Chapter 241: Not a Drop of Water
In fact, these days, Lianzhou is still calm, I took out the grain in the cellar, solved the problem of eating many people in the cellar, and has been sending people to keep an eye on your house, but out of nowhere, a gang of ruffians and hooligans have come out of nowhere, smashed your shop, and broke into your house to beat people, but fortunately I was stopped by my people, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. ”
Mu Tianyue's expression also became solemn, his sword eyebrows twisted into a knot, and he explained one by one, and he seemed to be a little puzzled in his heart.
"Ruffians? Did you report to the official? Qian Qianqian was also a little surprised, there is nothing in this world for no reason, so those so-called ruffians and hooligans should not be simple.
"Zhou Lin also knows about this matter, so he has been sending people to guard near your house before, and once he caught those people and put them in prison, I thought that this matter was over, but I didn't expect them to be arrested, and there were more people to make up, there were only three people, and there were more than 20 more prisoners in the prison, and it was definitely not a way to continue like this."
Mu Tianyue took a sip of tea, his movements were still warm, and his deep eyes revealed the unique shrewdness of a businessman, and the things that could make him stump must not be a simple matter.
"It seems that someone is manipulating behind this scene, have you interrogated those hooligans? Did they spit out something? ”
Qian Qianqian thought about it in her heart, her eyebrows were twisted into a dead knot, and her face was a little ugly.
"Naturally, it was interrogated, but those people didn't know anything at all, they just said that someone gave them ten taels of silver, let them come to pick quarrels and provoke trouble, find trouble in your family, torture, coercion and temptation, all of them have tried, and they can only vomit so much, so Zhou Lin can only temporarily put them in prison and wait for them to be released."
Mu Tianyue was also very distressed, there were ruffians coming to make trouble every day before, and there was more than one wave, as if he couldn't catch it no matter how he caught, if it continued like this, there would be no place in the prison, so Mu Tianyue could only temporarily pick up Qian Mu and a few people, so that those ruffians could not find anyone.
"I see, thank you so much." Qian Qianqian was a little lost, she couldn't even dig out anything from Zhou Lin, eighty percent of those ruffians really didn't know anything, it seems that the people behind the scenes are really doing things.
"You're welcome, you escorted the food, originally it was for me, and I took care of your family for you, it's all right, but you should go and take a look at your shop, it's very likely that you won't be able to open it for half a year."
Mu Tianyue's face was a little guilty, if it weren't for the fact that there were too many ruffians and hooligans that day, and almost all of them were people in Lianzhou City, the officers and soldiers couldn't take care of it for a while, and they didn't dare to take it too seriously, and the hot pot restaurant wouldn't have become like this.
Qian Qianqian had already prepared in her heart, for her, the shop was nothing at all, as long as her family was fine.
"Come with me and take a look.
Seeing Qianqian stand up, as soon as the words fell, she raised her feet and walked out, she patronized to find Qian Mu and a few people, so she hadn't been to a hot pot restaurant yet, so she just took this opportunity to take a look.
Mu Tianyue didn't refuse, led Qian Qianqian to go, walked to the door of the hot pot restaurant, and before she pushed the door, Qian Qianqian was stunned for a moment, half of the wooden door of the hot pot restaurant was hanging in the air, shaking, and there was a hole in the door, which was obviously kicked by someone, and it looked very dilapidated.
Qian Qianqian slowly raised her hand, carefully pushed the door open a little, and then squeezed in sideways, as she expected, everything was smashed, and there were a lot of insulting words written on the wall in black ink, which was simply unbearable.
The original white walls have been blackened a lot, and there is a smell of mush everywhere, and it can be seen that this place was once set on fire, but it was extinguished when the fire was not very large, so it did not cause more serious consequences.
The beams overhead had been cut out, and the floor was full of smashed tables and chairs, as well as sharp shards of celadon dishes, and every step had to be carefully guarded with your feet.
The good shop was destroyed like this, and a craftsman had to be hired to repair it, and the tables, chairs and dishes had to be replaced, and the kitchen was completely smashed.
"I didn't know when they smashed it, and when someone saw it and went to inform me, they had already done it, so they closed this hot pot restaurant before you left, so they didn't hurt anyone, but these things of yours, it's a pity."
Mu Tianyue's mood was also a little heavy, and he explained to himself on the side that by the time he and Zhou Lin arrived, it had become a puddle of mud, and it couldn't be saved.
"It's okay, what is this? There are so many shops in this Lianzhou City, they smashed this one, I can continue to rent other houses, business is always done by people, I don't believe that just these ruffians can stop me from doing business. ”
Qian Qianqian sneered, with a hint of mockery on her face, as if she was mocking the person hiding behind the scenes, since someone came at her like this, then she would definitely not be polite, she wanted to see who was more powerful.
"Boss Qian is really a heroine among women, with courage, I was originally afraid that you would be sad and crying, but now looking at your expression, I am finally relieved."
Mu Tianyue finally breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time looked at Qian Qianqian in his heart, he really didn't expect that a woman could be so open-minded, and she was really a person who achieved great things.
"What's there to be sad about? I also rented this shop, and I didn't miss the money for the renovations, but it was obvious that someone had touched my moldy head and deliberately made it impossible for me to do business, so I must find out the people behind this scene and give them some color to see. ”
Qian Qianqian's red lips raised slightly, and her eyes became sharp, she has never been a dumb person, and now it is the same, she was bullied so inexplicably, if she didn't make any moves, it wouldn't be her.
"Zhou Lin and I will definitely support you, this matter is really lacking in morality, don't worry, I will give you the money for the maintenance of your shop, which can be regarded as making amends to you."
Mu Tianyue also said very surely, but Qian Qianqian didn't think so, in her opinion, Mu Tianyue was her benefactor, what was there to make amends to her, didn't this say the opposite?
"No, I have all this money, besides, I have troubled you for so many days, how can you still make amends to me?"
Qian Qianqian turned her head and refused, with her hands behind her back, in fact, seeing this scene, her heart was dripping blood, but in front of Mu Tianyue, she couldn't be so spineless, nor could she feel sorry for herself, scolding like a shrew here.
"It's because I didn't take care of this shop for you, so people have a chance, I naturally want to make amends to you, as long as you don't blame me, that's fine."
Mu Tianyue sighed, his face was a little helpless, although he was quite prestigious in Lianzhou, but after all, he was just a businessman, and he was still weaker in terms of power after all.
"There are some things that you can't control, you can protect my family for me, I'm already grateful to you."
Qian Qianqian's face did not change, her eyes gradually softened, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and her eyes were faintly full of sorrow.
"Where are the ruffians who bothered me now? I want to see them. Qian Qianqian's words changed, and her expression immediately calmed down, and the top priority at the moment was to find out about this matter.
"I'm still in prison, Zhou Lin's side has already been fixed, I'll go with me."
Mu Tianyue turned sideways and made a "please" gesture, Qian Qianqian followed him to the yamen, and Zhou Lin was already waiting at the door.
"Boss Qian, you can count it back, I heard that the frontier has won a big victory, and the hearts of the people in this city have settled down a lot."
"You're well-informed." Qian Qianqian just pursed her lips and smiled, and greeted lightly, her mind was not here.
"I know that this Lianzhou matter has made you very unhappy, and everyone has been caught, so go and take a look."
Zhou Lin knew why Qian Qianqian came, so he walked in front to lead the way, and took Qian Qianqian into the prison.
When the jailer opened the cell, all the ruffians were in good spirits, huddled together and seemed to be very afraid, and it seemed that they should have been tortured in the cell for the past few days.
"My lord, please spare me, I really just collect money to do things, and I have done things that should not be done for a while, and I have handed over all the money, I really don't know anything."
"Yes, yes, we are just ordinary people, although we have done a lot of wrong things on weekdays, we have never really harmed anyone, this time, we are really forced by money."
The ruffians knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, with large and small injuries on their bodies, and kept kowtowing, and some even cried bitterly, not like they were deliberately acted.
"Are you really so innocent? Think about it again, among you, if anyone has any suspicious behavior, as long as he stands up and points out, Lord Zhou will immediately release him. ”
Qian Qianqian remained silent, there was no panic on her face, her eyebrows were raised lightly, and there was an indescribable temptation between the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.
Those ruffians looked at each other, all of them were puzzled, and they all wanted to save themselves at this time, who could control others, so someone soon stood up and identified the people around them.
"You are talking nonsense, when did I get an extra five taels of silver? Could it be that you are a thief yourself and want to take me on your back? ”
"If you dare to slander me, I will kill you!"
For a while, the cell was lively, these ruffians ate dogs, there was no moment of peace, they all wanted to bite others out, and then get rid of their own crimes, so it was difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
Qian Qianqian saw that these people were really vulgar, and if there were too many people, it was easy for someone to fish in troubled waters, so it was difficult to find out what was wrong, so she silently turned around and left, letting these people fight slowly by themselves.
This place was handed over to the jailer in the cell, so no one would be killed, Zhou Lin and Mu Tianyue also followed Qian Qianqian, and several of them were silent for a long time.
"Have you found out the background of these people?"
Qian Qianqian thought about it in her heart, and finally opened her mouth, she always felt that since something had happened, it must not be traceless, and there must be clues hidden in it.
