Chapter 50: Why Should He Help?

Coming out of the kitchen, Le Yu was also a little worried, the puffer fish is very precious, there is still an hour to open the table, the puffer fish is the last, and it is only one and a half hours to be full, in such a short time, where to find so many lively puffer fish?

Zhu Ji informed Qingmei, there are many people today, and there is such a strange thing, she is a little worried about Le Yu's safety, and knows that Shunzhu's daughter-in-law is very important, so she personally went to take care of Shunzhu's daughter-in-law, and let Qingmei follow Le Yu closely.

Qingmei was a little puzzled, "The fish has been dead for a while, can't you do it now?" Le Yu knew that Qingmei was just a little girl before, and she didn't know the taboo of these precious fish, so she patiently explained, and also took the opportunity to relieve the tension in her heart: "The puffer fish is delicious and has a pliable taste, especially when it is cut raw, it must be very fresh, once it dies, not only the taste will change greatly, but even the meat will be full of toxins, and it will have no value at all."

Qingmei then understood, and muttered: "How can such a poisonous thing be compared to gold, so many people want to eat it?" The two had walked to the side of Bihu, Le Yu stared at the delicate hibiscus, and said lightly: "Rare things are expensive, and they are so unique, they are naturally sought after."

Qingmei came up with an idea: "Why don't you go to the master, the master must have a way." Le Yu was silent in her heart, since Le Xian dared to come up with such a bad idea, she must be sure that even Chopard would not have a way, otherwise she would not have to make such a decision.

Today's banquet is all set up along the banks of Bihu Lake, with jade railings and transparent shark yarn to block the line of sight, looking at the faint figure of a group of male guests on the opposite bank, Le Yu thought intently, puffer fish are precious, but the powerful people in Beijing like to eat or entertain guests, so there must be someone in Beijing to run this business, and the largest one should have a way to vacate so many puffer fish.

Thinking of this, Le Yu suddenly turned around and instructed Qingmei, "You go and call Minglu to see me immediately, I will wait for you in the osmanthus forest over there." Qingmei knew the severity, and she didn't hesitate at all, turned around and avoided the crowd and went straight to the outer courtyard.

The osmanthus forest of the Xiao family is very secluded, this osmanthus is not yet in season, there is no scenery to enjoy, there will be no one in the forest.

Le Yu turned around and said sharply, "Who? Her heart couldn't stop sinking, could it be that Le Xian's arrangement was more than that? Do you have to calculate that she is alone and attack herself? Thinking of the worst possibility, Le Yu's palms sweated slightly, her eyes became miserable and ruthless, and her left hand had slowly moved to the elbow of her right hand.

A touch of dark color appeared in the eyes, Le Yu didn't have time to take a closer look, her heart was ruthless, and the crossbow arrows attached to her forearm had been shot towards the people as if they were flying off the string.

At the moment when he couldn't make a move, the person who came reacted very quickly, and a leaning body was almost close to the ground, and the whirling crossbow bolt flew almost above his head, and slammed into a huge laurel tree with deep and lush branches behind him.

Le Yu couldn't help but widen her eyes when she saw the person's face clearly, and the dark figure had already spoken lightly, as if sarcastically: "The fourth girl is really ruthless, she shoots when she sees someone, and she is not afraid of hurting the innocent."

Le Yu was in a bad mood, her face was ugly, and her tone was not good, "Why are you here?" Cheng Lingye was dressed in a dark silk matte gown, embroidered with gold thread on the cuffs and corners of the robe, which was both luxurious and low-key, he walked over, "Today your family has a treat, I am a guest, walk around, see the shade of the trees here, and come to enjoy the shade.

Le Yu somehow lost her anger when she saw Cheng Lingye, "The male guests are on the east side of Bihu, and the prince is not with them, but he came here?"

Cheng Lingye glanced at Le Yu slantedly, and seemed to be smiling: "I got into trouble in the palace last time, and I was injured by my father in a battle, and I can't drink alcohol at all, and it's too boring to sit with a few of them, so it's better to walk around.

Hearing him mention the incident last time, Le Yu felt weak for no reason, and coughed lightly, "Thank you for the last time."

A smile flashed in Cheng Lingye's star-like bright eyes, and just as he was about to say something, Qingmei ran in with Minglu under her arm, seeing Cheng Lingye here, a trace of surprise flashed on Qingmei's face, but Le Yu couldn't care about it for many years, and pulled the three of Minglu to the depths of the forest, Cheng Lingye is a person who practices martial arts, and his ears and eyes are far more sensitive than ordinary people, even if Le Yu has lowered his voice, he still hears: "Which one in the city controls the trading of puffer fish?"

Cheng Lingye's good-looking thick eyebrows were raised, a hint of playfulness flashed in his eyes, Le Yu heard Minglu's answer, "Miss Hui, this puffer fish is a precious thing, one costs at least a hundred taels of silver, and it is extremely difficult to transport, only Huaqingfeng Commercial Bank can transport a large number of puffer fish into Beijing for sale. And last year, the Xiangyang County Wangfu also temporarily wanted to buy puffer fish, but Hua Qingfeng insisted on not selling it, and the Xiangyang County King personally came to the door to no avail.

Le Yu pressed her eyebrows, and began to feel helpless, "Time is pressing, what can I do?" Le Yu thought about forcing Hua Qingfeng to submit with the momentum of the Xiao family, but first, time was pressing, and second, if there was a big trouble, it couldn't end, so she had to veto this idea, and asked Minglu instead, "Can this Hua Qingfeng find out who the master behind it is?"

Ming Lu shook his head, with a hint of bitterness, "Hua Qingfeng's background is very mysterious, over the years, Hua Qingfeng has swept the four major commercial houses invincible, making a lot of noise, and countless people have visited, but no one has found out who the owner behind it is."

Le Yu couldn't help but feel half cold, Le Yu bit her lip fiercely, controlling the more and more surging tyranny and anger in her heart, trying her best to calm down, Le Xian did this, it was nothing more than to ask the Gu family to bear the charge, but the Xiao family lost face because of this, what good could she have?

Le Yu began to think from a different angle, what would she do if she was Le Xian? If Le Yu wanted to do such a thing, she would definitely prepare a replacement puffer fish in advance, and then take it out when the matter was irretrievable, and then the banquet would be held normally, without hurting the face of the Xiao family, and the after-the-fact liquidation would still be able to squeeze out the Gu family, maybe, from now on, the power will be in charge of Le Xian, killing two birds with one stone.

Le Yu's eyes lit up, and she was about to be instructed, when she heard a lazy voice with infinite laughter sound, "Do you need a puffer fish very much?" Le Yu suddenly looked back, and Cheng Lingye leaned on the trunk behind Le Yu with a chilling smile.

Le Yu narrowed her eyes and said coldly: "It turns out that the prince likes to eavesdrop on others, I don't seem to be that familiar with you." The corners of Cheng Lingye's lips hooked, and the charming smile made people dizzy: "I'm here to solve the problems of the fourth girl, why doesn't it seem to be popular?"

Le Yu thought about the meaning of his words, her heart moved, and she slowly changed her friendly smile, "Since the prince heard it, I won't hide it from the prince, yes, I need puffer fish very much now, a large number of puffer fish, at least forty, how can the prince help me?"

Cheng Lingye didn't shirk either, he straightened out a thing from his arms and threw it to Ming Lu, "Take this to Huaqingfeng, let them immediately load forty fresh ones and transport them to Xiao Mansion, I think, at most one hour, it will definitely be in time for the morning banquet."

Ming Lu was stunned, and hurriedly handed over the things in his hand to Le Yu, Le Yu glanced deeply at Cheng Lingye, who was smiling incomprehensibly, the thing in his hand was a jade pendant, which was smooth and white and warm to the touch, but the size of a palm, but it was meticulously hollowed out and carved a pair of flounders with intertwined heads and tails, such as Yin and Yang Taiji, which was not ordinary at first glance.

Le Yu thought for a moment, handed it to Ming Lu, and said lightly: "Go and come back quickly." Minglu stayed early, and when he saw Le Yu speak, Fang Ru woke up from a dream and went in a hurry. This time, Qingmei didn't follow again, but took two steps forward and stayed in front of Le Yu.
