I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 677

In the evening, the streets of the capital were still noisy, and there was no difference because of the arrival of night.

Yang Suwen was already anxiously waiting for the arrival of King Liao and others in a small alley.

And Sun Ruowei was rushing to the location of the workshop, and brought a cup of milk tea for each of the brothers, which ordinary people could not enjoy for the time being.

Huang Yan, Zhu Gaoxu, and Wang Fu each have their own missions and stick to their positions.

Accompanied by Jiang Bao, Li Tian leisurely came to the newly opened restaurant.

Last time, he accompanied Zhang Qinghuan out to watch the fireworks, but because of Sun Ruowei's trouble, he didn't go in to have a look.

This time Li Tian finally had a chance.

According to the information obtained earlier, this restaurant was built with the money of a wealthy businessman in the south, and the various standards were built according to the specifications of the landmark restaurants in the capital such as the Sea Lion Tower and Zuixian Pavilion.

It is said that only two or three million taels of silver were spent on the interior decoration.

In this period, anyone who can put out several 10 taels of silver at once is all a wealthy merchant among the wealthy merchants, and it is definitely a big deal.

And the owner of this store is clearly ambitious. Not only did he spend a lot of money on the decoration, but in the first few days of opening, he either had fireworks or hired an opera troupe to set up a stage to sing.

Even the Beijing News has placed exclusive advertisements for several days in succession, in order to completely establish its reputation.

As far as the current Beijing News is concerned, every advertising space is extremely valuable, and the exclusive advertisement has not appeared for a long time.

According to a report from the Beijing News Department some time ago, the exclusive advertisements of the Beijing News have reached 2000 taels a day, and they put them in for ten days at once, which is 2 taels.

Even Li Tian couldn't help but twitched his eyebrows a few times when he heard this number.

Of course, Li Tian wasn't too free, because he spent a lot of money, so he came here to take a look.

Who is the owner of this store, until now Li Tian has not found out a clue.

All I know is that he is a wealthy businessman from the south of the Yangtze River, but he doesn't know if he is a man or a woman, tall, short, fat or thin, or what his last name is.

It can be said that this person is a person who is more mysterious than his own identity as Mr. Li.

But this is not the reason why Li Tian pays special attention to this restaurant.

Judging from the information received by the intelligence department, almost all the waiters and cooks in this restaurant were brought back from Jiangnan by the mysterious owner.

Even the dozens of people invited by this troupe are all from Jiangnan.

These hundreds of Jiangnan people suddenly appeared in the capital at this critical juncture, and the time of entering the city was almost the same as that of Yang Suwen and others.

This is what makes Li Tian very suspicious.

He guessed that the behind-the-scenes owner of this restaurant, and the guys and troupes in the restaurant, are likely to be the nobles in Nanjing, a nail in the capital, and they will wait until the critical moment to play a role.

Of course, these are just Li Tian's personal guesses. He knows that he doesn't have any evidence to prove their relationship with the Xungui Group in Nanjing.

Now the only chance to prove that they asked again is to show up and deliberately lure them to show their flaws.

As for why Li Tian deliberately made it out at this critical node, in fact, he also has his own considerations.

As long as King Liao and others take action today, they will definitely be wiped out.

If there is really a problem with the people in this restaurant, after tonight, when everything is settled, they will inevitably hide deeper, and it will be even more difficult to find them out.

That's why I took the risk and used myself to test it out before all the actions started.

If they really have problems, that's fine, take advantage of this opportunity to uproot them.

It would be even better if they had no problem, and Li Tian would not have to worry about this matter, and he could focus on dealing with the unruly people in the court at this time.

Taking a look at the three golden characters of "Xihelou" hanging above the restaurant, Li Tian stepped inside without any hesitation.

But before he stepped in, he heard someone calling himself behind him.

Li Tian turned his head and found that it was the third lady whom he hadn't seen for several days.

Li Tian was very embarrassed when he found out that the third lady had come, so he hurried to her side and whispered to him,

"Why did you come here, hurry up, it may not be peaceful here tonight!"

The third lady said indifferently,
"My boss specially ordered someone to send an invitation to let me come over tonight. Didn't you also accept the invitation? Why can you come, but I can't!"

Li Tian frowned slightly, no matter how he thought about it, he felt that the third lady might be a trouble here, but he couldn't tell her the danger inside right now.

At last he could only sigh,

"Since you insist, I won't stop you anymore, but we have agreed that no matter where I go, you must follow closely, and don't leave my sight."

The third lady thought he was implying something to herself, her pretty face blushed slightly, and she said sweetly like a little girl,

"Okay, my family will listen to your arrangement tonight, son, and you will do whatever you say!"

Li Tian shook his head helplessly, but didn't say much, and walked directly inside.

What the third lady said was indeed correct, the owner of the restaurant seems to have really invited many wealthy and famous people in the capital tonight.

As soon as he entered, Li Tian saw several familiar faces.

If Fan was in normal times, he probably turned around and left, but tonight he came here on purpose to pretend to be aggressive, to attract attention, he hesitated for a moment, then stopped straight and walked over.

The innermost part of the hall on the first floor is a stage, and there are already people performing on it.

The first row around the stage was obviously reserved for special guests, and not many people were seated.

On the other hand, the rows in the back were already full of people.

Li Tian ignored everyone and went straight to the best position in the front row.

The third lady had guessed Li Tian's identity a long time ago, and she didn't stop her, but followed him with a secret heart.

Not long after he sat down, someone came to him and wanted him to leave.

"Guest, this position is reserved for a special adult, see if you can..."

Li Tian snapped open the folding fan in his hand. On one side of the folding fan was a landscape painting, while on the other side were written five vigorous characters,
"Hold the blue sky with one hand!"

These few words, taken out individually, are very common words, but together, they are too arrogant.

People in this era, whether they are literati or generals, are more shameless and modest, no matter how capable they are, they dare not write such arrogant words on their fans.

If someone really wrote these words, he was either a fool, or a person with great ability and ability.
