Chapter 57 Rumors

Xinhe Restaurant is the largest restaurant in Kyoto. Of course, the guests who come to Xinhe Restaurant for dinner are rich guests, and of course they are willing to spend money. The money shopkeeper of Xinhe Restaurant is also good at doing business. On the last day of the end of the month, he always held a big banquet and invited famous people in Kyoto to come to Xinhe Restaurant for a free meal. Both white and gangsters called him brothers. In this way, his business is getting more and more prosperous and more famous.

But just three days ago, the money shopkeeper met his biggest nemesis in his life.

It was a young man wearing half a mask. He was dressed in black and blended with the night. He always sneaked into his bedroom and talked with him in the dead of night.

In fact, how can that be regarded as talking about business? It is obviously robbery, and it is still a non-handed robbery.

The young man deliberately took a machete with him and tricked him into set up a note, which said: the treasure of the musk moon, the precious knife, used by the master, is set in the palace. With this mortgage, the daughter will be borrowed. After March, the knife and silver will be exchanged. If you violate this contract, you will be fined thousands of gold.

At that time, the money shopkeeper did not understand the meaning written on the note. He was just scared by the knife in the young man's hand and immediately signed the note, but he did not expect that it was his lifelong hard-earned money.

The young man asked him to allocate at least 500 taels of silver every month to be sent to a famous person designated by various sects in the world, and asked him to deliver it politely. He could not neglect those so-called Jianghu friends privately. Otherwise, the young man would take the words he set up and pull him to the government. Fight a lawsuit.

The shopkeeper of Qian is also a person who is familiar with the underworld, but he is not afraid of seeing any official, but the young man said that the precious treasure knife is used by the master of Zhonghua Che in the palace, and the master died in his Xinhe restaurant. If he is not afraid, he can hang the body of the master in him. Outside the restaurant, the whole world knew that the money shopkeeper of Xinhe Restaurant actually poisoned a master beside the musk moon soldier.

First of all, not to say whether what the young man said is true or not, just rely on the name of Hua Che is enough to scare the money shopkeeper. After the money shopkeeper was dragged to see a bloody body by the young man, he immediately cried and begged his grandfather, saying that not to mention a thousand taels of silver, that is, a thousand taels of gold, he also gave it, only Ask the young man to move the body quickly and don't let his painstakingly run Xinhe restaurant get slut, otherwise he will never do this business again.

So, he negotiated the business with the young man, and it was a completely selfless loss-making business, and the word "city" was engraved on every box of silver he sent.

The word "city" is undoubtedly the identity of the young man, so even if this box of gold and silver is given away, it has nothing to do with him. It is given by the young man.

The money shopkeeper cried with blood every time in the dead of night and asked the plague god not to pest him anymore, but his wish was not so easy to achieve. Even if he prepared to catch the thief every time, he did not catch the young man. The young man was like a ghost and always suddenly came out. Now in his room, as soon as he appears, he must be given a note, the number of silver, a person's name, and the delivery time.

In this way, the money shopkeeper became a cash cow. Fortunately, he made money so fast that he would not go bankrupt. Maybe it was the young man who calculated that he could take out so much money to make such a sum of money.

The young man finally handed him the largest amount written on a note, 2,000 silver taels. The delivery time can be extended to next month, and the friend given to him turned out to be - Prince Lianxi. This time, there is no need to attach the word "city" instead. The gift is ownerless silver.

Lian Xi, the son of the Dragon Pavilion!

When the money shopkeeper saw the name, he was almost scared to death. Who doesn't know that half a month ago, there was a big fire in the Shenlong Pavilion. The Shenlong Pavilion, which was the richest house in Kyoto, is now burning with nothing left, and the prince Lianxi and the four goddess dragons that shocked Kyoto in the Shenlong Pavilion have disappeared without a trace.

Some people said that they must have escaped from the fire, hid their names and prepared to rise again.

Some people also said that on that day, the Shenlong Pavilion was particularly deserted. The people in the pavilion seemed to be sleeping on vacation, and the fire happened unexpectedly at night. I'm afraid that the people in the pavilion had fallen asleep to the Yanluo Hall.

But anyway, the Dragon Pavilion has become a thing of the past in people's hearts, and even represents an ominous glory.

The so-called ominous, that is to say, people are too rich. No matter the hell on earth, whether they are human or ghosts will come to them.

People can't be too rich, otherwise they will die faster than anyone else.

So, the money shopkeeper shivered when he thought of it. Didn't the young man ask him to send the silver to hell?

What's amazing is that there is an address on the word - Tengwang Temple.

Isn't Tengwang Temple a ruined temple in the wild? I heard that there are often ghosts in that temple, so no one dares to go there. Is Prince Lianxi in the Tengwang Temple? Has Prince Lianxi really become a lonely ghost?

The money shopkeeper wanted to howle while wailing. He was a dead thief who was killed by thousands of knives. He not only wanted him to send gold and silver, but also wanted him to die!

What kind of world is this? Where did the robbers and steals die?

But when you wai and howling, you still have to do business. Otherwise, such a large amount of money will be sent out like running water every month. If there is no money in your waist bag, this family really can't survive.

On this day, the business of Xinhe Restaurant was still booming, and the guests were full, drinking and punching, and laughing endlessly.

The guests on the seat are also gorgeously dressed, either businessmen or dignitaries and nobles, all of whom are famous figures in Kyoto.

Moreover, these guests are also regular customers. The shopkeeper of Qian almost knows them, but there is a table with two people who are silent and silent.

A man and a woman wear a hat. Although they are ordinary, they give people the feeling that they are different and have excellent temperament.

The two seem to be listening to others.

"Well, have you all heard about it? The Dragon Pavilion, the largest rich house in Kyoto, has now turned into ashes. What a pity that so many gold and silver treasures are gone.

"I heard about it a long time ago, isn't it just half a month ago? Overnight, the mansion turned into a fire pit. No matter how rich and brilliant it was before, it is now enjoyed by the Lord of Hell.

"The most regrettable thing is that those four beauties are still in their youth. I heard that they have not married yet, so they have all been concubines for the Lord of Hell. Humph, the Lord of Hell is really blessed."

"Maybe, but I think those four beauties are afraid of being immortals."

"They are all talking nonsense. Although the people in the Dragon Pavilion have disappeared, they are not necessarily buried in the sea of fire. Maybe they have rebuilt a mansion in another place, and maybe they have found Ruyi Langjun and married them."

"Well, anyway, such a big thing happened in Kyoto that even the government can't find out whether this case was an accident or someone was murdered?"

“......”

There are different opinions, some sigh, some things don't care about themselves, just take it as a joke after dinner, and some listen to the story completely, and continue to eat and drink after listening to it.

There was only one man, a man in white wearing a bucket hat. His hand holding the wine glass suddenly made a sound like bones breaking. The wine glass turned into powder in his hand. His people immediately stood up and ran out of Xinhe's restaurant.

When the shopkeeper saw the white clothes drifting away faster than the spring breeze, he stamped his feet anxiously and chased him: "Hey, guest officer, you haven't paid yet!" Guest Officer--"

"Wait--" A charming woman's voice interrupted him, "Isn't I still here?"

"Hey, girl, are you going to pay?" The shopkeeper went to the woman in red who was still sitting in the seat with a salivary face. "It turns out that you are also the customer of the girl. The little one is really rude and rude."

"It's not rude." The woman in a hat laughed softly and said, "I heard that the money shopkeeper has also had bad luck recently. The hard-earned money has been given away, and now even supporting the family is a problem."

"Yes, yes, girl, you are really kind-hearted. Thank you for your concern."

"I don't lack silver. With this opportunity, I am willing to do something good." The woman in red took out a golden ingot from the cuffs, put it on the table, gently brushed the red veil hanging down from the bucket hat, and looked at the money shopkeeper with a smile, "Well, even if this is my little intention, I think it should be more than enough to pay for this table for wine and vegetables?"

"Enough...more..." The money shopkeeper has always greeted guests. At this moment, he has become stagnated and can't say a word for a long time. It's not because of this golden treasure, but the appearance of the woman in red. He has never seen such a peerless face in his life. If he can look at it again, he will die. They are all willing.

But the woman in red didn't show him for a long time. Soon, she hung down the hat and got up and ran away, just like a wave, crossing the crane.

She caught up with the man in white in front of her in an alley, but the man in white suddenly turned around, grabbed her throat, and asked angrily, "Did you do this?"

"What's the matter? You first... let me go first, and I... I'll say." The woman's hat fell, shining like a heavenly man. This is the face that belongs to the spirit of the lord of the upper palace. Twenty years ago, the beauty of the spirit of the lord of the upper palace was famous all over the world.

But this woman is not Lingyun, the master of the palace. She just borrowed the face of Lingyun, the master of the palace to hide her true identity. Like him, she also pretended to be a famous magic doctor who lived in seclusion in Qiuyuan Valley.

They are Yushu Ziyi and Lingyu.

"Did you send someone to do the burning of the Dragon Pavilion?" Yu Shuziyi couldn't help scolding, "The people in the Dragon Pavilion have no grudge against you, and even have nothing to do with you. Why did you do this?"

"Who said it didn't matter?" Ling Yuxiang laughed again, "Cousin Ziyi, you also know that Hua Che cherishes talent. He must want to take Prince Lianxi for his own use. I have heard you say that Prince Lianxi is an extremely smart woman, and most men in the world are probably not as good as her. Since she is such a powerful woman and can't be used for me, why can't I? Get rid of her first, do you have to wait until Hua Che uses her to deal with us?

"The prince Lianxi will never succumb to Hua Che's knees. She is a very smart woman, but she is also a proud and conceited woman. She will not be used by anyone." Yushu Ziyi sneered and said, "What's more, even if you want to get rid of Gongzi Lianxi, you don't have to kill all the people in the Shenlong Pavilion. Shenlong Pavilion is the foundation of Gongzi Lianxi for eight years. From just a small inn to now it has developed into a famous Shenlong Pavilion all over the country. How much effort has she has spent? If you destroyed her Dragon Pavilion, you destroyed her pride. With life."

"I just want to destroy her pride and her life. Only in this way can I hit her and make her depressed." Lingyu smiled proudly, "I will also let her know that this matter was actually done by Hua Che, so she can use her intelligence to deal with Hua Che. If she is really an extremely smart woman, wouldn't we save a lot of effort, cousin Ziyi, what do you think?"
