Mr. Yangui

Chapter 62 Return to Chang'an
Chang'an City, Dongshi, Dongli Restaurant.

During dinner time, the business of Dongli Restaurant was as good as ever.

The old storyteller in the hall is still very popular. The goblin story about the legend of the White Snake is over, and now we are talking about ghost stories, about the love between a female ghost Nie Xiaoqian and the scholar Ning Caichen.

The audience shouted wonderfully.

Several new works were hung in the private room on the second floor, which were very exciting. I heard that they were still composed by the cousin of the owner of the restaurant. Many people were very interested in the so-called cousin.

The old shopkeeper took the trouble to explain that his cousin had passed away, and every time it caused a burst of exclamation.

Princess Lu Ting would come to Dongli Restaurant every day, not just to eat and drink, but to ask about new works, and occasionally she would bring Lin Qin, the eldest daughter of the Lin family, and Guo Yunling, the daughter of the Guo family.

I am very happy to have new works. If there is no new work, I will go to another private room, because the poems in each private room are different.

Sometimes when she is in a good mood, she has to change five or six private rooms for a meal. Naturally, the person who is changed does not dare to have an opinion. There are also young people who love Princess Ting in their hearts, and they will have the courage to discuss poetry with the princess.

"Li Bai passed away, Li He passed away, and the newcomer Qin Guan also passed away, Li Wuchang's cousins ​​all passed away, how could it be such a coincidence, shopkeeper Chen, what's going on?"

Lu Ting looked at the song "Magpie Bridge Immortal" on the wall, looked at shopkeeper Chen standing respectfully by the side, and asked a question.

How could it be such a coincidence that Li Wuchang has so many talented cousins.

How could it be such a coincidence that these cousins ​​all passed away.

Shopkeeper Chen laughed dryly, and said, "This... Heaven is jealous of Yingcai, yes, Heaven is jealous of Yingcai!"

I smiled bitterly in my heart, there are still many cousins ​​who didn't show up.

"If the two loves last for a long time, how can they be in the day and night!" Lin Qin read a sentence to the poem and sighed with emotion, with a complicated look on her face.

Guo Yunling didn't speak, thinking of Li Wuchang in his heart.

She heard from her brother that Li Wuchang was taken away by bandits. As for who it was, she didn't know, but her brother deduced that he might be a Khitan spy.

When she first heard the news, her heart trembled, as if she had been hit by a big hammer.

Lu Ting didn't need to invite her. She came here every day just to get news from Li Wuchang. Unfortunately, nearly ten days have passed, and there is still no news from Li Wuchang.

When Lin Qin was reading the poem just now, Guo Yunling thought of the poem that Li Wuchang read to her not long ago.

"Spring silkworms are dead until their silk is exhausted, and the wax torches turn to ashes and tears begin to dry."

She felt that she missed Li Wuchang very much.

It's ridiculous, how could she miss that rascal.

"Yunling, what's the matter with you?" Lin Qin noticed Guo Yunling's abnormality and asked.

"It's nothing, the poem is well written." Guo Yunling concealed it.

"It's not just that the writing is so simple, it's amazing. When Li Wuchang comes back, you must catch him and ask him, where are his cousins? I don't believe that so many cousins ​​are gone." Lu Ting curled his lips.

She didn't know that Li Wuchang had an accident.

What the Li family said to the outside world was that Li Wuchang had gone out of the city to do some business and would not be able to return for a while.

Few people know that Li Wuchang was kidnapped, and even fewer people know that those people are the Hanshui Gang's thugs.

Guo Yunlei heard Zhou Chengwang mention it, but it was not very detailed. He speculated that it was a Khitan spy, so Guo Yunling knew that Li Wuchang had been kidnapped.

Lu Ting said to Shopkeeper Chen again: "Shopkeeper Chen, do you have any new dishes today?"

Shopkeeper Chen replied: "No, this will only be available after the big boss comes back, and he has figured out all the new dishes."

Lu Ting let out a cry of disappointment, and said, "Then it's the same as usual, one serving of each special dish, and an extra serving of Laba porridge."

Ever since she drank Laba porridge once, she has been deeply fascinated, and she must order it every time she comes.

Shopkeeper Chen said apologetically, "Your Majesty, don't try the salty bone porridge. Is there no more Laba porridge today?"

Lu Ting was taken aback, and said, "How is it possible? Although your porridge sells well, it's just dinner time, and it's sold out?"

Many customers like that porridge, and the restaurant prepares a large amount every day.

Shopkeeper Chen said with a wry smile: "Master Ting, it's like this, the guys are not prepared enough today, and I probably won't be able to survive today."

Lu Ting gave up on the cure, waved her hand, let the shopkeeper Chen go down, and began to appreciate poetry again.

back kitchen.

Zhao Xun looked at the boy kneeling in front of him with gloomy eyes, wishing to kill someone.

"Say, who told you to poison the porridge?"

Fortunately, Li Wuchang designed a complete set of procedures, including a special poison detection program, and found the problem, otherwise the big pot of Laba porridge with raw grass black powder in front of him would be served on the table.

Aconitum aconitum is also known as heartbroken grass, and the unprocessed raw Aconitum aconiti is extremely toxic.

What a disaster.

The man was trembling, and wanted to open his mouth several times, but he didn't seem to dare.

The other guys standing aside didn't dare to speak, this matter was too big.

"Do you know how many people you will kill by doing this? Tell me why you did it." Zhao Xun growled.

The guy finally got a little scared, kowtowed, and begged bitterly: "The little one doesn't want to, someone forced him to ask, if I don't do it, he threatens me, he wants to kill my whole family, boss, there's really nothing the little one can do?"

Then he mentioned the names of some hooligans, all of whom are notorious rascals.

Zhao Xun frowned, lost in thought.

These rascals must have been bribed.

The first thing Zhao Xun thought of was Zhang Yanbo.

A few days ago, a scoundrel came to the restaurant to cause trouble. Zhao Xun investigated and found that the troublemaker was related to the Zhang family, and the butler of the Zhang family paid the money.

Zhao Xun knew him, the last time he sent someone to assassinate Li Wuchang in Xuanpingfang was the housekeeper.

This time, someone actually put grass black powder into the porridge regardless of other people's lives.

In order to bring down the Dongli Restaurant, they were frantic.

Although I don't know if it was Zhang Yanbo's attention, but it probably has something to do with it, so I should check it out.

But now Zhao Xun can't move his hands and feet, so he has to watch here every day, just in case.

"You go home now and reflect on it. I will deal with this matter. You don't need to start work these days. Wait until I get it done." Zhao Xun didn't make things difficult for that guy.

The lives of family members are threatened, so it is inevitable to do some crazy things.

The guy kowtowed again and again, thanking him a thousand times and went.

Zhao Xun told others to pay attention to the safety of food, and then returned to his special room, thinking about how to deal with this problem.

Can't come up with a note for a long time.

It's easy to hide from open guns, but hard to guard against hidden arrows. Now that Li Wuchang is not around, things are difficult to handle. Even if it is found out that Zhang Yanbo did it, it is difficult to come forward and teach him a lesson.

I was worrying, the buddy came to report, the big boss came back.

Zhao Xun was overjoyed, he opened the door and saw Li Wuchang walking towards him with Jiang Minglun.

"Young Master Leng, Ming Lun... is back. Alas, I'm so anxious these days. If you don't come back, I will go to Nanshan to look for you."

Several people returned to the room, greeted each other, and were very excited.

Li Wuchang roughly talked about what happened during this period of time, and pointed out the fight between the Hanshui Gang and the Prince Jin's Mansion, but didn't go into too much detail because it was too complicated.

Even so, Zhao Xun and Jiang Minglun were shocked into a cold sweat.

Li Wuchang said again: "It's really thanks to Ming Lun going this time, otherwise it would be really dangerous."

Jiang Minglun waved his hand, and said: "It really doesn't help much, please don't say that."

Li Wuchang was exaggerating when he said that he was of great help. When Jiang Minglun arrived, the battle was already over.

This time Li Wuchang had an accident, even the Li family did not send anyone to rescue him, but Jiang Minglun entered the dense forest alone, Li Wuchang was still very moved.

Li Wuchang signaled Jiang Minglun not to be modest, and said to Zhao Xun: "I know Brother Xun is not easy here, after I returned to Chang'an, I didn't even go home, so I came here directly, how is it, did someone come to the restaurant Trouble?"

Zhao Xun sighed and told all the experiences of these days.

Including Lu Xuanming and Zhang Yanbo who want to buy and sell by force.

The housekeeper of the Zhang family bribed local ruffians to come to the restaurant to make trouble.

And the poisoning incident that happened today.

Li Wuchang said: "I knew that someone wanted to stab me when I wasn't around, and even did such a dirty thing as poisoning?"

Grandma is a bear, she must be too courageous.

After Jiang Minglun listened, he patted the table on the spot and scolded: "Young Master Leng, this matter can't just be left alone, they made it clear that they wanted to bring down our Dongli Restaurant."

Li Wuchang nodded and said: "Of course we can't forget it like this, this time we are lucky, nothing happened."

After a pause, he said: "Let's do this, Brother Xun will investigate the grass and black fans to see if Zhang Ershao is playing tricks, Ming Lun will keep an eye on the restaurant, just in case, I will go home to find out. "

Zhao Xun and Jiang Minglun nodded.

Li Wuchang snorted coldly, and said, "If Zhang Ershao really messed up, then this time it's not as simple as 7 taels, and he really wants the blood of the Zhang family."

Jiang Minglun worried: "What if Lu Xuanming also has a share?"

Li Wuchang's eyes turned cold, and he said, "What did Brother Xun say?"

Zhao Xun said sternly, "Do you want to distribute the flyer again so that people in Chang'an can see his face?"

After a pause, he continued: "Of course, if Leng Shao has a better way, I will never object."

Seeing that Li Wuchang and Zhao Xun didn't take the prince seriously at all, Jiang Minglun felt a sense of pride in his heart, and echoed: "This time, I must fight with you."

Li Wuchang said coldly: "I am in the open to attract their attention. You are hiding in the dark. You must investigate carefully. It is best to get evidence. If it really has something to do with Lu Xuanming, at worst I will sue the imperial court directly. Go to Mr. Tang, the doctor, and just stab him upside down, grandma is a bear."

The current censor, Tang Zhifeng, is jealous of evil. As long as he doesn't like it, he will play directly, contradict Lin Yong, reprimand His Royal Highness, and join the Taiwei.

But His Majesty treats him so favorably, so all the officials are afraid of him.

"Will this be too much effort? There is no room for change." Zhao Xun was a little worried.

Everyone in Chang'an City knew Tang Zhifeng's behavior, and he was notoriously merciless.

If the Caowu incident was really instigated by Lu Xuanming, and if Tang Zhifeng knew about it, there would be a riot all over the city. Of course, Lu Xuanming would lose face by then, but Li Wuchang would not have a good time either.

This is a death feud, there is no room for it.

Jiang Minglun also felt a little risky.

Li Wuchang smiled and said: "Don't worry, I won't use that trick lightly, I will think of other ways."

After a pause, he said fiercely: "It's better that this matter has nothing to do with Lu Xuanming, otherwise, don't blame me, Li, for being violent."
