Chapter 756: Eating and Drinking

After entering the box, Chen Xiaoting ordered seven or eight dishes casually, and Xiao Er happily went downstairs to deliver the dishes.

Although there are not many dishes ordered by Chen Xiaoting, they are all the most expensive batches, Xiao Er is naturally very happy, the key is that all this is easy.

These masters are really wealthy...... Xiao Er thought so in his heart.

After a while, the dishes were served one after another, and the little two who were supposed to go to the running hall also served the dishes together.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we can't just go up to the third floor here, if something is missed, maybe the government will find out about you!" Xiao Er cautioned.

He just wanted to lead the topic, otherwise if Chen Xiaoting forgot about this stubble, where would he go for the next reward.

For Chen Xiaoting, this is really sleepy, someone sent a pillow, and he was worried that he couldn't find a chance to ask!

So Chen Xiaoting said: "Little Er, what happened on the third floor?" ”

"This ......" Xiao Er looked embarrassed, but his eyes glanced at the money bag on Yang Kai's body.

This made Chen Xiaoting laugh, as long as it was a problem that money could solve, it would not be a problem at all.

After Chen Xiaoting glanced at Yang Kai, he said: "I am the most curious, the more strange things I want to know!" ”

Taking the broken silver handed over by Yang Kai, Xiao Er quickly put the silver into his arms very skillfully, and then said: "Guest officer, originally the store didn't let you talk about this, but since the guest officer is so arrogant, the villain won't hide it from you!" ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Er said: "More than a month ago, the father-in-law of the East Factory in the city was in our Ming Yulou to feast the leading figures in the city, but after three rounds of drinking...... Killed! ”

Chen Xiaoting pretended to be surprised and said, "There is such a thing? Who is so bold? ”

Xiao Er glanced outside the box, and only after making sure that there was no one did he say: "It's Xiao Er in our store, this guy sneaked into the clean room on the third floor, and stabbed that father-in-law seven or eight times, and the knife was bloody......

As if he was afraid of disturbing Chen Xiaoting's meal, Xiao Er stopped after saying this.

Chen Xiaoting pretended to be even more puzzled, and then asked, "Where did the little two people who killed people come from?" Is there an enmity with this father-in-law? ”

In fact, Chen Xiaoting knew the situation inside, and he was asking questions at this time just to hear other answers.

"This villain didn't know, the guy took poison on the same day, and after he succeeded, he died of poison...... Who until what he thinks! ”

"Is this person easy to get along with on weekdays?" Chen Xiaoting then asked.

But his questioning had deviated from his curiosity about the story, so Xiao Er's face showed doubt, so Chen Xiaoting continued: "The father-in-law who dares to kill Dongchang, if he has no hatred and no grudges, isn't it crazy to lose his heart?" ”

These words diverted Xiao Er's attention, so Xiao Er said, "Who knows...... That guy only came to our restaurant three months ago, and the big guy is not familiar with him! ”

He only came to the restaurant within three months, and this was the first useful news Chen Xiaoting received, so he asked, "Is it?" Everyone else in the restaurant is earlier than him? ”

Xiao Er replied: "That's natural, except for that guy, our restaurant has been working for almost two years recently!" ”

This is completely certain that the murderer was deliberately arranged, so the key is who arranged him in.

So Chen Xiaoting smiled and asked: "I see that this Mingyu Building is extraordinary, and the people who want to come to work here are not ordinary people!" ”

was praised by a big man like Chen Xiaoting, Xiao Er couldn't help but feel proud, so he said: "The guest officer really has good eyesight!" ”

Chen Xiaoting smiled slightly, and then asked: "Then this murderer can enter the Mingyu Tower, I'm afraid he also has his ability!" ”

But when he said this, he asked this little two, and only listened to him: "Don't hide it from the guest officer, the origin of this person is not clear, he was led by the shopkeeper three months ago, and he has no other skills except for the strength of the master, I'm afraid it's not the broken relative of the big man!" ”

Chen Xiaoting nodded, he actually knew more than this little two, for example, the murderer was a salt worker.

Because the tax was too heavy, his family was ruined, and then he sneaked into the restaurant and took the opportunity to seek revenge against Tian Yuanxi.

This is an explanation of the case given by the inspector Yamen, but the crux of the matter lies in how this person entered the Mingyu Tower.

Thinking of this, Chen Xiaoting decided to ask from a different angle, so he said: "You Mingyulou can do such a big business, presumably your owner is a capable person, and there must be a lot of friends in this city!" ”

"Our owner is also a leading figure in the South Bank Mansion, in addition to the big families in the city, they are also well-known!"

This Chen Xiaoting knew that in addition to the four major official families in Nan'an Mansion and the Shi family of Shi Wenzhuo, the big boss behind the scenes of Mingyulou, the bigger industry was selling tea.

Historically, salt, iron, mine, and tea have been controlled by the government, but they are not directly involved in the operation, but are divided into a number of shares and distributed to the merchants below, who then sell them and collect taxes.

But for so many years since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, there have been many people who have tried to evade taxes, so it is these tax issues that have to be investigated in the past two years.

And this Shi family holds a hundred percent of the tea in a province in the south of the Yangtze River, which is already a large amount, plus the restaurants and land he opened everywhere, it can definitely be called a wide source of wealth.

Chen Xiaoting asked Shi Wenzhuo's friends, which he couldn't understand in the case file sent over, and only heard Xiao Er say: "Our friends are everywhere, but the best ones are the best...... It's Cai Sanye, and there are ...... others."

Although Xiao Er was still talking, Chen Xiaoting's attention was no longer on these, he only caught this Cai Sanye.

Why? Because of this Cai Sanye, Cai Shiquan, holds half of the salt shadow in Jiangnan...... So can it be considered that the assassin is the salt worker under Cai Shiquan?

And Cai Shiquan is on good terms with Shi Wenzhuo, so can it be considered that the assassin is the Mingyu Building introduced by Cai Shiquan?

At this moment, Chen Xiaoting clarified the direction of the next investigation.

So, I saw him smile and say to Xiao Er: "Those of us who do business, we have to be close to you Master Shi in the future!" ”

"Alright, it's time for us to eat, we're going to work for you today!" After saying that, Chen Xiaoting glanced at Yang Kai again.

After Yang Kai understood, he took out another piece of broken silver from his pocket, and then handed it to the little second-hand.

Xiao Er is also an interesting person, today he got nearly three taels of silver, he can be regarded as a hard profit, so he was grateful again and again: "Thank you for the reward, thank you!" ”

Then the little two slowly retreated, and carefully closed the door of the box.

Yang Kai had already guessed that Chen Xiaoting was asking, so he didn't dare to interject in the middle, and then he spoke: "My lord, is it okay to eat?" ”

With such a large table of dishes, it looks like it tastes very good, and it will be a pity when he is cold.

At this time, Chen Xiaoting was in a good mood, so he said to the left and right: "Don't be stunned, eat together!" ”

Chen Xiaoting didn't mind getting closer to these people who were guarding him closely, so he would let others come to the table.

Although this is not quite in line with the rules, Chen Xiaoting has already given the order, and the remaining two lieutenants can only sit down.

For both of them, eating with the conductor was more uncomfortable than drinking bile.
