Since he believed Sun Tu's inference, Tong Mu simply made further arrangements, rented a two-story attic near the back alley of Liufangju, and waited there with Sun Tu to wait for the rabbit.

As a result, the shopkeeper Wu didn't let them wait too long under the lust for profit, and only three days later, he let them see such a big drama with their own eyes, which made Tong Mu's heart angry: "This Wu Li dared to do such a thing behind my back, and I still trust him so much!" ”

Sun Tu looked very calm on the side: "I'm afraid that he alone will never have such courage, there must be another mastermind behind him." Then before Tong Mu could react next, he put his hand to his mouth and whistled loudly.

With the sound of whistles, more than a dozen tall Tong family slaves suddenly appeared at both ends of the deserted alley, all armed with sticks, and viciously surrounded them, intercepting the ox carts that were about to leave and all the people on board.

This time to catch the thief, Sun Tu naturally will not fail to make relevant arrangements, early in the morning asked Tong Mu to transfer these slaves from the mansion to ambush outside, once they convey the signal here, they will immediately take action. The merchant was just ordinary people who worked hard, and when they saw such a group of fierce and vicious slaves, they were so frightened that they didn't even dare to run.

At the same time, the shopkeeper Wu who was sending them out was so frightened that he even forgot to close the door and dodge, so he stood in front of the door in a daze, and was seized by everyone.

When Sun Tu and the others walked down from the attic and came into the alley, all the people and others were controlled. After the merchant saw Tong Mu, who was not good-looking, he had already guessed his identity, and immediately knelt down with a grunt: "Son, spare your life, the little one is blinded by lard this time, so he did such a thing, and he will never dare to do it again...... the others" When the others saw it, they also knelt down and begged for mercy, and the sound was chaotic.

Tong Mu, who was feeling angry, saw this situation and didn't know how to deal with it, he was not a cool person himself, even if he was angry, he couldn't do anything too out of the ordinary. He only looked at Sun Tu for help to see what his reaction was.

Sun Tu came to the merchant and stared at him condescendingly for a while, and after putting enough pressure on him, he asked, "Which hotel are you the shopkeeper or proprietor?" How many times have you bought wine from Liufangju? ”

"Villain...... The villain is Pan Yuan, the owner of Pan's shop, and he has bought wine from your restaurant five times in the past year. Under pressure, this person didn't dare to hide it, and immediately confessed the truth.

Sun Tu nodded, he still remembered that this Pan's shop was only half a street away, and business was really good on weekdays. But he was more curious about the next two questions: "At what price did you buy these drinks?" Also, do you know any other foot shops that have bought wine from Liufangju? ”

"This ......" Pan Yuan glanced at Sun Tu and Tong Mu with some humility, and couldn't bear it and had to answer honestly: "The small one is the wine bought from your store at the price of three times and one jar, and I only know that the old Yang family and the old Sun family have bought wine from here recently......

"Sanguan?" Sun Tu sneered. As far as he knew, the selling price of each jar of Liufangju's jade pot spring was above five times, and now it was so cheap, it was no wonder that these small foot shops flocked to it. It's no wonder that business is so deserted, as the prices of alcohol at other hotels are much lower, and guests are happy to pay less for the same drinks.

At this time, the shopkeeper Wu, who heard all this, was already paralyzed to the ground in fright, and only came back to his senses after a while, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Tong Mu, who was already trembling with anger, begging for mercy: "Second son, the little one knows that he is wrong." The little one was also confused for a while, so he did such a thing, how can the second son spare his life......"

It's no wonder that he is so panicked, because he knows very well that once Tong Muzhen wants to investigate, he is only afraid that he may be beaten to death. Don't look at how advanced and beautiful the Great Song Dynasty was praised by later generations, in fact, it was only for scholars and ordinary people, and those domestic slaves who sold themselves and wealthy families, life and death were in the hands of their masters. As long as he really annoys the master's family, he doesn't need to be killed by the officials, and the government won't pay attention to it at all. Not to mention that the Tong family is still one of the top wealthy families in the capital.

"You...... How dare you do such a thing! Ever since my uncle transferred the restaurant to my name, I have always trusted you, and I rarely even ask about the accounts, and this is what you give me in return? Tong Mu, who calmed down a little, angrily accused: "Are you worthy of me, worthy of our Tong family?" ”

"Little ...... The little one has no choice...... "Shopkeeper Wu panicked in his heart, and couldn't help but want to tell the inside story. But at this time, Sun Tu suddenly opened his mouth: "Slow." After interrupting him, he looked at Pan Yuan: "Let's go." "The family affairs of the Tong Mansion are naturally not good for them to listen to.

As soon as Pan Yuan heard this, he was like being amnestied, and he hurriedly thanked him again and again, and wanted to ask someone to drive the ox cart away, but Sun Tu stopped him again: "Leave the wine!" ”

"This wine was bought by the villain at a great price, and that is the capital on my counter......" Pan Yuan immediately became anxious and plucked up the courage to object. Those hundreds of dollars are indeed a lot of money to him.

But Sun Tu had no room for negotiation: "This wine is from my Liufangju, if you are not satisfied, I can send all of you to Kaifeng Mansion, and then see what crime the government will convict you." Buying wine privately, this alone is enough to send you hundreds of miles. In the past few days, he has really learned some of the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, and these words are not nonsense.

Seeing that the other party was already timid, Sun Tu said again: "And you have made a lot of profits this year, and it has made my business ruined, and this money should be your compensation, and you and I will be cleared from now on." ”

Speaking of which, Pan Yuan has nothing to object. After all, it was his own family that was to blame, and this Tong family was not something that his own small businessman could provoke, so he could only spend money to eliminate the disaster. Immediately, he ordered the helpers to unload hundreds of jars of wine on the spot, and then left in disgrace.

After finishing these, it was already dark, and Sun Tu and the others also entered the restaurant through the back door, sat in the account room in the backyard, and listened to the shopkeeper Wu explain all the truth of the matter.

Sure enough, just as Sun Tu had guessed before, Wu Li dared to do such a thing because he was indeed instructed by Zhou Yun, and most of the money from secretly selling wine also fell into the hands of him Zhou Yun.

As for the reason, it is also very simple, one is because Zhou Yun was in charge of Liufangju before, and he had already established his prestige in the heart of the shopkeeper Wu, and after a few intimidations, he could only be obedient. The second is that Tong Mu is too benevolent, and he never asks about the restaurant business, which gives them an opportunity to take advantage of. Of course, there is another point that Shopkeeper Wu does not dare to say, in fact, he has also gained a lot of benefits from it, which is much more cost-effective than running Liufangju seriously.

The only thing that lost was the restaurant and Tong Mu. One of the 72 main stores in Tokyo, which could have earned thousands of dollars in a year, was already closed at this time, and it looked like it was about to close. And Tong Mu is naturally even more unlikely to get much benefit from the restaurant.

After hearing this, Tong Mu's face turned blue with anger, and he didn't know how to speak for a while. Sun Tu fell into deep thought, and only said after a while: "Second brother, how do you want to solve this matter?" ”

"What do you say?" Tong Mu obviously ran out of ideas, and Sun Tu could only take the idea. This made the shopkeeper Wu have a glimmer of hope in his heart, and looked at Sun Tu full of begging, hoping that he could help him say a word, so as to save his life.

"I have two strategies to use, it depends on what choice you make, second brother." Sun Tuhao glanced at Wu Li for a while: "This first strategy is to tell Tong Shuai the truth about the matter, and he will make the decision for you." Even though Gongzi Zhou's identity is not ordinary, it is really too much to do this, and he must be taught a lesson! ”

"This ......" Although Tong Mu was angry, he still hesitated a little: "In this way, not only will the shopkeeper Wu be severely punished, but I am afraid that even his cousin will ......" After all, he relented and couldn't make such a decision: "What about the second way?" ”

"The second way is to act as if nothing has happened." Sun Tu had already guessed that the other party would not adopt the first method, so he didn't persuade him much, but just said so. But I heard that several people present were stunned, what kind of countermeasure is this?
