Chapter 21: A Chicken Becomes a Pot-Bearer
Li Laohei didn't know that Zhang Yuan was Zhang Zhiye's son, otherwise he wouldn't tell Zhang Yuan about it even if he was killed.
That night, he heard the man in black say to Che Xiyu that he wanted her to carry out the task as soon as possible and gain Zhang Zhiye's trust. However, listening to Che Xiyu's meaning, it seemed that he was about to give up, and he vaguely listened to the man in black talking about treasures and the like, and he didn't hear it too clearly.
"So you mean that there will be treasures in the Zhang Mansion?" Zhang Yuan said to Li Laohei.
"Then I don't know, but I heard what they said. ”
Li Laohei's words should not be fake, I heard Boss Liu say that Che Xiyu was arrested by a group of mysterious people, so he suspected that it was the third gang, and there was no reason to explain this matter before, but now it's right, the third gang has always been mysterious and unpredictable, but the person who was responsible for collecting intelligence before is only one of them, what they do is neither black nor white, and they are in a gray area, how can they do this kind of thing now?
Could it be that his guesses are all wrong, or is Li Laohei lying? Zhang Yuan stretched out the dagger to Li Laohei's neck, "What you said is true?"
The sharp blade had already scratched his skin, and Li Laohei was so frightened that he didn't dare to move, and said tremblingly, "Really...... It's all this time, how dare I lie to you!"
"Well, then I'll believe you once!" After saying this, before Li Laohei could say anything, Zhang Yuan stabbed the dagger straight into the major artery in his neck with his right hand, pulled out the dagger, and the blood poured out like a fountain, Li Laohei stared straight at Zhang Yuan with a pair of big eyes, he couldn't imagine that the sixteen-year-old boy in front of him would dare to kill people!
Zhang Yuan stretched out his hand to close Li Laohei's eyes, and whispered,
"I'm really sorry, if I let you go, then I will have to guard against you day and night in the future. ”
It was the first time for him to do this kind of thing, but Zhang Yuan didn't have the slightest nervousness, exhaled a deep breath of turbidity, washed his hands, and then took a handful of heads and a shovel and walked out of the door, taking advantage of the middle of the night to go directly out of the door to the back mountain to dig the pit, and then returned to carry Li Laohei's body to bury him, and finally returned to Chunfeng Building to clean up the scene, making sure that there was no trace left.
It all said quickly, but by the time he had cleaned it up, the rooster had already begun to crow, and the sky was already white.
As early as the 21st century, every time Zhang Yuan saw a criminal case such as theft or robbery on the news, he always imagined in his heart what he would do to escape the pursuit of the police if he was the suspect.
However, Zhang Yuan once scoffed at this, after all, he only thought about it in his heart, and did not actually take action to emulate, now that he thinks about it, he may really be said by that psychology expert, he has not done it in the 21st century because the streets were full of cameras at that time, and because of the Internet information age, it is very likely that he just committed a crime one minute, and he will be caught the next minute.
But now it's different, being in the Qing Dynasty, and Li Laohei is a person who has already left in the eyes of Qingping County, so Zhang Yuan dares to do this.
Exhausted, he squinted his eyes and thought carefully about what details were still missing before and after, and after thinking about it, he finally opened his eyes wide, yes! The blood stains on his clothes, and the smell of blood on the ground, this smell can't be dispersed in a short time! Maybe he has been in the house for a while now, so he can't smell it at all, but it doesn't mean that people who just come in can't smell it!
He hurriedly took off his coat and stuffed it into the stove pit, and then hurried back to Zhang's mansion, hurriedly knocked on the door, returned to his room, and took another set of clothes to put on. Now the morning market should have opened, fortunately the morning market is on the street above the Chunfeng Building, so he went to buy a chicken, and went to the money village to exchange the silver ticket, and finally returned to the back kitchen of the Chunfeng Building with a kitchen knife to wipe the neck of the chicken.
Pity this chicken, you have to carry a pot before becoming someone else's plate, just after doing all this, Hu Fatzi and Zhang Mei walked in together,
Zhang Mei covered her nose and pointed to the chicken in Zhang Yuan's hand and said,
"Big brother, what are you doing here?"
Hu Fatzi also had the same question, Zhang Yuan put the knife down, then stood up and clapped his hands to look at the two, and said with a smile,
"Of course, it's to celebrate that we officially took over Chunfeng Building today, I bought a chicken and thought about killing and stewing, but just slaughtered it, I suddenly remembered that I couldn't handle it, Boss Hu, it seems that you have to trouble you in this matter." ”
When Boss Hu heard this, he asked,
"You got rid of the haunting?"
"That's natural, but you are not allowed to ask about the specific method, and the secret of heaven must not be revealed. Zhang Yuan said with his old god there.
Hu Fatzi's concept of this matter is that as long as Chunfeng Lou is no longer haunted, as for the process, it doesn't matter what Zhang Yuan doesn't want to say, he is not interested, Zhang Mei is timid and pitiful, and he doesn't want to listen to it, he looked at Zhang Yuan excitedly,
"That's great, we can reopen today!"
Zhang Yuan shook his head and said to the fat man,
"Not yet, we still have to do a few things before the official opening, and I hope Boss Hu will forgive me!"
Fat Hu clasped his fists with both hands and arched his hand to Zhang Yuan, "Don't be cold with me Young Master Yuan, I heard this Young Master Mei say on the way just now that you are the two sons of the Zhang family, what we said yesterday and the notes are still there, don't call me Boss Hu in the future, call me Shopkeeper Hu." You are the big boss, I will listen to you what you say and do what you want, and there are no complaints. ”
Zhang Yuan deliberately called Boss Hu before, meaning to see if Hu Fatzi was a person who unloaded the grind and killed the donkey, but now it seems that he is indeed a loyal person, he nodded with satisfaction, took out three silver tickets of one hundred taels from his arms, took out two and gave them to Hu Fatzi, and one to Zhang Mei,
"Shopkeeper Hu, one hundred taels of these two hundred taels is the money I promised you yesterday to buy Chunfeng Building, and the other one hundred taels I gave you is for you to prepare for the official opening. Now let me talk about the division of labor.
The signboard of Chunfeng Building can not be used, after all, the whole county is here to see what happened before, you go to be responsible for finding someone to make a new plaque, I have already thought of the name, it is called Zuixiao Pavilion, and find a group of people to come, I want to redesign the various layouts in the restaurant.
Zhang Mei, the things I gave you instructions are relatively simple and more suitable for you, you know a lot of fox friends and dog friends, you are responsible for eating, drinking and having fun with them these days, whether you have money or no money, you are called to play together, you have a treat, remember that this is not for nothing, don't feel sorry for money, the main purpose is to let you mention to them about the reopening here, the specific method you should have in your own heart I won't say much.
Finally, don't worry about money, if it's not enough, tell me again. ”
After all the arrangements were ordered, Zhang Yuan took a deep breath, it feels so cool to have money, and he can spend it as much as he wants, before Zhang Yuan was still thinking about what to do after the young master Qi in the capital five hundred taels was still worried about money, but now that he has a small treasury, money is just a number for him.
If Zhang Mei and Hu Fatzi felt about Zhang Yuan before, one had to obey those who still owed him money, and the other had to obey those who had already made a note. They are all passive, but now they are completely convinced of Zhang Yuan, one is the motivation of money, and the other is because Zhang Yuan is clearly organized, speaking and acting clearly from beginning to end, and thinking clearly, not at all like a sixteen-year-old boy.
The two of them took the silver ticket and said hello to Zhang Yuan, and then left, ready to start work.
Naturally, he won't stay here and really be the shopkeeper, now that he has money, he needs to do more, and the dream he had that day gave him a lot of motivation, and one day he will dare to talk about business with the emperor like in a dream.
