"This is all Emperor Ama's merit." Hong Zhou flattered her at the right time, "Such a scene would have been unimaginable a few years ago."

This flattery was not clever, but the corners of Fourth Master's mouth still turned up.

Hong Zhou chuckled and clapped his hands, and someone came over with a tray. He handed two glasses of wine to Fourth Master and Lin Yutong, "... have a try, this is the wine brought back from overseas by Uncle Ninth..."

Lin Yutong took a sip, it was like Japanese sake.

Hong Zhou filled Lin Yutong's bowl again, but he said the twisted words to the fourth master, "...all the sweet potatoes grown in my son's farm are the sweet potatoes grown by the third brother. Nowadays, more and more sweet potatoes are planted, and the yield is indeed

There are more. Anyway, this thing doesn’t pick its place. If you sow it, you will always reap something... My son wants to ask Huang Ama, if I buy this thing... do you think it’s okay?"

This thing can fill his stomach and prevent him from starving to death. But if he eats it as a serious food, no one can bear it. When he thinks of this thing, acid water rises in his stomach, and when he thinks of chewing steamed sweet potatoes and eating chili peppers,

It's a day to dip in salt. Of course it would be nice if someone bought them and exchanged them for money. "What do you want so many sweet potatoes for?" he asked Hong Zhou.

Hong Zhou smiled and said, "...I planted a lot last year, and all the ones that could be planted were given to the third brother. There are also a lot of bad ones left. Some of them are divided and there are still some left. My son's restaurant has its own wine.

The master originally made wine at Zhuangzi. Unexpectedly, he was interested in sweet potatoes when he saw them, and he used them to brew sweet potato wine."

Lin Yutong laughed, and the boy really had some skills. Isn't this sweet potato wine? It's not very intoxicating, and the concentration is only between ten and thirty degrees.

Hong Zhou pointed to the north, "Whether it's Mongolia or Lao Maozi's land, the weather is very cold. Men like strong liquor, and the stronger the knife, the better, but for women, the lower alcohol content has a bit of sweetness.

I think it was very popular... My son just wants to sell this thing to the north... Even if it is changed into beef, mutton or wool..." It will be sold to Aunt Ninth on the spot for money.

The fourth master nodded, indicating that he agreed with his idea. He even ordered sweet potato wine and took a few sips. It tasted okay.

Hong Zhou took out all the wine in the restaurant and asked Fourth Master and Lin Yutong to taste it.

I have to say that this guy knows how to do business. There are all kinds of wines including peach blossom wine, apricot blossom wine, chrysanthemum wine, lotus wine, plum wine and so on.

The fourth master chuckled and said to Hong Zhou, "Isn't the filial piety money given a bit too little..."

What are you missing? Just spend enough. Money saved will be useful. The same principle applies to doing business. It’s like sailing against the current. If you don’t advance, you will retreat.

But he didn't dare to say this to his own Emperor Ama, so Nono nodded and promised to be more filial.

Lin Yutong just smiled and said nothing while looking at her. The wind blew, and the broken hair on her head covered her eyes. She turned her head to one side and raised her hands to arrange her hair. As soon as she opened her squinted eyes, she couldn't help but

He squinted again.

At the wonton stall facing the street below, the person sitting looks a bit like Hong Li.

There is nothing surprising about this. But who is the woman sitting opposite him with her face covered by a gauze? It is not the Fucha family, nor the Ulanala family, nor the Gao family, because this woman just sat down

At that moment, she saw that although her walking posture was also that of Pingpin Tingting, there was an obvious difference. I'm afraid she had small feet.

Bringing Han women out? That's okay. There are still few Han women in the late emperor's harem. Aren't they all women with small feet?

But what really made her squint was that at a glance, there were more than a dozen guards scattered around the two of them. Don't ask Lin Yutong how she saw it. It had become her instinct to observe the environment and make accurate judgments.

Moreover, these more than ten people are not Hongli's guards. People who come out of the guard camp can be recognized at a glance. After counting, only four of the eighteen people are people brought by Hongli. The rest are...

They all belong to the woman opposite him.

There was also the wonton stall, and they were the only ones sitting there now. There were so many food stalls, and they were all overcrowded. Why was only this one serving these two people? When she looked at it before, she didn't feel happy when she saw no customers.

He said, this business must be the best, they sold out all the preparations so early. But looking at it now, it is not like that at all. Looking at the old couple again, there is a look in their eyes.

.

Fourth Master was talking to Hong Zhou, but he didn't see her say anything for a long time. He turned to look at her and saw her looking down in a daze.

"What's wrong?" Fourth Master asked Lin Yutong and reached out to hold her hand. The view from the rooftop was clear, but it was also very cold.

Lin Yutong grabbed Fourth Master's hand and said, "It's Hongli..."

Fourth Master frowned and followed Lin Yutong's line of sight. He looked around and saw no one, "Where are they?"

Lin Yutong pushed the hand stove handed over by Hong Zhou, turned around and took a closer look, and found that Hong Li and the woman were no longer there.

The wonton shop was closing its stall. It was not the old couple before, but a middle-aged couple. They looked very happy. The guards scattered in the crowd were also missing. She frowned and called Hong Zhou

, "Send the guy to buy two bowls of wontons..."

Hong Zhou looked down and realized something in his heart. He said yes, turned around and left.

Fourth Master and Lin Yutong lost interest in enjoying the scenery and went to sit in the other room, waiting for Hong Zhou's reply.

Not long after, Hong Zhou came up and said, "...the pair selling wontons are known to the shop assistants. They often set up stalls on this street...they are people from nearby villages. This is unmistakable...I just asked someone to ask."

, said that an old couple rented their stall and gave them five taels of silver for one night..."

As for the origin of the old couple, it is not clear.

Not in the mood to stay any longer, Fourth Master and Lin Yutong went back to the garden directly.

Unexpectedly, Hongli came back one step ahead of them and was waiting in the imperial study room.

The Fourth Master patted Lin Yutong and said, "You go to sleep, and I'll see what Nie Zhan has to say."

After entering the imperial study room, before he could say anything, Hongli knelt down with a snap and said, "Huang Ama, my son has something important to report."

The fourth master looked at Hongli seriously and asked in a cold voice, "What's the matter?"

"The White Lotus Sect seems to have entangled my son." Hongli raised his head, with a look of fear on his face, "My son feels that the matter is not simple, and it is really difficult to deal with it. If I don't dare to hide it anymore, I will ask the emperor to make a decision."

Fourth Master's eyes narrowed, thinking whether he was sincere or whether Tongtong saw him and he also noticed Tongtong. He was a little unsure for a moment and turned to look at Su Peisheng, who had his head lowered.

He was just below the restaurant. Did Hongli find Su Peisheng? Or did the people around Hongli find Su Peisheng? It's hard to say.

If Su Peisheng could determine that Tongtong and himself were nearby, it would be a matter of course.

These are things that cannot be asked.

Therefore, Fourth Master did not speak for a while.

Hongli felt a little annoyed. He really had no intention of getting involved with those people at all. He was just upset today and went out for a walk. He didn't know why he got entangled with these people.

Seeing Huang Ama's appearance, he did not dare to hide anything and told everything about Jinan. Of course, he automatically ignored the entanglement with the woman, "...My son felt that these people had other masters, so at that time

Didn't alert the snake... I haven't found any clues for so long, but I didn't expect it to suddenly appear today... My son wanted to find out the root cause, but he patiently dealt with it for a few words, but he didn't get down to business yet.

The woman suddenly stood up to leave, and her son hurriedly asked where to find them. Instead, she pointed at Eunuch Su who was wandering downstairs in Chunfeng and called her son to see it, saying that if he didn't leave, his son would be in trouble. His son was really frightened at that time.

Unexpectedly, Huang Ama also came to this place. The son was not afraid of disaster, but he had to show a bit of panic to show her, so that she could believe her son's sincerity in cooperating with him..."

I don’t know if it’s true, but this is the most appropriate explanation. If he really wasn’t tempted at all, he should have reported it after returning from Jinan. That’s fine if he didn’t report it. He must have been in the capital for such a long time.

There was no investigation of the person behind the White Lotus Sect. Otherwise, Lao Qi would not have had any news at all. He lied about this. But the following words are really impossible to judge. He is very smart, and he will be smart.

All loopholes have been plugged. Speaking frankly.

The fourth master didn't believe that Hongli would really obey these people's advice, but he didn't necessarily mean to take advantage of them.

He didn't criticize anything, he just asked: "What do you want?"

"My son wants to..." Hongli paused for a moment, "My son wants to say that Emperor Ama just pretends that he doesn't know for the time being. If you can rest assured, give this job to your son... The White Lotus Sect has existed from the Southern Song Dynasty to the present. I want to start from the root."

It's hard to destroy them! My son is willing to make concessions with them and see how deep the water is inside..."

Even if he fails, he will not gain anything from this.

If it succeeds, the credit will be enough to earn a prince title.

There was no loss in taking one step forward or one step back, so he felt no pressure when applying for orders.

Fourth Master narrowed his eyes and smiled, "You are my son. If there is anything you can't believe...go ahead and do as you say."

After Hongli left, Fourth Master asked Lin Yutong to send people to keep an eye on Hongli's house.

During this period, Lin Yutong, who lived in Hongli's house, was constantly being watched. As a result, news came within two days. Wu Shulai went to a pawn shop in person while avoiding people, took out a cart full of things from the pawn shop, and returned through the back door at night.

The house is over.

Hongli had mortgaged things in banks, but he had never been to a pawn shop.

So where did this thing come from? What was it that was taken back?

The investigators specifically measured the ruts left by this cart on the dirt road, and based on calculations, concluded that it was a cart of gold.

The fourth master sneered, threw the message aside, and cursed: "That's all you can do!"

Lin Yutong couldn't help but laugh, fearing that this cart of gold was really tricked by Hongli from the White Lotus Sect.

When these two parties meet together, who knows who is cheating whom? The same goes for these people. Hongli is indeed a little confused when it comes to women, but in other places, if they treat Hongli as a fool, then they are really fools.

.

No, I don’t know that there is money that is not easy to praise, but Hongli got it so easily.

This way of getting rich can be regarded as a different approach.

Lin Yutong ordered them to continue digging. The pawn shop was a clue to find out what the relationship was with the White Lotus Sect. It was not too difficult to find out. In the end, after searching again and again, they found an unknown person.

Among the little people, the only useful information about this person is the cousin of Yuzhu's nanny.

Lin Yutong understood that these eight achievements were something that Li Si'er clung to. They fell into the hands of the White Lotus Sect, and now they are in the hands of Hongli. However, Li Si'er had a good idea of ​​hiding the money and put it in the pawn shop.

All he had to do was redeem the pawn with some money. Moreover, the person he used was a relative of his son's wet nurse. What's more, there were some unspeakable things between the cousin and the wet nurse's cousin. In order to leave a descendant for her son.

It also took a lot of thinking. I just don't know how to hand over the things so easily. It can be seen that the White Lotus Sect talks about worshiping the Buddha Mother, but it is actually not a good thing.

It's the beginning of the new year, and everyone is very busy. The main reason is that there is a war. There are many important things that are too busy for you. Lin Yutong said that he would just put it aside for now and see what tricks he could come up with.
To be continued...
