The name of the Rifle Inn is very vulgar, and the vulgar rivers are north and south, regardless of the size of the city, there are basically inns with this name. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Laifu Inn is the largest inn in Fuzhou City, but also the largest restaurant, the chef of the restaurant is very good, the same food, but can make different flavors, in Fuzhou City, can be regarded as a must, plus the price is fair, so the business has always been very good, recognized by many people, become the meeting place of most people in Fuzhou City.

Li Hongyi has eaten many times in the Laifu Inn, so he is not afraid of any conspiracy, after his observation, Fei Yan is indeed a businessman, greed, speculation, is his characteristics, in this Fuzhou City, Li Hongyi believes that no one dares to do anything to him.

The iron hooves of the war horses collided on the uneven bluestone pavement. The original Fuzhou city was quite prosperous under the governance of Wang's father and son, but with the war, the hilly Fujian became more impoverished, and the main roads in the city also changed, the road surface was uneven, and when it rained, there was water in many places, and the situation was very bad.

Li Hongyi is now self-preservation, how can he have the spare strength to govern the road? He could only focus on the repair of the city wall, in addition to the army's salary, which was already a headache for him.

Laifu Inn is located on the edge of the Minjiang River, with convenient transportation, and there is a wharf nearby, with a lot of throughput. When the group arrived at the Laifu Inn, the shopkeeper of the Laifu Inn saw it, rushed out, and was about to say hello, when he saw Li Hongyi, he was taken aback at first, and quickly reacted, and said with a smile: "Li Jiedu, please inside." ”

Li Hongyi turned over and dismounted, handed the reins to the guards beside him, and walked in. Fei Yan also dismounted, followed behind, and said with a smile: "Li Jiedu, this is the largest restaurant in Fuzhou City, and it is said that the food is good." ”

Li Hongyi looked at Fei Yan like an idiot, thinking that I have been in Fuzhou City for many years, don't you know clearly?

Fei Yan reacted suddenly, shook his head, and laughed self-deprecatingly: "Look at my memory, Li Jie is a parent official in Fuzhou, how can he not know the truth?" ”

While the two were talking, Li Hongtong had already taken more than ten guards upstairs and drove away many diners, and the diners saw that it was Li Hongtong, and they dared not speak out, so they had to hurriedly go downstairs, scolding angrily in their hearts. There are a very small number of people who don't know Li Hongtong, and they still want to ask for an explanation, but they are pulled by the person next to them: "You don't want to live anymore?" ”

That's right, even if you don't know Li Hongtong, there are so many guards around him, everyone is fully armed, and the blades in his hands are not jealous. Immediately walked away.

Seeing this scene, the running hall of the Laifu Inn was dumbfounded, although Li Hongyi is a big man, but these people have not given money to eat!

At this time, Fei Yan stepped forward, smiled, and said, "I gave these people's food money." ”

Li Hongyi narrowed his eyes, and had a new evaluation of Fei Yan in his heart, this is a person who is desperate for profit, and he Li Hongyi is the same, such a person is very suitable for Li Hongyi's appetite. Such people need to be on guard, but in Fuzhou, Li Hongyi is not afraid at all, there have been no major events in Fuzhou City these days, and it is the New Year, Li Hongyi does not need to worry, besides, there are so many guards.

Everyone walked in, the guards were eyeing each other, holding blades in their hands, and soon, the diners on the second and third floors were also driven away, and only these people were left in the entire Rifford Inn. Although Li Hongtong's talent is not good, he is very cautious, he sends troops to guard everywhere, and it can be said that not a single fly can fly in.

Brother Li Hongyi is so cautious, also because he recently caught Cha Wenhui, for fear that the Tang people will come to make trouble, so they are more cautious. After taking a seat, it was naturally Li Hongyi on the top, Li Hongtong on the right hand side, and Fei Yan on the left hand side.

As soon as the three of them sat down, the owner of the inn and restaurant hurried over, the proprietor's name was Zhang De, about fifty years old, fat head and big ears, with a gold chain around his neck, and he was very rich. When he saw Li Hongyi at a glance, he couldn't help wiping the sweat on his forehead, thinking that it was the Tu Overlord of Fuzhou who was here, otherwise how could there be such a big disturbance.

Zhang De stepped forward with a smile and said, "The villain has seen Li Jiedu. ”

Li Hongyi was in a good mood, waved his hand, and said with the same smile: "Zhang De, what are the good dishes recently?" ”

Zhang De hurriedly arched his hand and said: "At this time, there are only shrimp and fish that have been hoarded in the early days. ”

"Hmm!" Li Hongyi has lived in Fuzhou for a long time, so he naturally knows what to do at this season, so he immediately ordered more than a dozen dishes, anyway, it was not him who spent money.

Fei Yan called Zhang De quite arrogantly, added a few more dishes, and then signaled Zhang De to prepare quickly.

When the meal was being prepared, the runner brought wine up. Although Fuzhou is located in the south, it is still a little cold for the southerners, Li Hongtong immediately poured a lot of wine for Li Hongyi and Fei Yan, and the three of them said this without a match, most of them were talking about some customs and customs.

Fei Yan is a businessman, he has been to a lot of places, and he has seen a lot of the world. Li Hongyi is even more sure that Fei Yan is undoubtedly a businessman.

After waiting for a while, the wine and food were served one after another, and in the entire box, the aroma was suddenly fragrant, Li Hongyi laughed, pointed to the dishes, and said: "Brother Fei, these are the specialties of Fuzhou, since you are here, you have to try it." ”

"This is natural, thank you Li Jiedu, villain." Fei Yan arched his hand and said, holding the wine glass in his hand, Fei Yan said again: "Li Jiedu, the villain toasts you." ”

"Haha, that's easy to say." Li Hongyi laughed, picked up the wine glass and drank it all. Although Li Hongyi looked down on merchants, now, he needs merchants to come to Fuzhou to do business and bring grain, cloth and other items, so that he can collect taxes and have money.

Fei Yan drank the wine and couldn't help but praise: "Good wine." ”

"I can't imagine that Brother Fei can still drink this kind of wine." Li Hongyi said. Fuzhou has been besieged for a long time, there is a shortage of food, and there is not enough food, how can it be used to make wine? Therefore, Li Hongyi has long issued an order to strictly prohibit the use of grain to make wine, so the wine sold in the restaurant in the city is fruit wine, which is inevitably bitter in terms of taste.

Fei Yan is from Shu Kingdom, and the wine he drinks is naturally made from grain, and the taste is naturally excellent, which is very different from the taste of fruit wine.

Fei Yan smiled, and when he put down the wine glass, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, revealing an uncomfortable look.

When Li Hongyi saw this scene, his heart moved, he knew that what Fei Yan did just now was deliberate, and his purpose was to gain Li Hongyi's trust. Thinking of this, Li Hongyi smiled faintly, and already had an idea in his heart.

This banquet was drunk for an hour and a half, and Fei Yan drank a lot of wine and was drunk and unconscious. Li Hongyi was also drunk, but Li Hongtong didn't drink much, and when he saw that both of them were drunk, he ordered the soldiers to send the two to rest.

Fei Yan lived in the Laifu Inn, and the one who ran the hall brought a few people, cleaned up, wiped Fei Yan's body, and let him rest in peace.

Li Hongtong took his eldest brother back to the Jiedu Embassy's Mansion, and was about to call a few maids to arrange for his brother to rest, this is, Li Hongyi stood up with a grunt, where is there still a drunken appearance?

Li Hongtong was taken aback, and said in a lost voice: "Big, big brother? ”

"Don't worry, I'm not drunk." Li Hongyi shook his head, although he was not drunk, but he drank a lot of wine, and his spirit was not very good, so he immediately ordered the maid to bring hot tea, and Li Hongyi wiped his face with a warm towel, and his spirit was slightly lifted.

"This person is not simple, not an ordinary businessman." Li Hongyi said.

Li Hongtong was stunned for a moment, and said cautiously: "Big brother, you mean, he is from the Tang Dynasty, and he came to Fuzhou to rescue Cha Wenhui?" As soon as he finished speaking, Li Hongtong stood up abruptly and said, "This is not good, I will lead someone to arrest him." ”

"Wait!" Li Hongyi hurriedly stopped him, waved his hand, and said, "What are you anxious about, although this person's identity is a little strange, there is no doubt that he should be a businessman." In this case, you first send someone to spy on him and inquire about him. ”

Li Hongtong hesitated for a moment and said, "Big brother, if he is really a Tang man, what should he do?" ”

Li Hongyi laughed and said, "If it is a Tang person, there is no forgiveness for killing." However, since he came to Fuzhou as a businessman, he must have brought a lot of grain, which can solve the crisis of food shortage in Fuzhou. might as well be calculated, so that Li Jing stealing chickens will not be lost. ”

"Good plan, the eldest brother is really wise." Li Hongtong gave a thumbs up, said and hurriedly walked out, arranging for people to go.

That Fei Yan really drank too much wine, and it wasn't until late afternoon that he woke up. After Fei Yan woke up, he felt hungry in his stomach, so he ordered a bowl of noodles, and after eating, after an hour, he fell asleep again. These situations were seen by the spies, and early the next morning, Li Hongyi knew about Fei Yan's every move after waking up last night.

Fei Yan's appearance seems to have drunk too much and he hasn't eaten any food, so he is hungry, which is very normal. Of course, Li Hongyi still has to continue to observe, only if he is careless and careful, he will not have an accident, Li Hongyi has always been cautious, and naturally he will not easily give up surveillance.

When he first arrived, Li Hongyi received news that Fei Yan was here to discuss food. Although Fei Yan transported the grain outside the city, in the strictly controlled Fuzhou City, if he wanted to transport the grain in, he had to get Li Hongyi's permission. Fei Yan wanted to get Li Hongyi's handwritten letter, so that he could smoothly transport grain into the city.

Li Hongyi naturally would not refuse, and soon, a document stamped with the seal of Li Hongyi's festival envoy arrived in Fei Yan's hands. Fei Yan was full of joy, sold the grain, and the matter was done, and reached an agreement with Li Hongyi, the envoy of Fuzhou Jiedu, that a large amount of grain from Shu could be transported to Fuzhou for sale, and the huge profits made Fei Yan salivate.

After thanking him repeatedly, Fei Yan hurriedly left with the paperwork.

Li Hongyi paced slowly, if he used his usual temper, he would have blackened Fei Yan's grain a long time ago, but he knew that he couldn't offend Fei Yan because of these hundreds of thousands of stone of grain, only by hoarding more grain, he could continue to dominate in Fuzhou City, and maneuver between Datang and Wu Yue.

Li Hongyi quickly called Li Hongtong and asked him to impose martial law in the whole city, on the one hand, to prevent the Tang people from doing evil, and on the other hand, to monitor Fei Yan. Li Hongtong hurriedly took the order and left, and the problem of food was not allowed to be sloppy. Li Hongyi thought about it and ordered more than 100 henchmen, and when Fei Yan escorted the grain and grass into the city, he had to check it personally. (To be continued.) )
