Wang Baochuan's drunkenness directly made her fall asleep until the next day. When she woke up, she only felt a splitting headache and her whole head was groggy.

Looking around in confusion, it was still a familiar environment. Li Feibai had already got up, and he heard the sound of pots and pans colliding downstairs.

I really didn't expect that after traveling for a while, I can't even hold the alcohol. After all, the amount of alcohol depends not on the will, but on the physical fitness. Wang Baochuan remembered that after he got drunk yesterday, he didn't know if anything happened, but he looked at the clothes well dressed. Yes, probably Li Feibai carried her back.

Thinking about it this way, Wang Baochuan became a little shy. When he went downstairs, Li Feibai was lighting a fire. He didn't know how to cook, but the cold rice Wang Baochuan kept the day before yesterday was still edible after reheating, and there were some naan, so he filled his stomach Not a problem.

Thinking of what happened yesterday afternoon, Li Feibai felt a little uncomfortable, and always felt a little guilty, even though he was just stealing money, and didn't really do anything.

Wang Baochuan stood at the stairs, watched Li Feibai busy, coughed and said, "Eh, good morning."

Li Feibai stopped what he was doing, glanced at her, and pretended to respond casually, "Morning."

The atmosphere seemed a bit awkward, and the sound of crackling firewood on the stove could be heard, but neither of them knew how to continue the conversation.It took Wang Baochuan a long time to say, "Uh, I didn't do anything to you last night, did I?"

After Li Feibai listened, he leaned on the stove with one hand and looked at her with a smile, "What can you do to me? Did you vomit all over me?"

Wang Baochuan turned pale with shock, did she lose her temper so badly after drinking?He quickly walked up to him and asked him, "Well, I really don't know that my drinking capacity has actually deteriorated now."

"Hmm, so what?" Li Feibai was amused by her appearance, so he became more playful in his heart.

"So, you, that, I'll pay for your clothes." Wang Baochuan lowered his head, index finger to index finger, looking like a young daughter-in-law.

Li Feibai laughed loudly and said, "Forget it, luckily I went with you, otherwise you would get drunk in someone's wine shop and smash all the wine jars, what should I do?"

Wang Baochuan was extremely embarrassed by what he said, and blushed and said, "Um, I will know later, and I won't drink anymore."

Last night, Li Feibai's coquettish attitude came back to Li Feibai's mind, he waved his hands and said with a smile, "That's not necessary, you can drink if you like, but the premise is that you must be within my sight when drinking. "

"Um, what if I vomit all over you again?" Wang Baochuan swallowed.

"Anyway, once you're born and you're familiar with it, you'll get used to it by spitting it out." This sentence seemed awkward. Wang Baochuan wondered if he had vomited Li Feibai yesterday?

Blinking and blinking, Li Feibai said, "Okay, don't stand still, I'm hungry." Regarding the matter of lighting a fire and cooking, he probably couldn't understand it for the rest of his life.

In order to make up for the mistake she made yesterday, Wang Baochuan hurriedly made amends and went to cook. When she was adding water and frying the rice, she suddenly remembered something, "Oh!"

With a "slap", the cup in Li Feibai's hand was almost dropped to the ground by her. In fact, he was pretending to be calm just now, but he was afraid that Wang Baochuan would know that he had kissed her secretly. To her, but felt guilty.

"I didn't make the siu mai and glutinous rice cakes that I promised my neighbor yesterday." Wang Baochuan looked at him with wide innocent eyes.

Li Feibai breathed a sigh of relief, "I went to tell them last night that you were drunk."

Wang Baochuan blushed, it was really embarrassing to be drunk, and he actually promoted it for herself, which made her feel even more ashamed.

After preparing breakfast, Wang Baochuan planned to go out to buy ingredients. She has always been a person who keeps her word.

Li Feibai continued to be his inspector and censor, wandering around, like a holiday, very comfortable.

The location of the restaurant has been decided, and he went to have a look in advance, the location is in Yanshoufang, very close to the imperial city, and there are many princes and princes living in the workshop, they spend a lot of money and like novelty, Li Feibai is very clearly.

He leased this restaurant to someone else to operate it back then, but the business has been mediocre in recent years, and Li Feibai has been there a few times, but the dishes are not new, not refined enough, and the taste is bland, and now it feels even more ordinary.

And the waiter in that store is very ungrateful, he often goes to and from the boxes to seek some benefits, and he is not happy to talk to a few princes and children who are good friends on weekdays, so the business is getting more and more sluggish. up.

Due to the continuous loss, the owner of this shop proposed not to renew the lease a few days ago. The time just happened to be the beginning of next month, when Wang Baochuan's place was almost ready for the decoration of the new shop, so this shop could just be vacated. Find a place for new stores to expand.

In the past, he had always handed over these matters to the steward. The stewards in the mansion, whether they were counting the land or running the business, had followed him since the former King Yu. It was a great experience to experience him from his father's generation to him. After going through wind and rain, he was diligent and conscientious, and there was no need for him to worry about everything.

But now Li Feibai is observing the situation and public opinion among the people, and he has to do everything by himself, so that he can finally appreciate the hard work of several shopkeepers.

After finishing what he had to do, when Li Feibai came out of Yanshoufang, when he was passing through the West Market, he saw Wang Baochuan still picking mutton.The taste of mutton in Chang'an is not the best. On the contrary, the sheep raised by shepherds in the Turkic area have a unique flavor.

Turkic people are good at equestrian skills, but Turkic people are also very competent as herdsmen. In the past, when he was hunting, he ate the fat sheep brought from Turkic side. The mutton purchased above will have a smell of mutton. If it is eaten without processing, the taste will not be good. If it is rougher and lower-grade mutton, it may make it difficult for the princes and nobles who are used to eating delicacies from mountains and seas.

Thinking of the roast leg of lamb that day, he couldn't help but smile.

Just as he was about to catch up with Wang Baochuan, suddenly a galloping horse galloped across the market, and the passers-by were terrified and gave way one after another.Li Feibai saw clearly that Cao Zhen, the court servant in yellow clothes, immediately stepped aside quietly.

But seeing behind Cao Zhen, there were more than a dozen eunuchs in white clothes riding big horses. Li Feibai had an impression of some of them. There was an unstoppable arrogance on his face.

Seeing Cao Zhen get off his horse, the salesmen around were a little scared when they saw this scene. It seemed that this was not the first time they encountered it. A few honestly trembled and wanted to retreat, and the smarter ones had already scattered like birds and beasts.

Some porters and peasant women stood by and looked around. Cao Zhen walked up to a vegetable vendor, waved his hand, and a dozen or so white-clothed eunuchs rushed up behind him. Gong Yugong, follow him and send the things to the palace." A eunuch in white clothes followed him, with a knife on his waist, the shopkeeper saw it, knelt down and kowtowed and said, "This Officer, I still have a wife, children, and children at home, so they pointed out that I sold some small capital to make a profit and go back to live. After he kowtowed, the eunuch in white came up to pull the cart, and the shopkeeper quickly went up to stop him, pulling him hard and refusing to let go.

Cao Zhen was furious, and shouted, "It's not that you won't give you money if you like your goods. If you don't know what's good, take it away." After speaking, he kicked the peddler in the chest, and a few clever men on both sides promptly Come up and drag him away.

This was the first time Li Feibai saw such a thing, the shopkeeper's head had already been smashed, blood was flowing all over his head, but he didn't know the pain yet, and wanted to grab his truck back.

Standing beside him was a man in green shirt. It seemed that this was not the first time he had seen this, so he shook his head and sighed.

Li Feibai turned around and cupped his hands to him, and asked, "Dare to ask this gentleman, what are you doing?"

Qingshan Lang returned the salute, and said to him, "Is this gentleman from other provinces? Oh, you don't know, these eunuchs come to the East and West markets every day to collect goods, but the money given to those salesmen is often There are only a few bolts of coarse cloth or old rice grains, which are not enough to pay for the goods, but they claim to follow the order of the Holy Majesty, and they wear the clothes of eunuchs in the palace. If they don't obey, they will eventually bring those people into the government. , even if other people are dissatisfied, there is nothing they can do about it.”

"May I ask how long it's been? Is there no one to take care of it?" After Li Feibai heard about it, he became angry immediately. If it really happened, it's impossible for him not to know about it. Could it be that it happened after his incognito inspection?

Qing Shanlang shook his head and said, "This happened more than two years ago, who cares? Who dares to care? They say they have followed the imperial decree, questioning them is despising the holy power, that is a capital offense, so often those salesmen would rather be accepted After getting the goods, I dare not say a word. Didn’t you see that after those people came, did the others escape? Look at this now—”

Following the hand of the man in green shirt, she saw that it was an old lady selling pork, but she didn't struggle, she wiped her tears secretly, but still put her pork into the bamboo basket, carried her back and walked away with those eunuchs, obviously I know that talking too much can't change anything.

"Ah, the world is getting tougher and the evil is in the way, where is the blue sky." Qingshanlang waved his hands and left with a sigh.

Li Feibai watched all this from the sidelines, feeling very irritable, and then went to look for Wang Baochuan, but she had long since disappeared. His expression was very stern, and he didn't know that many times a person is servile to another person, just tending to power I also know that people often bully the weak and fear the strong, especially eunuchs, but I don't think they can do such robber things in broad daylight.

Seeing his gesture, Huaqian and Yuexia hurried forward to listen to the order. Li Feibai went back to the Prince's Mansion for the first time in these days. He took the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, but he couldn't write for a long time.

If Cao Zhen had done this without telling his superiors, he would not be so arrogant, not to mention that the capital is under the feet of the emperor.Then, it is possible that these emperors know about it, and if he speaks out rashly, he may touch the emperor's dragon beard.

After thinking for a moment, Li Feibai decided to take a bath and change clothes, put on court clothes, burn incense balls, and rode a BMW into the palace.

He did not face the saint when he entered the palace, but summoned the great eunuch Xu Deming. Xu Deming has been serving Suzong personally, and has been in the palace for many years, and he is very trusted.

Li Feibai was still polite to him, and just asked casually, "Grand Xu, I want to ask you for advice, I don't know if I should?"

Xu Deming is such a shrewd person, Li Feibai might enter the main palace in the future, he naturally said very humbly, "Your Highness, but it's okay to ask."

"Is the royal tribute in this palace still coming from the taxes of various places?"

Xu Deming was slightly taken aback, and raised his head in surprise.
