Several big things happened last night.
One of them was that the granaries of the two largest grain merchants in the West City caught fire.
The fire was very strange. The night watchman would have discovered it in time and sent people to put out the fire in time.
But no one responded to the two fires last night, until all the granaries in those two places were reduced to ashes in the sea of flames.
The second is that more than 300 people died by the Peach Blossom River.
Very few people originally knew about this matter, but now it is slowly spreading.
Huo Chuanming brought sixty detectives with him, and they witnessed everything with their own eyes. Although they were shocked, the incident by the Peach Blossom Creek was quietly spread.
This is actually easy to understand as soon as you hear it.
That must be someone sent by the Huo family, and their intention is of course very simple, just to learn how to brew peach blossom wine.
However, the Huo family did not expect that there would be a master beside Li Chenan.
Initially, they all thought it was a master sent by Zhongli Mansion, but unexpectedly, another piece of news came that shocked everyone——
That kid Li Chenan, he is actually the helmsman of the Guangling Branch of the Fish and Dragon Society!
This news is somewhat unbelievable, especially for the neighbors in Erjinggou Alley, they find it unbelievable.
Because Li Chenan opened a steamed cake and grass cake shop in Erjinggou Alley for three years. During those three years, he rarely spoke and rarely left the house except to go to the gambling house. How could he become the Yulonghui who can stop children from crying at night? Where is the helmsman?
If he had something to do with the Fish and Dragon Society, how dare the gold-selling gambling house win his money?
However, there is another theory that the Guangling Li family was originally from a scholarly family. Could it be that Li Chenan was kicked out by his father because he joined the notorious Fish and Dragon Society?
This statement was quickly overturned, because now Li Chenan has returned to Li Mansion and is living in Li Mansion these days.
The reason was never found.
But Li Chenan's identity as the helmsman of the Guangling branch of the Fish and Dragon Society is confirmed.
Therefore, in the eyes of the people of Guangling City, he seemed a little mysterious and a little scary.
Li Chenan, the person involved, did not know all this.
He and Huang Sanlie were in the shop in Dongshi.
This shop is located in Changsan Alley in the middle of the East Market, which is a prime location.
The bay is huge, the shop floor is spacious, not to mention there is a small courtyard at the back, and there is an attic above the shop.
Huang Sanlie invited a shopkeeper and two waiters. The shopkeeper's surname was Qiu and he had the same first name. He was already fifty-one years old.
At this time, shopkeeper Qiu welcomed the two of them to the pavilion in the courtyard of the backyard and cooked a pot of tea with his own hands. He looked at Li Chenan and said, "Master, this peach blossom brew is really good!"
"I have been selling wine for many years, but I have never tasted such good wine! In addition, the young master's price... when the door opens, it will definitely be sold out!"
Li Chenan laughed, "I still need Shopkeeper Qiu to pay more attention."
"This is my duty, young master. Please rest assured."
Li Chenan nodded, looked at Huang Sanlie, and asked curiously: "How did you find such a good place in the east and west cities?"
Huang Sanlie said lightly: "Because this is the shop under the name of the third lady."
Li Chenan was startled, and Huang Sanlie added: "The east and west cities each have three horizontal and five vertical streets and eight lanes. The middle street and lane each has seventy or eighty shops, half of which are under the name of the third lady!"
...Rich woman!
She is so rich, so I don’t have to fight anymore?
Seeing the surprise in Li Chenan's eyes, Huang Sanlie held the tea cup and said again: "Actually, the really valuable things in Miss Third's name are not here."
"Where is that?"
"Kyoto Jade Capital!"
"...What has she purchased?"
"For example, a manor on the bank of Huanhua Stream, a row of shops on Yuping Street, and... Shuiyun Stream and Juxian Pavilion, which are famous in Yujing City."
"Shuiyunjian is a teahouse, and Juxian Pavilion is a restaurant. These two places... are often hard to find!"
Li Chenan was stunned.
He thought that he was already great for making this peach blossom wine, but he didn't expect that Zhongli Ruoshui had already achieved financial freedom.
"...How did she do it?"
"Well, the third lady can't practice martial arts due to physical reasons, so she can only practice essays. The third lady has a photographic memory, and of course the third lady can't sit still."
"So when the third lady was in Kyoto with Mrs. Fan, she started a small business... I remember she started doing it from Juxian Pavilion."
"The cooks in Juxian Pavilion are all royal chefs in the palace, so it has been five years since Juxian Pavilion opened... The third lady was ten years old at that time... Juxian Pavilion's business has always been the best in Kyoto."
"Miss San opened Shuiyunjian in the second year. The teahouse was located at the foot of Shuiyun Mountain on the outskirts of Kyoto, five miles away from the south gate of Kyoto."
"The attendants in Shuiyunjian are all maids from the palace, or women from official families who have committed crimes and were trained by the Jiaofang Secretary."
"That's why the tea in Shuiyunjian is very expensive, but many people go to drink tea there."
"In the third year, the third lady started to buy shops in Yuping Street, which is the most prosperous commercial area. Last year, the third lady returned to Guangling and bought these shops in the east and west markets of Guangling."
"The third lady regards money as dirt...well, she has no concept of money anymore."
Li Chenan swallowed and thought about how when she was going to open a wine shop, she could get ten thousand taels of silver with a flick of her hand.
He doesn't care at all whether the wine shop is losing money or making money.
There is simply no cautious attitude that an investor should have.
"Okay," Li Chen'an, the diamond king in his previous life, was deeply shocked. He stood up, "it's almost time, let's open the door... sell wine!"
Of course, Shopkeeper Qiu will do this job.
Li Chenan still stayed in the backyard with Huang Sanlie.
The look on Huang Sanlie's face became serious: "Miss Third is kind-hearted, you must remember what you said!"
"As an evil person, perform charitable deeds. Never fall into the quagmire of the Ichthyosaurus Society, let alone join in the same deeds with the people of the Ichthyosaur Society!"
Li Chenan nodded: "But next I will rebuild the Fish and Dragon Society, and the people I recruit will be evil people. Those people I deal with... I'm afraid they won't be good people either."
"I may do some unbelievable things, but you or the Zhongli Mansion can believe that everything I do is, firstly, to settle down and survive, and secondly... I will not kill a truly good person indiscriminately!"
"But I will definitely kill some people!"
Huang Sanlie looked at Li Chenan for a long time, "I have read a lot of people, but I don't understand you very well."
"But I believe in Miss Third's vision. I have only one expectation for you... and the current situation in the court is tense. We must not drag the Zhongli Mansion into this muddy water!"
This is what Huang Sanlie said from the bottom of his heart.
He was keenly aware that Li Chenan had entered the eyes of some interested people in the court.
If it was a coincidence that the fourth princess appointed him as the embroiderer of the Lijing Division, then the Yulong Society appointed him as the helmsman of the Guangling Prefecture Branch. There was something else in it.
Prime Minister Ji and Zhongli's mansion look the same but look different.
If Li Chenan became a sword in Prime Minister Ji's hand, would he be tempted by huge interests and strike at Zhongli Mansion with a sword?
