Chapter 770: Beaten
Shopkeeper Hu lifted his eyelids, glanced at Gu Youlu and them, and directly took out a copied deed and put it on the table: "There is a contract, you can't tell others about Gu's residence, otherwise you will have to compensate 100,000 taels of silver, if you want to know, take 100,000 taels of silver." ”
received 100,000 taels less than the Qi family, which is really very conscientious.
When Gu Youlu heard this, he immediately became angry, and it was 100,000 taels, do this Futailou and the Qi family know how much silver is 100,000 taels? Not to mention that they take care of the family, even the Li family may not be able to take it.
Qian Chengcai directly grabbed the placket of the shopkeeper Hu and said, "Do you know who we are?" Get acquainted, hurry up and tell Gu's residence, otherwise we will smash your Futai Building! ”
Shopkeeper Hu was experienced in a hundred battles, and said with a calm smile: "Just smash it, after smashing it, we will go to the Fucheng Yamen to sue you for losses." ”
Qian Chengcai was shocked, stared at the big bags and said, "Do you know who we are?" We're the new governors! is the benefactor of Lord Tongzhi, do you dare to go to the government to sue us, do you still want to open your restaurant? ”
When the shopkeeper Hu heard this, he gave Qian Chengcai a straight look, and said silently in his heart: It is really unfortunate for Lord Tongzhi to have a benefactor like you.
Shopkeeper Hu dragged back his shirt, straightened his jacket, pointed to the door and said, "If you want to smash the store, you will smash it yourself." ”
Gu Youlu pointed at him and asked, "Are you really not afraid?" ”
The shopkeeper Hu said: "We are good citizens, we open a store honestly, where can we be afraid?" What should be feared is the person who smashes the store, and the person who shelters the shopkeeper. ”
Shopkeeper Hu turned his eyes and glanced at Li Bai: "It's not the first time that our restaurant has been smashed because of this incident, and we can get back the loss of being smashed every time, and the one who smashed the store didn't end well." ”
He also said meaningfully: "Since the water bandit case, the officials in Jianghuai Jiangnan have paid great attention to their official reputation. ”
After saying this, he no longer paid attention to Li Bai and them, and continued to bow his head and settle the account.
Li Bai is the youngest son of Steward Li, and he is the "noble son" in the subordinate pile, and he also has a bit of bullying in his bones. But the words of this shopkeeper made him afraid, just because the water bandit case was too big back then, even though three years have passed, it is still often brought out and said.
Li Baike didn't want to ruin Lord Li's official reputation, so he said in a soft tone for the first time: "But there are other ways?" ”
As he spoke, he took out an ingot of ten taels of silver and handed it to the shopkeeper Hu.
Shopkeeper Hu didn't even look at the ingot of silver, and repeated the previous words: "If you want to know the Gu family's residence, take 100,000 taels of silver, otherwise please leave." If you don't feel comfortable, you will smash the store, and we will settle the account after smashing. ”
Qian Chengcai has only been an uncle for more than two years, where has he been wronged, and when he heard this, he immediately rushed out and smashed the two tables in the lobby.
There was a boom, and the table was overturned.
The guests who were eating were stunned, and after reacting, they pointed at Qian Chengcai and asked angrily, "Who are you?" Dare to smash our table? Any idea how long we've been waiting for this table?! ”
The business of Fu Tai Lou is very good, and the business is even better during the Chinese New Year, but because of the Chinese New Year, half of the staff of Fu Tai Lou have gone home on vacation. Therefore, it is not easy for the people of Fucheng to eat the things of Futailou, they can only eat this meal by relying on their own faces, and they are eating happily when they are overturned the table.
Flipping the table when eating, it's no different from smashing the pot and digging the ancestral grave in the face, can this be endured? Absolutely not!
"Brothers, this guy flipped our dinner table and slapped us in the face like this, and I will beat him back, I can't beat him to death!" A young man in a brocade robe said, took the lead in rolling up his sleeves and hit Qian Chengcai.
The others also shook their fists one after another, punching and kicking Qian Chengcai, beating Qian Chengcai so loudly that he shouted: "Stop, stop, stop me." If you dare to beat me, Li Tongzhi will not let you go, I am Li Tongzhi's nephew, my grandfather's surname is Gu, ah! ”
Among the guests at another table, there was a middle-aged man in his forties, who heard the words and said: "It turned out to be Li Tongzhi's cheap nephew, then you continue to fight, if something happens, I will be in the Yan family of Linhe Mansion." ”
The Yan family of Linhe Mansion is a famous family, and now there are many officials in the clan, the small eight-rank ones, and the big ones have the second-grade members, which are known to the people of several nearby prefectures and cities and cannot be offended.
Now that Qian Chengcai has lifted the dinner table of this old man Yan, it is estimated that he will have to peel off his skin.
After hearing this, the group of young people immediately said: "Eh, don't worry, Master Yan, this guy doesn't understand the rules, and he will take his surname if we don't eat and upset people's tables." ”
Another bang beat Qian Chengcai to the point of spitting blood.
Qian Guangzong and Gu Youlu were both afraid of death, so they didn't dare to go up to help at all, and they were afraid of being affected by Qian Chengcai, so they hid in the account room of the shopkeeper Hu and didn't dare to come out.
Li Bai couldn't hide, so he immediately went downstairs and knelt in front of the old man Yan: "The slave is the subordinate of the same prefect, ask for forgiveness from the old man." My family has no idea about this, it's all the fault of the young master Chengcai, don't worry, when I go back, my family will definitely teach the young master Chengcai a good lesson, please raise your noble hand, don't make a big fuss. ”
Master Yan didn't pay attention to Li Bai at all, and looked at the shopkeeper Hu who went downstairs: "Shopkeeper Hu, you have to make up a table for us according to the rules." ”
The shopkeeper Hu smiled: "Naturally, it has to be made up, and the kitchen people have already made it, and it will be eaten in three quarters of an hour." ”
The rules of Futai Building, no matter who smashes the guest's table, Futai Building will make up another table for the guest.
After hearing this, Master Yan nodded with satisfaction.
Shopkeeper Hu is very good at doing things, and said to Master Yan: "The private room upstairs is empty, it is reserved for you, please go to the private room for dinner." ”
Master Yan finally laughed and took the people at his table to the private room on the second floor.
"Master Yan......" Li Bai wanted to catch up, but was stopped by the shopkeeper Hu: "You better hurry home and let Li Tongzhi come forward to apologize in person, otherwise Master Yan will write a letter to his brother, and this matter will be spread to the capital. ”
Li Bai was most afraid of this, and he didn't dare to say much at the moment, and after the group of young people stopped, he immediately beckoned Qian Guangzong and Gu Youlu to carry Qian Chengcai back to the same prefect's mansion.
Aunt Gu knew that Qian Chengcai was beaten, so she cried and grabbed the ground, and cursed Futai Lou vigorously: "This Futai Lou who killed a thousand knives dares to beat my family Chengcai, and when Lord Li comes back, I will definitely ask Lord Li to be the master and seal Futai Lou!" ”
Steward Li frowned when he heard this, this old Gu family is getting more and more excessive, and he has caused such a big problem to the adult, and he even dares to shout for the adult to seal the Futai Building, thinking that his family is the emperor? Can you do anything for them?
Mrs. Gu is not stupid, after listening to Li Bai tell what happened, she grabbed Qian Guangzong and slapped him: "How did you become a father, you actually let Chengcai do such a wrong thing, and bring such trouble to Lord Li, I will kill you!" ”
As he spoke, he raised his cane and beat Qian Guangzong all the way.
