Don’t Show the Son

Lin Xiu is no stranger to Tianxianglou.

Some time ago, because of the ice production, he had a conflict with Tianxianglou. Later, in order to force him to submit, the son of Dong Chengwei planned to frame him, but he put it together.

Later, perhaps knowing that Lin Xiu was working for the imperial palace, Tianxiang Tower and the Yongping Hou Mansion behind it never moved again.

Lin Xiu originally thought that the incident was over, but he didn't expect Tianxiang Tower to come into his eyes again.

After coming out of the School of Different Arts, the closest to the Yueyue Building, Wang Wei gave up the distance and went to the Tianxiang Building, which shows that his destination was very clear from the very beginning.

Everyone's taste is different, this is not a point of suspicion, but Lin Xiu just learned that Wang Wei is not Xue Ning'er's suitor, but deliberately used this as an excuse to provoke him, and killed him in the competition. When he entered Tianxiang Tower, how could he not suspect anything?

I have to say that Wang Wei is not detailed enough.

And the devil is often hidden in the details.

The matter of Xue Ning'er is the first, and Tianxiang Tower is the second. Could it be that behind Wang Wei's attack on him, it is the Yongping Houfu who ordered it. This is the Yongping Houfu's revenge for his refusal to make ice?

If that was the case, he would have to get serious.

Tianxianglou is the property of Yongpinghou's mansion, but what is Yongpinghou's status, he will definitely not take care of the restaurant in person on weekdays. This kind of shop is usually handed over to the mansion who specializes in managing the property, and a mere manger , Can you instruct Wang Wei?

These two things seemed to be linked together, but Lin Xiu always felt that something was wrong.

Just because Lin Xiu refused to make ice for them, they wanted his life. Although this reason made sense, it was a bit too far-fetched.

Today was Li Baizhang's treat. He knew that Lin Xiu could not drink well, so he only asked the waiter to serve tea. Seeing that he was absent-minded while eating, he asked, Brother Lin, is something on your mind?

Lin Xiu smiled and explained: No, it's just that today's food is a bit unappetizing. Next time, you can try the dishes of other restaurants, such as Tianxianglou...

Li Baizhang heard the words but said: It doesn't matter about other restaurants, but it's better for Brother Lin not to go to Tianxiang Restaurant.

Brother Lin looked at him when he heard the words, and asked, Why?

Li Baizhang explained: Behind the Tianxiang Building is the Yongping Hou Mansion. Yongping Hou has personally gone to the Zhao family several times. He wanted to propose marriage for his son, but was rejected by the Zhao family. Brother Lin guessed why?

What else could be the reason? Naturally, it was because Lin Xiu and Zhao Lingjun had a marriage contract.

It's connected, everything is connected.

Whether it is Tianxiang Tower or Wang Wei, behind these two things is the Yongping Hou Mansion.

Wang Wei used jealousy as a pretense to kill Lin Xiu. I am afraid that the purpose of Tianxianglou at that time was not simply to let Lin Xiu make ice...

The person behind this hides deeply and uses extremely insidious methods. If it wasn't for Xue Ning'er's unintentional remark, if it wasn't for Wang Wei's flaws in the details, and if it wasn't for Li Baizhang's reminder, Lin Xiu would never have thought that he and Yongping The source of the Hou's grievances was actually that marriage contract...

Lin Xiu took a sip of her tea, and said to Li Baizhang, I just saw Wang Wei enter the Tianxiang Tower. Could it be that he has friendship with the Marquis of Yongping?

Li Baizhang nodded, and said: The Marquis of Yongping is the first-class marquis of Daxia, and he has a lot of power in his hands. Naturally, there is no lack of support behind him. Wang Wei's father, Marquis Guang'an, is the only Marquis of Yongping. Marquis Yongping supported them up, Dongcheng Yamen is like the backyard of their home, and Uncle Zhongyong and Uncle Chengyi are also subordinates of Marquis Yongping...

Uncle Zhongyong?

Lin Xiu's eyes narrowed slightly. He didn't expect that Qin Cong's father was also from the Marquis of Yongping. Could it be that Qin Cong's targeting of him was also instigated by someone behind his back...

Although it was Lin Xiu who took the initiative to offend Qin Cong at the time, it was natural for Qin Cong to trouble him, but whether it was the ice making in Tianxianglou or the provocation from the Martial Arts class, which one was not natural?

Someone is taking advantage of these things for granted, trying to hide the real reason behind it.

Lin Xiu sometimes still wonders why he has encountered so many things in the short time since he came here. Could it be that he has the physique of a troublemaker in the legend?

It was only now that he realized that everything that seemed accidental was actually inevitable.

It's not that he likes to cause trouble, it's that someone has been deliberately arranging him.

In this way, the assassination incident that night was also the work of the Yongping Hou Mansion?

Lin Xiu felt wronged.

Who did he provoke, obviously he was also the victim of that marriage contract...

Everyone is innocent, but he is guilty of carrying bi. Zhao Lingjun is Lin Xiu's bi. As long as this marriage contract is still there, the whole royal capital is afraid that not only Yongping Hou's family is looking forward to something happening to him.

But the Marquis of Yongping tried to attack Lin Xiu again and again, but they were unsuccessful, and I am afraid they would not stop there.

In order not to mistake the enemy, Lin Xiu had to confirm again.

Wangdu, a certain restaurant.

After eating and drinking enough, Wu Qing walked out of the restaurant.

He sighed in his heart at this moment, the taste of the food in this ordinary restaurant is far from being comparable to that of Tianxiang Restaurant, but it is a pity that he has been completely given up since he messed up what Mr. Yongpinghou told him last time.

From then on, he couldn't eat and drink for free in Tianxiang Tower as before, and became a marginal figure by the other party's side.

Walking out of the restaurant, Wu Qing was about to go back to the yamen when suddenly a figure blocked his way.

Who doesn't have eyes... He opened his mouth and wanted to curse, but when he saw the person coming, his face turned pale with fright, and he said in a trembling voice, You, what do you want to do, I haven't messed with you recently...

Wu Qing was really afraid of Lin Xiu. If Lin Xiu hadn't given him a break last time, he might have passed the first seven by now.

Lin Xiu smiled slightly at Wu Qing and said, Don't be afraid, I just want to ask you a few questions.

Wu Qing tentatively asked, What, what's the problem?

Lin Xiudao: I know, you were ordered by someone last time. You just need to tell me who ordered you.

Wu Qing shook his head and said: No one instructs me, but I often eat at Tianxianglou, and I have a good relationship with the shopkeeper of Tianxianglou. During that time, you made ice for Zhaiyuelou, and all the guests went to Zhaiyuelou. He Just let me help him...

Lin Xiu raised her eyebrows and said, Really?

Wu Qing nodded and said, It's absolutely true!

Lin Xiu smiled at him and said: Since you did it alone, there is nothing to say. Don't blame me if you are wronged. Remember to be a good person in your next life. Every year on the anniversary of death, I will give more to you. You burn some paper money...

Wu Qing's complexion changed drastically, and he said in a trembling voice, You, what do you want to do!

Lin Xiu said ruthlessly: Your Majesty asked me to store ice for the palace's ice bank tomorrow. I'll beat you up now and go back and break my three ribs. When someone comes to the palace tomorrow, I will say that I was seriously injured by you. Can’t act, let His Majesty wait a few more days...

Wu Qing said angrily: You are framing!

Lin Xiu shrugged and said: I have no grievances with you, why did I frame you, besides, I know the father-in-law in the palace very well, they should report the truth to His Majesty tomorrow, you go back and prepare for the funeral. Eat whatever you want for two days, it’s best to say goodbye to relatives and friends, I’m afraid I won’t have time...

...

Wu Qing was silent for a moment, then raised his head decisively, looked at Lin Xiu, and said seriously: That's right, that matter has nothing to do with me at all, it's Yang Xuan, the eldest son of Yongping Houfu, who asked me to trouble you , and said that it is best to find a chance to abolish you. If you have a grievance and a debtor, you can go to him if you want to find it. It's none of my business, really none of my business...
