Chapter 213 When will you teach the little princess a lesson?
"Greetings to the Prince and Princess. They have suffered a lot along the way." As soon as he stepped into the No. 1 room of Mingyue Restaurant, the shopkeeper knelt down with his face full of excitement and heartache.
Ji Xiaohan became much more "friendly" to his people and said, "Get up, stop crying to me and get up and answer me properly."
The shopkeeper's face froze from his tears. He stole a few glances at his master, and seeing that he didn't seem to be blaming him, he thanked him and stood up, hunching his shoulders as he casually flattered him, "Yes, master, you are still so wise. You can tell at a glance that I am just putting on airs again. You are worthy of being your master."
Just now, Su Wanyan was at the door of the restaurant and saw the shopkeeper's arrogant and profiteer face. She thought he was a cold and aloof man like Ji Xiaohan, but it turned out that he was actually a funny guy.
"Have you found out what I asked you to investigate?" Ji Xiaohan didn't even give a perfunctory sneer, but simply asked about the business.
Obviously, he had seen the shopkeeper's playful and frivolous appearance many times.
Now that the conversation was settled, the shopkeeper dared not continue his idle chatter. He dropped his nonchalant expression and said seriously, "Master, we have investigated and found that, in the entire city of Quanzhou, with the exception of the prefect Qiu Mingyuan, who is not the emperor's servant, all the officials under him have had private ties with officials in the imperial city over the past year. These people are using the excuse of giving gifts and showing filial piety. Please review the contents of the correspondence."
After saying that, he took out a thick stack of papers from his sleeve, which recorded in detail the personal relationships of each official in the past year.
The owner of the Mingyue Restaurant in Quanzhou is named Long Gao, who was transferred from the army by Ji Xiaohan.
Long Gao was once the leader of Ji Xiaohan's personal guards. Not only was he highly skilled in fighting, he was also quite talented in business. Later, when he was protecting Prince Xiao, he was shot in the heart and lungs by a poisonous arrow. He managed to save his life with great difficulty, but lost most of his skills.
Later, he was sent to Quanzhou by Ji Xiaohan. On the surface, he was the owner of Mingyue Restaurant, but secretly he had been expanding the power of An Ge. This man was full of rebelliousness, but he was willing to follow King Xiao until death.
"Yeah." Ji Xiaohan picked up the record book and looked through it carefully. The man's expression remained consistent regarding the things recorded therein.
Su Wanyan was curious and tilted her head to take a look. Before she had read a few messages, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. "These people are really blatantly seeking death."
Ji Xiaohan remained noncommittal. "It was only with their efforts that I was able to gain the leverage I have now. These people are the first great gift I gave to Ji Yueze."
After following them in, Xiao Wu, who had been standing aside, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard his master's words.
Master, have you forgotten those assassins who were skinned and stripped of their tendons by our secret guards and sent to the dog emperor’s palace?
They were all made into human skin lanterns and hung in the corridor of the dog emperor's imperial study. Isn't that a great gift?
Please don't pick out nice things to say to the little princess just because she is here. Otherwise, when will you teach her bad habits and make her go along with us?
Xiao Wu didn't know what earth-shattering task her Xiao Shiliu was sent out to do. If she knew, she would have realized that their little princess had actually been in cahoots with them for a long time.
In fact, if Ji Xiaohan hadn't nodded, their little princess would have planned to carry a grenade to blow up the dog emperor's palace.
