The next day, it was the day of Cheng Qiheng and Wang Menghan's wedding, and early in the morning, Meng Zitao changed into a decent suit and drove to Cheng Qiheng's house.

Cheng Qiheng and the others couldn't help but be stunned when they saw Meng Zitao.

After Cheng Qiheng looked at Meng Zitao, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It's really a big mistake to ask you to be my best man." ”

It's no wonder that Cheng Qiheng would say this, originally Meng Zitao's appearance was okay, because of the accumulated changes in aura, not only his skin was outstanding, but his appearance was more handsome than before.

In addition, he has read a lot of books now, although he may not be full of wealth, but he can be regarded as erudite, so the whole person looks gentle and elegant.

However, this kind of change is cumulative over time, and Cheng Qiheng and they often come into contact with Meng Zitao, and the feeling is not so obvious.

But today, Meng Zitao chose a tailor-made suit, and an extraordinary handsome son jumped in front of him.

In fact, although Meng Zitao also wore a suit before, it was just a popular style, which could not show his figure or temperament, as for the suit on his body, he specially invited someone to customize, but he didn't expect the effect to be so outstanding, it looks like a natural hanger, if his height is enough, he can be a model.

After a few jokes, when the time was almost up, everyone set off to meet the bride.

Speaking of which, today is the first time that Meng Zitao has been a companion, so before leaving, he also found a lot of information, not wanting to fight an unprepared battle.

In addition to serving the groom and dealing with all temporary emergencies, the best man also has to fight for the groom and the group of bridesmaids when he gets married, so as to help the groom successfully return to the beauty. In addition, the best man should also pay attention to the groom's appearance at any time, calm the groom's mood, carry things for the groom, open the door, and serve as a receptionist at the door of the venue, guide the guests to enter the room smoothly, and so on.

It can be said that the best man's work is much more important than the bridesmaid's work, and Meng Zitao's task as the main companion is also more arduous.

This time, in addition to inviting Meng Zitao to be the main companion, Cheng Qiheng also invited five other companions, so Wang Menghan also invited six bridesmaids, all of whom were her classmates and friends.

If the bridesmaids invited by Wang Menghan were acquaintances, it would be easier in this link of pleaser, but except for Cheng Qiheng, no one else was familiar with it, so it was troublesome, and he completed several difficult requirements with great difficulty, so anxious that Cheng Qiheng was sweating profusely, and the other party agreed to let the groom enter the boudoir to welcome the bride.

Next, a team of newcomers knelt down in the living room to worship Wang Zhixuan and his wife, listened to the lecture, drank the soup of the early birth of Guizi and set off to Cheng Qiheng's house.

After a series of ceremonies, everyone set off for the hotel.

When I arrived at the hotel, it was a busy time, and because there were too many guests, Meng Zitao was not idle. Next, a toast was made, first at the main table, and as is customary, once around the hall with all the guests.

Today's wedding has prepared dozens of tables of banquets, not a single hall has been placed, and there are countless people toasting them.

Because Cheng Qiheng's grandfather Cheng Xiuyuan is a respected veteran in the antique industry in Lingshi, and Wang Zhixuan's status is also not low, so the men and women have come to many counterparts in the antique industry, and in the process of toasting, they have persuaded a lot of wine, and Meng Zitao, as the best man, must block a lot.

To tell the truth, that is, Meng Zitao, who has aura, does not drink much alcohol and water, otherwise, he would have drunk and lay down a long time ago, even so, the person is not drunk, but the stomach is already full of wine, and the rise is really uncomfortable.

Just as Meng Zitao was toasting, Xiaoyun whispered to He Wanyi: "I said Wanyi, you have to take care of your brother Meng, just like he is today, I don't know how many little girls have attracted the heart, look at that bridesmaid, that look, it seems that I can't wait to eat Brother Meng." ”

"It's not that exaggerated. He Wanyi said with a smile.

Xiaoyun said: "Hmph, don't believe it, the old saying is good, if you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer in front of you." ”

He Wanyi teased and said, "When are you an old man?"

Xiaoyun said: "Oh, don't care about this detail, you should understand the meaning of my words." ”

He Wanyi smiled: "I understand, but don't you know Zitao's personality? Besides, how do you let me take care of this kind of thing, follow him every day? I think so, if two people love each other, they should trust each other. Besides, it's not like you don't know, Zitao has liked me for a long time, and if you have to doubt it, then I'm too unconfident. ”

Xiaoyun thought about it, felt that what He Wanyi said also made some sense, and said, "Anyway, I suggest that you still have to do what you should do." ”

"I see, you better care more about yourself. He Wanyi smiled and pouted at Meng Hongchang.

Xiaoyun said triumphantly: "Hey, my family Hongchang is obedient to my governance." ”

"What's the matter?" Meng Hongchang seemed to hear Xiaoyun calling him, and hurriedly turned his head and asked.

"It's none of your business, you eat your food. Xiaoyun replied.

"Oh. ”

Seeing that Meng Hongchang really ate the dishes honestly, the people at the same table felt a little funny, and it seemed that another wife was born to be strict.

Finally completed the task, Meng Zitao called a tired, since he was a child, he has not been so tired, and he has made up his mind in his heart, unless he really can't push it, otherwise he will definitely never be someone else's best man again.

finally had time to sit down and eat a few bites of food, Meng Zitao found that after Wang Zhixuan answered a phone call, his expression suddenly became serious, and after hanging up the phone, he beckoned to Meng Zitao.

The two walked aside, and Meng Zitao asked, "Uncle Wang, is something happening?"

Wang Zhixuan nodded, his expression a little solemn: "Lao Ru's shop just caught fire. ”

"Are you talking about Ru Tongfu Ru's shopkeeper?"

Meng Zitao listened to Wang Zhixuan's words, and couldn't help but be stunned, Ru Tongfu is also the old shopkeeper of the antique street, he is about seventy years old, engaged in porcelain miscellaneous identification for a lifetime, low-key, does not seek fame, has rich experience in identification, and he is not like others, he does not hide this knowledge.

This also led to a group of collectors gathered around him, who often gathered together to talk and discuss knowledge. Ru Tongfu is humble, kind, and sincere, and he has a saying for his friends to identify the authenticity of things, and he is never ambiguous. Many people like to buy things from him, guaranteeing that there is no cheating.

I heard that such a good old man's antique shop actually caught fire, Meng Zitao was shocked, not to mention, today Ru Tongfu also came to attend the wedding, just now when the toast, Meng Zitao also touched a glass with him, I didn't expect a while, I actually heard this bad news, if Ru Tongfu knew I don't know how sad it should be.

Thinking of this, Meng Zitao looked over to where Ru Tongfu was sitting, and found that there was no one at his table, so he should have left for this matter.

Meng Zitao hurriedly asked, "Uncle Wang, how is the situation of the fire?"

Wang Zhixuan said: "Just now, it was said on the phone that after the fire department arrived at the scene, they found that the first and second floors of the store had all been burned, and thick smoke came out of the roller shutter doors and windows, and the roller shutter doors were locked and could not be opened......

"Wait......" Meng Zitao interrupted Wang Zhixuan's words and said, "This seems to be a little wrong, Ru Lao's shop is not very old, and he also pays attention to fire prevention, how can it be possible to burn out the upper and lower floors in a while?"

Wang Zhixuan shook his head: "I don't understand this either. ”

An idea popped up in Meng Zitao's mind: "You say, could it be that someone did it on purpose?"

Wang Zhixuan said with some hesitation: "This shouldn't be possible, Lao Ru is a good man, I haven't heard that he has such a big grudge against anyone." ”

Wang Zhixuan pondered for a moment, and then said: "Okay, don't worry about this matter for now, I called you over to ask you to go to Lao Ru to take a look, if there is any situation, contact me at any time." ”

"Okay......

Meng Zitao nodded, and went to say hello to He Wanyi and them, and when they heard what happened, everyone was very surprised, and Zhang Jingqiang, who was sitting at the same table, hurriedly said that he would send Meng Zitao to the antique street in his car.

Greeted Cheng Qiheng, Meng Zitao took Zhang Jingqiang's car and came to the antique street, on the way, he called the sixth child and asked about the situation.

Lao Liu told Meng Zitao on the phone that because he did not find that there were people trapped in the antique shop, after understanding the situation, the commander immediately organized officers and soldiers to break down the roller shutter door, and after opening it, he found that the house was filled with thick smoke and the fire was in the stage of fierce burning, and the commander immediately issued a combat mission, and after nearly 20 minutes of intense fighting, the fire was extinguished.

Now the firefighters are carefully inspecting the scene to see if there is a fire hazard at the scene, and they are still investigating what caused the fire at that time.

After learning what happened from Mencius Zitao, Zhang Jingqiang asked a little strangely: "I remember, Ru Lao should have recruited a buddy, at noon, why wasn't he in the store?

Meng Zitao said: "I also think there is something wrong with this matter, but if you want to say that this thing is because someone has a feud with Ru Lao, I think Ru Lao should not be a person, right?"

"Well, you're right, why?"

"Forget it, let's not bother with it, what is the outcome of this matter, we will always investigate clearly......"

Since the hotel is not far from the antique street, ten minutes later, Zhang Jingqiang's car was parked in the parking lot of the antique street.

As soon as he got out of the car, Meng Zitao, who had an unusually keen sense of smell, smelled a faint smell of burning, so Meng Zitao and Zhang Jingqiang walked quickly towards Ru Tongfu's shop.

When he was about to reach his destination, Meng Zitao saw from a distance that Ru Tongfu looked at the blackened shop with a somewhat dull expression. The store that has taken countless years of hard work has been burned down like this, and no matter who it is, the mood will be extremely heavy and painful.

At this time, Ru Tongfu's son and several friends were persuading Ru Tongfu, and when Meng Zitao and they were about to walk over, they saw Ru Tongfu sighing long.

Ru Tongfu's son persuaded: "Dad, the antique shop is gone, we can build it again, don't think about not opening it!"

Ru Tongfu waved his hand: "Don't worry, I won't be unable to think about it, hey! In the end, this is fate!"

At this time, Meng Zitao and Zhang Jingqiang walked up to them and said a few words of comfort.

"Mr. Ru, what is the situation now? Has the fire department found out what caused the fire?" Meng Zitao asked Ru Tongfu's son.

Ru Tongfu's son is called Ru Miao, and he said angrily: "Now the preliminary opinion is that someone deliberately set the fire, I really don't understand, what kind of person my father is, I guess we have heard of it in the antique world of Ling City, he is like this, there are still people who set fires, I don't know what kind of heart he has!"

Although Meng Zitao already had some guesses in his heart, he was also very angry when he heard that someone had indeed deliberately set the fire.

Zhang Jingqiang opened his mouth and asked, "Old Ru, where is the guy you invited now?"

Ru Miao said angrily: "I don't know where it went, this matter must have nothing to do with him." ”

Meng Zitao said: "Old Ru, I don't mean anything else, I just want to ask, how is your relationship with this guy?"

Ru Tongfu said gloomily: "He has a good temper, treats me very well, and loves to learn, I originally planned to accept him as a closed disciple." ”

Hearing Ru Tongfu say this, everyone couldn't figure out, how could such a person deliberately set fire? Unless he was pretending, could there be such a big grudge between the two?

Ru Tongfu then said bitterly: "In my life, it can be said that I have never had any deep grudges with others, I don't understand why someone would treat me like this!"

Don't say that Ru Rufu can't figure it out, everyone also can't figure out what's going on, but as the old saying goes, where there is a result, there must be a cause, and there must be something in it.

Meng Zitao said: "I think that guy should be found as soon as possible now, and the reason should be found." ”

Everyone agreed, so Meng Zitao called Zhao Linwei again and asked him for help, hoping to find someone as soon as possible.

Today is a sunny day, the temperature is relatively high, and now it is hot, Meng Zitao stood for a while, and felt too hot, not to mention, Ru Tongfu is still an old man in his seventies, depressed, and a heat, the body will not be able to stand it.

So, Meng Zitao proposed that Ru Tongfu go to the house to sit for a while, and the shopkeeper of the antique shop next door hurriedly responded, and then the group went into the store to wait for the news, and Ru Miao went to wait for the news alone.

Everyone sat for a while, and Meng Zitao received a call from Zhao Linwei, saying that Ge Jing (the guy's name) had been found, or that this person didn't plan to run far because he felt guilty.

Moreover, Ge Jing actually has no grievances with Ru Tongfu, and the reason why he set the fire was completely at the behest of others and wanted to make a sum of money. Because his mother was seriously ill and needed a large sum of money to cure, the chief minister promised that he would solve the problem when the matter was completed, and he agreed.
