The secret conversation between several aristocratic family members in the Yunlai Inn lasted only a short time and was over.
Because this time, Li Zhen was the one talking the whole time, and the others couldn't even get a word in.
Finally, Li Zhen, tired of talking, waved his hand and walked out of the room.
After several pale-faced family members looked at each other, they all saw two words in each other's eyes: madman!
Not to mention whether he can achieve his goal this time! Those few decisions alone were enough to make others stunned and afraid to speak.
"This is a lunatic!"
Obviously, they are not the only ones who have the same idea!
That night, Xiao Han, who was in Ningcheng, once again received a message from Fei Ying. After he opened the bamboo tube and translated the message inside according to the secret code, he immediately took a deep breath and his expression became even brighter. It has become a miserable failure!
In fact, few people know that the boss behind Yunlai Inn is the owner of the Xiao family caravan, Xiao Han!
This is because when Xiao Han was in Chang'an, he was jealous of the Ping Ping Teahouse's ability to sell information and make money, so he also ordered his family stewards to try to open inns in various important locations so as to take the opportunity to collect some information that would be useful to him.
The reason why few people in these inns know the boss behind him is because he wanted to avoid Xiao Han and avoid trouble, so he deliberately put the name of the inn on the heads of military generals such as Cheng Yaojin, Liu Hongji, Duan Zhixuan and so on. .
What? Do you still want to check them?
That’s okay too! But we won’t go there. If you want to investigate, go by yourself. When the time comes, we won’t care about picking up the broken bones for you!
Without the trouble caused by the gangsters from the government, and Xiao Han briefly explained the appearance and procedures of the Later Hotel to the steward, when the hotel opened its door and welcomed guests from all directions! It immediately became the most popular inn in the local area. Compared with other inns such as Yuelai and Tongfu, it was impossible to find Bei.
However, even so, there has been almost no useful news sent from these inns over the years!
Sometimes even Xiao Han himself almost forgets this and just regards them as a normal business of his family.
But who could have guessed that there is rain in that cloud in the sky?
No, the Yunlai Inn in Qi County brought him big news today!
"Qijun Li is going crazy! Zheng, Xie, and Wang, whether they like it or not, have been tied to the chariot by that lunatic. Now the whole of Shandong has become a fuse. It’s a bomb!”
He clenched the note in his hand tightly, and the sweat from his palms soaked the note bit by bit. When the note was almost completely soaked, a gust of cold wind blew from the crack in the door, waking Xiao Han up from his deep thoughts. .
"No! I have to tell Xiao Lizi quickly!"
After a sudden jolt, Xiao Han came to his senses and walked quickly to the case table, preparing to write a note, telling Xiao Lizi everything that happened in front of him, and reminding him to make arrangements in advance.
However, when he spread out the paper and picked up the pen, the brush, which was made of wolf hair or dog hair, was hanging in the air for a long time and did not fall down.
"Does Xiao Lizi really not know about all this? Or is he just waiting for this day?"
Watching the ink beads gathering little by little on the tip of the pen, a flash of lightning flashed through Xiao Han's mind again, instantly freezing his heart on the spot.
Li Shimin was afraid that the Tang Dynasty would repeat the mistakes of the Sui Dynasty, so he had been suppressing the wealthy families intentionally or unintentionally over the years. This matter was no longer a secret in the Tang Dynasty.
Even Xiao Han knew that in the Tai Chi Palace, there was a wall covered with the names of almost all the famous families in the Tang Dynasty.
Whenever a noble family declined, someone from the palace would immediately paint over the corresponding name on that wall so that it would be more pleasing to His Majesty the Emperor.
But now, there is such an excellent opportunity in front of us. Once successful, half of the seven sects and five surnames will disappear directly, and the names on the wall will disappear together with them!
Do you think Xiao Lizi will be tempted? !
Anyway, Xiao Han felt that if it were him, even if he just hesitated, it would be a big sin!
Thinking of this, Xiao Han's fingers trembled slightly, and the ink beads that had been gathering for a long time finally fell, leaving a shocking ink spot on the white paper in front of him.
"Okay, even if you all know it, I am stupid and don't know! Then you just have to fight with the emperor, but these people are innocent!"
Seeing this drop of ink slowly seeping into the paper, Xiao Han threw away the brush in his hand and smiled miserably!
He did not resist the battle between the emperor and the aristocratic family, because these two things were inherently opposed to each other and should be killed.
But the problem is, let them fight, but tens of millions of people in Shandong are innocent!
They provoked whomever, and how could they suddenly become someone else's cannon fodder? Even his death was unclear and confused.
"What's wrong? It's late at night, howling and laughing?"
Xiao Han was still in a daze behind the desk, but the door in front of him was pushed open. Then, Old Man Hua's old face appeared in Xiao Han's sight.
"No, it's okay!" Seeing Old Man Hua coming, Xiao Han subconsciously put the completely soaked note back into his sleeve, then shook his head, temporarily throwing all the worries out of his mind.
"Is everything okay?" Old Man Hua looked at Xiao Han suspiciously.
"Really!" Xiao Han smiled bitterly, then quickly changed the subject, and began to look at the medicine pot in Old Man Hua's hand with a surprised look on his face and asked: "Master, what are you doing?
"What am I doing, don't you see?"
Old Man Hua's hands were very steady, and he was holding the heavy medical pot without any shaking. He just put the pot on the table first! Then he took a long breath and said: "This is the heart-clearing and tonic soup I made! I have seen you looking sad these past two days. I will make some medicinal soup to replenish your mind and calm your mind!"
"Oh? Is this the legendary Qingxin Dabu Decoction?" After hearing what Old Man Hua said, Xiao Han finally cheered up and looked curiously at the medicine pot on the table.
There was nothing he could do about it, this medicine was quite famous. He had seen this name more than once in ancient books, but he just didn't know how to make it!
Otherwise, Xiao Han felt that selling decoctions and medicines would be a good way to make money and make a fortune.
"Nonsense! Master, how can I get you a fake product?" Old Man Hua glared at Xiao Han unceremoniously: "Drink it quickly! The efficacy of the medicine will decrease when it gets cold! Drink it while it's hot!"
"Hehe, okay, now...how to drink it?" He opened the lid of the medicine pot with a smile, but what made Xiao Han dumbfounded was: inside the medicine pot, there was no radiant medicinal soup, but instead a pot of dark black water. , in the black water, one or two white bubbles will appear from time to time.
