Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 50
[Chapter 50 Connected]
Lin Xiu is no stranger to Tianxiang Tower.
Some time ago, he had a conflict with Tianxiang Tower because of the ice-making. Later, the son of the East City Commandant designed to frame him in order to force him to surrender, but he was tricked instead.
Later, perhaps because they learned that Lin Xiu was working for the palace, Tianxiang Tower and the Yongping Marquis Mansion behind it no longer made any moves.
Lin Xiu thought that the matter was over, but he didn’t expect Tianxiang Tower to catch his eye again.
Coming out of the Yishu Academy, it was closest to Zhaiyue Tower. Wang Wei went to Tianxiang Tower instead of the near one, which means that from the beginning, his destination was very clear.
Everyone has different tastes, and this was not a point of suspicion. But Lin Xiu just learned that Wang Wei was not Xue Ning’er’s pursuer, and deliberately used this as an excuse to provoke him and kill him in the competition. In a blink of an eye, he saw him enter Tianxiang Tower. How could he not doubt something?
It must be said that Wang Wei is not detailed enough in doing things.
And the devil is often hidden in the details.
Xue Ning’er’s matter was one, and Tianxianglou was the other. Could it be that Wang Wei’s action against him was instigated by Yongping Marquis’s Mansion, and was it Yongping Marquis’s revenge for his refusal to make ice?
If that was the case, he would have to take it seriously.
Tianxianglou was the property of Yongping Marquis’s Mansion, but Yongping Marquis was a person of such status, and he would definitely not personally manage the restaurant’s affairs on weekdays. This kind of shop was usually handed over to the housekeeper who was responsible for the property of the mansion. Could a mere housekeeper order Wang Wei around?
These two things seemed to be connected, 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 far-fetched.
Li Baizhang was treating today. He knew that Lin Xiu could not drink much, so he only asked the waiter to serve tea. Seeing that he looked absent-minded while eating, he asked, “Brother Lin, are you worried?”
Lin Xiu smiled and explained, “No, it’s just that today’s food is not to my taste. Next time, I can try the dishes of other restaurants, such as Tianxianglou…”
Li Baizhang said, “Other restaurants don’t matter, but Brother Lin should go to Tianxianglou less.”
Brother Lin looked at him and asked, “Why?”
Li Baizhang explained, “Behind Tianxianglou is Yongping Marquis Mansion. Yongping Marquis has personally visited the Zhao family several times to ask for marriage for his son, but was rejected by the Zhao family. Brother Lin guess why?” Why
else could it be? Of course, it was because Lin Xiu and Zhao Lingjun were engaged.
It was connected, everything was connected.
Whether it was Tianxianglou or Wang Wei, behind these two things was Yongping Marquis Mansion.
Wang Wei used jealousy as a pretext to kill Lin Xiu. I’m afraid that Tianxiang Tower’s purpose at that time was not simply to let Lin Xiu make ice…
The person behind this is very hidden and his methods are extremely sinister. If it weren’t for Xue Ning’er’s unintentional words, if Wang Wei hadn’t revealed his flaws in the details, if it weren’t for Li Baizhang’s reminder, Lin Xiu would never have thought that the root of his grievances with Yongping Marquis’s Mansion was actually that marriage contract…
Lin Xiu took a sip of tea and said to Li Baizhang, “I just saw Wang Wei enter Tianxiang Tower. Could he have a friendship with Yongping Marquis’s Mansion?”
Li Baizhang nodded and said, “Yongping Marquis is a first-class marquis in Daxia. He has considerable power and naturally has a lot of supporters behind him. Wang Wei’s father, Guang’an Marquis, only follows Yongping Marquis’s lead. In addition, Dongcheng Ling Dongcheng Wei was also supported by Yongping Marquis. The Dongcheng Yamen is like their backyard. There are also the Earl of Loyalty and Bravery and the Earl of Sincerity, who are also under the command of Yongping Marquis…”
“Loyal and Brave Lord?”
Lin Xiu’s eyes narrowed slightly. He had not expected that Qin Cong’s father was also a man of the Marquis of Yongping. Could it be that Qin Cong’s targeting of him was also instigated by someone behind the scenes…
Although it was Lin Xiu who took the initiative to offend Qin Cong at that time, and it was reasonable for Qin Cong to cause trouble for him, whether it was the ice making in Tianxiang Tower or the provocation in the martial arts class, which one was not reasonable?
Someone was using these reasonable things to try to hide the real reason behind them.
Lin Xiu sometimes wondered why he had encountered so many things not long after coming here. Could he be the legendary trouble-making physique? It was not
until now that he knew that everything seemed accidental, but in fact it was inevitable.
It was not that he liked to cause trouble, but that someone had been deliberately arranging for him.
In this case, the assassination that night was also the work of Yongping Marquis Mansion?
Lin Xiu felt very wronged.
Who did he offend? He was obviously also a victim of the engagement…
The man was innocent, but he was guilty of possessing the jade. Zhao Lingjun was Lin Xiu’s jade. As long as the engagement was still there, I’m afraid that the whole capital would not only be hoping that he would get into trouble.
And Yongping Marquis Mansion had tried to attack Lin Xiu three times without success, and I’m afraid they would not stop.
In order to avoid making the wrong enemy, Lin Xiu had to confirm it again.
A restaurant somewhere in the capital.
Wu Qing walked out of the restaurant after eating and drinking.
At this moment, he sighed in his heart that the taste of the food in this ordinary restaurant was far from comparable to that of Tianxianglou. It was a pity that since he messed up the things that Yongping Marquis’ son had told him last time, he was completely abandoned.
From then on, he could no longer eat and drink for free in Tianxianglou like before, and he became a marginal figure around him.
After walking out of the restaurant, Wu Qing was about to return to the government office when he was suddenly blocked by a figure.
“Who doesn’t have eyes…” He opened his mouth and wanted to curse, but when he saw who it was, his face turned pale with fear, and he said in a trembling voice: “You, what do you want to do, I haven’t provoked you recently…”
Wu Qing was really afraid of Lin Xiu. If Lin Xiu hadn’t let him go last time, he would probably have passed the seventh day of his death.
Lin Xiu smiled at Wu Qing and said, “Don’t be afraid, I just want to ask you a few questions.”
Wu Qing tentatively asked, “What, what questions?”
Lin Xiu said, “I know that you were instructed by someone last time. You just need to tell me who instructed you.”
Wu Qing shook his head and said, “No one instructed me, but I often eat at Tianxianglou and have a good relationship with the owner of Tianxianglou. During that time, you made ice for Zhaiyuelou, and all the customers ran to Zhaiyuelou, so he asked me to help him…”
Lin Xiu raised his eyebrows and said, “Really?”
Wu Qing nodded and said, “Absolutely true!”
Lin Xiu smiled at him and said, “Since you did it alone, there is nothing to say. Every grievance has its perpetrator, and you don’t blame me. Remember it in your next life. Be a good person, and I will burn more paper money for you on your death anniversary every year…”
Wu Qing’s face changed drastically, and he said in a trembling voice: “You, what do you want to do!”
Lin Xiu said mercilessly: “His Majesty will ask me to store ice for the palace’s ice storage tomorrow. I will beat you up now and break three of my ribs when I go back. When someone from the palace comes tomorrow, they will say that you have seriously injured me and I can’t move, and ask His Majesty to wait for a few more days…”
Wu Qing said angrily: “You are falsely accusing me!” Lin Xiu
shrugged and said: “I have no grudges against you, why should I frame you? In addition, I am very familiar with the eunuchs in the palace. They should report to His Majesty truthfully tomorrow. You go back and prepare for your funeral. Eat whatever you want in the next two days. It’s best to say goodbye to your relatives and friends. I’m afraid I won’t have time by then…”
“…”
Wu Qing was silent for a moment, then raised his head decisively, looked at Lin Xiu, and said seriously: “It’s like this, that matter has nothing to do with me. It was Yang Xuan, the eldest son of Yongping Marquis’s Mansion. He asked me to cause trouble for you and said that it would be best to find an opportunity to destroy you. If you want to find someone, go find him. It has nothing to do with me, it really has nothing to do with me…”
