Li Jie didn't bother to explain to him, so he ordered someone to step forward and open the bundle of firewood, revealing a long sword! The surrounding people had already stayed far away, and they were even more frightened when they saw the long sword. They quickly took a few steps back, fearing that they would be harmed.
Li Jie broke out in cold sweat. Fortunately, he was smart! He quickly ordered Li Qingshi to arrest the person and send him to prison.
I frowned and ignored him. He has been behind me for a while. If he comes for me, there are many opportunities to do it.
Just when I was about to step into the city, an unexpected person walked towards me.
Sima Li was also stunned when he saw me. He quickly took two steps, bowed and said, "I have met your Majesty."
Li Qingshi next to him was so close that he was already dizzy when he heard Sima Li's name. He didn't know what evil he had done, and why everyone seemed to be playing riddles with him today.
I looked around and saw that there was no one around, smiled slightly, and said, "Just call me Sir. Why are you here?"
Sima Li raised his head and was about to speak when he suddenly saw the man being escorted by two people behind him. He quickly replied: "Come back... Sir, I'm here to pick you up."
"Pick someone up? Pick up who?"
Following his gaze, I looked at the captured man suspiciously, then looked back at Sima Li. Why, is my sixth sense so accurate? Is there really something wrong with Sima Li?
Sima Li saw me staring at him and immediately reacted and explained: "Sir, the person who was arrested is a good friend of mine. I wonder what crime he committed?"
I pursed my lips, and Li Jie responded: "This man hides his sword and wants to sneak into Xianyang. I suspect he is an assassin."
Sima Li smiled helplessly.
"Sir, Master Li, this man is my friend for many years and cannot be an assassin. He is from Huaiyin and has lived in Huaiyin for more than ten years. Everyone there knows him. As for the sword, this sword was handed down from his ancestors. Yes, I have been wearing it on weekdays, maybe because I was afraid that Xianyang would not allow me to carry a sword, so I hid it."
"Han Xin, why don't you take out your photo ID and show it to the adults!"
"Who?" When I heard Sima Li's words, I was stunned for a moment, and then asked in disbelief: "What did you just call him?".
Sima Li was startled by my reaction and quickly replied carefully: "Sir, his name is Han Xin. Is there anything wrong with him?"
What's wrong? That is very wrong!
Fate, wonderful! Because I was worried about not being able to control Han Xin, I never sent anyone to look for him. I didn’t expect to see him here today! The world is really small.
I looked at Han Xin curiously. Although he was wronged, he didn't say a word and was as calm as water.
"Li Jie, go check him out. If there's no problem, let him go."
After that, I didn't talk to Sima Li and Han Xin anymore, and went straight into the city.
These two people, haha, let’s wait and see...
Not long after, Meng He and I arrived at Wanli Xiangjiu House. As soon as we entered, we saw Xiang Zheng sitting at the desk, and Ji Yong was teaching her how to read the words on the account book. Li Qing ran away somewhere, while Ying Lan rested her head on her right hand and dozed off...
When Ziyong saw me coming in, he immediately stood up and saluted: "I've met you, sir."
When Ying Lan heard the movement, she opened her eyes in a daze and glanced around, and then she saw me.
He quickly stood up in surprise and bowed.
"I've seen you, sir. Why are you free to come here today?"
I smiled and said teasingly: "I came to see how our master Lan is running his shop. Unexpectedly, he has already started doing business with Duke Zhou."
Ying Lan's face turned red and she whispered: "It's not Lan Chanzao, it's just that there is really nothing to sell..."
I laughed and said, "I'm kidding you. I'm here just to think of a solution for you. Where is that girl Baling?"
"Hey, someone in their family went back to Shu to transport goods a few days ago. Sister Baling said she missed her mother, so she went back to Shu with the caravan. It is estimated that she will be back in two months."
I nodded. With their family members following me, there shouldn't be any danger. The Ba clan has more than 2,000 bodyguards approved by the imperial court, not to mention the number of people who mine cinnabar for their family in Shu, which is more than 20,000. This shows how much Ying Zheng trusts Ba Widow Qing.
"Where's Xiang? How's it going?"
I looked at Xiang who was staring at me with wide eyes. The little girl's face was much rosier, and the scar on her neck had begun to scar. She was also neatly dressed, wearing an off-white short robe, and her eyes were watery, which made her very attractive.
Ying Lan glanced at Xiang and said with a smile: "She's fine now, but she's still a little afraid of people. She can speak some simple Guanzhong dialect. Ji Yong is teaching her literacy and Guanzhong dialect."
"Well, okay. Follow me to the backyard, and we'll discuss how to make the shop's business prosperous."
The two of them arrived in the backyard hall, and Ying Lan poured a glass of water with a smile on his face.
"Your Majesty, you have been very tired recently. In the past two months, there has been a lot of news in Xianyang, saying that the victory of Gushui has made us Qin people feel proud and proud, and they are all praising Your Majesty for your wisdom and martial prowess!"
"Haha, that's because of the brilliance and prowess of our Great Qin soldiers, and it's not just my fault."
Ying Lan took the bowl in my hand, added some tea, put it back in front of me, and smiled.
"Your Majesty is too self-effacing. Your Majesty is busy with so many political affairs every day, so there is no need to come to the shop often. Shang Shifu will send wine here every month. In addition to the taxes paid to the treasury, there are already 800 gold in the shop. ! Lan has never seen so much money in her life."
Seeing her eyes shining brightly, I gave her a gesture and said teasingly: "We haven't seen each other for a long time. How come you have become a money addict? You are satisfied with such a small amount of money?"
Ying Lan's eyes widened: "Your Majesty, isn't this much? Eight hundred gold is enough to buy two houses in Xianyang!"
I shook my head and gave her a roll of my eyes: "You have been with me for so many years! If I tell you, with your little money, you can't even make up the top of the wealth of the Ba and Wu clans. Would you believe it?" ?”
Ying Lan covered her mouth and suddenly woke up: "So Sister Taoyao is so rich!"
I smiled and shook my head.
"Okay, shut your mouth. I have two things to do here this time. First, buy the shops on the left and right, and make one into a restaurant and the other into an inn. The decoration must be extremely luxurious; second, in two days, Someone will come from Jiang Zuo House and bring you iron pots, shovels, stools, tables, etc. Chef Jia from Shang Shi House will teach you how to make dough and stir-fry. Once you learn how to make noodles, the restaurant will officially open. .”
Ying Lanqi said: "Your Majesty, apart from the dough food, I have seen you make dumplings, how come I haven't heard of other things?"
I stood up and stamped my numb feet: "You will know when the time comes. In addition, the restaurant is called... Zhongming Pavilion, and the inn is called... Baoyue Tower."
Ying Lan hissed.
"Your Majesty, Baoyue Building is okay, and it can be used as an inn. Isn't this Zhongming Pavilion a bit... too crazy..."
"Hahaha, Zhongming Pavilion is where Zhongming Dingshi is! Hang this sentence in the main hall of Zhongming Pavilion later! Tell those people, no money? Don't even come in!"
Ying Lan was stunned and thought to herself: 'Why does Your Majesty seem so out of place here...'
