After rebirth, I became the richest man in the capital

Chapter 169
With the shopkeeper's hands behind his back, he sighed regretfully.

"Hou Ye is gone, the Princess is afraid that he will lose his backing. The old man can't help but feel worried about the 'gathering diners'! In the future, on this street, I'm afraid it will still be a little worse than my 'Fan Zhai' Confidence, if someone comes to make some troubles, it is inevitable. If the 'Ju Di Ke' is really powerless in treating customers in the future, 'Fan Zhai' doesn't mind helping out."

What he said clearly stated that Meng De was dead, Meng Liangchen had no backer, and the imperial court did not show mercy to Meng De's death, so the Hou Mansion might be defeated.

Shopkeeper He's voice was not low, and most of the guests on the first floor could hear it clearly, and everyone's faces turned ugly.

Shopkeeper He's words are probably not only addressed to the "Ju Di Ke" people, but also to them. It is obvious that he is telling them that if they come to "Ju Di Ke" for dinner in the future, they must think carefully and offend "Fan Zhai" "The people behind it.

Uncle Quan sneered, and said: "Don't bother shopkeeper He, our princess is the eternal backer of 'Judianke', even if Lord Hou is really gone, there is still a son. Shopkeeper He is talking nonsense at this time, uttering wild words, I'm afraid it's too early!"

Shopkeeper He also snorted coldly, thinking that Uncle Quan was being stubborn.

"How long can a skinny camel last? I really want to see!"

At this time, Tian Jiao's voice suddenly came down from upstairs: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, a rascal!"

Shopkeeper He looked up, and his face changed: "You brat! How dare you speak wild words!"

He almost lost his temper because of Tian Jiao's "troublemaker"!

Tian Jiao's face was condensed, and she suddenly raised her voice and said: "Come here! This troublemaker has spoken disrespectfully to the prince and the princess, and despised the imperial power! According to Damu's law, arrest this troublemaker on the spot and put him in prison!"

Shopkeeper He's face changed drastically in an instant. He looked at the guards who appeared out of nowhere following Tian Jiao's words, and finally panicked.

"Why are you a stinky girl!"

Tian Jiao stood on the steps and looked at shopkeeper He from top to bottom, with a cool look in her eyes.

Tian Jiao's face was calm, and she said indifferently: "Before the first prince led the army to go out, he ordered that anyone who comes to make troubles will be punished according to the law of Damu! The second prince also has a verbal order, and anyone who comes to trouble the 'gathering guests' Yes, no matter who it is, take it away!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the guards who suddenly appeared quickly arrested He Zhiji and his party, and took them out quickly, one after another, within no more than half a cup of tea.

The restaurant returned to calm. Although the diners were amazed by the farce of this episode, they were relieved a lot.

It seems that there are still people guarding behind this "gathering diner", so that after Meng Hou leaves, he won't be really bullied.

In the afternoon, the guests had almost left, Wen Yu came over, Wen Yu who walked into the restaurant had a sad expression on his face, he glanced at the "dinners" who were much quieter than before, and a look of regret flashed in his eyes.

After learning that Meng Liangchen was not here, he left a few words of comfort and left.

Three days later, the gate of Marquis Wude's mansion finally opened.

At this time, many people had surrounded the street at the entrance. Although there were many people, they were careful not to block the road.

Four servants in white filial attire came out first holding a white sail, followed by a few maids in filial filial attire, each with a look of grief on their faces.Behind him, as far as his eyes could see, a thin woman appeared.

The woman wore a veil, leaving only a pair of red and swollen eyes outside, which made people feel distressed.

Everyone couldn't help sighing, that's probably the princess.

"It's so pitiful..."

Marquis Meng has gone, and Shizi Meng may not have known the information when he was far away at the border, so Princess Chonghua was left alone to handle the funeral. No matter how powerful Princess Chonghua is in business, she is just a weak woman.

It's really hard for Princess Chonghua.

When Princess Chonghua, dressed in filial piety, walked out of the gate holding the ranks covered with white cloth in both hands, a mahogany coffin followed closely behind her.

The one lying inside is probably the Marquis Meng who died in prison in vain.

The funeral procession slowly came out from the gate of the Hou Mansion. Everyone didn't notice that the number of people was small, but they all focused on Meng De's coffin.

I couldn't help feeling a little sad.

Sorrows resounded throughout the street, and the cries of the people in the Hou's mansion infected the people on the street, and they couldn't help but show sadness on their faces.

The funeral procession walked forward slowly, and the common people couldn't help but followed and sent them off all the way.

At this time, Xu Xiang, who was standing at the window on the second floor of the teahouse, watched all this, a gleam flashed in his eyes.

"It seems that Mengde is really dead."

The man in white sitting in front of the tea table paused for a moment and asked, "What is Shibo going to do next?"

Xu Xiang watched the funeral procession go away, turned around and closed the window, and sat opposite the man in white.

He picked up the teacup in front of him, blew on the froth unhurriedly, took a sip, and then put it down.

"The news of Meng De's death should have reached Meng Liangchu's ears by now, and it will surely disturb his army's morale. If there is any accident on the battlefield, it is not surprising to hear the news of defeat."

The man in white asked calmly, "Have you made arrangements in advance, Shibo?"

The corner of Xu Xiang's mouth curled up a touch of coldness: "Of course, when the time comes, everything will go according to plan. Only the emperor will be left in the palace, and he will definitely be able to capture the imperial city and take down Emperor Damu in one fell swoop! When Mu Ze and Mu Yun react, It's already too late!"

The man in white was silent for a long time, and after thinking about it, he said: "Okay, my nephew's hidden guards and the force outside the city are all at Shibo's disposal, and I fully support Shibo's move."

Xu Xiang nodded, and said: "You and I should work together from the inside out, and whether you can successfully open the city gate will be left to your nephew."

The man in white replied: "Then, after the city gate is opened, my nephew will be waiting for Shi Bo's good news."

Xu Xiang's face was full of determination: "I also hope that my nephew will send the old man's family out of the city first, so that the old man's worries will be eliminated!"

He stood up after finishing speaking, and said: "If the old man worships, I hope that the nephew will help them hide their names for the old man, and never appear in front of the world again!"

The man in white also stood up, and replied seriously: "Don't worry, Uncle Shi!"

After the two discussed some details in detail, Xiang Xu turned around and left the room. The man in white sat on the seat with a dignified expression, thoughtful.

At this time, the guard who walked in looked at the expression of the man in white, and asked with some puzzlement: "Master, you still have no confidence in this matter?"

The man in white frowned, his eyes were clear and complicated.
