Love Chapter 44: The Tavern of the Dead

"I have to go over today."

As soon as I came down the stairs, I heard the conversation between Qiu Feng and Wu Bing, and in order to prevent them from finding out, I hid around the corner and eavesdropped.

"You have a big belly now, so stay at home." Wu Bing dissuaded Qiu Feng.

"If I don't go over, how will the money be distributed to us." Qiu Feng looked at Wu Bing with a serious face.

Wu Bing thought backwards, but decided to accompany Qiu Feng out.

Where are they going?

"Chief Mao, take us to the tavern." Qiu Feng picked up a thin coat and put it on his hand, and Wu Bing followed.

Since the tavern had that incident, it has been closed for a month, and now that the days have passed, more than half a month has passed, almost a month, and Su Wei didn't mention the tavern matter to me, I don't know what the matter has been resolved.

It happened that Su Wei was off today, so I immediately ran up to the second floor.

I knocked on Su Wei's door, but I didn't expect to push the door open, it turned out that Su Wei had already gotten up and was dressing up.

"Quick, close the door." Su Wei glanced outside a few times and closed the door.

"Mother, I heard Qiu Feng talk about it just now." Before I could finish speaking, Su Wei spoke first.

"I know what they're doing in the tavern, I'll go later." Su Wei was biting a rubber band in her mouth, and her two hands were tying her hair.

"Are you going too? What happened? I approached Su Wei and asked.

"The tavern is going to be sold." When Su Wei said this, she was not surprised or surprised at all, as if she was fully prepared.

"What?" I opened my mouth wide and my face was full of doubt.

"The person who drank the fake wine died before, and the family members came to make trouble every day during our closure, and the family members of the deceased wore white flowers and white linen, knelt in front of our tavern and wept, and even burned the body in front of the hall, burning gold ingots and treasures, which was extremely unlucky."

"Didn't the police take care of this matter?"

"Now that I heard about the Gu family's economic decline, not to mention whether the police will come to manage this matter, our previous business partners have not reached out to help."

"Where are the Shen family and the Wang family?" I question.

Su Wei shook her head, and I probably knew what it meant.

"Now we are going to sell the tavern to the family who lost money, that person is simply a lion's mouth, and the law doesn't want to care, and we have no way to keep it." Su Wei sighed.

"I heard that the buyer is not a native of Ziyang, but also a businessman who runs a tavern, and he wants to open a branch in Ziyang this time." Su Wei continued.

"Will we also score for the money from the sale?" I lowered my voice and looked at Su Wei seriously, waiting for her answer.

"Teng Zhi is the eldest brother, no matter how he scores, he will score a big head." Su Wei puffed out her cheeks angrily and looked at me with her hands crossed on her waist.

"Your father is useless, everything in the family is handed over to me, and he doesn't care about being a big man." Su Wei's tone gradually revealed her disappointment with Teng Zhi.

I followed Su Wei to the tavern, and before I reached the tavern, I saw many people gathered in front of the tavern, all pointing to the plaque on the door and not knowing what they were saying, as if they disagreed and argued.

"That's how the plaque here is designed."

"Mr. Feng Shui said that the size of the plaque should be according to the size he gave, otherwise it will not be able to hold here."

"There is no feng shui or feng shui thing, I don't believe in these, you just do what I say, or you don't do it." An old gentleman in a large gown strokes his beard and points to the plaque.

This old gentleman should be the businessman who bought the Upper Nine Pavilion, and the arrogance on his body is like the sharpness that was exposed in the bones before the law made people feel a cold chill behind him.

I watched with my own eyes as the plaque of the "Upper Ninth Hall" was hammered down by the workers, and on both sides of the gate, the workers stood on wooden ladders, and one person stood on one side to take down the signs. Its heavy sour wood fell heavily to the ground and was torn in half, and the Upper Nine Pavilion was taken down.

I was so frightened by the sound of the slamming on the ground that I covered my ears, and Su Wei covered my ears with both hands, and despite this blocking, I could still hear the thunderous roar, which hit my heart so hard.

At this time, we were about to enter the tavern, and Ji Lu walked out of the door, followed by Qiu Feng and Wu Bing.

Qiu Feng is far away from the law, it seems that she still can't let go of the events of that day and can't forgive the law's behavior.

"Why are you here?" Ryu looked at us with a puzzled look on his face.

"The tavern should come and see."

"After we have discussed it, you will all follow me into the secret room." The law looked at us and Qiu Feng.

Sure enough, the man who bought the tavern was the old gentleman, and he looked at his countenance earnestly, and the amiable smile that bloomed from his face always felt a little out of place, and his face was full of spots of yellow, dark skin, and his eye sockets were sunken into the sockets, like a painting embedded in the wall. He smiled, and his cheeks showed two obvious dimples, as amiable as a laughing Buddha.

"That's the price."

We sat in a teahouse, and the old gentleman and the lawyer sat side by side, and the old gentleman wrote down the purchase price on a piece of paper and showed it to the lawyer.

"The price is too low." The law still said politely, and always treated each other with a smile.

"There have been deaths here, and if I give it to you at the real price, then I am not worthy of being a businessman." The old gentleman said with a smile, supporting his knees with one hand and spreading the fan in his hand with the other.

"Even so, it can't be half the market price." The law has always maintained a hippie smile.

"If the price doesn't work, I can only buy it." The old gentleman put away the fan and placed it on the table.

"Negotiable." The rhythm slapped the old gentleman on the back.

I've never seen such a scene of low pleading in a way that makes the law so loud, and it's really a little unaccustomed.

Later, the law was sold at the price paid by the old gentleman.

"Then I'll pack up everything this month, and I'm going to install the plaque." The law and the old gentleman shook hands and made a deal.

The law nodded in agreement.

Ritsu led us into the secret room, and we followed him right behind, his staggering back made me think he was really tired.

"This money, Qiu Feng is the big head, Su Wei, you take the small head, I don't want a penny." The law of law opened the ledger and wrote it on the last page of the ledger one by one.

"Why do we take a small head, Teng Zhi is the eldest brother." Su Wei stood up and questioned the law.

"Are you too embarrassed to ask?" Qiu Feng slapped the table.

"You ask yourself, has the eldest brother ever contributed a penny for this family?" Qiu Feng's fierce eyes stared at us.

"Don't talk about that, just because Tengzhi is the eldest brother and the son, the Gu family should give it to him, and he can't lose a penny." Su Wei also slapped the table.

Suddenly, the ledger was slapped by gravity, and it flew up and fell down in an instant.

"Don't argue, that's my decision." He said this in a light tone, and finally closed the ledger.

"In a few days, after the old gentleman calls the money, you will come to this address to find me." He opened the ledger again, tore a small piece from the last page of paper, and wrote down the address where he lived near Xingyue Field.

"You take it." The law handed the note to Qiu Feng.

Qiu Feng acted as if he hadn't seen it, completely ignoring the law.

"Then Wu Bing, you take it." Zhi Lu turned his head to look at Wu Bing again, and Wu Bing took it with both hands.

"I won't go to you to get this money, I want you to send it to me in person." Qiu Feng looked at the law with serious eyes.

The law glanced at Qiu Feng, then lowered his head and closed the account book again.

"Let's just disperse."

Before Su Wei could ask, the law looked at Su Wei and said, "You can just take some of it." ”

Then, Ah Mao Chang left from the law.

When I got home, I heard Teng Zhi's voice on the phone, and his impatient and indifferent attitude was just a matter of urgency. On the other side of the phone, Su Wei kept describing to Teng Zhi what had happened in the past few days, blaming Teng Zhi for not seeing Jinyu for the last time, but was caught by the two Qiu Feng sisters for a chance.

Su Wei kept scolding Teng Zhi with some unspeakable words, scolding Teng Zhi for nothing, he was a waste-like man. But Teng Zhi on the phone did not feel resentful of Su Wei because of this, but kept explaining with a tepid attitude that the highest salary of his work was just like that, and he always had no time, and he did not regret that he couldn't come back to see Jinyu for the last time.

"We didn't pay any money anyway, so it's nice to be able to give us."

"Some things are just over, why bother with them so much?"

"Birth, old age, sickness and death, no one can stop it from happening." The voice on the phone was so harsh that I could hear their conversation while sitting not far away.

Teng Zhi kept talking in his own tone, chattering non-stop, and even took out what he had said and said it again, repeating it several times, like stir-frying cold rice.

Finally, before Teng Zhi could finish speaking, Su Wei put down the phone heavily.

"I'm going crazy." This was the first thing Su Wei said to me after hanging up the phone.

I saw Su Wei run into the room, she covered her face with her hands, shouted as hard as she could, and then squatted on the edge of the bed, clasped her hands on her knees, buried her head in her arms, and sobbed.

Actually, I should have expected that Su Wei had been sending me distress signals all the time.

What she wrote in her diary was the accumulation of her disappointment over the years, so whatever I perceived, I had to pretend not to see.

I whispered out of her line of sight, turned off the light, and closed the door. At this point, the dark shadow of the room grew larger and larger as I closed the door, and the scope of the light became smaller and smaller until it disappeared.

After I closed the door, Su Wei finally burst into tears.

"Young lady, she?" At this time, Ah Mao Chang passed behind me.

I was startled and patted myself on the chest.

"Why don't you make a sound when you walk?" I asked in a low voice.

"I walked fast and loud, maybe you didn't hear me."

"Mother should be fine after crying." I bowed my head.

"The matter of the Seven Monarchs is a bit eyebrow-raising." When Ah Mao Chang said this to me, he seemed very calm and composed.

"What?"

"What did the police say?"

"Originally, the case was closed today, I went over to inquire, and the police said that new clues had been found, and the person who set the fire that day was very likely to be Qijun."

"It can't be her."

"Yes, I also believe that it is not her, but clues have been found, and it is inconvenient to disclose too much information, and this case will continue to be investigated." Ah Mao Chang leaned into my ear and said to me.

I'm starting to believe that Ah Mao has grown again.
