When he woke up again, there was nothing left on his body that was intact, and even the silver he had just obtained was looted.
He had a vague guess in his mind, but you asked him if he dared to go back.
That was absolutely unacceptable, so the shopkeeper crawled out of the sack and quickly walked in the opposite direction.
He has to report to his superiors immediately.
The Emperor of Qin has set his sights on Zuihelou and wants to quickly cut off all connections between the secret agents.
What he didn't know was that a man in black was following him slowly.
*
When Concubine Chen saw Liusu coming back with the package, she smiled and slowly drank the tea she had taken from the car.
Her taste has been spoiled by His Majesty.
Doctor Jiang looked at the familiar package, wondering what he didn't understand.
"My Lady, you, you are setting a trap! If the shopkeeper reports this to customs, we will have to pay double the compensation."
Concubine Chen calmly drank a sip of tea and said, "He won't do that. He's probably too scared to think of anything else to do."
[Wow, my mother is really amazing. This person went directly to the base camp and was scolded by the superiors. Hahahaha.]
He never imagined that the Emperor's secret guards were following him. Now their lair was completely destroyed.
[Tsk tsk, how miserable it is! ]
When Concubine Chen heard her daughter praising her, she quickly covered the upturned corners of her mouth with her sleeves.
Doctor Jiang thought for a moment and understood what Concubine Chen meant.
Empress Chenfei is truly powerful, and her control over people's hearts is even more precise.
"Liusu, take the little princess to the carriage and let her drink milk and sleep!"
The little princess won’t know about the design for now, so that it can be a surprise when the time comes.
"This Zuihelou has two floors. The downstairs is for individual guests, and the upstairs is for private rooms. There's no need for major renovations."
"We can start construction in the next few days. We must complete the renovation before the daily report comes out."
"Leave a row of cabinets downstairs. I'll send the design to the Ministry of Industry and have the craftsmen finish it quickly."
"We need two upstairs here, one on each side."
"A circle needs to be carved out in the middle of the wooden table, which is also easy to do."
The Concubine Chen immediately asked someone to bring out the paper and discussed the design of the restaurant with Doctor Jiang.
"My Lady, what's the meaning of leaving a hole?"
Concubine Chen smiled and said, "It's a secret. Remember to come on the opening day."
Doctor Jiang became more and more curious and replied, "I will definitely come that day."
By the time the two of them finalized the draft, it was almost dusk, with only a sliver of light remaining in the sky.
Only then did the Concubine Chen lead Doctor Jiang out with satisfaction.
"Doctor Jiang, you've worked hard today. I'll take you home."
Unexpectedly, as soon as the two of them walked out of the restaurant, they bumped into several people from the Fang family.
These people obviously looked like they were about to go back home after shopping.
The Concubine Chen sighed in her heart. It seemed that the plot described by the little princess would happen sooner or later. But it didn't matter. She was here today and no one could bully Doctor Jiang.
"Hey, isn't this Jiang Wenjin? Now I have time to go out and visit restaurants."
The person who spoke was Fang Xiumei, the legitimate daughter of Censor Fang.
"You are a man from outside the family, yet you are involved with a woman and even dream of marrying into our Fang family. I tell you, I will never marry you."
"You can't carry it on your shoulders or lift your hands. It's really not that Daddy likes you."
Fang Xiumei didn't give Chen Fei and the other two a chance to speak at all, and immediately shouted loudly. Sure enough, the people around gathered around.
Fang Xiumei had never seen Concubine Chen. The only time she saw her was when she caught a glimpse of her from afar at a flower tea party before she entered the palace.
She just felt that the woman seemed somewhat familiar, and she couldn't think of anything else.
After all, anyone who can get together with Jiang Wenjin is definitely not a powerful person.
Otherwise, why would the Jiang family need to seek marriage alliance with the Fang family?
"You are such an interesting woman. The child is only this old, and you are already so eager to find a gigolo?"
As soon as she said this, the eyes of the people around her became sharp.
"If your husband knew, he would definitely put you in a pig cage."
Jiang Wenjin's face turned from pale to red, and she shouted, "Fang Xiumei, be careful with your words and actions. Don't drag down your entire family."
A few scholars who happened to be coming out of the store were watching this scene with smiles on their faces.
It was obvious that he was waiting to see Fang Xiumei make a fool of herself.
After all, everyone in the store had just witnessed how powerful that lady was.
Fang Xiumei was immediately furious when she saw that several scholars dared to watch her having fun.
"What's going on? You dare to do it but not take responsibility. You two are so ambiguous in the street. Who would believe that there is nothing fishy going on?"
Among the common people, there was someone who had seen the Concubine Chen in the western suburbs. He stepped forward to help explain, but was grabbed by the corner of his clothes by the person next to him.
"Hey, I'm telling you not to go forward. These people are either rich or noble. If they get angry, they'll definitely take it out on us. If you go forward now, you'll be walking into their trap."
"That woman is talking nonsense. It's obvious..."
Just as this person was about to open that person's hand, Liusu beside the Concubine Chen spoke.
"Fang Xiumei, do you know that you need to be responsible for what you say? According to the latest laws of the Great Qin, those who spread rumors are required to write a ten-thousand-word self-criticism after investigation, and then publicly display it at the gate of the government office."
Fang Xiumei saw that the maid beside Concubine Chen accurately said her name.
A hint of surprise flashed through his mind, but then he changed his mind.
She had just introduced her family background, and she was the only legitimate daughter in the Fang family, so it was not difficult to guess.
"You actually know me. You have good eyesight."
"As expected of someone like Jiang Wenjin, you even dare to talk nonsense about the law. When did the Qin Dynasty ever issue such a law? I might as well take you to the government office."
