"You're the third king?" Liu Dutou asked in surprise, although Qi Fangzhai Restaurant himself often comes, but the people here are only familiar with each other, and they don't know their names. This Wang San is the second shopkeeper just now.

Wang San didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said: "The villain is Wang San!" I don't know what Liu Dutou commanded? ”

"I didn't have an order, I just want you to tell me about the day the kitchen knives were stolen!" Liu Dutou said, his eyes kept staring at Wang San, as if he wanted to see through Wang San.

When Wang San heard this, he hurriedly said, "Dutou, this is difficult to be small." Brother Zhang's knife was lost, and the little one heard Brother Zhang say it later! ”

When Zhang Wenhua heard this, he immediately became anxious, grabbed Wang San, and said, "Wang San, you have to tell the truth, otherwise my brother's surname will be dead!" ”

Wang San said with a strange face: "Brother Zhang, I'm really sorry, the little brother really didn't see anything!" ”

On Wang San's face, Feng Manlou saw it in his eyes, yes, it was a weird, very weird face. This is the look of being frightened.

Feng Manlou said: "Wang San, don't be afraid! This official is the magistrate of the county, tell me what you saw that day, and the official promises not to let other people in this room know! ”

That Wang San still didn't want to say anything, Zhang Wenhua was in a hurry, this was a problem related to his head. However, Liu Dutou was obviously more anxious than him, and shouted: "The bold Wang San is not as good as recruiting the truth." If you dare to deceive the officials, you will be sentenced to a thorn and be charged to the army, and it will be light to exile three thousand taels! ”

Zhang Wenhua also anxiously urged: "Wang San, third brother, for the sake of the friendship between the two of us, you can say it quickly, otherwise we will all be finished." I'm dead, and you're in exile! ”

Wang San still hesitated not to speak, but he heard Feng Manlou shouting loudly and asked, "Don't you believe in this county?" Okay, in that case, bring it back to the yamen and try it carefully! ”

There is a way, the yamen is open to the south, and there is no reason to come in if you have no money! As you know, it is easy to get in, but it is difficult to get out. Wang San hurriedly said: "Please be gracious, beg the lord to be gracious, the villain really doesn't know anything, he really doesn't know anything!" ”

Feng Manlou looked at this and knew that he had concerns, and said: "This county guarantees that it will not be leaked out until the case is investigated." The county also knows that you are worried about being retaliated against, but you can rest assured, if you can trust the official, you can go to Zhushan, the official's hometown is also a solid family in Zhushan, and he will give you an errand at will, and you will never be left without food. ”

After coercion and temptation, the little second child was also a little overwhelmed, and said: "Adult, it's not that the little ones don't want to say it, but the little ones don't dare to say it." ”

Feng Manlou asked, "Why?" ”

Wang San didn't dare to say it, or Zhang Wenhua didn't care so much, he was not from Yuhang, although he was also from Yangzhou Mansion, he was from Qiantang County, a neighboring county, so he was naturally not afraid of retaliation from those officials in Yuhang.

Zhang Wenhua took his mouth and said: "Master, this third brother Wang is worried that if the shopkeeper knows about it, he will retaliate!" Our Qi Fangzhai, the big boss behind the scenes, is not the current shopkeeper, but the officials of the county government. Since the adults dare to investigate this case, I believe that the adults and them are not the same dog, and the villain is willing to bet on this! ”

Feng Manlou was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is there any other love?" ”

Zhang Wenhua said: "There is indeed a different feeling! This Qi Fangzhai, Xiao Zhang, and Qian Weilun are all involved, and they also paid for the construction. Therefore, the three brothers are a little afraid, but it is understandable. ”

When the wind fills the building, I see! glanced at Liu Du for the first time, which means that you really guessed correctly. Liu Dutou smiled and nodded, meaning that his subordinates did not guess. Of course, the eye contact between the two is their own opinion. Feng Manlou thinks so, but Liu Dutou sees it: How is it, or the county asks it! Liu Dutou smiled and nodded, he really thought, of course you are amazing, otherwise how can you be a magistrate, and your subordinates are all heads!

"Wang San, Wang San! You don't know how many bad things these corrupt officials have done in Yuhang County, right? Now the official is just to get rid of these moths and restore peace to Yuhang! You can rest assured, this county and they are by no means in the same group! Moreover, the county has said that if you are safe, the county will do it! "Feng Manlou hurriedly packed the ticket!

Liu Dutou was also very aware of the current affairs at this time: "If you are not willing to leave Yuhang, my Liu family will invite you." You can come to my Liu family to work, and I will also get a wing room for you to live in! ”

This Liu Dutou also made a lot of money, this time he got on the boat of the county magistrate, if he wants to get down, I'm afraid it's not so easy. I had to find a way to keep the boat.

That Wang San was still hesitating, Sun Hu next to him was on fire, although it was not in the Ya time, wearing civilian clothes, but when he went out, he was wearing a saber. The first is to protect the safety of the magistrate, and the second is that he was originally from the rivers and lakes, so he naturally has the habit of carrying weapons with him.

Sun Hu pulled out his saber violently, and regardless of everyone's opposition, he put a knife on Wang San's neck. Of course, at this time, everyone tacitly agreed that there was no objection, only to hear Feng Manlou say not to hurt his surname!

Wang San was frightened all of a sudden, felt that his neck was cold, and hurriedly said: "A good man spares his life, a good man spares his life!" The body that was kneeling was frightened by this, and suddenly collapsed to the ground.

Sun Hu shouted: "Lao Tzu is not a good man, you know what grandpa used to do, grandpa used to walk the rivers and lakes, specializing in chivalry and righteousness, and the lives of the wicked in his hands, there are not ten, but eight!" Just a few days ago, Lao Tzu was still in Hongbin Building, and he fought a fight, haven't you heard of it? ”

Of course Wang San knew that the two heroes were protecting the county master at that time, but he didn't expect it to be the one in front of him, I heard the people at the time say that those two people were strong in martial arts, and they were ruthless, and when they came out with a knife, they either crippled people or killed people!

Sun Hu asked, "For the last time, say it or not!" ”

Wang San hurriedly cried: "Say! Say! But I have a request, that is, what Liu Dutou just said, it must be counted! ”

Liu Jinbao smiled and said, "Don't worry, no matter how you say it, it's all the same, how can you talk without words?" ”

Then Wang San was willing to talk about it in detail.

It turned out that it was that night, not long after it was dark, Qi Fangzhai opened the door. The first wave of guests ushered in were county officials such as Wei Zhongshu and the main Qian Weilun. There are also Xiao Zhang, Hu Weishan, and Master Hufang and his party.

They ordered some wine and food, and it was this Wang San who was in charge of running the hall. However, halfway through the wine and food, Hu Weishan was gone, and he was never seen back.

After another period of time, he saw Hu Weishan go back to the restaurant, Wang San thought that Hu Weishan was going upstairs, but Hu Weishan went straight to the kitchen, and at that time, the upstairs banquet was about to disperse.

Wang San met Hu Weishan in the lobby, and Hu Weishan said that he wanted to go to the toilet. Wang San guided Hu Weishan to the past, and it turned out that the toilet and kitchen were not far away, and the layout was the same as that of the restaurant in later generations. Wang San didn't care. Not long after, less than a quarter of an hour, there was a table of guests who wanted to serve food, so Wang San went to the kitchen to get it, but found that the chef was not in the kitchen. The kitchen is divided into two rooms, inside and outside, the outside is where some helpers are doing the work, and the inside is the chef. And chef Zhang Wenhua, in order to hide his cooking skills, generally does not allow others to enter when he cooks.

Speaking of this, Zhang Wenhua nodded, saying that there was such a rule, confirming Wang San's words.

Feng Manlou asked, "What if the chef needs help?" ”

Zhang Wenhua hurriedly added: "The villain will call out twice, and the people who are helping outside will come in, and after helping, they will go out!" ”

Feng Manlou asked, "Are the outer and inner rooms connected?" ”

Wang San continued: "Yes, but for the convenience of serving food, and in order to prevent the idle work from being seen by the guests of the guest hall, it was deliberately isolated, and only a passage was left to connect the guest hall and the kitchen inside. ”

Feng Manlou asked: "In other words, if you go to the kitchen from the guest hall, you may not be seen by the helpers, right?" ”

Wang San nodded in confirmation, and Feng Manlou motioned for him to continue.

Wang San went in at that time, and he didn't see Zhang Wenhua, but he saw Hu Weishan Hu, who was holding a knife and was about to leave. Wang San saw it and felt curious, thinking that he was using it, but he didn't see Zhang Wenhua, and was greeting Hu Weishan, who knew that at this time, Zhang Wenhua suddenly touched him behind him, turned his head and was about to speak, but saw him make a silent gesture. Wang San felt strange and quickly silenced.

Feng Manlou asked, "Did you just see Hu Weishan and Master Hu holding a knife in his hand?" ”

Wang San said: "But it is so! At that time, the villain was also curious, so he followed, but saw that Master Hu went to the temporary place to store the wine again. Pour some medicine into the wine! ”

When Feng Manlou heard this, he knew that this was the key, and asked, "Isn't the wine in the cellar?" Besides, should someone guard even if it's a temporary place to store alcohol? ”

Wang San said: "Adults don't know. The sake sales at our shop are very good, so they are all taken out of the sake cellar and stored in a temporary wing! And there is no one to guard it, everyone is busy, staring around, who will be bored and steal wine, and a jar of wine is not worth a lot of money! ”

And then? Faced with Feng Manlou's questioning, Wang San had no choice but to continue: "Later, the villain saw with his own eyes that Master Hu took away the drugged wine jar. ”

"To whom?"

"I don't know that little man!"

"If you saw this person with your own eyes, would you know him?"

"Know, if you can see this person, the little one will definitely know!"

Feng Manlou said with a smile: "In this case, can you go with this county to recognize it?" ”
