Chapter 36: The Tavern

The summer is scorching, and the dazzling sun makes people unable to open their eyes. The wind stopped moving, and the leaves on the tips of the trees stopped swaying. There was silence in the British Prince's Palace, and everyone in the palace had found a place to rest and enjoy the coolness, and even the mosquitoes had found a place to escape the heat.

There was the sound of hurried footsteps in the silent courtyard, and it turned out that Xiaoqin was holding an oil-paper umbrella and walking towards Tinglan Courtyard.

The umbrella blocked the direct rays of the sun, but it couldn't stop the roaring heat around them.

Sweat trickled down Xiaoqin's cheeks, Xiaoqin used her free hand to hold a sweat-soaked half-dried handkerchief, wiping the sweat beads on her forehead, while thinking, why did Miss have to pick this time to go to the tavern, now is the hottest time of the day, and going to the tavern later will not fly away.

Thinking of the young lady's anxious appearance, Xiaoqin couldn't help but speed up her pace.

Originally, after lunch, it was Yun Hanzhi's lunch break. She cleaned her face, washed her hands, took off her coat and lay on the bed, Xiaoqin took a fan and shook it gently, and the two chatted without a word.

Xiaoqin inadvertently mentioned today's date, but Yun Hanzhi sat up from the bed in shock when she heard it.

Yun Hanzhi instructed Xiaoqin to let the old horse prepare the car, and at the same time get up and get out of bed.

Although Xiaoqin was very puzzled, she still went out as instructed.

Yun Hanzhi picked up his clothes and put them on, sorted out his hair accessories, sat in front of the mirror and thought for a while, and then took out his money bag.

After estimating the time, Yun Hanzhi walked out of the door and met Xiaoqin, who was rushing back.

"Miss, why don't you even take an umbrella?" Xiaoqin said as she moved the umbrella in her hand and covered Yun Hanzhi tightly.

Yun Hanzhi looked at the little girl who was damaged by the heat, made a gesture to take the umbrella, and said, "You don't have to follow, I'll go back when I go." ”

"That's not good, how can the slave not follow the young lady." After Xiaoqin finished speaking, she followed without hesitation with an umbrella.

Sticky little girl, Yun Hanzhi curled the corners of her mouth, and then said no more. The two quickly walked to the pick-up location agreed with the old horse.

Since it was afternoon, there were few pedestrians on the road. Yun Han ordered the old horse to drive the car fast to buy some time.

The curtains and windows of the car were lifted, and as the carriage galloped, a trace of wind came in the car, and Xiaoqin felt a lot more comfortable.

"No matter what I do later, don't ask too much, just cooperate with me." Yun Hanzhi confessed to Xiaoqin, and at the same time fell into deep thought.

"Yes, miss." Xiaoqin's big eyes sparkled, looking at her young lady, she had a lot of doubts in her heart, but when she saw that the young lady was calm at this time, she closed her mouth.

Xiaoqin thought to herself, Miss must be going to do something important, she can't hold Miss back.

After the old horse's long "call", the carriage stopped steadily at the mouth of the alley where the tavern was located.

Because the alley is narrow, the carriage cannot drive in front of the store. The old horse went to find a place to tie the horse, Yun Hanzhi and Xiaoqin got out of the car and walked into the store.

As soon as they entered, the two were startled by the mess on the ground. At the same time, Yun Hanzhi breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, the person is fine.

Looking up, there was not a single complete table, chair and bench, and fragments of broken wine bowls, broken wine bottles, and broken wine vat were scattered all over the ground.

The boss Lao Li is scolding, his daughter-in-law Aunt Li is sitting on the ground crying and grabbing the ground, Lao Li's son Li Jiu looks uncertain, squatting and comforting his mother with a calm face.

Yun Hanzhi stood on tiptoe, lifted the hem of her skirt and walked in, Xiaoqin hesitated for a moment, and remembered Miss's explanation and followed.

After noticing that someone had entered the door, Lao Li stopped cursing, and when he saw that it was Yun Hanzhi, Lao Li glanced at his wife, and Aunt Li immediately cried and shouted and rushed over to hug Yun Hanzhi's leg.

Yun Hanzhi instinctively took two steps back, and Xiaoqin hurriedly blocked the front when he saw the situation, frowning and shouting: "If you have something to say, you're welcome to come over again!" ”

Aunt Li stopped pounce and knelt on the ground and cried bitterly. At this time, Lao Li also knelt down on the spot, crying and shouting, "Miss Yun...... You're going to rule for us......"

Yun Hanzhi's scalp is a little numb, what are you crying about, can crying solve the problem?

Xiaoqin saw Yun Hanzhi's brows slightly locked, and said to Lao Li and his wife: "If you want to be the master to find the government, what are you shouting at my young lady?" We're here to buy wine. ”

After Lao Li looked around, his eyes were full of sadness, his hands were spread, and he said, "The wine is gone...... It's all gone...... They were all smashed by those people......"

"Lao Li, have you offended people and been hated by others?" Xiaoqin was straightforward, thinking that who would come over to smash your little broken tavern if he was fine.

Not to mention the remote location, the boss is lazy, the boss has a bad temper, and there is a lack of manpower all year round, and sometimes there is no one to serve and pour wine.

Although the wine is first-class and good, the brewed wine is basically sold to restaurants, and the store is closed all year round, and only regular customers will come to the door.

"It must have been instructed by Guiyuan Lou to do it!" Li Jiu said angrily, he stood up at this time, because his left leg was short, although the person was standing, his body was crooked.

Li Jiu has been physically disabled since he was a child, and the old Li couple loves him and pities him, and works for him in everything, and has no expectations or requirements for him, as long as he keeps to himself and doesn't get into trouble.

Li Jiu doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, his father is lazy and tough, and he has to get by. When he was in a good mood, he took care of the business with his parents, and when he was in a bad mood, he dragged his lame legs around and wandered around.

The family suddenly changed, and the family was bullied like this, although Li Jiu was disabled, he was a young man in the end, and his blood was still there.

He only hated his inconvenient legs, not only could he not beat people back when the thieves came, but his old parents had to stop him and protect him.

Li Jiu held his breath in his heart, he clenched his fists, and said hatefully: "I'll go to them to theorize, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, I don't believe that they can cover the sky with one hand." As soon as he finished speaking, he limped out.

Sure enough, Yun Han sighed secretly in his heart, and shouted: "Stop! ”

The three members of the Li family were startled by this soft shout and looked at her in unison.

Yun Hanzhi asked in a deep voice: "You said that the people from Guiyuan Building did it, is there any evidence?" ”

Being asked this question, Li Jiu felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on his head, where was there any evidence, those people didn't say a word after they came, just smashed it.

But who else could it be if it wasn't Guiyuan Building?

Their family has always been honest and dutiful, and it is impossible for them to make enemies with others. Recently, if there is anything strange, it is that Guiyuanlou offered to buy his family's wine party. As soon as the father refused Guiyuanlou's request on the front foot, the gang arrived on the back foot.

Thinking of the recent rumors and the threat in the words of the people in Guiyuan Mansion when his father refused, Li Jiu said firmly: "It must be them, that is, they want my family's brewing recipe." ”

Lao Li and his wife also agreed with their son's opinion, and as soon as they went to face each other, they knew that the gang had smashed all their hard-earned money, and they had to seek justice.
