Chapter 532: Summer Flowers (Part 1)
The eighth day of June in the 23rd year of Zhaohua is a very interesting day.
On this day, peach blossom wine was officially sold in Guangling City, but there was no violent conflict as the people of Guangling City had thought -
The Huo family in Guangling was silent on this day!
Instead of pursuing the launch of Peach Blossom Wine, the Huo family sent Huo Tongpan to the West Market. After congratulating Li Chenan, they also bought hundreds of kilograms of wine!
Huo Chuanming even gave Li Chenan a famous note, saying that the head of the Huo family was hosting a banquet at the house and hoped that Li Chenan could go to Huo House for a drink!
Is this Huo Mansion bowing to Li Chenan?
Even the powerful Huo Mansion cannot afford to provoke the Fish and Dragon Society?
That's for sure!
From now on, whether Li Chenan's peach blossom wine is in the Guangling City market or in the world, the Huo family will no longer be in trouble, and Li Chenan can easily earn a huge amount of money.
As for the final result of Guangling San, it is no longer important. What is important is that a new upstart has risen in Guangling City!
When people looked at Li Chenan again, in addition to the awe, there was also a hint of envy in their eyes.
Some people think that this is Li Chenan's great luck, while others think that Li Chenan is just a puppet who was pushed to the forefront——
This statement is relatively convincing.
Perhaps the Li family’s Minister of Revenue in Kyoto had used some tricks, otherwise how could the unknown Li Chenan become the helmsman of the Fish and Dragon Society!
After further analysis, the Fish and Dragon Society was founded by Prime Minister Ji himself, and Li Wenhou, the Minister of Household Affairs, must be someone close to Prime Minister Ji.
This is what makes the Huo family bow their heads.
After all, the official of the prince's close minister is not that high and his power is not that great. At present, he is not the opponent of Prime Minister Ji or the Minister of Hubu, unless he waits until the prince succeeds to the throne and becomes the emperor.
Now that the Huo family has shown enough goodwill to Li Chenan... I guess that the prince's close minister also has the intention of leaning towards Prime Minister Ji.
There was a lot of gossip among the people, so in one day, Guangling City was filled with rumors.
But no matter what, Li Chenan's image became taller and his peach blossom wine became an instant hit.
It is said that two thousand kilograms of wine were sold out in just a few hours that day.
Because it has the same flavor as Hua Ping Chun, it is only a hundred cents more expensive than Guangling Powder.
In addition, there is another benefit to buying peach blossom stuffing——
This is the wine of the leader of the Ichthyosaurus Club. If I buy his wine, is it equivalent to paying a protection fee to the Ichthyosaur Club? I hope that in the future, Captain Li will not cause trouble for them because of this relationship.
o
But, where has Captain Li gone?
…
…
Li Chenan accepted Huo Chuanming's name card with a smile and agreed to go to Huo Mansion for a banquet in the evening. The two even had a very cordial conversation in front of so many people.
If someone who didn't know about it met them, they would definitely think that these two people were uncles, or that the two families were family friends.
Originally, Li Chenan wanted to have a chat with Huo Chuanming, but unexpectedly, he was called away by Qiu Ju, the maid of the Shang family.
He brought a jar of peach blossom wine and followed Qiu Ju to Peach Blossom Island with Wu Xichen.
Still at Tinglan Waterside Pavilion, still with the familiar sandalwood.
There is also the delicious Mingqian Longjing.
Shang looked at Li Chenan, his old eyes unblinking.
Li Chenan touched his face and asked, "Are there any flowers?"
Shang Di shook his head, "Brother, why are you so high-profile?"
Li Chenan laughed, picked up the cup of Longjing and took a sip, "Actually, I also want to keep a low profile, but my strength doesn't allow it!"
Shang Di was startled, frowning slightly, and suddenly glanced at Wu Xichen, "He doesn't know how dark the Fish and Dragon Society is. Could it be that you don't know either?"
"If he joins that bullshit Fish and Dragon Society, he will definitely become the enemy in the hearts of many people in the world and in the temple!"
"Even the Imperial City Division... Although the Imperial City Division has not yet issued an order to take action against the Ichthyosaur Society, Mr. Changsun has long been dissatisfied with the Ichthyosaur Society... If Prime Minister Ji can cover the sky with one hand now, it is just that Mr. Changsun is still waiting.
An opportunity!"
"Let me ask you, if Mr. Changsun wants to eradicate the Ichthyosaur Society, who do you think will be spared?"
Wu Xichen's eyes widened, "Why is this being blamed on me?"
"Let me ask you, if he didn't have the Ichthyosaur Club brand, do you think he could still be sitting here with all his beard and tail, drinking tea and chatting with you?"
"I'm afraid he has been sacrificed to heaven by the Huo family!"
"As the venerable leader of the Imperial City Department, you keep calling him brother. I also want to ask you, you old man, when hundreds of guards from the Huo family came to the bank of Peach Blossom Creek with the intention of attacking his wine shop.
Where?"
Wu Xichen scolded him, which made Shang Di's old face turn red and white and become speechless.
"I didn't expect that!"
"When you think about it, he's already past his first seven years!"
"...Okay," Shang Di softened, "This is indeed my fault."
He turned to Li Chenan and said, "Remove the Yulonghui brand. Brother, I will leave for Kyoto in the next few days. Brother, I will recommend you to the Imperial City Division. How about that?"
Li Chenan put down the tea cup, "I don't blame my brother for this. After all, no one knows when the Huo family will attack me."
"Besides... I have no intention of returning this brand even after much thought."
"Why? If you can't return it? If you can't return it, give it to me. I'll take it to Kyoto and give it back to the Ichthyosaurus Society!"
"No, you misunderstood me. I think the reputation of this evil person is actually more useful in today's environment!"
Shang Di was stunned and then heard Li Chenan say again:
"The so-called good and evil are relative. If there are too many evil people in this world, formal laws often fail to bring them to justice. Even those who master the law are inherently evil people."
"Kind people hope that the injustice they have suffered will be publicized, but it is difficult for them to do so. On the contrary, evil people act unscrupulously and will not be severely punished by the law, so more and more people will turn from good to evil.
"
"I think this world lacks fairness, and I also think this world lacks justice... Maybe my words are biased, but I still think that justice cannot raise its head now!"
"Because if this country was full of fairness and justice, there would be no Fish and Dragon Society, or even the Imperial City Division!"
"Whether it is the Fish and Dragon Society, the Mirror Division, or a state agency like the Imperial City Division, what they do violates the fairness and strictness of the law!"
"In my view, all sins should be punished under the light of the law, instead of being carried out secretly with the help of the Fish and Dragon Society, the Rei Mirror Division or the Imperial City Division."
"Their existence has transcended the constraints of the law and is above the law. This shows that the evil people in our country do many evil things."
"When night comes, light becomes insignificant."
"When evil prevails, good becomes extremely small."
"I feel... I can stand in the dark night, do more evil things, and maintain the precious light of kindness!"
"I'm actually a person with no pursuits, but if I really get to that point..."
Li Chenan turned his head and looked out the window, showing an extremely deep look, and said leisurely:
"Then let's regard the suspicious eyes of others as ghost fires, and use those ghost fires as candles to light up the night road that I must walk!"
Chapter completed!
