Chapter 685: chance encounter

Views:

Sitting in a remote corner, Li Yi could feel that young master Bai's resentment towards him from three feet away.

After thinking about it, he seemed to understand something.

Before that, he was thinking, although it is necessary for him to travel and attend banquets at home, but with Lin Wanru's temperament, how could he say such a thing to a man

However, if she just wanted to find a shield, everything would make sense.

Li Yi looked at her, but Lin Wanru didn't meet his gaze, and quickly looked away.

She took out a small booklet from her sleeve and said, "I still don't know a little about the method of keeping accounts..."

This is an obvious change of subject. She is so smart that she is almost shrewd. How can she not understand the simple debit and credit bookkeeping for so long? If she sees it, she doesn't say it, so as not to embarrass both of them. Li Yi nodded and said: " I don't understand, let me see..."

Not far away, at a certain table, a young man surnamed Bai looked at a certain place, clenched his fists tightly, and took a deep breath to calm down.

When he saw two people approaching in front of him, a smile appeared on his face, and he stood up to greet them.

"Master Ma, Master Xu, long time no see..."

"Hey, isn't this Mr. Bai..."

"Long time no see, long time no see."

"Okay, go get busy, I'll sit here for a while and eat something."

Li Yi waved his hand, and Lin Wanru, who was a little absent-minded, came back to her senses, nodded and said, "Then I'll go there first."

Watching her leave, Li Yi took a piece of fresh fruit and vegetables from the table. These wines and snacks from the Qian family were well prepared and tasted pretty good.

Except for Lin Wanru, he doesn't know anyone here. Tonight, the people in the manor are like small groups. Those who have business dealings with each other will naturally gather together. There are many, surrounded by one or two people in the innermost place, with smiles on their faces, the people inside should be those well-known wealthy merchants in Fengzhou City.

Boring left and right, he glanced casually, and saw a familiar fat man coming out of a door.

Beside the fat man were two other handsome young men. Li Yi was about to put a piece of preserved fruit into his mouth when his wrist stopped in the air.

"Why are they here?" He murmured, his expression very surprised.

It was surprising enough to meet Zhao Xiuwen here. After all, although he is also in Fengzhou, it is unlikely that he will appear on such an occasion.

But the person next to him seems to be Yang Yanzhou, the number one talent in Qing'an back then

He had dealt with Yang Yanzhou twice before, so he wasn't familiar with each other, but he shouldn't recognize the wrong person.

Reaching out to touch his face, he felt relieved.

People are drifting in the rivers and lakes, and any accidents may happen. It is too important to open a trumpet, otherwise I am afraid that I will be recognized today.

As the two walked out, the surrounding immediately became commotion.

"That is, Mr. Zhao and Mr. Yang? Why are they here?"

"Mr. Zhao and Mr. Yang are His Royal Highness's right-hand men. Qian Caishen and them seem very familiar..."

"What do you think is the reason why the Qian family has flourished in Fengzhou for so many years? If there is no support from the third prince..."

Hearing the whispers of the crowd, Li Yi was stunned, then lowered his head and rubbed the center of his brows.

There is too much information, and he needs to go through it carefully.

Yang Yanzhou, Zhao Xiuwen, and the God of Wealth are all members of the Three Princes of Qi...

Fengzhou is the territory of the third prince Zhao Yi, and his palace is in Fengzhou City.

So, for such a long time, he has been dangling in front of the eyes of the third prince of Qi

Although when he was still in the capital, the third prince paid a special visit and gave him a piece of jade pendant. He said something sincerely, which probably meant that when the state of Jing couldn't get along, he could go to the state of Qi for refuge. He, the two of them have worked side by side and hand in hand to make a great career...

But at present, Li Yi has no such plan.

If he directly revealed his identity, the current situation would naturally be much better, but he was afraid that in the future, he would be controlled by others in everything he did, and the day of returning to Jingguo was even more distant.

If I knew I would run into them here, I shouldn't have come out.

The current situation is not bad. According to Miss Liu's recovery speed, in two or three months, they may be able to set off and go back. Before that, there must be no mistakes.

Having said that, the jade pendant Zhao Yi gave him did not know where to put it in the end. It seemed that Miss Liu Er had gone there that day, and I haven't seen him much since then...

As if thinking of something, Li Yi was stunned.

Not long after, he sighed, the jade pendant he borrowed from Miss Liu Er might never be redeemed again this time.

Even the pawnshop at the beginning can no longer go.

Fortunately, he was wearing a bamboo hat at the time, and the shopkeeper didn't see his appearance, otherwise, he might be in trouble now.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Wanru walked over from the side, saw that something was wrong with him, and asked.

Li Yi pointed and said, "Those two people over there..."

Lin Wanru looked over and said, "You mean Zhao Xiuwen and Yang Yanzhou, they are very well-known in Fengzhou, and Zhao Xiuwen is even known as an example of literati, well-known in the whole country of Qi, it's normal for these people to surround them."

Li Yi looked at her, and asked with some doubts: "Is the third prince of your country of Qi also in Fengzhou?"

Lin Wanru nodded and said, "Fengzhou is the fiefdom of the third prince, and Prince Feng's mansion is in Fengzhou City."

After confirming everything from Lin Wanru's mouth, Li Yi glanced in that direction, saw Zhao Xiuwen and Yang Yanzhou leaving surrounded by everyone, and then looked away.

Seeing that Lin Wanru was also looking in that direction, she asked curiously, "Don't you like Zhao Xiuwen a lot, why don't you go over there?"

Lin Wanru shook her head and said, "I just appreciate his literary talent, not really liking him."

Seeing that there seemed to be some boredom between her brows, Li Yi said, "What did you go to talk about just now, why, didn't the talk go through?"

Lin Wanru shook her head and said, "I don't know why, but the Ma family and the Xu family have increased the price of raw materials by 10%. In Fengzhou City, only the Bai family can provide raw materials for making jewelry. The three of them have cooperated, and the two of them suddenly launched an attack. If you don't want to lose your interests, you can only choose the Bai family... "

"It's just that the Bai family's shadow is very likely behind this matter. After they achieve this goal, they must have other tricks... Once they pin all their hopes on the Bai family, they will definitely be killed in the future." They lead by the nose."

Li Yi looked at her and asked, "Then what are you going to do?"

Lin Wanru shook her head, and said: "There are still a lot of stocks in the store, which can last for a while, and then we can figure out a way."

Li Yi can't help her with this matter, he still has a lot of things to solve, Fengzhou, the third prince, the things in this world are really a coincidence...

The so-called parliament is extremely boring, and the only gain is to learn some important information to him.

Lin Wanru took out the booklet again, picked up a pen from the table, and seemed to be calculating something. After a while, she flipped through the booklet, stood up, and looked around.

"What's the matter, what did you lose?" Li Yi looked at her and asked.

"The piece of paper you used to demonstrate just now." Lin Wanru said something, and saw a bloated fat man not far away picking up something from the ground, and said, "I found it, it's there."

When she was about to walk over there, she stretched out a hand from the side and held her wrist.

"sit down."

Li Yi glanced over there and said in a low voice.

Not far away, the middle-aged fat man held a piece of paper in his hand and looked at it carefully.
