While speaking, the door of the private room opened, and Zhao Feng led the guys to enter with wine and food.

After the wine and food were arranged, Zhao Feng said to the three of them: "This meal is a treat, you can use it slowly, and say goodbye!" ”

Li Tao got up and said, "Shopkeeper Zhao and stay, can you sit with me, I want to ask something." ”

"Naturally, I know everything!" Zhao Feng nodded.

After Zhao Feng sat down, Li Tao asked, "Has the eunuch of the Inner Government Bureau always been like this?" ”

Zhao Feng had a melancholy look on his face: "This kind of thing has been going on for several years, and it's getting worse. Under their scourge, I, Yonghelou, have been operating in debt since the year before last, and have been struggling to support it for the past two years. ”

"Actually, this internal government bureau is not very powerful, you must know that the palace city is even more powerful." Zheng Heng interjected on the side.

"Miyagichi? What's going on with Miyagichi? Li Tao was puzzled.

"The palace was originally responsible for buying goods from the market outside the palace, but now eunuchs are sent to preside over it. Every day, they have hundreds of people in the east and west cities of Chang'an and the bustling urban area, looking at the things that people sell, just call them 'palace market' and take things to pay, whether it is true or false is difficult to distinguish, no one dares to ask where they come from, they use hundreds of dollars to buy thousands of dollars worth of goods, but also to ask for the money given to the gatekeeper when entering the palace gate and the freight to be transported into the palace. Some people brought their goods to the market to sell, and some even returned empty-handed. It is said to be 'Miyagi', but it is actually forcible seizure. ”

"Isn't there anyone who cares about it? Why don't you want to find a way to let Your Majesty know about this? Li Tao was indignant.

Zheng Heng looked helpless: "These people are all Empress Wei's henchmen, even if Your Majesty knows, what's the use?" Your Majesty still has to listen to Empress Wei? ”

Li Tao was thoughtful.

After a while, Li Tao looked at Zhao Feng: "Since it is a debt operation, why doesn't the shopkeeper Zhao sell Yonghe Building to others?" ”

Zhao Feng had a sad face: "Why don't I want to sell?" Back then, I bought this restaurant and used 8,000 guan, but now even if it is 2,000 guan, no one cares, everyone knows that buying this restaurant now is like a bottomless pit, and it will never be filled! ”

Li Tao said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Zhao, I bought your Yonghe Building for 10,000 yuan, you prepare the deed, I can pay you at any time!" ”

"Li Xiaolangjun, this is absolutely unacceptable, you must know ......" Zhao Feng exclaimed.

Li Tao waved his hand and said: "Shopkeeper Zhao, since ancient times, evil has not suppressed the good, or it won't be long before they will have retribution!" ”

Zhao Feng was extremely grateful: "Since that's the case, then I will thank Li Xiaolangjun!" However, 10,000 guan is too high, you pay 5,000 guan for this restaurant! ”

"Shopkeeper Zhao, you don't have to be polite, I said 10,000 is 10,000. Besides, I'm going to borrow you from now on, so you're not going to say no, are you? ”

"How so? Li Xiaolangjun, if you have something, just tell me! ”

……

Li Tao said goodbye to Zheng Heng and Zhao Feng and went straight to the West Market.

As soon as I arrived at the gate of the West Market, I saw a young man in white running towards him, and several people behind him chased and shouted: "Catch him!" ”

Li Tao glanced at Pei Yue, Pei Yue understood, and when the young man came closer, Pei Yue suddenly stretched out his legs and mixed it, and the white-clothed man was caught off guard, and a dog ate and ran out on the ground for a long time.

A few men from behind came over and punched and kicked the young man in white.

"Stop!" Li Tao shouted with a frown.

When those people heard this, they stopped, and one of the men said to Li Tao: "This little Langjun, this matter has nothing to do with you, it's better to leave quickly!" ”

Li Tao said unhurriedly: "Why do you have nothing to do with me?" If it weren't for me, how could you catch him, and wouldn't I even be able to ask? ”

"He broke someone else's porcelain in the market!"

"I didn't fall it, they fell it themselves!" Bai Yi had already gotten up from the ground and shouted loudly.

"Even if he breaks your things, he will pay you for it, so why bother doing it?" Li Tao had already seen that the men in front of him were not good people.

"If he is willing to pay, how can we be in such trouble?" The man smirked.

Li Tao turned around and said to the white-clothed young man: "This little Langjun, you are not from Chang'an!" ”

"In the chin Shu people's clan!" The young man in white nodded.

"People often say that it is better to go out more than less, whether you break their porcelain or lose their money, why bother so much? If you don't have any money on you, I'll give it for you!" Li Tao had a good impression of the young man in white, and he suddenly felt compassion.

"Thank you Xiao Langjun for your kindness, I am also helpless, I have already lost their money, but they still don't let me go!"

"He only lost two dollars, where can that?" The man said in a vicious voice on the side.

"Two dollars are not enough? So what do you mean, how much is the right amount to lose? Li Tao asked quietly.

"At least a hundred times, if he really doesn't have one, let him put the long sword at his waist against it."

Li Tao looked at the waist of the young man in white and saw that he was indeed hanging a long sword.

The young man in white took out his sword and said angrily: "Don't think about it, this is my family's ancestral sword, the sword is here, if you want to take the sword, kill me first." ”

"Yo he, you kid is playing horizontally, then don't blame us for being rude!"

After that, several men surrounded Li Tao and the young man in white.

"Uncle Yue, leave them aside!"

After Li Tao finished instructing, he said to the young man in white: "I blocked Xiao Langjun's way indiscriminately, and almost helped him to abuse, I hope Xiao Langjun will forgive me." ”

The young man in white was about to answer, but when he saw that the men who were chasing him had been thrown out by Pei Yue like sacks, he couldn't help but open his mouth.

"You wait!" The man in the lead glanced at Li Tao and the others resentfully and turned to leave.

Li Tao ignored the gazes of those people at all, took the hand of the young man in white and said: "I am also the first time to come to this West Market, I heard that there are many snacks in the West Market, go, I invite you, I will be shocked for you!" ”

The young man in white hesitated a little: "This ......"

Li Tao joked: "What? Are you afraid that I will take advantage of your ancestral sword? ”

The young man in white said embarrassedly: "How come? It is better to obey your fate than to be respectful! ”

After walking a few steps forward with the young man in white, he saw a shop with a lot of customers, Li Tao turned his head and instructed Pei Yue: "Uncle Yue, you go and ask, what kind of place is this, why is the business so prosperous?" ”

Pei Yue said with a smile: "Little master, don't ask, I've been here before, this is the famous Xishi drink, and it can cure all kinds of diseases if you drink it." ”

"Oh?" Li Tao became interested: "Let's go, let's take a look!" ”

The three of them finally found a place to sit down, and Pei Yue said with a smile: "Little master, the business here is surprisingly good, and it will take a while before it will be our turn to serve drinks!" ”
