After hearing Aji's words, Capt. Zhao patted his thigh and showed a smile: "You'll win with one guess!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's bodies froze.
Judging from Capt. Zhao’s intentions, does this imperial envoy really want to stay in an inn?
"no…"
Thinking of this, Wang Ye frowned.
He looked at Capt. Zhao in front of him and said, "The imperial envoy wants to stay in our inn?"
"Can't we live in the government office?"
At this time, Wang Ye was completely helpless.
Jinling City is the capital city, so it is not uncommon for imperial envoys to come here for inspections.
It's just that the imperial envoy's arrival was so grand that it made people in the streets panic.
His inn itself earned money from ordinary people and traveling businessmen.
If an imperial envoy from the imperial court lived here, let alone the government officials and police officers, there would always be a guard.
With a series of guards swarming his shop, who would dare to come here?
By then, will you still be able to run your own business?
"Hi, Shopkeeper Wang, I understand your concerns!"
Looking at Wang Ye's expression, Capt. Zhao said, "Are you afraid that the imperial envoy's ostentation will be too grand and that the escort officials will scare away the guests and affect your business?"
"Don't worry about this!"
"The imperial envoy this time is not as ostentatious as the previous imperial envoys. He dresses simply. He also specially arranged for us to keep a low profile and be simple, and not to entertain him with a big banquet!"
"Yeah"
After hearing Capt. Zhao's words, Wang Ye was slightly startled and said, "Is there such an imperial envoy?"
"Can I still lie to you?"
Hearing this, Capt. Zhao said: "The imperial envoy this time is different from the previous ones. Not only is he low-key, but he also doesn't like to show off..."
"Not only that, we are not allowed to publicize his stay at the inn."
"And I asked just now. The imperial envoy said that as long as the inn is safe, I will give you this amount per day..."
As he said that, Capt. Zhao stretched out a slap in the face.
"Five taels?"
Seeing this, Wang Ye opened his mouth and said.
"It's fifty taels!"
At this time, Zhao Captou corrected him.
!!!
Fifty taels!?
After hearing Capt. Zhao's words, Wang Ye's eyes widened.
"Captain Zhao, you didn't deceive me, did you?"
At this time, Wang Ye said: "Fifty taels a night, is this an imperial envoy or someone who has been taken advantage of?"
One night's stay costs fifty taels.
Wang Ye has been running a shop for many years, but he has never seen the imperial envoy give money...
"Why are you taking advantage of me?"
Hearing this, Capt. Zhao said seriously: "The Imperial Envoy said that other conditions of this inn don't matter, the main thing is safety..."
"When I think about it, there is no inn in the city that is safer than yours."
"In addition, I often come to your place to eat noodles, so I brought him here. Do you think this is a good thing?"
"It's indeed a good thing!"
After hearing Capt. Zhao's words, Wang Ye nodded: "How about I arrange for him to be taken to Yihongyuan to play?"
"Otherwise I won't be able to hold on to the money safely..."
hiss!
As soon as he said this, Capt. Zhao's face turned serious and he said, "What are you thinking about?"
"The Imperial Envoy is a clean and upright official. How can he go to a filthy and dusty place like Yihongyuan?"
"Yes Yes Yes…"
Looking at Capt. Zhao's face, Wang Ye said: "I thought the imperial envoy was superficial. The girl from Yihongyuan should take the initiative to come to your door..."
"okay…"
After hearing Wang Ye's words, Capt. Zhao said: "The imperial envoy will be here soon. You all are ready. I will go and greet him!"
With that said, Capt. Zhao ran towards the door at an extremely fast speed.
"What are you still doing?"
Seeing Capt. Zhao leave, Wang Ye said to Aji who was standing aside, "Quickly let the little girl Pianzi clean up the upstairs, and let Chen Chong cook two special dishes. The imperial envoy will come to take a look soon."
How messy is this place?"
As he said this, Wang Ye also kicked Aji's ass.
"Old money fan..."
After being kicked by Wang Ye, Aji said: "I looked so reluctant just a moment ago, but I'm so attentive when I heard that I was given fifty taels of silver. What the hell!"
While muttering, Aji walked towards the backyard.
…
After a while, Wang Ye and others waited quietly in the lobby of Zuixian Tower.
At this moment, a man in civilian clothes and led by Capt. Zhao quickly walked into the inn.
Obviously, this man in civilian clothes is the imperial envoy himself.
"Let me introduce to you..."
Arriving in the hall, Zhao Captou said: "This is the imperial envoy who came to our Jinling City to offer condolences, Li Wanshan, Mr. Li!"
"The common people respectfully welcome Mr. Li..."
Seeing this scene, Wang Ye and everyone were preparing to salute.
"Okay, okay, no gifts, no gifts..."
Before Wang Ye and others could finish speaking, Li Wanshan waved his hand and said, "No more rules. Hurry up and close the doors and windows. Don't let others see!"
As soon as he said this, before Wang Ye and others could take action, Li Wanshan took the initiative to close the doors and windows of the inn.
His behavior is sneaky, even a little bit vulgar...
???
Seeing this scene, Wang Ye and others froze on the spot, looking confused.
Is this Li Wanshan really the so-called imperial envoy?
This is obviously a prestigious job of offering rewards and condolences.
How come every move he makes doesn't look like an imperial envoy, but like a thief who sneaks in and picks the lock?
"Captain Zhao, is this the Imperial Envoy?"
At the same time, Wang Ye tugged at Mr. Zhao's head and whispered: "Why do you act like a thief..."
"Say less, please!"
After hearing Wang Ye's words, Capt. 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 came out, Wang Ye and Zhao Captou hurried up and closed the store together with the imperial envoy.
After closing the store door, Li Wanshan sat aside, exhaled, and slowly felt relieved.
Only then did Wang Ye see Li Wanshan clearly.
Although Li Wanshan was dressed in cloth, his body was quite tall and strong, and his breathing was quite heavy.
At first glance, he doesn't look like a court official, but rather a martial arts practitioner.
"Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy..."
Seeing this, Wang Ye took a step forward and said, "I have already prepared the wine and food, and I am just waiting for you to have your meal..."
"Well, food and drinks?"
Hearing this, Li Wanshan's eyes moved and he looked at the dishes on the table beside him: "It looks good, let me try how it tastes!"
As he spoke, Li Wanshan took out a pair of chopsticks from his arms.
These chopsticks are all silver-white and shiny.
If you look closely, you will see that it is actually made of sterling silver!
Silver chopsticks?
Seeing this, Wang Ye's heart skipped a beat.
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 testing the chopsticks in the dish, and after confirming that it had not turned black, he picked up a piece and put it in his mouth...
