Chapter 20: The Four in Beijing Are Sitting at the Same Table
Sang Zhi nodded, his tense little face looking a little lonely.
Sang Yan was a little anxious, but he didn't notice his expression. After giving several instructions, he hurried out of Changyang Palace.
The most lively place in Kyoto City is Xianrenzui. The whole restaurant is very large, with five floors. The higher you go, the richer and more noble the people are.
The restaurant's dishes are excellent, and the most praised one is the restaurant's signature dish, "Xianrenzui", which is worth a thousand gold coins for a pot.
It was noon at this time, and there were many people eating on the first floor. The appearance of Qianfanji, Zhanchi and Gu Shuo caused quite a stir.
Several of them are outstanding in appearance and have distinguished identities, so many people naturally recognize them.
"Am I seeing things right? The young master of the Zhan family, the minister, and Boss Gu are actually coming to the restaurant for dinner together?"
"Oh my, it's really them. What's going on?"
"The three most incompatible people in Beijing are actually sitting at the same table..."
Anyone who has been in Kyoto for many years knows that there are four different groups in the capital, so it is really surprising to see these people appear at the same time.
In the private room on the fourth floor, Sang Yan had been waiting for a long time. During this time, he carefully recalled the scene in Nanyuan. At that time, Zhan Chi went to look for the jade pendant, and later they got separated.
When they reunited, Zhan Chi, Qian Fan Ji and the other three were all seriously injured and were sent out of Fuhua Cave. He still doesn't know who sent them back.
Their answers were vague at the time and no further questions were asked afterwards.
"Your Highness, everyone is here." There was a knock on the door.
"Come in." Sang Yan withdrew his thoughts.
Several people entered the private room and saluted Sang Yan.
"There are no outsiders here, no need to be like this, just sit down." Sang Yan's eyes swept across the faces of the three people one by one.
Zhan Chi and his companions sat down.
Today, they all knew the reason clearly, so no one spoke first after they sat down.
Sang Yan looked around and saw that no one spoke, so he raised his hand, took out the jade pendant from his arms, and placed it in the middle of the table.
"An old man came to the Changyang Palace and told the children that he was looking for his relatives. This jade pendant is a token of trust. What do you think?"
When Zhan Chi saw the jade pendant, he was furious and his face looked extremely ugly.
Qian Fanji is known for his good temper, but his expression was not very good at this moment, and Ruyu's face looked a little pale.
"The jade pendant was lost that year, and maybe someone picked it up. Now they just want to blackmail me." Gu Shuo seemed quite calm.
"Before her mother passed away, she said that the child's father was a nobleman in the Beili Imperial City. This jade pendant was discovered by my father when he was traveling. If I didn't know the origin of the jade pendant in advance, I would never have guessed that it was from Beili." Sang Yan already had some guesses in his mind.
"In this case, there must be someone behind this. Your Highness must investigate thoroughly." Gu Shuo remained calm and spoke in a somewhat lazy tone.
"That's right, if I find out, I will skin him alive." Zhan Chi was furious.
Thousands of sails are silent.
Sang Yan was not in a hurry and said, "The five of us grew up together and have similar aspirations. We often drink and chat together, discussing life. We all yearn to travel the world in fine clothes, galloping on horses and wielding swords, so we went to Nanyuan together."
As they listened to Sang Yan's story, there were some strange expressions on their faces. Back then, they had traveled the world together. If it weren't for the incident in Nanyuan, that should have been the time when they were most unrestrained and free.
Gu Shuo held the cup and played with it leisurely.
He felt that the matter of the child had nothing to do with his money. A girl, oh, his Gu family couldn't give birth to a girl.
