Chapter 50 Undercurrent (2)
"Bang!" A celadon teacup was smashed to pieces, and the porcelain pieces splashed, shaving the silk on the screen.
Li Daofu had a blue face and shouted outside the door: "Ha family hasn't come yet? Go and urge it again, and he won't use it in less than a quarter of an hour!"
Li Daofu slapped the table hard and gritted his teeth and said, "This damn idiot, don't ruin the major affairs in the court!"
Now the prime minister is pushing the prince in a hurry, and he is most afraid of making trouble. If this matter is exposed to the court by Qiu Jianqiong, and Li Heng is caught and bitten back, it is very likely that Li Heng will regain the situation and all his previous efforts will be wasted!
Li Daofu was extremely depressed. The official struggles were intrigue and deceitful. It was said that if one hit, he would kill someone. Don’t look at Zhang Qiu Jianqiong and asked him to the banquet with a smile. That was because this matter was not enough to condemn himself, so he would not take action. But if this person really caught him with any direct handle, he would never show mercy. Now he is most afraid that the Hai family would hide anything from him.
"Sir! Old Master Hailan is here." Manager Wang from the mansion came to report tremblingly.
"Let him wait outside the mansion!"
Hailan had just arrived from Huanhua Creek. He was lucky today. He was hooked with four big carp. Just as he was in high spirits, he suddenly reported that the governor had something urgent to find him. Hailan immediately guessed that something happened to Wangjiang Restaurant. He gave the son full responsibility for this matter, but he did not ask about it, so he did not know about the failure of the underworld.
Before he could go back to the mansion to change his clothes, he rushed to the governor's mansion and ordered his servants to quickly inquire about the situation of the Wangjiang Restaurant. As soon as he arrived at the gate of the governor's mansion, news about the Wangjiang Restaurant had already arrived. There was an army halfway through, and all the men from the underworld sent were wiped out. Hailan's heart suddenly became cold, and his mind was buzzing. Even the army was dispatched. This matter was really a big deal.
"How did the damn little beast do things?" Hailan's eyes were so angry that he was about to enter the mansion, but the guard was stopped: "The master is busy with official duties now, please wait for a while."
"Wait for a moment outside the gate?"
Hailan immediately understood that this was Li Daofu using an excuse to deal with him. Although he had the backstage of King Tan, he was a businessman after all. The businessman had a very low social status in the Tang Dynasty. If his daughter had not been good at ease, if he had not given money every year, King Tan would not take him seriously. That's it. He was still only worthy of dealing with the butler of the Tan Prince's Mansion. King Tan himself only saw him once a year when he gave money, and only helped him when big things happened. He didn't care about small matters like fighting for restaurants. Therefore, the real backstage of his Hai family was Li Daofu, the governor of Yizhou. King Tan was just a tiger skin that the Hai family threatened the world.
Hailan knew that he had caused trouble this time, and he was afraid to move. The sweat beads slowly rolled down his forehead. After standing for about an hour, the manager slowly walked out. He glanced at him and smiled and said, "Mr. Governor is too busy. I'm afraid Wukong will see Master Haidong. Master Haidong please go back first and come back another day!"
"What! I don't even see you?" Hailan's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that things were even more serious than he thought. He urgently pulled the manager aside and took out about fifty taels of silver and stuffed them quietly. "Manager Wang must tell me what the hell is thinking?"
Manager Wang and Li Daofu have been with him for many years, and he has been extremely cunning. He will not let go of any opportunity to make money. Li Dao replied to him and sent him a message, but he only said half of it, and his other half was waiting for the price. He took the heavy silver and was secretly happy. Seeing that there was no one around, he whispered: "The backstage of the Wangjiang Restaurant is the Jiedushi Zhang Qiu Jianqiong. This time the master was at a disadvantage in front of him and was extremely angry. Master Hai Dongzhu must be careful in the future!"
"Then, how will the governor treat my Hai family this time?"
Manager Wang smiled and said, "Mr. Weng celebrates his birthday on the Mid-Autumn Festival night. The master wants to congratulate you. The main thing is to apologize for you. Of course, the master cannot pay this birthday gift. You can do it yourself."
After all, it was just the word "money". Hailan suddenly realized and cursed shamelessly in his heart.
"Also, the master asked you to write a written statement and write down the matter in detail, and no detail is allowed to be missed."
"Please tell the master, I understand." He patted Manager Wang's hand and said goodbye.
Hailan rushed home with anger and immediately called his son Hai Zhongheng. Without saying a word, he blew his bow and gave him a few big mouths, which made his eyes look like stars, and half of his face immediately became black and purple and swollen.
"How did I tell you? You should not overdo it, but what did you do? So many people died, and even the army was alarmed, which almost caused a shock to the Chengdu officialdom. You said! If you don't tell me a reason today, I will break your leg!"
Hai Zhongheng's face was so hot that he didn't dare to move, but he just lowered his head and said nothing. He was also a smart person, and he had some skills, but he didn't know the importance of it. If it were someone else's restaurant, he would let the underworld take up seats every day and use a soft knife to make the restaurant unable to operate it. But for a woman, he had an inexplicable hatred towards Li Qing, which made the situation big, which led to a big deal.
"I asked Hai San to do this. I also told him to be careful. Now the consequences are like this, and I don't know the details in the middle."
Hailan stared at him with a gloomy face for a long time before shouting: "Call Hai San!"
Hai San was uneasy about the morning matter. He suddenly heard that the master called him. Needless to say, it must be the master who was ruthless. He was extremely frightened. He saw the second master bleeding from his lips, but his eyes were slanted to the sky without looking at him. He immediately understood that it must be the second master who had to put all the blame on him. Although it was obviously his idea, he was the master. Hai San was a master. After a change of thought, Hai San could only push him to Boss Tang in Emei Hall again.
Hai San knelt down and said in a trembling voice: "Hai San failed to do things well and was allowed to Tang Peng's arrangement, which led to his failure today. Please punish me!"
"Okay! OK!" Hailan laughed furiously and said two words "Okay". "You two, one of you, and one of them puts the responsibility on the butler, and the butler also puts the responsibility on outsiders. You are not responsible, it's great! It's great!"
He suddenly shouted loudly: "Come here!"
Several strong men with tiger backs and bears appeared immediately at the door.
"Pull Haisan down and break his legs!"
"Master! Give up your life!" Hai San was so scared that he was scattered and kowtowed to beg for mercy, but was taken away by several big men like chickens.
"And you!" Hailan pointed at Hai Zhongheng, who fell to his knees on the ground in fear. Wu Zi's face turned pale in an instant, "I know my mistake! I know my mistake!"
"I won't beat you, but I will punish you according to family rules. From now on, the business of the restaurant will be left to your second uncle. You study behind closed doors and you will not leave the house within half a year. You will be allowed to go to Beijing next year to take the imperial examination."
Hai Zhongheng responded softly and got up weakly. He had nothing left now. When he walked out the door, the autumn wind suddenly rose and rolled up a few half-blue and half-yellow fallen leaves. Hai San screamed faintly outside the door.
‘Li Qing!’ He murmured twice, and suddenly a burst of unforgettable hatred appeared in his heart.
Hailan looked at his son's back and closed his eyes slightly. Today he deeply realized that if there were no children in the court, he would not even be able to enter the door of others! His son showed his unwise side this time. He only had this son under his knees. He could take care of him for a while but could not take care of him for a lifetime. It seems that he had to help him pave the road while he was still walking. He suddenly remembered his second brother, who had been stupid for thirty years. Could he be really a pig? He never believed it. This time he could try out his nature and throw a bone for him to see his reaction.
Thinking of this, a hint of undetectable sneer appeared on the corner of Hailan's mouth.
Just as the Hai family was in chaos and learning from the pain, Deyue Inn was full of joy and laughter, and a few big red candles shone in the lobby like daytime. Li Qing held a banquet for all the old friends who came from Langzhong to dinner. Today was a surprise and finally ended with a festive end. Why were everyone unhappy? Especially today's good start, and by the evening's turnover had exceeded 100 volts. Manager Xi also said that this was the worst. By the New Year, there would be more than 500 volts a day.
Pei Rou was flushed when she drank. There was nothing wrong with the hotel. Even if she was saved, she felt really happy. She simply opened her arms and fought with the coachman Lao Yu. Lao Yu was obviously absent-minded and her eyes kept sweeping over the trembling meat bullets on her chest. After more than ten punches, she was defeated. She was pressed down by several friends and forced to drink three big bowls of wine, which almost choked to death.
