Chapter 258: Negotiation

So I borrowed the back kitchen from the shopkeeper and fried a few dishes by myself, mapo tofu, kung pao chicken, etc., because the people in Nanliang are not good at eating spicy, so I have never seen these two spicy-based dishes.

The shopkeeper accompanied him in the back kitchen, watching him cook, and from this little girl's knife skills, she could see that this girl was a good cook.

When the dish was cooked, it was served, and the shopkeeper tasted the first bite. I thought it was very delicious. And the dishes are also novel, if this is put into the recipe of your own restaurant, wouldn't it be more attractive.

So he planned to talk to Jiang Youxi about whether he could ask for a recipe, and Jiang Youxi looked at it and knew that he had made the right bet.

"Little girl, if you want to buy your recipe, how much silver taels do you need?" The shopkeeper asked, Wan Jincai has his own way of running a restaurant, and he likes to absorb all kinds of dishes that are different from people's appetites at the moment.

Jiang Youxi shook his head, "I don't want silver taels, I just need you to grant me a request." ”

When Jiang Youxi made these dishes, what he wanted was to see Wan Jincai in person, and now that the shopkeeper has been fooled, he just needs to tell him what he wants.

The shopkeeper was a little entangled, he really wanted this recipe, but he had been instructed by Wan Jincai before, and none of these gorgeously dressed people were gone, because almost all of the people who came to him were for the battle for the throne of Nanliang.

Just when the shopkeeper was hesitating, a voice came from the private room on the second floor, "The food made by the girl smells fragrant, it seems that it should be delicious." ”

Everyone's eyes were attracted by him, and they saw a fat man walking out of the private room on the second floor, and walked in front of Jiang Youxi with a smile. I didn't care about other people's eyes at all, picked up the chopsticks on the table, picked a chopstick mapo tofu, and tasted it.

Sure enough, it tasted delicious and made him feel delicious.

"Tell me, what do you want me to do?" The fat man put down the chopsticks in his hand, poured a cup of tea, and gave himself a sip. Looking up at Jiang Youxi asked.

Jiang Youxi was a little confused, who is this fat man?

"That's what we're in charge of." The shopkeeper kindly reminded him.

Jiang Youxi hurriedly reacted, "Uh, yes, I'm looking for you to have something, but I think it's better for us to go upstairs and talk about what I want to say." ”

After all, what Jiang Youxi wanted to talk about was to snatch the throne back, and he couldn't talk about it in detail in this public, if someone with a heart heard about it and reported it, I was afraid that there would really be danger.

Wan Jincai nodded and took him to the private room on the second floor. Let the shopkeeper make a pot of tea again. "Tell me, what do you want me to do for you?"

"I want you to help the four princes regain the throne."

When he heard this, Wan Jincai was a little confused, the woman in front of him really dared to say it. Now the entire power of Nanliang is in the hands of An Ran and Prime Minister.

As the people below, they are miserable, but who dares to say so openly that they want to overthrow their rule and change people. What's more, this person turned out to be the fourth prince who the emperor ordered to hunt down before.

"I can guarantee that the fourth prince has no intention of rebelling, and he came back this time to snatch the power that belongs to his father." Jiang Youxi explained.

Wan Jincai was a little hesitant, because now it has become like this, although the turnover of his restaurant is not as good as before, but there is no need to take such a big risk to do this kind of thing, if once the East Window incident happens, he will die.

"I ...... You let me think about it! ”

One is the temptation of recipes, and the other is that although Wan Jincai is full of money, he also has the courage that belongs to the descendants of Nanliang. He was not used to the atmosphere formed after An Ran and the prime minister controlled the government.

"I have a lot of recipes here that you haven't seen before, as long as you help me, I can write you as much as you want." There are many ways to cook in modern times, and in this place, there are almost no modern methods, as long as you write those things down yourself, it is a novel recipe.

Attracted by the recipe, Wan Jincai nodded and agreed, "It's just that I don't want to face off against Concubine An and Prime Minister An Guifei, and I can do my best to help you in secret, and you can only rely on yourself on the surface." "In Nanliang, he also has family and friends, and he can't joke with their lives.

Jiang Youxi thought that he would be a difficult old bone to gnaw, and he still thought that if this look couldn't make him loosen his mouth, then he would have to think of other ways, but he didn't expect that it would be so easy to let him speak, just a few recipes, and write it to him.

As for saying that he can only help Zhao Jue in the dark, as long as he can help in it, he doesn't care whether he is in the dark or in the open.

After the negotiation was completed, Jiang Youxi made a few more new dishes for Wan Jincai, and he should thank him for agreeing to his request.

In Shangguan Bo's house, those who assassinated him were the men in black beside An Ran. After learning that all the men in black were dead, An Ran became suspicious.

Those people are all Black Hawk's subordinates, they are all a group of professional killers, how could they die like this in the home of a literary master, before this, they have obviously investigated Shangguan Bo's subordinates and there are no strong martial arts disciples.

So in other words, someone is secretly helping Shangguan Bo and opposing himself and the prime minister, or in other words, someone is begging Shangguan Bo and wants to use Shangguan Bo's power to deal a major blow to himself and the prime minister.

"Cui Ping, let Black Eagle take people, go and check carefully, who Shangguan Bo saw today, especially during the time period when the people I sent were killed." An Ran instructed Cui Ping, his heart was a little flustered, the recent comfort had made him gradually swell, after the old emperor died, he didn't have to avoid anyone, he took what he wanted, he could do whatever he wanted, except for the prime minister who sometimes said that he would be a little more restrained, there was nothing else.

If the old emperor's son came back at this time and continued to block himself, it would be too bad, and he must strangle all the means of Shangguan Chu in the cradle as quickly as possible.

And Cui Ping got the investigation results back, and officially told her that yes, Shangguan Chu came back, and also found Shangguan Bo, and Shangguan Bo has reached a cooperative relationship, and the group of killers she sent over before died in the hands of Zhao Jue and Shangguan Chu.

Sure enough, Shangguan Chu hooked up with Zhao Jue, and he couldn't find anyone about Shangguan Chu anywhere before, so he already suspected that Zhao Jue hid him, but he didn't expect it to be true.

"Can you find out what they said?" An Ran said, Cui Ping shook her head, except for the four of them, the people present at that time were all the men in black who were killed.

I don't know what they said, I don't know what they are plotting together, but it must not be good for themselves, "Since I don't know what they are thinking now, then you can help me watch him first, and see if Shangguan Chu will go to see that old man." ”

The old man put in front of the ministers and said that the child in his womb was not the emperor's, if it wasn't for the fact that the prince had killed the old king before, he was very scared at that time, and the past would be discovered.

But when I turned my head and thought about it again, now that Shangguan Chu has hooked up with Shangguan Bo, it will actually be of great help to me, because in this case, as long as I control Shangguan Bo, Shangguan Chu will naturally take the initiative to appear.

Thinking of this, An Ran decided to send someone to arrest Shangguan Bo, but Shangguan Bo was a saint in the eyes of those scholars and the people, how could he hold him in prison. This is a question worth pondering.

After thinking about it, Shangguan Bo sent himself a good reason, that is, he colluded with the four princes, Shangguan Chu, and wanted to usurp the throne together.

So he was arrested and imprisoned on the grounds of "forming a party with the four princes for personal gain, intending to rebel".

And the speed was so fast that even Zhao Jue had just heard that Shangguan Bo had been taken away from his home.

Shangguan Chu, who heard the news, was a little sad, after all, Shangguan Bo was born for himself, if he hadn't gone to him to say these words at that time, and didn't want him to help him, he wouldn't have been shaken and burned because of this.

Thinking about Shangguan Bo who was suffering in the prison, Shangguan Chu knew that what they wanted was not Shangguan Bo, but themselves. As long as you come forward and talk to them, it will be very possible to exchange yourself for Shangguan Bo.

Shangguan Bo is over seventy years old, and although he has a few years to live, his father respectfully called him a teacher when he was there, and he never treated him badly at all, so he couldn't let him suffer from prison.

In the end, Shangguan made a decision to exchange himself for Shangguanbo.

"Don't you just want me to show up? I showed up, so you let Shangguan Bo go. Shangguan Chu stood in front of An Ran, looking at this woman, she hadn't seen her for a long time, her belly was much bigger than when she had seen it before, and it looked like she was already a fetus in April and May.

An Ran looked at Shangguan Chu and inserted the last hairpin into his hair, completing the decoration of his entire hair. Look at this high-spirited man.

I had asked him to come here before, and at that time I was still thinking about befriending her, and wanted to help him ascend to that supreme position, but unfortunately, if it wasn't for the fact that he sent someone to check everything before him, he wouldn't have been murderous. "It's ridiculous, I saw you here a few months ago, and told you to take good care of the baby in my own belly, and today, I'm going to be here and arrest you."
