Chang'an City, East City, East Fence Restaurant.

At dinner time, the business of Dongli Restaurant is as good as ever.

The old storyteller in the hall is still very popular, the fairy story The legend of the White Snake is over, and now it is a ghost story, about a female ghost Nie Xiaoqian and scholar Ning Caichen's ghost love.

The crowd shouted wonderfully.

There are a few new works hanging out in the private room on the second floor, which are very exciting, and I heard that it is still the cousin of the owner of this restaurant, and many people are very interested in the so-called cousin.

The old shopkeeper took the trouble to explain that his cousin had passed away, which caused an exclamation every time.

The county lord of Lu Ting will come to Dongli Restaurant every day, not specifically to eat and drink, but to ask about new works, and occasionally pull in Lin Qin, the eldest lady of the Lin family, and Guo Yunling, the eldest lady of the Guo family.

Naturally, I am very happy to have a new work, and if there is no new work, I will go to a private room, because the poems in each private room are different.

Sometimes she is interested, and she has to change five or six private rooms for a meal, and the people who are replaced naturally dare not have opinions, and there are also young people who love the county lord in their hearts, and they will have the courage to discuss poetry with the county lord.

"Li Bai has passed away, Li He has also passed away, and this new Qin Guan has also passed away, Li Wuchang's cousins have all passed away, how can it be so coincidental, shopkeeper Chen, what is going on?"

Lu Ting looked at the song "Queqiao Immortal" on the wall, looked at the shopkeeper Chen who was standing respectfully on the side, and asked questions.

How could it be so coincidental, but Li Wuchang has so many talented cousins.

How could it be so coincidental that these cousins have all passed away.

Shopkeeper Chen laughed dryly and said, "This ...... God is jealous of talents, yes, it is God of jealousy of talents!"

I smiled bitterly in my heart, there are still many cousins who haven't appeared.

"If the love between the two is long, how can it be in the morning and twilight!" Lin Qin read a sentence to the poem, and sighed with a complicated expression.

Guo Yunling didn't speak, thinking of Li Wuchang in his heart.

She heard from her brother that Li Wuchang was arrested by bandits, as for who it was, it was not clear, and her brother deduced that it might be a Khitan spy.

When she first heard the news, her heart trembled, as if she had been struck by a sledgehammer.

Without Lu Ting's invitation, she came here every day just to get news of Li Wuchang, but unfortunately nearly ten days have passed, and Li Wuchang still has no news.

When Lin Qin read the poem just now, Guo Yunling thought of the poem that Li Wuchang read to her not long ago.

"The spring silkworm is dead to the end, and the wax torch turns to ash and tears begin to dry. ”

She felt that she missed Li Wuchang very much.

It's ridiculous, how could she miss that scoundrel.

"Yun Ling, what's wrong with you?" Lin Qin noticed Guo Yunling's abnormality and asked.

"It's nothing, it's a well-written poem. Guo Yunling covered up.

"It's not just as simple as writing well, it's just superb, when Li Wuchang comes back, I must catch him and ask, where are his cousins, I don't believe that so many cousins are gone. Lu Ting pouted.

She didn't know that something had happened to Li Wuchang.

The Li family's rhetoric to the outside world is that Li Wuchang went out of the city to run errands and will not be able to come back for a while.

There are very few people who know that Li Wuchang has been kidnapped, and even fewer people know that the gang is a gangster of the Hanshui Gang.

Guo Yunlei heard Zhou Chengwang mention it, but it was not very detailed, he speculated that he was a Khitan spy, so Guo Yunling would know that Li Wuchang had been kidnapped.

Lu Ting said to Shopkeeper Chen again: "Shopkeeper Chen, do you have any new dishes today?"

Shopkeeper Chen replied: "No, this will not be available until the big proprietor comes back, and the new dishes are all thought out by him." ”

Lu Ting sighed in disappointment and said, "That's the same, one for each of the specialties, and one more for that Laba porridge." ”

Ever since she drank Laba porridge once, she has been deeply fascinated and must order it every time she comes.

Shopkeeper Chen said apologetically: "Don't you want to try salty bone porridge from the county master, there is no Laba porridge today?"

Lu Ting was stunned for a moment and said, "How is it possible, although your porridge is selling well, but now it's just dinner time, and it's sold out?"

Many customers love that porridge, and the restaurant prepares a lot of it every day.

Shopkeeper Chen smiled bitterly and said: "Lord Ting, that's the case, today's guy is not well prepared, and he probably won't be able to survive today." ”

Lu Ting cured it, waved her hand, and let the shopkeeper Chen go down, and she appreciated the poetry again.

Back kitchen.

Zhao Xun looked at the kneeling young man in front of him, his eyes were gloomy, and he wanted to kill.

"Say, who told you to poison the porridge?"

Fortunately, Li Wuchang designed a complete set of processes, and there was a special procedure for drug testing, and found a problem, otherwise the big pot of Laba porridge with raw grass and black powder in front of him would be served on the table.

Grass Wu is also known as broken intestine grass, and the unprocessed raw grass Wu is extremely toxic.

It almost happened.

The guy trembled, and wanted to open his mouth several times to say, but he didn't seem to dare.

The other guys standing on the side didn't dare to speak, this matter was too big.

"Do you know how many people you're going to kill by doing this? Zhao Xun roared.

The guy was finally a little scared, kowtowed, and begged bitterly: "The little one is unwilling, someone is forcing him to ask, if I don't do it, he will threaten me, and he will kill my whole family, the owner, the little one really can't help it?"

Then he said the names of some hooligan ruffians, all of whom were notoriously scoundrels.

Zhao Xun frowned and fell into deep thought.

These scoundrels must have been bought.

The first thing that came to Zhao Xun's mind was Zhang Yanbo.

A few days ago, a scoundrel came to the restaurant to make trouble, Zhao Xun investigated, and found that the ruffian who made the trouble was related to the Zhang family, and it was the housekeeper of the Zhang family who gave the money.

Zhao Xun knew him, the last time he sent someone to assassinate Li Wuchang in Xuanpingfang, it was the housekeeper.

This time, someone disregarded other people's lives and directly put the grass black powder into the porridge.

In order to destroy the East Fence Restaurant, it was simply frustrating.

Although I don't know if it's Zhang Yanbo's attention, it shouldn't be out of the relationship, and it should be checked.

But now Zhao Xun can't spare his hands and feet, and he must keep an eye here every day, just in case.

"You go home now, reflect on it, I'll deal with this matter, don't start work these days, wait until I'm done." "Zhao Xun didn't feel sorry for that guy.

The lives of family members are threatened, and it is inevitable to do something crazy.

The guy kowtowed again and again, and went with a thousand thanks.

Zhao Xun explained that the others must pay attention to the safety of the meal, and then returned to his special room, thinking about how to deal with this problem.

I can't get a single note for a long time.

Open guns are easy to dodge, hidden arrows are difficult to prevent, and now that Li Wuchang is not here, things are not easy to handle, even if it is found out that Zhang Yanbo did it, it is not easy to come out and teach him a lesson.

I'm worried, the guy came to report, the big boss is back.

Zhao Xun was overjoyed, and when he opened the door, he saw Li Wuchang walking towards him with Jiang Minglun.

"Stunned, Minglun...... I'm back, alas, I'm in a hurry to die during this time, and if you don't come back, I'm going to Nanshan to find you. ”

Several people returned to the room and said hello, all very excited.

Li Wuchang roughly talked about what happened during this time, and pointed out the battle between the Hanshui Gang and the Jin Palace, but he didn't go into too much detail, because it was too complicated.

Rao is like this, and Zhao Xun and Jiang Minglun were also shocked into a cold sweat.

Li Wuchang said again: "This time it's really thanks to Minglun to go, otherwise it would be really dangerous." ”

Jiang Minglun waved his hand and said, "I really didn't help much, don't say that." ”

Li Wuchang said that he had helped a lot, and it was an exaggeration to say that Jiang Minglun had already finished the battle when he arrived.

This time Li Wuchang had an accident, and even the Li Mansion did not send anyone to rescue him, but Jiang Minglun entered the dense forest single-handedly, and Li Wuchang was still very moved.

Li Wuchang signaled that Jiang Minglun did not need to be modest, and said to Zhao Xun: "I know that Brother Xun'er is not easy here, I didn't even go home after returning to Chang'an, I came here directly, how about it, is someone coming to the restaurant for trouble?"

Zhao Xun sighed and told all the experiences of these days.

Including Lu Xuanming and Zhang Yanbo, they want to buy and sell.

The housekeeper of the Zhang family bribed the ruffian to come to the restaurant to make trouble.

There is also the poisoning incident that happened today.

Li Wuchang said: "I knew that someone took advantage of my absence to stab me, and even did such an obscene thing as poisoning?"

Grandma is a bear, and she is too bold.

After Jiang Minglun listened, he slapped the table on the spot and scolded: "Stunned, this matter can't be left like this, they clearly want to bring down our Dongli Restaurant." ”

Li Wuchang nodded and said, "Of course you can't count it like this, this time it's lucky, there was no accident." ”

After a pause, he said: "That's it, Brother Xun will investigate the matter of grass and black powder, and see if Zhang Ershao is doing a ghost, Minglun stared at the restaurant, just in case, I will go to the house to explore the wind." ”

Zhao Xun and Jiang Minglun nodded.

Li Wuchang snorted coldly and said, "If it is really Zhang Ershao who is a ghost, then this time it will not be as simple as 70,000 taels, and he really wants the blood of the Zhang family." ”

Jiang Minglun said worriedly: "What if Lu Xuanming also has a share?"

Li Wuchang's eyes were cold, and he said, "What did Brother Xun say?"

Zhao Xun said fiercely: "Do you want to send out a flyer again, so that the people in Chang'an City can see his face?"

After a pause, he continued: "Of course, if you have a better way, I will never object to it. ”

Jiang Minglun saw that Li Wuchang and Zhao Xun did not take the prince of the dynasty in their eyes at all, and his heart swelled with pride, and he echoed: "I must have a big deal with you this time." ”

Li Wuchang said coldly: "I'm in the open, attract their attention, you are hiding in the dark, you must check carefully, it is best to get evidence, if it is really related to Lu Xuanming, it is a big deal that I will directly sue the imperial historian Master Tang, and simply stab him in the bottom, grandma is a bear." ”

Tang Zhifeng, the current imperial historian, is jealous and hateful, as long as he is not used to it, he will play it directly, confront Lin Yong, reprimand His Royal Highness the Prince, and participate in the Taiwei.

However, His Majesty was extremely gracious to him, so that all the officials were afraid of him.

"Isn't that going to be too hard? There's no room to turn around. Zhao Xun was a little worried.

Tang Zhifeng's style is known throughout Chang'an City, and he is notoriously ruthless.

If the Caowu incident was really instigated by Lu Xuanming, and Tang Zhifeng knew about it, it would definitely cause a storm in the city, and Lu Xuanming would certainly lose face at that time, but Li Wuchang would not be happy.

This is considered a mortal feud, and there is no room for it.

Jiang Minglun also felt a little risky.

Li Wuchang smiled: "Don't worry, I won't use that trick easily, I will think of other ways." ”

After a pause, he said fiercely: "It's better that this matter has nothing to do with Lu Xuanming, otherwise, don't blame me for being arrogant." ”
