Chapter Fifty-Nine: The East Fence Restaurant
Li Wuchang struggled to survive in the jungle.
At the same time, Chang'an City was also turbulent.
There's a dispute going on in the East Fence Restaurant.
Zhang Yanbo, the second son of the Zhang family, made a big fuss in the Dongli Restaurant, and Zhao Xun was coping.
Zhang Yanbo was beaten in a sack by Li Wuchang a few days ago, and he was honest for a while, but yesterday he received news from his aunt's housekeeper that Li Wuchang was dead or alive this time, and asked Zhang Yanbo to go out to seize Li Wuchang's Dongli Restaurant in Dongshi.
Zhang Yanbo was very happy when he heard the news that Li Wuchang was kidnapped by the Hanshui Gang, and said to himself: "Li Wuchang, Li Wuchang, now you are finally going to die, hum, look at me next, I will take the restaurant you opened next, hum, you are right, you have to pay it back for everything you do, and now it is your turn to pay it back." ”
Steward Qian said that in addition to Li Wuchang, there are two partners in Dongli Restaurant, both of whom are people with no background, and when the time comes, they will intimidate them casually, let them obediently hand over the restaurant, and give them some silver, and they dare to disobey the power of Zhang's mansion.
"Zhao Xun, right, listen to the shopkeeper, you are the second boss of Dongli Restaurant?" Zhang Yanbo looked at Erlang's legs and squinted at Zhao Xun on the side.
Zhao Xun arched his hand and said, "It's Zhao Xun below." ”
Zhang Yanbo laughed and said: "Let me introduce myself, my name is Zhang Yanbo, and Zhang Shilang of the military department is my father, and in addition, I am also the cousin of your big boss Li Wuchang." ”
This shows his identity, and he wants to bluff Zhao Xun first.
Of course, Zhao Xun knew Zhang Yanbo, and said lightly: "It turned out to be Zhang Ershao, who was rude, I don't know what the second son is looking for today?"
Zhang Yanbo saw that although Zhao Xun said politely, his expression did not show much respect, he was slightly annoyed, and asked: "I heard that you also have a partner, call him out, I want to talk about something with you." ”
The tone was particularly contemptuous, as if he could get his invitation from Zhang Ershao, which was a great dignity.
Zhao Xun didn't know what he meant, and said: "Zhang Ershao, there are three partners in Dongli Restaurant, and now Li Sigongzi and another person are not here, the restaurant is in charge of me, Zhang Ershao has nothing to say but it doesn't hurt." ”
Zhang Yanbo snorted coldly and said, "Since you can call the shots, it's okay, let's tell you the truth, I have taken a fancy to this Dongli Restaurant, can I make a price?"
Zhao Xun finally understood the other party's purpose.
It turned out that he wanted to take advantage of Li Wuchang's absence to seize his industry, which was really whimsical.
Although he was very angry in his heart, Zhao Xun didn't show it on his face, and said with a smile: "Zhang Ershao, I can't call the shots about this, everything can only wait for Li Sigongzi to come back." ”
Hmph, wait for him to come back?
Now it is estimated that he has died in Nanshan.
Zhang Yanbo sneered in his heart, and said with a smile: "Then don't care about my cousin first, I want to buy your share and another partner's share, I heard that the two of you have a fifty percent share, can you make a price?"
Li Wuchang doesn't have to worry about it anyway, if he dies, his share will naturally go to the Li Mansion, and it won't be in the hands of the eldest lady of the Li Mansion at that time, she is Zhang Yanbo's aunt.
Take this opportunity to get the rest of the shares, and then the Dongli Restaurant will be completely up to the Zhang family.
Zhao Xun shook his head and said: "Zhang Ershao, I'm sorry, my share will definitely not be sold, as for whether the other partner is willing or not, Zhang Ershao can wait for him to come back and ask him when the time comes, but according to my estimate, he will not sell." ”
Zhao Xun didn't give any face at all, and refused directly.
Zhang Yanbo was very annoyed in his heart, and said fiercely: "Hmph, I advise you not to be ignorant, it is your blessing that I, Zhang Yanbo, have taken a fancy to you, otherwise there will be times when you regret it." ”
Zhao Xun shook his head secretly and said with a smile: "I'm a greedy person, the business of Dongli Restaurant is so good, of course the people in my hands don't want to take it easily." ”
Zhang Yanbo saw that his tone was relaxed, waved his hand, and said, "Then you make a price and you are satisfied." ”
Zhao Xun smiled: "Since Zhang Ershao is so polite, I really don't know what to do if I insist...... Well, twenty and a half parts, one million taels of silver, Zhang Ershao, what do you think of this price?"
Hearing Zhao Xun open his mouth like this, Zhang Yanbo's face turned the color of pig liver, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You are fooling me?"
Zhao Xun said: "No, I'm making a serious offer, this is still for the sake of Zhang Ershao's face, and I will give you a discount." ”
It looks very innocent, as if selling one million taels of silver for twenty and a half is a loss-making business.
Zhang Yanbo laughed angrily and said, "It seems that your kid didn't take Zhang Fu in his eyes, good, very good." ”
After that, he looked Zhao Xun up and down, as if he wanted to remember his appearance.
"Who is so rampant that even Zhang Ershao dares to offend?" an arrogant voice sounded.
"Third Highness, you are here. Zhang Yanbo saw the person who was coming, and quickly stood up to greet the person who came, looking flattering.
It turned out to be the third prince Lu Xuanming.
Lu Xuanming also just heard about Li Wuchang, and while he was secretly happy in his heart, he also remembered the golden doll of Dongli Restaurant and wanted to intervene.
Li Wuchang is not there, this time he will clean up his two partners, and get fifty percent of the shares, and then Li Wuchang will die, and his fifty percent will naturally belong to the Li Mansion, and he will be able to speak with fifty percent of the shares.
Since Xue Laosi's death, Lu Xuanming has no financial resources.
Zhao Xun bowed and saluted, and said respectfully: "Xiaomin Zhao Xun see the Third Highness." ”
Lu Xuanming first sat down with a grin, and said, "I know what Yanbo means, since you are unwilling to sell your share to him, are you willing to sell it to His Royal Highness?"
Zhang Yanbo was stunned, looked at Lu Xuanming, and was speechless.
Lu Xuanming gestured to him, signaling him to be calm and not impatient, and to deal with Zhao Xun first.
Zhao Xun was very angry in his heart, this Lu Xuanming was also despicable, taking advantage of Li Wuchang's absence, he came to fish in troubled waters and oppressed people with his identity.
If Li Wuchang is here, he can still come forward to call the shots, after all, he has his back to the Li Mansion, and Lu Xuanming will not dare to be presumptuous.
Lu Xuanming and Zhang Yanbo looked at Zhao Xun with a sneer.
Zhang Yanbo said in his heart, hmph, if you don't take the Zhang family in your eyes, don't you dare to take the three princes in your eyes, are you really not afraid of death.
Zhao Xun couldn't think of a good response for a while under the gaze of Lu Xuanming and Zhang Yanbo.
"Why is it so lively today...... Ah, the Third Highness is also here, and Zhou Chengwang has seen the Third Highness. ”
"Zheng Wenlong has seen the Third Highness. ”
"Han Dazhi has seen the Third Highness. ”
It turned out to be Zhou Chengwang, Zheng Wenlong, and Han Dazhi.
This is not a coincidence, Zhou Chengwang and Zheng Wenlong were invited by the old shopkeeper Chen of Dongli Restaurant.
Zhou Chengwang and Zheng Wenlong knew that Li Wuchang was kidnapped by the Hanshui Gang, and they were so anxious that they couldn't do it, but they had no choice, so they just came to Dongli Restaurant together today.
Li Wuchang had an explanation to the old shopkeeper Chen before, and if he encountered something that could not be done, he could ask the eldest son of the Zhou family and the second son of the Zheng family to come forward to call the shots.
When Zhang Yanbo came today, the old shopkeeper Chen noticed it, and he knew the grievances between Li Wuchang and Zhang Yanbo, so he quickly asked his buddy to invite Zhou Zheng and the others.
Zhou Zheng and the others heard that someone wanted to find trouble with Dongli Restaurant, so they hurried over, and Han Dazhi happened to be there, and he also rushed over after hearing what the shopkeeper said about this side.
When the three of them looked at it, the people who were looking for trouble turned out to be Lu Xuandong and Zhang Yanbo.
When Lu Xuanming saw someone coming, he frowned and said, "It's Chengwang and Wenlong, what are you doing here?" ”
Lu Xuanming and Zhou Chengwang and Zheng Wenlong had little contact, but they never dared to underestimate them.
Zhou Chengwang is the eldest son of the general Zhou Shengyan, and his energy should not be underestimated.
Zheng Wenlong is even more incredible, his father Zheng Heng not only raised the title, but also entered the Ministry of Rites as a waiter, and was extremely powerful.
Even the crown prince Lu Xuanyi and the second prince Lu Xuandong have to be polite to these two people.
Zheng Wenlong arched his hand and said: "I heard from the old shopkeeper just now that the third prince wants to buy Brother Zhao's share in the Dongli Restaurant...... Alas, the third prince is late. ”
Lu Xuanming frowned and asked, "What does Wen Long mean by this?"
Zheng Wenlong said with a smile: "That's the case, Brother Chengwang and I saw that the business of this Dongli Restaurant was so good, so we moved our minds, and we looked for Brother Zhao yesterday, saying that we wanted to buy his share, and he promised to think about it, and today Brother Chengwang and I came to find Brother Zhao." ”
Zhou Chengwang was stunned for a moment, then reacted quickly, and said: "That's true, Third Highness, it's not that our two brothers don't respect the Third Highness, but both of us have promised by the elders in the family, and the Third Highness won't give us two of us this face." ”
As he said the last sentence, he leaned slightly, lowered his voice, and pointed out.
The meaning is obvious, if you Lu Xuanming don't give us two face today, and you want to forcibly buy Zhao Xun's shares, then don't blame me for not giving you Lu Xuanming face in the future.
Lu Xuanming obviously didn't expect Zhou Zheng and the others to come to such a hand, his face was cloudy, and he was thinking about the stakes.
"Zhao Xun, is that so?" asked Zhang Yanbo on the side.
"Third Highness, Zhang Ershao, this is indeed the case, I hope you two will forgive me. Of course, Zhao Xun knew that Zhou Zheng and the others were here to relieve him.
"Hmph, didn't you just say that you could sell it to me, and what did you say about one million taels of silver, what the hell is going on, Zhao Xun, I warn you, now that the Third Highness is here, you'd better tell me the truth, what are the consequences of deceiving the Third Highness, you should be clear. Zhang Yanbo finally found an opportunity to fight back, he didn't dare to threaten Zhou Chengwang and Zheng Wenlong, so he could only reprimand Zhao Xun loudly.
Lu Xuanming's eyes lit up.
Han Dazhi, who had not spoken, coughed lightly and said, "That's because people want you to retreat from the difficulty, you don't understand this, what else do you do, alas, go home and read more books, you?"
Zhang Yanbo didn't expect Han Dazhi to intervene, and said fiercely: "Han Dazhi, I warn you, don't play tricks in front of me, otherwise you will look good." ”
Han Dazhi smiled and said, "Why? Look down on me again? Oh, I heard that someone was sacked and beaten into a pig's head because he had no mouth." ”
Laughing.
Zhang Yanbo was beaten with a sack on his head, and everyone here knew about it.
This is also a shame in Zhang Yanbo's heart, although he knows that Li Wuchang did it, but he has never been able to take revenge.
Now Han Dazhi talked about it again, like sprinkling a handful of salt on his wound.
Han Dazhi spoke again, pointed to the poems on the wall and sighed: "Look at how many of these poems are written, I heard that they were all written by a young cousin, and a young cousin is really amazing...... Alas, there are also some cousins who don't know what to do, thinking about it all day long, but they don't want to think about what kind of character he is, he is also a cousin, why is the gap so big. ”
After speaking, he looked at Zhang Yanbo contemptuously, and the meaning was obvious, Zhang Yanbo was Li Wuchang's cousin who didn't know what to do.
"You ......" Zhang Yanbo's face turned pale, and he pointed at Han Dazhi speechless.
was interrupted by Han Dazhi like this, Lu Xuanming was not angry, so he had to take the opportunity to step down, and said to Zhou Chengwang and Zheng Wenlong: "Since Chengwang and Wenlong are one step ahead, then His Royal Highness is not good at taking advantage of others, there is still something to do today, let's talk next time." ”
After saying that, he got up and prepared to leave.
Zhou Chengwang and Zheng Wenlong bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Highness...... The Third Highness walked slowly. ”
Zhang Yanbo glanced at a few people hatefully, although he was unwilling, he still followed Lu Xuanming away.
Wait for everyone to go away.
Zhou Chengwang said: "What happened to impermanence, is there any news?"
Zhao Xun sighed and said: "The Jin Palace's mediation came forward, the Li Mansion was not good to disobey, and did not send people into Nanshan to search, Brother Minglun went alone, but a few days have passed, and there is no news, which is really worrying." ”
Han Dazhi rarely showed a serious look, and said: "I hope that he has his own natural appearance." ”
Zheng Wenlong snorted coldly and said: "Impermanence has only been away for a few days, and these people have jumped out in vain to seek his inheritance, it is really shameless, Brother Zhao, you don't have to be afraid, if there is any problem, push it on me and Chengwang at any time, and pay attention to their secret tricks." ”
Zhao Xun nodded.
Lu Xuanming and Zhang Yanbo are not good goods, and there must be other means.
You can only take one step at a time.
"Alas, Minglun, Minglun, it's all up to you, I hope you can find the stunned Shao as soon as possible. ”
