After Dai Zhou personally sent the Supreme Emperor and His Highness the King of Shu away, he returned to the restaurant.
The outside was surrounded by officers and soldiers from Dali Temple. The officials and wealthy businessmen who were drinking and having fun inside were dumbfounded. ŴŴŴ.BiQuGe.Biz
Especially the officials, although it is a restaurant on the surface, it provides the services of a brothel, which is considered an illegal operation.
For these officials, this is a waste of money. But as officials, there is something wrong with their personal style when they come to a place like this to spend money.
Although everyone can go to brothels, this is an unspoken rule and cannot be brought to the table. Once it is brought to the table, there is a problem.
The wealthy businessmen didn't care, as long as they didn't break the law, even if the emperor came, he couldn't deal with them.
The officials kept asking the waiters in the restaurant about the situation. They were as anxious as ants on a hot pot and wanted to jump out of the window.
But there are some who are not afraid of death. In order to escape the blame, they jump out of the window. As a result, they either break their legs or are captured alive.
Li Tai was also very anxious. The old and immortal Emperor was actually here and spoke for the third child. What he couldn't understand the most was that since the third child didn't want to break up with him, why did he let the Dali Temple ministers surround the restaurant? Release?
"Your Highness, there is news."
Beside Li Tai, Lin Bei hurried in and said, "Your Majesty, my subordinates heard just now that the Supreme Emperor wanted to wear a coat to inspect this restaurant."
"It seems that Dai Zhou doesn't want to let anyone here go, including us. What if we are recognized by them?"
Li Tai: "Dai Zhou, an old man, dares to..."
Then, like a deflated rubber ball, he sat down on the chair. What did Dai Zhou dare not do? People didn't even know he was here.
By the time Dai Zhou finds out, he may have already met. Once they meet, there will be no room for relaxation.
"Your Highness, I have a way to get through..."
"What can I do? Tell me quickly..."
Lin Bei gritted his teeth and said: "Let's get a set of women's clothes and pretend to be women."
"Asshole, how can this king..."
"Quickly find two sets of women's clothes..."
Lin Bei turned around and left the room, then entered another room. After screaming, Lin Bei came out happily holding two sets of women's clothes.
Downstairs, Dai Zhou called the person in charge of the restaurant. The person in charge was naturally the housekeeper of the Changsun family. Since the incident happened and the restaurant was surrounded, the steward of the restaurant immediately invited the housekeeper from the Changsun family.
"Master Dai, please lend me a moment to speak!"
When the housekeeper of the Changsun Mansion arrived, he immediately came forward to flatter him. He was also very embarrassed. During this period, this restaurant had solved the financial crisis for the Changsun family. It seemed that the life of the Changsun family was about to get better, but they were surrounded by Dali Temple. .
But just throw it away, even Changsun Wuji is reluctant to part with it. He invested 100,000 guan at the beginning, and if he takes action now, it will be at least 200,000 guan.
Not to mention anything else, the glazed windows and automatic rotating tables cost a lot of money, and the dancers were all shipped from all over the world.
So, he could only come forward in person, hoping that Dai Zhou would be more lenient. However, their restaurant was operating in violation of regulations, and the most they could get was a fine.
Dai Zhou is a well-rounded figure, and he is about to retire. He does not want to deal with the sinister Changsun Wuji, nor does he want to offend the Supreme Emperor and the King of Shu.
"This restaurant belongs to the Changsun family?"
"Is there anything illegal?"
Dai Zhou followed housekeeper Changsun to the side and asked directly.
The housekeeper of Changsun's family said sheepishly: "It's nothing. In addition to running the restaurant, I also have some additional services of accompanying people to drink."
"What else?" Dai Zhou didn't believe it. Since the Emperor said it, it couldn't be just such a trivial matter.
Butler Changsun thought about it, but couldn't remember anything else that was illegal, so he shook his head decisively.
"Please, Lord Dai, for the sake of my family, please give me a lighter punishment. My eldest grandson's family is really having a hard time these days. His Highness, the King of Shu, has made it miserable enough."
Dai Zhou secretly smiled in his heart, the eldest grandson's family is also like this!
"Sir, we found beef from the kitchen backyard, and two calves were just killed..."
"Sir, I found a large amount of wine and refined salt labeled as tributes in the cellar. They are all tributes."
"Sir, there are more than 200 dancers in this restaurant, 120 of them are foreigners, and 100 are from the Tang Dynasty. When I asked them, they said they were sold in by the Changsun family. "
"There are also women who are complaining, saying that the restaurant owner forced them to accept customers."
Dai Zhou's face turned dark, and he looked at the housekeeper of Changsun's family with cold eyes, meaning, you little bitch, are you trying to trick me?
I almost ruined my reputation as an old man who was about to retire, and even lost the chance to return home in glory.
Steward Changsun: "..."
It's over, it's over, he didn't even think about the beef, tribute wine, and tribute salt. These things were given to the eldest son's family by the emperor and the empress. However, the eldest son's family dismissed the maids and servants after burning down the house.
These tribute gifts cannot be eaten at all. It is better to put them in restaurants and sell them to wealthy merchants. It is precisely because of the tribute wine and tribute salt used in cooking that wealthy merchants are willing to come here to eat.
As for beef, the noble family in Chang'an City does not eat beef. Now all the cattle on the grassland are sent to Chang'an City in groups.
As for the dancing girl, damn it, these bitches... are eating from the eldest grandson's family and smashing the eldest grandson's family's pot.
"Master Dai, I am unjust, absolutely unjust. Those yaks, tribute wine and tribute salt sent from the cattle master's grassland were rewarded by Your Majesty and the Queen."
"Those dancing girls are all bought with money."
The Dali Temple official who came to report glanced at Changsun's housekeeper and said calmly: "Do you think I am blind? Those are obviously the cattle used to cultivate the land in the Tang Dynasty, otherwise I would not report it to you."
"Impossible, absolutely impossible..."
The official snorted coldly: "I think I have wronged you. Let's go and take a look and find out."
Dai Zhou didn't dare to be careless. He didn't dare to offend the Changsun family on one side, the Supreme Emperor and the King of Shu on the other.
When everyone arrived in the backyard, the eldest grandson's housekeeper was dumbfounded. How could it be a farm cow? Why was it a farm cow?
"Damn it, who bought this cattle? It's illegal to kill cattle, don't you know?"
A servant of the restaurant was brought over, and after talking hesitantly for a long time, he finally made it clear that the wealthy businessmen who came to the restaurant were unwilling to eat grassland cattle, saying that grassland cattle tasted great, and farm cattle tasted better.
He also said that at noon today, a man took two calves and sold them at a low price at the back door of the restaurant. The servant also made a lot of money.
The eldest grandson's housekeeper sat down on the ground, and it suddenly dawned on him that someone was definitely trying to mess with their eldest grandson's family.
You see, by coincidence, I bought a plow calf today and was investigated by Dali Temple.
