Chapter 298: The Tang Mansion is besieged
So, Zhao County Commander found two cronies and asked them to send the song to the Zhao family's house in the capital day and night.
He also attached a letter specifically to his second brother, and the other party knew what was going on when he saw the letter.
If it weren't for the special situation, he really didn't want to trouble those people in the main family, but without the family, there would be no him, and he would not be able to stand alone in the officialdom.
"Now it seems that Tang Chu is really smart, not only delicate, but also knows how to serve the country and the people. If she hadn't contributed to this, we wouldn't have been able to know all the secrets and truths so quickly. ”
"By the way, the second prince can be included in the official mansion?" Xie asked.
"Not yet, his identity is special, and he is also the most important witness in our hands, if something happens, everything will be ruined, so he is temporarily detained in the Tang Mansion, and I will send some people to go later, and I will say to the outside world that I am guarding Miss Tang."
"Won't this be detrimental to the Tang family?" Master Xie frowned.
Although he doesn't understand business matters, he also knows that once something happens to the master's family, then all the shops under his name will suffer losses, and if it is more serious, people's hearts will be unstable, and this time is the most likely to have an accident.
Xie Zhushu s worry Zhao Xianling saw it in his eyes, and he suddenly had a feeling that everyone was drunk and I was sober.
Tang Chu did this, firstly, she could sell a favor to the government, but more importantly, she was cleaning up the portal!
In the past, when the Tang clan had not developed into this, although there were a few shopkeepers who deceived their superiors and subordinates and filled their pockets, they had all been kicked out by Tang Chu, but this does not mean that the rest were all good guys.
Therefore, Tang Chu's actions this time were almost killing two birds with one stone, and he could take this opportunity to see which people in Tang's shop were trustworthy and which needed to be dealt with as soon as possible.
What is this for a teenage girl! It is clear that only a lady who has been in power for many years can imagine it!
Zhao Xianling shook his head, and did not tell his analysis to Master Xie, and it is estimated that he will not necessarily believe it if he says it.
Oh, yes! If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes and heard it with his own ears, he wouldn't believe it at all that Tang Chu was such a wise and close to demon person.
The sun slowly moved to the south, and the sky at this time has slowly become higher and farther, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and a cool breeze blows, making people sigh that autumn is coming.
At this time, a group of officers and soldiers suddenly surrounded outside the Tang Mansion, they were wearing military armor, reflecting the cold light in the sun, which made people shudder to watch.
"What's going on? Did the Tang family commit something? A passer-by asked.
"I don't know! Looking at this posture, it must be a big deal, it seems that the good days of the Tang family are over! Someone gloated.
"I heard that there was a murder in that famous broken courtyard in the city yesterday, it can't be Miss Tang's doing, right?" There are doubts.
"How is it possible, she's a daughter, what are you going to do there?"
"Maybe it's a lover?" Someone maliciously speculated.
"Nonsense, how could Miss Tang's daughter do such a thing, could it be wronged?" Someone argued.
The street in front of the Tang family is a rich area, and there are few ordinary people in ordinary times, but because there are shops on the street outside, the encirclement of officers and soldiers has attracted many people to come to the Tang Mansion to watch the excitement.
People are talking about their guesses, although there are all kinds of speculations, but they all feel that someone in the Tang family must have made a mistake, either Tang Chu or Master Tang.
However, many people who do business have indeed not seen Mr. Tang in recent months, so some restaurant owners have wondered if something happened to Mr. Tang.
It is not only those competitors of the Tang family who have this kind of speculation, and at this time, many shops of the Tang family have been informed one after another.
"Shopkeeper, have you heard? The Tang Mansion was surrounded by officers and soldiers. The crow came over in a hurry, still holding the unfinished food in his hand.
"You go get busy first, and then come back later." Zou Shiyan was making calculations at this time, and immediately stopped when he heard the crow bird say this.
He thought back to going to the Tang Mansion today, at that time there were only a few officials guarding the door, why did there suddenly have officers and soldiers surrounding the Tang Mansion now?
He was a little anxious, and although he looked at the accounts in his eyes, he didn't know where his thoughts had gone.
After the jay went to deliver the food, it came over quickly.
He said to Zou Shiyan, "Shopkeeper, didn't you notice that there are obviously a lot fewer guests today?" ”
Zou Shiyan raised his head and looked around.
Indeed, although the temple fair has passed, the residual heat is still there, and the outsiders who come to Suizhou to see the excitement or enjoy the mountains and rivers will not leave for a while, but the number of people today has obviously decreased.
In the past, it was full, full of seats, and there was a queue outside, but today, not to mention the queue, even the tables and chairs on the first floor are not full.
If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!
"The shopkeeper, will it have anything to do with what I just heard from the guest?" The crow looked at Zou Shiyan with a pair of eyes.
Zou Shiyan took a deep breath, "Yes, these guests may have heard that the Tang family was surrounded and thought that they were being punished by the imperial court, so they didn't come to Tang Dong for dinner, and now these guests sitting down are either rich or expensive or haven't heard the news." ”
"Then I'm just saying, when this matter spreads more and more widely, and everyone knows about it, won't there be no guests in our restaurant."
Zou Shiyan didn't speak, he just pursed his lips, he had no way to answer this question, it is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and now they slowly know that something happened to the Tang family, so Shengdou Xiaomin will definitely not come again, and those who have status will not come again in order to avoid suspicion.
In the long run, the Tang family's business will be stolen by other competitors......
"Alas! What can I do? I don't know what happened to Miss? The whole face of the crow was wrinkled together, and he looked bitter and hateful.
Taking advantage of the fact that there were fewer and fewer customers in the store, Zou Shiyan walked out of Tang Dong and walked towards Tang's house after an explanation, he wanted to know what was going on? Obviously there was nothing going on in the morning, and Tang Chu was also very calm, but now why did he suddenly turn over like a boat on a calm lake, which suddenly made people worried.
Along the way, Zou Shiyan heard someone discussing this matter from time to time, most of the people thought that Tang Chu had committed a big crime, and there were other restaurants that were also thriving, and there were many guests in front of the door, and it seemed that the flow of people from Tang Dong Restaurant was divided.
But at this time, Zou Shiyan was not worried about how much he had lost in business, he looked at it more openly, he could earn it back if the money was gone, if something happened to people, there would really be nothing.
He believed that Tang Chu was also thinking the same as he thought.
