Chapter 2549 A near miss!
Chapter 2549 A near miss!
Chai An actually sent a message to Wang Yue before setting off, so he was not going to take action himself. He was just going to take advantage of the power of others and delay time.
So, he sat leisurely aside and said lightly, "In this case, I also want to see if Yang Yanei's neck is as hard as his mouth?"
Yang Xian was very angry when he heard Chai An's sarcastic words, but there was nothing he could do.
After all, Chai An's identity is very special. As long as Chai An has not broken the law, no matter who offends Chai An, they will be in trouble.
This is what the Zhao family owes the Chai family!
Others may not know the Zhao family's concerns about the Chai family, but how could Yang Xian not know? His sister, who was a concubine in the palace, had specifically warned him about it.
But now Yang Xian discovered that Chai An, whom even the emperor was afraid of, was not going to intervene and was just delaying time. He became very curious about the person behind the scenes.
Yang Xian put away his original attitude of getting angry and was not anxious at all. Anyway, he felt that if the other party had a higher status, it would be easy for him to ask the other party for the daughter of a merchant.
Of course, the one Yang Xian relies on is still his sister.
What surprised Yang Xian was that after a short while, instead of some important figures coming, there was only a half-grown child.
The child took a sword and came to the main store of Wufulinmen.
When Chai An saw the child, he immediately stood up and asked politely, "Bai Yutang, why did your master send you here?"
Bai Yutang waved the sword in his hand and said calmly, "Master Chai, my master asked me to come here with the dragon-patterned sword and take a look. If anyone is doing something illegal here, I will kill them with my sword and he will take responsibility for everything."
After hearing this, Chai An couldn't help but look at Yang Xian and silently lit a candle for him.
He was filled with emotion, "This Wang Yue really doesn't take Yang Xian seriously. You have to know that he is the younger brother of Concubine Yang in the palace.
Even the third-rank officials in the court could only greet Yang Xian cordially when they saw him, but Wang Yue seemed not to be afraid of Concubine Yang’s influence at all.”
But when Chai An thought about this, he suddenly thought of a problem. Wang Yue's dragon-patterned sword was a reward from the empress dowager, and the current emperor's empress is the empress dowager's person, and Concubine Yang obviously does not get along with the empress.
If Wang Yue just killed Yang Xian like this, it seemed like nothing would happen. After all, the Queen Mother and the Empress would plead for Wang Yue.
When Yang Xian saw the sword with the dragon pattern, his mind suddenly became clear, because except for the emperor and the empress dowager, no one else could use the thing with the dragon pattern.
As for the Dragon Patterned Sword, it seems that Wang Yue is the only one in the world who has received this reward.
Yang Xian thought of Wang Yue's right to act first and report later. His face turned pale and he quickly turned back to look at Chai An and asked excitedly,
"Chai An, you bastard! Why didn't you tell me that this shop belongs to Wang Yue!"
In fact, Yang Xian was still praying in his heart that this shop belonged to Wang Yue, because as long as this shop belonged to Wang Yue, Wang Yue should avoid suspicion and should not do anything to him at all.
Chai An saw through Yang Xian's concerns, smiled and shook his head, saying, "Not really, this shop now belongs to the Li family, not Lord Wang at all."
When he said this, he saw Yang Xian's face turn pale, and then he added,
"However, the eldest daughter of the Li family happens to be Wang Yue's wife. Tell me, isn't that infuriating?"
When Yang Xian heard this, he felt like cursing in his heart. Her sister was considered a beauty in the palace, and a relatively favored beauty, but in fact, wasn't she just a Madam Ru?
The eldest daughter of the Li family actually became Wang Yue's wife. If he did anything to the Li family, wouldn't he be completely offending Wang Yue?
Thinking of this, Yang Xian looked at the dragon-patterned sword in Bai Yutang's hand. He really didn't have the courage to resist, so he waved his hand and said to the people outside, "Go away."
The Yang family's men have always been arrogant and domineering. They were ready to smash the store today, but they didn't expect that their own young master would back down first.
So, Yang Xian's servants and guards were stunned for a moment, and then they dispersed.
Although they are domineering, they are not fools. Their masters are cowardly, so they dare not provoke them!
After Yang Xian and his people left, he smiled and said to Chai An, "Chai An, I just want to find a woman. Can you help me find one? I'll owe you a favor."
Chai An knew who Yang Xian was looking for. He probably understood that Yang Xian might want to be Wang Yue's brother-in-law, but he was one step too late!
However, although Chai An was very proud, he pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What kind of woman? What does she look like? Tell me about it."
Yang Xian waved his hand and asked his men to take out a scroll. He handed it to Chai An, and then asked unwillingly, "Look, it's this woman. If I hadn't admired this woman, I wouldn't have made such a fuss."
Chai An actually knew about this a long time ago, but he pretended to be very surprised and said, "Uncle Yang, why do you have a portrait of my fiancée? Where did it come from?"
When Yang Xian noticed the change in Chai An's expression, he thought he had found the person he was looking for. However, when he heard Chai An's words, he immediately said unhappily, "Are you kidding me? The woman I'm looking for happens to be your fiancée?"
Seeing that Yang Xian didn't believe him, Chai An immediately explained seriously, "My cousin's surname is Fan, and she married the second daughter of the Li family. Then I met the third daughter of the Li family. As for Wang Xun'an, he was originally a neighbor of the Li family, so of course he also knew the eldest daughter of the Li family!"
What he said was a mixture of truth and falsehood, but Yang Xian couldn't help but believe it. After all, what Chai An said could be investigated. If he was lying, it was really not worth it, but there was no time left.
But Yang Xian came this time with such a threatening attitude. If he did nothing and just left, his reputation would probably be ruined in the future.
Therefore, he was somewhat unwilling to accept it, so he frowned and asked, "Since Wang Xun'an and the Li family are neighbors, why would he marry the eldest daughter of the Li family as a concubine? What you said is a bit unreasonable."
Chai An saw that Yang Xian still didn't believe it, so he whispered, "The eldest daughter of the Li family was married before, Yang Yanei, do you understand now?"
After Yang Xian heard this, he finally understood what was going on. At the same time, he also understood that if he continued to do evil here, Bai Yutang would be able to kill him with one sword. The final result would probably be that he would at most take back the dragon-patterned sword that was like a royal sword, but his life would be gone.
Thinking of this, Yang Xian no longer cared about saving face. He bowed to Chai An, then walked outside with forced calmness.
When he came outside, he said to his servant, "Break Liang Junqing's legs for me. I don't want to see him in Tokyo City again!"
After Yang Xian finished speaking, he immediately took his men away, and his men immediately went to look for Liang Junqing.
Liang Junqing is very easy to find. You can just go where there are busy places. Of course, if you really can't find him, just go to the famous red-light districts and you will always be able to find him.
So, when the drunk Liang Junqing was about to go home accompanied by his servant, he was suddenly put into a sack and all his legs were broken.
After Yang Xian's men finished beating the people, the fifth-floor military department finally arrived. After that, they only asked a few questions and carried Liang Junqing and the other beaten people to the clinic.
However, Yang Xian did not say why he was fighting, so the people from the Five Cities Army misunderstood. They took advantage of his situation and rushed directly to the Li family the next day, wanting to capture Kang Ning by name.
It was just a coincidence that Kang Ning was at Wang Yue’s manor at that time, so he escaped.
In fact, the reason for this coincidence was not that anyone deliberately arranged it. It was because Shouhua tasted Wuliangye at Wang Yue's place and thought that this wine was very delicious, so he asked Wang Yue how Wuliangye was brewed?
This was just a small recipe to make money, and Wang Yue had nothing to hide from Shouhua, so he directly told Shouhua how to brew Wuliangye.
Shouhua watched the entire process of Wang Yue's production with his own eyes, and over the next few days, he watched the wine slowly ferment and take shape.
When the wine was ready to drink, she scooped up a little bit with a wooden spoon and put it to her lips to taste it.
After tasting the fragrant and mellow wine, Shouhua couldn't help but widen his eyes. This wine was different from most of the wines nowadays. After drinking it, he felt warm and comfortable all over.
She quickly filled a pot with wine and then sealed the jar. She hurriedly found Wang Yue and after getting Wang Yue's permission, she arranged for someone to call Kang Ning.
It was under such circumstances that Kang Ning hurried to Wang Yue's house. She didn't know what had happened, so she asked anxiously as soon as they met, "Sister, what's the big deal here? It's so urgent, are you pregnant?"
Shouhua was indeed pregnant, but she hadn't announced the good news to her family yet. She knew her sister was teasing her on purpose, so she glared at her sister angrily, and then said unhappily, "I thought of you first when I had something good to do, but you teased me. I can't keep this sister!"
Kang Ning knew that his elder sister would not be angry with him, so he said indifferently, "Eldest sister, you are not young anymore. As long as your elder brother-in-law doesn't mind, you can give birth to a illegitimate son in advance. This will only be good for you."
She was also preparing to get married, so many things were already clear to her. She knew that as long as she had a concubine's eldest son, it would be a win-win situation.
On the one hand, it can ensure Shouhua's status in Wang Yue's family, and on the other hand, it can prevent Wang Yue from marrying a wife with a particularly high status.
After all, those people from aristocratic families, as long as they love their daughters a little, would never let their daughters marry a man who takes a concubine and has children before marrying a wife.
Shouhua was of course aware of her sister's plan, so she was worried that Kang Ning would say something inappropriate, so she said very straightforwardly, "Kang Ning, don't bring up the dispute between legitimate and illegitimate children in the future. Your brother-in-law is an extraordinary person, and you will only make it difficult for me to face your brother-in-law."
Kang Ning also knew that he might have been reckless, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. So what did my sister ask me to do?"
Shouhua directly took out a small bottle and gently placed it in front of Kangning, then said with a smile, "I know you often steal wine, why don't you try this."
Corning didn't expect that she would be discovered by her elder sister when she occasionally drank wine secretly, so she stopped pretending and simply picked up the wine bottle, opened the cork and smelled it gently.
She couldn't help but widen her eyes, then picked up the bottle and took a sip.
It’s a pity that although Corning drinks, she only drank fruit wine before and had never drunk anything so spicy, so after drinking a glass of wine, she couldn’t help coughing.
After coughing several times in succession, Corning's face turned red and his chest stopped rising and falling.
However, after calming down, Kang Ning savored the wine carefully, and then said with surprise, "Although women may not like to drink this wine, men will definitely like it, especially those men in the army."
Shouhua saw that Kang Ning understood, so he smiled and said, "I think so too, so I thought I could make a lot of this wine and use it to earn a lot of money."
After hearing this, Kang Ning said uncertainly, "Sister, you know that we cannot brew wine casually, right? Of course, it's okay for us to drink it at home, but if I want to sell it, I have to report it to the government."
How could Shouhua not know this? He smiled and said, "Of course I know this, but have you ever thought about another point? Fanlou has the right to sell wine. As long as we bring Mr. Chai along, we can sell this wine as we please."
Only then did Kang Ning know why her elder sister had called her. It turned out that she wanted to do business with the young master of the Chai family.
She thought this could be done, so she agreed with a smile. However, it was not convenient for her to meet Chai An at the moment, so she could only ask her sister to help discuss it.
The reason why Kang Ning was not convenient to meet Chai An was not for any other reason, because in ancient times a man and a woman who were about to get married could not meet each other before marriage, and it would be considered unlucky if they met.
Shouhua certainly wouldn't let his sister be embarrassed, so he ordered the butler to arrange for someone to invite someone.
What Shouhua didn't expect was that as soon as Butler Wang left the house, people from the Five Cities Military Department came over.
The leading soldier looked very arrogant and said, "Let Chief Wang come out to see me!"
