Chapter Twenty-Six: Chunjiang Restaurant
The moon is dark and the wind is high.
Xu Rui only took one of his cronies, Xu Jia, got into the carriage, and embarked on the journey to Chunjiang Restaurant.
"Big butler, just the two of us, will it be too dangerous." Xu Jia said uneasily.
Hearing this, Xu Rui thought for a while, and subconsciously touched his beard, as if he was thinking about something.
"I asked you to spy on Zheng Si, how are you doing?"
"Chief butler, I have arranged four groups of people to take turns to monitor Zheng Si, and there will be no mistakes."
"Then do you think Zheng Si has a problem?" Xu Rui asked a rhetorical question, which was quite interesting.
Zheng Si is only a teenager, he usually looks like he has no problems, he feels that he is also smart, and he is diligent in his work. The big housekeeper forgave Xu Jia for being stupid, Xu Jia really couldn't see anything. ”
Xu Jia's words were very clear, he felt that Zheng Si was fine, but when Xu Rui heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and hummed.
"This kid thinks it's very similar, but in fact, at a young age, he was nothing more than being taught to be like this. Look at the mastermind behind the scenes, who can use Langzhong Zheng Qi as bait to focus the spearhead of the entire Songjiang Mansion on the Xu family, such a scheming. Do you still think this child sent by Zheng Qi is okay? ”
Hearing this, Xu Jia seemed to understand something.
"Big butler, do you mean that this Zheng Si is also the bait thrown by the mastermind behind the scenes? Zheng Qi and Zheng Si's uncle and nephew, are they both bait that the mastermind behind the scenes can sacrifice at any time? ”
Xu Rui nodded, and then said again.
"However, the mastermind behind this scene is acting strangely, if he wants to be unfavorable to my Xu family, then now this dead move, this person has already set up for the Xu family."
"He wants to harm my Xu family, you can do it now. But why not? ”
Xu Rui stopped at this point, seemingly a little unsure of the answer.
"Perhaps, he didn't want to destroy the Xu family, he just wanted to talk about the conditions."
When Xu Jia heard this, he seemed to understand something.
"Big housekeeper, no wonder you don't agree, I said that hundreds of people from the Xu family were dispatched to demolish this hotel."
"It turns out that this person wants to talk to us, and we still quietly go to meet this person."
As he spoke, the carriage stopped.
Chunjiang Restaurant, arrived.
The restaurant looks a little shabby and doesn't have a lot of traffic, but it can survive in this somewhat remote place.
Xu Rui walked to the door, asked Xu Jia to stay outside, and knocked on the door himself.
"Old man Xu Rui, come to live in Guibaodi."
As soon as these words were spoken, a crack opened at the door of the inn.
"Excuse me, whose Xu is it?"
"Songjiang Mansion, Huating County, Xu Family."
"I've been waiting for a long time, please come in."
Xu Rui entered the door and entered this dilapidated restaurant, there were only a few lights inside, and the space looked a little dim.
A long table, opposite which sat an old man, who looked a little older than Xu Rui.
"You are?" Xu Rui asked in surprise.
As the old man pushed the oil lamp in his hand, Xu Rui realized that this person seemed to be known to him.
"Uncle Ye of the Hundred Grass Pavilion?" Xu Rui seemed a little unable to accept this result.
"That's right, I'm Ye Bo." Ye Bo responded.
"Zheng Si said, is that the so-called Zheng Qi's friend you?"
Ye Bo nodded.
"Why? What's all going on? What is the relationship between you and Zheng Qi? ”
Xu Rui pulled out a chair and sat opposite Ye Bo.
Ye Bo: "I think you should know a lot of things. So Steward Xu, we are also old acquaintances, if you have any questions, you can raise them first. Let's talk about something else. ”
Xu Rui: "Are you the mastermind of the Zheng Qi case that made Songjiang Mansion boiling?" ”
Ye Bo: "That's right, I'm one of the masterminds. ”
Xu Rui: "What do you want?" ”
Xu Rui's sentence went straight to the point and directly asked the most critical question.
Ye Bo shook his head and said, "We don't want anything else, we just want justice." ”
Xu Rui: "What justice?" ”
Ye Bo: "My shop, Baicao Pavilion, was taken away by the Fang family. Did the shopkeeper Xu ever know about this? ”
Xu Rui touched his nose and said embarrassedly: "It seems that you know something, you offended the Fang family, and the Fang family hired a ruffian to force you to redeem the shop with cash and redeem yourself." ”
Ye Bo: "I once repaired a book and sent it to you Xu Da's shopkeeper." Rescued my father and son, why did the big shopkeeper turn a deaf ear? ”
Ye Bo's words made Xu Rui's face a little ugly.
Xu Rui: "There are more than 200 shops of this size like Baicao Pavilion, and Ye Bo has a personal relationship with me, but the Xu family has nothing to do with Baicao Pavilion, let me use the power of the Xu family to save Baicao Pavilion, which is really for public and private use, and it is absolutely impossible." ”
Xu Rui: "Moreover, the Xu family and the Fang family are both one of the three major families in Songjiang Mansion, and they are also partners. Not to mention, our Xu family and the Fang family are about to get married. At this time, if there is some gap in the Fang family, I am afraid that it will be a loss of both people and money. ”
Ye Bo frowned, but quickly relaxed.
Ye Bo: "It turns out that this Xu family's huge courtyard is the so-called moral heirloom!" No wonder, no wonder, it's all for outsiders to see! ”
Xu Rui: "Ye Bo, you and I must know the gameplay of this game very well. There is a wrong, there is a debtor, and the sins done by this Fang family can't push down the head of my Xu family. ”
"If it is just for this little thing, if you can let Ye Bo set up such a big game of chess, it is inevitable that you will look up to my Xu family too much, right?"
Xu Rui's smile at this time was a little sarcastic, and in the face of Ye Bo, Xu Rui had nothing to fear.
A small shopkeeper like Ye Bo, Xu Rui has hundreds or thousands of subordinates, and with Ye Bo's intelligence, Xu Rui can already see through it at a glance.
Xu Rui: "The family property was taken away and the relatives were separated, such a story. I don't know how much it will happen every day. ”
"Uncle Ye, as far as the market in Songjiang Mansion knows, there are at least more than 100 shops extorted by the Fang family, where do you tell them to go to avenge their grievances? To do business in Songjiang Prefecture, you must have the rules of Songjiang Prefecture. ”
"The Fang family asked the shop that no one behind him to give him thirty percent of the profits, you are not willing to call the Fang family this thirty percent of the monthly example, isn't it normal for the stall to be smashed?"
Ye Bo: "Then why did he draw me 30% of the profits, is his Fang family the god of Songjiang Mansion?" Does this Ming still have a royal law? Isn't this Fang family afraid that someone will sue Jinling and then sue to the capital? ”
When Xu Rui heard the complaint, he stroked his beard undeniably.
Xu Rui: "Uncle Ye, you know very well that on this matter, don't say whether the adults in the capital can take care of it." I'm afraid that the adults in Jinling City will directly knock you out of Nanzhili. ”
"So, Uncle Ye, you should hate the Fang family, you don't have to hate my Xu family."
"Say, who is the person who used this manpower and material resources to design and frame my Xu family? 、”
"Who is the person behind you?"
