Chapter 22: The Secret Meeting of the Tea House

Wen Xi has always been neat, this car Du Baozhu has just changed into clothes to go out, and the carriage has been prepared.

After getting into the carriage, the coachman flicked his whip, and the carriage moved forward on the bluestone paved road. However, before he could get out of the alley, he was stopped by someone on the street.

Without waiting for the groom to scold, the man handed in a piece of jade pendant through the curtain, and the word 'longevity' was engraved on the jade pendant: "Little lady of the Du family, my family Langjun invites you to the tea shop to talk." ”

It's Shouwang again.

Du Baozhu's eyes flashed, and he suddenly laughed: "The slave is trying to see your family Langjun, but your family Langjun has come to the door first, please lead the way." ”

The man put away the jade pendant, turned over and sat on the wheel of the carriage and pointed the way.

There are a total of four streets in the West Market, which are distributed in the shape of 'well'. The place where Li Jie met was at the corner of one of the cross streets.

The tea shop is three stories high, and although it does not display its ostentatious signs like other shops, the customers who enter and exit the door are no less than those of other tea shops.

The guard who stopped the car was not He Feng, but another strange man who was slightly short and had a childish face. After Du Baozhu got out of the carriage, he took Du Baozhu into the tea shop and went straight to the elegant room on the third floor.

"Aunt Du." Li Jie was really here, and when he saw Du Baozhu, he hooked the corners of his lips and said, "I wanted to visit you last night, but you have already left Shanglin Yuan." I have to come up with this strategy to invite you to talk about it, and please forgive me for the offense. ”

This person is not even sincere in apologizing. Du Baozhu hated Li Jie more and more.

She didn't speak, but glanced at the baby-faced guard, and after the man left the tea room, she took a seat slowly: "The slave really didn't expect that His Highness actually likes to sing." ”

Li Jie raised his eyebrows: "When did I like singing, why don't I know about it?" ”

"Isn't Your Highness singing right now?" This Shouwang is like a sticky dog skin plaster, knowing that it is useless to pretend to be stupid, Du Baozhu simply showed his true face, and asked with the momentum of negotiating contracts in the past: "Your Highness keeps saying that someone wants to harm slaves, but the person who wants to harm slaves is recruited by His Highness, isn't this singing?" ”

However, in the face of Du Baozhu's questioning, Li Jie still sat firmly behind the tea case, and said lightly: "Are you talking about Chen Yueyao?" ”

"Naturally, it's her."

As he spoke, the tea on the small red clay stove suddenly boiled, and the white water vapor rushed to the roof.

Li Jie stretched out his hand and lifted the small copper kettle to fill the two teacups in front of him, and then put one of the cups in front of Du Baozhu: "Do you know who the richest businessman in Chang'an City is today?" ”

Shopping malls are like battlefields, and the most important thing is to 'know oneself and know one's opponent', Du Baozhu doesn't have to think about this question: "Sun Fang." ”

Li Jie smiled and asked again: "Then do you know how Sun Fang became the richest businessman in Kyoto in just six years?" ”

Du Baozhu couldn't help frowning.

As a competitor, of course, she investigated Sun Fang sideways. However, she is now young and has no intelligence network of her own, and only scratches the surface.

I only know that Sun Fang is a maritime merchant appointed by the emperor, and all the goods transported by sea are from the Sun family. For this item alone, I don't know how much money I can get in a year, and I don't know how many years it will take to catch up with Du Baozhu's small milk tea shop.

However, since Li Jie brought up this matter, there should always be some reason. Du Baozhu thought about it for a while, and then he had eyebrows: "The master behind him is Lieutenant Tian?" ”

"That's right." The smile on Li Jie's face was finally a little more real: "I read it right, you are indeed very smart, and you can see the key at a glance." ”

However, Du Baozhu was not unfamiliar with his approval, and his face was still cold: "What does Your Highness want to say?" ”

"If you want to do business in Kyoto, you can't get around Sun Fang, and naturally you can't get around his master. Chen Yueyao is indeed here because of me, but even if you don't have me, you will face the Tian family sooner or later, and what I said that day was not a lie. ”

Li Jie looked at Du Baozhu lightly and said, "I promised to protect you, and I also sent someone to protect you, but you yourself refused to accept it, why did you blame me?" ”

Du Baozhu couldn't help but be angry, this longevity king Li Jie shirked his responsibility and did not change his face, which is also a skill.

"Co-author, the slave should also thank His Highness for letting the slave meet the Tian family earlier?"

Du Baozhu put the deed and exchange on the table that day from Hefeng, and said coldly: "Although the slave has a meager strength and can't find the murderer who assassinated the slave, there is still money to hire guards. If His Highness refuses to show sincerity, why should the slave take this risk, His Highness should ask for another master. ”

A trace of anger finally flashed in Li Jie's eyes, but this anger was fleeting, and he soon became calm again: "It's too late for you to get out now." ”

Du Baozhu's expression froze, and he was a little unsure of the meaning of Li Jie's words.

After meeting Chen Yueyao yesterday, she asked her eldest brother about the festival between the little lady of the Li family and Chen Yueyao.

According to the eldest brother, Chen Yueyao beat the horse of the little lady of the Li family because he heard that Wang Zhaoyi intended to match the little lady of the Li family to the princess of the Li masterpiece, so he went to provoke.

If it is inferred from this reason, Chen Yueyao should be eyeing her because she talked to Li Jie in the Shanghai Forestry Department that day.

As long as she stays away from Li Jie from now on, Chen Yueyao shouldn't trouble her anymore. But why, does Li Kit say, 'It's too late'?

Don't...... Du Baozhu touched her waist quietly, since she met Chen Yueyao, she had wrapped a short whip there, with the martial arts of the original owner, there should be no big problem in dealing with a single enemy.

"The slave is stupid and doesn't understand what His Highness is saying."
