Chapter 144: 144. Ivy Chamber of Commerce
Chapter 144 144. Ivy Chamber of Commerce
At midnight the next day, the guards who changed shifts went to the dungeon for a routine inspection.
They saw the iron bars that had been torn apart and the empty cells.
The guard's legs went weak, he staggered out and told the matter to the minister of Dali Temple.
In less than a moment of burning incense, Ke Yuandong, the minister of Dali Temple, knelt in front of Emperor Shao and told the story with a face ashen as dust.
Shao Huang broke the brush with a click, stood up, and threw the inkstone onto Ke Yuandong's head, causing his head to bleed immediately.
Emperor Shao said angrily: "You can't even hold back a South Vietnamese proton, so what's the use of you! Why don't you hurry up and search for him!"
"I'll do it now." Ke Yuandong was so dazed that he even stood up unsteadily.
Emperor Shao frowned and said, "Wait a minute, how did the thief get the key? Is there a traitor in your Dali Temple?"
Ke Yuandong took a breath and said hurriedly: "The lock is still intact, but the fence has been opened by the thief in an unknown way, and it has become bent."
It was obviously true, but Ke Yuandong's voice became softer and quieter as he spoke, because even he couldn't believe it, and even suspected that his memory was confused.
Unexpectedly, Shaohuang nodded slightly, showing a thoughtful look. After calming down, he said: "Stop searching. Now a large-scale search will disturb people's hearts."
Then he looked at Ke Yuandong and said: "This matter is the dereliction of duty of your Dali Temple. The South Vietnamese proton will be beheaded in public at noon today. I don't care what method you use, just handle this matter well."
"Yes," Ke Yuandong kowtowed and agreed, already knowing His Majesty's thoughts.
After leaving the palace, he ordered: "Find a death row prisoner who is about the same size as the South Vietnamese proton to pretend to be him, with an inconspicuous identity."
The guard was stunned for a second, then he randomly bowed his head and went to the dungeon to pick an unlucky guy.
At a quarter past noon, the dirty death row prisoner lost his head in the excitement of the crowd.
Tang Jian looked at the crowd with confusion. He already knew that the person was not Guan Bolan, so he naturally did not need to order his subordinates to pick up the head.
In the high attic of the palace, Emperor Shao looked at the dramatic scene on the beheading stage and murmured expressionlessly: "I can no longer control this country."
Li Fu hurriedly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty is the destined emperor, and everything in Dashao will be at your Majesty's command."
"Really?" Emperor Shao said coldly: "But my second prince was killed in this palace, the palace was broke into unscrupulously, and now the South Vietnamese proton has also escaped under his nose."
"Even the red baby, which had disappeared for nearly twenty years, reappeared, causing harm to countless people on the border."
Li Fu was speechless. He buried his head in thought and said, "Maybe it's really the demon star that is causing trouble."
Emperor Shao was stunned for a moment, sneered, and continued: "Even you were bewitched by those pranksters from Tianshi Temple."
Even so, he really lacked confidence and couldn't help but start to have doubts in the back of his mind.
Li Fu did not dare to speak. He knew that His Majesty hated the Tianshi Temple the most. In the past year, the Tianshi had been relieving the people in the villages in the city. His Majesty ordered people to block the news to prevent the Tianshi from becoming famous.
On the other side, Yun Yao was at home mending the long gown that was torn yesterday, when he suddenly found a familiar vine logo on the side of the table, which was exactly the same as the one on the silver medal.
She said she had seen it somewhere, and it turned out to be here.
Hei Dan's incessant cry came from outside the door. Yun Yao went over to check and found that it had no water to drink, so Yun Yao went to the water tank to scoop water for it.
Then she discovered that there was a vine logo on the water tank, as well as on Black Egg's small water basin.
Yun Yao touched his head, showing a hint of shock.
You really can’t see it when you’re not paying attention, but you’ll find it everywhere when you pay attention.
She began to search everywhere at home, and found that this sign was almost everywhere, including wardrobes, shoe cabinets, lockers, shoe soles, pot bottoms, basin bottoms, spoons, chopsticks, and sheets, covering almost every aspect of life.
Yun Yao's jaw dropped in shock. She had bought all these things by herself on the streets, so how could they all become the same brand?
Clutching the small silver medal, she ran out quickly and ran to a nearby porcelain shop, where she had bought the bowls and chopsticks.
The waiter came forward to greet him warmly. Yun Yao didn't say anything, but took out the small sign.
The waiter immediately bowed and said: "My boss."
The boss heard the sound and came over quickly. When he saw the sign, he respectfully called out: "My boss."
Yun Yao asked dumbly: "How much do you know about this silver medal?"
The boss said: "It's confusing outside. Girl, please come in and talk to me."
Yun Yao and the boss came to the inner room. The boss served tea, sat down and said, "This is the card of the Ivy Chamber of Commerce. It's the only one. Mr. Guan has ordered that whoever holds it will be the boss."
Yunyao nodded understandingly and asked: "Which stores belong to this chamber of commerce?"
"A lot." The boss said bluntly: "On this street alone, you can see everything sold, but there are only one or two newly opened stores that have not been acquired by Guan Gongzi. In the entire Kyoto, there is not a single copper who is a member of the Chamber of Commerce.
Touched."
"This" Yun Yao didn't expect Guan Bolan to give her such an important thing. It was hot to hold.
The boss smiled and said: "Girl, there is no need to be burdened. This chamber of commerce is just a prank created by Mr. Guan. Girls can just accept it with peace of mind."
Yun Yao raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where is the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce?"
There must be somewhere to take care of such a huge and scattered area.
The boss gave an address and said: "When my son was seriously ill, Mr. Guan saved us with money and made me the owner of this shop. Many people in this chamber of commerce are like me. Mr. Guan is our benefactor.
Now that he has appointed a girl, we will follow her to do things wholeheartedly."
Yunyao nodded in admiration, said goodbye to his boss, and walked alone on the way to the chamber of commerce headquarters.
No wonder Guan Bolan is running around. How can he endure the humiliation and bear the burden? He is so calm and relaxed.
For such a large chamber of commerce, if he wanted to, he could mess up Kyoto with just a few clicks of his fingers.
When Yun Yao came to the address given by his boss, he thought he had gone to the wrong address, because in front of him was a dilapidated house that had not been lived in for a long time.
But there were no more decent buildings around, so Yun Yao knocked on the door uncertainly, trying to wait for a response from inside.
After a while, an extremely haggard man who seemed to have crawled out of hell slowly opened the door, revealing a white face that was alluring.
"Uh" The man seemed to be unable to stand still. He made a strange noise first and raised his head stiffly like a zombie. Seeing that the person who came was a beautiful woman who looked like a fairy, he subconsciously smoothed his messy hair.
With this stroke, I directly touched a large amount.
The man's eyes widened, he exclaimed and fainted.
Yun Yao was startled, and hurriedly supported him and took him to a side room. He was shocked by the scene in front of him.
I saw words everywhere in this house, on the walls and on the floor. In addition to the papers scattered on the floor, there were dense numbers, which seemed to have an artistic feel.
