Chapter Ninety-Four: The Restaurant Was Burgled
Chen's Restaurant was robbed tonight.
When the matter came back as soon as possible, Chen Chu had already fallen asleep, and it was Qin Jian and the third daughter who got the news.
Several people hesitated to tell Chen Chu, but in the end, An Yijia knocked on Chen Chu's door and woke him up.
"A burglary? I think it's more reliable to talk about robbery directly, there is no defense force over there. ”
Chen Chu was depressed, and the sleepiness in his body naturally disappeared.
"Let's go, let Han Ding bring some men and horses with us, and I'll count the losses."
Chen Chu felt that this time the matter was not small, and he didn't know how many supplies he had stored in the restaurant now, and his intuition felt that there were not many, because the restaurant would come over every day to ask him to replenish the supplies.
The problem is that I have left a copper hot pot over there, so that I don't have to run back and forth with this thing when I have to eat in the restaurant.
And although I can't remember anything else, I have the impression that there are some quantities of potatoes and beer left over there, and there may be dozens of bags of potatoes and dozens of beers.
If you don't count the hot pot, the loss is at least a few hundred complaints.
The most important thing is how can this kind of thing be spread through stealing, isn't this a slap in the face?
Midnight had passed, more than 200 horsemen and a luxury carriage were hurrying on the road, and no one dared to be a passing official, and Quan Dang didn't see it.
When I arrived at the restaurant, countless people had gathered around, most of them were people from Xinghuafang, and the government had already come to maintain order.
Li Xiaogong happened to be nearby tonight because he was delayed on official business, and he also rushed over with an ugly face at this time.
He didn't know how many supplies Chen Chu had left in the restaurant, but if anything was stolen, it would be a great loss.
You must know that with his relationship with Chen Chu, all kinds of items are only enough for himself, how can such a good thing come from, and he can enjoy the same life as him by stealing?
The assassination of Xiao Chen has not been fully investigated before, and now it has been stolen again.
No wonder Chen Chu jumped to his feet and scolded Chang'an for its poor order, isn't it.
At the feet of the Son of Heaven, in the heavy land of Gyeonggi, Chen Chu was suffering two times in three days, which made them, the important ministers of the court, lose face.
At this time, Hou Junji and Zhang Shigui were still slowly drinking and eating.
There are a lot of shredded potatoes, but there is not enough beer, so both of them taste it slowly, for fear that they will drink it quickly and not have enough fun when the time comes.
At this time, the news from Xinghuafang also came, and the two people immediately stood up.
"Bastard! I didn't enjoy such a good thing, but it was stolen by thieves! ”
Hou Jun slapped the table angrily, and then hurriedly held the wine bottle that almost fell off.
Although he didn't know what was in Chen Chu Restaurant, there were rolls of paper, stir-fried beer, etc. flowing out there every day, so he must have some inventory, right?
He could only take two bottles of beer and sip them a little, and if someone stole a lot of beer at once and went back to pour it in a big gulp, then he would really be angry.
"Shigui, you are now the leader of the forbidden army, and you have the right to close the whole city, these thieves dare not go out of the city openly at night, they will still stay in Chang'an, let's catch turtles in an urn!"
Zhang Shigui agreed, and the two immediately divided into two ways, Zhang Shigui went to mobilize people to give orders, and Hou Junji also had his own special dead soldiers, who melted into the night and began to investigate.
The left and right guards cavalry were stationed in the restaurant, and Chen Chu and the third girl went straight to their own room on the fourth floor and the storage room next to it.
The shopkeeper of the restaurant stood next to him with a frightened face at this time.
Chen Chu first took a look at the hot pot he had hidden in the dark compartment, and found that it had not been lost, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
Some of the things placed in his bed and cabinet are still there, which means that the stolen materials are in the storage room, so the loss should not be large.
"There are 31 bags of potatoes, 85 beer, 19 barrels of purified water and seven seasoning boxes stored in the storage room, and now all the cruice boxes have been stolen, and half of the potatoes and beer have been lost, and there is no shortage of pure water."
The shopkeeper trembled and trembled, and there was a tragedy in his heart.
It's over, now that my shopkeeper is at the end, I will never see these things that make Chang'an people crazy in the future, and I will no longer be able to taste these delicious foods with the help of my position.
An Yijia snorted coldly: "So many things...... How long did the theft last? ”
The shopkeeper replied: "It will not take more than half a pillar of incense, we will come to check these materials regularly, and when we hear the movement, we will quickly come over and frighten the thieves." ”
"Can you see what?"
The shopkeeper replied: "There are quite a few of them, and they are a little clumsy, and you can see that they can be seen on the window edge." ”
Chen Chu and a few people walked over to take a look, and sure enough, there were dense footprints.
"So many things, it should be taken away at one time, the beer is heavy, a person can carry a maximum of two pieces, a person can carry a maximum of one bag of potatoes, twenty-five to more than thirty people."
Chen Chu made his own judgment, he was familiar with these things, and naturally judged the number of people on the other side.
"Then there should be a lot of their targets, what should we do now, adults, should we stay here and continue to protect you, or will we go to investigate together?"
"There are left and right guards to protect me, you can go play."
Chen Chu waved his hand, the three girls should take the initiative when they encounter things, and add all kinds of experience to increase their ability to deal with emergencies in the future.
The three girls left one after another, and Chen Chu came to the kitchen to fry shredded potatoes, mixed a cucumber, took two bottles of beer and came back to sit and eat a supper, and at the same time motioned for the master to come over and eat together.
The shopkeeper couldn't guess what the master was going to do, and thought it was a dismissal wine, and his heart was sad.
"Okay, don't look like a bitter melon, don't I know what kind of ability you have, and you're not a martial arts master, can you watch these things?"
Chen Chu patted him on the shoulder and asked him to pick up the chopsticks.
"I'll find some masters to come to the restaurant to protect it, and you still do your part, for example, although the restaurant was stolen today, it's good that you can find it in time, otherwise these things may not be left."
Chen Chu encouraged him that although there were many people in Chang'an, he didn't want to meet so many strangers one by one.
After he hired the shopkeeper of this restaurant, he usually didn't have any problems doing things, and there was no need to replace him if he made a mistake, but he could also use this to win his loyalty.
Sure enough, the shopkeeper of the restaurant was grateful, and he couldn't wait to get his liver and brain to the ground.
He didn't dare to eat too much, and after a few chopsticks, he quickly said goodbye and left after enduring the bite of the gluttonous worm in his heart, of course, the bottle of beer he drank was taken with him.
Li Xiaogong, who was wearing armor and holding a sword, hurried over and explained to Chen Chu that he happened to return late, and his own soldiers had already begun to search the city by various means.
"What kind of mission is there at night, such a coincidence, let's have some supper together."
Chen Chu went to the kitchen to fry a few more dishes, took a few bottles of beer and drank with Lao Jing, Li Xiaogong waited for the reply of his subordinates while eating and drinking, and chatted with Chen Chu about the safety of Chang'an City.
"Chen Chu, you really can't blame Chang'an City for the chaos, you probably know the current situation in my Datang."
"Just ten years after the fall of the previous dynasty, a large number of remnants still retain their loyalty to the Sui Dynasty, and the remnants of Prince Yin and King Qi have not yet been cleaned up."
"The spies of the Western Regions, Tibet, and the grasslands have also taken root in Chang'an for various chaotic reasons, some for a long time, and even dormant for more than ten years."
"Coupled with the attraction of these things of yours, it is normal for some people to take risks."
