Fish swimming around the world

Seeing that he couldn't get much out of him, Jiang Fan waved his hand, wanting him to leave.

At this time, Wang Dongzhu suddenly hesitated, as if he had something to say.

Jiang Fan was stunned: "Master Wang, is there something?"

Master Wang hurriedly bowed: "It is indeed a small matter. I dare to ask if the prince has any relationship with Linjiang Pavilion?"

He suddenly mentioned Linjiang Pavilion, which made Jiang Fan stunned: "The master of Linjiang Pavilion has a close relationship with me, why do you ask this?"

Master Wang pondered for a while and said: "Your Majesty, because... because there are two restaurants that want to open shops in Yangdu, but there are rumors in the restaurant industry that they seem to be at odds with Linjiang Pavilion..."

Jiang Fan immediately narrowed his eyes slightly: "Two restaurants... Could it be Bazhenfang and Baiweiju?"

Master Wang hurriedly said: "Sure enough, I can't hide it from the prince, it's these two. Last year, these two families came to my Penglaiju to ask for cooks, but when my Penglaiju was developing, they did not agree to this matter. What's strange is that they didn't force it, but poached two kitchen helpers and left, which is very puzzling.

Later , I heard that Chen Dayou and Guo San died in Linjiang Pavilion, saying that it was a poisoning incident. In the end, the truth came out. It turned out that Baiweiju and Bazhenfang framed them. After that, Linjiang Pavilion fought back, and the status of the two families fell sharply. Now Bazhenfang is at the bottom of the eight major families, and Baiweiju has even fallen out of the eight major families.

I have heard that the prince once met Zhang Zaifu in Linjiang Pavilion, and Pavilion Master Pei also supported the prince in Jile City. This Linjiang Pavilion may have a close relationship with the prince. Now that I heard about these things, I just wanted to talk to the prince. Especially because of the two hangers-on, my Penglaiju offended Linjiang Pavilion, and I specifically wanted to ask the prince for a crime. "

Jiang Fan smiled: "There is no need to ask for a crime, you are also victims. By the way, where do these two families plan to open?"

Wang Dongzhu quickly thanked Jiang Fan for his generosity: "It's opposite my Penglaiju, because it is a joint venture between the two families, named Babaiwei. "

Babaiwei... Jiang Fan couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

Bazhenfang and Baiweiju did something very strange. As Wang Dongzhu said, many people should be able to guess the relationship between him and Linjiang Pavilion. So how bold must these two families be to open a restaurant in Yangdu at this time?

Moreover, there is another thing. The two families are basically enemies. How can they stand on the same boat?

After thinking about it, he nodded slightly to Wang Dongzhu: "Wang Dongzhu is thoughtful. You don't have to interfere in this matter. Just let them go."

He understood that Wang Dongzhu probably also had some of his own little thoughts. After all, no one wanted the eight big families to open in front of their own door and affect their business.

Wang Dongzhu looked normal, as if he had just done his best to inform them. He bowed and retreated with a fist.

After Jiang Fan left, Penglaiju became lively.

All the diners today were excited. They didn't expect such a coincidence to meet the elusive prince here.

But many people were puzzled that the always low-key Xiaoyao King actually came to dine in such a grand manner.

Could it be that he was hiding from the beginning, just to gain the greatest power?

But think about it, it's not possible. Isn't being a king big enough? Must he be a regent?

Some people even secretly talked about conspiracy theories, thinking that Jiang Fan had a big plan. Now that His Majesty suddenly disappeared, he came out to supervise the country and got the Qin Dynasty without bloodshed. There may be many strange things in between.

Although their conspiracy theories moved many people, no one jumped out to say anything publicly. Didn't you see that the civil and military officials in the court didn't react? There may be a deep story inside...

Jiang Fan took the grandparents back to the mortal residence, and just as he was about to set off for Zhangtai Palace, he saw Ba Qing.

Interestingly, Ba Qing was accompanied by a young man in a green hat, but Jiang Fan recognized him at a glance. Isn't this the new chief steward Shangguan Wan'er?

Jiang Fan thought it was interesting that the two of them asked to see him together.

Shangguan Wan'er thought it was more interesting. It has only been a short time, and this master has transformed himself into the regent of the Qin Dynasty, holding the overwhelming power of the Qin State. It is really incredible.

After calming down, Shangguan Wan'er first greeted: "Wan'er left Mount Li without permission, and hereby apologizes."

Jiang Fan waved his hand and smiled: "I have already asked Prime Minister Zhang, what crime you have committed, but remember, don't show your true face, it's not the time yet."

Shangguan Wan'er was relieved: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"You two came together, I guess there must be something big?"

Ba Qing stepped forward, nodded slightly and saluted, and then said: "When the prince was out, something happened in Yangdu. Ba Qing made a decision without the prince's permission. Now that the prince has returned, I should apologize."

Jiang Fan couldn't help laughing: "What's wrong with you one by one, why are you all here to apologize, tell me, what did you do again ? "

Ba Qing said: "Before the prince left Yangdu, Qing talked about the emperor, does the prince still remember it?"

Jiang Fan said: "Yes, but the king had urgent matters at that time and didn't have time to deal with them. The old man couldn't stay anymore?"

Ba Qing nodded: "Although the prince and his majesty were once intimidated by him, for a person who regards power as his life, the effect can only be temporary. He will not be completely submissive. The prince must be very clear about this. "

Jiang Fan said: "Yes, there are many things in Qin that need to be dealt with urgently. The king just hopes that he will be quiet for a while. It seems that... he is ready to move again?"

Ba Qing said: "Your Majesty, please allow me to report that the emperor... wants to become a disciple. "

"Oh?" Jiang Fan was surprised. Although the old man was only in his fifties, he was in poor health. In addition, he took those strange pills all day long. How could he suddenly make such a scene when he was about to die?

"Who do you want to be your disciple?"

Ba Qing said softly: "The ancestor of the Za family, Shi Jiao."

Shi Jiao, Jiang Fan was not unfamiliar with this name. After all, they had fought against the landlord together. He was quite impressed by this half-paralyzed old man.

Many people did not know the name of Shi Jiao, but Jiang Fan was familiar with it. It was not only from the Ji Le spy, but the empress had also told him something.

Mainly because this old man indirectly influenced Daqin too much.

Although he had never been an official in Qin, he had two famous apprentices, both of whom were the top bosses of Daqin at that time.

Shang Jun and Lu Fu.

"Interesting..." Jiang Fan tapped the table with his fingers: "When did it happen?"

Ba Qing said: "It should have been planned long ago, but the time has not come until now."

"What does this time mean, Madam?"

Ba Qing said: "Two reasons, internal and external. Although I don't know much about the external reason, I think the situation has met the conditions. But I know something about the internal reason. It is because of the martial arts inheritance."

"Martial arts inheritance?" Jiang Fan's eyebrows moved slightly: "Although the emperor was able to fight lions and tigers when he was young, he was held hostage in the Great Zhou and his body was injured. His martial arts skills are just average. How much does the martial arts inheritance have to do with him?"
