Chapter 563: Take a stand
Chapter 563 Take a stand
Looking at that figure, Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but frowned. Before he could react, he saw that Lin Jinxiao's entire face had darkened, which made Chu Nanzhi feel that something was wrong.
It's about to thunder.
Looking at the figure who was coming straight forward, Chu Nanzhi secretly groaned in her heart, it is really not a big deal for Prince Xie to come to his restaurant for nothing.
While she was still thinking about it, she saw Chu Ting, who led them in, first reported: "Sister Zhi, this honored guest said today that he wants to rent out the remaining ten yards in the garden. Butler Zhao asked me to bring them in."
After finishing speaking, he purposely approached Chu Nanzhi and added in a low voice: "He paid a big price, one hundred taels of silver for each yard."
"Prince Xie is really rich and powerful. Could it be that the post house in the east of the city is not as comfortable as living in this restaurant?"
Lin Jinxiao glanced coldly at the oncoming Xie Jingchen and his party, and asked vigilantly.
"Hey, King Pingning wants to ask such a question, I really think that the post house is not as comfortable and comfortable as living in this Yuanlai restaurant."
Xie Jingchen smiled at Lin Jinxiao's meaningful evil charm: "After all, the one staying in the posthouse is Yue Guifei of the current dynasty. How can I have the heart to disturb the noble concubine."
The last few words were almost word for word, and the speaking speed was extremely slow.
Lin Jinxiao and Chu Nanzhi felt terrified when they heard this:
Could it be that this guy heard something in the posthouse?
Lin Jinxiao immediately realized why Han Yicheng had to report to him the intimate behavior of Concubine Yue and Uncle Sanhuang in the posthouse two days ago.
Bai Yuren settled in the Chengdong post house. If he found something tricky and didn't report it, he would be the first to blame him.
But in order not to offend Concubine Yue Gui and the forces of the Nandu King, the old Yicheng made his words ambiguous. He not only gave himself a warning, but also gave Concubine Yue a step, so that both sides had room for relaxation.
Lin Jinxiao felt inexplicably angry in his heart. If Concubine Yue really had an affair with the Three Emperors Uncle in the posthouse, if it got to the ears of Baiyu people, it would be a bit embarrassing.
But after thinking about it, this matter will eventually be exposed to the eyes of the world. Even if I conceal it intentionally, Concubine Yue Gui and the King of Nandu may not appreciate it. Maybe the jealousy towards me will only deepen, so it is better to use Prince Xie to replace myself Find out about this matter so that His Majesty can see clearly what kind of guy this pillow man is.
Looking at the group of people around Xie Jingchen, Lin Jinxiao began to figure out how to make good use of Xie Jingchen.
If they were allowed to live in the lady's restaurant in such a grandiose way, it would definitely arouse Concubine Yue's suspicion.
And what he did today was intended to please Chu Nanzhi, how could he succeed so easily.
Even if he couldn't do what he wanted, he would have to cheat him a lot more.
Thinking of this, he deliberately mocked: "Prince Xie's concern is very reasonable. After all, my country is in full swing, and Concubine Yue is always by His Majesty's side. It is inevitable that she will be affected by His Majesty's dragon prestige. This awe-inspiring aura is indeed not unusual. If people can get close, it is really inappropriate to place Prince Xie and you here."
Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, Chu Nanzhi couldn't help coughing several times, and was choked by his words like a hot pepper, and tears flowed down his face.
I really don't know how this little boy can praise Concubine Yue so much, and I'm not afraid that those hard-to-see things in the future will be exposed and make people laugh.
Lin Jinxiao was almost confused by her sudden coughing, glanced at her dissatisfied, and pretended to be calm: "If Prince Xie is intimidated by my royal dignity, this king can choose another place for Prince Xie, north of the city. The post house is also good.”
"Don't bother King Pingning."
Xie Jingchen originally wanted to save some face for the Dahe Empire, reduce enmity, and take care of the business of the "Little Zhizhi" restaurant by the way, but he didn't expect this guy to be so ungrateful and use different methods to humiliate people.
His eyes were slightly calm and he said with a forced smile: "I am also sympathetic to the group of envoys around me who have traveled all the way with my boat and horse. I heard that Yuanlai Restaurant is a good place to recuperate, so I specially brought them here to rest for a few days. "
After a pause, he continued with a deep smile: "If you talk about Concubine Yue's awe-inspiring uprightness, it's really intimidating, and the posthouses in Shangguo are full of romantic atmosphere, like me. It's really a waste of money for an ignorant person to live in such a luxurious mansion."
"Prince Xie is really interesting, but he just wants to rent out a few courtyards of my Yuanlai restaurant, why belittle yourself so much."
Chu Nanzhi could tell from his words that this apprentice had sensed something, but he never told the truth in public, but made insinuations. Such eccentric tone was nothing more than trying to direct the disaster to Lin Jinxiao.
Rolling his eyes at him angrily, Chu Nanzhi said coldly: "If Prince Xie likes the other courtyard in this garden, I will allocate a few rooms for you. You are the prince of the Baiyu clan. For the sake of good relations between the two countries, as a The people of the Great Harvest Empire, I will definitely make people entertain the envoys wholeheartedly."
Hearing these words, Xie Jingchen's heart was filled with sadness.
After all, she made her position known, and her eyes gradually revealed the meaning of being wary of herself.
At this moment, a woman in a red gown stood up angrily behind him, pursed her lips and glared at Chu Nanzhi with resentment, and said loudly, "Princess Pingning, why bother to ridicule people? It is a small country on the border, but it is not a person who is greedy for small profits, and it will not be reduced to the point of receiving charity for no reason. When you come to Shangguo, since it is for fun, you will naturally have to pay money."
After pondering for a moment, the woman said with contempt in her eyes: "And I heard that the shopkeepers behind this restaurant are the Zhao family. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for Princess Pingning to make decisions for others like this?"
Chu Nanzhi took a serious look at this woman, it was the pretty girl in white on horseback that she saw yesterday in the Li family compound.
Wrapped in red today, she looks even more adorable.
It's just that this woman didn't seem very friendly since the moment she saw her.
Could it be that she has any enmity with herself?
Chu Nanzhi groaned secretly in her heart: Could it be that this old lady has her own constitution to attract black people? How could she step on her feet when she met a good-looking, gentle and dignified woman?
Could it be that my old lady is not worthy of being with this kind of woman?
From Chang Yanning to Ji Wanying, to the person in front of me, everything is like this.
Just as he was about to defend himself, Lin Jinxiao pulled her to his side, and said with a gentle smile, "Very well, there are still many people with integrity in your country, if everyone in your country can be as safe as a girl In my duty, the Dahe Empire will not station troops on the border, causing the two countries to be at war with each other."
Gripping Chu Nanzhi's palm tightly, Lin Jinxiao also took a deep look at the woman in red, and continued:
"Since Prince Xie intends to lighten the burden on the posthouse, the king appreciates the kindness. However, Prince Xie knows that the shopkeeper behind the restaurant is run by the Zhao family, and the restaurant has just opened, so Prince Xie has brought so many envoys here rashly. , it will inevitably cause trouble to people, but don't affect other people's business."
The woman in red was even more annoyed seeing him being so arrogant.
He accused Sang and scolded Huai just because he wanted to say that Baiyu people love to do things like stealing chickens and dogs. Regardless of Xie Jingchen's white eyes, he said angrily: "Prince Pingning's words are unreasonable. I, Baiyu people, have made a mistake in taking back our own territory."
"Win the king and lose the bandits. Our Dahe Empire has been established for hundreds of years, and the states in the south of the Yangtze River have also been governed for hundreds of years. How can we talk about the territory of Baiyu people?"
Lin Jinxiao interrupted her bluntly, and said righteously: "Dynasty change has its own way. If you want to talk about the old affairs of the previous dynasty, the Baiyu ten clans are just the feudal officials who guarded the southern border, and they were highly valued by the former emperor. If you don’t repay the emperor’s kindness, you will tear up the land and proclaim yourself, causing chaos in the world. If my Qinghe clan hadn’t sent troops to the east to appease the people in the world, I’m afraid this great river and mountain would have been poisoned by your cholera and the people would be in dire straits.”
The convincing words made Xie Jingchen and Bai Yuren's complexions suddenly change, and they lost their confidence, and they didn't know how to refute.
