Seeing Zhou Yun coming, Tong Mu also hurriedly got up to greet him, and said with a smile: "Cousin, why did you think of coming here today?" ”

Zhou Yun smiled and explained: "I just came to Liufangju with a few friends near here, because I was a little hungry in my stomach, so I came to Liufangju to have some wine and rice. As he spoke, he asked as if he had just discovered the shopkeeper Wu on the side: "Old Wu, why are you crying with a sad face, but is there any difficulty?" ”

Looking at this crappy acting skills, a trace of disapproval flashed in Sun Tu's eyes. But he was not in a hurry to pick out the problem, but wanted to see what this man could do here. But Tong Mu didn't seem to see any problems, and said along with the other party's question: "I was also worried that Liufangju's business would be light, so I wanted to ask San Lang to help come up with ideas, but he was ...... in Wu's shopkeeper."

When Zhou Yun heard this, his face sank, and his hostile gaze fell on Sun Tu's face: "You instigated the second son to do this, right?" You're so daring! ”

Facing Zhou Yun's aggressive appearance, Sun Tu didn't mean to be nervous at all, but just looked at him: "I don't understand what Zhou Gongzi said, what is instigation?" ”

"Hmph, do you know how many years Lao Wu has been in my Tong family, and how many years have he helped take care of this Liufang Residence? I'm afraid I didn't have you at that time! Zhou Yunman said angrily: "At the beginning, he was in charge of Liufangju and made this one of the most famous hotels in the seventy-two main stores in the capital, but now that there are some difficulties, do you actually want to instigate the second prince to fire such an old courtier?" If the news gets out, how will the people in Tokyo think of him and our Tong family? ”

Tong Muxin said that I had never had such a plan, but before I could say anything, I heard Zhou Yun continue: "Second son, how can there be such a thing as making money or losing money in business trading, although the business of this first-class Fangju has been cold recently, so you can't get too much profit, but you can't treat the old man of my Tong family like this." In my opinion, the most hateful thing is this Sun Tu, it must be his lust for profit that will make you make such a foolish decision! ”

This rush to whiteness made Tong Mu a little unable to react. And Sun Tu didn't mean to argue for himself at this time, just watched Zhou Yun play, but he had already vaguely guessed something in his heart.

At this time, two of the sons who came with Zhou Yun also stepped forward to persuade him: "Second son Tong, although we are all outsiders, there are still some things that we have to say. You really shouldn't treat your old man like this for a month or two for someone who has been with you for a month or two, maybe he has ulterior motives, and if the matter gets out, your reputation will not be good. ”

Shopkeeper Wu said in a timely manner: "Second son, if you really want to exempt me from my errand, the little old man will definitely not dare to complain, and the blame is only on the little one's own incompetence, and the blame is ......."

Well, now that there are people singing with red faces and white faces, Tong Mu is obviously not a decisive character, at this time, it is naturally impossible to stick to the idea just now, so he can only smile bitterly: "What my cousin said is that I am a little too eager, so let's put this matter aside for now." ”

"Thank you Second Son, the little one will definitely think of taking care of the restaurant in the future, and I will never let you down." Shopkeeper Wu breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly thanked him again and again, and several other people also said that Tong Mu was knowledgeable. Afterwards, several people ate and drank at the same table with Tong Mu, although there was talk and laughter during the banquet, they deliberately snubbed Sun Tu, making him look so boring.

Tong Mu naturally saw all this in his eyes, so it didn't take long for him to leave the restaurant with Sun Tu under the pretext that there was still something to do. Seeing them leave in embarrassment, Zhou Yun showed a smug look in his eyes: "I knew that you were such a character, so I naturally have the means to deal with you." ”

After leaving the restaurant, Tong Guan looked at Sun Tu apologetically: "San Lang, I'm going to disappoint you this time, I really didn't think about it, plus my cousin they came suddenly, so ......"

Sun Tu led the horse with him and walked slowly, and when he heard this, he laughed: "Why, second brother, don't you see, Zhou Gongzi was specially invited by the shopkeeper Wu to rescue the soldiers." ”

"Oh?" When Tong Mu heard this, his brows furrowed, and he seemed to understand a little.

"When Shopkeeper Wu invited us upstairs just now, he gave the guys on the side a look, but I saw this. And how can there be such a coincidental thing, not long after we arrived today, Zhou Gongzi suddenly rushed to us, and he was obviously coming at us. ”

Tong Mu nodded suddenly: "I see, no wonder." ”

What's even stranger is the reaction of the shopkeeper Wu, why did he think of asking Gongzi Zhou to come to the rescue? Also, when I asked him about why the price of alcohol in the foot shops outside was lower than ours, he also said that it was not easy. Sun Tu expressed his doubts again.

"So you suspect that this is the shopkeeper Wu secretly doing something? But he is indeed an old man of my Tong family for many years, and he has been taking care of this restaurant before my uncle gave it to me, how could he ......?"

That's not because you look so bullying, Sun Tu didn't say it directly, but he said from a different angle: "This should be someone supporting him, so it made his courage and greed bigger." After all, people's hearts are insufficient. ”

"You mean cousin?" Tong Mu said with some hesitation, and then thought of something: "Speaking of which, my uncle did hand over Liufangju to my cousin to take care of before. It was only when I came to Tokyo that my uncle handed over the restaurant to me in order to make me a little more productive. ”

"The root cause lies in this, Zhou Gongzi is obviously not happy to be robbed of a piece of his own meat, so he made this decision." Sun Tu nodded clearly, which would explain why the shopkeeper Wu would think of asking Zhou Yun for help whenever he was in trouble, it turned out that they were in the same group. In addition, they knew Tong Mu's character very well, and knew that he was a gentleman and could be bullied, so they used the old man of the Tong family and his own reputation to squeeze him, which made him change his mind.

"But...... What are they doing in the shadows? Tong Mu already believed Sun Tu's inference a little, but he still had some doubts in his heart.

Sun Tu looked at a few foot shops on the side of the road, thought for a moment and said, "The truth of the matter should fall on these foot shops." They shouldn't dare to do anything more today, but in two days we'll be able to find out when we look in the dark. ”

After a little hesitation, Tong Mu finally agreed to his suggestion, but his face was not so good-looking. After all, being so calculated behind someone's back will not be happy if anyone is replaced.

&&&&&

Three days later, near dusk.

The market is still full of people, and many pedestrians feel hungry, so they find a nearby hotel to buy food and drink, which makes many hotels along the street quite good.

The only thing that's different is Liufangju. This rather magnificent-looking restaurant has few customers at this time, and both the shopkeeper and the guys are leaning on the edge of the counter with a lazy look, and there is no intention of attracting guests to the door at all.

But just after it was dark, the shopkeeper Wu suddenly moved, and while ordering a man to guard in front, he had already led someone to the back door. After a while, several ox carts appeared sneaking up in the alley where the back door of the restaurant was located.

After seeing the pot-bellied merchant who had brought the ox cart here, Shopkeeper Wu laughed and asked, "How much do you want this time?" ”

"If it's still the old price, it will cost two hundred jars."

"I think it's better for you to ask for more, there have been some problems in our restaurant recently, maybe I'll have to stop here for a month or two."

"Oh? Then ask for three hundred altars. The merchant was also easy to speak, and immediately stretched out three fingers and said, "But I don't have so much cash with me, and I'll send it to you in two days?" ”

"Well, let's pay for the two hundred jars first." Shopkeeper Wu nodded in satisfaction.

After the other party handed over a big package, the shopkeeper Wu hurriedly ordered someone to open the back door completely and let the ox carts enter. It took a long time for the ox carts to come out again, but the empty carts were now filled with jars of wine.

And all of this was clearly seen by Sun Tu and Tong Mu, who were watching in an attic not far away, the latter's face was even more iron-blue, and his body was obviously trembling with anger: "It's really greasy!" ”
