Chapter 57: Unforeseen Circumstances in the Sky (3)
Lan Wu Pavilion's business was declining day by day, and Mu Shengbai looked at the account books sent by Qi Huan, and his brows gradually frowned. These days, those officials and errands keep coming to make trouble, not only losing a lot of things, but also reducing the number of guests, how can it go on like this.
He sat alone in the study, his fingers clasped on the table, his brow furrowed, and he felt very distressed. His style of doing things is still not mature enough, and he is very distressed when he encounters more difficult things, hey, if it is Senior Brother Shengyun and others, they must think it is easy to solve.
At this moment, Qi Huan knocked on the door and ran in and said, "Young Zhuang Master, Shopkeeper Zhao from Siwei Building is here." ”
Mu Shengbai was a little puzzled, what was she doing here at this time, but she didn't delay, and she followed Qi Huan out before she had time to put down the account books.
Zhao Yihe lifted the hem of his skirt lightly and walked into the Lanwu Pavilion.
Siweilou and Lan Wuge have always had business dealings, although Zhao Yihe is a woman, her means and thoughts are not lost to men at all, Mu Shengbai admires her very much. It was Mu Shengbai who handed over the account book in his hand to Qi Huan, and said with a light smile, "Shopkeeper Zhao, why did you come here in person." ”
Zhao Yihedai frowned slightly, she was satisfied with the cooperation with Lan Wuge before, but now she had to stop the cooperation.
Just looking at Mu Shengbai's shallow smile, Zhao Yihe was a little embarrassed.
After pondering for a while, under Mu Shengbai's gaze, she took out a stack of silver tickets from her sleeve and said in embarrassment, "Shopkeeper Mu, I don't think we can continue to cooperate." These are the money I pay as compensation. ”
Mu Shengbai was a little surprised, the cooperation between the two has always been a win-win situation, why did Zhao Yihe suddenly say that he would not cooperate, but looking at her embarrassed look, Mu Shengbai also wanted to force her.
"Okay," Mu Shengbai took the money and counted it, took out the money that originally belonged to him, and handed the rest back to Zhao Yihe, "Business, if you cooperate, you will come and go, we have cooperated for so long, and I have also benefited a lot through your publicity, and we will cooperate again next time we have the opportunity." ”
"Next time, ......" Zhao Yihe thought about it and decided to remind him, "Actually, it's not that there is a problem with Lan Wuge, and the cooperation between us has always been very pleasant." But now it's obvious that someone is targeting you, shopkeeper Mu should think about countermeasures, after all, there are dozens of people in Siwei Building, and I can't afford to gamble. ”
Mu Shengbai was a little surprised, looking at the worry in her eyes, he still nodded, expressing understanding, "I know, thank you for reminding." ”
In fact, from the beginning of the troubles in the shop, he realized that things were not so simple. It seems that he must not sit back any longer!
"Then I'll go back first." Zhao Yihe and Mu Shengbai said with words.
"Okay, when this is over, I hope I can still have a chance to cooperate."
"Okay."
After Zhao Yihe left, Mu Shengbai went back to the study and sat in front of the account books for an afternoon, until the moon was full in the West Building, he got up and walked out of the door, and happened to meet Qi Huan.
"Young Owner, it's late at night, where are you going?" Qi Huan saw it and followed.
Mu Shengbai paused, "It's nothing, you go back first." I'll walk on my own. ”
Even if Mu Shengbai said this, Qi Huan had no choice but to stop. Mu Shengbai's martial arts are not bad, and others can't easily get close to him, so Qi Huan can go back with confidence.
All the shops on the street were closed, and there were few people on the road. Walking along the street, it didn't take long for Mu Shengbai to come to the yamen, at this time the yamen was silent, Mu Shengbai sighed lightly, jumped onto the wall and entered the yamen.
It was late at night, and the officials who were keeping vigil at the yamen were already drowsy. Mu Shengbai walked behind an official messenger, and after covering his mouth, he pulled him to no one's place.
Mu Shengbai's speed was so fast that several officials on the side didn't notice it.
"You...... What are you doing? In no one's place, Mu Shengbai let go of the official errand, and the official messenger tried to fight with Mu Shengbai, but he was restrained with only one move, and he looked at this uninvited guest with a panicked face.
"I heard that the yamen recently lost silver taels?" After restraining the official messenger, Mu Shengbai spoke.
"What are you asking for?" An unnatural look flashed across the official's face.
"Lan Wu Pavilion." Mu Shengbai said softly.
Originally, the official felt that Mu Shengbai was a little familiar, but now that he heard him mention Lanwu Pavilion, the official remembered that he was the Mu shopkeeper of Lanwu Pavilion.
"It wasn't you Lan Wu Pavilion who stole it! You still dare to come to the Yamen! Let me go, or I'll go to the prefect tomorrow and demolish your Lanwu Pavilion!" Although the official was trembling with fear, he still threatened with a stiff mouth.
"Ahh
As soon as Mu Shengbai exerted his strength, the official screamed in pain, "Okay, I'll say!" Mu Shengbai relented, and the official was able to catch his breath before he said in horror, "Yes, the yamen didn't lose anything, but the villain didn't know anything, and we errand boys were just acting on orders from above." ”
"Do you know who I can't get along with?" Mu Shengbai asked.
"Uncle Mu, I really don't know this." The official was trembling, for fear that Mu Shengbai would kill him if he was not careful.
"Well, I'll let them come to the door on their own." As soon as Mu Shengbai's voice fell, he quickly clicked on the acupoint of the official mission.
The official stood on the side, his body couldn't move at all, only a pair of eyes were dripping, and he felt that his lower abdomen was warm, and a stream of heat was left to pee his pants.
Mu Shengbai ignored him, untied the sign with the logo of Liuyun Villa tied around his waist and threw it in the corner, he grabbed the collar of the official and disappeared into the night.
Back at Lanwu Pavilion, Qi Huan greeted Mu Shengbai when he saw him, "Young Lord," then he glanced at the person who looked like an official on the side, and asked in surprise, "Young Lord, why did you bring the official back?" ”
"It's nothing, you go to sleep." Mu Shengbai said casually, and Qi Huan went underground obediently.
Mu Shengbai threw the official in the guest room, and only then did he unlock his acupoint.
"Uncle Mu, what are you doing with me!" The official who solved the acupoint said urgently, his body trembled, and the smell of urine filled the entire room, "I really don't know what the little one said about it, and the little one is just acting according to orders, Uncle Mu, you can spare the little one." ”
Mu Shengbai frowned and took a few steps back, "You stay here first, don't worry, I'm not killing innocent people indiscriminately." ”
Where did the official hear it, and couldn't stop begging Mu Shengbai to let him go, Mu Shengbai was impatient to listen, so he simply helped him point the acupoint again.
Finally finished tossing, Mu Shengbai washed up and collapsed, but over and over again, his mind was full of what he should do when the official mansion came to Lanwu Pavilion tomorrow.
He would never allow Lan Wu Pavilion to be destroyed in his hands, nor would he allow those who deliberately targeted him to succeed!
"Lord Prefect, I found out this morning that I searched all over the yamen and found no trace of He Qiang, and the little one found this in the backyard of the yamen." He Qiang was the official messenger that Mu Shengbai arrested yesterday.
