Chapter 11: Showing the Horse's Feet
Tian Jiyao knew that Steward Wang remembered what Steward Liu had done, and seeing that he didn't want to say anything, he didn't want to expose him, but just told him not to ask in a hurry, so he pretended not to know anything, and secretly observed, Steward Wang should go out.
It was not too early to deal with this matter, Tian Jiyao stretched her waist and decided to go to the back wing room to take a rest, usually when she couldn't go back to the store too late, she rested in the back wing.
I don't know if it's because I'm too tired to deal with things at home in the past two days and rush to deal with things in the store, Tian Jiyao just fell asleep with a pillow as soon as she lay down, and it wasn't until someone knocked on the door in the middle of the night that she woke her up.
Tian Jiyao opened his eyes and saw that it was pitch black, and then reacted that it should be dark, and the knocking on the door continued, accompanied by the small call of Steward Wang.
"Young lady! Young lady! Something happened to the young lady! Young lady! ”
Phew! Who has happened to the curse? Tian Jiyao was unhappy and thought in her heart, while responding.
"Wait a minute!"
Tian Jiyao got up and lit a candle, the warm candlelight illuminated the whole room, she tidied up her appearance in the mirror, and then opened the door, Steward Wang stood at the door with a anxious look.
Seeing Tian Jiyao coming out, Steward Wang immediately reported, "Young lady, something happened!" ”
Tian Jiyao: "......" What happened, you just said it, you know that something happened, if it weren't for his loyalty and the fact that he had worked hard in the Shen family for most of his life, Tian Jiyao really didn't want him!
Steward Wang saw Tian Jiyao looking at him indifferently, and he also reacted that he only said that something happened but didn't say anything. Raised his hand and twitched himself lightly, before continuing: "Young lady, you asked me to pretend that I didn't know anything during the day, to observe the people in the store, I did so, Yang shopkeeper They tested me, and found that I really didn't know anything, so they relaxed their vigilance against me, and they really went out tonight, just now, Shopkeeper Yang and Shopkeeper Liu and Steward Hu went out together, I asked Xiao Song to keep an eye on them, and I came to report to you." ”
Hearing this, Tian Jiyao came to his senses, and said with great interest: "Let's go, let's go and have a look!" ”
Unexpectedly, Steward Wang shook his head and said, "I don't know where they went, they left in too much hurry, and I forgot to let Komatsu leave a mark." ”
Tian Jiyao was speechless, it seemed that he could only wait for Xiao Song to come back, Tian Jiyao waved his hand to let Steward Wang go back, Steward Wang did not move his steps, and looked at Tian Jiyao without saying anything, Tian Jiyao was strange, and simply asked him.
"What's wrong, Uncle Wang?"
Steward Wang looked at Tian Jiyao with a calm and calm look, and remembered Tian Jiyao's decisiveness in handling things during the day, and was ruthless, and said with a strong man's broken wrist expression: "Young lady, when you were not there the day before yesterday, the Liu Steward of Zhongzheng Mixing came, and the Hu Steward went out with the Liu Steward for a long time with a smile before coming back, and the Liu Steward also said......"
Tian Jiyao raised her eyebrows, is she finally willing to speak? Urged: "What did you say?" ”
Steward Wang closed his eyes and said resolutely: "Steward Liu said that in less than two months, this store will be replaced, let the old man pack up his things and get out of the house as soon as possible!" They won't use me, an old man, and I'm afraid today's matter is also their means! ”
Tian Jiyao hooked her lips and smiled, and said lazily: "Let them go, Uncle Wang, don't worry, if this store is really going to close down one day, I will be the first to notify you and send you a generous pension, so that you don't have to worry about it for the rest of your life!" ”
Pension? What's that? Steward Wang didn't understand, he understood the meaning of Tian Jiyao's words, and explained anxiously: "No! Didn't the old man come to ask the young lady for that Rausch pension......"
Tian Jiyao directly intercepted his words, "I know, Uncle Wang, don't worry, with me for a day, this shop has to be surnamed Shen, okay, you go back to rest first, and when Xiao Song comes back, you can talk back to me!" ”
After speaking, he turned around and went back to the house to close the door, Steward Wang stood at the door and was stunned for a moment, and then went back to the house, forget it, since the young lady said so, then just do what she is told, anyway, he still has a lot of money in deposit, and he doesn't have to worry about it for the rest of his life.
Tian Jiyao went back to the house directly and lay down and continued to sleep, this sleep went directly to dawn, and was woken up by the knock on the door again.
She opened her eyes and yawned, raised her voice to ask the people outside to wait for a while, and then changed her clothes and opened the door leisurely and walked out. Outside the door, it was still the old face of Steward Wang, but this time it was with a solemn expression, and Tian Jiyao was invited to the front hall.
Tian Jiyao chuckled, walked past Steward Wang to the front hall, and when he arrived at the front hall, he found that the store had not yet opened, and Shopkeeper Yang, Shopkeeper Liu, and Steward Hu were gagged and thrown on the ground.
When Komatsu saw Tian Jiyao coming, he cleverly moved a chair over and put it in the middle to invite Tian Jiyao to take a seat.
Tian Jiyao glanced at Xiao Song more, and saw that he was short and short, looking like he should be sixteen or seventeen years old, but he was smart.
She sat down slowly, although there were no rules in her posture, but she looked tight, Tian Jiyao raised her eyebrows and motioned to Steward Wang to explain.
Steward Wang stood in front of her with his hands and said: "Last night, Lao Yu found that these three people went out at night, and felt suspicious in his heart, so he sent Xiao Song to follow, and the three of them did not come back until it was almost dawn, Xiao Song told me that these three people went out and went straight to a house not far from Zhongzheng Mixing, and saw a person, that person was a cronie of Zhongzheng Mixing Liu's steward, named Ah Fu, Ah Fu gave them a bag of things, and they came back to take advantage of the morning to count the goods, and the shopkeeper Yang secretly mixed the bag of things into a bag of rice, I immediately asked people to take the shopkeeper Yang, and the shopkeeper Hu and the shopkeeper Liu wanted to run away when they saw the situation, so I took it together, hoping that the young lady would not blame the old man for making her own decisions! With a wave of his hand, Komatsu immediately brought up a bag of rice.
Tian Jiyao glanced at him with satisfaction, it seems that although this Wang steward is a little confused in his words and deeds, he still knows how to catch thieves and take stakes, and he is not in a hurry to startle snakes.
She stepped forward and picked up a small handful of rice, and sure enough, she could feel the texture of some powder, Tian Jiyao walked in front of the three of them, reached out and pulled out the rag in the mouth of the shopkeeper Yang, and the shopkeeper Yang hurriedly shouted loudly.
"Young lady, you are wronged! The villain took the Shen family's salary, how could he collude with Zhongzheng Mixing to frame the Shen family? ”
Tian Jiyao smiled lightly and asked him softly, "Then why did Steward Wang say that you went to have a night meeting with Ah Fu?" There is indeed powder in rice, how do you explain this? ”
Seeing Tian Jiyao talking to him so softly, Shopkeeper Yang didn't accuse him as soon as he came up, thinking that he still had a chance, and immediately bit back on the king's steward.
"Young lady, when the villain and the king steward have a lot of grievances, the king steward has always loved to do some petty theft, and often takes things home from the store, it must be yesterday's egg, the egg must be changed by the king steward, he is afraid of the east window incident, so he simply wants to get rid of the villain to prevent future trouble!" Shopkeeper Yang said this, his eyes flashed with viciousness.
Steward Wang immediately denied it, "Young lady, the old man dares to point to the sky and say a word, the old man has always acted above board, and he has never taken anything from the store!" ”
"Phew! You old horseman! Relying on seniority to suppress people and think everything is fine? ”
"Shopkeeper Yang, the old man dares to go to court with you, do you dare?"
Tian Jiyao propped her chin and listened to the two arguing back and forth, clapped her hands to stop it, and asked Shopkeeper Yang with a smile.
"What to do? Steward Wang said that he dared to go to court, or would the shopkeeper Yang eat this rice to prove his innocence? ”
As soon as these words came out, the original Yang shopkeeper suddenly shrank for a moment, with a resistant expression on his face.
Tian Jiyao was in a good mood, and pointed the handful of rice at the Hu steward on the left, "Hu steward, among the three people, you are the oldest and the best position, why don't you give them a sample?" "Posture is often stuffed in the mouth.
Steward Hu was even more timid than Shopkeeper Yang, so he simply tilted his head back desperately with a frightened face, wanting to leave the range of the meter.
The shopkeeper Liu on the right saw that Mi was aimed at him, and he was directly scared to pee, and the yellow water stains oozed out of his crotch, exuding a disgusting urine. taste, mumble, want to speak.
Hey~
Tian Jiyao turned her head in disgust and asked Xiao Song to remove the rag from Shopkeeper Liu's mouth, and Shopkeeper Liu immediately recruited as soon as he was liberated.
"It's... It's the willow manager of Zhongzheng Mixing! Steward Liu told us that he would buy this shop soon, and when the time came, we would all lose our jobs if we helped him ruin the reputation of the store, so that Zhongzheng Rice could buy it faster, he would ensure that we were still the people in the store, and the villain was confused for a while, so he agreed! ”
"Last night, Ah Fu gave us a packet of laxatives, and explained that we were mixed in rice, and when the time comes, they will find someone to say that they have eaten rice and have diarrhea, so that people will come over to make trouble, so that there will be no business in the store at all!"
