"Brother Wang, why don't you ask your brothers if you don't have any money? Let's reciprocate. You treat us to a 1,000-tael dinner, so how about we treat you to a 100-tael courtesan show?"

At this moment, Yang Zhi suddenly spoke.

"Brother Wang, you usually take care of us. Today, you have to give us this face no matter what. The tickets for the poetry meeting will be provided for us." Zhang Sheng said.

Lin Feng knew very well what the four friends were thinking. Forget it, since he was free anyway, he might as well go to the boating lake and relax!

Lin Feng looked at his four friends with a smile on his face, "Then let the four brothers pay for it."

Song Yuan smiled and said, "Brother Wang, you are too polite. It's just a hundred taels of silver. It's nothing."

"It is an honor for the brothers that Brother Wang can go," said Li Heng.

The ticket issue was resolved, and Ye Liuyun was very happy. "That's great. I'm really looking forward to the Oiran performance on the boating lake."

He Yu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will never let you brothers down."

At this moment, Lin Feng suddenly thought of something and immediately said, "That's not right! Today is the tenth day of March. Isn't the poetry and prose meeting held on the first and fifteenth day of the month?"

He Yu smiled and said, "Brother Wang, you may not know that Hegu City was under martial law some time ago, but things have finally returned to normal in the past two days, so the poetry and prose meeting on the first day of March has been moved to today."

Lin Feng nodded, "I see!"

At this moment, Gao Xiaowu led a group of maids to the crowd and said, "Mr. He, your wine and food are ready."

He Yu pointed at Ye Liuyun and Lin Feng, "Let's eat together, the three of us, leave the food and wine here!"

"Okay, Mr. He!"

Just as the maids were serving the dishes, Lin Feng called Bai Shan aside and said, "Go to the Mirror Inspection Office right away and ask Liu Zhangjian to bring some people over personally."

"Yes!"

Bai Shan bowed and quickly left Tianhe Restaurant...

Soon, a pot of wine and eight dishes were placed in front of everyone. "Brothers, don't be polite. Have a taste!"

He Yu started eating first, and Lin Feng and his four friends didn't hesitate to pick up their chopsticks and started eating. More people meant more fun, and the seven of them ate while drinking, and the feast worth three thousand taels of silver officially began...

Tianhe Restaurant is truly worthy of being the number one restaurant in South Vietnam. Although the chefs here are not as good as the imperial chefs in the palace, they are not much different.

Lin Feng had been in the palace these past two days, enjoying the treatment of an emperor, and his taste had been spoiled by the imperial chefs. The same was true for his four friends, who would run to Tianren Hall every time it was time for dinner. It was not a big deal if the five of them ate too much delicious food, but the way Ye Liuyun and He Yu ate was a bit ugly.

Lin Feng smiled and shook his head, "Brother Ye, Brother He, eat slowly, we still have sixteen dishes to serve!"

As soon as Lin Feng said this, Ye Liuyun and He Yu immediately realized that their eating habits were a bit indecent.

Ye Liuyun smiled awkwardly, "This food and wine are so delicious, I couldn't help but make you laugh, brother."

"Brother Wang, to be honest, this is the first time I've come to eat at the Tianhe Restaurant since I was a child. This banquet that costs one thousand taels per table is probably the only one I'll have in my life. I have to eat a lot."

After He Yu finished speaking, he continued to eat with big mouthfuls.

Time passed little by little, and the remaining sixteen dishes were served on the table one after another. Just when everyone was full of food and drink, Bai Shan walked in from outside and came directly in front of Lin Feng.

"Eat first, brothers. I'm going to go out for a while and will be back soon."

"Burp! Brother Wang, please come back soon. You'll have to burp after finishing the food and wine! Don't blame us for not leaving some for you!" Ye Liuyun said while burping.

"I'm full, you guys can eat, no need to leave any for me."

Lin Feng shook his head, then walked out of Tianhe Restaurant with Bai Shan.

"Your Majesty, Liu Zhangjian is waiting for you at the Chunqiu Bookstore across the street."

Lin Feng nodded and walked directly to the Spring and Autumn Bookstore. As soon as he entered the bookstore, Liu Song immediately stepped forward and bowed, "This old servant greets the prince!"

Lin Feng raised his hand and said, "Liu Zhangjian, there's no need to be so polite. You know about Gao Yanqing accepting money for guaranteeing official positions, right?"

Liu Song quickly saluted and said, "Your Majesty, Captain Bai has informed me of the situation. I have failed in my duty, so please punish me."

"There is no need to punish them. I will leave Tianhe Restaurant soon and you will go in to collect evidence. Once all the evidence is complete, immediately search the Gao family and put all the core members of the Gao family into the Heavenly Prison."

"Li Yan, Liu Qian, Zhou Yi, and Hu Yan are Gao Yanqing's men. We must control these four people before taking action, so as to prevent Gao Yanqing from doing something desperate."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I understand!"

Lin Feng nodded, turned around, left Chunqiu Bookstore and returned to Tianhe Restaurant.

Seeing the empty plates on the table, Lin Feng smiled and shook his head, "Pay the bill, mate!"

Gao Xiaowu, a waiter at Tianhe Restaurant, came to Lin Feng with a smile on his face and said, "Three gentlemen, I will give you three thousand taels."

Lin Feng, Ye Liuyun, and He Yu handed the banknotes to Gao Xiaowu one after another. Gao Xiaowu took the banknotes and politely extended his hand, "Gentlemen, please take care!"

The group quickly left the Tianhe Restaurant. The next place they were going to was the boating lake in the east of the city. Seeing the rows of carriages parked outside the gate, Lin Feng immediately said, "Brother Ye and Brother He, can we take your carriages to the boating lake together?"

Ye Liuyun and He Yu looked at Lin Feng at the same time, "Brother Wang, aren't the five of you riding in a carriage?"

Lin Feng nodded awkwardly, "Well... the five of us just came to the city from the countryside, and we just wanted to walk around and take a look, so..."

Ye Liuyun nodded, "I understand. Brother Wang, Brother Zhang, and Brother Yang can take my carriage. Brother He, Brother Li, and Brother Song are yours."

"No problem, my carriage is over there, Brother Li and Brother Song, please follow me!" He Yu said.

Afterwards, the two carriages slowly drove away from the Tianhe Restaurant and headed towards the east of the city where the boating lake was located...

Not long after the carriage left, Liu Song appeared at the entrance of Tianhe Restaurant with a large group of Jingjian Guards. "Surround Tianhe Restaurant. No one inside is allowed to leave."

"Yes!"

The Jingjian Guards took immediate action and quickly surrounded the Tianhe Restaurant.

The actions of the Jingjian Guards immediately alerted Gao Xiaowu, a waiter at the Tianhe Restaurant. He quickly walked out of the restaurant and came to Liu Song, bowing respectfully. "My lord, our Tianhe Restaurant has not violated any law. What are you doing?"

Liu Song looked at Gao Xiaowu, who was dressed as a waiter, and said, "This is a routine search by the Jingjian Division. Anyone who dares to interfere with official duties will be killed without mercy. Jingjian Guards, listen to my order, search the Tianhe Restaurant immediately."

"Yes!"

Lu Dongyuan led a team of Mirror Guards and immediately rushed into the Tianhe Restaurant, and the routine search officially began...
