In the winter of the twentieth year of Hongyuan, Luo'an Taixiangxing was beaming, and Yun Xiangming and Uncle Wen were busy going in and out, their feet did not touch the ground, I didn't know, I thought Taixiangxing was preparing a big game of chess!

Luo'an's premier high-end restaurant Xingge is still full, and the topics that everyone talks about are almost inseparable from Taixiangxing.

"Unexpectedly, in just a few months, Taixiangxing and Taixiangsheng have repeatedly missed business opportunities, but they have been taken advantage of by Dingtaihui, a new commercial firm rising in the south, which is completely different from the momentum they were in the limelight not long ago, which is unreasonable!"

"Yes, yes, especially Taixiangsheng has lost three big business opportunities in a row, Shuzhou silk, Yuezhou celadon, Jiangnan spring tea, all by Dingtai Hui to take the lead! This loss is estimated, there must be a small million taels of silver! ”

"I guess it's more than ...... However, Tai Xiangxing and Tai Xiangsheng probably don't care about this money, otherwise you will see Tai Xiangxing and be in a good mood to prepare for a happy event. ”

"Haha...... Right! It's just that I don't know what the happy event is, but I actually drove the two major leaders to work personally. ”

"Ahem...... The affairs of big families, don't be so concerned, people are prosperous and rich and rival the country, even if they lose a few times, they are also emaciated camels bigger than horses, and they are enough for you to eat for a lifetime by plucking their hairs, so don't worry about it here! Come, drink, drink! ”

"Yes, yes...... Whatever, let's drink ours! Come! ”

The hustle and bustle of the Star Picking Pavilion came and went, but what they never imagined was that the Star Picking Pavilion, which they had eaten for more than ten years, was the last time it opened its doors to entertain guests......

The next day, the Xingxing Pavilion closed its doors to thank the guests, and soon after the notice was directly posted, everyone knew that the Xingxing Pavilion of the famous Eastern Capital had changed hands, and the new owner was happy to hold a closed-door first birthday banquet in the Xingxing Pavilion. As for whether the Star Picking Pavilion will be open in the future, it depends on the mood of the new owner after the first birthday banquet.

On the day of the first birthday banquet, except for the guests who were invited to attend, the idle people were not close to each other, and layers of curtains were laid in addition to the hundred steps of the Star Pavilion.

On the day of the banquet, everyone knew that the protagonist of this first birthday banquet was the owner behind Taixiangxing-Master Ye, the only pearl in the palm of his hand, Miss Ye.

It is said that Master Ye spoiled her to the sky, and in order to give her a birthday banquet that was completely undisturbed by the outside world, he directly bought this Star Picking Pavilion!

This Ye Ye, who is known as the Ninth Master, is also very mysterious, he has never appeared before, and he has never even heard of it, so it is rumored that he is a royal nobleman from Silla, who lost the battle for the prince and had to hide his name and avoid the great cause. This rumor is very clear-cut, and even when and where he landed in the Central Plains with what tokens he carried and went to Changxing to face the saints are very specific, which makes people have to believe it.

If it is true as the rumors say, Ye Jiuye is from the Silla royal family, and it is not difficult to understand that Taixiangxing can rise in a short period of time, and it has also taken over the business of many overseas states such as Silla, Biguo, Tianzhu, and the Western Regions. The Silla royal family has always been friendly with the imperial court of Daye, and has always had dealings with the traditional chaebols of Daye, such as the Xue family in Haizhou, the Chen family in Yuhang, the Qin family in Luo'an, and the imperial merchants in Changxing and Luo'an.

The first birthday banquet of the Star Picking Pavilion was opened quietly, and then quietly dispersed, during which it was quiet and unheard, if it were not for the bright lights, it made people wonder if there was really any banquet.

The number of guests is not much, it is said that they are a few old friends of Taixiangxing and Haidongdao, but Changxing also came to a few high-ranking officials, whether it is old or a special envoy of the imperial court, it is unknown, in addition, it is said that Yun Xiangming and his son Yunhai are in charge, and they also invited some people from Xiangzhou, in short, the gods are mysterious and secret, and outsiders do not know much. The banquet was over at the end of the day, and the guests quietly embarked on their way home, the glorious candle flame of the Star Picking Pavilion gradually extinguished, and everything fell silent......

Xue Peiqi looked at the sleeping child in the cradle with all his attention, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. Ye Cizhun finally couldn't stand it anymore, strode over and grabbed him, dragged him out of the bedroom, and as soon as he arrived at the yard, he unceremoniously threw him to the ground, angry, "Xue Peiqi, my Ye family has kept you long enough!" That's pretty much it! Look you're drunk all day long, with a scruffy beard and disheveled clothes, like what! ”

Su Yuming hurriedly grabbed Ye Cizhun by him, stepped forward to help Xue Peizhun up, took him to the pavilion to sit down, poured him a cup of hot tea, and persuaded him in a calm tone, "Now that Zhang Hongyi is also dead, it will be in vain for you to do this again, why don't you go back......"

As soon as he heard the words "Zhang Hongyi", Xue Peiqi suddenly became angry, stood up "Teng", slammed the teacup to the ground, slammed his fist on the stone table and shouted, "Zhang Hongyi! I only hate that it's not me who slashed this man! ”

"That's right, you should hate him! But he's just a watchdog, and the people behind him tell him to bite whomever he wants! Is it useful for you to be angry with someone like this?! Ye Cizhun strode over and grabbed him by the collar, "You've been decadent enough in Luo'an!" Go back to Changxing immediately, do what you have to do, and don't let down the evidence that Uncle Yun has found for you with the power of the old department of the palace! ”

Su Yuming was worried that the two would clash again, so she pulled Ye Cizhun away with a worried face, and said anxiously, "Let's say a few words!" Even if you beat Pei Qi to death, what's the use? ”

"Wow-"

There was a sudden cry of a baby in the house, and the three of them were stunned, but Su Yuming quickly reacted, stomped his feet and said, "Look, you all woke up the child, and it was not easy to fall asleep...... What to say about you! With that, he trotted all the way back, picked up the child and coaxed him softly.

Xue Peiqi also panicked, straightened up his messy clothes, and reached out to pick up the child, Yu Ming looked at him like this, dodged his hand, twisted his eyebrows and said, "Look at you, it's dirty and smelly, don't smoke the child." ”

Xue Peiqi looked at himself, and finally retracted his hand, "Are you hungry?" I'm going to call the nurse! ”

"It's not! I've just been fed, but I'm hungry! Alas, you don't know how to take care of children, you only know how to be in a hurry, what's the use? After Yi'an left, the child often woke up from her sleep and said that mother and daughter were connected, and I guess she knew...... That's why I am often frightened ......", Yu Ming coaxed the child while muttering to herself, as soon as she talked about Yi'an, her tears couldn't stop flowing, so she turned her back and pretended to go to the cuckoo to comfort the child together, not wanting to provoke Xue Peiqi's injury again.

Xue Peiqi listened to the child's gradually stopped crying, leaned his neck to finish pouring the wine in the pot, and then gently put the wine pot on the table, lest the piercing sound of the porcelain bottle disturb the child, and said dotingly, "I originally planned to accompany her to the first birthday, and one of the two parents should accompany her to celebrate the first birthday...... I'll leave tomorrow, it's time to go back and accompany Yi'an......"

Changxing

Wang Bodang no longer mentioned the matter of attacking the lord, and made a new request, inviting himself to the royal Taoist temple Haotianguan to practice and pray for the blessing of the country.

Taking the name of Hou Ye to the Royal Taoist Temple to practice, it is clear that he is raising his own value and paving the way for Wang Shulin to form a force.

With the help of Concubine De, this holy decree was soon promulgated, and the imperial court also held a solemn and solemn ceremony for Wang Bodang, which was known to the whole country.

Xue Peiqi, the young secretary of Dali Temple, returned to Beijing and submitted an urgent report on the same day. Yuan Zhen, the abbot of Qingyangguan in Luo'an, was accused of murdering the then abbot-designate Hongzhen ten years ago, and the evidence showed that Wang Bodang, the Marquis of Changying, was the actual mastermind of the murder and single-handedly carried out the murder.

Yuanzhen's confession has been signed and drawn, Hong's sincere friend Hongqin has kept all the letters exchanged between the two, which clearly describes the details of Yuanzhen and Wang Bodang's relationship with him, the original confirms Yuanzhen's confession, the human and material evidence is there, and Dali Temple requests a case for investigation! His son Wang Shulin, as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, knew his father's crimes, concealed and did not report, knew the law and violated the law, and desecrated the majesty of Dali Temple.

This piece of music spread far and wide, and when Emperor Hongyuan knew, Changxing and Luo'an were already well-known in the streets. At this time, it is only three or five days away from the grand ceremony of Changyinghou, and the grand occasion of the people congratulating together is still vivid, such a strong contrast makes the people too addicted to gossip, and after tea and dinner, the talk is endless!

The great dynasty, the majesty is swept away!

Emperor Hongyuan was so angry that he smashed the fold in court! Hundreds of officials were silenced...... But Wang Shulin showed a different indifference, as if he had foreseen it, calmly appeared, knelt on the ground to ask for guilt, and asked for dismissal and imprisonment.

If something happens, he doesn't shout wronged, he doesn't beg for mercy, and he takes the initiative to ask for guilt! Wang Shulin's move simply shocked the whole dynasty.

Wei Yingshi was a little nervous, clenched his fists for a long time, and finally chose to remain silent.

After the edict, Yuan Zhen and Wang Bodang could not escape death, the Wang family was copied, and Wang Shulin was demoted to a commoner.

Wang Shulin never stayed in Changxing's capital again, so he could only leave Beijing to find another way to make a living, and before leaving, he found Xue Chunyue.

"The Wang family's difficulties are all self-inflicted, I don't have any resentment, I just want to ...... I can see the catkins again......"

Xue Chunyue clenched his fists, his joints turned white, and he couldn't wait to kill Wang Shulin with a knife, "You still have the face to beg me?!" ”

Wang Shulin stared at the floor and pursed his lips silently.

Xue Chunyue saw his immortal appearance, and he was even more angry, and stepped forward with a punch!

Wang Shulin fell to the ground, bleeding from the corners of his mouth, but he was still calm and waveless, and indifferently wiped away the blood from the corners of his mouth, "My father gave birth to me and raised me, and I have been kind for more than 20 years...... I can't abandon him, Zhang Hongyi and Zhenyangzi...... I had to die, just because I repaid him for more than 20 years of nurturing. ”

"What about Yi'an?! Does she deserve to die?! ”

"I didn't know anything about it all along...... If I knew, I wouldn't have let them get their way...... Believe it or not, I have nothing to say. ”

"Okay, you didn't know about Yi'an, what about the catkins? Your father forced Liu Fu away, and then instructed Zhen Yangzi and Zhang Hongyi to kill her, you can say that you didn't know about it at the beginning, but when Changli appeared in the capital, you should know, right?! You still have the face to meet her?! ”

"It's me who is sorry for her...... Lord Xue, I have nothing to do when I leave Beijing this time...... My father had a lot of grievances, and I ...... I don't know how long I'll live...... Catkins are my only concern, please, let me see her one last time! ”

"Wang Shulin, in vain you are also from the Luo'an family, don't you know that once you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea?! The concubines in the palace are His Majesty's people, are they the ones you can see if you want?! ”

"Lord Xue, you have a way, even if you don't have a way, then Mrs. Xue-"
