Journey To the West From The Qin Dynasty

Li Jue was taken aback for a moment.

Then I laughed.

After all, Guiguzi is a genius who has taught many great people, and he is definitely extremely smart.

He said that with a small trick, Zhao Gao could ruin his reputation and family property, and finally be accused of crimes and be executed.

That would work for sure.

Li Jue smiled and said, "In that case, I'll leave it to you."

Guiguzi smiled and nodded, but his eyes were already flickering, obviously thinking about how to deal with Zhao Gao.

Li Jue couldn't help mourning for Zhao Gao. This guy suddenly offended the strongest master and apprentice in the world. If he knew, how would he feel? ?

In fact, there are many ways, but if you want to achieve the best effect and clean your buttocks, you must think carefully.

Li Jue still has great confidence in Guiguzi. This old apprentice is outstanding in all aspects. If he hadn't been suppressed by the Dao of Heaven, he would have been at least a celestial master in the Heavenly Court at this time.

It can only be said that Guiguzi's luck is bad.

But it can't be said that he was completely unlucky, at least he was worshiped under Li Jue's name and became Monkey King's junior, which is a blessing in disguise!

At least it was a blessing before there was no havoc in the Heavenly Palace.

next.

After another half month, Ying Zheng and others finally walked out of Jiujiang County, crossed the Yangtze River, and entered Kuaiji County!

Because of the Huaihe incident, Yingzheng was very careful when crossing the Yangtze River this time, and everyone in Jiujiang County and Kuaiji County in Daqin was very nervous.

They are all afraid of another accident.

But this time there was no danger, the Yangtze River was easily crossed, basically without any problems.

After stepping into Kuaiji, they settled directly at the Suzhou County Guard's Mansion, while Xiang Yu and others were in Wuzhong in Kuaiji, and the famous Liu Bang was in Peixian County.

The two are considered to be in the adjacent land. At this time, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu have not met each other. In fact, neither of them thought that each other would be the biggest opponent in the future.

Finally arrived in Suzhou to settle down, and the next thing is the biggest thing——Ying Zheng met all the chief executives of Kuaiji, as well as some gentry and celebrities!

And this time Yingzheng didn't know why, he gave all the people in Kuaiji County three days to prepare for the court meeting.

In fact, it is to present treasures to them, and it is also for his people to investigate!

After all, the assassination of Huaihe was so unforgettable that Yingzheng was really upset that he hadn't found the mastermind until now!

Although the incident happened in Jiujiang County, some people found out that the identities of some of the deceased were from Kuaiji territory!

Kuaiji was the most affluent place in Chu State in the past, and there are still many survivors of Chu State.

It is impossible for Ying Zheng not to suspect these Chu nobles.

But there was no evidence, so he sent people to investigate, and at the same time summoned all the celebrities, if anyone didn't come, it would be a guilty conscience.

If someone came, he would have to interrogate himself, maybe he could see some flaws.

Ying Zheng is very confident that as long as these people dare to come, they will definitely show their feet, and there will definitely be flaws.

If anyone finds out who is murdering him, the nine clans will definitely be bloodbathed.

In the hall.

Concubine Yu is preparing dinner. After all, she has come to Kuaiji, a land of fish and rice, rich in products.

In particular, hairy crabs are very famous, and it is close to the sea. From time to time, big businessmen bring seafood from the Yangtze River estuary to sell.

Yu Ji bought a lot of seafood, added some salamanders from the Yangtze River, and white dolphins to make delicious dishes.

Paired with his Feitian wine, it can be described as extremely plump.

As for things like bear's paw and bird's nest, needless to say, there are ingredients everywhere in this place, and animals under first- and second-level protection are flooded like pigs and dogs. Others dare not eat them, but they are directly served on Li Jue's table.

This time it was another big table for dinner, which was an unheard of big meal, but it made the neighbors in the neighborhood cry.

but.

This time, Li Jue's neighbors were not the grassroots people in Sifang Street, but high-ranking executives and generals, and most of them looked down on Li Jue on weekdays.

Along the way, they even regarded Li Jue as an enemy. After all, Li Jue and Zhao Gao were at odds, and they did not dare to offend Zhao Gao.

This time, Li Jue made delicious food again, which immediately attracted a lot of abuse from officials, but there were also some officials who had no morals and came to the entrance of Li Jue's clubhouse.

There was a knock on the door.

Concubine Yu opened the door and saw that there were several old men from the current court, and their positions were not small, all of them were at the Jiuqing level.

There are Jijiu, Changshi, Langzhongling, and high-ranking officials such as admonishing doctors, Taizhong doctors, and Zhongdoctors.

Any one of them stomping their feet in Xianyang can make Xianyang tremble; when they are sent to other places, any big officials in the frontier will walk backwards to greet them.

Such big figures gathered at the door of Li Jue's house.

And Yu Ji could also see the doors of other guild halls around her open. Many high-ranking officials came here without being cheeky, but they stretched their necks to look around.

Obviously they wanted to see what Li Jue's family ate and why it was so delicious.

And they also want to see if Li Jue is willing to give them to them, as long as they are willing to give them to the door, it will be easier for them to ask for it.

If they refused, they would not lose face.

Yu Ji opened the door and asked, "My lords, why are you here?"

Admonishing the doctor said: "The old man smelled the aroma of your food. You all ate so well all this way, and the Imperial Dining Room couldn't make it at all."

Yu Ji said expressionlessly, "So?"

After hesitating and hawing for a long time, the admonishing doctor said cheekily: "I just want to ask, do you take out your food?"

Yu Ji was about to close the door, and said, "Not for sale."

The advising doctor immediately stood in front of the door and said, "Don't worry, it's fine if you don't sell it, so will you give it away?"

Yu Ji acted like she was looking at an idiot, and said, "If you don't sell it, why not give it to you?"

Doctor Adviser and the others couldn't believe it, they looked astonished, and said: "But, we are Jiuqing!"

Yu Ji smiled and said, "What's none of my business?"

"You are the emperor's courtiers, and you are looking for the emperor to eat. Why are you looking for us?"

Li Jue's voice came from behind, saying, "Concubine Yu, close the door quickly, don't let them see that baby!"

The ministers were stunned when they heard these words, what a treasure! ?

As a result, they peeked in, and their eyes immediately became straight.

Such a big and beautiful coral, hiss, so beautiful! !

All the ministers were dumbfounded, they had never seen such a beautiful and dazzling coral, even the coral next to the Dragon Chair in Zhangtai Palace was a size smaller than this one!

Li Jue felt that someone had discovered the baby, so he quickly covered it with a cloth and said, "Yu Ji, what are you doing, didn't you tell you to close the door!?"

It was Yu Ji who closed the door.

The officials outside the door were all dumbfounded. Such a treasure made their hearts itch, and they had already forgotten the smell of Li Jue's food.

in the room.

Li Jue put on a smiling face and said, "Concubine Yu, come on, you've done a good job. I'll reward you with a piece of tender meat. It's very delicious!"

After Yu Ji took it, she thanked her and said with a smile, "Master, you let me open and close the door on purpose, and let them see the coral. What exactly do you want?"

Li Jue said: "Didn't I say that you want to sell this coral to Zhao Gao? How can you sell it to him without being seen by others!?"

Guiguzi was very smart, and laughed beside him, "Master intends to use the mouths of these ministers to pass the news to Zhao Gao, and then force Zhao Gao to buy it."

Then he said again: "But, master, it's too deliberate to say this, and Zhao Gao is really willing to give up so much money. Besides, he might not be ashamed to ask you to buy coral!"

Li Jue said: "I know what you mean, don't worry, I will put this thing up for auction, and the highest bidder will get it. It is not necessary for Zhao Gao to have contact with me, but he will definitely bid the highest price!"

auction! ?

Guiguzi is very smart, but he has never heard of this word.

Li Jue's brief introduction is that he was praised by Guiguzi as a peerless genius, extremely smart.

The flattery made Li Jue blush.

After dinner.

the next day.

A news spread throughout Kuaiji that there was a huge coral to be auctioned in the West Lake Tavern in Suzhou.

The word auction is also spread, that is, each bids, and the highest bid wins.

Hearing that it is a big coral, many rich people and celebrities are staring at it, wanting to snap up it.

After all, Ying Zheng was going to meet everyone, and they would definitely win Ying Zheng's favor by showing this thing out.

Immediately, some people prepared money, and at night, they gathered at the West Lake Tavern.

Those who come here are all subject to capital verification, and their assets are at least 10,000 taels of silver, and they will not be given any less.

Many big businessmen originally wanted to watch the excitement, and if they could, they would take pictures of things and sell them at a high price.

Or they bought it for their master's family and gave it to Ying Zheng as a political donation.

but.

I didn't expect the threshold to be so high. After watching the excitement, I would have to be worth over ten thousand, otherwise I wouldn't be eligible to enter the tavern.

And after these entered the tavern, they were also served with good wine and good food.

The dishes are some of the unique skills that Li Jue taught to the chef. There are different methods of frying, frying, stewing and frying.

And the wine is naturally Feitian wine.

Li Jue didn't give it for nothing, the main reason is that this West Lake Tavern belongs to the Hu family, that is, Hu Man!

But now Hu Man has returned to the Hu family and has taken over some of the Hu family's business, which naturally includes this tavern.

It can be said that this tavern belongs to Hu Man, and Hu Man belongs to Li Jue.

Li Jue is teaching his cooking skills to his own chefs to make their business better. The second is that Feitian Wine is to be spread at this time, to open up sales, and to open up fame!

as expected.

The auction has not yet started, and the rich businessmen and celebrities who came here, as well as the nobles and high-ranking officials, are all full of praise for the dishes and wine!

They even forgot for a while, what they were here for, they only cared about eating, and kept shouting for more food and wine!

Of course.

These people can't eat for nothing, the auction is held here, but they have to pay for their meals!

A meal is not cheap, but these people can afford it, after all, there is money!

Moreover, the people in the tavern are all persons of status, and the most unidentified are those big businessmen, and they have a lot of money, and they don't want celebrities, aristocrats and high officials to look down on them, so they will definitely give money.

Some people have even started to ask whether these Feitian wines and dishes can be packed and taken away.

Naturally, Feitian wine is available, but the dishes can only be eaten in the store.

There are also some shrewd businessmen who are considering whether this Feitian wine can be exported as an agent for them.

Regarding this level, Li Jue had also thought about it, and had already instructed the shopkeeper what to say and how to do it.

We will select qualified distributors and let them sell Feitian wine to the whole country, so as to gain fame and market!

However, the price will be fixed, and these big merchants will not be allowed to drive up prices or sell goods.

Talk about two ends.

Big businessmen value profit, and they like good wine, but nobles and high officials value reputation, they taste delicious food, and they don’t forget that they are here to bid for coral!

That thing is said to be bigger than the coral around the emperor, if you buy it and give it to the emperor, it will definitely win the emperor's favor.

Maybe.

It's no problem to confer an official title.

finally.

The long-awaited began to come out.

Guiguzi went out on behalf of his teacher, and appeared in front of the counter wearing a bamboo hat and gauze.

And there was a big coral in front of him, covered with gauze, and he looked around the crowd, immediately making everyone quiet.

He seems to have magical powers, everyone is looking at him and listening to his speech!

Guiguzi said: "The old man's surname is Wang, please call him Mr. Wang for the sake of saving face. In this auction of coral, please bid as much as you like, the one with the highest price wins!"

There was no nonsense, and the reserve price was directly quoted: "The reserve price is 3,000 taels of silver, everyone can start asking prices!"
