"Okay! Thank you, grandpa!" Sheng Zhiyao jumped up happily after hearing this, and then ran to the tavern.

The pub was very lively, and many people gathered at the table.

Sheng Zhiyao attracted a lot of attention as soon as she walked in.

At this time, the old Marquis also got off the carriage and followed Sheng Zhiyao in.

As soon as Sheng Zhiyao walked in, a waiter came up to greet him: "Guests, what would you like to eat?"

"First a jar of Maoxiang wine, and then some side dishes."

"okay!"

After Sheng Zhiyao and the old Marquis sat down, the old Marquis glanced at Sheng Zhiyao and said, "Yao'er, why do I feel that you are particularly interested in this wine?"

"Grandpa, didn't you listen to what the elder brother just said? You and Uncle Li have a try of forty taels of wine and see if that's the case." Sheng Zhiyao said with a smile.

"Yeah, that's fine." Old Marquis nodded.

Soon, the wine was served.

The old Marquis picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine, then a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Huh? Why does this wine taste so much like Moutai? But the taste is different from Moutai?"

When Sheng Zhiyao heard this, she couldn't help being shocked. It seemed that the wine was indeed fake, so the origin of the wine in this store was worth investigating!

Thinking of this, Sheng Zhiyao poured another bowl.

"Uncle Li, you should try it too! Let's see how the wine tastes."

Uncle Li took a sip after hearing this, and then his expression changed: "This...it does taste like Moutai, but it feels like it's mixed with something else."

"Uncle Li, are you sure?"

Butler Li was a little confused, but he picked up the bowl and took a sip, and then nodded affirmatively: "I'm sure, Mr. Hou and I have tasted Moutai once before. This wine does taste like Moutai, but it's just not the same Moutai!"

It turned out to be like this. Sheng Zhiyao knew in his heart that someone must be greedy and use this wine to deceive people. Forty-two bottles of fake wine, this person has a really dark conscience.

"Grandpa, this wine is indeed Maotai, because... I renamed your Maotai wine to Maoxiang wine and sold it in Qingfeng Building in the capital." Sheng Zhiyao looked at the old Marquis and said.

"What?" Old Marquis looked at Sheng Zhiyao in shock.

"Grandpa, calm down first."

The old Marquis took a deep breath and looked at Sheng Zhiyao: "You actually took out my treasured wine and sold it."

"I'm just looking for something to do and make some spare money!" Sheng Zhiyao said coquettishly, holding the old Marquis' arm.

"You kid! How could you hide such a big thing from me!" the old Marquis scolded.

"I'm sorry, grandpa, I was wrong! I will never dare to do it next time." Sheng Zhiyao stuck out her tongue and said.

"If you do something like this again next time, I will punish you severely!" said the old Marquis, feigning anger.

"I know, grandpa, I won't do it again next time!" Sheng Zhiyao promised again and again.

"Okay, now that we know it is fake, we will investigate it carefully when we return to the capital. When the forty taels of fake wine cause trouble, it is not your supplier's problem. But now we still go to the carpenter first.

Bar."

"Yes, Grandpa."

After hearing this, Sheng Zhiyao stood up quickly and walked out the door with the old Marquis. When she walked out of the door, she took a special look at the sign of the tavern. She finally remembered that the sales of Maoxiang Liquor were documented.

Yes, Sheng Zhiyao was afraid that someone would fake the wine, so she registered the information of the person who bought the wine. When she got back, she only had to let Gong Jie secretly observe it for a few days, and she would know who had adulterated the wine and sold it here.

After walking out of the tavern, the three of them went straight to the carpenter's shop.

The shopkeeper of the carpentry shop is a middle-aged man in his thirties and slightly fat.

He was packing up a piece of wood when he saw Sheng Zhiyao and Old Marquis approaching, and immediately put down the tools in his hands and walked over.

"Old Marquis, why are you here?" The carpenter shopkeeper smiled and bent down and joked.

"Shopkeeper Wang, I'm not looking for you this time, it's my granddaughter who wants you to help her make something."

"No problem, are they the same as before?" The carpenter shopkeeper readily agreed.

"It's not Shopkeeper Wang's, but it's almost the same." Sheng Zhiyao looked at Shopkeeper Wang and explained.

"Okay! Let's go over there and sit down and talk!" The carpenter shopkeeper pointed to the table next to him.

The old Marquis nodded and walked to the table side by side with Sheng Zhiyao and sat down.

The shopkeeper poured the tea and sat down: "Miss, do you have any drawings?"

"Yes." Sheng Zhiyao took out the drawings from the space.

The shopkeeper took the drawing and looked at it. At the end, the shopkeeper's face changed and he looked at Sheng Zhiyao in surprise: "Is this drawing yours?"

"Yes, I drew it myself." Sheng Zhiyao explained lightly.

"Miss, these drawings of yours are so amazing! I can guarantee that these drawings can definitely be sold for tens of thousands of taels of silver! Apart from the drawings of the old Marquis, I have never seen anything so exquisite."

Sheng Zhiyao smiled and said: "My drawings are a bit exaggerated, but they are still somewhat real. These drawings are just one of them. There are many others. When I draw them, I will send them to you."

Here you are."

"What else?" The shopkeeper was a little stunned when he heard this, his eyes were shining with excitement and surprise, and his eyes looking at Sheng Zhiyao were full of admiration. He couldn't help but secretly sigh that these two grandsons are simply treasures!

"The production process of these drawings is very demanding, and ordinary carpenters cannot do it."

"That's right, it's worth it for me to see the drawings of Mr. Marquis and Miss in my lifetime, but the price of making these drawings will probably not be cheap."

"Don't worry, shopkeeper. You try to use good materials to make it. After all, it will last a long time. If you do it well, I will still have many things that I need to ask you for later."

"Don't worry, miss, I will do my best to make it."

The shopkeeper put the drawings given by Sheng Zhiyao into his arms, then stood up and prepared to arrange other processes.

At this time, Sheng Zhiyao took out the banknote she had on her and handed it to him and said, "Shopkeeper Wang, this is my deposit. I will pay the balance when I come to pick up the goods."

"Okay, no problem." The shopkeeper agreed repeatedly.

"Also, Shopkeeper Wang has the old rule of keeping it secret!"

"Yes, of course! Please rest assured, Mr. Marquis and Miss."

Sheng Zhiyao discussed the details on the drawing with Shopkeeper Wang and left soon after.

After coming out of the carpenter's shop, the old Marquis saw that it was already getting late, so he said to Sheng Zhiyao: "Zhiyao, let's hurry up to avoid any mishaps on the road."

"Okay." Sheng Zhiyao nodded, and then they walked out of the village, got on the carriage and drove towards the capital.

Capital City, Imperial Palace.

The emperor was reviewing the memorial in the imperial study, and Eunuch Cui walked in.

"Your Majesty! Today, Old Marquis Sheng and Princess Yongchen left the city. Outside the city, the carriage was stopped by the killers of Heishamen."

After hearing this, the emperor put down his pen and looked up at Eunuch Cui: "Now? Why are you reporting now? How are they doing now?"

Eunuch Cui replied respectfully: "Back to the emperor, you and Prime Minister Qi have been discussing things before, so I came to report to you now. Lord Sheng and the princess are fine for the time being."

The emperor was relieved after hearing this: "For now? Then where are they now?"

"Back to the emperor, we are on our way back to the city now."

"Okay, I understand, let's go down."

"Slave obeys the order!"

"Wait a minute!" The emperor suddenly called out to Eunuch Cui.

Eunuch Cui stopped and turned around to look at the emperor, respectfully waiting for orders.

The emperor thought for a moment, and then ordered: "Send someone to protect them secretly, and don't let any accidents happen to them!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Get down!"

After Eunuch Cui stepped back, the emperor frowned.

He didn't expect that someone would hire an assassin to assassinate Sheng Zhiyao in broad daylight. It seemed that those people couldn't wait to kill Sheng Zhiyao.
