Xie Yunxiao danced with the sword in the snow for an hour. When he finally calmed down, it was almost dawn, so he simply didn't continue sleeping.
After tidying up, he greeted his parents, had breakfast together, and sent his father off to the military camp, he waited obediently at home for Bai Chi to come and see him off.
At this time, Bai Chi had just finished breakfast, but did not go out. He just leaned on the couch and listened to his subordinates' investigation of Boss Liu.
Boss Liu’s full name is Liu Quan. He has a wife and a daughter. He was originally just an ordinary small merchant. His family sold dim sum, but their craftsmanship was not very good.
However, according to neighbors, although the dim sum made by Boss Liu is average, the price is cheap and he has no problem supporting his family. His wife also helps the cloth shop embroider handkerchiefs and purses, and the family lives in harmony.
However, at the beginning of this year, Boss Liu got up at night and fell in the yard. After waking up, his temperament suddenly changed. He beat and scolded his wife and daughter at every turn, and this lasted for more than half a month.
For more than half a month, Liu Quan beat and scolded his wife and daughter every day, stopped doing business, and became addicted to alcohol, even though he never drank before.
Half a month later, all the money at home was gone, so he started running his own dim sum shop again.
However, the dim sum I made this time was very different from before, with all kinds of novel styles. I can’t tell whether they tasted good or not, but at least the styles were new to me and very beautiful.
His pastry shop soon became famous and began to grow bigger and stronger, while his wife and daughter were left in their original house. Apart from receiving some silver money sent to them every month for their living, he never went back and did not allow his wife and daughter to visit them.
As for himself, after making money, he bought a house elsewhere and often indulged in prostitutes. If he were not of low status, he would have taken a concubine.
Merchants were of low status, and their children could not even take the imperial examinations. It was against the law for them to take concubines.
But he obviously disliked his wife and daughter, so he didn't go home.
However, his pastry shop grew bigger and bigger and quickly became famous in the capital.
In June and July of this year, Liu Quan went up the mountain to pick a lot of wild grapes. At that time, no one knew what he was going to do. As a result, Liu Quan first introduced grape sauce for dipping. Whether it is used as a snack or dipped in steamed buns, it is delicious. The key point is that no one has ever seen it before.
Not long ago, it launched a wine that is comparable to the fine wines from the Western Regions and made a fortune.
But at the same time, he has now been targeted by someone. If there is no one behind him, the wine recipe will probably become someone else's soon.
"Your Highness, this is the information we have gathered. I have confirmed that this Liu Quan is indeed himself. He is not in disguise, nor is he wearing a mask."
When Prince Xian just left the palace, out of curiosity, he asked someone to do a quick check on Liu Quan's identity, but no one took it seriously.
Bai Chi narrowed his eyes and listened to the end, then asked: "Who does he want to find as a backer now?"
"I've learned that he's currently inquiring about the prince's preferences, and he's also spreading the word that his family has specially stored several jars of better-tasting, more mellow wine."
This means he is preparing to surrender to Prince Xian. After all, although Prince Xian has not been to Liu's shop during this period, he has eaten a lot of their snacks and drank a lot of wine in Yunyan Tower.
Bai Chi was not surprised at all, after all, this was Liu Quan's purpose.
After thinking for a moment, he waved his hand and said, "Send someone to Lord Xie's residence to tell the general that I caught a cold last night and am feeling unwell today. Please come and see him in a few days."
The guard took the order and left, and Xiao Hei asked curiously.
"Master, you're not going to look for him?"
Bai Chi was paralyzed and motionless: "This is called playing hard to get. It's been two days. Even if he is stupid, he should have come to his senses. Besides, I've given him an excuse. If he doesn't do it himself, he will."
He snorted and said, "If you don't come, let's see who can hold back longer!"
Anyway, he can still watch Xiao Hei's screen projection every day. Not to mention swordplay and gun practice, he can even watch him taking off clothes and taking a bath!
On the other hand, if Xie Yunxiao had not come to Prince Xian’s mansion, he wouldn’t have been able to see even a single hair of Bai Chi.
Xiao Hei stretched out his kitten paw, and a small nail popped out with a "biu" sound, which served as his thumb.
"Master is still awesome!"
Bai Chi raised his chin slightly, quite proudly, then frowned slightly and looked at Xie Yunxiao on the projection screen.
When he woke up in the morning, Xiao Hei sent him the video of Xie Yunxiao practicing sword in the middle of the night.
He is covered in snow, his clothes are as black as ink, his body is light, but his sword skills are murderous.
Bai Chi looked up for a long time before stopping at Xiao Hei's reminder, but he was a little worried.
There is such thick snow in the middle of winter. You are practicing swordplay outside in just a thin layer of clothing. Don't catch a cold.
Fortunately, I later saw that Xie Yunxiao was in high spirits, so I felt a little relieved.
But at this moment, looking at Xie Yunxiao who was pacing in the yard, obviously absent-minded, and even sneezed twice, Bai Chi frowned slightly.
Could it be that he really guessed it right?
But his thoughts were immediately interrupted by Xiao Hei's voice.
"Master, what should we do with Liu Quan now? Should we ask him to deliver the wine first, pretend to be his patron, and then trick him into giving us information?"
Xiao Hei still remembered his master's plan, which was to trick Liu Quan into giving him some information about grain that would be known to later generations.
But at this moment Bai Chi shook his head.
"No, I've changed my mind. It would be too slow to trick him out, and who knows if he'll cling to the secret and refuse to tell anything in order to murder his brother. That would be a waste of time."
Xiao Hei was puzzled: "Huh? What should I do then?"
Bai Chi sneered: "How can deception be faster than forced confession?"
'Forced confession?'
"Yes, I have already sent people to keep an eye on Liu Quan. The real Liu Quan probably died that night. In other words, this eldest brother is a resurrection from the dead."
Everyone has his or her own spiritual power, or soul power.
He had already checked when the guard reported the news just now, and found that there was only one spiritual power in Liu Quan's body.
If this is the eldest prince who was beheaded for forcing the emperor to abdicate, then the real Liu Quan will be gone tomorrow.
"Since innocent people won't be implicated, why bother using force over courtesy? Wait until I find an excuse, then arrest the person and torture him."
"No, we're going to have the Crown Prince tortured to extract a confession. That way, we can get everything he knows, whether it's about his time traveling to the future, food optimization, edible crops, etc.."
Since he has been in the afterlife for a full ten years and has learned so many skills in making snacks, he must know a lot.
As long as the news about his time travel is found, the prince will probably not mind accepting this great achievement that will benefit the world.
Xiao Hei also understood: "Wow, Master, you are so awesome! I don't even have to do it myself!"
While Xiao Hei was flattering the master, the butler was already leading the hurried Xie Yunxiao to the main courtyard.
