0494 Hongyan Building
The young man said, "I'm here to help Li Ye pass on a message." Li Ye is very happy to know that you have come to Nagasaki. So tomorrow at noon, I invite you to Hongyan Tower for a banquet. At that time, Zheng Longtou will also arrive, and the two of you can sit down and talk together. ”
Liu Dahai hurriedly said: "In the next Ding, I will follow Li Ye's orders, and I will arrive on time tomorrow." It's just that I wonder if Li Ye will be there tomorrow? ”
The old man shook his head and said, "I don't know about this!" When the time comes, Master Liu, you will naturally know when you go. ”
After Liu Dahai nodded after listening, he rewarded the young man with a small ingot of silver and let him go. After sending the young man away, Liu Dahai turned around and asked Kikumaru, "Do you know Hongyan Tower?" ”
Kikumaru's face was flushed after drinking, but he still nodded again and again and said, "Of course I know!" Hongyan Tower is an izakaya opened by a merchant in the Ming Kingdom. According to your Ming people, it is called a restaurant. It sells all the dishes of the Ming Kingdom, but the price is very expensive. ”
After listening to this, Liu Dahai said thoughtfully to himself: "Since this is the case, it should mean that Li Ye has no malicious intentions!" Otherwise, he called me to his yard and cut off my head, how convenient it would be! That's right, that's the truth! ”
Although Kikumaru didn't hear what Liu Dahai said, he still said seriously: "It seems that you will meet Zheng Longtou tomorrow." Then you shouldn't drink too much today. Otherwise, it will be rude if you are not conscious tomorrow! ”
Liu Dahai nodded approvingly and said, "That's true!" Why don't you stop here today, I'll go back and get a good night's sleep, and I'll go to the banquet tomorrow. ”
After the two said goodbye, Liu Dahai returned directly to the inn. In the past, Liu Dahai often stayed in this inn when he went to the Japanese country. So the boss and the guys were already familiar with him, and after greeting them, Liu Dahai returned to his room.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw the letter thrown on the tatami mat. Liu Dahai looked around vigilantly and found that there was no one in the room, so he picked up the letter and opened it. I saw that it read: "All the news proves that Li Dan has no ill will towards you, you can go to the banquet normally." ”
Liu Dahai read the letter and knew that this was the feedback given by the people from the Intelligence Bureau, so he completely settled down and rested early, preparing to go to the banquet at noon tomorrow.
Before noon the next day, Liu Dahai cleaned up and came to Hongyan Tower in advance. Hongyan Tower is still very famous in Nagasaki. Liu Dahai had already heard a lot of news from the innkeeper in the morning.
Hongyan Tower was indeed run by a Ming merchant, but he had already settled in Nagasaki. In order to be able to eat the flavor of his hometown, and at the same time to entertain friends, he specially opened this Hongyan Building. Here Ming cuisine is made
Very authentic, just at a great price.
When Liu Dahai came to Hongyan Tower, he felt a little disappointed. Because he found that Hongyan Tower was just an ordinary two-story building. Compared with those high-end restaurants in China, it is much worse in terms of appearance. However, the three words Hongyan Building on the door are written very tastefully. It can be seen that the word Hongyan represents the owner's longing for his hometown.
Liu Dahai raised his feet and stepped up the steps, and as soon as he entered the door, a guy greeted him and said: "This guest officer, our store does not accept foreign guests here today!" Please forgive your sins and find another restaurant! ”
Liu Dahai guessed that Hongyan Tower was probably closed today to receive him, so he smiled and said, "It's strange for you to say that?" I obviously received an order from Li Ye, saying that we met here today. Am I mistaken? ”
The man's face changed when he heard it! With a frightened face, he said, "You are the messenger of the Red-eyed Dragon King, Liu Dahai and Liu Ye?" ”
Liu Dahai felt very useful when he saw the guy's surprised look! He said, "It's exactly below." ”
The guy bowed down and said, "I'm sorry! Sorry! Forgive me. It turns out that you are our honored guest of Hongyan Tower! Today, we Hongyan Tower has been instructed by Li Ye to hold a banquet here to entertain you! You can follow me upstairs! ”
Liu Dahai is even more proud in his heart! However, he also knew that Li Dan was not looking at his face, but for Liu Pei's sake, so Liu Dahai quickly reined in his mind and told himself not to be complacent! If it is bad for the handsome thing, I am afraid that I will die a hundred deaths!
Liu Dahai followed the guy to the upstairs private room, and the guy served tea and hot hand towels, and waited very thoughtfully. Just when Liu Dahai wiped his hands and face with a hot towel, the shopkeeper of Hongyan Building also arrived to talk to him.
After the two exchanged pleasantries, the topic quickly turned to the banquet. Liu Dahai listened to the shopkeeper's explanation, and these dishes in Hongyan Lou are mainly based on dishes from Fujian and Guangdong, which makes him very happy! Because he himself is a Cantonese man. After he followed Liu Pei to Shandong, he hadn't eaten the taste of his hometown for a long time. It just so happened that the shopkeeper was also from Guangdong, and the conversation between the two was quite speculative.
Chatting and chatting, things inevitably turned to today's banquet guests. The shopkeeper said to Liu Dahai with envy: "Brother Liu, you are lucky!" With such a tough boss as the Red-eyed Dragon King above you, your life will be much better in the future! Brother, I also want to do the business of licking blood with knives, but I dare not be timid! I had to help the owner guard this restaurant! ”
Liu Dahai asked: "How can there be rumors on the market that we are in charge?" ”
When the shopkeeper saw that there was no one around, he whispered, "So everyone."
It is said that the red-eyed dragon king is dead! It's about to turn into a red-eyed dead snake! I didn't expect him to be able to survive in death, it's really amazing! It's just that at the beginning, we didn't know why he challenged Zheng Longtou's position, and later we learned that Zheng Longtou had something to do! ”
As soon as Liu Dahai heard it, he knew that it was someone from the Intelligence Bureau who was engaged in a public opinion war. So he said: "It's rare that the cause and effect of the matter can be circulated!" I thought that this Zheng Longtou would not tell the truth, but would only plant this matter on our big boss! ”
The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "Actually, there have been rumors before and after the incident, but there are not many people who believe it." And even those who know the truth don't care! After all, there are still fists on the sea that have the final say! If the Red-Eyed Dragon King loses, then all the fault is naturally his back! If you win, it's naturally another way to put it! ”
Liu Dahai smiled when he heard this: "Then you haven't won the battle yet, so why do you dare to say that Zheng Longtou's is not?" ”
The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "Although I didn't win, I didn't lose either!" Being able to fight like this with the powerful Zheng Longtou already shows that the Red-Eyed Dragon King is extraordinary! You don't know, many people in the market in Nagasaki now say that the red-eyed dragon king is the real dragon, and the position where he sits on the dragon head is more suitable than the seat of Zheng Long's head! It's just that Zheng Longtou's position was set by Li Ye himself, so everyone won't say anything on the surface. But in private, the cause and effect of the matter have been clearly stated. And it was the first to get the news. is the one who suffered a loss with Zheng Longtou! They followed Zheng Longtou and the Red-eyed Dragon King to fight, but they didn't want to suffer a loss! But Zheng Longtou couldn't compensate them, so many people were very dissatisfied, so they said strange things behind their backs. ”
Liu Dahai's heart moved when he heard this! I think this is a good opportunity to divide the enemy. And these words certainly don't come from all these people. Among them, there must be people who are dissatisfied with Zheng Zhilong who are fueling the trouble! If homeopathy can find these people, it is the best way to join forces to deal with Zheng Zhilong in the future!
So he deliberately said casually: "That's a person who dares to tell the truth!" I don't know where the hero is? ”
The shopkeeper casually said a few names, and Liu Dahai hurriedly wrote them down. I thought I'd go back and ask someone from the Intelligence Bureau to inquire. As for whether to make friends or not, it depends on the next step of the intelligence bureau. However, Liu Dahai felt that he was already very good when he heard these names. He was afraid of the shopkeeper's suspicions, so he hurriedly shifted the topic to the scenery of Guangdong.
When the two of them were talking about the scenery of their hometown, they were a little sad, and the guy opened the door and reported: "Steward Li and Zheng Longtou have arrived!" The shopkeeper is here to greet you! ”
Liu Dahai is very strange, who is Steward Li in the mouth of the guy? He asked, "Who is this Steward Li?" ”
