Chapter 615 Try Another Strategy

Su Ziji asked Ye Buhui to rest first, went to the study, and saw Jian Qu and Cen Rubai immediately saluted: "Congratulations, my lord, congratulations, my lord."

Su Ziji's eyes flashed, and he said, "Why do you like it?"

"Although no celebrities came this time, the reward from the empress is the best compliment. My lord has won the holy family. After all, my lord is the son of the crown prince."

The two looked suddenly enlightened.

Su Ziji smiled, with a look of approval, but Ye Daoist knew something inside, and kept silent for a long time, but he still didn't dare to tell the truth, he just changed the subject and reported the matter.

The next day after the tasting, Su Ziji decided to let Mengyuanlou officially open for business.

With the wild Taoists, there were a lot of seafood in Beijing, and only a small half of it was consumed on the first day of tasting, and the rest could be delayed for a few days at most, and the opening of the business in a few days was a waste of the sea fish that was brought in for the first time.

And the success of the tasting really made Mengyuanlou an instant success as soon as it opened.

"My lord, the income and expenditure of Mengyuanlou are good and have stabilized. However, recently, many people have been eyeing the business of the restaurant. Many people have heard that it is your business, but they dare not provoke you, but some local hooligans actually Dare to come to the restaurant to make trouble, this is really unusual, not like something done by local gangs."

"Oh? Tell me, what did they do when they arrived at Mengyuanlou?" Su Ziji raised his eyebrows slightly and asked.

Ye Daoist said that these people are not like local hooligans sent by local gangs, Su Ziji believed.

Not long after he was in Gangjing, the wild Taoist, a snake from other places, attached himself to him, and gradually beat the local local snakes so that they dare not provoke them.

Now that he is the acting lord, compared with the past, it is even more different. Although the local gangs are local tyrants, they are also very shrewd. There are still those gangs, which ones are not very smart, and they know who to mess with and who Can't mess with it?
Let them have a hard time with the Daihou Mansion, even if they are killed, they dare not.

Behind these hooligans, there may be someone else.

Who it is, Su Ziji has already vaguely guessed.

The wild Taoist said: "They don't do much, they just come here, order one or two dishes, they say it's not good, and they are still blocking the door on the street, yelling that the shop is bullying customers and paying money."

Su Ziji thought about it for a while, then sneered: "It's all just low-handed tactics. If I deal with it too much, I will say that I have no benevolence and benevolence. If I don't deal with it, I will lose points."

"Master, please leave this matter to me." At this moment, Jian Qu said.

Su Ziji glanced at Jian Qu: "Yes, I will leave this matter to Mr. Jian."

Seeing that Jian Qu and Cen Rubai each took orders to retreat, Su Ziji took a sip of tea before he really let out a breath of relief.

"Finally the plan went well."

"The first step is to dispel doubts. From then on, I will no longer be suspected of being a princeling. Otherwise, it will always be a thorn in the emperor's heart."

"With thorns, despite thousands of reasons and thousands of merits, once there is disaster for the scene, it will be difficult to bear."

Pulling out thorns is ten times more effective than making meritorious deeds and planting blessings.

"Only when the thorn is pulled out can we talk about the qualifications to compete for the big position, but I can't slack off, I have to press on step by step."

"Husbands do not fight, so no one in the world can compete with them, haha!"

Su Ziji pulled himself together, and asked the wild Taoist: "It was actually a trivial matter just now. Shan Wenhui's fire is not enough. Do you know who the most popular general is now?"

"The hottest general?" Ye Daoist's heart froze, he weighed it for a long time before saying.

"My lord, there are probably three most popular military generals, namely Fu Sangyun, Duan Yanxing, and Zhou Lu."

"Fu Sangyun, this man is the son of the Marquis of Yongchang. He is only 30 years old and has already been promoted to the commander of the infantry. He is a military officer of the second rank. I heard that he is very trusted by His Majesty."

"Duan Yanxing, the commander of the imperial guards, was a military officer of the third rank. He is also young and promising. He is 36 years old this year. He started as an ordinary imperial guards. He came from a poor background. Because he accidentally rescued him in a royal hunting seven years ago. , was valued by His Majesty, and after seven years of continuous promotion, he became a third-rank official."

"Zhou Lu used to be a local military officer. A few years ago, he was promoted several times because of his meritorious service against bandits. This year he was transferred back to the capital. He is currently working in the Ministry of Punishment."

Su Ziji listened to the names of these three people and the simple information: "You go and investigate, who among these three people is rebellious and unruly, and they have many crimes. If there is no one, you can find someone else."

Just now Jian Qu and Cen Rubai thought that the emperor's reward was a fluke, or good fortune, but the wild Taoist vaguely knew that it was all calculated. Now that they heard this, they secretly trembled in their hearts: "Yes, I will do it immediately."

Zhoufu
"Miss, the master invites you to go to the front study." The servant girl cautiously walked outside the piano room of the lady and said softly.

After coming back today, the young lady went into the piano room, but she didn't play the piano. She didn't know what she was doing, and the servant girl didn't dare to ask, so she could only wait outside cautiously. The lady communicated this.

After a while, Zhou Yao came out with a slightly tired face, but she changed into another dress.

"Let's go." Saying that, Zhou Yao went out.

Arriving outside the study door in the front yard, she passed by one of her father's aides. Zhou Yao also remained expressionless. After asking, she got her father's permission before pushing the door open and entering the study room where only her father was left alone. .

"Father, are you looking for me?" Seeing his father's serious face, Zhou Yao asked.

"Yao'er, you just came back from Daihou Wenhui, are you tired? Sit down and talk." Seeing that his daughter's complexion was not looking well, Zhou's father asked her to sit down and talk.

Zhou Yao sat down on the chair: "Because the round trip is not short, I am indeed a little tired."

"That's right, the place where Daihou held the literary meeting this time is the painting boat, not the Daihou's mansion. It is true that he has to travel back and forth. By the way, I heard that at the cultural meeting, there are imperial envoys from His Majesty and the Queen's Empress to announce the decree?"

Hearing her father's question, Zhou Yao calmly replied: "Yes, the empress rewarded the marquis with a wooden box. What's in it, the guests don't know. And your majesty rewarded the Marquis and his wife with a jade ruyi handle, each with a Many children and many blessings Yuzhu."

"Yu Ruyi?" Father Zhou heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that the emperor actually rewarded Daihou Yu Ruyi. This showed that the emperor did have good intentions for the naturalized emperor's grandson, at least intending to support him.

And his daughter made friends with Ye Buhui, it seems that this is the right way.

He also asked about the details of the literary meeting. Seeing that his daughter was even more exhausted, Zhou's father felt sorry for her, so he didn't want to ask more questions, so he asked her to go back to rest.

Zhou Yao bid farewell to her father, she was silent all the way, one after another in the hallway of the mansion, under the lights, her complexion was snow-white, her head was slightly lowered, the strange thing is, with just this action, the shyness of bowing her head suddenly appeared. In the minds of the people around, I can't suppress it anymore.

Seeing the young lady's mother-in-law a lot, she couldn't help but gasp for a moment, thinking that this young lady was only outstanding at first, but now she is getting more and more beautiful, and she couldn't help looking at her all the time.

It's just that no one knows, in her silent mind, a mysterious voice has been talking to her since she didn't leave the study.

Even if Zhou Yao didn't respond, the mysterious voice didn't mind.

"Your father breathed a sigh of relief just now, you should have noticed it too, right?"

"Speaking of which, I also think, Su Ziji, you may have some confidence in Jackie Chan now, are you really not tempted?"

Zhou Yao didn't hear it, but just walked forward quietly, a little bit of light entered her body while breathing, the mysterious voice stopped, and she just watched Zhou Yao's change faintly, secretly envious.

"Using the piano to enter the Tao, the human race is really favored by heaven."
