On the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, there was a slight snowfall. Although the weather was cold, the vendors on the street were still enthusiastic.

As the New Year is approaching in Yongzhou Prefecture, the streets are full of excitement.

People living in Yongzhou must stock up on pork and cabbage during the Chinese New Year.

Because, in Beigan, the first meal of the Spring Festival must be big dumplings stuffed with cabbage and pork.

Cabbage means wealth. Eating cabbage will bring you wealth in the coming year.

This is a custom that entrusts the beautiful vision of the people of Beikan, and it is also a custom that the people living here coincide with.

Stepping on the thin snow, Sect Master Tang and Sect Master Mo are about to embark on their way back to Beijing.

They were about to say goodbye to the Lin Mansion that had entertained them for more than half a month. Naturally, the two of them and the two brothers Lin Xiao and Lin Zheng had to be polite.

There is a small rule in Yongzhou Prefecture: dumplings are made on the bus and off the noodles. When sending someone away, you must make a dumpling for the departing guest as a practice.

It seems to be some kind of statement originating from ancient traditions. Today, in the morning of the Lin Mansion, sixty-six thin-skinned and large-filling three-fresh dumplings were prepared for the two sect masters.

Good luck and good luck to both of you. I hope you have a smooth journey.

After breakfast, Lin Xiao was responsible for sending the two sect masters to the carriage back to Beijing. Also seeing them off was Tang Er's head Tang Ke.

"Boy, if you have nothing to do, don't go to the brothel. Look at your body. If you get sucked dry by that goblin, it won't sound good."

"Oh, I understand, brother, you are still talking about me, you should first take a look at the bones of your body!"

One of the two brothers stayed in a brothel four days a week, and the other claimed to be wise and martial. They both spoke in the same tone.

I'm afraid Tang Ke will have to stay in Beigan to accompany Lucheng this time. After all, he is busy with official duties and cannot spend the New Year in seclusion in Tangmen.

"Brother, help me give this to the old man when I see him later."

Tang Ke took out a pair of Wenwan walnuts from his sleeves. The texture was very exquisite.

"Tell the old man that I won't go back to celebrate the New Year with him this year. This walnut is my way of honoring him."

After putting away the walnuts properly, the Tang Sect leader patted Tang Ke on the shoulder.

"Good boy, you do have a good intention, I will tell the old man!"

With that said, the Tang Sect Leader got in the car, and the Mo Sect Leader seemed to have been waiting for someone, looking in the direction of the Lin Mansion.

"Master Mo, are you afraid that you forgot to take something?"

Lin Xiao asked, Mo Tianxing shook his head.

"No, please go back."

Before Mo Tianxing finished speaking, Mo Lin ran out of the Lin family's door panting with a cloth bag.

"Wait a minute, Master, this is for you."

He handed the cloth bag to Mo Tianxing. The boy ran so fast that he was out of breath.

Mo Tianxing took the cloth bag, opened it and saw that it was a trap hand.

This mechanism hand happened to be his broken left arm. Mo Lin worked on it for seven days with reference to the mechanism arcana of Mo family.

Judging from the workmanship, Maureen is very attentive.

“You’ve done a good job and deserve encouragement.”

Mo Tianxing just praised Mo Lin. After Mo Lin took a breath, he saluted Mo Tian.

"Mo Lin, a disciple of the Mo family, respectfully sends the master back to Beijing."

Mo Tianxing got into the car without looking back. The curtain blocked the view of Mo Lin and Lin Xiao. When the coachman saw the two old men getting into the car, he whipped his whip.

"drive!"

The carriage drove slowly toward the city gate in the falling snow.

"I heard that you are quite ruthless to the Mo family, why do you call yourself a disciple of the Mo family?"

Lin Xiao was a little confused, but Mo Lin just smiled slightly.

"Because, after all, my last name is Mo."

At this time, Mo Lin actually showed a kind of open-mindedness. Although he did not learn any special skills from Lao Lu during this period of time, he also understood some things clearly.

Whether it was Lin Ruo and Tang Xin, or he and Motu, this grudge was indeed difficult to resolve.

However, if you continue to live with hatred, you will never be able to break through.

Just recently, Lao Lu helped Mo Lin overcome his inner demon. Unsurprisingly, his inner demon was indeed Motu.

When he experienced his inner demons again, he discovered that even though Motu killed so many of his cousins, he still spared his life.

According to the system of the Mohist clan at that time, the younger generation was fighting over each other. When they entered the Soul-Desolating Valley, only one person could be left out of the mountain.

However, Motu killed everyone who entered the valley, but spared Mo Lin's life.

Perhaps Motu, like Mo Lin, is unable to kill his own relatives.

Just like in the ring, even though Morin had thousands of insidious tricks to kill Motu, he still didn't do it.

Lao Lu was right, he, Mo Lin, was soft-hearted and soft-hearted.

In the Valley of Broken Souls, why didn't Motu become soft-hearted and soft-hearted?

The horror of inner demons is that if you never dare to admit your weakness, then you will never be able to overcome your inner demons.

Maureen's inner demon lasted for two days and two nights, and finally she admitted her weakness.

Facing Motu, he is indeed weak, but he also has strong and persistent aspects.

He wants to take revenge on the entire top management of the Mohist family and Momen, and completely revise the cruel system of the Mohist family and Momen!

Because, after all, his last name is Mo.

Leaving aside Mo Lin, Lu Cheng was lying in Songhe Tower at this moment, yawning.

The death energy has been condensed, but the two days of rest are still painful.

Gui Chi and Xiao Gui'er no longer bothered him, but turned into Donkey and Yang Ming to bother him.

The two of them quarreled every day and every night, insisting on earning the second place in the gang.

Donkey was very convinced that the deputy gang leader was the second best in the gang, which made Yang Ming, the young gang leader, extremely unconvinced.

Who is second between the deputy gang leader and the young gang leader?

These two live treasures had been arguing for two days without any resolution.

"Did you delay your sleep?"

Zuo Gong asked, "There are many people eating at Songhe Tower today."

Liu Ruyu, the third prince, and Jiang Gandao, all three of them will come here to eat.

Yang Ming was naturally in charge, so Xiaohua came to the fourth floor of Songhe Tower in advance to help Yang Ming with odd jobs.

"Oh, I'm a little sleep deprived, but it's not a big problem."

"During today's meal, I have something important to announce, and you have to be my witness."

Mr. Zuo Gongquan's mysterious appearance made Lu Cheng feel a little strange.

He didn't know what the important event was for the three people invited here. Anyway, he just came to have a meal with them.

To bear witness, where is the third prince here? Is it his turn to bear witness?

After a while, Liu Ruyu and the third prince came hand in hand, and Mr. Jiang Gandao followed them.

Although Mr. Jiang was slightly injured during the process of eliminating demons, after Ying Caidi's treatment, he was no longer seriously injured.

"Come, come, everyone, sit wherever you like."

Zuo Gong invited the three of them to sit at the table. Seeing that everyone had already arrived, Xiaohua carried a big plate and started serving food!

The six dishes and one soup that Yang Ming cooked today are also famous dishes unique to Beigan.

The first dish was cold braised donkey meat. When I heard that we were going to eat donkey meat today, the donkey man would not come even to death.

There is dragon meat in the sky and donkey meat in the underground. The texture of the donkey meat is undeniable. The cold braised donkey meat is so chewy and delicious.

Paired with soy sauce, sesame oil and chives for dipping, it's extremely delicious!

The second dish is very homely, stewed with green pepper and fungus, cut the pork belly into cubes, stir-fry the sugar until brown, and stew it in a large pot over high heat!

After cooking, add winter fungus and fresh green pepper. How can the taste be so fragrant?

The third and fourth dishes are a duck, two ways to eat it. Today is not roast duck, but a famous Beigan dish, shredded duck fried in sauce!

There are also duck bones. Instead of making soup today, we will directly fry the wishbones and sprinkle some cumin and fennel. Not to mention how tempting they are.

The last two are light vegetarian dishes, one is assorted vegetarian dishes. A mouth-cleaning side dish of white fungus, peanuts and celery has a great taste.

There is also a refreshing cucumber with perilla. The refreshing cucumber with the fragrance of perilla leaves can relieve tiredness and whet your appetite.

"Everyone, today, the old man and I are hosting a banquet for Shopkeeper Liu and the Third Prince. I mainly want to ask Envoy Lu to be a witness."

"Old man, I want to invest in Shopkeeper Liu, so we can reopen the Yuelai Inn."

Hearing Mr. Zuo's suggestion, Liu Ruyu was a little surprised and a little confused.

Why did Mr. Zuo, one of the top three richest people in Beigan, suddenly think of investing in Liu Ruyu’s little inn?

Seeing that Liu Ruyu was a little confused, the third prince smiled and said:

"Actually, I told Mr. Zuo that the inn we have been operating in Yongzhou Prefecture for so long cannot just be discontinued."

"Firstly, it is to better operate our intelligence agency, and secondly, it is to commemorate Liu Zi."

Mentioning the Sixth Prince, the third prince's voice sounded a little guilty.

Liu Ruyu's nose was a little sore, but she still didn't lose her composure.

"

Yuelai Inn can't just disappear, and of course we can't let Mr. Zuo's investment go in vain. Mr. Zuo also has something to ask for."

"Haha, yes, this old man like me still has something to ask of Shopkeeper Liu."

As he spoke, Mr. Zuo took out a list, all of which were expensive teas and wines.

"I know that our shopkeeper Liu understands wine and knows how to store wine, so I hope Yuelai Inn can help me collect these famous wines."

"Also, I actually have a bottle of wine here, a very special bottle of wine."

After saying that, Mr. Zuo took out a bottle of strange wine from a simple wooden box.

"This bottle of wine is a bottle I received thirty years ago. I haven't found the origin of this bottle of wine for so many years, so I need shopkeeper Liu to help me check it."

"Mr. Zuo, let me take a look first."

Liu Ruyu took the bottle of wine with both hands. It was a bottle of transparent red wine in an exquisite glass bottle.

If Liu Ruyu's judgment is correct, this bottle of wine comes from overseas.

The writing on the bottle is not a common writing, but a strange hieroglyphic writing.

"Who gave this wine to you?"

"It's an old man named Yang Qi."

Hearing this name, Lu Cheng and Yang Ming instantly became excited.

"Yang Qi? Guigu Yang Qi?"

Lu Cheng asked. Zuo Gong thought for a while and waved his hand.

"The old man had a meal with me and then left. He used this bottle of wine to pay for the meal at that time."

"I have always been careful in keeping accounts, so I wrote his name in the account book."

"Ghost Valley? I've never heard of this title."

If Mr. Zuo's records are correct, then Mr. Yang Qi should have come to Beigan thirty years ago.

However, Liu Er only discovered the whereabouts of Mr. Yang Qi more than ten years ago.

Is it possible that Mr. Yang Qi has been working in Beigan during this period?

What was he doing in Beigan for such a long time?

Lu Cheng tried hard to recall everything that happened in Beigan from thirty years ago to ten years ago. Except for the more than ten years of war in the northern border of Beigan, nothing very strange happened in Yongzhou Prefecture.

After the Rebellion of the Five Kings, Beigan Province has been very peaceful.

"Speaking of which, this was the first time I heard of this old gentleman's name. Later I also inquired and found that there was no one named Yang Qi among the locals in Beigan."

What Mr. Zuo said is understandable. Except for being almost a household name in Zhongzhou, the name Yang Qi is rarely known elsewhere.

After all, the Five Kings Rebellion fifty years ago caused the empire's population to drop by nearly 70%.

There should be very few survivors who know this name.

"In any case, all the information about this old man deserves our attention. It was only after I understood this that I agreed to invest in Mr. Zuo."

Liu Ruyu thought for a while, and then showed a gentle smile.

"Then I have to offer a toast to Mr. Zuo. Congratulations on becoming a shareholder of Yuelai Inn!"

After Liu Ruyu put down the precious bottle of wine properly, she picked up the cup and drank the wine in one gulp.

"Shopkeeper Liu is indeed a woman and a woman! How generous!"

Mr. Zuo was very happy and drank it all in one gulp.

"Mr. Zuo, why don't you just ask Mr. Jiang to witness this matter? It seems a bit redundant for me to be here at the dinner party today."

Lu Cheng looked at Mr. Jiang, who smiled.

"Chief Lu, I can't bear this witness. From today on, I will be the accountant of Songhe Tower."

"Ah? You don't know Zhongzhou anymore?"

Yang Ming asked Lu Cheng's doubts from the side, and Mr. Jiang nodded.

"I have been a scholar all my life, and I also want to relax. After all, Mr. Zuo is also a good friend of my teacher. I help him look at the stalls. I think it will be a good job."

Listening to Mr. Jiang's tone, he really likes the position of Mr. Accountant of Songhe Tower.

"Then I have to pay a toast to Mr. Zuo and Mr. Jiang. I wish you two great prosperity and a lot of money every day!"

"Master Lu, this glass of wine is disrespectful to me. Does that mean you don't want me to make a fortune every day?"

Liu Ruyu showed a playful smile and teased Lu Cheng.

"How can that be possible? Don't we have to pay homage to the God of Wealth first? Don't you think so, Third Prince?"

"Envoy Lu is right, we must respect Mr. Zuo and Mr. Jiang together and make a lot of money!"
