Money can really do whatever it wants

The well-known Meiji pastry shop in the capital is owned by Wanmei Villa. This is probably something that no one would have thought of. After all, the name Ximen Chuuxue and the pastry shop owner are too far apart.

However, this Coke broke the blue bird.

Ever since they settled down in Meiji, the blue bird's beak has hardly stopped.

His stomach is a bottomless pit, as long as he is willing, he can eat up a mountain of pastries, let alone a small pastry shop.

The point is, he still doesn't give money.

The people in the shop went from the warm hospitality at the beginning, to the shock and numbness at the end, and finally the pain in the flesh.

Meiji's pastries are not cheap, one or two silver per catty, ordinary people can't afford it, and wealthy families have to queue up to buy it.

But it is such a brand that has already made a name for itself in the capital, and Jade Bird stuffed it into its stomach as if it did not ask for money—it did not ask for money, after all, it was the shopkeeper who personally promised to let him eat whatever he wanted.

The pastries were brought up plate by plate, and then wiped out plate by plate. The speed of making could hardly keep up with the speed of eating.

The shopkeeper's heart is bleeding, it's all white money.

In any case, he never thought that he was just doing his duty to entertain the distinguished guests from the village, but why!Why is this distinguished guest so edible!

Just when the shopkeeper was regretting, a carriage stopped at the door of the store, and the driver who drove the carriage landed first, and then helped out a 50-[-]-year-old woman with a dignified face from the carriage.

The boy working in the shop immediately greeted him, and said politely: "Madam, I'm sorry, the shop is closed today."

The woman said as she entered the store: "I'm not here to buy anything, I'm looking for someone."

"Who is Madam looking for?" Seeing that she was well dressed, the shopkeeper came over and asked in person.

"Master Qin Mo Qin."

Qingniao's eating movements slowed down, but the shopkeeper's eyes were fixed, and he said in a deep voice: "Sorry, we don't have a master named Qin here."

The woman smiled slightly, lowered her voice and said: "One hour ago, Master Qin entered the capital through the north gate, and then the carriage he was riding in entered the back gate of Meiji, isn't it?"

The shopkeeper instantly became alert.

The woman was very calm, and there was even a little more respect in her words, "My master has no malicious intentions, but just wants to ask the master for a favor, and there will be a big thank you after it is done."

The shopkeeper couldn't decide on this matter, so he turned his attention to Jade Bird.

"..."

Blue Bird stuffed the last piece of pastry into his mouth, then wiped his mouth and walked to the backyard.

The carriage swayed forward, the speed was not fast, but it was not too slow, and there were constant noises outside the window.

Qin Mo had never been to the capital, and he didn't know the way. He didn't know where the carriage turned around. The woman sitting next to him offered him a cup of fragrant tea at the right time.

When the other party didn't speak, Qin Mo also remained silent. It was rare for Qingniao not to be brought by his side, because the other party was determined and appointed only Master Qin to go to the appointment alone.

Blue Bird naturally refused to agree, but was stopped by Qin Mo. He lowered his eyes and covered all his emotions with the movement of drinking tea.

By the time the carriage stopped, the remaining half cup of tea was already cold.

When Qin Mo got out of the car, what appeared in front of him was not the imaginary deep house, but an ordinary small courtyard.

But when he went in, he realized that there was something different inside.

Every plant, every tree, every flower and every scene are decorated just right. Although the yard is not big, it also has a quiet and elegant beauty.

The outside is already like this; not to mention the furnishings of the tables and chairs in the house, Qin Mo felt that it would definitely sell for a lot of money.

The pretty little girl served him a cup of tea, looking at him with curiosity.

Qin Mo smiled slightly at her, who immediately blushed.

The woman coughed lightly, and said: "My master will be here soon, please ask Master Qin to wait for a while."

Qin Mo nodded, expressing that he didn't care.

He was curious about the master.

He didn't wait for a long time, when there was movement at the door, Qin Mo put down the teacup and looked up, just in time to see a gorgeously dressed, graceful woman walking in with her support.

She should be very old, but she is well maintained. Her skin is delicate, her hair is black, and the few shallow lines around her eyes do not damage her demeanor.

"Are you Qin Mo?" Her voice was warm and not rude.

"I'm Qin Mo."

"The Ai family has long heard of Mr.'s name, but did not expect Mr. to be so young."

A word of mourning directly pointed out his identity.

Qin Mo knew that the other party's status must be very high, but he didn't expect it to be so high. If he had known it earlier, he would not have come.

People have to bow their heads under the eaves, and they have to follow the customs when they enter the country. Qin Mo bent his legs and knelt on the ground if he resigned to his fate. Fortunately, the other party stopped him in time.

"Mr. Qin Mo, there is no need to be too polite." The queen mother supported him personally, "This is not a palace, sir is a distinguished guest from Ai's family, so don't be restrained."

Qin Mo was silent for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "The grassroots are terrified."

That should be right—— right?

The Queen Mother smiled, and was supported to sit down on the head.

The tea at hand was changed again, and Qin Mo didn't want to touch it anymore. Although the tea is good, he is not fat and green after drinking three cups in a row.

"It is the helplessness of the Ai family to take the liberty of inviting you here." The Empress Dowager sighed: "This matter concerns the country and society, please help me, sir."

Now Qin Mo was really surprised, he said: "I'm just a commoner, with all due respect, even if I have a heart for the affairs of the country and the country, I can't help the Queen Mother."

"No." The Queen Mother shook her head and said firmly, "Only you can help me with this matter."

After a pause, she continued: "To tell you the truth, sir, I attracted people's attention when his reputation was first spread out. I have heard about everything my husband has done during this period of time. , especially after what happened in Huafeng Town, it is not an exaggeration to say that the name of Mr. is known to the world."

"Mister's Taoism is profound, apart from you, the Ai family really can't find anyone else who can deal with that monster!"

"magician?"

The Empress Dowager seemed to have thought of something, a strong disgust appeared between her brows, but it was quickly suppressed by her, she rubbed her forehead and said: "The demon's name is Song Silan, he appeared five months ago, I don't know why Just got the emperor's son's own eyes, not to mention his favor and trust, and even made him a national teacher."

Speaking of this, she snorted coldly, "My Daqing is not the former dynasty, when did I have a national teacher, he was bewitched by that evildoer and lost his head!"

The one who can be called the emperor by the queen mother is naturally only today. She can scold directly, but others can't follow suit.

So Qin Mo asked in a timely manner: "But what did the national teacher do to disturb Chao Gang?"

"It's more than disturbing the court." The queen mother sighed: "Since he has this national teacher, the emperor has obeyed him. As long as he is disrespectful to him, he will either be dismissed or imprisoned. A month ago, Mr. Cheng Ge came to impeach him. The national teacher deceived the public with his demonic words, bewitched the saints, was dismissed from his official position by the emperor's decree, the whole family was imprisoned, and Cheng Ge died in prison in anger."

Qin Mo didn't take it seriously. Isn't it the emperor who made the decision? !But from ancient times to the present, no matter how stupid the emperor is, those around him like to find excuses to excuse them. Everything is the fault of treacherous officials, and they just listen to slander.

However, in front of his mother, Qin Mo would naturally not show his indifference. He even echoed, "He is indeed a treacherous minister who will bring disaster to the country and the people."

Then he said again: "But this kind of thing should be advised by the officials. I am not a member of the officialdom, and it seems that I can't help much."

"No, only sir can deal with that monster." The queen mother paused and said, "To tell you the truth, the Ai family once sent people to assassinate that monster."

Qin Mo looked at her in surprise.

The queen mother smiled bitterly, "The Ai family really hates him so much, the emperor was not like this before, he is a good emperor who loves the people like a son, is diligent and kind, and he is also - very filial, but now he, the Ai family sometimes looks at him Everything is strange, and all the changes started from the appearance of the demon, so Aijia wondered if he had done something to the emperor."

"You think that apart from the culprit, the emperor can be 'normal'."

"Yes." The Empress Dowager said: "The Ai family's method is not very bright, the Ai family knows it, but the Ai family does not regret it."

A woman who dares to be tough is worthy of being the Queen Mother, Qin Mo nodded, "It failed?"

"Failed." The queen mother didn't know what to think of, her lips were a little pale, she calmed down, and then said: "He knows black magic."

Qin Mo raised his eyebrows and finally became interested.

"The Ai family sent twelve people, twelve of whom are first-rate masters, but they never came out after entering the National Teacher's Zhaixing Building, not even a corpse."

"It's just killing people to silence them. This doesn't mean that the national teacher has sorcery." Qin Mo said calmly.

"No, when Aijia asked people to investigate secretly, they found one of the 12 people, that person was still alive, his neck was cut, he had no breathing or pulse, but he was still 'alive', like a puppet Also under the control of that monster."

"I suspect that the emperor also fell into such a witchcraft, so I invited you here."

Qin Mo's eyes suddenly sharpened.

After a while, he finally said, "I'll take this order."

Dali Temple, cell.

It was very dark here, only a little light came in from the small palm-sized window.

Ximen Chuuxue sat in the only small piece of light, basking in the sun.

He had his sword on his knees, and he was probably the first and only man ever to go to jail with a weapon.

Naturally, the environment in the prison was not much better, but Ximen Chuuxue was still wearing his white clothes, with a neat bun, and he didn't look embarrassed at all.

This is Ye Gucheng's first impression of his long-lost opponent.

"My lord." The jailer smiled flatteringly, and opened the cell door nimbly, "You can take him away at any time."

Two pairs of equally deep eyes, looking at each other from the inside of one door and the outside of the other.

Ximen Chuuxue was unusually confused, how could it be Ye Gucheng?How could it be Ye Gucheng? !

Just when he doubted his life, a voice suddenly sounded, Ximen Chuuxue touched his stomach, expressionless.

The jailer hurriedly said: "We didn't intend to abuse him, it's because he doesn't eat!" This is the most picky prisoner he has ever seen.

The originally dignified and tense atmosphere suddenly dissipated.

Ye Gucheng stretched out his hand, "Let's go, I'll take you to eat first."
