Chapter 2097 Guo Zhang and Bao Zheng

The main store with this kind of name can be seen everywhere in the Song Dynasty. Because there are not so many restrictions and literary inquisitions, the main store with arrogant names such as Yige, Dakou, and Taiyige are almost all over the streets.

No such vulgar names are used in the slightly higher-end places in the Shendu City, but are used with extremely elegant names such as "clear and winding paths" and "breaking plums and planting willows".

But the difference between a pavilion is that the people who come and go. The restaurant is actually a square courtyard with a doorstep, but the place behind is very large, especially the courtyard, which is winding and secluded. People who have never been there don’t know there is another hole.

There is a secret door behind the courtyard, connecting more courtyards and connected with more courtyards in all directions. These courtyards have no rules to follow, and some of them are simply other families.

There are also secret doors connected in these courtyards, and only those who know can pass through them one by one. It can be said that it is like a maze. If the person who doesn't know cannot reach the core.

The people who come and go to Yige are all low-key people who can't be more low-key. They travel around in Yanju clothes, which is far from the merchants who used to be furnished with gorgeous clothes and servants.

Everyone knows that Yige is a store that entertains merchants and other places, but not all the people who come and go are merchants. They also do business. Moreover, because the dishes here are good, the taste is good, and the prices are fair, the people are flocking to it, but the only disadvantage is that they can only eat in the front hall, or climb the stairs to eat on the second and third floors.

Such a store is not counted in the past, but it is just a place where people can't make any moves in the current Shendu City. Countless people suggest that the shopkeeper Ma Zhan expand the scale of the store. After all, it would be a pity not to do such a good business.

But every time Ma Zhan smiled and refused, the reason was very simple, that was he was afraid of smashing the signboard, which was puzzled.

After asking, Ma Zhan smiled bitterly and said the truth: "In fact, it is not difficult to make delicious food. As long as you are willing to spend time and have real ingredients, you will not be bad. And if I expand the surface of the tomb, although there are more customers, the speed of supplying materials will definitely not be able to keep up with it. The customers are anxious, and my store is also anxious. Over time, it will inevitably become negligent. If the reputation is broken, no one will come again."

It makes sense for everyone to listen to it. After a long time, no one will mention this matter again. This seems to be a simple truth, but in fact it is not tenable. If there are too many customers, just hire a few more chefs. How difficult is it to expand the scale of the kitchen?

But no one would think about this issue, so Yige's store is still as narrow as before.

However, the backyard here is still mysterious, and few people can go there to have dinner. Occasionally, people who come here look like a powerful family. Others may not be able to see it, but ordinary people are most familiar with this kind of person.

Because only the nobles living in Dongcheng have such a high-ranking aura that exudes a high-ranking aura. These people seem to be extremely humble and even greet Ma Zhan. But everyone knows that this is the feeling of a boss talking to a friend.

The common people may not know much, but their feelings are not wrong. These people are indeed the masters of Ma Zhan, and they are the behind-the-scenes owners of major businesses.

Of course, there is no mistake in Wang Mengzheng's news. He used to be a guest of honor in a pavilion, but he came to his senses after the incident of Wang Qixiong. These people only have the interests in their eyes, but they have no so-called friendship and kindness at all.

After Wang Qixiong provoked the troubles of the Song and Liao borders, Wang Mengzheng was not worried. He believed that such a huge interest group was fully capable of helping Wang Qixiong eliminate disasters, but in fact he found that the Wang family was ruthlessly abandoned.

Only as the queen's daughter was trying to persuade Wang Qixiong. Even so, the official family still severely punished Wang Qixiong. It was from that time that Wang Mengzheng planned to enjoy the New Year.

But after all, the Wang family still had a huge business name in the Song Dynasty, so the merchants in the interest groups kept persuading Wang Mengzheng, forcing him to continue to deal with these people.

Strangely, in recent years, the business owners of these interest groups have rarely contacted Wang Mengzheng, which is obviously deliberately alienating him. Wang Mengzheng felt quiet and did not take it seriously.

But recently everything in the Shendu City has changed. Ouyang Xiu was slandered and removed from ashes was a reason. When most people could not see the problem, Wang Mengzheng had already discovered it.

These are those common tricks that use another thing that is neither big nor big nor big to block people's sight at that time. It was also at that time that Wang Mengzheng decided to completely make the Wang family a family that is in the same state as the country.

Wang Mengzheng is not stupid. He knows that his grandson is already the crown prince of the Song Dynasty and the future emperor. What else can hesitate about if he is determined?

The time to take the team has arrived. Wang Mengzheng knew that he would choose the emperor's side without hesitation. Choosing the emperor is choosing the future of the Wang family, and choosing the crown prince Zhao Xu.

Besides, which father-in-law does not take care of his son-in-law? Even the emperor is his son-in-law. Although the name is different, this is an ironclad fact that it cannot be changed.

It was because of this ceremonial war that the Wang family dared to play so much. If it were not for the identity of a father-in-law, the entire Wang family would have collapsed eight years ago.

It is not difficult for Wang Mengzheng to betray those wealthy merchants. After all, whether they gave up Wang Qixiong without hesitation, then it is no different to betray them by themselves.

Since you have taken the team, you have to choose to sell out. This is an inevitable thing. Otherwise, how can you make the emperor believe that he is completely on his side? This is the letter of vote paid by the Wang family to the official family.

But what Wang Mengzheng didn't expect most was that he learned from his daughter's letter that the military power of the entire Shendu City was in the hands of Bao Zheng, the chief seal officer of the garrison.

As the top merchant family in the Song Dynasty, the Wang family did not have too many dealings with Bao Zheng, the Sansi envoy.

However, when Wang Meng was sitting in front of Bao Zheng, he still could not connect this old-fashioned old man like a occupant and the garrison chief who held the power of the Shendu military power.

The military power of the garrison is equivalent to controlling the entire Shendu City. The power is so important that it is really inferior to one person and above millions of people. The emperor will actually hand over the power to Bao Zheng without any scruples. This is really surprising. Zheng

"I didn't expect that the famous seal officer of the garrison is actually you Bao Xiren. I'm afraid those people wouldn't have thought of it, right?"

Bao Zheng shook his head: "I didn't expect it, but they must have known it now. No news in the Shendu City can be hidden from them."

"Have the officials returned to the court?"

"I returned to the court and pacified the rebels on Qinghai Road..."

"What?" Wang Mengzheng's face suddenly changed: "Rebels? Is the official tour of Lanzhou to pacify the rebels?"

"It seems you don't know?"

"If I knew it myself, how could I not report to the official?!"
