The restaurant is called Heyue Restaurant, and it is one of the few places in Luoyang that sells Wei's fine wine.
Therefore, the business of this restaurant is not generally good. Many dignitaries, or young masters from aristocratic families, are proud to be able to book a table during the peak period.
This is the case for the young master standing at the door of the restaurant. He spent a lot of money today to entertain the pretty lady around him.
"Little lady, come in quickly, it's very cold outside." The young master put his hands in his sleeves and breathed out white mist.
Nightmare Niang looked at him charmingly with her exotic eyes, boldly stretched out her hand to hold Young Master's hand, and said angrily: "Oh, Young Master's hands are so cold, please help me cover them."
At this moment, from a high position, Young Master can just see two pieces of white snow forming a ravine in front of his eyes.
"Gulu~ The little lady is interested. My hands are indeed cold, but there are many people here. Why don't we go to the private room on the second floor? It won't be too late for you to warm my hands and feet by then."
There was a stern look in the eyes of the Nightmare Mother, but a charming and shy look on her face. She leaned against the Young Master and exhaled, "Everyone in the slave family will do what the Young Master does."
The young master happily went upstairs with his arms around the "beautiful lady", completely unaware that this woman was seven or eight years older than his own mother.

"Brother Xu, is that woman the temptress in your mouth?"
"There is indeed a problem. If you bare your breasts in the winter, you are not a good person at first glance." Cai Heng curled his lips and said.
Xu Shu and Sima Yi said solemnly: "This person's name is Zhang Yan. She has a son, so I must be familiar with him."
Sima Yi was startled for a moment, then recalled and said, "But Zhang Lu from the Five Pecks of Rice Sect?"
Xu Shu looked at the two people who disappeared into the restaurant, nodded and said: "Yes, it is this person... I don't know why this woman suddenly came to Luoyang. When we were traveling in Yizhou, we suffered a lot from her.
This woman has a vicious mind and is very scary."
While Xu Shu was frowning and thinking.
Suddenly, a group of city guards surrounded the restaurant.
"That's Liu Fan, the eldest son of Liu Yan in Yizhou?" Xu Shu's expression changed, and he already had a guess in his mind.
At this time, the movement in the restaurant naturally attracted the attention of many people, and Xu Shu and three others took the opportunity to surround them.
Liu Fan was dressed in a rich and luxurious outfit. He pointed at the restaurant angrily and said, "That's right here. That scoundrel is in there."
The captain of the city guard who led the team frowned and said: "Mr. Liu, are you sure that man kidnapped your concubine by force?"
Liu Fan asked with a gloomy face: "What, am I going to use my reputation to tease you?"
The team leader hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "Sorry, that's not what I meant. It's just that if anything happens in the city, we will receive the news as soon as possible. You..."
When Liu Fan heard this, his expression changed, and he shouted sternly: "You can't save anyone, because if something happens to my concubine, you city guards will not be able to escape the blame."
A woman was kidnapped in the street, and the woman might be being violated. The team leader did not dare to neglect and quickly ordered people to go and get the woman.
Not long after, the young master, who was still high-spirited just now, was taken down by the city guards.
Following closely behind her was a beautiful woman in disheveled clothes. She looked like she had just been bullied. There were not only a few slap marks on her face, but also large bruises in the shape of five fingers on her neck and chest.
When the nightmare mother saw Liu Fan, she rushed towards him with tears in her eyes, pointing at the young master, "Da Lang, you have to make the decision for the slave family."
The young master was a little stupid at this time. He was also disheveled, and even his lower body was only covered by the hem of his clothes. He was not wearing any trousers underneath, and his two hairy legs were trembling in the wind.
Hearing Nightmare Niang's cry, he instinctively wanted to refute, but for some reason, he opened his mouth several times, but no sound came out.
Compared with being framed, the sudden loss of voice made him feel more desperate, and he kept struggling.
When the city guards saw this, they would not get used to such a person.
Moreover, when the two of them went up, this guy was indeed doing something "unruly". If they hadn't arrived in time, the delicate and beautiful woman would have been in danger.
With a 'bang' palm, the city guard knocked the young master out.
"Captain, this guy is dishonest. He should be taken to the guard station for questioning."
After hearing this, the squad leader looked at the 'miserable' victim, especially the ferocious finger prints on the snow-white chest, and he had already confirmed the young master's crime in his heart.
"Take him back, you son of a bitch, you dare to openly behave like an animal in broad daylight. You don't even care about our city guard."
···
in the crowd.
Xu Shu and the three of them looked at each other.
Sima Yi sneered and said: "Interesting, interesting, this woman has such a vicious mind, if she really succeeds, this person will be dead. Master, he hates this kind of criminals the most."
Cai Heng scratched his head and asked curiously: "No, that woman just took the initiative to throw herself into my arms. Why didn't that person defend herself?"
Xu Shu sneered and said: "It's not that he doesn't defend himself, it's that he can't speak at all. That witch is good at using many poisons, including drugs that can make people mute. I think that person's throat must have been destroyed."
When Sima Yi heard this, his eyes lit up and he felt that the door to a new world had opened.
Xu Shu hurriedly said: "There may be something fishy about this matter. You two wise brothers, please go back first. I will go to the guardhouse and investigate secretly. Liu Fan and the temptress have designed to frame someone like this. There must be a bigger conspiracy. I
I have to go find out."
Sima Yi looked at Cai Heng and said bluntly: "You can go back by yourself, Brother Xu and I will join in the fun."
Cai Heng looked at Xu Shu, then at Sima Yi, hailed a carriage, and said with a smile: "Well, you go ahead, I will go see my brother-in-law soon and inform him of this matter. I think the secret guards must be investigating.
The speed will not be slower than yours."
Sima Yi frowned and said, "How can I nag Master about trivial matters?"
Xu Shu looked at the shameless Cai Heng and said angrily: "Forget it, you can come too."
Cai Heng smiled and jumped on the carriage first, and the three of them followed the city guards directly to the guard post.
···
As evening approached, Xu Shu and the others had already obtained the news they wanted.
It turned out that the young master was from the Kong clan, and his father Kong Chen was the brother of Kong Rong, the governor of Beihai.
The reason why Liu Fan framed Mr. Kong this time was because he wanted a mountain in the hands of his father Kong Chen.
This mountain is not near Luoyang, but far away in Donglai County, Qingzhou. It is called Lao Mountain and also called Laoshan Mountain.
Kong Chen didn't know why. It was just a hilltop by the sea. It was not worth mentioning to Kong. If he could save his son's life, he would give it to him. As long as Liu Fan did not sue his son, everything else was not important.
.
Liu Fan took the land deed documents and looked at each other with a satisfied smile, "I didn't expect the plan to go so smoothly."
Nightmare Niang wiped off the 'scar' on her chest, raised her collar, and said: "With this land deed, we can purchase a large amount of Lei Zhenzi from the Wei family in the name of mining iron ore. Even if we don't have that smelly
Girl, we can also blow open the stone gate in the sea."
"Is there really an elixir of life in this world?"
"Of course, the slave's beauty is the best proof, isn't it?"
Liu Fan couldn't help but breathe a little faster. He glanced at Nightmare Niang, especially the chest with several finger prints. His eyes were full of greed and desire. He came closer and took a deep breath and said: "Then we will live forever together."
I will never grow old until the sea is dry and the stone is rotten."
The Nightmare Mother hugged him tightly and said with a smile: "I want to do that too, but the master is still here."
Liu Fan leaned against the soft flesh and replied with cold eyes: "The old guy won't survive this winter."
···
It's quiet at night.
Cai's Mansion.
After paying homage to Cai Yong, Xu Shu and the three of them got together again.
They took out the Map of Mountains and Seas of the Han Dynasty and fell into deep thought while looking at Mount Laoshan, which is located on the coast of the East China Sea.
Cai Heng said: "This place is very close to the Japanese island. Do you think they want to attack the Japanese island?"
When Sima Yi heard this, he thought it was possible, but he immediately denied it: "No, even if Liu Yan of Yizhou really wanted to expand his territory and make marquises and worship the prime minister, he would have gone south. Otherwise, he would have gone west. The Qiang people
There is still a large area of land that has not been conquered.”
"Why could that be?" Cai Heng curled his lips and muttered.
Xu Shu crossed his chest with one hand and held his chin with the other, staring intently at Qingzhou, equally confused.
"Is it really just for that little mineral resource? It seems that no important mineral resources have been discovered in Laoshan Mountain?"
"It's impossible. In terms of mining resources, Yizhou is much richer than Qingzhou. Why would he choose to go far away?"
Xu Shu and the others did not believe that there was any iron ore in Laoshan. The reason why they were so sure was because Wei Cheng had already marked all the locations where iron ore could be collected in the Han Dynasty. Among them, there was only one place in Qingzhou, but it was not in Donglai.
county.
Just when the three of them were at a loss what to do.
Suddenly a girl in the side room next to the study said softly: "It is said that when Xu Fu went to sea for the second time to seek elixir, he stayed in Laoshan for several years. According to folklore, the First Emperor may have asked for this place."
The ultimate elixir."
Xu Shu and Sima Yi were startled by the sudden female voice.
But Cai Heng's eyes lit up, he opened the partition and said in surprise: "Second sister, why are you here?"
The speaker was none other than Cai Yan's sister, Xiaozhenji Cai Jue. She was seen sitting on the soft couch, holding a roll of bamboo slips in her hand and looking at it.
Seeing his younger brother pull open the partition, he blushed and bowed to Xu Shu and Sima Yi.
This was the first time Xu Shu saw Cai Jue. He was so shocked that he was about to return the favor... Sima Yi interrupted and said, "Where did you get the information that the second sister just said?"
Cai Jue was stunned and responded: "I should have seen it in the collection of books in my hometown's study. It seemed to be the cultivation notes left by a Taoist named Bai. Laoshan Mountain was mentioned a total of fifty-three times in it. It seemed to be very important to him.
very important."
"Are you sure?" Sima Yi asked.
Cai Heng put his hands on his hips to protect his sister in displeasure and said, "Brother Yi, my second sister has a photographic memory. If she says she has it, she must have it."
Xu Shu and Sima Yi glanced at the shy Cai Jue, then looked at each other and smiled at the same time.
"Well, thank you second sister for clearing up our doubts. I already know what they want."
