Chapter 42: The Arsonist

Now the time is three watches in the middle of the night, please be in a private room on the second floor of the fairy pavilion. _8w=w=w'.-Li Shan was lying on a recliner and was squinting his eyes and taking a nap, Zhang Yanzhao said: "Brother Shan, do you think this will be a prank?" Do you really believe that someone came to ask Xiange to set fire to the third watch in the middle of the night? Li Shan turned over and said to Zhang Yanzhao, who was sitting by the window and secretly looking out: "What about this matter, first of all, I would rather believe it than not." Secondly, I think this incident is eighty percent related to the person who steals food in our restaurant every day. โ€

Zhang Yanzhao was surprised: "How do you know this?" Li Shan smiled and took out a note and said, "Do you think there is anything special about this piece of paper?" Zhang Yanzhao took the note and looked left and right and didn't find anything special, Li Shan continued: "There is oil smoke on this piece of paper, I dare to conclude that this paper is the paper that I asked you to hang in the back kitchen that day, which reads 'Phoenix chooses trees and perches'." And the person who took this piece of paper is also likely to be the thief. Zhang Yanzhao nodded and said: "This is possible, it is estimated that it is almost three watches now, and it is estimated that the person who set the fire is coming soon." โ€

Time back to yesterday, Li Shan had nothing to do after breakfast, so he went to ask Xiange to have a look. As soon as he walked to the door, before he could go in, he felt a stone hit directly on his chest, and Li Shan shouted: "Who, who attacked me?" As a result, there was no hair, Li Shan touched the chest that was beaten very painfully, and found a paper ball. Li Shan realized that it was not the stone that hit him, but this paper ball. Li Shanhu looked around suspiciously, and really couldn't find any clues, so he could only open the paper ball. It reads: Tomorrow night, someone is asking the fairy pavilion to set fire.

So there was this scene, Zhang Yanzhao suddenly said in surprise: "Brother Shan, good brother, look, there is movement at the back door." ๏ผž8๏ผฟ>๏ผž๏ฝ—-๏ฝ—๏ฝ—๏ผŽโ€ Li Shan also came to his senses, turned over, came to the window, and sure enough, he saw two figures moving at the bottom line of the wall. Li Shan smiled slightly and said, "Okay, the prey has taken the bait." Let's go, get ready to close the net. โ€

Li Shan and the others quietly went downstairs and saw that the two people were spilling some things all over the building. At this time, Li Shan yelled: "Collect the net and catch the fish." I watched a few more people rush out of the corners on all sides, and directly pressed the two people who didn't know what happened to them to the ground. Zhang Yanzhao took out a torch and lit it, and Zhuo Cheng had already tied up the two people with a rope and sent them to Li Shan. Zhang Yanzhao put the torch in front of these two people, saw the faces of the two people clearly, and said, "It turned out to be the two of you?" Li Shan looked at Zhang Yanzhao and said, "What? Do you know them? โ€

"Didn't I recruit some people named Hanako as our food delivery workers? Later, the news spread, and more and more people came here to find things to do, these two came two days ago, and I saw that these two were not bad and very good, so I stayed, but I didn't expect it to be a traitor sent by others. โ€

Li Shan said to the two people: "Who are you instigating, tell me quickly." The two men were still very stubborn and said, "What are you doing at this time?" What did we do, why did you do this to us, we have to report to the official. Zhuo Cheng walked over and said, "Big brother, these things they sprinkled just now are fish oil and sulfur, and they also found fire folds from these two people. These things are lit, and they scatter them like this, as long as they have a little fire and a cup of tea, they can be burned in time, and they can't be saved at all. Li Shan looked at these things with a cold look in his eyes. _>_> itw'w'wยท. 'y=a'w'e'n-8'.=com Seeing that the two of them were still hard-mouthed, they didn't talk nonsense: "These two people were brought to the back kitchen to beat them first, and then tied up and cooled them overnight." โ€

The next day, in the backyard of the Invitation Immortal Pavilion, two guys with blue noses and swollen faces were brought to Li Shan again. Li Shan sneered: "How is it? Now Ken said? Who is your master? One of them gritted his teeth and said, "What can you do with us?" Forgive me for not daring to kill us, tell you, you have offended someone who should not be offended, I advise you to let us go as soon as possible, I can take you to beg for mercy, otherwise you will die a miserable death. Another person also helped: "If you let us go now and give us some compensation, we can still say a few good words to you at that time, and it will be no problem to spare your dog's life." โ€

Li Shan looked at these two people, and was speechless in his heart, are these two guys pigs? Still thinking about this? Threaten me, is Lao Tzu so good at threatening? Li Shan called Zhuo Cheng, blindfolded the two of them, and then took them to a secluded and soundproof room, and then said a few words in Zhuo Cheng's ear: "When the time comes, you will do this, I promise they will say everything." Zhuo Cheng said: "Big brother, I didn't expect you to be a weak scholar with such a thing, I have never heard of it." It's fucking bloody. Li Shan patted Zhuo Cheng's shoulder and said very forcefully: "You have to remember that the experience of the eldest brother is not something you can understand, and the elder brother is not just a legend." Leaving Zhuo Cheng with an inexplicable look.

Zhuo Cheng walked into the room, watched these two guys move their wrists a few times and said, "Now let's play a game, called one is abused and one is watched, you draw lots to decide, which one is the one who is abused." โ€

Zhang Yanzhao and Li Shan drank tea in the private room and said: "Brother Shan, who do you say is going to attack our restaurant, if it is not for that mysterious person to reveal the news to us this time, I am afraid that we will go bankrupt this time." Li Shan was also afraid when he thought about it, and said: "Indeed, you have to be more careful in the future, please Xiange is the foundation of our life, if there is a problem with Xiange, we will be finished." I can't think of who is going to target Xiange, Li Chengwei is going to deal with me, even if he knows that I have a connection with Xiange, but he doesn't know that I am the boss behind Xiange, so he won't be so mad, right? โ€

Zhang Yanzhao was even more clueless, and said: "It's too complicated, the enemy is in the dark, we are in the light, just like a clear-eyed person beating a blind man, we are very passive." Li Shandao: "I believe that Zhuo Cheng will be able to bring us some useful information in a while, I only hope that there will be some good news." โ€

After a while, Zhuo Cheng walked in with great interest, took a sip of tea and said: "It's really exciting, this trick of the eldest brother is really amazing, now these two guys have been infighting, and they don't need you to ask." They were assigned by Song Ren, the owner of Yuelai Restaurant, and the behind-the-scenes boss of this restaurant was Wang Yuanbao from the capital, and he also had interests with Li Chengwei. Li Shan nodded, this is basically the same as he expected, it seems that Li Chengwei already knows that he is the boss of the Immortal Pavilion, otherwise there is no way to explain that Song Ren has such courage to do this kind of thing, only Li Chengwei dares to do it. Anyway, there is no impermeable wall, and these things will be known sooner or later, and it seems that there will be more tough encounters in the future.

Li Shan said: "These two people should be sent to the yamen, since they have made a move, we can't sit still, if we don't let him suffer a little, we think we are easy to bully." Bring their stolen goods with them, you should be able to find some clues, and this time at least bite Song Ren off. Zhang Yanzhao nodded and said, "Yes, we can't weaken our momentum." I will arrange some manpower, and ask Xiange to send some people to keep vigil in the future, otherwise I am really afraid that they will come again. โ€

Li Shan said: "Zhuo Cheng, how are you doing over there?" Zhuo Cheng said in a deep voice: "The Cai family has been in a hurry to jump over the wall in the past few days, thinking that the conflict with the fishermen of Changhu Lake is getting more and more serious, and it has alarmed the people in the government, but then it was not over. Cai Xiang has given the fishermen an ultimatum that if they don't do what he says within five days, they will do it. Li Shan habitually held his chin with his hand, this was his way of thinking, and said for a while: "Okay, five days." When the time comes, you don't have to hide, a head-to-head confrontation is imperative. How many people do we have now? Zhuo Cheng said: "There are more than 30 people in total, but most of the fishermen and nearby traders and ordinary people, although they have not joined us, I think as long as there is a dispute, they will definitely support us." โ€

Li Shan smiled and nodded: "That's natural, in this case, it will definitely lead to Cai Qi, with Cai Xiang's character, it is estimated that he will not admit defeat easily, there will definitely be extreme measures, don't worry." When the time comes, I will let them never turn over. You have to remember that when the time comes, the bigger the better, let your brothers call people in advance, and then let the literate people write some complaints, and write down all the evil things that the Cai family has done. Zhuo Cheng hummed heavily and said, "Don't worry, big brother, I've been waiting for this day for a long time." Li Shan smiled: "Don't be so nervous, everything is in the plan, your sister will be rescued soon, remember to meet her when the time comes, and deal with it well." โ€

At this moment, I heard Su Jinxi's somewhat anxious voice say, "Is Xianggong here?" I'm looking for my father-in-law, Li Shan. Li Shan walked out quickly, wondering what was the matter with Jinxi coming to him now, and suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.
