Chapter 83: Thieves are hard to prevent
Scene? The butler thought for a moment and said. When I came over, a few guys had already woken up, and they looked around, and I guess they couldn't see anything at the scene. β
Song Xinshu bit his lower lip and thought silently for a while, and said, "No matter who it is, the tea house is closed for one day today, and all the guys will stay in the tea house, and then the housekeeper you will report to the official." β
After listening to Song Xinshu's words, the housekeeper went to report to the official, and the rest of the people stayed in the lobby.
Su Qing said in Song Xinshu's ear: "Don't be too anxious, maybe the lost things can be recovered." β
"If you lose something, you lose it, but Subei Tea House has been repeatedly robbed, and my heart is always unstable."
"Let's wait for the people from the government to come first, let's wait for some tea."
With Su Qing by his side comforting, Song Xinshu didn't feel so uncomfortable, and finally waited for the people from the government to come, the two
Stand up and meet it.
"Shopkeeper Song, you're a thief again!" The leader of the official mission is also familiar with Song Xinshu, and he said to her while checking the place where he lost something.
Song Xinshu also sighed and said, "Who says it's not, I don't expect to get things back this time." β
The official carefully inspected the surrounding environment, walked up to Song Xin and said, "Shopkeeper Song, take a step to speak." β
Song Xinshu and Su Qing followed the official messenger to the backyard, only to hear the official messenger say: "After the thief steals something, he will definitely sell the stolen goods, and those antique ornaments may be recovered, but the lost silver may not be the same." β
"It's fine, but can you catch that thief?"
The official thought for a moment and said, "This is not perhaps, I know that you all suspect that it is a family thief, but there is no real evidence now, do you want my men to search the house?" β
Song Xinshu shook his head and said, "No, if it's not someone from my store, searching the house will make people panic, and it will also make them feel that I don't trust them and can't do this." β
Su Qing also agreed: "This will make the entire tea house unstable, so please ask the official to bother more." β
"You're welcome, this is our job, let's go to Jinling City to search first, and if we find anyone reselling stolen goods, we will notify you as soon as possible."
After sending off the official errand, the two returned to the lobby and said to the guys in the store: "Everyone go back to their own rooms to rest, today is a holiday." β
After the guys left the lobby, Song Xinshu said to Su Qing, "Husband, can you see anything wrong just now?" β
Su Qing shook his head and said, "I didn't see anything, but there was a young man in the back kitchen who had diarrhea today and stayed in the room and didn't come out, I'm afraid he drank too much wine last night." β
Song Xinshu nodded, but he didn't take it to heart.
The next day, Subei Tea House opened as usual, and outsiders looked no different from usual, but Song Xinshu kept this matter in his heart, and he was absent-minded about everything.
On the third day, the official suddenly came to the Subei Tea House, and Song Xinshu knew that there was a result when he looked at his expression, so he invited him to the private room on the second floor.
Su Qing brought a pot of tea and a few pastries, and said, "Drink some tea and talk slowly." β
The official took a sip of tea and said, "In the past two days, we have sent many people to search all over Jinling City, and finally found those few lost antique ornaments in a gambling house. β
"Casino? That should be a gambler who has no gambling money and has stolen something to pay for it. β
"We have already arrested the owner of that gambling hall and interrogated him, and Taishou asked me to send you a message, saying that if Shopkeeper Song is free, he will go and take a look."
Song Xinshu agreed and said: "I haven't seen my godfather and godmother for a long time, so we will go to Taishou Mansion tomorrow." β
After the official messenger brought the words and left, Song Xinshu thought that this was the first time Su Qing had seen Zhang Guodong and Fan, and he had to be formal, so he asked the housekeeper to prepare some things according to the etiquette in Jinling City.
Early the next morning, Song Xinshu and Su Qing took their things to the Taishou Mansion, and the little maid at the door warmly welcomed them in.
Fan was already waiting for them in the West House, and as soon as Song Xinshu entered, he gave Fan a big hug and said, "Godmother, I haven't seen you for a few days and you are getting younger again, what kind of fragrance is smoked in the house today, it smells very sweet." β
"This is the soft fragrance of vegetarian pear, but what fragrance can be sweeter than your little mouth, you came with someone today, don't you introduce it to your godmother?"
Song Xinshu pulled Su Qing over with a smile and said, "Godmother, this is the husband I told you before, Su Qing." β
"Hello ma'am." Su Qing saluted politely.
"Don't be so polite, you can call me my godmother with Xinshu, I originally wondered what kind of person a woman like Xinshu would marry, but when I saw it today, it was really extraordinary, and it looked really right."
The two looked at each other and smiled embarrassedly, Fan said: "Don't just stand, sit down and taste the preserves I made two days ago, your godfather said it was too sweet, and I just ate it." β
Song Xinshu picked up a piece and put it in his mouth and said, "Godfather has always disliked sweets, but I eat them very well." β
"You guys take some with you when you leave in a while, anyway, I have a lot of them here, and I can't eat them all by myself."
Song Xinshu looked around and said, "Why haven't you seen your godfather?" β
"Your godfather is talking to people in the study, and he will come in a while."
Song Xinshu and Fan talked for a while, and Zhang Guodong walked in, and the two hurriedly stood up and saluted.
Zhang Guodong waved his hand and said, "Sit down, why are you still rusty if you haven't seen you for a few days, I have already ordered the kitchen, you will stay and eat for a while." β
At the dinner table, Zhang Guodong said to Song Xinshu: "Although the business of your Northern Jiangsu Tea House is thriving, there are also a lot of trivial matters, and I have heard about the things in your family in those days. β
"I didn't want my godfather and godmother to know, so I called my godfather and godmother a joke."
Fan patted Song Xinshu's hand and said, "How can a family say these two words, we can help you, we must help." β
Song Xinshu said: "The matter at home has been resolved, but I didn't expect this incident to happen again in the tea house, which will cause trouble to the brothers in the Taishou Mansion again." β
"The results of last night's interrogation have come out, and the man confessed who sold him the things, and now someone has been sent to arrest him."
"It's best if you can catch it, and if you can't catch it, you don't have to force it." Song Xinshu felt that it was a ghostly gambler who stole her things, and she was already very satisfied that those few antiques could be recovered.
"This is not only for the Northern Jiangsu Tea House, but also to kill chickens and set an example for monkeys, which is the atmosphere of Jinling City."
Song Xinshu nodded, and heard Zhang Guodong say again: "Your second uncle's matter has been resolved, and I called you here today just for this matter, so he can go home with you today." β
It was originally a happy event, but the thought of my grandmother's sassy appearance made me feel a little headache.
But in the face of Fan and Zhang Guodong, she still agreed, and followed Zhang Guodong to the prison after eating.
They came to a cell in front of a middle-aged man with a stubble on his face, and when he saw Zhang Guodong coming, he quickly got up from the ground, grabbed the cell door and looked out.
"Taishou, Taishou, you're here!"
After finishing speaking, Song Er saw Song Xinshu beside Zhang Guodong and showed a surprised expression.
"I won't punish you this time, you can go back with your niece, if there is a next time, I will definitely not spare you!"
Song Er saw that the relationship between Song Xinshu and Zhang Guodong was not ordinary, so he kowtowed to Zhang Guodong on the ground and said: "Thank you too much, the grass people will never be again, thank you too much!" β
Taishou asked the guards to open the prison door, Song Er walked out with low eyebrows, bent his back and followed behind the two, Su Qing and Song Xinshu switched positions, and let Song Er walk by his side.
After the two of them left the Taishou Mansion, Song Er, who was following behind them, didn't carry his back, put his hands behind his back, and said to Song Xinshu: "Niece, you didn't get me out earlier, you don't know how bitter it is, how many days I haven't drunk wine and eaten meat!" β
Song Xinshu and Su Qing glanced at each other, both of them with helpless expressions.
Song Xinshu said: "Second uncle, when you go home in a while, you can drink as much as you want, just don't make any more trouble." β
Song Er said nonchalantly: "This time I was unlucky, let them catch it!" β
"Second uncle, if you go in again in the future, I can't do anything!" Song Xinshu's words carried a little bit of anger.
Song Er turned his face to the side, looking at the scenery around him, and whistling in his mouth, as if he hadn't heard it.
Song Xinshu knew the character of his second uncle, and knew that it was useless to say anything, so he could only sigh slightly.
After the three of them walked to the North Jiangsu Tea House, Song Er looked up at the spacious faΓ§ade and said in surprise: "Niece, this entire tea house is yours?" β
"This is also what others help me, second uncle, come in, Daddy is already waiting inside."
Song Er walked into the Subei Tea House, saw that Song Liangmin was sitting in the lobby, walked over and sat beside him and said: "Big brother, I'm back, is there any braised pork, roasted white or something, quickly serve me a few plates, by the way, there is also a pot of old wine, I really thought about it." β
Song Liangmin had no choice but to ask the guys in the store to tell the kitchen to cook a few dishes.
Song Er approached Song Liangmin and whispered: "Big brother, my niece seems to be really developed, you won't have to worry about eating and drinking in the future, and you can live in this Jinling City in the future and enjoy Qingfu!" β
"These are all Xinshu's, and I'm just living here temporarily."
Song Liangmin was reluctant to repeat the previous incident, and he also knew that it was useless to tell his younger brother, it was better to eat and drink and serve a meal and send it home.
"Niece, why is the food in this kitchen not good!" Song Er sat in the hall and shouted loudly.
