Chapter 376: Robbery while the fire is on
People come and go on the first floor of the capital, business is as good as ever, business here is good, not only because of Uncle Li Guo, this Uncle Li has been directing behind the back, rarely 'showing' face, and the things on the official face are also secretly 'manipulating', so not many people know, only those high-ranking officials and imperial relatives know that this is opened by Uncle Li, the geographical location here is good, and the chef is also first-class, and a few retired imperial chefs have been invited from the palace, so the dishes are good, and it has attracted many officials and businessmen to come over for dinner and banquets
Ordinary banquets, people with status, or ask for anything to come here, so naturally it has become the largest restaurant in the capital, and few people dare to come here to make trouble, and the Shuntian Mansion and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies are also very concerned about the backs of the shopkeeper here, and the mountain is also very arrogant, and usually these officials are not in his eyes, so what happened to me that day
In the snack bar opposite, two people dressed as eunuchs in Dongchang are asking for a few side dishes and two pots of wine in a snack bar, and eat slowly, but their eyes are not on the wine and food, and they look up from time to time to stare at the first floor, this wine is drunk absent-mindedly, fortunately, there are not many customers in the snack bar, and ordinary guests see two people wearing Dongchang costumes are also hiding far away, and the bad reputation of Dongchang makes people stay away from them
"Brother, the manager, let us come over and wait, why is there no movement over there," one of them asked, this is Liu Yong, who originally carried the sedan chair for me, and now he is transferred back to follow Chen Jiu, this is the first time he has come out on an errand, so he couldn't help but be upset and asked the eunuch opposite
"Brother, you just came, you didn't know that when we came out to mark people, sometimes it took a few days, and you couldn't stay up for a long time, so let's learn from my brother," The eunuch on the opposite side is an old Dongchang and Chen Jiu's confidant, and in order to prevent Empress Dowager Li from knowing, Chen Jiu can only find the person he trusts the most
"Thank you, brother, for your advice, please give me a lot of help in the future," Liu Yong could also speak, and immediately flattered
"It's good to say that you and I are both people in charge of Chen, as long as Manager Chen is in charge of you, I can say anything, if you change the factory supervisor, it will be difficult to say, you can still do it, I can't go to your old master, Lord Lan, I can't do it, I don't know anyone outside, it's not good to 'mix' in the future."
As soon as he said this, he saw dozens of people coming out of the 'door' on the first floor, looking like they were eating, and they scuffled with the guys, Liu Yong asked, "Big brother, are we going over now?"
"Wait a little longer, don't be in a hurry to calm down"
The more noisy and fierce it is, there are many people running to the shops around them, a few of them ran to this side, just entered the 'door' and ran to the yard behind the king, the boss didn't even pull a few people to the backyard, and then there was a big fat man behind him, and when he ran a little slower, he was pulled by the boss at the entrance of the 'door', and the boss asked: "What are you doing here, why are you running to the backyard?"
The fat man said impatiently: "If you let go, if you don't let go, I'm going to pull it into my pants."
The boss can let go and hold the fat man and don't let him go: "You are here to go to the toilet, you don't eat here, you can't use our toilet, Xiao Er kicked out the back of me."
The fat man couldn't help it, and said while telling him: "Boss, I'll use your toilet and give you a tael of silver, I can't hold it back."
When the boss heard that he was given a tael of silver in the toilet, he said suspiciously: "If you give me the silver first, I'll let you go."
At this time, the fat man was almost squatting on the ground, and his face was red: "Boss, I'll give it to you when I come out, I can't do it."
"That's not good, you can't go without giving money, you just pull it in the 'pants', I don't care"
As soon as the boss's voice fell, he smelled a foul smell from the fat man, and it immediately filled the entire snack bar, and the owner yelled unwillingly: "You really dare to pull it, Xiao Er, drag me out"
The fat man who pulled a 'pants' is comfortable now, but the of the 'pants' is sticky in the crotch of the 'pants', and he doesn't care about the theory, so he said to the boss: "Boss, I'll give you ten taels of silver, you find me an empty room, and then give me a 'pants', I'll change them," he said, took out a piece of silver from his pocket and handed it to the boss
The boss looked at the silver, his eyes suddenly lit up, took the silver, and said to the second child on the side: "You take this uncle to the backyard and find a pair of 'pants' for this uncle to change."
The fat man was taken to the backyard by Xiao Er, but the few guests who were already stinking here stood up and said, "Boss, how can we eat this meal, we have to leave."
The boss didn't care about this when he had the ten taels of silver, and said, "I'm sorry, everyone, today's food and drinks are all free."
The guests were very satisfied, and left the stinky snack bar, Liu Yong couldn't stay anymore, and got up on the street, Liu Yong asked: "Big brother, what's the matter, is there no toilet on the first floor, why did these people run out?"
"It's okay, let's just wait and see the excitement, I guess it's a bad stomach, and there's trouble on the first floor."
Sure enough, the first floor is not only the "door" in the fight, but also very lively, many guests are around the toilet, scolding, almost all of them are on the road, some of them are too late to the toilet, they are directly pulled in the "pants", the whole restaurant is stinky, just in the "door" when the opening can not be opened, "handover", someone suddenly shouted: "Someone is dead, hurry up and report to the official, this restaurant is poisoned"
It doesn't matter if this shout is even more 'chaotic' inside, as soon as the fighting at the entrance of the 'door' heard it, the dead people also stopped arguing, and ran to the lobby, where the shopkeeper no longer has the prestige of the past, and sees that the whole restaurant has fallen into 'chaos' and 'chaos', and there is no claim
Simple diarrhea is not a problem, at most, it is to accompany some silver, but now it is dead, the person is still a father-in-law, no one knows what the identity of this father-in-law is, but the eunuchs who came with him seem to be his followers, and those followers are not good, they are all squatting there, humming, and the shopkeeper is also afraid, and hurriedly ran over to try it at the eunuch's nostrils, otherwise, the eunuch stopped breathing, and no one knows how he died
The shopkeeper stood up and said calmly: "Isn't it just a dead eunuch, Liu Wu, you take Hou Ye's piece to Shuntian Mansion and let them deal with it."
The man hadn't left the 'door' yet, Liu Yong and the two people outside had already arrived at the 'door', and the eunuch who took the lead shouted: "What's going on with the case in Dongchang, there's a dead person there," said the crowd of onlookers who separated and came to the hall
The shopkeeper knew that this was sent by Chen Jiuzhuan's 'door', and he usually didn't take these eunuchs seriously, and when he saw them coming in, he said: "What are you doing, we are ready to report to the official, this matter is handled by the Shuntian Mansion, and you don't need to take care of it in Dongchang."
"We are Dongchang, you say you don't need to care, we don't need to care, you first see who died, this is the people in our palace, wait for me to ask who it is"
Liu Yong and the two came to the corpse of the procurement office, looked at the procurement office, and asked the little eunuchs who were humming and chirping: "We are Dongchang, what are you dead people doing?"
One of the little eunuchs didn't look very powerful, and endured the discomfort in his stomach and said: "Father-in-law Qiqi, this is our catering supervisor's procurement, Grandpa Sun, this grandpa took us out to procure at noon, and came in hungry to eat something, but I didn't expect Grandpa Sun to die here, begging my father-in-law to call the shots for us" The others also cried, because they knew that this procurement was dead, and several of them would definitely be tortured, and if they were tortured, they would inevitably be beaten
"Okay, you guys, don't cry, since it's our palace procurement, we have to notify the permanent supervisor Chen about this matter, you are optimistic about Grandpa Sun's body, you can't let others move, Liu Yong, you go back quickly and inform Manager Chen, I'm watching here"
Originally, this was Chen Jiu's 'handover', and Chen Jiu had already been ready to wait for them to report and 'intervene' in this case, so when Liu Yong arrived at Donghua's 'gate', Chen Jiu was already at the 'gate', but he just said that he came out to take a look, but he didn't say that he was waiting for Liu Yong
Liu Yong got off the horse at the 'gate' of Donghua and saw Chen Jiu here, so he hurriedly came over to report: "Lord Qiyu, the chief manager, there was a homicide case on the first floor, and the deceased was procured by our palace."
"And I was about to go out to have a look, but now it's okay, but I haven't gone out yet, and the little ones go to the first floor," Chen Jiu also borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, and took more than a dozen Dongchang eunuchs to follow Liu Yong to the first floor
On the first floor, although Liu Yong went to inform Chen Jiu, the shopkeeper was not familiar with Chen Jiu, and he was afraid that it would not be easy to deal with it at that time, so he sent a man to Shuntianfu to report the case, and the remaining eunuch was there to guard the scene, and the guests who ate in the scene all took laxatives, and they were also there to entangle with the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper had no idea, and sent someone to inform Uncle Li
There are Chen Jiu's people there, and Chen Jiu has been preparing early, and as soon as Chen Jiu burns incense, he arrived outside the 'door' on the first floor, and those who watched the excitement saw that there were so many eunuchs from Dongchang, and they dared to come to see it, and the excitement had already flashed aside
Chen Jiu came to the hall, the room was full of stench, Chen Jiu also covered his nose, the shopkeeper looked at Chen Jiu's clothes, and knew that this was a big person, but he didn't know who it was, but he didn't have the arrogance just now, and he came over cautiously and saluted: "This father-in-law's case here has been reported to Shuntian Mansion, and someone should come over there in a while."
"You are the shopkeeper here," Chen Jiu asked, looking at the shopkeeper who came up to greet him
