Happy Emperor

Several people had just sat down in a private room.

A servant rushed in hurriedly.

"Oh no! Li Erhu and his men are here!"

"That bastard!" The middle-aged man said to the person who came, his face full of anger: "Tell him, I'll be down right away."

"Second uncle, who is this Li Erhu?" Batujin asked with a slightly serious expression.

"Ugh!"

The middle-aged man sighed and said, "Li Erhu is a wealthy businessman in Suolu Town. He relies on the fact that the county magistrate is his brother-in-law to do all kinds of evil."

After hearing this, Lin Tian frowned.

Although this little thing wasn't something he was concerned about, he still felt a little unhappy.

In his previous life, he was quite disgusted with these scoundrels who relied on their power to oppress the people.

"Why would he come to our restaurant to cause trouble? Doesn't he know about our Batu family?"

Batujin asked with a frown.

Lin Tian was also a little curious, although Baturin could not govern Ningfeng Province.

But a relative of a county magistrate would not dare to make things difficult for Batu's family even if he had the courage.

"We owe him money and he keeps coming here to cause trouble. Our restaurant business is about to go bankrupt."

The middle-aged man replied through gritted teeth.

Lin Tian was petrified after hearing this.

How can this guy be so confident even though he owes people money?

This person must be desperate to come and ask for money!

It seems that there is a scoundrel in this matter, but this scoundrel is from their Batu family.

"Do you owe him money?"

Batujin looked at Lin Tian beside him with some embarrassment on his face.

Then he asked the middle-aged man, "Second Uncle, how come our Batu family owes money to others?"

The Batu family is not as rich as a country, but they are almost as rich as a country. However, they are not so rich that they owe money to a wealthy businessman in the county.

"It's a long story." The middle-aged man sighed.

But then his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked Batu Jin, "Jin'er, why hasn't the food been delivered to Shengjing these days?"

"food?"

Batujin didn't know the details and asked with confusion, "What kind of food?"

"You don't know? What is big brother doing?"

The middle-aged man complained in a low voice.

He originally came with 50,000 elite soldiers, but halfway he received news that Ningfeng Province had stationed personnel.

It is said that the food was not delivered on time.

Only then did he rush to Ningfeng Province in a hurry.

After sending people to Shengjing several times to inquire about food without success, they had no choice but to take the risk and raise food in Ningfeng Province.

Although Lin Tianyang did not discover it, the price of grain was ridiculously high because it was all traded on the black market.

The silver notes of Batu's family property in Ningfeng Province were soon spent, and they had no choice but to borrow money from Li Erhu.

Of course, Lin Tian understood what the middle-aged man meant, and he also roughly guessed the reason for the incident.

He asked calmly, "How much silver do you owe?"

"One hundred thousand taels." The middle-aged man replied without thinking.

"Huang Tianba, go down and give them this money!"

Lin Tian took out a banknote from his pocket and handed it to Huang Tianba.

"Is he Huang Tianba? The general of the Infantry Commander's Office?"

The middle-aged man stared at Lin Tian, ​​but still couldn't guess who the man in front of him was!

Lin Tian nodded slightly.

He didn't expect that Huang Tianba was so famous that even people who had never been to Shengjing knew him.

"Are you from the Ji family? What is your relationship with Ji Feng?"

The middle-aged man guessed that he knew Ji Feng was the only one who could mobilize people from the Infantry Commander's Office.

Since the person in front of him can command Huang Tianba, he must be from the Ji family.

"Are you Batusen?"

Lin Tian did not answer who he was, but asked back.

Although he had never met this person, he already knew the members of Batu's family clearly.

"It's this old man! Who are you?"

Batusen was a little displeased.

No matter which younger generation of the Batu family he is, since he is with Jin'er, he should at least call me second uncle!

It would have been fine if he didn't call my second uncle, but he even dared to call me by my name.

Do you think you are the emperor?

Seeing that Lin Tian didn't reply, Batusen didn't care too much. After all, they were his nephew's son-in-law, and it wouldn't be good to make things too awkward.

Instead, he looked at Batujin and asked anxiously.

"Jin'er, has Big Brother already reached an agreement with that old fellow Ji Feng?"

"Ji Feng is dead!"

Batujin replied quietly while winking at Batusen.

But she didn't dare to make the matter clear until Emperor Li revealed his identity.

"Ji Feng is dead?"

Batusen was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, big brother is worthy of being the big brother!"

"No wonder the food hasn't arrived yet. It turns out they're dealing with this matter."

"That's good. Shengjing and its three provinces will be the territory of my Batu family. In the future..."

"Second uncle!"

Batujin looked anxious.

He hurriedly interrupted Batusen, fearing that he would say something presumptuous again.

Batusen, still in a state of excitement, asked again.

"By the way, what happened to that puppet emperor?"

"Are you talking about me again?"

Lin Tian asked in a cold voice with a gloomy face.

"Shut up! I mean the puppet..."

Batusen was about to scold Lin Tian, ​​but he reacted immediately.

Then look at Batujin.

Batujin looked solemn and nodded slightly.

The expression on Batusen's face immediately became strange.

"Are you Emperor Li? Don't you mean..."

"Second uncle, why don't you come and pay your respects to His Majesty!" Batujin hurriedly reminded in a low voice.

"Big brother..."

"Father has surrendered to the Emperor. Now we should hurry to deal with Prince Pingdong's Northern Expedition."

"I also married His Majesty!"

"And His Majesty is not what you think he is. He is a Holy King!"

Batujin briefly explained the situation.

Batusen listened.

He stood there in a daze for a moment. He didn't expect that the person in front of him was Emperor Li.

He never expected that such a huge change would take place in Shengjing in just one month.

And what he just said, isn't it...

Thinking of this, Batusen immediately knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, Batusen, pays homage to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor."

Lin Tian didn't want to think too much about this matter, and said in a deep voice.

"Get up! From Jin'er's perspective, I have to call you Second Uncle!"

"I dare not! What I said just now..."

"Ignorance is not a crime!"

"If I were you, I might be even more oblivious than you..."

Lin Tian's words were another warning to Batusen.

Times have changed and we must face reality.

"Thank you Lord for your grace!"

Only then did Batusen dare to stand up.

Although he has a lot of people around him now, since Emperor Li dares to admit his identity in front of him, it means that he is fearless.

He also heard about King Pingdong's Northern Expedition and his elder brother's surrender.

No matter how stupid he is, he understands the interests involved.

"How long will it take for 50,000 elite soldiers to arrive?"

Lin Tian asked straight to the point.

"Your Majesty, we will be ten kilometers outside of Solo Town within two days."

This time is basically consistent with the intelligence he received.

After pondering for a moment, Lin Tian asked again, "Do you know what happened in Ningfeng Province? Why did all the border guards withdraw?"

"I'm not sure either."

Batusen paused for a moment and continued, "I heard that Beihuan invaded Ningfeng again, and all the troops were sent to the north, and then..."

"Beihuan?"

Lin Tian narrowed his eyes slightly. This was unexpected news.
