Volume 4: The Case of Dust in the Mirror Chapter 108: No Good Banquet
After Qingshan left, Li Waner looked at Duan Ming: "Mr. Duan, you just agreed?"
"Well, what else?" Duan Ming smiled and nodded: "It is certain that there is no good banquet, but since they invite me here so grandly, they will never go too far."
"But this is also very dangerous." Li Waner said, "If something happens to you..."
"Don't worry, I have my own sense of discretion." Duan Ming said: "Just in time, I also want to see what role the Changsheng Cult played in this case!"
"Okay." Looking at Duan Ming's expression, Li Waner sighed: "Mr. Duan, just be careful."
"Well, don't worry." Duan Ming narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded.
The next day, Duan Ming did not go out. At this moment, almost all the information that could be collected outside had been collected. The next step was to look at Li Waner.
So early in the morning, Li Waner left Jing'an Palace and went directly to the palace.
Soon, it was almost noon, and a carriage slowly stopped at the door of Jing'an Prince's Mansion. Duan Ming got the news and left Jing'an Prince's Mansion directly and got on the carriage.
There was silence all the way, and after a while, the carriage slowly stopped in front of a magnificent restaurant.
When he opened the curtain, Duan Ming's eyes lit up, and he lived up to his reputation.
Huangcheng Pavilion is located on Zhuque Street in Shengdu, the capital of Qi Dynasty. It is a five-story restaurant that is magnificent and extravagant.
A pair of couplets are written on both sides of the five-meter-high vermilion gate: "Invincible from south to north, the imperial city is the best pavilion in the world."
Directly above the gate are three large hollow characters with flying dragons and phoenixes - Huangcheng Pavilion.
It is said that Huangcheng Pavilion is a restaurant jointly owned by the richest man in the world, Cai Wanguan, and the royal family. The three-character plaque "Huangcheng Pavilion" was personally mentioned by His Majesty today, and the couplets were written by Cai Wanguan.
Entering the Imperial City Pavilion, you will see an even more magnificent scene, with gold and silver decorations everywhere, and even the surrounding reliefs and paintings are all gilded.
There are not many guests in the Imperial City Pavilion, but they are not too few. There are only a dozen tables on the entire first floor, and the huge lobby is completely empty.
Of course, this does not mean that the Imperial City Department is losing money, but it does not mean that there are too many people in the entire Imperial City who are qualified to enter here to eat.
After all, here, even a sip of water is worth gold.
"Mr. Duan, you are here." Qingshan saw Duan Ming's arrival and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The master of the palace is waiting for you on the fourth floor."
"Fourth floor?" Duan Ming raised his eyebrows. Although he had never been here before, Li Waner had already explained it to Duan Ming yesterday.
Although the Imperial City Pavilion has five floors, most people can only enter the first three floors at most.
The lobby on the first floor is the simplest, as long as you have money, it is also where most diners come here to stay.
There are several large private rooms on the second floor. Only those with wealth and reputation can enter.
The third floor is a small independent private room. Only officials of third rank or above, the richest man in the world, the famous general, and the rich old gentleman are qualified to enter.
The fourth floor is different from the third floor. Those who can enter the fourth floor are only the princes and princesses, the twelve lords of the Palace of Eternal Life, the ten princes in the world, and the prime minister of the dynasty... Only the most noble and noble people are qualified to enter.
Even Li Waner, the princess of Princess Mingzhu, cannot enter the fourth floor to eat.
As for the fifth floor, there are only two people in the world who can enter the fifth floor to eat - His Majesty and the Queen.
Of course, if the distinguished people on the fourth or fifth floor want to invite others to have a meal with them, that is also possible.
That's why Duan Ming had the opportunity to enter the fourth floor.
Under the leadership of Qingshan, Duan Ming arrived at the fourth floor. As soon as he stepped out of the stairs, he smelled an alluring fragrance.
"Mr. Duan, you are here." Palace Master Chi Yuan said to Duan Ming with a smile: "The food and drinks are ready. Please take a seat."
"Tsk tsk, you are worthy of being the master of the Palace of Eternal Life. His handiwork is extraordinary!" Duan Ming sat opposite the master of the Palace of Chi Yuan, stretched out his chopsticks and picked up a piece of meat that was full of color, flavor and flavor: "You know what happened today?
Duanfan, I haven’t eaten since last night, so I still have some left in my stomach!”
"Haha, Mr. Duan really doesn't stick to trivial matters, just enjoy it." Palace Master Chi Yuan said with a smile.
"Yeah." Duan Ming stuffed meat into his mouth one bite at a time, not caring that his face was stained with oil.
"Look." Master Chi Yuan said to Qingshan on the side: "I like Mr. Duan's relaxed attitude. Ever since I became the master of Chi Yuan Hall of the Immortality Sect, no one in the world will be so relaxed in front of me.
There are not many people left."
"Mr. Duan is indeed extraordinary." Qingshan nodded.
"By the way, Mr. Duan." Palace Master Chi Yuan looked at Duan Ming: "Is the house still satisfactory?"
"Satisfied, satisfied." Duan Ming struggled to swallow the meat in his mouth and said with a smile: "The house is big enough, the environment is good enough, the maid is pretty enough, and the servants are smart enough."
"It's just..." As soon as the words changed, Duan Ming suddenly said: "I am born with a low life, and I still can't get used to living there. It's not as comfortable as my Leyi Alley. I can only go back and live there occasionally."
"Haha, you'll get used to it if you live more." Palace Master Chi Yuan said: "I heard that Mr. Duan is here and still living in Jing'an Prince's Mansion. This is too inconvenient."
As he spoke, Palace Master Chi Yuan took out a small box and placed it in front of Duan Ming: "The house on Qinglong Street is not big, and the environment is not as good as the one in Linyang City, so I gave it to Mr. Yu to stay temporarily."
"The atmosphere is the atmosphere! When we meet, we either treat him to a meal or give him a house. As expected of the master of the Immortality Sect, he is so atmospheric!" Duan Ming stretched out a finger: "It's more atmospheric than the ozone layer!"
"Ah?" Palace Master Chi Yuan was stunned: "What ozone layer?"
"By the way, Palace Master, why don't you eat?" Duan Ming pointed to the food on the table and said, "This food is not to your liking? How about asking the Imperial City Pavilion to find another table?"
"Well, that's no need." Palace Master Chi Yuan was startled, and came again, using Mr. Duan's best trick: "I ate before I came here."
"That's a pity, it tastes really good." Duan Ming called out: "Waiter, come on, I can't eat half of the table, so pack it for me."
"Ahem..." The Qingshan man on the side lived up to his name, and his face was ashen with pain.
"Mr. Duan." Palace Master Chi Yuan took a deep breath. He must not fall into Duan Ming's rhythm, otherwise he might lead him astray again.
But this time, Duan Ming lives in Jing'an Prince's Mansion. Although King Jing'an doesn't say it, Palace Master Chi Yuan also knows that there are probably seven or eight masters around him who are watching at this moment.
Therefore, if you want to use force against Duan Ming, it will be difficult.
Once Duan Ming is fooled this time, it will be even harder to find Duan Ming again.
"To be honest..." Palace Master Chi Yuan said.
"Then don't hide it. Lao Chi, tell me the truth." Duan Ming interrupted directly.
"Laochi?" Hall Master Chi Yuan and Qingshan were both stunned, as were several members of the Immortality Cult standing around.
Duan Ming's eyes were fixed on Palace Master Chi Yuan: "Did you abduct the emperor's concubine? Did you get the blood sedan in the imperial garden? Did you frame Xing Qianqiu!"
