Chapter 50: Undercurrent (2)
"Smack!" A celadon teacup was shattered, and the porcelain pieces splashed, tearing the silk on the screen.
Li Daofu's face turned blue, and he roared angrily outside the door: "Hasn't the Hai family come yet?" If you go to urge again, it will take less than a quarter of an hour, and he will not use it in the future! β
Li Daofu slapped the table fiercely, gritted his teeth and said, "This damn idiot, don't spoil the big things in the DPRK and China!" β
Now Xiangguo is in full swing to push the prince of dao, the most taboo extraneous branches, if this matter is stabbed into the court by that chapter of Qiu and Qiongzhen, and is caught by Li Heng and bites, it is very likely that Li Heng will pull back the situation, and all the previous efforts will be abandoned!
Li Daofu was extremely depressed in his heart, the officialdom struggle was deceitful, talking about a blow that would be hit, and the middle would be killed, don't look at Zhang Qiu and Qiong smiled and invited him to the banquet, that was because this matter was not enough to convict him of a big crime, so he didn't make a move, but if this person really caught him with any direct handle, he would never show mercy, and now he was most afraid that the Hai family would have something to hide from him.
"My lord! The old man Hailan is here," the king in the palace trembled and came to report.
"Let him wait outside the gate!"
Hailan just came from Huanhua Creek, he was lucky today, he took the bait with four big carp in a row, just when he was interested, but suddenly got a report from his family, Lord Thorn Shi had 100,000 urgent things to find him, Hailan immediately guessed that there was something wrong with Wangjiang Restaurant, and he handed over this matter to his son to be fully responsible, but he didn't ask, so he didn't know about the defeat of the underworld.
It was too late to go back to the house to change clothes, he rushed to the Assassin's Mansion, and ordered his subordinates to hurry up to inquire about the situation of the Wangjiang Restaurant, and as soon as he arrived at the door of the Assassin's Mansion, the news of the Wangjiang Restaurant had already come, and the army was killed halfway, and the underworld people sent were all wiped out, Hailan's heart suddenly cooled half, and his mind was buzzing, and even the army was dispatched, and the matter was really big.
"Damn little brute, what the hell are you doing" Heilan's eyes were burning with hatred, and he was about to enter the mansion, but the doorman was stopped: "Master is busy with official business now, please wait a while." β
"Wait outside the gate for a moment?"
Heilan immediately understood, this is Li Daofu cleaning himself up under the pretext, don't look at him has the backstage of King Tan, but he is a businessman after all, and the social status of businessmen in Tang is extremely low, if it weren't for his daughter being good at drilling camps, if he didn't give money every year, where would King Tan put him in his eyes, that's it, he is still only worthy of dealing with the big housekeeper of King Tan's mansion, King Tan himself only sees him once a year when he sends money, and only when big things happen, he will help, like this kind of trivial things fighting for restaurants don't matter, so, The real backstage of his Hai family is Li Daofu, the assassin of Yizhou, and King Tan is just a tiger skin pulled by the Hai family to intimidate the world.
Hailan knew that he had been in trouble this time, he was terrified, but he didn't dare to move, beads of sweat slowly rolled down his forehead, and he stood for about an hour before the steward slowly walked out, glanced at him and smiled: "Lord Thorn Shi is too busy, I'm afraid I won't have time to see the sea owner, the sea owner, please go back first, and come back another day!" β
"What! Can't even see the face? Heilan chuckled in his heart, it seemed that the matter was more serious than he thought, he hurriedly pulled the steward aside, took out an ingot of about fifty taels of silver and quietly stuffed it, "Steward Wang must tell me, what does Lord Thorn Shi think?" β
This Wang steward and Li Daofu for many years, have been very cunning, he will not let go of any opportunity to make money, Li Daofu ordered him to come out to pass the word, but he only said half of it, the other half is to be sold at the price, he took the heavy silver, secretly happy in his heart, look at no one left and right, and then whispered: "The backstage of the Wangjiang Restaurant is the Jiedu envoy Zhang Qiu and Qiong, this time the lord fell in front of him, and he was very angry, the owner of the sea should be careful in the future!" β
"Then, what is Master Thorn Shi going to do to my Hai family this time."
Steward Wang smiled: "The Mid-Autumn Festival makes the adult's family celebrate his birthday, the lord wants to congratulate, the main thing is to make amends for you, this birthday gift naturally can't be paid by the lord, you can see it yourself." β
In the final analysis, it is still a money word, Heilan suddenly realized, and secretly scolded shamelessly in his heart.
"Also, the master asked you to write a written statement, write out this matter in detail, and not a single detail is allowed to be missed."
"Please tell the master, I know." He patted the king's steward on the hand and took his leave.
Hailan rushed home full of annoyance, and immediately called his son Hai Zhongheng, without saying a word, he opened the bow left and right and gave him a few big mouths, which made his eyes glow, and half of his face immediately became purple and swollen.
"What did I tell you? Don't let you overdo it, but how did you do it, so many people died, even the army was alarmed, and it almost caused a shock in Chengdu officialdom, you say! If you don't give a reason today, I'll have to break your dog's leg!" β
Hai Zhongheng's face was hot and painful, but he didn't dare to move, he only bowed his head and didn't dare to speak, he was also a person with brains, and he also had some wrists, so he didn't know the severity, if it was someone else's restaurant, he would let the underworld people occupy a seat every day, and use a soft knife to make the restaurant run a business, but he had an inexplicable hatred for Li Qing for the sake of a woman, so he lost his square inch, which led to a big deal in the end.
"The child asked Haisan to do this, and the child also told him to be careful, but now the consequences are like this, and the details in the middle are not clear to the child."
Hailan stared at him with a gloomy face for a long time before he shouted: "Call Hai San!" β
Hai San was worried about the morning, and suddenly heard that the old man called him, needless to say, it must be that the old man was ruthless, he was terrified, and saw that the second son was beaten and his lips were bleeding, but his eyes were slanted to the sky and did not look at him, and immediately understood, this must be the second son who planted all the responsibility on his head, although it was obviously all his idea, but he Hai San was the master, which green onion was he, Hai San thought about it, and now, he can only push it on the Tang boss of Emeitang.
Hai San 'pounced' and knelt down, and said in a trembling voice: "Hai San is not doing things well, and he is allowed to be arranged by Tang Peng, resulting in today's defeat, please punish the master!" β
"Good! Good! Heilan laughed angrily, and said two 'good' words in a row, "The two of you, one pushes the responsibility to the housekeeper, and the housekeeper pushes the responsibility to outsiders, you are not responsible, very good!" That's great! β
He suddenly shouted: "Someone! β
Immediately, several sturdy men with tigers on their backs appeared at the door.
"Pull Haisan down and break both of his legs!"
"Sir! Spare your life! Haisan was so frightened that he kowtowed and begged for mercy, but was carried away by several big men like chickens.
"And you!" Hailan pointed at Hai Zhongheng, Hai Zhongheng was so frightened that he fell to his knees, and his purple face turned pale in an instant, "The child knows his mistake!" Children know their mistakes! β
"I won't beat you, but I will also punish you according to the family rules, from now on, the things in the restaurant will be handed over to your second uncle to do, you will study behind closed doors for me, and I will not be allowed to leave the house for half a year, and I will go to Beijing next year to take the imperial examination."
Hai Zhongheng replied in a low voice, and got up weakly, he had nothing now, and when he walked out of the door, the autumn wind suddenly rose, rolling up a few half-green and half-yellow fallen leaves, and there was a faint scream from Haisan outside the gate.
'Li Qing! He muttered twice, and a sudden wave of hatred swelled in his heart.
Hailan looked at his son's back, his eyes closed slightly, he deeply realized today that if there is no child as an official in the court, he can't even enter the door of others! The son showed an unwise side this time, he only had this one son under his knees, he could take care of him for a while but he couldn't take care of him for a lifetime, it seemed that he had to help him pave the road while he was still walking, he suddenly remembered his second brother, he was stupid for thirty years, is he really a pig? He had never believed that this time he could try out his true nature and throw him a bone first and see how he reacted.
Thinking of this, the corners of Heilan's mouth showed an imperceptible sneer.
Just when the Haijia chicken and the dog jumped, and learned from the pain, the Deyue Inn was full of joy, laughter continued, a few big red candles illuminated the lobby as if it was day, Li Qing set up a banquet to invite all the old guys who came from Langzhong to eat, today there was no danger, and finally it was a happy ending, how could everyone be unhappy, especially today's good start, to the evening turnover has exceeded 100 times, the shopkeeper also said that this is the worst, to the New Year, more than 500 times a day.
Pei Rou was drunk and her face was red, the hotel was fine, even if she kept the position of the shopkeeper of the slush shop, she was really happy in her heart, so she simply spread her arms and fought with the coachman Lao Yu, Lao Yu was obviously absent-minded, her eyes kept sweeping over the **** trembling on her chest, more than a dozen punches down, the fist was defeated, and she was held down by several guys and forcibly poured three bowls of wine, almost choking to death.
Li Qing was overwhelmed by alcohol, and fled into the inner room early, he leaned on a wide Nanmu chair, his eyes were hazy drunk, but his thinking was extremely clear, today can be described as a fluke, if it weren't for Zhang Qiu and Qiong to help, Wangjiang Restaurant would definitely be smashed to pieces, backstage! It is absolutely not possible to do big business without a background, no matter in the Tang Dynasty or in later generations, what hard work to get rich, what law-abiding management, are the archway set up for ****, no backstage will be pinched to death sooner or later, don't think too naΓ―ve! The birthday feast of the Mid-Autumn Festival, but you must be careless, you must use this opportunity to seize the backstage of Zhang Qiu and Qiong.
