Chapter 202 Enemies meet on a narrow road

Shopkeeper Lu weighed the matter again in his mind.

After a long while, he seemed to have made up his mind: "The people I met these days were all Lord Wang. Before that, Master Qiu also met a few candidates who were preparing for the imperial examination. As for before that, Master Qiu was a businessman. Because the teahouse was only one store away from his Wansheng Rice and Grain Store, he often met his business friends here. There were really all kinds of people here."

"Qiu Yin has been in contact with Wang Ren these days. Is it possible that you know something about what they talked about?" Zhou Chang did not hold out much hope for this question.

Shopkeeper Lu shook his head and said, "I don't know. When Mr. Qiu is talking to guests, he usually sends them away."

Zhou Chang was disappointed, but this was the best useful information he could get. He clasped his fists and said, "Thank you very much."

Shopkeeper Lu breathed a sigh of relief, and while respectfully seeing Zhou Chang off downstairs, he quickly whispered a few instructions to his waiter.

Zhou Chang came downstairs and was about to leave when Shopkeeper Lu stopped him again: "Your Highness Prince Yi, please wait a moment."

"What?" Zhou Chang turned around.

Shopkeeper Lu took a rectangular brocade box from the waiter and presented it with both hands: "Your Highness Prince Yi, this is the 'Golden Tripod Yunmeng' you drank last time. It's not a token of respect, but please accept it."

"No need, I don't drink tea." Zhou Chang didn't intend to accept it. She really didn't like drinking tea, unless it was milk tea.

Shopkeeper Lu went a step further and opened the brocade box himself, presenting it to Zhou Chang: "Your Highness Prince Yi, the teahouse knows very little about the guest's affairs, but Mr. Qiu does have some tea stored in the teahouse."

"Store tea? Are you saying this is also the tea he drinks?" If that was the case, Zhou Chang had no intention of accepting it.

"No, no, Your Highness Prince Yi has misunderstood." Shopkeeper Lu hurriedly explained, "The tea stored by Mr. Qiu is all ordinary Bamboo Leaf Green, but the tea cans used to store the tea are the same as this one, both are made of the famous 'Guanyu Bamboo'."

"So what?" Zhou Chang glanced at the arm-thick bamboo tube teapot in the brocade box. The bamboo body was green and yellow with faint fish-scale patterns on it. It looked really beautiful in the light with its golden wings and scales.

Shopkeeper Lu lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Qiu always asked for a can of Bamboo Leaf Green, but he never drank it. He always ordered the tea brewed by the teahouse maid. Afterwards, he gave this can of tea to Lord Wang to take away."

"Serving the same tea every time?" Zhou Chang began to think about it.

Shopkeeper Lu nodded gently: "The tea in the teapot is ordinary Bamboo Leaf Green. I can guarantee this, but if I give Lord Wang the same tea every time, I wonder if he will get tired of it."

Zhou Chang understood and took out Guan Yuzhu's teapot from the brocade box and looked at it carefully.

Shopkeeper Lu was afraid that he hadn't explained it clearly enough: "Yuxi Teahouse is a place for guests to taste tea. Judging from Mr. Qiu's taste in ordering and serving tea, he really doesn't seem to be a tea lover. But if Lord Wang always receives the same tea can, I don't know if he will misunderstand. We only have this kind of tea in our teahouse."

"Haha, Shopkeeper Lu, don't worry. I enjoyed the 'Golden Tripod Yunmeng' last time. Next time if I have the chance, I will recommend it to Lord Wang. I will accept this teapot. Thank you for your kindness, shopkeeper. I appreciate it." Zhou Chang said as he handed the teapot to the skinny monkey.

"Ding, a customer has placed an order for a bamboo tea can." As soon as Zhou Chang took the tea can out of his hands, the viewpoint system came to place an order.

"Don't they say that we can't carry food, drinks, and medicinal herbs?" Zhou Chang asked himself.

Viewpoint System Correction: "The customer ordered a tea can."

"Oh, I see..." Zhou Chang talked to himself as he walked out of Yuxi Teahouse.

As soon as I stood at the door, Qiu Yin came towards me.

It's true that enemies meet on a narrow road. We chose to meet at different times but still met.

Although Qiu Yin had two bodyguard-like servants behind him, his eyes subconsciously shrank when he saw Prince Yi, but he immediately became dissatisfied and indignant: "Oh, the sun is rising from the west? I met His Highness Prince Yi again."

Zhou Chang took a glance and thought that those who had already taken advantage should just be happy and not say anything more.

The bruises on Qiu Yin's mouth hadn't subsided yet, but he was able to put on a smile and block the way without leaving a trace: "Your Highness Prince Yi, why are you leaving so soon? Why don't you sit for a while longer."

"How do you know how fast I come and go?" Zhou Chang suddenly felt something was wrong. Could it be that this guy had been monitoring her as well?

Qiu Yin let the cat out of the bag and stopped pretending: "If your highness Prince Yi has the courage, don't leave yet. The last matter is not over yet, and I will explain it later."

"What do you mean? Haven't you been beaten enough?" Zhou Chang looked down at the two thugs behind Qiu Yin. Gao Yuan also came with her today, so she was not afraid at all. "Why, you brought these two people here, what do you want?"

According to Gao Yuan's observations over the past few days, Qiu Yin went in and out of the teahouse as usual. Since it was close to his own shop, he never brought any attendants with him unless necessary. But today, there were two more people following him.

"Them? They are nothing." Qiu Yin was somewhat affected by the last time. Although he blocked the way with his body, he didn't dare to actually move forward.

With Gao Yuan behind him, Zhou Chang was even more fearless: "Then get out of here. I don't have time to chat with you. I've already said it last time, unless you call Brother Duan over."

"That's right..." Qiu Yin stiffened his neck, but unfortunately it had no effect on him, a short and slender man like a mole.

Before Qiu Yin finished speaking, there came the sound of hurried horse hooves and soldiers shouting to make way in the distance.

The pedestrians on both sides of the street suddenly became chaotic.

Zhou Chang looked over and saw that some beggars were slow to hide, so the soldiers rushed over and started beating and kicking them, driving them to both sides.

Then a green ebony carriage came galloping over.

"Chiu..." the horses neighed.

A middle-aged man carrying a basket of vegetables on a shoulder pole had no time to dodge, and the coachman hurriedly pulled the reins, but it was too late.

The front of the car tilted, knocking over people and carrying poles, and rushed towards the wall of the shop diagonally opposite the teahouse.

"Ah..." The carriage finally stopped, and the coachman was almost thrown out.

The man carrying vegetables fell to the ground, unable to get up, the bamboo baskets on both ends of the carrying pole fell to the ground, and the radishes and potatoes rolled all over the ground.

Seeing this, the beggars around swarmed over to grab the vegetables.

The soldiers who were leading the way were now in a dilemma.

The man picking vegetables struggled for a long time before he got up, but it was too late to save his vegetables.

Zhou Chang had already left Qiu Yin behind and joined the other passers-by, just watching the fun.

The carriage hit the wall of a cloth shop.

The plaque on the cloth shop reads "Longxiang Cloth Shop", and there is a tea shop next to it with a plaque on it that reads "Yuye Tea Shop".

The coachman, with the help of two other soldiers, struggled to pull the carriage back on track.

After a while, someone in the car lifted the curtain and urged impatiently: "What's going on? Hurry up."

Zhou Chang couldn't see the face of the person in the car, but he wanted to know more and more who was so domineering?

The merchants and passers-by who were watching the fun had already blocked the road, and the driver could not drive the car again. "The cows and horses rise in the east and fall in the west, and they will not stop until they die."
