gasping for air.
"Steward Wang, it seems that you have been training with the boys in the backyard for a while. Your current health is not very good." Luo Xingchen said.
Wang Dong smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Master, please spare me. If you let me train with those boys, why not just kill me."
"Then what? What to do?" Luo Xingchen said, "Let Miss Gongsun make a plan for you and let her supervise it every day. Don't say no to this."
"Okay, Master, I will give it a try." He had no choice but to nod.
Now that Luo Xingchen has given the order, Wang Dong has no choice but to obey. However, he already has an idea in his mind. He wants to find an opportunity to talk to Gongsun Baba. This plan must not be too elaborate. It's difficult, his body can't bear it.
He was frightened. Ever since he saw the intensity of training by those boys, he secretly sighed... There is nothing a person can bear, and he can't do it anyway.
"You can tell Miss Gongsun about this later. I have other business with you."
Luo Xingchen pursed his lips and said, "I want to know about the Dou family. I wonder if you have any news about the Dou family?"
"The Dou family? Is it the oldest family in the capital?" Wang Dongguan asked.
"Is there more than one Dou family in the capital?" Luo Xingchen wondered. "Of course there is more than one Dou family. As far as I know, there are at least three famous Dou families in the capital." Butler Wang Dong said with a smile.
"I don't care about the other Dou family, I'm asking about the largest ancient family." Luo Xingchen asked.
"I know about the Dou family. Many people in the capital know that something interesting happened to the Dou family a while ago."
Wang Dong had a strange smile on his face. .
"The eldest young master of the Dou family and the legitimate son of the head of the family, Dou Hui, was defrauded by a woman."
"Dou Hui? Isn't it Dou Jinhan?" Luo Xingchen was a little confused. Isn't the young master of the Dou family Dou Jinhan? Together with him, he was called the Four Young Masters by some good people.
"Dou Hui is Dou Jinhan's biological father. The head of his Dou family is Dou Jinhan's grandfather. The old man is in good health. Now in his sixties, he is still as powerful as a young man. This Dou Hui can only remain the young master and cannot become the head of the family." Wang Dong said with a smile.
"Speaking of this Dou Hui, he is very famous in the capital, mainly for playing. This master likes to raise birds and play with antique calligraphy and paintings. The Dou family has a big business, so he can play with these things. Nothing, a life of wealth is inevitable."
"Although. Although Dou Hui is not very promising, he is quite decent in business. In addition, he is not a womanizer and does not go to brothels. The throne of the prince is still very suitable."
"But who. I can imagine that Dou Hui would fall for women.”
Having said this, Wang Dong couldn't help laughing again.
"What's going on?" Hearing this, Luo Xingchen also became interested.
"Dou Hui doesn't go to brothels, but he likes to go to Goulan to listen to operas. He is not a womanizer, but he still likes to listen to operas and listen to books. Somehow, he fell in love with a Huadan. I chatted with Huadan several times, and after a lot of back and forth, I actually took this Huadan back as my concubine.”
"A concubine, this is all a trivial matter. The Dou family probably never imagined that their Dou family would fall into the hands of this concubine."
"The Dou family wants to do business, and that concubine I contacted a customer for them, but the business was settled and the money was transferred, but the customer disappeared..." Wang Dong said.
"Where is the concubine? This must have something to do with the concubine." Luo Xingchen asked.
“The concubine also disappeared. Later, when the Dou family went to investigate, they discovered that this concubine was not the original Hua Dan, but a fake Hua Dan. The real Hua Dan had been locked up in a cellar a long time ago. , starved to death, and the corpses were all mummified." Wang Dong sighed.
"This is really tragic. It seems that the other party is well prepared and has been plotting against the Dou family for a long time. In this way, it will be difficult for the Dou family not to fall for it," Luo Xingchen said.
There must be a big force behind the concubine pretending to be a Huadan. They set a trap based on the weakness of Dou Hui of the Dou family. With such a carefully calculated layout, it is difficult for the Dou family not to Be fooled.
“Even if this business fails, the Dou family’s family fortune is so huge, it won’t be a big deal.”
"Master, it's not what you think. The Dou family is actually nothing. Over the years, they have spent a lot of money on food and clothing. They have long been living beyond their means. Even a lot of the money that was defrauded was sold to sellers. Some of them were even pawned or borrowed..."
"The Dou family will collapse immediately after being deceived like this. It's really a big joke." Wang Dong said.
"If you live frugally, you still can't get through the difficulties." Luo Xingchen said.
"It's easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it's hard to go from luxury to frugality. If they want them to live a hard life, it will be difficult for the gang leader." Wang Dong said.
“No wonder Dou Jinhan said those words.” Luo Xingchen realized it completely.
