Chapter 190 Imperial envoy, Li Wanshan?

“How clever!”

After hearing what Ah Ji said, Captain Zhao slapped his thigh and smiled: "You guessed it right!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's bodies froze.

Judging from what Captain Zhao said, this imperial envoy really wants to stay in the inn?

"no…"

Thinking of this, Wang Ye frowned.

He looked at Captain Zhao in front of him and asked, "The Imperial Envoy wants to stay at our inn?"

"Can't I live in the government office?"

At this time, Wang Ye was completely helpless.

Jinling City was a large and extensive metropolis, so it was not uncommon for imperial envoys to come and inspect.

However, the arrival of the imperial envoy was so grand that people on the streets were in a panic.

His inn itself makes money from ordinary people and traveling merchants.

If an imperial envoy from the court lived here, he would definitely need guards, not to mention the bailiffs and constables.

With a series of guards standing in his shop, who would dare to come here?

At that time, will I still be able to do this business?

"Hey, Shopkeeper Wang, I know what you're worried about!"

Seeing Wang Ye's expression, Captain Zhao said, "You are worried that the imperial envoy will be too grand, and the guards will scare away the customers and affect your business, right?"

"Don't worry about that!"

"This time, the Imperial Envoy is not as ostentatious as the previous Imperial Envoys. He is dressed simply this time and has specially asked us to keep a low profile and not hold a grand banquet to entertain him!"

"Yeah"

After hearing what Captain Zhao said, Wang Ye was slightly startled and asked, "Is there such an imperial envoy?"

"Can I still lie to you?"

Hearing this, Captain Zhao said, "This time, the imperial envoy is different from the previous ones. He is not only low-key, but also not ostentatious..."

"Not only that, we are not allowed to spread the news that he is staying at the inn."

"And I just asked, and the Imperial Envoy said that as long as the inn is safe, he will give me this amount per day..."

As he said this, Captain Zhao extended a slap.

"Five taels?"

Seeing this, Wang Ye spoke.

"It's fifty taels!"

At this time, Captain Zhao corrected.

!!!

Fifty taels! ?

After hearing what Captain Zhao said, Wang Ye’s eyes widened.

"Captain Zhao, you didn't lie to me, did you?"

At this time, Wang Ye said, "Fifty taels a night, is this an imperial envoy or a sucker?"

Fifty taels per night.

Wang Ye has run a shop for many years, but he has never seen an imperial envoy pay money...

"Why are you being taken advantage of?"

Hearing this, Captain Zhao said sternly: "The Imperial Envoy said that the other conditions of this inn are not important, the most important thing is safety..."

"I think there is no inn in this city that is safer than yours."

"Plus, I often eat noodles here, so I brought him here. Tell me, is this a good thing?"

“It’s a good thing indeed!”

After hearing what Captain Zhao said, Wang Ye nodded and said, "How about I arrange for him to go to Yihong Courtyard to play?"

"Otherwise I won't feel at ease holding this money..."

Hiss! As soon as these words came out, Captain Zhao's face turned serious and he asked, "What are you thinking about?"

"The Imperial Envoy is an honest official, how could he go to such a filthy place like Yihongyuan?"

“Yes, yes, yes…”

Seeing the expression on Captain Zhao's face, Wang Ye said, "I underestimated the Imperial Envoy. The girl from Yihong Courtyard should have taken the initiative to come to the door..."

"Okay..."

After hearing what Wang Ye said, Captain Zhao said, "The Imperial Envoy will be here soon. Get ready. I'll go and greet him!"

As he spoke, Captain Zhao ran towards the door at an extremely fast speed.

"What are you still standing there for?"

Seeing Captain Zhao leave, Wang Ye said to Aji who was standing there in a daze, "Hurry up and have the little girl clean up the upstairs, and then have Chen Chong cook two of her signature dishes. It would be bad if the imperial envoy comes and sees the mess here."

As he said this, Wang Ye kicked Aji in the butt.

"Old money-grubber..."

After being kicked by Wang Ye, Ah Ji said, "He was so reluctant just a moment ago, but now he is so attentive after hearing that I am giving him fifty taels of silver. What a person!"

While muttering, Aji walked towards the backyard.

…

A moment later, Wang Ye and others were waiting quietly in the hall of Zuixianlou.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

At this moment, a man in cloth, led by Captain Zhao, walked quickly into the inn.

Obviously, the man in cloth was the imperial envoy himself.

"Let me introduce to you..."

Arriving in the hall, Captain Zhao opened his mouth and said, "This is the imperial envoy who came to Jinling City to confer rewards and condolences, Li Wanshan, Lord Li!"

"I respectfully welcome Lord Li..."

Seeing this scene, Wang Ye and everyone else were preparing to salute.

"Alright, alright, no need to be polite..."

Without waiting for Wang Ye and the others to finish their words, Li Wanshan waved his hand and said, "Don't be so strict with the rules. Close the doors and windows quickly and don't let anyone see you!"

As soon as these words were spoken, before Wang Ye and others could take any action, Li Wanshan took the initiative to close the doors and windows of the inn.

The behavior is sneaky and even a little vulgar...

???

Seeing this scene, Wang Ye and others stood there in a daze, looking confused.

Is this Li Wanshan really the so-called imperial envoy?

This is clearly a glorious job of rewarding and consoling people.

How come his every move doesn't look like that of an imperial envoy, but instead like that of a thief breaking into a house and picking the lock?

"Captain Zhao, is this the Imperial Envoy?"

While in a daze, Wang Ye pulled Captain Zhao beside him and whispered, "Why are you acting like a thief..."

"Stop talking!"

After hearing Wang Ye's words, Captain Zhao lowered his voice and said, "Master Li, this is for safety. Why don't you hurry up and help?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Wang Ye and Captain Zhao hurried over to close the store door together with the imperial envoy.

After closing the shop door, Li Wanshan sat aside, exhaled, and slowly felt relieved.

Only at this moment did Wang Ye see Li Wanshan clearly.

Although Li Wanshan was dressed in cloth, he was quite tall and strong, and his breathing was quite heavy.

At first glance, he doesn't look like an official appointed by the imperial court, but rather a martial artist.

"Your Excellency..."

Seeing this, Wang Ye stepped forward and said, "We have already prepared the wine and food, and are just waiting for you to eat..."

"Well, food and drinks?"

Hearing this, Li Wanshan's eyes moved and he looked at the dishes on the table next to him: "It looks good, let me taste it!"

As he spoke, Li Wanshan took out a pair of chopsticks from his arms.

The chopsticks are silvery white all over and shiny.

Looking closely, it turned out to be made of pure silver! Silver chopsticks? Seeing this, Wang Ye's heart moved.

There is only one possibility for someone like Li Wanshan to carry silver chopsticks with him.

That is because this person was afraid of being poisoned, so he used silver chopsticks.

In this way, if the food is poisonous, the chopsticks will turn black.

While Wang Ye was thinking secretly, he saw Li Wanshan put his chopsticks in the dish to test it, and after confirming that it had not turned black, he picked up a piece and put it in his mouth...
