Traveling through ancient times, the empress insisted on having a child with me

Ho Tung originally thought that his method could be a shortcut, but he did not expect that the Yun Fook Kee dim sum he had sent someone to buy with great effort was clearly made by his own Tung Fook Kee.

Cut the big pieces into small pieces, wrap the small pieces in puff pastry, and brush the pieces that are neither too big nor too small with a layer of syrup or sprinkle a few sesame seeds on them. There is no way to change it.

It turns out that Yun Fu Ji had already used this method a long time ago. From this perspective, all the dim sum produced and sold by Dong Fu Ji every day were bought by Yun Fu Ji.

He Dong was filled with indignation and had to go find Xu Heng.

After hearing this, Xu Heng became even more angry and slammed the table and cursed: "This Ling guy is too shameless. I said that our Dongfuji has been open for several days, but he has not made any moves. It turns out that he is trying to rip us off."

He Dong thought about it again and again: "Master Xu, I do have a way to deal with Yunfuji."

"Manager He, please tell me quickly."

"Master Xu, this is what I think. Since Yunfuji is using our dim sum to impersonate them, we just need to expose them. Then, when we said that Yunfuji stole our recipe, wouldn't it be like he confessed himself?"

"That's right." Xu Heng clapped his hands, his eyes lit up: "Manager He's plan is indeed brilliant. As long as we publicize it, Yunfuji's reputation will be ruined."

He Dong's mind was racing at this moment, and he made another suggestion: "Master Xu, how about this? Let's hold a tea and snack tasting conference on Xi'anmen Street and invite many people to participate. Then we can buy snacks from major snack shops in the city for comparison. Our snacks are mixed with white sugar. Apart from Yunfuji, who else can compare with them?"

Xu Heng stroked his goatee and nodded repeatedly.

Ho Tung was encouraged and continued, "Then we will expose Yun Fook Kee for using our dim sum to impersonate theirs in front of everyone. This way, we will not only expose Yun Fook Kee, but also promote our dim sum, which will determine the outcome in one fell swoop."

"it is good!"

Xu Heng slammed the table and stood up. His uncle's intention was to overthrow Yun Fu Ji in order to enhance the prestige of the Xu family in Ruyin, but he was still jealous of Yun Fu Ji's business. After all, who would complain about having too much money? Ho Tung's plan could be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Xu Heng patted He Dong on the shoulder and said, "Shopkeeper He is indeed an expert in this field. If this plan succeeds, I, Xu, will definitely not treat Shopkeeper He unfairly."

He Dong stood up as if he was flattered, and bowed to Xu Heng: "It is my honor to serve you, Lord Xu."

Ho Tung acted as soon as he said it. He hired craftsmen that day, set up a tent and stage in front of the shop, and distributed invitations in the name of Tung Fook Kee, inviting his colleagues to participate in the dim sum tasting conference.

I have to say that He Dong's idea is brilliant. If it succeeds, it will be difficult for Ling Chuan to save the situation.

Ling Chuan had been busy these days studying the decoration of the glass shop with Zhao Youtang, and had no idea that a conspiracy against Yun Fu Ji was gradually taking shape.

However, before the tent for the tasting session was set up, a shocking secret spread throughout the capital.

Rumor has it that someone is worshipping an evil god in a wild temple in the eastern suburbs of the imperial city, and is using human heads and blood for sacrifice. The most important thing is that the evil god in the wild temple is actually looking at the imperial tomb in Shenlie Mountain from afar.

When he first heard the rumor, He Dong was very busy and didn't take it seriously. However, in the evening, when the shed was built and He Dong was waiting hesitantly to expose Yun Fu Ji at the tasting conference tomorrow, he wanted to find Xu Heng, but found that Xu Heng's house was surrounded by the Yulin Guards, as if they were going to confiscate his property.

He Dong was confused, but he still plucked up the courage to ask, only to find out that the rumor he heard during the day was actually related to the Xu family of Ruyin.

Ho Tung was terrified and found a pub. He hid in a corner and eavesdropped on the people in the pub talking about this matter.

It turned out that the emperor went to the eastern suburbs for hunting yesterday and hunted a deer. The accompanying officials began to flatter him. One of the officials said that the deer represented the world, and the emperor's getting the deer was like getting the world. It was a manifestation of heaven and the protection of ancestors, so he should burn sacrifices to comfort his ancestors.

The flattery was so effective that the emperor accepted it and said that instead of burning the memorial tablets for sacrifice, he could just present the deer directly to the previous emperors.

So the Yulin Guards cleared the way and headed for Shenlie Mountain. However, as they were clearing the way, they discovered a wild temple where an evil god was enshrined.

There is nothing surprising about a statue, but the strange thing is that the evil god is not only worshipped with incense, but also sacrificed with human heads.

Since a murder had occurred, the matter had to be investigated, so Lu Xi went to the imperial mausoleum to offer sacrifices, and left the people from the Bingmasi to investigate the case.

The head was quickly recognized as the former owner of Xu's Dim Sum Shop and a servant in Xu Heng's mansion. So Xu Heng was taken to the military headquarters overnight.

By the next morning court session, the entire case had been investigated in detail, and Lu Xi's face was livid in the court.

Someone was worshipping an evil god, and the evil god was looking at the imperial tomb from afar. This was not just a murder case. The most terrible thing was that after the statue of the evil god was smashed open, there was actually a wooden box inside, and inside the box was a piece of yellow paper.

At this time, the yellow paper was on the table in front of Lu Xi.

Just now, Wei Dongxian had read out the files submitted by the Military Affairs Department, and now all he needed to do was read out the contents on the yellow paper.

Lu Xi's face turned pale. He threw the yellow paper down and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Wei Dongxian, show this yellow paper to Lord Xu."

Lord Xu was suddenly struck by lightning and trembled all over. When Wei Dongxian handed the yellow paper to him, he could see the contents on it before he even took it.

There was actually only a name and a date of birth written on the yellow paper, but this name was exactly the name of his deceased younger brother.

Lord Xu fell to his knees with a thud: "Your Majesty, I am innocent."

"Unfair?" Lu Xi snorted coldly, "The evil god used people from your Xu family for sacrifice. Hidden in the evil god's statue are the names and birth dates of your Xu family's closest relatives. The evil god is also looking at the imperial mausoleum from afar. What? Do you, the Xu family, want to bring disaster to the royal family in order to seize the world?"

Lord Xu had collapsed on the ground at this moment. He could only kowtow and cry out that he was wronged.

Lu Xi shouted, "Xu Hongtu, since you keep saying you are wronged, I will give you a chance, Zhu Mingshen."

"The minister is here."

"I'll leave this case to your Censorate to investigate. If you can't find the answer, you won't have to do your job as the Left Censor-in-Chief anymore."

"I accept the decree."

Zhu Ming bowed deeply and glanced at Xu Hongtu who was lying on the ground. He thought to himself, this guy is really going to screw me over.

Seventy percent of the officials in the Censorate are from various aristocratic families, and Xu Hongtu is a major figure in the aristocratic faction. Your Majesty asked Zhu Mingshen to investigate the case, which is equivalent to asking the aristocratic faction to investigate itself, which is almost the same as a strategy of sowing discord.

In just a short while, Zhu Mingshen had figured out how to deal with the case. To put it simply, he would rather my friend die than let me.

Ho Tung heard a lot of random rumors in the tavern, but to sum up, they amounted to one thing: the Xu family was finished.

Even if the Xu family was not wiped out, Xu Heng was also dead. He now wished he had never met Xu Heng. This was a case close to treason. If he was implicated, it would be a disaster for the entire clan.
