In the Broken Alley.

Li Mengzhou had just walked out of the courtyard gate, but a sedan chair came slowly, and when the sedan chair stopped, the curtain was lifted, and Tong Xin, who had a beautiful face and figure, walked down from the carriage.

Because the weather is still not too cool, Tong Xin's clothes are also a little light, but the places that cannot be exposed are not exposed, but there is a sense of charm.

Li Mengzhou is also a person who has seen strong winds and waves, and he only glanced at this, then looked at Tong Xin very calmly and said, "Tong Lu is not here. ”

Tong Xin smiled and said, "I'm not here to find my brother, he's at home now." ”

Li Mengzhou frowned slightly and said, "Then who are you looking for?"

Tong Xin pursed her lips and said, "Looking for Li Gongzi." ”

Li Mengzhou was a little confused, but he quickly thought of something.

Tong Xin did come specifically to find Li Mengzhou, after learning that Tao Shi wanted to accept her as a concubine, she was willing to help the Tong family, Tong Xin was very ashamed, after all, Tao Shi was her father's friend, whether it was age and seniority, there was a big gap, Tao Shi's conditions were undoubtedly a humiliation to Tong Xin.

But the Tong family does need the support of external forces to keep the family business, and Li Mengzhou represents the Taiqing Building of the Ye clan, if it can be related to the Taiqing Building, even if the Ye family has no business in Baihong Town, but it is also the Tao family and the richest man Ma family can not be compared at all, if you can get Li Mengzhou's support, why care about a Tao Shi?

Although Tong Xin disdained to come to a dirty place like Broken Alley, for the sake of the Tong family, she could only come to Li Mengzhou in person.

Tong Xin can also be regarded as a sick doctor, Tao Shi still knows how to find out the authenticity of Li Mengzhou's identity, but Tong Xin can't care so much at all, she feels that she can fully prove Li Mengzhou's identity when she is in Taojia Winery, and she must not miss this opportunity.

And it just so happened that his younger brother Tong Lu often went to the broken alley to see the old man who was originally considered a beggar by Tong Xin, but Li Mengzhou was the younger generation of the old man, a relative, even if it was just a relative, but since Li Mengzhou was able to live in a place like Broken Alley to accompany him, if it weren't for Li Mengzhou's informality, he would also respect the old man very much.

This is all an opportunity to come to the door.

It's one thing for her to come to find Li Mengzhou in person, and she also arranged for her younger brother Tong Lu to send tea to the old man again, to build a good relationship, and both sides will be carried out at the same time, are you afraid that Li Mengzhou will not help the Tong family?

But what made her a little hateful was that Tong Lu actually disagreed, he felt that his relationship with the old man must not be related to this kind of interest, so it became that he had an attempt on the old man and said that he did not agree with anything.

There is really no way, Tong Xin can only leave it alone for the time being, and first establish a good relationship with Li Mengzhou.

Although Li Mengzhou didn't know the details inside, he could probably guess what Tong Xin was doing here, and his expression became quite meaningful.

He casually said a few perfunctory words, then sent Tong Xin away, thought seriously for a moment, and continued to walk towards the Taojia Winery.

......

At this time, Tao Shi was also facing a problem, the wine of Taojia Winery had problems again, and several guests in the restaurant drank the wine of Taojia Winery, and they foamed at the mouth and had convulsions all over their bodies.

What's even more troublesome is that those victims have also come out one after another, either blocking the restaurants where the accident occurred, or directly besieging the Tao Family Winery, and some people went directly to the town guard mansion to make noise, so that Tao Shi didn't have time to react at all, and the matter became bigger as soon as possible.

Even if Tao Shi started to suppress this matter at the first time, and even reluctantly sent silver to the town guard mansion, but because there were too many noisy people, they were all denouncing the Tao family winery, and the town guard government had no way to calm the matter, so he didn't accept Tao Shi's silver at all, and soon sent the officials of the government to conduct a thorough investigation of the Tao family winery, and gave justice to the people of Baihong Town.

Nowadays, there is no need to go in the past, not only one restaurant that used the wine of the Tao family winery had an accident, but most of them had an accident, even if the town guard wanted to take the Tao family's silver, he could not do it perfunctory, so he could only try his best to investigate.

Compared with the town guard government that lost the hearts of the people, what is a mere Tao family.

When Li Mengzhou came to Taojia Winery, he found a spectacular scene.

In addition to the victims, there are also people who have nothing to do with it at all, who are purely joining in the fun, and there are also people who fight grievances, which makes the incident bigger and bigger.

There are even victims who have made trouble in this matter to the Yamen of the government in Dishui County, which is the closest to Baihong Town, and under the pressure from above, how dare the town guard of Baihong Town have a trace of slackness, so naturally they completely abandoned the Tao family, made every effort to investigate, and directly banned the Tao family winery and imprisoned Tao Shi.

Tao Shi, who was escorted by the official, was being reprimanded by the people, he was anxious and wanted to argue, but his voice couldn't suppress the angry people of Baihong Town, and he also knew that there was indeed a problem with his wine, after all, it was not the first time that something had happened, but this time it was so big, and he didn't expect it, he only felt a burst of despair in his heart.

He raised his head and saw Li Mengzhou in a trance, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly cried: "Li Gongzi, help!"

He didn't know what to do at all, he only thought that Li Mengzhou was from Taiqinglou, and he had to cooperate with their Tao family, thinking that if Taiqinglou could help suppress this matter, he still had a chance to live.

But he didn't expect that even if Taiqinglou intended to cooperate with Taojia Winery, but there was a problem with the wine of Taojia Winery, why was Taiqinglou willing to take care of him, it would be good if he didn't fall into the well, not to mention that Li Mengzhou's identity was still fake.

In fact, the sudden accident at Taojia Winery has something to do with Li Mengzhou.

He originally wanted to let those victims come forward to accuse the Tao Family Winery, and then he refused to cooperate with Tao Shi by taking advantage of the momentum of Taiqing Building, so that Tao Shi could only take the silver out, and it was a heavy hemorrhage, and then revealed his identity again, and left in a dashing manner, suffering such a big loss, which was enough for the Tao Family Winery to fall directly from the position of a wealthy merchant in Baihong Town.

But Li Mengzhou definitely didn't expect that the Tao family winery happened to have an accident, combined with the victims he arranged in advance, so that the direction of the wind completely changed, this is not just to let Tao Shi take out half of the family property in exchange for cooperating with Taiqing Lou, but directly bulldozed the Tao family.

Although the result was beyond Li Mengzhou's plan, it was also Tao Shi's own fault, knowing that there was a problem with the wine, but he still did not repent, and did not take the safety of the drinkers seriously, Li Mengzhou naturally didn't bother to pay attention to it, although in this way, he couldn't 'rob the rich and help the poor' from Tao Shi's hands, but for him, it was nothing.

The money given to Zhao Sandao has already been paid, and the rest is nothing more than the question of the travel fee, so he can naturally think of other ways.

In the face of Tao Shi's heart-rending plea for help, Li Mengzhou's face was indifferent, and he didn't have the heart to directly reveal the fact that he had nothing to do with Taiqinglou here, after all, he was guilty of fraudulently obtaining money by impersonating his identity, and Li Mengzhou would not be stupid enough to directly hit the knife edge of the town guard yamen.

And Tao Shi, who didn't know that Li Mengzhou's identity was fake, naturally couldn't ignite the fire on Li Mengzhou's head, because he himself knew very well that if the Ye clan was involved, he was afraid that he would die even worse.

didn't care about this matter anymore, Li Mengzhou turned around and left directly.

Tao Shi was arrested and imprisoned, and the victimized people naturally had to be compensated, and the Tao family's property had to be confiscated, which can be said to be a happy result.

This turmoil has still swept in Baihong Town for a long time, even if the matter has passed, it has become a topic of conversation among the people after dinner, and only after a long time will it be gradually forgotten.

The property of the Tao family needs to be confiscated, and the property of the Tao family will be auctioned to let those rich businessmen in Baihong Town rob it, and the richest man Ma family is naturally like a thunderbolt, directly covering most of the Tao family's property, and the rest will be divided by other merchants, even the Tong family has also obtained some small profits.

Baihong Town has lost one of the top wine merchants like Taojia Winery, and the business of the restaurant has become an object that other wine merchants need to compete for, and the Ma family has also shifted their attention to the tea art business to the winery, and there is obviously no time to pay attention to the tea art in a short time, which gives the Tong family a chance to breathe.

But what Li Mengzhou didn't expect was that because his identity was not revealed, there would be follow-up events.

One evening, Tong Lu came to Broken Alley.

Li Mengzhou and the others had just prepared dinner when they saw Tong Lu carrying a few boxes of tea stepping into the door.

The lonely mountain guest waved his hand and asked Tong Lu to sit down to eat.

Although Tong Lu was a little embarrassed, he did not refuse.

Although the Tong family is barely able to survive at present, it is not a simple matter to regain the family business in the past.

Fortunately, Tong Lu also began to learn how to do business seriously, as long as the Ma family will not beat the Tong family to death with a stick, at least the Tong family will not be desperate even if the business will plummet.

And now the Ma family has no time to compete with the Tong family for business.

Tong Lu has rarely come to Broken Alley recently because of family matters, and because Li Mengzhou was busy forging swords and earning silver, he and Tong Lu had not met a few times, but because Xiao Zhinan had been staying in Broken Alley, Tong Lu was relatively familiar with her.

At this time, Tong Lu was sitting opposite Xiao Zhinan, he was quite shy, and he only dared to put his eyes on the body of the lonely mountain guest, and occasionally subconsciously caught a glimpse of Xiao Zhinan sitting opposite, as if he was frightened, he quickly looked away.

This made Xiao Zhinan, who noticed this scene, a little puzzled, she turned her eyes to look at Li Mengzhou, thinking about what he had been busy with recently, and asked, "You are a sword cultivator, why do you have to forge a sword?"

Although Li Mengzhou was busy with this matter when he first arrived in Baihong Town, Xiao Zhinan really didn't ask seriously, and suddenly remembered it at this time, so he asked.

After all, a sword cultivator is holding a knife, which is really a strange picture.
