Chapter 132: Calculations from Peers (2nd Update)
Ji Mo left, and Hu Mancai said to Wu Zhan: "He doesn't seem to have given money?"
Wu Zhan was dumbfounded for a moment, and couldn't help laughing: "This is the county commander."
"The county order can't help but give money!"
This sentence was definitely not said by Hu Man, but Ji Mo, who had gone and returned, put the broken silver in his hand on the table: "Thank you for your hospitality."
Hu Man: "......"
"I heard from my mother just now that the Hu family is here again?"
"Well, but this time it's over." Hu Man scattered his hair: "You also know, I actually have nothing to do with them, but who let me occupy Hu Man's body!" This money is given to them by Hu Man! ”
Wu Zhan hugged her from behind, and her neck was a little itchy with some wet hair: "You just have a hard mouth and a soft heart."
"It's not that I'm soft-hearted, I also hate their family, it's just out of gratitude to Hu Man, and I won't have a light burden in the future!"
"It's good that you're comfortable, don't think about anything else." Wu Zhan took the comb in her hand, and although he was not very skilled, he carefully combed her long hair.
Hu Man looked at him from the mirror, and somewhat understood what it was like to be quiet, in fact, Hu Man was a person with a bad temper, her parents were pampered since she was a child, she couldn't stand the grievances, and she couldn't bear the dissatisfaction.
But she found that since she encountered Wu Zhan, she lost her temper less and less, especially in the face of Wu Zhan, she could hardly get angry, in the final analysis, she could only think that all things were born and restrained by each other, of course, this had something to do with Wu Zhan's indulgence to her almost more than her parents.
Wu Zhan is very patient, and he is not afraid of being tired or annoyed when doing things, Hu Man even thinks that he seems to love to learn very much, often she teaches him once, and he can draw inferences.
Hu Man was surprised: "I see that you want to read more than Wu Yuan!"
"Isn't the second brother also a good reader?"
"Also, your Wu family is really good-minded, it's really strange, if you want to say that Uncle Wu's genes can still be said, Aunt Wang......" Hu Man stopped talking, it seemed to be a bit hurtful.
Today is the seventh day of opening, and finally there is a restaurant that can't hold back, I thought it was just fresh, and the guests would recover in a few days, but who would have thought that the reputation of this manxiangju is getting bigger and bigger, and the guests are getting fewer and fewer, so if it goes on like this, how much money can it make?
Of course, these elves also know that this restaurant has something to do with Wu Qingshui, and they won't come to find trouble rashly, in fact, they themselves are also curious, what are these dishes that they have never heard of! How do you make customers obsessed with frequent patronage?
However, Hu Man didn't know many people in the county, even if she came to dinner, she couldn't recognize her, but a guy who had worked in many homes came over and whispered to her which person was the boss of which family.
Hu Man looked at it: "Well, the person who comes is a guest, just say hello."
And the people didn't look for anything, they left after eating, and when the restaurant was proofed, the guys and chefs left, and their family ate.
Wang Fang boiled medicine for Wu Linchuan: "Manman, the old man has been saying recently that he wants to stand up and try, can you see if it's okay?"
Hu Man pinched, much better than the previous loose and saggy, at least he had energy, and it was no problem to raise his legs or something on his own, Hu Man nodded: "You can exercise properly, but you can only stand for a short while, and you have to hold on to things, and slowly there is no abnormality, so that you can add time."
Wu Linchuan was happy: "Okay."
The family is talking and eating! Suddenly heard an urgent knock on the door outside, not so much knocking on the door, but slamming the door, everyone felt the unusual atmosphere, Wu Zhan got up, took the knife in his hand, and slowly walked to the door.
I only heard a voice from outside: "Shopkeeper!" Madame! It's me! Open the door! ”
"It's Qi Shen!" Wu Zhan put down his sword and hurriedly opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, the person fell in, and Wu Zhan reacted quickly to catch the person: "What's wrong?"
"My hands! My hand! Qi Shen covered his right hand, and his cuffs were full of blood.
Wu Zhan hurriedly brought people in, Wu Qing went to close the door of the restaurant, Hu Man took the medicine box, lifted his sleeve and saw that his wrist was blurred with flesh and blood.
Wang Fang turned her head away in fright: "How did this come to this?"
Hu Man gave him a letter towel and bit it: "It hurts a little, you bear it!"
Hu Man used wine to clean the soil in his wound, Qi Shen convulsed in pain, his forehead was full of cold sweat, Hu Man grabbed his moving hand: "Hold him down!"
Wu Zhan held down his shoulder, Wu Qing held his arm, and after cleaning and disinfecting, Hu Man pinched his wrist, and as soon as he moved, Qi Shen began to scream in pain, Hu Man sighed: "It's broken!"
After applying the medicine, he fixed his wrist with a wooden board and hung a strip of cloth around his neck: "What the hell is going on?"
Qi Shen slowed down, and then gasped and said: "The person who came to the restaurant to eat at night, that is, the owner of Herui Restaurant, blocked me on my way home, saying that I should change jobs to cook in his restaurant and give me double salary, but I have signed a contract with Manxiangju, of course I can't leave, but he left without saying anything, and after a while, a few people stopped me, and I couldn't help but break up and hit my hand several sticks."
"This, this is too deceitful!" Wu Qing was incredulous: "Do they still have a royal law?!"
"Let's go report to the official!" Wang Fang said: "If they don't report to the official, they must think that we are afraid, and it is becoming more and more excessive."
"I'll take you there early tomorrow morning." Wu Zhan spoke: "It seems that some people can't help it, and if they want to dig up the chef and don't succeed in coming to the yin, it is difficult to ensure that the other two people will not suffer."
"It's normal to be looked down upon." Wu Linchuan said in a deep voice: "As long as you can find him out and punish him severely, and kill the chicken to show the monkey, no matter what other people think, they have to weigh it."
"Well, you squeeze with Wu Qing today, and go to the county government early tomorrow morning."
Qi Shen nodded: "But I don't know when my hand will be good, the restaurant is ...... here."
"It's okay, I'll start it myself when I'm busy, you just take care of your injuries! Don't worry, you have to let this person compensate you more! ”
After such a incident, everyone was in a bad mood, and they didn't have the heart to eat, Hu Man went to bed after washing: "Why do you say there are such immoral people?" People eat by their hands! ”
"That's what he's trying to do." Wu Zhan changed into a middle coat: "He wants to scare us!" The warning is too eye-catching, and it has been noticed. ”
"What then?" Hu Man turned over and faced him: "We are also serious business, and we have to earn money to live!" You can't just close the door just because customers love to eat our food, right? ”
"It's not our fault that the food is delicious, it's our fault that we're too weak." Wu Zhan's big hand wrapped around her black hair: "Because I know that we have no background and no ability, we dare to bully us so blatantly!" And Qi Shen is nothing to them! In their opinion, giving officials some benefits, and then a little more compensation, it will be over, and it will not hurt at all! But it can make our business bad, the chef is scared, and others don't dare to make a living again. ”
"So what do you say? Will this new prefectural magistrate be so easy to indulge them? ”
"It's hard to say." Wu Zhan sighed: "I don't think so, not only is the county commander's personality relatively unique, but after all, he has just taken office, so he is not taken seriously, presumably he can't please him."
"That's right! If a new official takes office with three fires, if he can't establish his prestige from the beginning, it will not be easy to manage in the future. Hu Man sighed: "I don't want to, sleep!" The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth! ”
There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Wu Zhan and Hu Man took Qi Shen to the county government together, and the county order was directly promoted: "Who is under the hall?" What's the drumming? ”
Qi Shen knelt down and said, "My lord, the grass people want Xie Herui, the owner of Gao Herui Restaurant!"
"Is there a complaint?"
Hu Man presented the paper he had written with both hands: "My lord, here."
Ji Mo glanced at Hu Man, and then looked at the martial arts next to him, before he looked down at the paper, Hu Man didn't write much, but it was simple and clear, Ji Mo asked Qi Shen: "How can you be sure that the person who hurt you later is Xie Herui's person?"
Qi Shen said: "My lord, it was he who wanted the grass people to change jobs, and he sent people to harm the grass people because he was angry, who else could it be if it wasn't him?"
"How do you prove it?" Ji Mo continued to ask.
Qi Shen hesitated, unable to figure out why he couldn't understand the words of this county order, but Hu Man reacted quickly, and said crisply: "My lord, we really don't have evidence, but the folk girl thinks that the person he found is nothing more than the person in his restaurant, and he can find it together to confront and identify."
Ji Mo picked the corner of his mouth: "Come on, go and pass on Xie Herui and everyone in his shop!"
Wu Zhan went out of the ranks, and went with a few catchers, and within a quarter of an hour, Xie Herui and the five guys in the restaurant all brought it.
Xie Herui is an old man in his forties and fifties, and his body is on the fat side: "The grass people have seen adults."
Ji Mo pointed to the complaint: "Someone accused you of deliberately hurting people, do you have anything to say?"
Xie Herui took it and looked at it, and said very stiffly: "My lord, the grass people don't know about this, this is slander!"
Qi Shen couldn't help but say, "You dare to say that you didn't go to Manxiangju for dinner yesterday?" Didn't stop me halfway and let me cook at your restaurant? ”
Xie Herui's face was normal: "I have it!" But who says you can't go to dinner? I do want you to work with me, but if you don't agree, I can't help it! As for who hit you, I really don't know! ”
"You!" Qi Shenqi's chest rose and fell: "It's not you, who else?" It's clear that you are taking revenge on me and want to abolish my hands so that I can no longer be a chef! ”
Xie Herui nodded: "It makes sense, but do you have evidence?"
Qi Shen looked back at those guys, but he was blinded, it felt like it, but it didn't seem to be either, it was getting late, he was panicked at the time, and he really didn't see it so real.
"My ......, my lord"
"Which one?"
"When I went home yesterday, it was late, and the grass people, the grass people didn't dare to rashly identify it."
Xie Herui looked proud: "My lord, can the grass people go back?"
Ji Mo raised the corners of his lips: "You can't be convicted without evidence, retreat!"
