Chapter 178 There is a problem in Qingfeng Teahouse, and I encounter Ziyuan selling tofu

The next day.

In the north of Chang'an City, Qingfeng Tea House.

In the private room facing the street on the second floor, Li Nuo was enjoying morning tea leisurely. After a while, a man came over, clasped his fists at him and said, "Master Li!"

"Come in and sit down. Have you received everything?"

Li Nuodian smiled and nodded at the man, inviting him in.

The man was Colonel Chen. After taking his seat, he burst into tears and said, "I have received the transfer documents. I will report to the imperial mausoleum today. Thank you Mr. Li for your help."

"You don't have to be like this. It's just between you and me. We can each use our own strengths. You should keep this letter and open it after you have settled down in the imperial mausoleum."

Li Nuo handed a letter to Colonel Chen.

"I am determined to fulfill my mission."

Colonel Chen put the letter close to his body, clasped his fists again, and made a promise.

Li Nuo made a cup of tea and pushed it to Colonel Chen: "Then I will offer you a cup of tea instead of wine."

Lieutenant Chen was not polite. After taking it, he drank it down in one gulp and said firmly, "Young Master Li is so kind that I will never forget it. This farewell will definitely not disappoint you!"

"Bon Voyage."

After sending Colonel Chen off, Li Nuo went to the counter to settle the bill and asked inadvertently: "Boy, I want to inquire about the news about Xi Chu. How much silver is needed?"

After inquiring about Xichu, it seems that the young man in front of me is a big customer.

He immediately beamed and said, "It depends on what level of news you want, sir."

Li Nuo smiled and said: "What I want is the top news, about the royal family of Western Chu."

"This amount is fifty thousand taels of silver."

The waiter held out five fingers and was very happy.

Of course, he also gets a commission for selling information. With this order, he can earn 500 taels, which is equivalent to his salary for ten years.

Li Nuo smiled and pressed the waiter's fingers one by one and said: "Fifty thousand taels is enough to buy a palace on Zhuque Street. How about a discount? What do you think of five thousand taels?"

All the money sent by King Xiaoyao has been put into the "Ancient Compilation of the Golden Book" and can no longer be used.

Fortunately, when my wife came to Chang'an, she brought with her all the money earned from the wine shop, which was about thirty thousand taels.

This time when he went out to do something, he brought ten thousand taels of silver notes.

The waiter looked confused.

Where is the bargaining here?

This is cutting his heart with a knife.

He stubbornly raised his five fingers and said with an unhappy expression: "Young Master is joking, we at Qingfeng Tower don't do loss-making business. We will give you five hundred taels less at most."

At this time.

The shopkeeper of Qingfeng Building happened to come out of the inner room and saw Li Nuo. There was a flash of surprise in his eyes, but he quickly returned to his original state.

He stepped forward and said with a smile: "Xiao Lin, how can you talk about business with an honored guest like this? This young master is Ye Yixiao, the owner of the Qingfeng Tea House in the north of Xiacheng. Why don't you invite us into a private room to discuss it in detail?"

Shopkeeper Ye made a "please" gesture.

"That's fine."

Li Nuo nodded and followed the shopkeeper into a private room in the back hall where no one would be disturbed.

Shopkeeper Ye Daxian said attentively: "I wonder what information Mr. Li wants to find out?"

Li Nuo glanced at Shopkeeper Ye in surprise, and then said: "Princess Jiang Qiuyue of Xichu, I want all her information!"

Shopkeeper Ye's expression changed slightly: "Although Jiang Qiuyue was thrown into the cold palace by His Majesty, she is still His Majesty's concubine. We Jianghu people don't dare to cross..."

Li Nuo smiled and said: "Chaotang Inspection Department, Jianghu Qingfeng Tower. Don't you claim that as long as you give enough money, you can find out when the emperor goes to the urinal?"

"Young Master is joking, that's what people in the world jokingly call it. But we, Qingfeng Tower, have taken over this deal."

Shopkeeper Ye suddenly changed his attitude.

Li Nuo said: "When will it be completed?"

The shopkeeper thought for a moment and said: "Three to six months! The price will be the five thousand taels the young master just said."

"It's a deal."

Li Nuo counted out ten banknotes with a face value of five hundred taels and handed them to shopkeeper Ye, then stood up and walked out.

"Master Li, please wait a moment. I will create a document for you here."

The shopkeeper hurriedly called to Li Nuo, then took out a stack of blank pages from a cabinet and prepared to write on it as evidence.

Li Nuotong's eyes narrowed slightly, then he shook his head and said, "No need, I can't trust the Qingfeng Tower's signboard and reputation?"

"Young master... you are really a wonderful person!"

Shopkeeper Ye smiled.

Being able to be trusted by this young master made him feel very comfortable.

Li Nuo left.

After turning into a corner of the long street, he stopped, looked back and stared in the direction of Qingfeng Tea House, and fell into deep thought.

Qingfeng Tower has a big problem!

This was his first time to visit this restaurant in the north of the city.

Moreover, his identity has never been revealed from the beginning to the end, so it is normal for the waiter not to recognize him.

But that shopkeeper Ye actually called him "Mr. Li" unintentionally!

This made him feel a little surprised.

As a result, he developed a temptation.

And this test, indeed, caused a problem.

Jiang Qiuyue's news only costs 5,000 taels. To be honest, this price is too low.

She is the royal princess of Xichu. Xichu has been secluded in recent decades. How difficult is it to find out the news?

Five thousand taels is just enough to get information on the level of the city gate guard.

As for the inside of the palace, she is still a serious princess, and I'm afraid she won't make much profit even if she has 30,000 taels.

However, this shopkeeper Ye actually took his order.

It's obviously a loss-making business, why do you still want to take it?

Is it possible that you want to defraud him of this money?

Don't make trouble.

Five thousand taels is indeed a great fortune for ordinary people, but Qingfeng Tower is spread all over Jiuzhou. How could it be possible to lose its own sign just to get five thousand taels?

So……

There is only one possibility left.

Qingfenglou is helping him.

When he left, he deliberately said that there was no need to sign a document, so he did not leave the address and name for receiving the information!

This is enough to show that Shopkeeper Ye does know him!

But this is strange.

His relationship with Qingfenglou is just that of an ordinary customer and shop owner.

Why did Qingfenglou try so hard to help him?

And he also noticed what happened when Shopkeeper Ye took out the stack of paper...

These are all high-quality rice paper, and are only supplied to a few major customers in Chang'an City, and are never sold in bulk.

For example, it is supplied to Lushan College, Imperial College, etc.

He was a student at Lushan College and often dealt with these rice papers, so he knew it all too well.

Of course it is normal for Qingfenglou to have such high-quality rice paper. After all, Qingfenglou is in the business of selling information, and it can be considered a super big customer.

What surprised Li Nuo was that he recalled the letter he had seen in the front hall of the house reminding him that someone was going to cause trouble for him.

The style and color of the paper are no different from this!

Then it is very possible that the person who revealed the information to him and helped him was also Qingfenglou!

How can there be love without reason in the world?

Qingfenglou helps him secretly without revealing the purpose. What is the purpose?

Could it be that the forces behind Qingfeng Tower have taken a fancy to him?

I heard that Qingfeng Tower was jointly funded by several super sects in Jianghu, but his relationship with Jianghu sects is not deep.

With this doubt, Li Nuo left the north of the city and went to a Qingfeng Teahouse in the east of the city.

He deliberately had a conflict with a certain customer in the teahouse, and the result was self-evident. After the shopkeeper told him, the thugs in the teahouse sided with him intentionally or unintentionally.

Although it is not obvious, Li Nuo can naturally feel it if he is calculating mentally or not.

Qingfeng Tower is just helping him!

Could it be that he was a super VIP customer of Qingfeng Tower before Soul Transmutation?

Li Nuo laughed at himself slightly.

Suddenly.

He thought of a question!

When we were in Yuzhou City, the storyteller at Qingfeng Tower was recommending Lu Yihong!

It was also the vigorous promotion of Qingfeng Tower that made Lu Yihong's status and reputation in the world soar, making it much easier for him to dominate the world of Yuzhou City.

Qingfeng Tower's main business is to gather information, so it is not difficult to find out the relationship between him and Lu Yihong.

Therefore, Qingfenglou is still helping him by doing this!

If all the coincidences are connected, the answer is ready to come out.

"Lady!"

Li Nuo took a deep breath, and a complex emotion emerged in his heart.

All these changes started after he and his wife officially got married.

The lady must have something to do with Qingfeng Tower, and her status in Qingfeng Tower is very transcendent!

Wife, who are you?

Li Nuo murmured to himself.

Ye Qingyu is Ye Changqing's granddaughter, and this identity is not enough to make Qingfenglou turn to him. Also, Qiluo is obviously the disciple of the Great Sword Master of Shushan, why would she willingly stay with Ye Qingyu as a maid?

Qiluo and Niangzi are sisters?

This is far from enough!

Because even if Qiluo is willing, Shushan Sword Sect will never agree!

I can't afford to lose face like this!

Disciples of Jianzong have a transcendent status. Look at people like Beiyue Feihuai and Chu Xiaofeng, they are all very arrogant.

Ye Qingyu must be hiding something from him!

Even marrying him has some special purpose!

A feeling of suffocation came, Li Nuo suddenly felt a little dizzy, and a wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

So a peerless beauty would be afraid that she would not be able to marry?

Why did you fall in love with him at first sight and get married to him?

You know, it only took them six days from the blind date to getting married!

He was still complacent, thinking that he had married a kind-hearted woman...

It seems that everything is a conspiracy.

Ye Qingyu, what are your intentions?

No, no!

Li Nuo shook this thought out of his mind.

It has been several months since they got married, and the wife adheres to the rules of womanhood and often gets up early to cook porridge for him. He can still feel her love for him.

This can’t be fake!

At this moment, Li Nuo's mind was in a state of confusion.

Even in a life-or-death crisis, he was extremely calm, but when it came to his wife, he was a little confused.

Suddenly, like a doll that had been lifted up, he returned to the west of the city unknowingly.

When he saw a few women at a street stall, he finally came to his senses.

How could it be them!

Li Nuo's face was full of surprise.

Somehow, their stall was knocked over. A young man looked at them with eyes full of desire.

Everyone knows Sima Zhao’s heart!

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you two beauties, how much money can you make selling tofu on the street? The sun is shining brightly, and your tender and tender skin will be tanned. But by following me, I guarantee that you will not have the same delicacies every day.

!”

"I'm sorry, Master. Although it is a small business, I am satisfied with it."

A woman's quiet voice came.

But it can stimulate the primitive desire in men's hearts.

The young master opened the folding fan and said with a smile: "She is really a hard-working young lady. Although she is covered with a veil, I believe she is a beautiful lady hehe..."

Around him, a group of people dared to be angry but dared not speak.

Li Nuo had a strange look on his face.

This bullied woman is exactly what he has been looking for for a long time without finding - Zi Yuan!

Ever since we parted ways in Xiangzhou, this courtesan had caused the fourth prince to fall into coma and then disappeared. Unexpectedly, she had sneaked into Chang'an.

And from the looks of it, it’s clearly been a makeover.

It’s really dark under the lamp!

Li Nuo laughed at himself.

There are two other women beside Zi Yuan, one is her maid Hongyan, and the other is Liu Xiangjun.

After Liu Xiangjun was redeemed from the Jiaofang Division by him, he said that he was going to Yuzhou to join one of her little sisters. Now think about it, isn't this sister Ziyuan?

Unexpectedly, in the end, the two women met in Chang'an. Judging from their appearance, they must have made a living and were self-reliant.

It stands to reason that his old friend has been bullied and he should come out to help, but the doubts in his heart have not been dispelled.

I just took this opportunity to find out.

Zi Yuan, Zi Yuan, are you just a weak woman, or do you have a different identity?

Then Zi Yuan straightened her veil and said, neither humble nor arrogant: "Master, don't bully weak women like us, this is Chang'an."

Mr. Jinyi smiled disdainfully and said, "So what? Do you know who I am?"

At this time, a group of street patrol officers hurried over and were about to arrest the troublemakers. However, they saw that the troublemakers were dressed in silk and satin, and there were four big-bodied and round-waisted house slaves standing behind them.

have to.

At first glance, he is not easy to mess with. He is either rich or noble.

So, the yamen servant immediately changed his face and said flatteringly: "You are a small yamen patrol yamen servant in Chang'an County, please tell me your name?"

Mr. Jinyi was not embarrassed at all, and said with a smile: "You are a bit interested, but listen carefully, my surname is Xu."

When working in Chang'an, especially as a government servant, it is natural to keep your eyes open and memorize the names of the trouble-making young men in Chang'an City.

This one's surname is Xu.

The government officials knew this well.

The one on time!

Xu Yunchuan, one of the Four Hegemons of Chang'an.

The yamen servant became more and more respectful: "Could it be Xu Yunchuan, the second son of Commander Xu of the Supervision Department?"

Jin Yi smiled proudly: "That's right."

He just enjoys the feeling of being complimented.

The head of the government office then turned around and said to the three Ziyuan girls: "How unbecoming these girls are when they show up in public. You should pack your things and go back immediately. No stalls are allowed here."

In fact, the government officials did this to protect Zi Yuan and the others.

They knew that Mr. Xu listened to music every day and had already married eighteen concubines at home.

I don’t know what’s going on, why do you come to the west of the city with such leisure and elegance today?

The most prosperous area in Chang'an is the south of the city, followed by the east of the city. The west of the city is where ordinary people live.

Unexpectedly, Hongyan didn't appreciate it at all, she said angrily: "Master Chao, these guys knocked over our stall, we have to pay for it!"

Mr. Jinyi laughed: "Okay, okay, pay. I will definitely pay. Is this much enough?"

After a wink, the loser next to him immediately took out a hundred-tael silver note and handed it over.

Hongyan smiled disdainfully: "Ten taels is enough. As much as you need, we won't be greedy for your money."

snort.

Remember back in Zuiyueju, scenes of spending huge sums of money often happened, just when they had never seen the world?

How could the maid of her dignified courtesan... turn her eyes at money?

Now, they are self-reliant. Although it is a little harder, they also feel at ease.
