Chapter 54: A Conversation in the Dark
"Actually, I've always had a question, where did the City Lord's Mansion get so much money to buy a restaurant like this.
Even if they push the price, it's a lot of money. Qin Feng looked at Shi Ziming.
The latter put down his wine glass and replied lightly: "Naturally, they can't come up with so much money, but the people behind them do." ”
Qin Feng suddenly realized, how could the little Jinyang City Lord know about the excavation of Huarong Dao, and then buy the restaurant in advance? This must be in Mukden City, and someone revealed the news to them.
In this case, it is reasonable for the people behind the city lord's mansion to fund the purchase of the restaurant, and according to the previous ones, the person behind the city lord's mansion is likely to be the Tang family of the military department!
But...... There will also be a new problem here, even if Huarong Dao is excavated outside Jinyang City, it can bring a qualitative leap to this city, but the Tang family of the dignified military department will spend so much trouble for this benefit?
You must know that when the Southern Region Huarong Road was excavated, there was definitely more than one town in Jinyang City, and if it were me, I would only focus on those big cities, and I would not stick to the small city at the moment...... Qin Feng fell into deep thought.
"The City Lord's Mansion is already putting pressure on the remaining restaurants in the city, and you have to hurry up the acquisition." Shi Ziming put down his wine glass and clicked on the tabletop, and the crisp sound interrupted Qin Feng's train of thought.
He immediately replied: "I have been arranging for Shopkeeper Peng to dock this matter, but there is still a suitable opportunity left." ”
Shi Ziming nodded: "Under the pressure of the City Lord's Mansion, those who have always insisted on not selling restaurants are all difficult bones, and if you want to buy them, the money spent is definitely not a small amount, I know you have difficulties."
But I received news that Emperor Ming issued an order to order the Ministry of Engineering to step up the excavation of Huarong Road, and even invited the people of the Imperial Capital God Workshop, so the time originally expected to be excavated to Jinyang City was much earlier. ”
Is there such a thing? Qin Feng's eyes widened.
The Ministry of Industry is okay, after all, they eat the emperor's grain, and fishing and paddling is their forte, even if they double the number of people, they can complete the task according to the original time.
But the Divine Workshop is different, according to the memory of the original owner, these people have brain problems, and treat work as a game.
When the Qin family was still in Fengtian City, they asked the people of the Divine Workshop to build a mansion, but as a result, several people in the same team rolled up with each other, without eating, drinking, or sleeping, and the amount of work that was originally scheduled to be completed in ten days only took half of their time......
Is this a human thing?
Qin Feng's face was ugly, and he immediately ordered Xiao Er to summon Peng Qing.
"How's the progress of the acquisition of those small restaurants?" Qin Feng asked.
"This ......" Peng Qing glanced at Shi Ziming, and stopped talking.
"Lord Si Zheng is his own person, you just say it." Qin Feng did not shy away from it.
When the shopkeeper Peng heard this, he no longer worried, so he talked about what happened in the past few days.
After Qin Feng listened, he lowered his head and groaned.
The rest of the restaurant owners are really some hard bones, and they would rather lose money every month than make money, rather than sell their own restaurants, and this insistence is a fight with their own father.
However, Qin Feng also got a good piece of information, that is, the City Lord's Mansion not only cut off the supply of wine to their Moon Gaze Residence, but also cut off these small restaurants.
He was worried that there was no way to break the situation, but he didn't expect the City Lord's Mansion to give such a big gift.
You know, you have to leave a line in everything, don't force people to death, rabbits will bite people when they are in a hurry, let alone people?
The corners of Qin Feng's mouth raised: "Shopkeeper Peng, tomorrow you will invite all the owners of these restaurants to Mochizuki, I have something to discuss with them." ”
"All of them, please come here?" Peng Qing was a little surprised.
"Yes, please come here, I'm going to catch them all." Qin Feng swore an oath.
Peng Qing didn't know why, but he still responded, the eldest young master has great talent, he is a subordinate, and he does as instructed.
Shi Ziming looked at Qin Feng with a strange expression: "You have so much money in your hand to buy their restaurant?" ”
"I don't." Qin Feng spread his hands.
"And what are you doing gathering them here?"
"Who says you have to spend money to buy someone else's restaurant? Lord Si Zheng, believe it or not, when they come here tomorrow, they will not only give me the restaurant, but also pay for it. ”
"......" Shi Ziming stared for a moment, and pushed a plate of peanuts forward: "Boy, eat some peanuts too, don't just drink, you see how drunk you are." ”
As soon as the words fell, Shi Ziming suddenly frowned, and the little shadow man he had sent to follow the two martial artists had lost contact.
The other party is a master!
"Lord Si Zheng, look at your ugly face, but what's wrong?" Qin Feng said curiously.
Shi Ziming came back to his senses: "It's nothing, I'm just thinking about such a delicious wine, will there be a chance to drink it for free in the future, if I spend money to buy it, I can't afford it." ”
"Lord Si Zheng, eat vegetables, eat vegetables, this pork belly is delicious when dipped in garlic." Qin Feng pretended not to hear.
"This wine ......"
"Alas, Xiao Er, I didn't see that the meat here is about to be eaten, so why don't you hurry up and serve a few more plates!"
“......”
At the same time, the Jinyang City Lord's Mansion, the back hall.
The thousand puppets shook their hands, and the little shadow figure that had just been crushed turned into a little black shadow, fell to the ground, and reintegrated into the shadows.
"Hundred ghosts and five products, you can use the puppet technique so well, it seems that our Lord Si Zheng is not an idle person." The thousand puppet sneered, having said that, listening to his tone, he obviously didn't care, but only showed a little interest.
Seeing this scene, Ye Luoting, who was on the side, turned pale with fright: "Big ...... My lord, I don't know anything, this must be a good thing that Shi Ziming did that guy! ”
Seeing that the ghost face didn't reply, Ye Luoting hurriedly asked his father not far away for help.
But his father, who usually loves him so much, is indifferent at this moment, silent, and even tilts his head and looks at him coldly.
Ye Luoting suddenly shuddered.
"Okay, I know that this matter has nothing to do with you, let's go out first, I'll discuss something with your father." The thousand golems said coldly.
When Ye Luoting heard this, he left the back hall as if he had been amnestied.
At this moment, behind the thousand puppets, on the ground, in a circle engraved with strange patterns, a strange statue with three heads and six arms actually made a human speech.
"Why don't you make him a corpse puppet, it's not in your character."
The thousand puppet replied: "Don't you think that a brainless and arrogant waste is the best chess piece to hide people's eyes?" ”
"Makes sense, too."
"When can you come to Jinyang City?" The Thousand Golem asked.
"I'm afraid it will take some time, you should know that we are preparing to take another place."
"How sure are you?"
"It's hard to say, the gods and generals in the Southern Regions are not easy to mess with, plus that Si Ming...... For me, it's nice to be able to get out of it. The strange statue teased.
The thousand puppets nodded and said in a deep voice: "By the way, there is Tingyuxuan in Jinyang City." ”
The strange statue fell silent for a long time before speaking again: "No wonder you are so sure...... I'm afraid I'll have to make a little more preparation before I go, so you just stay here and wait for our news. ”
The hall fell silent again, and the thousand puppets glanced at Ye Heng on the side, and their entire body turned into a wriggling mass of flesh, and then from its mouth, it continued to submerge into the latter's body.
After a long time, "Ye Heng" twisted his neck and made a clicking sound, muttering to himself: "This body is really weak, it's just that, I will use it first......"
