Chapter 42: The Sudden Rise of the Wind (1)
Huo Di turned around, and there was a man with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks standing at the door, wearing a tiger skin and a hard head, dressed in a short black shirt, with a three-inch figure, with more than a dozen followers behind him, but all of them were tigers and bears, he squinted at Li Qing, and his eyes were arrogant.
"It's the big butler who is here, rare guest! Rare guests! The fat shopkeeper greeted him with a smile.
The sea steward rolled his eyes and said coldly: "Shopkeeper Xi is wrong, I am not a guest." ”
When the shopkeeper Xi suddenly heard this, his body trembled, and he said in a trembling voice: "Could it be that the Hai family has already bought the Wangjiang Restaurant?" ”
This is what he is most afraid of, if this is the case, he will have to say goodbye to the restaurant that he has been with for 20 years, even if the Hai family keeps him, he will definitely not do it, the way is different, and he will not conspire with him.
"Of course, my eldest man went out early in the morning, and he should have signed it at this moment."
The sea housekeeper glanced at Li Qing, he was a person walking sideways in Chengdu, seeing that Li Qing was alone, dressed normally, his heart was even more disgusting, and he scolded viciously casually: "Where did the wild dogs come from, they don't pee according to their own virtues, they dare to compete with my Hai family for the restaurant, I count to three, and if I don't roll Lao Tzu, I will let you climb out from under Lao Tzu's crotch!" ”
"One!"
The followers behind had already begun to launch, licking their tongues and showing a fierce light in their eyes, slowly spreading around Li Qing.
"Two!"
The sea steward's eyes began to be excited, it was a penchant for blood, he stared at Li Qing tightly, the expression on his face seemed to be really looking at a dog, a leper dog who was about to be beaten by him.
Li Qing stiffened there and couldn't get off the stage, if the housekeeper said a few words, he might arch his hand and say sorry, but the other party said so viciously and aggressively, and didn't give him any way back, although Li Qing didn't want to cause trouble, but he was humiliated for no reason, and his bones suddenly attacked.
His eyes narrowed into a slit, staring at the dog's rotten mouth, his chest was tightened like a volcano about to erupt, his fists were clenched like hammers, and the hairs on his hands seemed to be about to burst apart. ”
Li Qing took a long breath and slowly calmed down, although he had already found that the gate was unguarded, and he could escape from the door with just one punch to smash the dog's stinky mouth, but he was not completely sure, and he also lost the shopkeeper to relieve the siege, but he couldn't swallow this suckle no matter what, Li Qing couldn't help but turn around and 'bah!' sighed, and said hatefully: "Lao Tzu will be developed in the future, and the first one to be eradicated is your Hai family." ”
While scolding, his eyes saw the words on the plaque through the window, and now he remembered a little, and hurriedly took out the name thorn that Li Lin gave him from his arms, and carefully compared the words on both sides, although the words are different, but the penmanship is exactly the same, he suddenly remembered that Li Lin sold the drunken restaurant, and made a judgment in his heart, this Wangjiang restaurant must also be sold by Li Lin, otherwise why do you need the eldest master of the Hai family to go out in person.
Thinking about this section, Li Qing's heart began to move again, the market here is too good, if the hotel can belong to him, it only takes a year, he can do a big capital trade, but the Hai family has already started first, scolding and scolding, Li Qing understands in his heart that it is really the most stupid behavior to make a strong enemy at the first time, the power of the Hai family, he can not afford to offend!
Li Qing had to give up the idea, but after only taking two steps, his brain turned around and slapped his head, how could he be so stupid, then Li Lin may have more than one restaurant, just don't buy Wangjiang Tower, besides, he also promised to help himself, no! I have to go right away, and if I go a little late, the good things will be gone.
It was less than a hundred steps away from the inn, but he had no intention of going back, looking for a carriage and going straight to Li Lin's mansion, Li Lin's official residence is not big, he is Yizhou don't drive, and Xian Yu Zhongtong is the same, he lives in the mansion provided by the official family, although the wealth is rivaled by the country, but he does not dare to show it, once the imperial history is impeached, and the villain is red, the crime of unknown origin of this huge amount of property can be confirmed.
There were three gorgeous and wide carriages parked at the door of Li Lin's mansion, and nearly a hundred black-clothed men stood quietly aside, generally tall and burly, all with straight waists and straight backs, and fierce light in their eyes, Li Qing was secretly stunned: "This must be the escort of the eldest master of the Hai family, and it is really related to the underworld, isn't this posture the underworld boss in later generations?" ”
He suddenly became indignant: "With such arrogance, doesn't the government care about it?" He didn't know that these were just the personal bodyguards of Master Hai, not the younger brother who went to the street to slash and kill, and he didn't have a murder weapon on his body, so the government naturally didn't care, the Hai family was a legitimate businessman, just like the Japanese Yamaguchi Group and Kumagai Group.
Li Qing sighed, his heart was empty, on the first day he arrived in Chengdu, he had dealt with the three major merchants, how could he not feel lost.
Li Qing walked to the side door and handed Li Lin's name thorn to the porter who was dozing: "Don't drive the Lord to order me to come to him." ”
The porter glanced at him, looked back again, and saw that the carriage he was riding in was black, compared with the fresh car and angry horse of Master Hai, like a leper dog, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, he took the famous thorn casually, stretched his waist lazily and yawned, and said listlessly: "You wait, I'll go and tell the housekeeper." Turning to enter the door, "Bang! With a bang, he closed the door again.
Time passed little by little, half an hour had passed, the porter had not yet come, Li Qing was waiting a little anxiously, suddenly, the yellow dust was billowing in the distance, and dozens of horsemen escorted a carriage to come quickly, and rushed to the door in a moment.
"The man in front of him dodge!" Li Qing saw two fast horses that were opening the way coming straight to the gate, and flashed to the side.
Without waiting for the horses to stop, the two knights flew down, ran up the steps and shouted, "Open the gate quickly, the county lord is back!" ”
More than a dozen people who ran out of the door hurriedly opened the door, just waiting for the carriage to drive in, but the carriage stopped at the door, and a young woman in a green Luo long skirt walked from the carriage, and walked straight towards Li Qing, Li Qing recognized her as the county lord's maid, suddenly, he suddenly remembered the fairy-like county lord, and his heart was slightly hot, one side of the edge, did she still remember herself?
"Childe is the shopkeeper Li in Langzhong!" The maid recognized Li Qing in the carriage, but she was not sure when they met in a different place.
"It's me!"
The maid smiled and said: "Sure enough, yes, I'm still worried about recognizing the wrong person, my county lord asked, is the son here to find the master?" If so, she is willing to help her son deliver a message. ”
Li Qing was overjoyed, he just couldn't enter the mansion, and it was better if the county lord was willing to help, "Thank you so much!" ”
"Childe don't have to be polite, my county lord never owes favors, I ate a can of slush from my son, and I helped my son pass on a message, and the right is in return."
With a few words, the maid boarded the carriage, which started and galloped into the gate.
Li Lin is the second son of Emperor Li Xian, and Li Xian is the eldest son of Li Dan of Ruizong, according to the system of Ruizong should be enthroned by Li Xian, but Li Xian judged the situation, knowing that his prestige and connections are not as good as the third brother Li Longji, so he took the initiative to give up the throne, Li Longji felt his kindness, so he was named the king of Ning, and treated him favorably, Li Xian died of illness the year before last, and he was named the emperor, and his eldest son Li Jin was named the king of Ruyang, and the second son Li Lin was named Yizhou.
In the Tang Dynasty, the state officials of the don't drive, Changshi, and Sima were called "Shangzuo", and the Tang system stipulated that when there was a shortage of people in the history of the assassin or when the prince was concurrent, Shangzuo could act on behalf of the state, but under normal circumstances, Shangzuo did not have a specific position, because of his high quality and wealth, and not pro-practice, so it was mostly used to give preferential treatment to the clan or place idle officials, etc., so Bai Juyi also called this kind of official "send the old official".
Li Lin has nothing to do in office, so he does a businessman pastime, he has a good management, plus a noble status, so the journey is smooth, three years into Shu in the huge rich, ranked Chengdu Dajia first, seeing that the three-year term of office is about to expire, Li Longji ordered him to return to Beijing, and other arrangements, Li Lin sold part of the industry, including the excellent Wangjiang restaurant in the market.
At this time, Li Lin is entertaining guests in the living room, the guest is naturally the head of the Hai family, the old man Hailan, and there is a young man sitting at the bottom, who is the second son of Hailan, the Hai family is determined to win the Wangjiang Restaurant, and has sent someone to talk to Li Lin's archdeacon several times, and the bid cannot be negotiated until 18,000 yuan.
Hailan is a thin old man who is not good-looking, he was awarded the lieutenant of the light car in the twentieth year of Kaiyuan, he is over the age of sixties, the top of his head is bald, he has a pair of small slitted eyes, and he is inconspicuous in the fishing old man pile on the bank of Huanhua Creek, but he is such a thin old man, but he can shake Chengdu up with one kick.
Hailan accompanied Li Lin to catch a few fish in the pond in the house, and talked about fishing experience for a while, looking up to the sky and laughing a few times, the atmosphere gradually eased and harmonious, Hailan saw that the time had come, picked up the teacup and said with a smile: "Don't drive the adults to plan when to return to Beijing?" ”
"I'll be gone in a day or two!"
"The old man heard the news from Beijing, saying that the emperor wanted to take a step forward if he wanted to drive the adult back to Beijing, and Hailan congratulated the adult first." In other words, he is also a person of King Tan, reminding Li Linmo to think too simple about the sale of restaurants.
Li Lin naturally understood what he meant, and knew that his backstage was Li Cong, the king of Tan, but if Hailan knew that he was actually the prince's person, he would not have said this, and the harmonious atmosphere that was easy to cultivate suddenly disappeared, and he sneered in his heart: "Hmph! King Tan, it is precisely because you are King Tan's lackey that the old man will not sell it to you. ”
He smiled and said: "The owner of the sea is so happy, the old man only got the news from the palace the day before yesterday, this is the emperor's grace, but Gao Sheng can't talk about it, and he is just an idle king, what is the difference between it and now?" ”
He didn't talk about it anymore, glanced at the young man below, and diverted the topic: "It's a pity to be a businessman with the literary talent and character of the nephew, why don't you go and make a name for yourself, ascend to the Hall of the Son of Heaven, and serve the country?" ”
