"Okay, since the eldest lady has spoken, let's meet."
Yan Qi smiled slyly and asked Qu Feng to invite Mao Shiba in.
The eldest lady sat on the jade chair again and acted like the head of the family.
Yan Qi casually took out a banknote with a face value of three thousand taels and handled it casually, looking reluctant to part with it.
As soon as the eldest lady saw it, she recognized that it was the banknote that Yan Qi had extorted from her, and hummed, "What are you showing off with the banknote?"
Yan Qi said with some pain, "How am I showing off? I'm obviously going to have my flesh cut off."
"Cutting meat?"
The eldest lady was a little confused: "Isn't it just to meet Mao Shiba? How can I cut flesh?"
Yan Qi pouted: "Do you really think Mao Shiba is Bai Jian?"
The eldest lady said: "How can it be that exaggerated? If you need money for the twelve, you can send Mao Shiba away."
Yan Qi rolled her eyes: "Nonsense, I'm the leader of a gang. To tell you the truth, the beggar gang is the most profitable business. Miss, you don't know what's going on here. This water is very deep."
"Haha, Mr. Yan, I am here."
A burst of hearty laughter came.
A group of disheveled beggars rushed into the door.
They were patched one by one, their hair was disheveled, their faces were dirty, they were holding a porcelain bowl for begging, and punching willow sticks.
Mao Shiba's face was covered with dirt, his clothes were messy, and he was barefoot. He sat on the ground with his feet clasped and a nonchalant smile on his face: "Mr. Yan, eldest lady, we are dirty, so we won't sit on the chairs. The floor is comfortable. Hey, the floor in Lin's Mansion is different. It's as smooth as a mirror, and it's more comfortable to sit on than our doghouse."
A group of beggars sat on the ground huffing and puffing.
The eldest lady was stunned.
Lin Mansion has never received so many beggars.
The eldest lady had never seen such a formation before, and she felt a little guilty. She quietly moved behind Yan Qi with small steps, and Nuo Nuo said: "Yan Qi, look at them, how...how can they be like this? What kind of behavior is this? What kind of behavior is this?" ah."
Yan Qi laughed and actually walked up to Mao Shiba and sat down too. He said with a smile: "Brother Shiba is so generous, I will come and sit here too."
When Mao Shiba saw Yan Qi sitting over, he was overjoyed: "Master Yan, don't you dislike us beggars with dirty faces and smelly bodies?"
Yan Qidao: "Stinky man, stinky man, a man should stink a little, that's what he calls a real man. Brother Eighteen, you stink, it means you are the best real man in the world."
"Ha ha!"
Mao Shiba laughed loudly: "Master Yan is indeed knowledgeable."
Gulu!
When he smiled like this, his stomach began to growl in protest.
The stomachs of a group of beggars also growled, as if they had made an appointment.
Yan Qi immediately said: "Miss, it's already noon. Brother Eighteen is very hungry and needs some food. Miss, hurry up and set up a grand banquet and let the top chefs from Fumanlou do it."
"Huh? This..."
The eldest lady is a little confused.
Yan Qi, a bad guy, knows how to cause trouble for me. When it comes to eating, he can just eat whatever he wants, but he actually wants to eat at the Dahua Banquet?
A table full of luxury guests costs only five hundred taels of silver.
Yan Qi winked at the eldest lady: "Miss, hurry up and prepare the Dahua banquet. Remember, we will prepare ten more daughter-in-laws."
faint!
The eldest lady is really depressed.
But Yan Qi is her personal assistant, so she must give her face.
"Hmph, you Yan Qi, you dare to yell at me in front of a bunch of stinky men, let's see how I fix you in the future."
The eldest lady thought about it in her heart, but still sent Qu Feng to get a large banquet.
Half an hour later, Dahua's banquet was served.
The food is sumptuous and delicious.
The eldest lady sent someone to fetch the big table.
Yan Qidao: "It's good to eat on the ground without a table. Brother Shiba, don't you think so?"
Mao Shiba wore a curled beard: "Young Master Yan understands us. We beggars squat at the door every day and eat other people's leftovers. We really have to go to the table to eat. We are really not used to it. It's better to eat on the ground. ”
The eldest lady was speechless.
Her beautiful eyes turned to Yan Qi, and she really didn't understand what he meant.
Yan Qi accompanies Mao Shiba for dinner.
Changing glasses with Mao Shiba, they seemed like brothers.
After three rounds of drinking.
Mao Shiba patted his chubby belly and said lazily: "This is a good meal. The Dahua banquet is extraordinary. Mr. Yan, I have to accept your favor. But..."
Mao Shiba changed the subject: "It's rare for us brothers to have a full meal. Moreover, we ate today and have nothing to eat tomorrow. It's really miserable."
Upon hearing this, Yan Qi slapped the three thousand taels of silver notes that he had prepared in front of Mao Shiba, and said generously: "Brother Shiba, take this money and keep it for the brothers to have a good meal." If you have any difficulties, just come to me, Yan Qi, and I will definitely help you."
Mao Shiba laughed loudly, put away the banknote, smiled and looked at Yan Qi for a long time, gave a thumbs up, and praised: "Very good, you are very good, Yan Qi, I, Mao Shiba, really saw the right person." ! Haha, in this Jinling City, if you can sit on the same ground and drink with me without dissing my vulgarity, you are the first person, and the only one, no other person can do it."
Yan Qidao: "Brother Eighteen is a real person who doesn't show his face. It's an honor for me to have dinner with Brother Eighteen. Those superficial people know nothing."
"Haha, Yan Qi, you can do it, you really have a sharp eye."
Mao Shiba and Yan Qi chatted for a few words, then turned to look at the eldest lady standing aside, and said seriously: "Miss, the Lin family is one of the top ten richest people in Jinling. They have a big family and a big business. I have already planned this trip. Okay, I want to get 30,000 taels of silver from the Lin Mansion to nourish the stomachs of the Beggar Clan, young and old."
"I just didn't expect that Brother Yan would admire me so highly. He sat at the same table with me and exchanged cups. It made my heart feel like a fire was burning, hot and hot, and my heart softened. Hey, originally I planned to receive 30,000 taels of silver, but now it has become 3,000 taels. It’s really hard to explain.”
"Miss, you have Yan Qi as your assistant. You are truly blessed in this life. Cherish it. What a pity, my money..."
After hearing this, the eldest lady realized what Yan Qi had done.
It turns out...he was doing it to save money.
She had complained about Yan Qi's troubles just now, but now she found out that Yan Qi and Mao Shiba were sitting on the ground and had a drink, saving 27,000 taels of silver. She felt so embarrassed and ashamed of herself.
At the same time, I was even more curious.
What did Mao Shiba know about Lin Yihong, and how dare he ask for thirty thousand taels?
Isn’t this great news!
Yan Qi raised his hand to Mao Shiba: "Brother Eighteen, I know that Brother Eighteen's hands and eyes are as good as the sky. There is nothing in Jinling City that Brother Eighteen doesn't know. Now that the Lin Mansion is encountering difficulties, please speak out. Tell me."
Mao Shiba smiled slyly and said to Yan Qi: "Don't worry, since I took over your errand, I will naturally investigate Lin Yihong clearly. In the past few days, I have set up a dragnet and have already discovered the whereabouts of Lin Yihong and the two brothers. Investigate clearly who you met."
The eldest lady said: "Does this still need to be investigated? Didn't Lin Yihong go to Dabei Temple and find Zen Master Dabei to explain Buddhist Zen principles?"
Mao Shiba chuckled: "Lin Yihong did go to Dabei Temple, but how do you know that he went to Dabei Zen Master Li Chan?"
"this……"
The eldest lady said: "He ignores Zen, why is he going to Dabei Temple?"
Mao Shiba smiled slightly: "That's because Tao Chengshan, the second head of the Tao family, temporarily became a monk at Dabei Temple to practice Buddhism."
"A member of the Tao family?"
When the eldest lady heard this, she jumped up from the jade chair in excitement.
