Chapter 491: Killing in the Night
The night breeze is slight, and the autumn wind has already had this coolness, and a person shuttles on the road in the city, not taking the main road, only picking those narrow alleys.
Covered with a black coat on the outside, the hat was buttoned on his head, a face was completely covered, and occasionally a bright gaze flashed.
The Black Cloak seemed familiar with the city's roads, and her steps were brisk, skilfully dodging the patrolling guards.
And her target is the lively Yunxiang Building tonight.
Yunxianglou is a new restaurant in the capital, although the time is not long, but it quickly gained a firm foothold in the capital, some people say that this is because there is a backstage in the capital, and some people say that it is because of people's business ideas, anyway, the food here is delicious, that is no one denies.
As for the boss of this Yunxiang Building, no one has seen it, but I have heard people talk about it, the boss once said that this incense should only be in the sky, and it is rare to smell it in the world, and it is precisely because of this that it is named "Yunxiang Building," this cloud naturally refers to the auspicious clouds, and stepping on the auspicious clouds to retrieve the incense in the sky can be regarded as causing countless people to think.
Diners don't care so much, only know that the things here are special, some have never seen it, and more importantly, everything is delicious, just say that this is early, by the way, people don't call it breakfast, it is called morning tea, it is said to ...... Or something Cantonese.
Of course, this Cantonese style, many diners don't know what it means.
Every morning, the shopkeeper opened the door of the restaurant early, wearing black pants, a white shirt as clean as snow, the style of the dress was very strange, and I still remember a black bow in the middle, although it was fresh, but it was also very chic, and it was not ugly.
Each of them is pushing a small cart in their hands, the cart is also made of chic, it is made of ebony, calm and atmospheric, looking at the heart of the feeling is refreshing, the things on the car are not unusual, it is the usual common cage for xiaolongbao, but it feels different when you look closely.
As soon as I opened the lid of the cage, wow...... That's really special, the food inside is colorful, the aroma is attractive, the green buns, steaming hot, there are crystal water droplets on it, crystal-like dumplings, the skin is so thin that you can see the delicate stuffing like a work of art, and the spring rolls wrapped in sweet and soft powder and greasy bean paste, not to mention eating, the color alone, the aroma makes people can't help but swallow saliva.
A small car in the back is a variety of porridge, of course, not simple millet, rice, each is said to have the effect of health preservation, boiled rice fragrant, viscous and rich, with those small buns and crystal dumplings in front of the car, it is simply amazing.
It's just that there are so many tricks for morning tea, not to mention lunch and dinner, and there is also a rule in this restaurant, that is, whether it is morning, noon or evening, these three meals are added together, and a total of 300 tables are sold a day.
The more this happens, the more diners want to taste it, and if they can't eat it, smelling the aroma coming out of the house is as uncomfortable as scratching their hearts.
And those officials, ministers, princes and nobles are also famous, this restaurant still treats everyone equally, who do you say you are? Minister of Military Aircraft? Cabinet Fellow? I'm sorry for you, it's not allowed to wear official clothes to eat here, take off official clothes, everyone is the same.
Therefore, this Yunxiang Pavilion has not been open for a long time, but it has quickly grabbed a large share of the restaurant industry in Beijing, what? Have you ever been to Yunxiang Pavilion? It's so tasteless!
And tonight, it is said that in a private room on the second floor, Ling Wu's Yue Wangye, Chenyang's Feng Yinan, and Hao Lian Zize of Mingxiao, as well as King Ning Leng Yixiu and King Ying of Zhao, in addition, there are Princess Ning, Hao Lianbeier of Mingxiao and Princess Ying.
Dabi's second start is imminent, and there have been frequent accidents in the past few days, Emperor Dazhao felt that his face was gloomy, and it happened that Leng Yixiu said that he wanted to appease everyone, and the emperor should be approved.
Leng Yixiu booked a seat in Yunxiang Pavilion a day in advance, and the banquet was tonight, and there was a small suite in the private room, with the male guests outside and the three female guests inside.
The black cloak is going to this Yunxiang Pavilion tonight, waiting for the opportunity.
She walked quickly, occasionally revealing a moon-white skirt under the black cloak, which looked a little strange in this dark alley.
Suddenly, she closed her steps and turned her head to look around.
It is dark all around, this is a narrow alley, there are no big doors, most of the lanterns are not lit in front of the door, the light is very dim, the only light is the moonlight and starlight from the sky.
There was nothing out of the ordinary, but the black cloak did not let go of the frowning brow, on the contrary, there was more worry and irritation in his eyes.
She raised her arm, lowered her head, and sniffed her body carefully, and sure enough......
She raised her head, her eyes burst out with hatred like fire, staring at the direction of Yunxiang Pavilion, the breeze passed, blowing her black cloak, and the stench under the tip of her nose became more and more obvious.
The anger in her heart surged, but she couldn't vent it, and the hatred turned back, and she went back the way she came, and just a few steps later, a drunkard came across her.
The drunkard was leaning against the wall in one hand and the bottle of wine that was about to empty in the other, his eyes were foggy, his body was soft, and his feet seemed to have no foundation, and he kept slipping.
The black cloak was filled with anger in his heart, and his mind was a mess, and he didn't take the drunkard to heart, and when he passed by him, the drunk suddenly reached out and grabbed her black cloak.
"Huh!" The black cloak was ripped off, revealing a beautiful face.
The drunken ghost's confused gaze was stunned, and then his color bloomed, and he grinned, and said with a smile: "Haha...... It turned out to be a beautiful girl! Little lady...... It's so late, where are you going? How could it be...... Uh......"
He burped and continued, "How could it be...... Running here? But lost? As...... Go to the master's house and pause for a while, but ...... Good? ”
The woman laughed angrily, and the moonlight as clear as water slowly flowed down and fell on her body, her skin was like jade, her eyebrows were like distant mountains, her eyes were as bright as stars, and her lips were red, like ...... Roses that bloom quietly at night, with attractive colors and aromas.
The drunkard was almost stunned, he had never seen such a beautiful woman.
"Where is your home?" The woman asked softly, her tone faint and her voice like a pearl.
"In ...... Over there, not far, soon...... You can get there. The drunkard's heart was about to jump out of his joy, and he looked up in the direction of his home, looking sideways.
"Hmm...... Don't go to your house, I'll send you there...... West Heaven Bar. As soon as the words fell, the drunkard suddenly heard a slight sound in his throat, "Wow! ”
Immediately, he felt a chill in his throat, as if the heat of his whole body was rushing out of the cool place, as if someone had stuffed a handful of snow there, and the coolness quickly filled his whole body.
He made a strange sound of "gurgling" in his throat, and turned his head with difficulty, only to find that the woman in front of him was still smiling, but there was a cold light flashing in her eyes, huh...... Why is it all red?
Little by little, his gaze drifted away, and he seemed to ...... I'll never be able to figure it out.
Watching the drunkard's corpse fall little by little, the anger in the woman's heart was slightly vented, she wiped the dagger on the drunkard's body, then put on the cloak, put on the hat, and quickly walked towards the Qi Palace.
On the contrary to her, a black shadow, from another street, quickly crossed the ridge of the roof and came towards Yunxiang Pavilion, he naturally did not find the black cloak that returned the same way, nor did he see the bloody incident in the small alley.
Leng Yixiu sat in the private room, his guests had not yet come, Rong Xi sat opposite him, leisurely drinking a bowl of porridge personally served by the shopkeeper.
"Business here is not bad, it's even better than I thought at the beginning," Leng Yixiu said while looking at the teacup in front of him with "resentment", "Why don't I have porridge to drink?" ”
"You can have this." Rong Xi didn't look up, stretched out a hand, and said, "Bring the silver, immediately." ”
"......" Leng Yixiu took a breath, "Why do you still need money?" ”
"Why don't you want money?" Rong Xi raised his eyes, wiped his mouth and said: "I'll do the math for you, this rice is carefully selected, why is it so delicious, naturally it is not just any rice, and the water for boiling porridge has to be sweet well water, as well as those beans, red dates, and other medicinal ingredients, etc., everything is a high-quality product, everything can not be sloppy, those chefs or something, they have also been trained for a long time, in this bowl of porridge, the grains are the crystallization of hard work." ”
"......" Leng Yixiu looked at her speechlessly.
Xiao'er looked at her with admiration, Miss is really smart, I really didn't expect that she was even a good hand at doing business! I really don't know where Miss got so many ideas, it's so surprising and surprising, she has to learn a few more things from Miss.
Leng Yixiu was stunned for a moment, couldn't help but laugh softly, took a sip of tea and said, "If the people in this capital know that you are the behind-the-scenes boss of this Yunxiang Pavilion, they will definitely be shocked that their jaws will fall, right?" ”
"Why?" Rong Xi rolled his eyelids and said disapprenorantly: "Because I am Princess Ning?" Or is it just because I'm a woman? I tell you, what I advocate the most is the equality of men and women, what men can do, women can do the same, women can do it, but men may not be able to do it, such as ......"
She hung her head and stroked her bulging belly with her hand.
"......" Leng Yixiu.
"......" filial piety.
Xiao'er's face was already red, she was not shy, but wanted to laugh and was bored.
After a while, Leng Yixiu coughed, "Okay, let's not discuss this issue." It is estimated that the guests are almost there. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard footsteps on the stairs, and Rong Xi stood up and walked towards the inner room suite.
