After I lost my job, I started to get rich from plane trading.

Li Shouyuan felt "at peace" for a while after that banquet, as if he was just pulling a string.

But here, Emperor Ming looked at the people kneeling at the steps with an unclear expression.

"You mean, that merchant made a deal with Jing Zhaoyin?" He asked in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, I heard it with my own ears." The kneeling man did not dare to raise his head and was staring at the ground to answer.

"Is there anything unusual about that outsider?" He was talking about Li Shouyuan.

Li Shouyuan's identity was only acceptable on the surface, but it was still easy to know that he was an outsider.

"Your Majesty, there is nothing unusual. I just spent a lot of money given by merchants." The man replied.

"Does he have extraordinary abilities?" Emperor Ming asked.

"I haven't fought before, so I'm not sure about my skills, but we used medicine before, and he didn't notice it. From the pulse we found, he was a martial arts practitioner, and his kung fu was not bad." When he answered this, he was very sure.

He was very sure that Li Shouyuan fell into a coma at that time. After all, no martial artist would let others check his pulse at will. If he were not careful, he would be dead.

Therefore, he was very sure of Li Shouyuan's condition at that time.

"Okay, I understand, you can go back." Emperor Ming waved his hand and asked him to retreat.

The people at the bottom of the steps stood up, saluted Emperor Ming, and then slowly retreated.

The afterglow of the setting sun fell on him and illuminated his face clearly.

If Li Shouyuan was here at this time, he would be surprised to find that this person was the restaurant owner who led them there.

No one knows that the "leading industries" in Xuancheng are almost all the territory of Emperor Ming, and restaurants, where people from all religions and professions come and go, are certainly no exception.

Emperor Ming seemed to be in a daze, but he was able to stand out among a group of outstanding princes, which shows that his character, ability, and means were all good.

At the beginning, he relied on these acquired properties to infiltrate his people into all walks of life, obtained more information than other brothers, and made preparations in advance.

This time, he had no intention of getting involved in Jing Zhaoyin's affairs. After all, it was normal for his officials to enjoy some favors, but this time the person in charge took the initiative to send a message and mentioned this matter.

After hearing the news, he was shocked and angry.

The previous battle with Feng Lan had made him very angry, but this time he actually had his sons in mind.

He endured hardship when he was the legitimate heir, so he had few heirs. He had a fatherly heart for every child, especially the second child. Since he had no biological mother to accompany him and no maternal clan, he couldn't help but prefer the others.

Therefore, he must not let his children become tools for others to exercise power.

Looking at the jade seal in front of him, a ruthless look flashed in Emperor Ming's eyes.

Different from his submissive attitude in front of Emperor Ming, the restaurant owner had a very cruel look on his face after he left the palace and returned to his own territory.

It was getting late, candles were lit in the room, the little maid knelt beside his legs to massage him, and two beauties behind him were fanning him.

However, his relaxation time did not last long.

"Boom, boom, boom"

"Come in." He responded casually.

"Father, there is news from over there." The person who came was his eldest son and his chosen heir.

When the eldest young master came in, several maids withdrew with a wink, and even closed the door.

"What did you say?" He said slowly.

"I'm asking about what you discussed last time... do you think?" The young man was still undecided and was waiting for his father to speak.

"Go and tell him that what happened last time is done and I want to see the reward as soon as possible. In addition, I have news here to see if he is interested." He spoke and told his son to do the work.

The two father and son discussed in the room until late at night before they stopped. That night, a three- or four-year-old beggar left the house and quietly entered the second prince's mansion with news about his master...
