I can't die

The staff of Chen Decai, the remnant of the Taiping Remnant, also seemed to have some kung fu. Seeing Liu Xiang get on a horse, he also got on a horse, and Liu Xiang rode the horse towards the Changhe Tower.

Changhe Restaurant is the best restaurant in Yumen Town, and it has a bit of history.The crowd rode their horses furiously in Yumen Town, because there were soldiers clearing the way, the ordinary people immediately retreated after hearing the sound, which made it even more obvious that this pedestrian had a strong aura of dandyism.

When everyone walked to the Changhe Tower, soldiers armed with blade armor had surrounded the restaurant, looking heavily guarded.Liu Xiang jumped off his horse and wanted to enter the building, but was stopped by soldiers at the door of the building:

"I'm sorry, the lord is not allowed to bring weapons in for meals."

Hearing this, Liu Xiang sneered, immediately untied the long sword at his waist and threw it back, just in time to be caught by Bingsan, and wanted to go inside again, but saw the soldier guarding the gate and said: "Please trouble me Let the villain check it out."

At this point, Liu Xiang showed anger, and looked at the leading staff: "Why, can't I still be searched? Is this how your lord treats guests?"

When Liu Xiang raised his eyebrows and stared at him, there was an imposing manner immediately, which should not be underestimated.At this point, the staff member was frightened, and stepped forward to smooth things over: "If you have no eyesight to see, how can you get close to Mr. Liu. It's okay, Mr. Go in."

"What about my brothers?" Liu Xiangfu asked.

The staff looked at the seven burly men behind Liu Xiang, but they didn't dare to let them in: "Why don't you ask someone to find another place to hold a banquet? The little one will definitely serve you brothers attentively. .”

Hearing what the staff said was tactful, Liu Xiang was not very good at continuing to attack, so he waved his hands to C, C, C, and the others, letting them take care of themselves, and then followed the staff into the Changhe Building.

If you want to say that being rich is not as good as being powerful, the owner of the Changhe Tower can be considered a local rich man, but he was also occupied by Chen Decai. Today, because of Chen Decai's presence, he couldn't do business and was booked out.Chen Decai's box was the best seat in the Changhe Building, and he could overlook the magnificent desert scenery outside the Yumen Pass from a distance from the window.Liu Xiang immediately walked into the private room, only to see that there were already a variety of exquisite cold dishes on the table.

"I'm going to Liu Xiang, the owner of Xinzhe Grain Company, and I've met King Fu." Liu Xiang saluted, and keenly heard the slight sound of breathing around him, presumably there were many good hands hiding in the next room of the box.

Fu Wang Chen Decai saw Liu Xiang's appearance and posture, and his face flashed in a daze for a moment, and he replied in his heart: He really looks good.

"Please get up quickly, the young shopkeeper was specially called to make amends. Take your seat quickly."

Chen Decai's tone was very kind, not as if he was trying to put on airs.When Liu Xiang heard the words, he also went down the donkey along the slope and sat down opposite Chen Decai.Chen Decai had two pretty girls beside him. Seeing Liu Xiang was seated, he hurriedly poured wine for Liu Xiang.

"Thank you."

Liu Xiang was also polite, thanked the maid, restrained her dandyism, and acted like a son of an aristocratic family, which instantly made the maid blush.

"My lord said earlier that I would make amends, but I was terrified. I don't know why my lord is doing this, so I specially arranged this banquet?"

Liu Xiang pretended to be puzzled, but he already guessed in his heart what Chen Decai's so-called apology was for.It's not just the fact that he sent someone to intercept the grain of Xinzhe grain line.

"Shaodong's family is also a sensible person, so why pretend to be confused?"

Liu Xiang swaggered into the city before, just to show Chen Decai, who was stationed on the edge of the city, and told him that people from the Liu family came to him to ask for an explanation.Chen Decai was also fortunate enough to be on the road, guessing Liu Xiang's intentions for coming this time, so he set up a banquet and said he was here to "make amends".

It stands to reason that someone like Chen Decai, who was born in a rebellious army, would not talk about kingly law, and would swallow it if he swallowed it in exchange for other food, but he had other thoughts when he heard that the Liu family was coming. .The Liu family is now one of the most powerful in Zhejiang, with great energy in their hands, and tens of thousands of grain and groceries under the name of the grain companies in various places. If they can hook up with the Liu family for a long time, why worry about their own food raising in the future?

Seeing this, some people may say, Chen Decai is so sure that Liu Xiang will fall into his trap, and instead of being a good imperial businessman, go to the business of collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country?In fact, Chen Decai didn't care whether the Liu family fit in or not, anyway, as long as the Liu family met him, the "traitor" called by the court, and spread the word, it would be enough for the Liu family to drink a pot, and the court people would be shocked.

It's also fortunate that Liu Xiang also has an identity as a blood drop on the sticky pole, otherwise he might not have really fallen for Chen Decai's trick.

"My Liu family was born in Shang Jia, and those who do business are most afraid of making trouble. I don't understand the words of Lord Chen."

Liu Xiang's words are very clear, since you swallowed the food, you swallowed it. My Liu family knows that you did it. Facing the sky, each side walks halfway.

"That's not the case. Who would think that money is too little?"

Since ancient times, the foreign trade business between the Central Plains and the frontier has been hugely attractive and profitable, second only to maritime trade.It is impossible for the New Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce to slip away with such a big cake in vain.

"Furthermore, Liu Shaodong's family is here, why don't you stay for a few more days?"

Hearing Chen Decai's words, Liu Xiang's complexion turned aside, and he smiled coldly: "My lord, what you said will hurt your peace..." But if persuasion fails, are you going to force it?Not to mention the ability of the sticky stick, it is really the Liu family. If they encounter such a serious crime that may destroy the nine families, they will probably only abandon Liu Xiang to save the whole family.

"After all, the Liu family is based in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. I can't make up my mind about many things."

"It's okay, the king only wants Ganbei. Don't worry, the army is in chaos now. If the king deliberately conceals it, no news will leak out."

Chen Decai also knew his own appetite, so he would not say that he wanted the whole country's food from the new Zhejiang grain line, but he felt that he could still swallow the food from the half-province.

Ganbei?This place is not small, not to mention the war in Shaanxi and Gansu, and the price of grain is soaring. The grain in a barren and semi-provincial land like Gansu costs at least more than 500 million taels of silver.

When Liu Xiang heard it, he just thought it was funny, but he couldn't show it on his face, so he had to say: "That's the case, let's think about it next time, and give the prince a reply in three days."

Liu Xiang's expression was uneasy, and he got up from his seat, as if he didn't want to talk to Chen Decai anymore, and went out directly.

The guard hiding in the next room heard Liu Xiang's rude farewell, hurried out from inside, and said to Chen Decai, "My lord, let him go like this?"

"No problem." Chen Decai waved his hand confidently: "This Mr. Liu is a smart man, he will know what to do."
