Lai Feng Brothel.
The largest restaurant in Chang 'an City.
At this time, the most expensive private room on the second floor of Lai Feng Brothel had been booked by Wei Zheng himself.
Although he really didn't have any money, in order to solve the mystery in his heart, he 'borrowed' five hundred taels of silver from the emperor last night. This could be considered as an excuse for him to reject the marriage because he didn't want to owe the emperor too much.
At this time.
In the Summer Hall on the second floor of Lai Feng Brothel.
Wei Zheng raised his wine cup and said with a bright smile, "Come, come, come, everyone. Let's raise this cup together! Let's celebrate the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty! "
After drinking.
Everyone looked at the dishes on the table and frowned.
Although there were only Cheng Yaojin, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Zhangsun Wuji on the table at this time, the dishes were too bad, weren't they?
This Lai Feng Brothel looked high-end, but they only served braised tofu and stir-fried meat with bamboo shoots. Was it appropriate?
Was it appropriate?
However, everyone also knew that Wei Zheng was a stingy person. If Wei Zheng was willing to pay for a meal, it must be something important!
After three rounds of wine.
Wei Zheng approached Cheng Yaojin with a red face.
"Brother Yaojin, I want to ask you something!"
Here it comes!
It's finally here!
Everyone couldn't help but pricked up their ears and listened quietly.
"Last night, I heard the Emperor praising the little brother named Zhang Feng. I also know that Brother Yaojin and Zhangsun accompanied the Emperor out of the palace and saw this person. I want to ask, who is this person?"
Understood!
He wanted to ask about Zhang Feng!
Cheng Yaojin patted Wei Zheng on the shoulder, "Hey! I thought it was something important! This is it! You've asked the right person. Speaking of which, Shopkeeper Little Zhang is not only a man of striking appearance, he's also a genius. Can you guess how Brother Little Zhang found out about the locust plague? "
"How?"
Everyone could not help but be curious.
With a wave of his hand, Cheng Yaojin picked up the wine jug and gulped down a few mouthfuls of wine. He smacked his lips and said, "Brother Little Zhang guessed!"
"Tch —!"
"I say, Blackie, can't you come up with something more reliable? I've always been curious. How did a small shopkeeper find out about the news after it was sealed? "
Fang Xuanling asked as he stroked his white beard.
"We only found out about this after paying a huge price. How did he find out about it? Could it be that he's proficient in divination? "
"Wrong!"
Cheng Yaojin was in high spirits. It was rare for him to be so pretentious. "About that! It was a long story! "You didn't see the scene at that time. Shopkeeper Zhang Junior's mouth! Tsk tsk … "
"Stop clucking and spit it out!"
Seeing Cheng Yaojin pick up the wine jug and gulp it down, Wei Zheng snatched it from him.
Cheng Yaojin smacked his lips and shook his head. "It's still not as good as Shopkeeper Zhang Junior's wine!"
"Let's cut the crap. Listen up!"
Cheng Yaojin's face flushed red. He looked around with his leopard eyes.
"Take a guess. How did His Majesty look at that time?"
"That guy's mouth! His Majesty and I were both shocked. Do you know? Shopkeeper Zhang Junior only found out about it from the subtle details in the market! "
"What?!"
"Impossible!"
"Even if he has eyes and ears, Longyou Road is at least a thousand miles away from Chang 'an City. How did he know about the drought?"
"And we tried our best to cover it up. Very few people know about it. Besides, how could he find out about it from the market?"
"Are you trying to trick us, Ol 'Hei?"
Everyone was shocked. They had the same expression as Li Shimin and Cheng Yaojin when they heard the news.
How could there be such a thing?
At this moment, Zhang Feng's identity became increasingly mysterious in the hearts of the crowd.
What kind of talent would have such wisdom?
"But you're wrong!"
Cheng Yaojin mysteriously interrupted the crowd while they were letting their imaginations run wild.
"Brother Zhang Feng was able to accurately guess all of this just by comparing the prices of the products from the north and south, as well as the quantity!"
"Hiss —!"
"F * ck!"
"How … How is that possible?"
Everyone was shocked again.
He could predict the drought from the market prices!
What kind of genius was that?
But!
That was not enough to prove his talent!
Wei Zheng pondered for a while and carefully sorted out Cheng Yaojin's words. He said, "Ol 'Hei, although everything you said can indeed prove this point, how did Brother Zhang Feng know about the locust plague?"
"He's just a market owner. Firstly, he has a powerful master to teach him. Secondly, he's not a Taoist or Confucian expert. How did he know about the locust plague?"
"Ol 'Hei! This is a serious matter. You have to think about it carefully! Think about it carefully. How did Zhang Feng know about the locust plague? "
Everyone's expression could not help but become solemn.
Cheng Yaojin was stunned.
He hiccupped.
"Do I even need to think about it carefully?"
"This matter was originally guessed by the little shopkeeper from these things and natural phenomena!"
"…"
