Chapter 126: Clues
Chapter 126
Song Nan is about to launch a counterattack, like countless business battles in later generations, Song Nan has always been unrelenting in this kind of battle, not to mention facing an opponent who wants his own life, and natural means must be more intense.
No one wants to tear their faces with Dongchang, but since they have chosen a side to start a war, Song Nan no longer has any worries, compared to Mu Bin's gains and losses, Song Nan's burden is smaller, and he has lost less, so he is more careless. And Song Nan also has an advantage that he knows who is the one who did it, compared to the needle in a haystack that the Jinyi Wei Yamen made some time ago, Song Nan's secret purposeful investigation is more effective.
The breakthrough point is in the Four Seas Restaurant, Song Nan is not stupid enough to use the back he recognized before being poisoned as a reason to go directly to Luo Fang's bad luck, although it is life and death, Shun Teng will get the ironclad evidence to defeat the enemy and not hurt himself, and the fight to the death is meaningless.
Although the Sihai Restaurant in Mao'er Hutong has reopened, but there are few customers, after this turmoil, who wants to dine in this place of right and wrong again? Shopkeeper Xu forced himself to prop up the storefront, and he also knew in his heart that this restaurant would not be open for long.
At noon on this day, the shopkeeper Xu was sitting behind the counter with his cheeks on his cheeks and a sad face, and the two guys were also sitting bored in a corner dozing, the light and shadow at the door were dimmed, and four or five people came in Hulala. Shopkeeper Xu was overjoyed, and when he saw the appearance of the person who came, his heart suddenly felt cold, and his hands and feet were not good, it was Song Nan and several subordinates who came to the flag school.
"Song ...... Song Qianhu, why are you here? Shopkeeper Xu stammered.
"What, aren't you welcome?" Song Nan smiled and found a place to sit down, and the flag schools also found a place to sit down.
"Welcome, welcome, how can Song Qianhu not be welcome, you are in good health?"
Song Nan patted his chest and said: "I am the immortal body of King Kong, how can a little trick kill me, and now I am as strong as a cow." ”
Shopkeeper Xu smiled and said: "That's good, that's good, otherwise the old man won't be at ease in this life, hey, the old man didn't check for a while, he taught the bad guys to get in, and almost gave Song Qianhu's life, sin, sin." ”
Song Nan waved his hand and said: "Don't take it to heart, this matter has nothing to do with you, it was the enemy who deliberately poisoned it, and I didn't do anything about your restaurant, besides, you were caught in the yamen and suffered a lot, I was poisoned and unconscious at the time, otherwise I would not have allowed them to do this." ”
Shopkeeper Xu's eyes suddenly turned red, thinking of the suffering suffered by the yamen of the Jinyi Wei Qianhu in the past few days, the grievances in his heart could not be himself, but fortunately he could still come out of his whole body, and it could be regarded as burning high incense in front of the Bodhisattva.
A handsome brocade-clothed Weiqi who was sitting at Song Nan's table said, "You shopkeeper, what are you crying about?" We are here to eat, but we are not here to see you shed tears, to say unlucky, my Song Qianhu is more unlucky than you, came to your restaurant to eat a fish and almost died, he didn't cry, you cried. ”
Shopkeeper Xu hurriedly wiped away his tears and arched his hand and said: "Yes, the little old man is out of shape, I hope to pray for forgiveness, what will I eat today?" ”
Song Nan said: "Is there a big carp in the Yellow River? Give me a few more, and I won't believe it, and I can't eat it. ”
Shopkeeper Xu said repeatedly: "Yes, there are just three of them because there are no diners to use them, and they are all kept in the water tank, and they are fresh and fresh, that is, they are thin." ”
Song Nan waved his hand and said: "It's okay, the old rules, one fish, one dish, plus a bowl of rice wine; It's the same on their table, add two more dishes to them, and there are more people there. ”
Shopkeeper Xu agreed repeatedly, and instructed the kitchen to cook it quickly, and after a while, the dishes came up, Song Nan stretched out his chopsticks and took a piece of fish meat and sent it to his mouth, and frowned after tasting it.
"What's wrong? Something unusual? Spit it out. The fair-faced flag school beside him hurriedly said.
This flag school is played by Ye Fanggu, since Song Nan recovered, Ye Fanggu said that she would protect Song Nan with her, no matter what she said, Song Nan had to get a set of clothes for her to change into and take with her.
"It's nothing, it's just not as delicious as it used to be." Song Nan chewed and frowned, and said to the shopkeeper Xu who was standing aside: "The cook in your back kitchen has changed?" The fish is still a big carp of the Yellow River, but the practice has changed, and it is not a taste to eat. ”
Shopkeeper Xu apologized repeatedly: "I'm really sorry, I taught Song Qianhu to eat it, hey, I can't help it, after this incident, my Sihai Restaurant is full of birds, and in three days, Song Qianhu and your group of guests came; The original cook saw that I had no future in this restaurant, and was worried that I would not even be able to pay my salary, so he rolled up and left. ”
Song Nan nodded and said: "I see, I think your restaurant is indeed unsustainable, it is better to have a long pain than a short pain, give up." ”
Shopkeeper Xu said: "It's easy to close the door, but how to feed the family?" And a few guys in this store, aren't they all going to run out of food, hey...... I'm so worried. ”
Song Nan thought for a while and said: "If you don't dislike it, there is a shortage of shopkeepers and manpower in my shop, so I closed the shop and came to work in my shop, and a few young men also brought it together, anyway, there are a lot of people who are missing." ”
Shopkeeper Xu hurriedly said: "How can this be made?" Isn't this a burden to Song Qianhu? ”
Song Nan said: "It's not a burden, I also need a shopkeeper like you in my shop, and the Sihai Restaurant has become like this, it is also related to me, you think about it, if you are interested, you can go to the fork street Yipin duck shop to find the shopkeeper of Wei, and he will naturally report it to me." ”
Shopkeeper Xu exclaimed: "It turns out that the most popular first-class duck turned out to be ......"
Song Nan smiled and said: "Yes, it is my private property, so I can come to me at any time if I think about it." ”
The shopkeeper Xu nodded again and again, there were already seven or eight points of willingness in his heart, the restaurant was also rented, and now there are no guests to dine, and he can't hold on at all, and he will not only make nothing but lose a few taels of silver when he opens the door for a day, and the more he opens, the more he loses money, and sooner or later it will be difficult to continue, Song Nan just didn't say it, he also had the idea of closing the door.
Ye Fanggu on the side secretly snickered, just like that, she dug up the whole set of teams of Sihai Restaurant, Song Nan is really good at exploiting loopholes, Xu Shopkeeper is old and sophisticated, it is very suitable to be the shopkeeper, and it feels as if Song Nan gave them charity, and they also sold favors, killing two birds with one stone.
Song Nan drank a few sips of rice wine, ate a few chopsticks dishes, cut to the chase, and asked, "Shopkeeper Xu, on the day of the incident, how did you invite those two people into the store to be temporary buddies?" Don't you have enough men? ”
Shopkeeper Xu pointed to the two young men standing at the counter and gritted his teeth and said: "It's not these two fools, Qi Qi had an accident that morning and released the pigeons, I saw that I was about to go to the guest but no one ran to greet him, so I temporarily caught two guys who came to the door to find a short-term job to help, who would have thought, it turned out to be a thief." ”
Song Nan beckoned two guys to come to him and asked, "What happened to the two of you that day?" ”
The two guys told Song Nan what happened, and Song Nan thought for a while and said, "Why don't you call someone to come to the restaurant to take leave?" ”
Shopkeeper Sun Xiaoer said: "The villain was injured on the way home the first night, I thought it was just a flesh injury, thinking that I could come to work the next morning, but I came to the old high with swollen joints overnight, and I couldn't climb up, and there was only a seventy-year-old mother at home, and she didn't know the way to the restaurant, so she couldn't come to take leave." ”
Song Nan nodded and said, "I see, have you ever seen the people who attacked you at night?" ”
Sun Xiaoer shook his head and said: "I can't see the black light at all, I walked to the mouth of the alley and there was a brick behind me, and when I was dizzy, I was surrounded by several people and beaten, I could only hold my head and be beaten, where can I still see people." ”
Song Nan waved his hand and told him to step down, and asked another guy, the guy's name was Liu Fu, he was blocked in the yard and beaten up when he got up early the next morning to get ready to go to work.
"Why don't you call someone to take leave?" Song Nan asked.
"The villain lived alone, and that day he broke two ribs, and he was beaten with a few sticks on his legs, and even the door of his house was climbed in, and he couldn't come to take leave; If it weren't for the shopkeeper who sent someone to find me at home and call Lang Zhong for me, I am afraid that no one would know that I would die at home. ”
"I see, you were attacked early in the morning, have you ever seen the faces of those people?"
"Those people are wearing face masks, looking scary tight, and they can't help but say that they are fighting, and the villain doesn't know who they are, and insists that I owe them gambling debts...... It's really unlucky. ”
Song Nan thought for a while and said, "Shopkeeper Xu, after dinner, I plan to ask these two little brothers to take us to the place where we are fighting, I wonder if Lu Dao will affect your business?" ”
Shopkeeper Xu hurriedly said: "Song Qianhu can naturally speak, anyway, there are no guests, where is the business; I don't plan to open the door tomorrow, so I will go to Song Qianhu's shop to have a look after settling the house payment. ”
Song Nan smiled and said: "Okay, then thank you, you two guys don't have to worry about their livelihood, follow Shopkeeper Xu to my shop as a buddy, and the salary of two taels of silver per month is higher than you here." ”
The two guys were overjoyed, nodded their heads in agreement, they also knew that the restaurant was unsustainable, and they were worried that they had nowhere to make a living.
