I opened a tea shop in Bianjing

Chapter 73
Mo Yunxiao stomped back and forth in the secret room alone, thinking about how to use his special status to break up their alliance.Rao is quick-witted, but there is no good way for a while, so she can only see the tricks.

The kerosene lamp on the table was almost burnt out, the lights were flickering, and the room was flickering.

Mo Yunxiao had some palpitations, and unconsciously got goosebumps on her arms. "Are they trying to trap me here?"

Thinking of this, her heart trembled.But thinking about it carefully, there is absolutely no such possibility.It is an iron-clad fact that she is the quasi-princess of King Jian Zhao.How courageous is he, Wan Nailin, to stroke the beard of the royal family?
Just when she was thinking wildly, she heard a "bang" sound from outside the door, and the door opened.Mo Yunxiao looked back, and saw a middle-aged man wearing coarse linen clothes, straw sandals, and a bamboo hat coming with a smile, followed by the hunchback.

A wicked smile appeared on the corner of Mo Yunxiao's mouth.This person is none other than Wan Nailin, the leader of the Cao Gang.

With a flattering smile, Wan Nailin stooped in and said, "It turned out to be Miss Mo, what kind of wind brought you here. Our haunted building is a place where dirty people come. "

Mo Yunxiao smiled coldly, shook his robe, sat down and said, "Brother Wan is so arrogant, I thought I couldn't please him."

Wan Nailin rushed up to greet Mo Yunxiao, poured a bowl of hot tea for Mo Yunxiao himself, and said, "Don't be annoyed. Eat a bowl of tea to moisten your throat first. The tea here is no better than Minglou, it's all tea leaves , just to quench your thirst."

Seeing his respectful attitude, Mo Yunxiao couldn't say anything more, so he took a sip from his tea bowl and said, "I'm here today for nothing else, but to ask you one thing, you and Mr. Zhang and the others It’s plotted to assassinate the officials, isn’t it?”

"Ah?" Wan Nailin's face turned pale with fright.He hurriedly looked at the hunchback behind him, and the hunchback also shook his head hastily with a look of fear.

Mo Yunxiao glanced at him from the corner of his eye, and then said, "Brother Wan, you don't have to be afraid, King Jian told me about this. Since I want to be King Jian's concubine, I should also share his worries. So this matter I won't spread the word."

After hearing this, Wan Nailin's flustered heart calmed down a little, and then he smiled again: "Then Miss Mo... Oh no, what does the princess mean?"

"I'm a woman, so what's the point?" She said, taking another sip of hot tea.Wan Nailin didn't take it seriously when he heard it, and thought to himself: "I'm afraid you, a woman, are more difficult than many men."

"It's just that King Jian also has plans for King Jian." Mo Yunxiao raised his eyebrows and glanced at Wan Nailin, and said with a smile, "Brother Wan should know that Liu Dadao's gang of beggars is still in the city. They have been staring at Wan Nailin. Where's your canal?"

Wan Nailin's complexion changed, and he said, "We have Zhang Xianggong backing us, what can he do with Liu Dadao?"

"Yes, you have Zhang Dun's backing." Mo Yunxiao said, "However, Liu Dadao also had a secret meeting with King Jian. If Liu Dadao's people destroy the official family, then..."

Wan Nailin frowned and said, "So what, he still wants to swallow our canal for generations?"

"It's inevitable to share some benefits." Mo Yunxiao said and put down the tea bowl.

Wan Nailin let out a sigh of relief, and stomped back and forth with his hands behind his back.He turned around twice, then looked at Mo Yunxiao again, smiled awkwardly, then turned his head to signal the hunchback to come over.He whispered something to him, the hunchback nodded and went out.

Mo Yunxiao's heart was also up and down, and he didn't know what he was planning, but he could only pull himself together and put on a proud look.

The hunchback retreated, and Wan Nailin came up to meet him and asked, "Is it the intention of King Jian that the princess is here today?"

"Otherwise?" Mo Yunxiao smiled.

Wan Nailin frowned and thought about it again, then asked: "Does the princess have a token from King Jian?"

Mo Yunxiao's complexion changed, and a ruthless light shone in his eyes. "What? Brother Wan doesn't trust me?"

"No, no, what is the princess talking about?" Wan Nailin hurriedly said, "It's just a matter of great importance, and it also involves the affiliation of the high position. I can't be careless."

"Okay, don't you want a token? I am the token." Mo Yunxiao raised her chin and said, "You can tie me up and send me to the palace to see if King Jian asked me to come. ",

Wan Nailin was flustered, and waved his hands again and again, saying, "Princess, calm down, princess, calm down. That's not what I meant. I... well, I can't speak, so don't worry about getting angry. It's not worth it if you get angry."

Mo Yunxiao glared at him fiercely, and continued: "Your Majesty called me here to tell you that this big event is no small matter, and it might be a serious crime of losing your head. If someone dares to be unsatisfied, it will never be tolerated." he."

"Yes! Yes!" Wan Nailin nodded repeatedly.

"Also, since Liu Dadao is sincerely contributing, there is something for him." Mo Yunxiao continued, "Your Majesty also asked me to tell you that in the future, we must cooperate sincerely and not hinder each other because of past grievances."

"Ah? This..." Wan Nailin said with a blank face, "Our secret discussion is very thorough. If we pull Liu Dadao into the group again, I'm afraid it will lead to accidents and chaos. I hope King Jian thinks twice."

"Hey, why don't you know the king you are talking about?" Mo Yunxiao also showed a worried look, and said, "Just to be safe, the king has to make two preparations. Liu Dadao and the others are not the prince's confidantes. If something happens, it is not secret. You can sell them and lose your pawns to protect your handsome man."

Wan Nailin still felt apprehensive, but was about to say something again but was interrupted by Mo Yunxiao: "If the matter fails, everyone will sink with the ship, and there is nothing to say. But once the matter is accomplished, the credit book will have to include the beggar gang This sum. So..."

"So Your Majesty wants me to give them the canal?" Wan Nailin gritted his teeth and asked.

Mo Yunxiao smiled and said, "It's not necessary to send them all out. The canals in Tokyo include the Bian River, Cai River, and Wuzhang River. It's also okay to give them some insignificant canals."

As soon as Mo Yunxiao finished speaking, Wan Nailin yelled, "No way!" which inevitably startled her. "The canal is the work of our brothers and sisters for generations, let alone a river, even a pier!"

Mo Yunxiao was also angry, slammed the table heavily, stood up and shouted: "Wan Nailin, who are you talking to!"

Wan Nailin was taken aback, and quickly confessed: "Princess calm down, the little one was reckless for a while, and offended the princess, he deserves death, he deserves death!"

"Hmph!" Mo Yun sat down again sullenly, and said with a displeased look: "If the king doesn't need you, I can take your skin off because of your rudeness."

Wan Nailin knelt down on the ground, and said with a sad face: "The princess doesn't know, this canal is the lifeblood of our Cao Gang brothers. It's a small matter to make a river, but the brothers have no livelihood, but they are resentful. They should It is said that I turned my elbows outward, favoring outsiders and not helping our own. At that time, it will be more uncomfortable than you always peeling my skin."

Hearing what he said, Mo Yunxiao also nodded silently. The benefit of the canal seems simple, but it is actually very dangerous.The Cao Gang has been entrenched on the canal for a long time and has formed an intertwined interest group.If Liu Dadao's gang of beggars rushes in rashly, it will inevitably cause a firestorm.

However, Wan Nailin, relying on the backing of the powerful and powerful, actually did such a vicious deed as "Ghost Fanlou".Thinking of this, Mo Yunxiao's anger that gradually subsided rose again.

"If you are right, go talk to the king, you can't talk to me." Mo Yunxiao said coldly.

Wan Nailin kowtowed and said, "Princess, you want to save me! Your Majesty only listens to you."

Mo Yunxiao glanced at her, and said with a smile: "You want me to help you? That's fine too, but you have to express it."

Wan Nailin was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, and said grinningly: "We are born with mud legs, we have neither treasures nor mansions, but the concubine loves me so much, I have a filial piety."

"Hmph!" Mo Yunxiao glanced coldly, and said, "I am a dignified princess, and I may be the mother of the country in the future. Is your filial piety in my eyes?"

Wan Nailin was embarrassed for a while, rubbing his hands, his expression was very embarrassed, and he could only say "this... this..." incoherently.

Mo Yunxiao drank the tea in the bowl, wiped the corners of her mouth with her sleeve, and then said slowly: "Brother Wan, I will never make things difficult for you. You want to keep the canal, and I want to keep the seat of the mother of the country. If you help me, if you help me, you are helping yourself."

Wan Nailin's eyes lit up, she leaned over and asked, "I don't know what instructions the princess has?"

Mo Yunxiao raised her eyelashes, looked into his eyes and said, "I want to see Zhang Dun."

"Ah?" Wan Nailin gasped, staring and said, "This can't be... can't be..."

"How? Is it true that I, Princess Jian, are not worthy to see our Zai Zhi?" Mo Yunxiao had a contemptuous smile on her face, but there was a proud anger in her eyes and brows.

Wan Nailin looked at her as if he was looking directly at the scorching sun, and hurriedly lowered his head, but he was already dripping with sweat.He hastily wiped the sweat off his face with his arm, and said, "On a normal day, this matter would be easy to handle. But now is an extraordinary time, and we should take extraordinary measures. King Jian is about to do something, so he should have been very careful Be careful. If the princess wants to see Zhang Xiang at this time, I'm afraid she will..."

"Hmph!" Mo Yunxiao flicked her sleeves and stood up.She took two steps with anger in her eyes, and then said sullenly: "If it's not an extraordinary time, even if you invite me with eight big sedan chairs, I will not go to see him. In an extraordinary time, you should do extraordinary things. We are doing a decapitation business, so timid, what else can we do!"

Wan Nailin was baffled by what she said, but he didn't dare to refute, so he could only ask: "I don't know why the princess went to see Zhang Xiang. The small conveyance is the same."

"Wan Nailin!" Mo Yunxiao suddenly turned her face, Wan Nailin's heart stopped beating for half a second, and she hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to look at her again.

Mo Yunxiao's eyes were full of murderous aura, and she approached slowly, Wan Nailin had no choice but to back away, and retreated to the corner of the wall without knowing it.He trembled, and his spine touched the cold wall.But Mo Yunxiao didn't stop, but continued to lean closer.

Wan Nai Lin suddenly felt oppressed, as if a mountain was pressing down on him.As "this mountain" approached, a ray of fragrance also came to the nostrils.This was the smell of Mo Yunxiao's body, but Wan Nailin's nose made him terrified.So he could only turn his head away, and his breathing became more and more rapid.

Mo Yunxiao snorted softly, then suddenly raised one leg high, and it landed in front of Wan Nailin's eyes with a "slap".Mo Yunxiao pressed forward, and Wan Nailin trembled.

"Prince...Princess, you are...I can't afford to take the blame..." Wan Nailin was also trembling as she spoke, trembling all over her body.

"Of course you can't afford to suffer." Mo Yunxiao said: "You ghost Fanlou is vicious, and you imprisoned this pavilion in a secret room. What do you want to do?"

"Ah?" Wan Nailin's calves were so frightened that he would have collapsed to the ground if he hadn't been leaning against the wall. "Princess, you hold your hand high, I... I'm just a stinky loach on the Bian River, I don't know where I offended you, you want to tease me like this!"

Mo Yunxiao's face darkened, and he said gloomily, "I want to see Zhang Dun, can you help me with this?"

Wan Nailin nodded like pounding garlic, and couldn't straighten his knotted tongue for a while, so he could only say: "Help...help...help!"

Only then did Mo Yunxiao smile with satisfaction, and slowly moved the raised leg away, and then slowly lowered it. The straight and slender legs were extremely enchanting, but Wan Nailin didn't dare to look at them, and could only stare at the top, mouth open. Panting heavily.

"Brother Wan, I'm not talking about you. You promised to be good to everyone. If you have to make such a fuss, why bother?" Mo Yunxiao said while walking.

Wan Nailin had no choice but to follow behind her, and said with an apologetic smile: "Yes. Yes..." When Mo Yunxiao sat down, he frowned: "But this matter requires some risks after all. Zhang Xiang always knows It will take some effort to come and go. Besides, Wangfei, you are very precious, if you sneak into the prime minister's mansion in the middle of the night, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient."

Mo Yunxiao chuckled, crossed his legs, and said, "Brother Wan is the bully in our Tokyo city, so this small matter can't trouble you."

"Ah? This...hehe..." Wan Nailin was suddenly hugged by her, and he also felt his heart flutter, as if he was drunk, and said: "Princess, don't worry, my brothers and I will take care of it."

In less than one watch, the watchman had just passed the Prime Minister's Mansion when a carriage with its windows covered creaked towards the back door of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Waiting here was an old man sitting on the steps and yawning.Seeing the carriage approaching, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly raised the lantern to meet him.

The driver who was driving the carriage jumped out of the carriage first, and said with a smile, "Housekeeper Cao, Mr. Zhang ordered that the flowers and plants in the mansion have failed. Please let us, the gardener, come and take a look."

The old man said "Oh" repeatedly, and hurriedly said: "Then please get out of the car, sir."

As he spoke, a man in a gray burqa came out of the carriage.The burqa covered his whole body, and there was even a hood on his head. Not only could he not see his face clearly, but he could not even distinguish between male and female.

The coachman laughed: "Our master gardener is well-known in Tokyo, so he came here at night and didn't want to show off."

"Oh, that's right." Steward Cao rushed up to help the "gardener" down, and said, "Sir, come with me."

"Gardenist" didn't speak, just nodded, and followed the old man into Zhang Dun's mansion through the back door.
