Tianhe Restaurant.

Located in the most prosperous commercial area in the middle of Tianhe Street, it is the most luxurious restaurant in Hegu City. Only the rich or noble can come here to eat. But even so, Tianhe Restaurant is always crowded with people. The street outside the gate is full of luxuriously decorated carriages.

"Boss, this is the Tianhe Restaurant. How is it? It's lively, right?" Song Yuan said excitedly.

Lin Feng nodded, "It's indeed quite lively, but eating in a place like this is not cheap!"

"Boss, you are a prince, and the entire Hegu City is under your control. You allow us to come here to eat to give face to the Gao family. How dare they charge you money?" Zhang Sheng said.

"Gao family? Zhang Laosan, are you saying that this Tianhe Restaurant is Gao Yanqing's business?"

Zhang Sheng nodded, "Yes! We have captured all the great noble families in Nanyue, and their properties have all been confiscated. Who else could it be except the Gao family!"

Lin Feng nodded, and suddenly felt that the Tianhe Restaurant was not that simple. The war in Hegu City had just ended, and fifty-three large noble families were arrested. These small and medium-sized noble families in the city dared to be so ostentatious. There must be something going on.

Lin Feng immediately decided to go in and find out what was going on. "The four of you remember this. Don't reveal my identity when we go in. How about this? You can call me Prince Wang and follow my instructions."

The four friends nodded in unison and then extended their hands, "Please, Prince Wang!"

Lin Feng nodded and walked straight towards the door of Tianhe Restaurant. His four friends followed him immediately. Bai Shan, who had been following behind the five of them, also hurriedly followed.

Baishan gently gestured with his right hand, and the Tenbei guards behind him understood and immediately dispersed on the spot, dispersing on the busy Tianhe Street.

When a customer arrived, Gao Xiaowu, the waiter of Tianhe Restaurant, immediately came forward to greet him and politely extended his hand toward the door of the restaurant, "Gentlemen, please come in."

Lin Feng nodded and walked in directly. "Hey, buddy, open a private room for us. Bring us whatever delicious food you have."

After Lin Feng finished speaking, he walked directly towards the stairs to the private room on the second floor. Gao Xiaowu saw this and quickly stepped forward to block Lin Feng. "Excuse me, sir, what is your name? Which lord are you representing?"

As soon as Gao Xiaowu said this, Lin Feng immediately understood that there was something fishy going on at the Tianhe Restaurant. He immediately said, "My surname is Wang. The Chief Secretary of the Ministry of Works, Wang Yongnian, is my father."

Wang Yongnian, the Chief Supervisor of the Ministry of Works, once led people to deliver furniture to the Tianren Hall, so Lin Feng knew this person.

Gao Xiaowu nodded and said, "Master Wang, I'm very sorry, but a sixth-rank supervisor can only eat in the lobby. There happens to be an empty table by the window over there. Please come this way, gentlemen."

Under the guidance of Gao Xiaonian, Lin Feng and his group of six quickly came to a seat by the window.

"Six gentlemen, please wait a moment. The food and drinks will be served soon."

After Gao Xiaowu finished speaking, he turned around and left quickly.

Lin Feng smiled and found a chair to sit down. "Brothers, please sit down! Bai Shan, you sit too!"

"Sir, I'd better stand!"

After Bai Shan finished speaking, he came directly behind Lin Feng and stood properly.

As soon as Yang Zhi sat down, he couldn't help but complain: "Brother Wang, this Tianhe Restaurant doesn't even have a maid to pour tea. The service attitude is too bad!"

Lin Feng was about to speak, but unexpectedly, a young scholar sitting at the next table spoke first, "My dear, please speak softly. If what you said just now gets to Master Gao's ears, your one thousand taels will be wasted."

"What? A table of banquet costs one thousand taels, why don't they just rob it?" Zhang Sheng blurted out immediately.

As soon as Zhang Sheng said this, the young men who were eating around him looked at Zhang Sheng, their eyes full of confusion.

The young scholar who had spoken earlier looked at Zhang Sheng, then stood up and walked in front of Lin Feng. "Brother, didn't you know in advance that a table of wine and dinner here would cost one thousand taels of silver?"

Lin Feng nodded, "I don't know! Just now my father suddenly gave me 1,000 taels of silver and asked me to have a meal at the Tianhe Restaurant. He didn't say anything else!"

The young scholar nodded. "I see! No wonder you don't know the rules. My name is Ye Liuyun and I came here to eat at the order of my father. May I know your full names, brothers?"

Lin Feng and his four friends quickly stood up and bowed, "Wang Lin, Li Heng, Zhang Sheng, Yang Zhi, Song Yuan greet Brother Ye."

Ye Liuyun quickly bowed in return, "Ye Liuyun greets all the brothers."

"Brother Ye, is there any unknown rule for dining at Tianhe Restaurant?"

Ye Liuyun nodded, and then sat down next to Lin Feng, "Brother Wang, do you know who owns this Tianhe Restaurant?"

"Of course I know this. It is the property of the Gao family in Qizhou."

"Then do you know why, except for the Gao family of Qizhou, the other fifty-three great noble families were imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison by the Yan army?"

"Brother Ye, the news that the Gao family left the city to surrender to the Yan army has spread all over Hegu City. How could I not know this?"

Ye Liuyun nodded, "So! After the wise king of the Yan army returns to the court, Gao Yanqing, the head of the Gao family, will most likely be the lord of Hegu City. Even if he is not the lord, he will definitely be an important figure with a say."

"Our elders are all remnants of the previous dynasty. If they want to continue to serve as officials in the new dynasty, shouldn't we express our gratitude?"

As soon as Ye Liuyun said this, Lin Feng immediately understood. It turned out that Gao Yanqing was taking the opportunity to make money and accept the protection fees from the civil and military officials of the Yue State!

To be honest, Gao Yanqing's method was indeed clever. Paying for a meal was natural and it was a mutual agreement. Moreover, the people who came to eat were all young people who had nothing to do with officials, so no one would suspect that there was any problem.

If Lin Feng and his four friends hadn't accidentally come in to eat, the people from Jingjiansi would never have discovered such a secret transaction of power and money.

Gao Jialin had embezzled the hard-earned money of the people in the city, and was executed by Murong Zhengming. But the wound had healed and the pain had been forgotten. Only a few days had passed, and the Gao family had started to amass wealth again.

What a great Gao family!

Gao Yanqing, you did a great job!

Lin Feng was originally a little embarrassed about bringing all the core members of the Gao family to Fengyang City. After all, Gao Yanqing had made great contributions by leading his troops out of the city to surrender. Now that the Gao family had run into his trap, Lin Feng naturally would not be polite.

As for those officials who sent their nephews and nephews to eat at Tianhe Restaurant in order to keep their positions, Lin Feng was not going to let them go. Since you are so rich, just hand it all over to the national treasury!

Lin Feng smiled and said, "I see. I thought my family wanted to focus on training me!"

Ye Liuyun nodded, "Who said it wasn't! To be honest with you, when my father handed me the 1,000 taels of silver, I was so excited that I thought I was finally going to make it!"
