Chapter 49: What the Aristocratic Family Cares About
Soon, more than thirty people were executed .
Qin Wenyuan looked at the pool of blood on the ground, his eyes remained calm and composed as usual.
It was very strange. The scene was extremely bloody. Logically speaking, it was not something a 17 or 18-year-old boy could face calmly.
But Qin Wenyuan was too calm!
Cheng Yaojin had been observing Qin Wenyuan all along, and now, he felt even more that Qin Wenyuan had an extraordinary background.
I am afraid……
My identity is not as simple as the officials and His Majesty say.
At this moment, Qin Wenyuan walked up to Lu Qian and said with a faint smile: "Congratulations to Boss Lu for putting justice above personal interests and eradicating these scums from Ruyi Tea Shop."
"But, will there be any omissions? Assassins, you are not protecting anyone, right?"
Lu Qian suppressed his discomfort and said with a smile: "Boss Qin, you are joking. These people dared to assassinate Duke Lu. Even if I had hundreds of courage, I would not dare to shield them."
Hearing this, Qin Wenyuan didn't care.
Anyway, his goal of this trip has been perfectly accomplished.
It didn’t matter to him whether Lu Qian was sheltering other assassins or not.
They are just some assassins. Whether Lu Qian has one more or one less person will not affect the overall situation at all.
The reason I brought it up was just to warn Lu Qian.
Qin Wenyuan smiled calmly and continued, "Since the assassins have been dealt with, then..."
"Master Cheng, and Boss Lu, shall we continue this banquet ?"
The words fell.
Cheng Yaojin and Lu Qian shook their heads at the same time.
Are you kidding? After killing so many people, who would still have the heart to eat in such a scene?
Cheng Yaojin is fine, after all, that's how he helped Li Shimin conquer the world in his early years, but he is afraid that Lu Qian will come up with other ideas!
So, with the decision of Cheng Yaojin and Lu Qian, the banquet came to an end.
Before leaving, Qin Wenyuan came to Lu Qian and said meaningfully, "Boss Lu, this is just an appetizer. I am repaying you for your hospitality to me a few days ago."
Lu Qian was stunned for a moment, his face still pale, and asked nervously: "What does this mean? What did you do?!"
Qin Wenyuan laughed loudly, "Boss Lu, please pay more attention to Bingzhou when you have time. I believe you will get some unexpected news."
After saying that, Cheng Yaojin and Qin Wenyuan left Ruyi Tea Shop together.
After they left, Lu Qian finally couldn't hold on any longer, and he sat down on the ground with trembling legs.
"Master!" Li Xiaoran ran over quickly with his confidants.
Lu Qian pushed away Li Xiaoran's attempt to pull him up, stared at the door of Ruyi Tea House, and said angrily: "Qin Wenyuan, you and I... cannot coexist!!"
After the angry shouting, Lu Qian thought of Qin Wenyuan's ill intentions just now, and ordered: "Master, go find someone to check what happened in Bingzhou!"
"Remember, be quick!!"
Li Xiaoran nodded, "I understand, Master."
…
In front of Ruyi Tea Shop.
Cheng Yaojin and Qin Wenyuan walked side by side, while Xu Gou, Deputy General Lin and others were following behind them.
Cheng Yaojin glanced at Qin Wenyuan and asked seriously, "Mr. Qin, how did you find out about the assassination at Ruyi Tea House today?"
He was so curious about this question!
Qin Wenyuan smiled and said, "Master Cheng, it's just a little intuition."
intuition?
You are so...
Do you think I'm a fool?!
The corner of Cheng Yaojin's mouth twitched. If Qin Wenyuan didn't say anything, there was nothing he could do!
You can't just grab him by the collar and threaten him directly, right?
In that case, Qin Wenyuan would not need to retaliate. I'm afraid that Changle, who is protecting her husband, would cause trouble for Cheng Yaojin tonight.
Cheng Yaojin groaned and continued, "Then...if I hadn't come today, how would Master Qin deal with so many assassins with only one guard?"
"Are you going to do it right away?"
Qin Wenyuan heard this and said mysteriously: "Who knows about this?"
"Master Cheng, I, Qin, only believe that there is always a way out, and when you reach the mountain, there must be a way out."
Hearing this, Cheng Yaojin knew that he and Qin Wenyuan were no longer the same kind of people.
Just playing dumb, nothing can be answered!!
I originally wanted to ask what Qin Wenyuan did in Bingzhou, but now I’m too lazy to ask.
Because I know asking will not give any result!!
So he found a reason and broke up with Qin Wenyuan.
After Cheng Yaojin left, Qin Wenyuan took the dog and prepared to return to Baiyun County.
Because they knew it was the Hongmen Banquet today, Qin Wenyuan asked his wife Changle to stay at home and wait for him to finish his visit before going back.
If he let Changle stay in Changyuan Tea House, he was afraid that his wife would do something unexpected since they were in Chang'an.
So, as soon as he left Ruyi Tea Shop, Qin Wenyuan didn't even go back to his own shop. He just wanted to go home and say hello to his wife.
Anyway, Hu Guang is looking after the store in the long run, so he feels relieved!
Along the way, Qin Wenyuan and Xu Gou were silent and just walked quietly.
It was not until they left Chang'an and walked on the country road that Xu Gou stepped forward and said, "Master, why... why did you miss such a good opportunity today?"
Qin Wenyuan raised his eyebrows, "What opportunity?"
Xu Gou sighed and continued, "Today, we didn't know that Duke Lu would come to visit Ruyi Tea Shop."
"Master Cheng is visiting today. If we keep biting Lu Qian, then... even if Lu Qian is from the Lu family, I'm afraid he will have to pay a price, right?"
"It wouldn't be as lightly treated as it is now, with only a few dozen unrelated people dead."
“Master…Are you afraid of angering the Lu family and causing them to send more people to deal with us?”
"But if we are afraid of this, then we have offended the Lu family now. Why should we kill dozens of unrelated people and then offend Lu Qian and completely offend the Lu family?"
"Since he has already offended me, why not just go all the way and make Lu Qian suffer as well! Why are you making excuses for Lu Qian?"
The Dog was very confused.
He didn't understand Qin Wenyuan's behavior, but from the tone of his voice, he knew, like Qin Wenyuan, that there was an assassin in the Lu family!
Qin Wenyuan smiled and said, "So that's what happened."
"Xu Gou, what do you think we should do first if we have an opponent?"
Xu Gou thought for a moment and replied, "You have to understand the enemy first."
Qin Wenyuan nodded, "Not bad."
"To understand a person, you must comprehensively analyze his situation, his origin, background, and the environment he lives in, so as to determine what interests are most important to this person."
"Lu Qian is from the Five Surnames and Seven Prominences family, and he is also the helmsman of Ruyi Tea Shop. It can be said that his own interests and those of Ruyi Tea Shop are in a symbiotic relationship."
"Let's not talk about him for now. Let's talk about the aristocratic families first. For the aristocratic families, fame, influence, and status are what they care about most."
"And this status, Dog, do you know how they came to be?"
