Li Quan shook his head and turned back to the inner room. Li Zhen was anxious and followed him and said, "Big sister, how long has it been since you saw your brother-in-law?"

Li Quan sat down and took a sip of tea and said, "A Zhen, you don't understand some things."

"I don't understand anything anymore. Tell me, what happened?" Li Zhen faintly felt that things were not as simple as the eldest sister's wine shop.

Li Quan sat for a long time before sighing: "Short after he came to Luoyang, he mingled with a group of Dunhuang scholars and did not study, saying that studying was useless and had to find a way. Later, I heard that he often drank flower wine with people in brothels. I was so angry that I had a big fight with him and moved to the shop."

Li Zhen couldn't speak and said for a while: "But... my brother-in-law wasn't like this before!"

"This is called knowing people and not being intimate. I have been married to him for several years, but I didn't know that he still likes to drink flower wine. A Zhen, I really regret coming to Luoyang."

Li Zhen advised her again: "But this is not a solution! The eldest sister doesn't care about him, the more he indulges himself, and in the end he can't take his heart back. Sister, you'd better go home and talk to him! Being angry is not a solution."

"I know too, but there is no one in the store at night. The two guys were afraid of being beaten by scoundrels and refused to guard the store at night, so I had to stay and guard the store."

Li Zhen asked again: "Sister, why did the scoundrels harass the wine shop? Have you found the reason?"

He knew that everything was always a reason, and these scoundrels would not harass the wine shop for no reason.

"How come I don't know? Someone took a fancy to the entrance of this wine shop and wanted to drive me away."

"Who is it?"

"It's a local snake in Luoyang. It is said that it is very powerful in Luoyang City. This person opened a tea shop in Nancheng City called Wangchun Tea House. It is not far from here. I have visited them, but their shopkeeper firmly refuses to admit that it is happening."

Li Zhen knew that he had taught these rogues a lesson today, and the other party would definitely use new countermeasures.

This kind of thing cannot be delayed. The more you delay, the more trouble it becomes. He must solve the problem for his sister as soon as possible, otherwise they will be unable to guard against it.

Li Zhen said: "I will go to negotiate with Wangchun Tea House now, and this matter must be resolved immediately."

Li Quan was worried about his safety and hurriedly said, "Why don't my sister go with you."

Li Zhen shook his head, "I'm just going to inquire about the situation first, so I won't have to come forward for the time being!"

.........

Li Zhen came out of the wine shop and walked directly south, with the tea shop and the wine shop two streets away.

Compared with wine shops, tea shops are much smaller in scale, with only five or six shops, which is also related to the fact that drinking tea in the Tang Dynasty has not yet been fully popularized.

Luoyang, both rich and poor, like to drink wine, and drinking tea is only a privilege for wealthy families. First, tea is more expensive, and many people are not used to drinking tea.

Li Zhen searched for two rounds but couldn't see the brand of Wangchun Tea House. He was wondering, my sister shouldn't be wrong. At this time, he found that there was a shop in the middle of the tea house that was not listed, maybe this one.

Li Zhen walked forward quickly and saw a man standing in front of the shop. He was looking up at something. Li Zhen bowed and smiled and said, "Is this Wangchun Tea House?"

“That’s right!”

When the man turned around, both of them were stunned, "Why are you?"

Li Zhen did not expect that he knew the man in front of him. He was the palace guard who was with Gao Yanfu at the time. He seemed to have his last name, and he couldn't remember the specific name.

"So it's Brother Li, when did you come to Luoyang?"

The man was overjoyed and patted Li Zhen on the shoulder, "Don't you remember me? I'm Zhang Xi! I was saved by you with Gao Fujun."

Li Zhen remembered that he was called Zhang Xi and an injured guard named Sun Li. He quickly bowed and said, "It turns out to be Brother Zhang, long time no see!"

Zhang Xi laughed, "I was not in a good mood these two days, but when my brother arrived, I was in a good mood immediately. Come! Come! Let's go in and talk."

He invited Li Zhen to the tea shop. Li Zhen saw the brand of Wangchun Tea House in the store and was a little stunned. Could it be that this Wangchun Tea House is Zhang Xi's property?

"Brother Zhang, is this your shop?"

"That's right! A small shop can barely make a living, please come in soon."

Zhang Xi invited Li Zhen into the shop, sat down in the back room, and asked the guy to have two cups of the best covered hair tips.

Li Zhen was a little embarrassed. If Wangchun Tea House was Zhang Xi's shop, then wouldn't it be sent by Zhang Xi yesterday?

Zhang Xi saw that Li Zhen had something to say, so he smiled and said, "What do you want to say, brother?"

Li Zhen smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not hiding it from Brother Zhang, the Yashi Ice Shop was run by my eldest sister."

"What!"

Zhang Xi jumped up, looking shocked, "Yashiju is... your eldest sister's shop?"

Li Zhen nodded, and Zhang Xi slapped himself twice in the face, "What did I do, I will repay my kindness with you!"

Zhang Xi sat down and said with great apology: "First of all, I want to apologize to my brother. I really don't know that the Yashi Ice Shop was opened by my sister. Otherwise, I would not do such a thing if I beat you to death. I will give my brother an explanation for this matter, and I will compensate my sister for all losses."

Li Zhen waved his hand quickly, "You don't need Brother Zhang to compensate, just let it go if you pass this matter."

Zhang Xi was anxious, "How could it be possible? The birds still know how to hold grass and tie rings, no! I will apologize to Sister Ling now."

"I don't blame anyone who doesn't know. Brother Zhang, don't apologize anymore, otherwise I will feel uneasy."

Zhang Xi felt guilty and moved, and said a long "Oh!", then slowly sat down and explained the situation to Li Zhen.

"This matter had nothing to do with me. Someone took a fancy to your elder sister's shop, so he asked me for help. Unexpectedly, your elder sister has taken over the wine shop now. Don't worry, I will never go to harass the wine shop again. I will apologize to Sister Ling again."

Li Zhen laughed, "It seems that Brother Zhang has a good idea!"

Zhang Xi smiled bitterly and said, "What is the way? People like us have nothing to do with power, but we just know a few local tyrants in the market."

Li Zhen came over with Jian. He wanted Wu to persuade Wangchun Tea House to let go, but he didn't expect to know him. Since Zhang Xi had agreed not to harass him, Li Zhen stood up and smiled and said, "I just arrived in Luoyang yesterday, and there were so many bad things. I'll visit my brother again the next day."

Zhang Xi was not willing to let him go, "Since my brother has come to Luoyang, of course I have to welcome you to me, so as not to delay my brother's major affairs, so I will go and have a drink, but don't say I'm not free."

Li Zhen couldn't help but think that it would be okay to drink a glass of wine, so he had to agree, "Since that's the case, it's better to obey your orders than respect!"

.........

Zhang Xi greeted Li Zhen at the largest Jiangzuo diner in Nanshi City, saying that he only drank a glass of water and wine, but invited more than a dozen friends to accompany him and booked a floor, which made Li Zhen smile bitterly.

"I wouldn't agree if I had known that Brother Zhang was so extravagant."

Zhang Xi smiled, "After all, I am a local snake in Luoyang. I don't have any other skills, but I have many friends. Don't underestimate these people. They are well-known in the area of ​​Nanshi. If my brother wants to do business in Nanshi, they will be really helpless."

Li Zhen was shocked and thought to himself, "Isn't this the underworld of the Tang Dynasty?"

"How is Sun Li now?"

Sun Li was another seriously injured guard who was rescued by Li Zhen. Zhang Xi smiled and said, "He is better than me. He was promoted two days ago. Let's say that! Those who can be guards in the palace have their own ways. If the person you know is in prison, it would be right to look for him."

"He's in charge of prison?"

"He has served as the Chief of Dali and is in charge of the prison. His father has a favor... Do you understand?"

"I understand!"

Everyone was drinking and chatting, and the lobby was very noisy. Zhang Xi waved his hand, "Listen to me!"

The lobby suddenly became quiet. Zhang Xi pointed to Li Zhen and smiled at everyone, "My brother was once my savior Zhang Xi. He just came from Dunhuang yesterday and is planning to develop in Luoyang from now on. I hope you will take care of me for my sake."

"You are polite to Dalang. Your brother is our brother. In a word, just say whatever difficulties you have."

"There is a difficulty now! Nanshi Yashi Ice Shop is opened by my brother and sister. But I, a bastard, revenge and found someone to harass the wine shop. I only found out today.

Alas! I feel ashamed. Please help me with Zhang Xi. Please take care of Yashiju’s business in the future. I will toast you all!"

He picked up the wine bowl and drank it all, and everyone laughed, "A small matter, I will definitely help!"

Li Zhen was moved. It turned out that Zhang Xi welcomed him to take care of his eldest sister's business.

He also picked up the wine bowl and stood up and said, "Dear brothers, Li Zhenchu ​​has come to Luoyang. He doesn't understand the rules. If there is any rudeness, I hope everyone will forgive me. I will toast you for this wine first!"

He also drank the wine, and everyone praised him for his ability to speak. At this time, a young woman in a long purple dress and charming face slowly walked forward with a glass of wine.

She threw Qiu Bo away with her charming eyes and said to Li Zhen in a coquettish voice: "Which of my apprentices can't do things? I have harassed Sister Ling's wine shop. They deserve to be beaten. This wine slave family comes to apologize to Li Shaolang."

Li Zhen was stunned. Those scoundrels were actually the subordinates of this woman, who deserved to be the era of Wu Zetian! Women are so outstanding.

Seeing that the woman was only over 20 years old, he quickly picked up the wine glass and smiled: "May I ask about this eldest sister's surname?"

"I forgot to introduce it."

Zhang Xi stood up and smiled and said, "This beautiful lady is the owner of Nanyuan Martial Arts Hall, nicknamed Zi Qiangwei. Just call her Qiu Niang, you can't tell me! She is one of the best female swordsmen in Luoyang."
