Chapter 19: The Guards

Meng Shichen didn't know that Shang Junzhu had already begun to investigate the situation in various places in order to come up with a bargaining chip to make her return to the Lingshan faction willingly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

At this time, she had just returned to Zuixianglou after delivering tea from all rooms. None of the guards were in the guest room, so they probably went out to handle some kind of case. Well, except for Xiao Liu, who followed her.

"Miss Meng, have you offended the guests who came today?" The most idle young man, Wei Bizhi, sat cross-legged on the square stool and looked at her with his chin propped up, but the chopsticks in his hand pointed at the guards behind her.

Meng Shichen changed a plate of peanuts for him, and said helplessly: "It's not because of my identity as a shopkeeper dressed as a man, but now I'm the number one suspicious person." Alas! ”

"That's a big deal." The corners of Wei Bizhi's faint smile gradually opened the arc, and then he laughed violently, "Number one suspicious person, are you still in prison?" ”

You're going to be in jail! Meng Shichen scolded fiercely, a pair of eyes skimmed over, and Wei Bizhi immediately suppressed his laughter.

Meng Shichen didn't bother to talk to him, turned around and walked towards the counter. Just as he was about to wake up the young shopkeeper, who was sleeping in the dark, he saw a man come in at the door. "Hello guest officer, are you eating? Or a hotel? ”

She greeted it with a smile, only to find that this person was very familiar. He looked like he was in his forties, thin, with a beard hanging down to his chest, and a solemn face, as if he was always on his mind.

"You're the new helper?" As soon as the old man spoke, Meng Shichen immediately remembered who he was, wasn't he the cow butler who was possessed by Shang Junzhu and saved her last time?

Meng Shichen nodded: "Yes, do you want to ......?"

"Hurry up and bring the medicine in the kitchen and follow me to the house," Butler Niu interrupted her directly and walked into the back kitchen, "The house is in urgent need of manpower, and there is no one here anyway, so you can go to the house with me to help." ”

Steward Niu said that he could not refuse, but Meng Shichen's heart beat a drum. Before, he went to Lingshan to deliver a power of attorney, and the entrusted task wouldn't be the sick son, right?!

Meng Shichen was shocked, but secretly said God help me.

This son is the source of gossip about the dismal business of Zuixianglou, if he takes this opportunity to cure his "illness", and then puts forward suggestions to improve Zuixianglou, he will be valued by the big shopkeeper and the proprietress of the boss.

In this way, she will have the opportunity to manage Zuixiang Building, and when the time comes, experience and connections will not be a matter of handy?

"Great!" Meng Shichen smiled sweetly, and diligently ran into the back kitchen to carry the wooden box with the charge and followed behind the cow steward. Seeing that she was so nimble, the cow steward stretched a lot of sad eyebrows.

It's just that just a few steps out of the door, Steward Niu frequently twisted his eyebrows to look at her. Meng Shichen felt strange, and looked around to find that Xiao Liu was following her with a wooden face. Forget it, what's going on with the other figure in purple?

"That, Bi Zhi, why are you following us?" Meng Shichen looked embarrassed, this idle and moldy little boy wouldn't be going to see the excitement, right?

Wei Bizhi was confused: "I didn't follow you, I just happened to be on the same road." Eminent...... Little second brother, you are too worried. ”

"Hehe, that's good." Meng Shichen smiled awkwardly, God knows what will happen to people who are possessed by the undead. To this day, she has only seen Shang Junzhu possessing someone else and Senior Brother Leng Mian's leopard possessing a seriously injured man.

Others, haven't seen yet. If this little boy also goes with him, if something happens, she will probably go to prison with the people of the Zhang family.

The cow steward next to him breathed a sigh of relief, although he had some doubts about the man in the fresh clothes and mighty behind him, but when he saw the clothes of the Ouchi guards on his body, he had to quietly walk away.

In fact, Meng Shichen was also very worried that Butler Niu would ask Xiao Liu why he followed. If she knew that she was suspected by the people of the government, and there were guards in Ouchi who were personally watching, it was estimated that there would be no place for her in this drunken incense building.

Zhang's house is not far from Zuixianglou and Tongfu Inn, to be exact, they are connected. Zhang's house faces the sparsely populated alley, but it is backed by Zuixiang House and Tongfu Inn, and these two heavy buildings are facing the bustling main street.

Just because of those rumors, the Zhang family asked a craftsman to seal the trail that was connected. Now if you want to go from Zuixianglou to Zhang's house, you have to go around in a big circle.

When he arrived at Zhang's house, Steward Niu finally couldn't hold his breath. He put down the two big food boxes, respectfully hugged his fists towards Xiaoliu and said, "This official, the house is messy, please stop here." ”

"I have a mission to do, and I won't meddle in the affairs of this house. You just have to do your own thing. Wood Xiaoliu spoke in a polite tone, but his face was expressionless, which can be called "seven points into the wood".

"......" Steward Niu's eviction order was blocked, so he had to let him in.

Meng Shichen was secretly happy on the side, this little six seemed to be definitely not bad. Wait a minute, if the possessed Zhang Jiagongzi threatens her personal safety as an "important suspect", Xiao Liu will definitely not stand idly by.

This is equivalent to picking up a guard for nothing!

The moment Meng Shichen stepped into the vermilion gate, he was shocked by the terrifying scene in the compound. The walls of the courtyard were mottled with potholes, porcelain and dirt from flower pots flew everywhere, and broken green tiles were scattered on the ground.

The floor tiles were also shattered into pieces, as if they had been run over by a tank.

"What's going on?" Looking at the mess, Meng Shichen asked unconsciously.

Before the cow steward could speak, the guard Xiaoliu immediately squinted his eyes and stepped forward to observe, like a hunting dog that is extremely keen on catching clues to crimes. It's called professional instinct, right?

Meng Shichen pursed his lips, suspecting innocent people is also a professional instinct?

"Don't worry so much, just do your thing." Steward Niu had a calm face, as if he was accustomed to all this. Meng Shichen cautiously followed behind him, this possessed undead seemed to be very tricky.

Walking into the inner courtyard, the situation was even worse, with broken tables and chairs piled up in the corner. A few small servants were sweeping the mess all over the floor, and in the main hall sat a man and a woman, the man was about fifty years old, his face was dark, thin and old.

The female Meng Shichen had seen it, and it was the proprietress she had seen that night.

In front of them stood a disheveled little guy who looked like he was being trained. It's a pity that Meng Shichen guessed wrong, it wasn't that little guy who was being trained, but someone who was waiting for the doctor next to him to prescribe medicine.

"Master, madam, the decoction and dinner are ready...... Butler Niu stepped forward to ask, and the man opposite waved his hand tiredly: "Put the meal down for the time being, and send the decoction to Mang'er first." ”

As soon as these words came out, Meng Shichen saw the little guy next to him tremble obviously. After a closer look, I found that he was Ding Ping, the shopkeeper that day.

It's not been long since I saw him, why is he covered in injuries? Meng Shichen remembered what he said in the Drunken Xianglou that day and the hateful glance at him, and seemed to understand something.

He hated her arrival for squeezing him out of Zhang's side.
