When the beautiful woman left with the maids who were waiting behind her, Liu Xiu ignored the old man who was still standing in front of her, and said happily: "Brother Lin, why are you here?" ”

Lin Dong understood that the old man was the guard of Tianwei Pavilion beside Liu Xiu, and he would not pay attention to anything except Liu Xiu's safety, but what he was going to talk about today was related to the case of Tianwei Pavilion, and there was no room for loss. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Therefore, with a flick of his footsteps, Lin Dong instantly appeared behind the old man, and his right palm slashed out, and with a bang, it hit the old man's neck.

The old man slumped to the ground.

Liu Xiu was stunned, a little unsure of what Lin Dong meant.

Lin Dong smiled: "I got a message, come and tell you, I didn't expect it, you said that it was very comfortable, didn't bother?" ”

Liu Xiu smiled and explained: "She is the daughter of Jiang Feng, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and when the matter is settled, I will take her to meet Brother Lin and the old man." ”

"Just drink the wine and call us." Lin Dong smiled and shook his head, Tianwei Pavilion was about to make a move, and Liu Xiu was not suitable for a too close relationship with Lin Ji Inn.

"Brother Lin, how are you and Miss Yun?" Liu Xiu asked.

"I'm not as good as you, a person who opens an inn, if you don't show some strength, it's difficult!" Lin Dong laughed at himself, smiled and got to the point: "At noon today, I went to Yanlord Restaurant, originally to find out about business, but I met an acquaintance. ”

"Acquaintances?" Liu Xiu was puzzled: "What acquaintance?" ”

"Wanxian Lou's top brand Zi Han is the Zi Han that Ling Chenyue cultivated last time I told you." Lin Dong explained.

"What Brother Lin means is that she ...... in Yanlord Restaurant" Liu Xiu was surprised: "Kill someone who can't be killed? ”

"Clever!" Lin Dong praised and nodded: "King Pingshan!" ”

"King Pingshan?" Liu Xiu was stunned, although he guessed that Zi Han must have killed some dignitaries and nobles, Lin Dong felt that it had something to do with him, so he came over to inform him. Unexpectedly, it was the King of Pingshan who was killed.

Lin Dong nodded.

"Is it possible, King Shengyu doesn't want any accidents, and plans to kill all opponents with force." Liu Xiu was shocked and said: "Or, my father decided to pass on the throne to King Pingshan, and he knew about it, so he attacked King Pingshan." ”

"This is your business, how difficult it is for a prince to cultivate a strong man who is absolutely loyal, why he will attack King Pingxi and so on, you have to think about it yourself." Lin Dong said lightly: "I only know that Zi Han must have a lot of people on hand. ”

Liu Xiu nodded silently.

"What is the situation in the imperial court now?" Lin Dong asked.

"After I joined forces with King Shengyu, I have eliminated many competitors, and now, the only people who are qualified to become King Shengyu's opponents are the crown prince, me, the seventh prince, the twenty-fifth prince and the king of Pingxi, who has been assassinated. On the Prince's side, the biggest supporter is the Baume & Mercier Party, which firmly grasps the officials and has great influence in various places......"

Lin Dong nodded slowly, he had a certain understanding of the current situation in the imperial court, so that he could grasp the opportunity for Emperor Qianwei to attack Yang Shun.

After Liu Xiu finished explaining, Lin Dong said, "It's okay, I'll go back!" ”

Liu Xiu nodded and did not stay as a guest. First, it is not suitable, and second, he is now full of the fact that King Pingshan was killed.

Lin Dong's spiritual power surged underneath and leaped away.

The next day, the news of the murder of Yanlord Restaurant and the temporary closure of the building had spread throughout the capital. This news is just a dispensable news for most people in the capital, but for a small number of people, it is a big event.

The other fourteen top restaurants are undoubtedly one of them. They couldn't figure it out, if there was a murder, why did they seal Yanlord Restaurant.

Originally, they also suspected that Lin Ji Inn was behind the ghost and took advantage of the relationship of King Qingliu to seal Yanlord Restaurant. But according to the agreement of the alliance, each family found their own backers, hoping to come forward to fish out Li Yiliang, and they realized that this matter was probably not a ghost of Lin Ji Inn.

The reason is that these backers are looking left and right one by one, and they are simply perfunctory.

The owners of the top restaurants are all human spirits, so they naturally know how powerful their silver can be. If it was really an ordinary murder, even if there was King Qingliu behind the stumbling block, it would be impossible for this group of people to have such an attitude.

The only thing that can be explained is that the murder of Yanlord Restaurant is too involved. is so big that these backers behind them don't want to be contaminated in the slightest, and they have even been ordered to silence.

It is impossible for anyone else to make these people silence all together except Emperor Qianwei.

The news was blocked very strictly, and seeing that something was almost going on, the owners of the major top restaurants discussed it and decided to continue to launch free shares. After all, Yanlord Restaurant had fallen, and their strength had only been weakened by one-fifteenth, which was not enough to cause much impact. If you don't continue to launch the shares, the pipe flower fragrance and spirit stone heater of Lin Ji Inn will raise its head again.

The murder of Yanlord Restaurant actually has a great impact on Lin Kee Inn. After all, ordinary people don't know who was killed, but the dignitaries and nobles know it in their hearts.

At such a turbulent time, who of these dignitaries and nobles is in the mood to go to the restaurant?

Without the dignitaries and nobles, the power of the fourteen top restaurants is naturally reduced a lot.

Lin Dong's purpose is to greatly weaken the strength of the major top restaurants, and naturally hopes that the fourteen big restaurants will make as much noise as possible.

Of course, like the fourteen top restaurants, without the dignitaries and nobles, the plan that should be carried out still has to be carried out.

Two days later, the injustice of the share distribution began to spread in the capital.

The shares launched by 14 top restaurants began to be questioned, and the craze suddenly cooled down.

This time, no one doubted that Lin Ji Inn was behind the trouble. Because there is no need to doubt that this is the ghost behind the scenes of Lin Ji Inn.

Although there are fewer dignitaries and nobles, the business of the fourteen top restaurants is already booming. After all, there are also many wealthy businessmen in the capital. They didn't know the inside story of Yanlord Restaurant, and very few people attended the banquet for high-ranking officials and dignitaries, but the gift of shares still made them can't help but go to 14 top restaurants every once in a while.

It can be said that in addition to some business impacts, the closure of Yanlord Restaurant has not had much impact on the plans of major top restaurants. You must know that the dignitaries and nobles do not go to the fourteen top restaurants, and they will not go to the Lin Ji Inn, and the plan to suppress the Lin Ji Inn has not encountered obstacles.

As soon as the rumors of unfair share delivery came out, the impact was great.

Fourteen top restaurants have spies outside the Lin Kee Inn, and they know the business of the Lin Kee Inn.

Since the launch of the share giveaway, the business of the top restaurants has become more and more popular, while the diners of Lin Kee Inn are gradually decreasing. After the rumors of the unfair distribution of shares came out, although the situation was not reversed, the business of the fourteen top restaurants was only slowly weakening, but the business of Lin Kee Inn began to rise sharply.

Summer is about to enter again, and it is the time when the spirit stone fan of Lin Ji Inn shows its majesty, if it is not contained, the plan to force Lin Ji Inn to close its doors will undoubtedly be shattered.

The owners of the fourteen top restaurants gathered together again to discuss the matter, naturally how to deal with the rumors that have now spread.

"Damn Ma Chun!"

As the host, Wang Yuhan, the owner of the returning restaurant, took the lead in opening the prelude to the discussion.

This beginning has been unanimously agreed by everyone. They had no doubt that creating gossip was an idea that Ma Chun, the steward of the Lin Ji Inn, came up with. And this idea is indeed worthy of their scolding Ma Chun.

"The share delivery must not be ended, there is no way, only the accounts and the number of share papers can be disclosed." Liu Dahua, the owner of Chiba Restaurant, said helplessly.

Everyone nodded helplessly, they gathered this time, saying that it was to discuss, and it was better to reach a consensus with each other that they were all mentally prepared.

As Liu Dahua said, the gift of shares can never end, especially after tasting the benefits of giving shares, and no one will give up because of some obstacles. Moreover, after giving up, it will give Lin Ji Inn a chance to breathe, and no one wants to.

Since the share gift cannot be ended, the only way is naturally to solve the rumors that the share gift is unfair.

If you want to solve it, everyone thought carefully about it on the way here. There is no way, only to disclose the total amount of share paper and the accounts of the top restaurants.

The consequences of doing so are not small. First, it will cause the major top restaurants to be completely transparent in front of Lin Ji Inn, and it is easy for Lin Ji Inn to find opportunities to attack the major top restaurants. Second, the top restaurants will not be able to make huge profits by issuing more share papers after defeating Lin Ji Inn.

What's more, once the total amount of accounts and share papers is made public, once Lin Kee Inn has a way to turn things around, the top restaurants will suffer heavy losses.

After all, if you want to attract diners, in the early stage, the top players must have to operate at a loss. Spend 100 taels of silver to get a share paper, monthly dividends, if you want to achieve breakeven, the monthly dividends are about 100 Wen.

Spend 100 taels of silver to exchange for a share paper that takes hundreds of years to earn back the capital, even if the 100 taels of silver are not spent in vain, the attractiveness will be greatly reduced.

The first dividend proposed by the top restaurants is five taels of silver per share paper, and the dividend is directly increased by 50 times. In this way, it can cause a greater impact and keep the power of the stock delivery at its peak.

When the Lin Kee Inn closed down, if he wanted to make a fortune, he desperately sent stock paper to cash out the silver, and when he had enough, he left a mess and left. Of course, this is more risky, after all, many high-ranking officials and aristocrats also hold a large number of shares.

If you want to continue to operate the restaurant, you will slowly reduce the dividend little by little to about the same as the profit. This means that the more share paper they issue, the more cash they will cash out. In the end, it will become a business, spend some paper, how much silver you want.

Wait until you make enough money, or if someone sees the greasy in it, you will cancel the share giveaway. At most, it is just to attract criticism, not to the extent of offending people fiercely.
