I really don't want to take shortcuts anymore

Huo Yu looked away, and his eyes instantly became cold and gloomy: "Have you found out who exactly are there?"

"The person who instigated the trouble was Du Bo Jianggong." He Jian reported: "He is Xu Kai's wife's uncle. I don't know whether he did it on his own or with Xu Kai's instruction."

"Haha." Huo Yu smiled instead of being angry: "No wonder you have been relying on the Jiang family and haven't made any achievements for so many years. It turns out you are stupid!"

He Jian had no interface, but he also thought so in his heart. Inciting sergeants to mutiny in important areas of the capital, once it becomes a reality that can reach heaven, Yu Langjun's official reputation may be damaged. However, since the founding of the dynasty for more than a hundred years, there has always been only one way to deal with rebellions and mutinies for various reasons. Way.

Death clan execution is only standard, and there are also those from the three Yi clans and even the nine clans.

So he couldn't understand how someone could be so stupid that they would risk their own wealth and life to damage Lang Jun's official reputation. It was simply stupid.

"By the way, Sir." He Jian suddenly remembered another piece of news: "Last time you asked me to monitor Mrs. Xu's whereabouts, but I discovered something."

"That Mrs. Xu used to be a regular customer of Xiangfu Building in the city, but in the past month, the shop where she chose jewelry has been changed to Lanpeifang."

This sounds like an extremely trivial thing, but it caught Huo Yu's attention.

"Lan Peifang?" He rubbed his eyebrows: "I remember you found out last time that this store is actually not related to Jizhou. Mrs. Xu is Jiang Gong's sister, so this mutiny, I'm afraid that the King of Jizhou may have had some tampering with it."

"It's just that I don't understand." He Jian said: "The king of Jizhou returned to the capital under the imperial edict. As long as nothing goes wrong, he will be soaring to the sky in a few days, so why do he need to do these futile things?"

Huo Yu didn't answer, but glanced at him lightly. The coldness in his eyes was almost suffocating.

He Jian's heart trembled, and he immediately knelt down: "I know I was wrong, and I don't dare to discuss important matters arbitrarily anymore."

"Go down and receive your punishment." Huo Yu ignored him. After the people left, he put his hands behind his back and walked to the window. Through the window lattice, he looked at the sky that was divided into pieces.

"The human heart is insufficient." He said to himself: "Always trying to seek higher and lower. However, good fortune and misfortune depend on each other, and who can be alone?"

King Yu Ke of Jizhou threw a document in front of Yu Shen and sneered: "Is this your perfect plan?"

Yu Shen didn't need to look to know why his father was angry: "Father, it's Huo Yu who has no good intentions and ruined our good deeds. However, I already have other clever plans, so I'm going to..."

"Okay." Yu Ke said angrily: "Don't just focus on this small profit, clean up everything you have done recently, and take a longer-term view."

Yu Shen actually knew what he was referring to: "Father, don't worry, the Jiang family will never dare to mess around or ruin father's plans."

"As long as you understand." Yu Ke let out a long sigh: "At this critical moment, it is better to be still than to move. When the big thing is decided, what do you want that you can't get?"

Yu Shen lowered his head and responded: "My father taught me that I was impatient before and wanted to test His Majesty's mind. If my father thought it was inappropriate, then forget it."

Although he said this, he had other concerns in his heart. His father had many heirs. Although he was the legitimate son, he had an eldest brother and a favored younger brother. Even if the imperial grandfather passed the throne to his father, it might not fall on him.

No matter when, you must have a way to make money in your hands. Since his father doesn't like Bu Xian Xianjiu, he will find a way on his own.

After leaving the main hall, he called his attendants and gave a few instructions in a low voice. The other party responded solemnly and immediately left the door.

Today is Wen Pu's happy day. Luo Qianhuai specially booked the Accord at Mingyue Tower and invited the whole family to celebrate together.

Everyone who lives in Changling City knows Mingyue Tower.

It was a top local club integrating catering and entertainment. A table of ordinary food and wine could equal a person's income for a year, maybe more.

"Yin Yin, I will ask your brother to buy some wine and meat. Let's eat at home." Mrs. Lin hesitated.

Wenzhou had never entered Mingyue Tower. When I usually want to drink, I just go to the liquor store in Dongshi and buy two pounds. If I can add half of the braised pig head from Yuehelou, it will be a fairy life.

It's a pity that in the past few years when my son was wronged, the family's income was very thin, and there were not many days where I could enjoy it like this.

Being in Huairenfang, the neighbors would inevitably mention the food and drinks at Mingyue House when making jokes.

There are only a few people who can actually go in and order food and drink. However, the son of the Liu family next door used a relationship to work as an apprentice in the back kitchen of Mingyue Building. Although he didn't have much income, he could always bring back a few leftovers every once in a while. , even if it is reheated in the pot, the aroma is so strong that people nearby can smell it.

In addition, Liu Xiaolang has a bad temper. Whenever others ask him a few questions, he will describe the various wines and dishes he usually sees, as well as the graceful and ecstatic songs and dances, which will make people jealous every time. Heartbeat, drooling.

Although Wenzhou is not like this, he is born as a human being and his yearning for a better life is natural. It's just that he thought that Yin Yin was still young and shouldn't spend money so lavishly, but he couldn't bear to refuse outright, fearing that his granddaughter's good intentions would be ruined.

"Yin Yin, no matter how good the food and wine in Mingyue Tower are, they are not suitable for ordinary people like us." Wen Pu saw the hesitation in his father's eyes and spoke first to persuade:

"I know you are not short of money now. But you are about to talk about marriage. My uncle is useless. There is not much I can do to help you for the time being. It is always right to save more money for yourself, no. If you have to go to a place like Mingyue Tower, you will waste your money."

Luo Qianhuai couldn't explain it clearly, but he had a Koi card and was a free lifetime member of Mingyue Tower. He and the shopkeeper Zhu Niang were even considered good colleagues of Dayu who couldn't do business without making a deal.

But every word of what her family said was considered for her, leaving her unable to give a reason for rejection.

At this moment, her eyes fell on Wen Jia, and her eyes lit up instantly.

Ever since Wen Jia heard that Luo Qianhuai said he wanted to have dinner at Mingyue Tower, he felt extremely happy. He had never had the chance to enter a place like this, so he had long wanted to experience it, so as to increase his bragging rights with his friends.

Hearing that his eldest father and Aweng's mother were all opposed, he was very worried that he would not be able to make the trip. At this moment, he looked at Luo Qianhuai's suggestive eyes and instantly came up with an idea:

"Today is a good day for Aweng. Yinyin booked a banquet at Mingyue Tower. It was originally a good intention. According to me, it should not be let down." As soon as he said this, he saw Wen Pu and Zhou Judu Frowning, he was about to retort and continued quickly:

"It's just that you may not know it. There are rules in Mingyue Tower. You need to pay an expensive deposit to book the Accord - if the person who booked the seat does not show up, the deposit will not be refunded."

This is the first time everyone has heard of this rule. Wen Zhou and others looked at Luo Qianhuai and saw her sighing and nodding, with a helpless expression.

Wenjia struck while the iron was hot: "Now that things are like this, why not just go over and have a meal happily to satisfy Yin Yin's filial piety."
