After listening to him, Zhao Yi's expression changed slightly. He asked, "Brother Li, you're leaving?"
Li Yi nodded and said, "I've been away from home for too long. It's time for me to go back."
Zhao Yi was silent for a while and said, "Don't worry and leave. I'll help take care of the Lin family. However, Brother Li, you have to think this through. Zhao Yi's favor is far more than this."
"One can't be too greedy. If I wanted tens of millions of liang of silver and Feng Zhou, you wouldn't give it to me, would you?" Li Yi smiled and raised his head. He waved his hand at the people behind Zhao Yi and said, "Come, Brother Xiuwen, Brother Yanzhou, don't just stand there. Sit down and eat …"
Yang Yanzhou and Zhao Xiuwen glanced at Zhao Yi. Seeing him nod, they sat on either side of him.
"A few days ago, the poems that were circulating in Feng Zhou were written by Brother Li, right?" Ever since Li Yi appeared, Zhao Xiuwen's gaze rarely left his face. After he sat down, this was the first thing he asked.
Li Yi waved his hand and denied, "It was written by Brother Qian."
Business was all about integrity. Money and goods were cleared. Those poems had nothing to do with him now that they were out of his hands … in fact, they had nothing to do with him in the first place.
After Zhao Xiuwen asked that question, he realized he had asked a pointless question.
Since he had seen him here, there was no need to argue about who the poems belonged to.
Li Yi ate two mouthfuls of food and looked at Yang Yanzhou with some surprise. He asked, "When did the foremost scholar of Qing 'an Prefecture come to the Qi Kingdom?"
"In front of Brother Li, it's best not to mention anything about being the foremost scholar." Yang Yanzhou smiled and said, "Besides, Yanzhou was born in the Qi Kingdom and grew up in the Qi Kingdom. I'm just returning home from a faraway trip."
Li Yi nodded and looked at Zhao Yi. "Oh right, I didn't cause any trouble for His Highness this time, did I?"
Zhao Yi shook his head and said, "If this is considered trouble, then the more trouble the better."
If one were to look at the entire Qi Kingdom, the debit and credit method and the matter of the Guilty Silver were indeed like two huge stones thrown into a calm lake, stirring up quite a storm.
This storm did not only exist in Feng Province and the capital. It was now spreading to even more places.
Moreover, the effects of these two incidents were far less significant. Although the waves had calmed, the undercurrents at the bottom of the lake had been thrown into even greater disarray by these two boulders. It was still unknown what the outcome of this trip to the capital would be.
Zhao Yi raised his head and looked at the opposite side. The source of all these things was that he had casually done something in Feng Zhou City …
Although this matter would be of great help to him, a person who could single-handedly cause chaos in a country was truly terrifying.
With the help of such a person, a mere country would be nothing. One day, he might even become the ruler of the world …
Li Yi looked up at Zhao Yi and said, "Brother Zhao, why are you still in a daze? Let's eat …"
…
At the entrance of the Qian Family's restaurant, Li Yi cupped his hands in obeisance to Zhao Yi and said, "After this farewell, I don't know when we will meet again. Brother Zhao, take care!"
Zhao Yi also cupped his hands in obeisance. "Brother Li, take care."
Qian Duoduo, who was behind the crowd, was firmly held down by the Money God. As he watched the figure disappear, he became dejected.
In front of them, Yang Yanzhou withdrew his gaze and asked, "Your Highness, why didn't you keep him?"
"We couldn't keep him …"
Behind Zhao Yi, the middle-aged scholar breathed a sigh of relief and sighed. "Even His Majesty doesn't have such a grand entourage to accompany and protect him. How could we keep him?"
Zhao Yi shook his head and said, "How can forcing him to stay be better than being willing?"
Yang Yanzhou said, "Given his character, how could he stay in the Qi Kingdom willingly?"
"Soon." Zhao Yi shook his head and said, "Early this morning, I received a messenger from Jingdou on horseback. The Emperor of the Jing Kingdom hasn't been to court for half a month …"
Yang Yanzhou was stunned and asked, "Is the Jing Kingdom going to change?"
Zhao Yi nodded and said, "I'm afraid it's going to happen soon …"
Yang Yanzhou thought for a moment and said, "But we haven't gotten the 'Divine Punishment' yet."
"The Qi Kingdom hasn't been decided yet. It's too early. Even if we get the secret recipe, I'm afraid there will be more trouble," Zhao Yi looked back at the Money God and said, "Do you know the Lin family in Feng Province?"
Money God was confused and said, "There are many Lin family in Feng Province. Which one are you talking about, Your Highness?"
Zhao Yi thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be a jewelry business."
Money God scratched his head and said, "I seem to have a little impression of it …"
…
"Do you want to pack your things when you go back, in case it's too late to leave?"
This was the third time the sloppy old man had asked in a roundabout way. Li Yi tilted his head to look at him and said, "I'm sure. We'll leave tomorrow. Xu, if you have any other questions, just ask them now."
The sloppy old man waved his hand and said, "I'm just asking casually. There's nothing urgent. It won't be too late to postpone it for another two days."
"Then postpone it for another day." Li Yi thought for a moment and said, "Tomorrow is a little rushed. It's not easy to go if it's too late. It's better to set off in the morning the day after tomorrow."
The sloppy old man was stunned and said, "It doesn't matter if we travel at night. We're all people in the martial arts world. It's normal to travel at night. It doesn't matter …"
"It doesn't matter?"
"It really doesn't matter …"
…
Sitting in the yard, Lin Yong looked into the kitchen and asked, "Li Brothers, who were those people who came here just now?"
Li Yi did not answer. He brought out several dishes from the kitchen one after another. After the last soup was out of the pot, he sat down opposite Lin Yong and said, "Eat it. There's still one more in the kitchen. When you go there later, give it to Miss Lin."
Lin Yong looked at the food on the table. The fragrance assailed his nostrils. He swallowed his saliva and looked at Li Yi. He asked, "What day is it today? Why is it so sumptuous?"
Li Yi waved his hand and said, "Eat it."
Lin Yong looked at him and asked, "Don't you want to send one to Miss Liu?"
Li Yi shook his head and said, "She's out. She won't eat at home today."
Lin Yong looked around and asked, "Where's the old man?"
"Let's eat. Don't talk so much nonsense." Li Yi glanced at him, picked up the chopsticks, and ate by himself.
Lin Yong said as he filled a bowl of soup for himself, "To be honest, Li Brothers, I've never seen a man cook so well. I've never seen a woman cook so well. I can't even eat the food that my husband cooks now. And my Miss, my Miss doesn't know how to cook at all. I'm thinking, a woman who can't even cook, who will marry her in the future …"
"Ahem!" Li Yi coughed softly.
"What's wrong? Are you choking?" Lin Yong raised his head to look at him, then scooped another bowl of soup for himself. Pressing down on the small mountain of soup in the bowl, he said, "Eat slowly, I won't fight with you over it … Right, where were we just now?"
Li Yi reminded him, "We were talking about your husband's cooking is not good."
"No, I think we were talking about my Miss." Lin Yong shook his head and said, "My Miss is not like a woman at all. Not to mention that she can't cook, she's so powerful. Everyone in the Lin family is not afraid of her. In my opinion, women can't be too powerful. If they are too powerful, they won't be able to marry, no matter how beautiful they are …"
"Ahem!" Li Yi coughed again.
"I told you to eat slowly. Come, have some soup … Oh, there's no more soup."
Lin Yong waved his hand and said, "In fact, without Miss Liu, I think you and my Miss are the best match. Miss will do the work of earning money and supporting the family. You can live off a woman at home. No, you can cook at home and recite poems. Miss also likes these things. That's great. I won't worry about her marriage …"
Lin Wanru stood behind him and said apologetically, "I've made you worry."
Lin Yong looked back and said, "We're family. Don't be so polite. I've watched you grow up …"
Then he looked back at Li Yi and said, "Li Brothers, what did you say just now? You're going out to find Miss Liu for dinner, right? I'll go right away …"
Before he finished speaking, he had already put down his chopsticks and strode outside.
Li Yi made a helpless gesture and said, "You know, he's like this. Don't mind him."
"He's been so outspoken for so many years. I'm used to it." Lin Wanru nodded and looked at him and said, "Tomorrow morning, the Lin family will hold a banquet. The shopkeepers of several shops and people from the business will go. Remember to come."
Li Yi nodded and said, "Got it."
"I'll ask Brother Lin to pick you up tomorrow." Lin Wanru said and turned to leave. When she reached the door, she turned back.
"Is there anything else?" Li Yi looked at her and asked.
Lin Wanru pointed to the kitchen and said, "These are my dishes. Bring them there yourself."
