Kaifeng Mansion's Little Boss

When shopkeeper Yao of Yaoguang Building was helped to Kaifeng Mansion, many onlookers followed behind him.

Everyone pointed at her and talked about it.

"It turns out that the shopkeeper of Yaoguang Building is a woman, that's how I found out."

"I can't imagine that such a big point will use rat meat to cook for guests!"

"Oh, it's so disgusting!"

"Don't listen to the wind and the rain. I think she was framed by someone. She is stupid. The business is so good that it must use rat meat."

……

When shopkeeper Yao was stepping on the stone steps to Kaifeng Mansion, his legs suddenly gave way and he fell to the ground.

She was so angry that she shed tears, and said to everyone: "Yaoguanglou was wronged! You don't even think about it, who is not a noble person who comes to our Yaoguanglou for dinner? Who can we offend? Lend me a hundred Even if I have the guts, I dare not put rat meat in the dish. If I cheat and offend these nobles, everyone knows what will happen, do I think I live too long!"

When everyone heard it, it seemed reasonable, and they expressed their opinions, questioning the authenticity of what the tabloid wrote.

"I once had the honor to have a meal at Yaoguanglou. I am ashamed to say that I only ordered some vegetarian dishes to taste, but every vegetarian dish was very delicious. As for the meat dish, it is not delicious. I have to add it." What about rat meat?"

The person who said this was a scholar, gentle and gentle, he didn't believe what the tabloid said at all, he felt that Yaoguanglou must have been framed.

The people nearby quickly echoed: "I don't think it looks like it. Yaoguang Building's business is so good, why bother to commit suicide."

"I didn't dare to say it just now. I feel like another family is jealous of Yaoguanglou's business and deliberately slanders Yaoguanglou."

"But the things written by the tabloids have never been faked before."

……

Then, there was another chatter.

Because there was too much noise outside the Kaifeng mansion, and the janitors at the gate couldn't disperse the onlookers, Bai Yutang came out in person.

As he stood there, he glanced coldly at the weeping Shopkeeper Yao.Shopkeeper Yao was so frightened that he immediately stopped crying.

The onlookers saw that although the young man was handsome, he stood there like a demon, with a frightening aura, and they couldn't help being afraid.Strange, he obviously didn't have any expression on his face, and he didn't scold them or threaten them, but they just felt a murderous aura coming, making them shrink like a mouse after seeing a cat, and they dared not move at all. .

Some people were bolder, but they only dared to ask who this person was in a low voice.

"I don't know each other, but I always feel that we should recognize each other, so as not to be killed if we accidentally collide in the future."

"I've heard that there is another fourth-rank guard in the Kaifeng Mansion, who is the famous Chinchilla Baiyutang in the Jianghu."

"My mother, it's scary enough to have Nanxia Zhanzhao in Kaifeng Mansion, but the Chinchilla is here again!"

"Who is Chinchilla? I think he's just a young boy." A tall and strong man who didn't understand the world affairs said with complete disdain.

"Be careful, you won't be afraid of getting your tongue cut out if you say this? Let me tell you this, if you offend Nanxia, ​​you may die; if you offend Chinchilla, it's hard to keep the whole body. Come on!"

"Cut—" the burly man just opened his mouth when he saw Bai Yutang's cold eyes staring directly at him.

What kind of hearing power is this?The distance was so far, and they spoke so softly just now, but he actually heard them all?The strong man suddenly felt a chill rushing up his tailbone, and he felt bad all over.

It turns out that this is what those storytellers call the murderous aura of martial arts masters, so scary!

"It's all gone."

Bai Yutang's voice was cold, and after one sound, there was complete silence all around.

The strong man finally came back to his senses, and immediately squeezed out of the crowd and fled at a high speed.Under his leadership, all the people panicked and fled in all directions!

After a while, the peace and solemnity of the past was restored in front of the gate of Kaifeng Mansion.

Shopkeeper Yao barely stood up with the support of the people around her. She glanced at Bai Yutang with some fear.

Bai Yutang didn't take her into his eyes at all, turned around and returned to Kaifeng mansion.

Shopkeeper Yao had just opened his mouth and had to close it again. Once this person left, it became even more difficult for her to say what she wanted to say.

"Let's go, let's go in and report to the officials." At this time, the person who was helping shopkeeper Yao was Qian Shi, the wife of Zhu Lu, the shopkeeper of the cloth village.

"It's better not to go. Our businessmen are most afraid of incurring lawsuits. Being involved in a lawsuit is bad luck. If the guests know about it, I'm afraid they won't want to patronize Yaoguang Tower again!" Shopkeeper Yao held back Qian and said to him. She shook her head, telling her again that she didn't want to go in.

But Qian refused: "Why do you say this again? Didn't I persuade you just now that we were framed and innocent, even if we come to the government, there is nothing to be afraid of! If we report to the government, we can prove our innocence. Second, the mastermind who framed Yaoguanglou must be caught and severely punished.

If you were wronged and let him go today, it will definitely not make this villain feel repentant, but will only become more rampant. Maybe next time he will use something else as a raft to frame and bully you. "

Qian shi hated shopkeeper Yao for not being up to date, and couldn't figure out why she was so fragile and shy of the government this time when she was always straightforward in her work.I have been wronged so badly that I want to die, but I am still entangled in not wanting to report to the police! ?

Seeing this, shopkeeper Yao quickly explained: "Don't be angry, to tell you the truth, the reason why I don't want to report to the government is because I have asked a Taoist priest to settle the matter before. If you want to prosper in business, you can't get involved in the government to cause bad luck."

"That's how it is."

Qian Shi understood now.Those who do business prefer to believe these fortune-telling statements, and Yaoguang Building is indeed doing a good business, so it is not incomprehensible for shopkeeper Yao to follow this taboo.

"Then why didn't you say it earlier? My family is impatient and has already come to Kaifeng Mansion to report you to the government. Our husband and wife are also very angry. Seeing that you are being wronged and want to die, I feel sorry for you!"

"Now if we report the case but don't go there, wouldn't it be playing tricks on Kaifeng Mansion?" Qian Shi made a difficult mistake.

Just now she saw that the young official in white was very difficult to provoke. Even if the onlookers didn't do anything, he was full of evil spirits, and everyone was terrified of him.

If they told him not to sue, the reason was that they were afraid of offending the government, would they still have their lives?

The two stood hesitantly at the gate of Kaifeng Mansion, neither entering nor retreating.

Qian couldn't help complaining about shopkeeper Yao, if he didn't make it clear earlier, otherwise they would not be in such a dilemma.

Shopkeeper Yao also regretted it, she really wanted to say it earlier, "I was so angry at the time, I was only concerned about being wronged, and I didn't think about it."

"Why don't you two come in?" Seeing that the two had been standing at the door for some time, the little official came over to ask.

Shopkeeper Yao and Mrs. Qian glanced at each other, then carefully asked the little official, "Can we not report this official?"

The little official was stunned for a moment, and looked at the two of them with strange eyes: "I can't decide this. Why didn't you two ask when Guard Bai was here just now?"

"Guard Bai... is that person really the famous Bai Yutang in Jianghu?" There are all kinds of guests in the restaurant, and there are many people who talk about Jianghu affairs. Shopkeeper Yao has naturally heard some chivalrous stories about Bai Yutang of Chinchilla thing.

When I was listening to the story back then, I just felt that he was cruel and vicious in attacking the villains, which really relieved my anger.At this moment, I really know that when I face such a character, I only feel apprehension and fear in my heart.

"Exactly." After the little official said, he said that he would go and invite the white guard to come back again.

"Don't, don't, don't!" The two of them absolutely didn't dare to see that evil god again, so they could only bite the bullet and agree, and entered the Kaifeng mansion first.

Clerks had long been waiting for them in the side hall, ready to record shopkeeper Yao's confession.

Zhu Lu was also here, seeing shopkeeper Yao and the others coming, he hurriedly reassured her not to be afraid.

"You just need to tell the truth about your grievances."

Shopkeeper Yao and Qian looked at Zhu Lu in embarrassment.

Zhu Lu noticed the abnormality and asked the two of them with winks.Then, he learned about the situation from his wife Qian Shi, and he also had a difficult time, and he sighed that shopkeeper Yao didn't say it earlier.

Shopkeeper Yao pursed his lips and smiled wryly, he really had something to say but couldn't say it.How did she say it earlier?After Zhu Lu heard that she was about to commit suicide, she went straight to Kaifeng mansion to complain excitedly, and she had no time to chase after her.

Su Yuan then entered the door and asked the clerk if he could record the confession.

Zhu Lu immediately told Shopkeeper Yao that Miss Su was the most gentle and easy-talking person in Kaifeng Mansion.

The two quickly took this opportunity to chat with Su Yuan and asked Su Yuan, "If we don't want to sue now, can we take back the pleadings?"

"Aren't you going to sue?" Su Yuan asked in surprise.

The two nodded in unison.

"Isn't it wronged that you want to seek death? It's almost a fatal lawsuit, why don't you sue?" Su Yuan asked puzzled.

Shopkeeper Yao faltered, of course she couldn't say what Zhanguanfu thought was unfavorable, she had to think of something else to say.

"Before, I couldn't think about it and thought the matter was serious. It's actually easy to clarify this matter when I think about it carefully. Everyone has grown their brains and knows why our Yaoguang Building was framed! It's business, harmony makes money, forget it Right." Shopkeeper Yao explained.

Su Yuan glanced at shopkeeper Yao: "Many people suspect that Fushunlou is framing Yaoguanglou, what do you think?"

Shopkeeper Yao didn't speak, but his expression clearly agreed.

"If you want to withdraw the pleadings, I can accommodate you." Su Yuan ordered the clerk to return the pleadings to Zhu Lu.

After Zhu Lu received the pleadings, he made amends and apologized to Su Yuan, and then planned to leave with Yao and Qian.

"Shopkeeper Yao can't leave yet." Su Yuan said suddenly.

The three of them stopped and looked at Su Yuan in complete confusion.

"Didn't you just say that the complaint can be withdrawn?" Zhu Lu asked again for confirmation.

Su Yuan nodded, "Yes, but shopkeeper Yao, as an important witness in another case, needs to stay for questioning by the Kaifeng government."

"I don't understand." Shopkeeper Yao was a little confused.

"I think you all know Fushun Tower by now."

When Su Yuan said this, the three of them nodded immediately, and at the same time became more puzzled.

"The shopkeeper of Fushunlou just came to Kaifeng Mansion to hand over the pleadings. His shop was attacked and damaged a lot, and his head was also broken. The incident was all caused by the article in the tabloid that slandered Yaoguanglou.

There are many old customers of Yaoguanglou who believe that Yaoguanglou has been framed, and because they heard that the shopkeeper of Yaoguanglou was wronged and wanted to commit suicide, they were very indignant and worried that they would never taste the delicious food of Yaoguanglou again, so they spontaneously went to look for it. Behind the scenes.

After careful study of the article, they determined that the man behind the scenes was the shopkeeper of Fushunlou, and they all went to Fushunlou to ask for an explanation.Once there are too many people, some people will act out of excitement, and then they will make trouble and start smashing the store. "

No one expected that things would happen so quickly. During the period when Qian closed the store for shopkeeper Yao and helped shopkeeper Yao to Kaifeng mansion, Fushunlou suffered disaster.

The shopkeeper of Fushunlou felt aggrieved, and rode a fast horse to Kaifeng Mansion to find an acquaintance for advice, and then wrote a complaint.

This acquaintance is Zhao Hu.

The reason why Su Yuan and Bai Yutang split up just now is precisely because of this.She went to shopkeeper Fushunlou, and Bai Yutang went to shopkeeper Yao.

Shopkeeper Yao became furious when he heard about the incident, "They actually have the face to sue! Then I will sue too!"

Zhu Lu held the pleading paper in his hand, wondering if he should send it out again, after all, he just got it back.

Su Yuan looked at them with a smile: "Don't you think that coming to Kaifeng Mansion to file a complaint is just a joke?"

"Don't dare." Zhu Lu hurriedly apologized, put away the pleading paper in his hand, and dared not send it out again.

Su Yuan ordered the document to prepare his pen and ink, and began to question shopkeeper Yao: "Since there are many diners who support Yaoguanglou and are willing to believe that Yaoguanglou is innocent, why did you commit suicide?"

"After reading the tabloids yesterday, I saw that the business was not good. I thought that everyone believed the rumors, so I was extremely wronged. I was depressed all night, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt wronged.

As a woman, I can do this business, I don’t know how much blood and tears shed, but I was bullied like this, what’s the point of living?When I can't think about it for a while, I don't want to live.But that was only a matter of time, and after that, after the persuasion of Mrs. and Mrs. Zhu, the shopkeeper, I thought about it. "

Shopkeeper Yao then told Su Yuan that she and Fushunlou had a long-standing grudge. Fushunlou not only secretly learned their Yaoguanglou's dishes, but also poached two cooks from Yaoguanglou.

She had endured many grievances, but this time about the tabloid incident, she couldn't hold back, and suddenly collapsed.

Bai Yutang and Zhao Hu were listening outside the house at this time.

After hearing shopkeeper Yao talk about Fushunlou's actions, Bai Yutang glanced at Zhao Hu.

"Your friend is not doing well."

Zhao Hu took it for granted, and immediately said: "I don't know about this situation, because I have never been to Yaoguang Lou, and I don't know where Fushun Lou's dishes were learned from, so I will go and break up with him right now!"

At this moment, Bai Fu hurried over and reported the location of the tabloid to Bai Yutang.

Because tabloids often write personal affairs of celebrities and have offended many people, the location of their printing is relatively hidden, and they can only be found out through follow-up and detailed investigation.

Bai Yutang said to Zhao Hu: "First arrest the person who wrote the article."

Zhao Hu agreed and followed Bai Yutang immediately.

With the two of them at the helm, how could a tabloid scholar escape?Within half an hour, they caught the scholar straight and brought him to Kaifeng Mansion for interrogation. Then they asked who was the person who revealed the news of Yaoguang Tower to him, and drew a portrait.

Su Yuan was a little curious, and asked the scholar: "I heard that the contents published by the tabloids in the past are all true. Can you publish the Yaoguanglou incident after confirming it?"

The scholar lowered his head guiltyly, shook his head to express no, and said frankly: "The person who revealed the news gave me 1000 taels of silver."

"1000 taels?" After Zhao Hu exclaimed, he couldn't help sighing, "That's really enough."

"So what if there is too much? There is no such thing as free food in this world. If you promise a lot of profit for no reason, there must be a conspiracy. Isn't it just that you almost killed the shopkeeper of Yaoguang Building now?" Zhan Zhao asked back.

Zhao Hu nodded, and quickly echoed what Zhan Zhao said was reasonable.

He then hurriedly changed the subject, feeling something else: "If you want to say that this literati is really powerful, with a single movement of the pen, he will get rich and kill people. Unlike us warriors, it takes a long time to wield a big knife to kill people."

Bai Yutang: "That's you."

Zhan Zhao: "That's right."

Zhao Hu: "..."

He strongly felt the deep contempt for him from the two masters.So angry!Angry that he is incompetent, and his martial arts are too low, he can only end up being laughed at!He will never say such stupid things in front of these two next time.

Su Yuan asked Zhao Hu to take the portrait and ask shopkeeper Yao and others to see if they knew the person in the portrait.

"Speaking of which, this portrait...however I look at it, it looks familiar. I seem to have seen this person before!" But Zhao Hu couldn't remember who this person was just on his lips.

"Don't be in a hurry, think about it slowly, if you are in a hurry, you won't be able to remember, you should take the portrait and ask them first." Su Yuan persuaded.

When Zhao Hu took the portrait to the side hall, he immediately saw the shopkeeper Qi of Fushunlou who was also waiting there.

He immediately remembered, held up the portrait and said to the shopkeeper: "I remember, the person in this portrait is the cashier of your restaurant!"

Shopkeeper Qi was stunned when he saw the portrait, then nodded and said, "Yes, the person in the portrait looks very similar to the cashier in our store. Brother Zhao, what's going on?"

"Don't call me brother, who is your brother! I am an official and you are a thief, I warn you to be honest!"

As soon as Zhao Hu heard that this person was Shopkeeper Qi's subordinate, he knew that Shopkeeper Qi was most likely responsible for the bribery tabloid's framing of Yaoguanglou.He had always looked down on Qi's shopkeeper for stealing Yaoguanglou's dishes and poaching Yaoguanglou's cooks, and now he loathes him even more.

How could this guy do such a shameful thing?Usually he took his brother to his place for dinner, seeing him warmly entertaining and considerate greetings, and seeing him helping beggars, he thought he was a good man with a kind heart, but he really didn't expect his real face to be like this.

Shopkeeper Qi was stunned for a while by Zhao Hu's sudden slap in the face.

When he learned that it was the accountant who gave the news to the tabloid, he was so anxious that he wanted to cry without tears and explained: "I really didn't order him to do this kind of thing."

"You're still quibbling now?" Zhao Hu glared at him, then sneered, "It's true, I've been working in Kaifeng Mansion for so long, and I've never seen a prisoner who definitely confessed his crime with a single mouth. Willing to recruit!"

"This... really, really, really isn't me!" Shopkeeper Qi stuttered in panic.

Su Yuan had observed Shopkeeper Qi's expression since Zhao Hu brought the portrait into the room.When he saw the portrait for the first time, his puzzled expression was indeed genuine, and there were also Zhu Lu and Qian's couple who had the same expression.

Shopkeeper Yao's reaction was a bit interesting. After she glanced at the portrait, she immediately closed her eyes and avoided them.

"I didn't expect it to be you! Okay, my surname is Qi. You can't do business with me. You stole my cooking, poached my cook, and even came up with such a dirty trick to harm me! Well, you came to report to the official again, trying to bite me back. , Blame the unreasonable customers of our Yaoguang Building, smashing your shop! Why are you so shameless, you son of a bitch!"

Shopkeeper Yao was very imposing at the moment, he pinched his waist and angrily scolded Shopkeeper Qi, and spat at him twice.

Zhu Lu and Qian's couple also helped to speak out, and together with shopkeeper Yao denounced shopkeeper Qi, calling him unscrupulous and immoral.

Shopkeeper Qi panicked even more, and quickly knelt down to Su Yuan and the others, crying and explained: "Caomin admits that Caomin secretly bought Yaoguanglou's vegetables, studied them, and poached their cooks. Although these things Shameful, but it is not against the law, and no one can do anything to me. But if you use tabloids to frame Yaoguanglou, if it is serious, you will commit the crime of rumors and slander, and you will be arrested and sentenced to prison. Don't dare to do that!"

"You're still quibbling! The accountant belongs to your family, can it be instigated by others? In order to expand your business in Fushunlou, you regard our Yaoguanglou as a thorn in your side and want to run my Yaoguanglou down. You It really does everything!"

Shopkeeper Yao cried out for injustice, and begged the adults to severely punish Shopkeeper Qi.

"The accountant either received a lot of bribes from him, or he was threatened by him. Maybe he would not identify him when someone came, but he would put the crime on me instead." The shopkeeper Yao cried more and more fiercely, lamenting his grievance and suffering. , This happened for no reason.

Su Yuan listened to her crying quietly, until her crying gradually subsided, and then asked her: "Why do you think so?"

"What?" Shopkeeper Yao looked at Su Yuan with red and swollen eyes that were still full of tears.

"Why do you say that: the accountant will accuse you instead?" Su Yuan asked softly, "With the evidence so obvious, shouldn't a normal person's reaction be to wait for someone to come, and the trial will be fine?" ? Even if the other party quibbles, the two of them still have an obvious employer-employee relationship, and everyone will doubt them, so how could you blame them?"

Shopkeeper Yao was stunned for a moment, "I'm just... that Qi has hurt me several times, so I naturally have to think a lot, does he have some tricks to plot against me!"

"Oh, so that's the case." Su Yuan looked at shopkeeper Yao again, without saying anything more.

Shopkeeper Yao lowered his eyebrows, sobbed softly, and stopped shouting.

Naturally, both Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao saw that Su Yuan had doubts about shopkeeper Yao.Judging from their case-solving experience, shopkeeper Yao's behavior was indeed somewhat suspicious, unlike what a pure victim should have.Especially after she was questioned by Su Yuan, her expression obviously became more nervous.

When the accountant of Fushun Building was brought into the side hall of Kaifeng Mansion, shopkeeper Yao's eyes dodged even more.

The cashier first glanced at shopkeeper Yao, and then at shopkeeper Qi who had been staring at him.

"What's going on? Why did you provide information to the tabloid to write an article slandering Yaoguanglou? Where did you get the 1000 taels of silver?" Shopkeeper Qi immediately asked the accountant three times.

The accountant knelt tremblingly, at the moment when he was flustered and didn't know how to speak——

Bai Yutang reminded him in a cold voice: "Don't worry about anything else, explain the origin of the 1000 taels. I advise you to think it through before you speak, otherwise we will find out that you are lying, and we will only think that you stole the money. This amount is enough for you to go to court." The dog's head is cut off, and the human head falls ten times."

According to the law, if a hired worker steals property worth more than one hundred taels from the owner's family, he will be sentenced to beheaded.

The accountant shuddered and finally realized the seriousness of the matter. He quickly kowtowed and confessed: "The 1000 taels of silver is not the business of the villain. The villain didn't steal it! The villain just took the money she gave and obeyed her orders." Just work!"

"Who is he?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"She——" the accountant raised his head and looked at shopkeeper Yao, "it's shopkeeper Yao! It was she who asked me to send news to bribe the scholar who wrote the tabloid. The building was scolded by everyone. At that time, I just need to pretend to be condemned by my conscience to stand up and tell the truth, and to admit that the shopkeeper Qi threatened me to frame Yaoguanglou, and then I can take the 400 taels she supplied me later The silver flies away."

"You're talking nonsense!" Shopkeeper Yao shouted excitedly, pointing at the accountant's nose and cursing, saying that the accountant was partnering with shopkeeper Qi to harm her.

"I have evidence that when you told me these words, my eight-year-old was hiding under the table."

The accountant shrank his neck and said tremblingly.

"Shopkeeper Yao, you can't blame me for this. When you promised me at the time, you agreed that I would only be scolded by a few people, and I could leave after I endured it. You didn't say you would provoke the government!"

Shopkeeper Yao choked hard at these words, his lips trembled with anger, but there was nothing he could do.

She didn't want to get into trouble with the government either, but my friend was so kind and helped her report to the government!

She was lucky, thinking that she could fool the Kaifeng mansion, but she didn't know that something unexpected happened, and she was completely stripped of her skin.

Su Yuan: "How about I send someone to Yaoguang Building to check the accounts again? There will always be traces of the expenditure of 1000 taels of silver."

Shopkeeper Yao was discouraged, knowing that it was useless to argue again, so he had to plead guilty.

She was just annoyed that Fushunlou always used those tricks to disgust her, so she wanted to take revenge on Fushunlou, making Fushunlou completely unable to gain a foothold in Tokyo.

She bribed the accountant of Fushun Building, and then used tabloids to frame Yaoguang Building with articles that were "not exaggerated but can be found to be lies upon inquiring".Then she pretended to be victimized, as if she was forced to die, to arouse everyone's pity for her, and then everyone will find the only beneficiary from that article, Fushunlou, who suspects that Fushunlou is behind the scenes, which arouses people's suspicion of Fushunlou. Shunlou's condemnation.

At that time, shopkeeper Qi will definitely plead his innocence, and the accountant will stand up and identify him at that time, and confirm his charges.The reputation of Fushun Building will be completely stink, and there is no way to continue to operate.

Shopkeeper Qi was shocked when he heard this, "You are so vicious!"

"You have the nerve to say it! If you hadn't schemed against others unscrupulously first, how could there be anything later!" Zhao Hu scolded him, and then concluded with disgust, "In short, you are not good guys, and you each hit [-] big boards."

"But shopkeeper Yao's actions violated the law, and the consequences are much more serious than shopkeeper Qi's." Su Yuan said.

Shopkeeper Yao was stunned for a moment, and burst into tears of grievance, lamenting that he was forced to do nothing, that she committed the crime within reason, and begged for a light sentence and be forgiven.

"Which case was not triggered because of a conflict? There has never been a reasonable crime. If it is wrong, it is wrong. Don't find reasons to quibble." Zhan Zhao said seriously.

"Yes, it's okay to teach others a lesson when you're wronged, but you have to be measured. If you go too far, if you break the law, it's your fault." Su Yuan echoed.

Zhan Zhao frowned slightly, always felt that there was something wrong with Su Yuan's echoing his words just now?

No, he will find time to have a good talk with Su Yuan later.

Now that the case has been clarified, it is enough to write up the case and submit it to Mr. Bao to wait for the judgment.

Although the case was relatively minor, it was time to celebrate its closure symbolically.

Su Yuan presented his newly made pork jerky.Seeing that Zhan Zhao was in a daze, she deliberately brought a plate to him and invited him to eat.

Zhan Zhao took a piece to thank him, and then put the dried pork into his mouth.

Thin slices of pork jerky, sporadically sticking sesame seeds, dry and chewy, salty, sweet, and fragrant, the more you chew, the stronger the taste.This stuff is so addictive that it makes you unconsciously reach for the second, the third.By the time you finally realized it, half of the plate was gone.

Zhan Zhao looked at the remaining half plate of pork jerky, doubts flickered in his eyes.He remembered that before he ate, there seemed to be something to do, what was it?

In the end, Zhan Zhao didn't remember what happened, and left with his half plate of preserved pork.

"The shopkeeper of Yaoguanglou was arrested, can Yaoguanglou continue to operate?" When they were almost gone, Su Yuan asked Bai Yutang, grabbing the pork jerky in his hand.

It's rare that there are meals made somewhere that suit her taste everywhere.Su Yuan is very concerned about this point. When she doesn't want to cook and wants to eat delicious food, can she still go to Yaoguanglou for dinner?

"Yaoguang Restaurant also has a small shopkeeper, her son." Bai Yutang said, "It's impossible for such a big restaurant to just disappear. Even if her son can't keep it open, it will change hands and someone else will continue to open it. "

"That's good."

Su Yuan felt relieved and continued to eat her dried pork.

After Bai Yutang separated from Su Yuan, he told Bai Fu: "Send someone to inform Yaoguanglou's young master. If you want to change hands, let us know."

"Take orders!" Bai Fu approached his master with a smile, and carefully asked, "Why is Fifth Master suddenly interested in opening a restaurant?"

Bai Yutang gave him a sharp look, "Speak up."

……

The sunset is crimson, and the dusk is just right.

Gongsun Ce rode a white horse, and returned to Kaifeng Mansion in a hurry.

Su Yuan immediately brought a bowl of almond tofu to pay tribute to Gongsun Ce, and asked him how he got out of this trip.

Gongsun Ce felt hot and tired at the moment, and had no interest in chewing. The almond tofu was not only refreshing, but also soft and tender, very sweet, just to his taste.

After he sat down and took two bites slowly, he put down the spoon and said to Su Yuan, "There is neither."

"Is it there or not?" Su Yuan asked doubtfully.

"Yes." Gongsun Ce said with a smile.

"What is that?"

Gongsun Ce shook his head.

Su Yuan didn't know whether Gongsun Ce meant that he couldn't tell her, or he couldn't explain clearly.Anyway, the result is the same, but she can't know.Su Yuan didn't bother, after collecting the bowls and chopsticks, he advised Gongsun Ce to go to bed early.

At night, when Bao Zheng saw Gongsun Ce coming to him, he hurriedly put down his pen and asked him what the result of the investigation was.

"That Xue's illness was very serious, and she was dying when the student left. The student gave her needles and a strong dose of medicine, which brought her back to life, and she barely survived for three days.

People seem to be lying, but they refuse to tell the truth anyway.Her family used to be desolate, but now they are receiving financial support from the Su Mansion, and the situation is better.It was said that it was for the sake of happiness that a son and a daughter were married within three days.The son betrothed the daughter of a talented scholar, and the family the daughter wanted to marry had a hundred acres of fertile land. "

"It's a little strange. If these are all arranged by the Su family, and they promise so much profit, then Mrs. Xue may indeed be lying until his death." Bao Zheng sighed, "This matter is a bit troublesome. There is no evidence, but there are many doubts. , making people feel uneasy.”

"So the students thought, we might as well use defense as offense. In short, the Su family must not let Su Yuan go back. Let's see they are anxious, just wait for their actions."

When Gongsun Ce said this, his expression was extremely serious.His good apprentice should be guarded by him.

Bao Zheng agreed with Gongsun Ce's decision very much, so he could discuss with Zhan Zhao when he turned around, and secretly observe the movement of the Su family.

"I heard that the Su family will move into a new house in Tokyo in the future."

In the past few days, the Su family has shipped a lot of things from Zhengzhou to the new house, which has attracted envious comments from many people in Tokyo.After all, he is a wealthy imperial businessman with a big family and a big business, and everything he puts out is valuable.

"The day after tomorrow?" Gongsun Ce calculated with his fingers and smiled, "That will be a good day."

……

"The day after tomorrow is an auspicious day. What does it have to do with our coming to this house tonight?"

Su Yuan followed Bai Yutang to the Su family's new house.

"Looking at it now, it's still convenient." Bai Yutang replied.

Su Yuan was puzzled for a while, for Bai Yutang, entering the palace was like walking on flat ground, how inconvenient would it be to visit Su's mansion?

Then she realized what was going on.What Bai Yutang meant was that it would be more convenient to bring her here because she 'doesn't know martial arts'.There is no new owner in the house at this moment, and there are fewer guards, so it is indeed more convenient to bring her here.

Bai Yutang ordered Su Yuan to wait at the side door, and he immediately climbed over the wall and entered the house, and then quickly opened the side door for Su Yuan, leading Su Yuan in.

You can easily enter the Su Garden of other people's homes without jumping or jumping, which means that this feeling is very good.

After the two of them walked around Su's house for a long time, they finally stopped in front of a Taoist temple.

"Sure enough, it's a rich family, and they actually built such a magnificent Taoist temple in their own home."

"It's not just the Taoist temple. The feng shui arrangement of the whole house is very exquisite. Sitting in the direction of Dangwang, the wind is hidden and the air is absorbed. The houses are square and perfect, and there is no flaw. Even the arrangement of flowers and plants is very meticulous. This house is the capital city One of the best geomantic treasures." Bai Yutang said.

Su Yuan expressed surprise: "Both civil and military, you even know Feng Shui?"

Bai Yutang couldn't help laughing when he heard him say that he was both civil and military, "I know how to do a lot of things, and that's how I amazed you?"

"Probably because you are too young." Su Yuan sighed.

"Isn't it good to be young?" Bai Yutang asked back.

Su Yuan could hear the concern in his tone, and hurriedly said: "Okay, of course, young and healthy, full of energy—"

The man laughed lightly.

Su Yuan's words stopped abruptly.
