Chapter 20: Tofu Shih Tzu

At noon here, Shen Yan picked up his rice bowl and looked at the 'tofu banquet' on the table, a little dazed, because the three dishes and one soup on it were mapo tofu, shallots mixed with tofu, stir-fried tofu with meat and jade tofu soup.

He picked up his chopsticks and swallowed, not knowing which dish to start with for a moment. Looking at his father Shen Cong'an again, his expression at this time was even more terrifying, and his always meticulous face showed a strange smile on the table full of tofu.

Shen Yan couldn't help but fall into deep thought, could it be that he had made some mistake recently, this table full of tofu was a hint given by his father? So he asked a little tentatively: "Dad, what kind of case has so much tofu been solved, and others have no money to use tofu to pay off our debts?"

Shen Cong'an's face instantly fell when he heard his words, and he only said in a sullen voice: "It's nothing, it's just that I came across a tofu shop by chance, and I bought more of the tofu when I saw that the tofu was very good, so let's eat it!"

Shen Yan listened to it in disbelief, lowered his head and breathed a long sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't his own problem, he relaxed and devoured it.

On weekdays, Shen Cong'an's habit has always been to take a lunch break after dinner, but today he somehow went out sneakily. Moreover, he went out alone, and he didn't even bring a single servant, and there didn't seem to be any big cases that needed him to come forward in person recently! The more Shen Yan thought about it, the more strange it became, so he secretly followed behind to see what his father was up to.

At first, he didn't see anything unusual, and Shen Cong'an only chatted with the roadside vendors on a routine basis along the way, asking about the recent security situation on the street. But when he was about to walk to a tofu stall, he suddenly began to organize his clothes and comb his hair, and then a gentle smile suddenly appeared on his face.

Shen Yan's heart was a little hairy when he saw this move, is this still his always majestic father?

But soon he understood, the tofu stall owner heard Shen Cong'an's greeting and slowly turned his head, even if he was dressed in coarse cloth, he couldn't hide the woman's appearance. She is not the kind of beautiful posture that captivates the country and the city, but she is elegant and dignified in her gestures. It happened that a breeze was blowing the hair in her ears, and she raised her hand to gently touch the back of her ear, which showed a hint of charm in her maturity.

No wonder, no wonder the tofu that filled the table at noon turned out to take care of other people's business, but this drunkard meant ...... It doesn't seem to be drinking!

Shen Yan was secretly watching on the edge of the fan stall, and suddenly a big face came to his eyes, which frightened him.

"Young Master Shen, why are you looking so seriously?"

Zhou Yonghan smiled and looked at him, fortunately, there were many people coming and going at this time, and he didn't notice Shen Cong'an at the tofu stall.

"Nothing...... It's just that it's hot and stuffy, and I've been walking for a while!"

Shen Yan picked up the fan on the stall and fanned it vigorously, trying to calm the turmoil in his heart, he accidentally discovered a big secret!

Zhou Yong nodded solemnly, picked up a fan on the stall and fanned it vigorously, and sighed: "It's really a little hot today, I've been sweating not long after I just came out!"

Shen Yan was sure that he had successfully attracted his attention, so he asked, "By the way, why are you here, I remember that this street is not in the range of your patrol?"

Zhou Yong thought about it, and immediately slapped his head with a fan.

"Oops~ You don't say I forgot, I'm going to Shangshu Mansion to find our boss, and I haven't seen him for a few days!"

Shen Yan pondered for a moment, he took Zhao Wuwu out of the wall yesterday without permission, maybe he should be punished more heavily. If this is to let his subordinates know how shameless it is, after all, he was lazy and was punished for kneeling in the courtyard in the past, so that the brothers around him would be about to lose their faces when they saw it!

"Oh, he's fine, it's just that he may be a little busy these two days, so he can't drag himself back to your Xiping Mansion!

Zhou Yong immediately waved his hand and said with a smile: "Then you still don't know our boss too well, there is nothing important in his mind than the case." Besides, now the government has taken over the above task, saying that there is a plague in a village outside the city, and several people have died! But because the dead were all young and vigorous men, it cannot be ruled out that it was a homicide, and we are told to send someone to investigate it quickly. ”

"Then you should go and investigate first, after all, the matter at hand is much more important than the case......!" He was arranged by the family to have a family affair, do you say that you can bear to disturb other people's eyes? You will take someone to investigate first, and if it is really a murder, it will not be too late to come back to him, right?"

Shen Yan racked his brains and finished speaking, such a subtle reason even he almost believed it, if Zhou Yong was not fooled, then he would really be powerless, but he overestimated Zhou Yong's brain too much.

I saw Zhou Yong holding his chin with one hand and thinking seriously for a long time, and suddenly nodded very firmly, he patted Shen Yan's shoulder and said: "It's still Shen Gongzi's thoughtfulness, if I go to disturb him now, in case this family affair is disturbed, it will ruin the happiness of our boss's life." I'm going to go back and gather the men, go out of the city to investigate first, and then come back to report to our boss!"

Zhou Yong turned around and was about to leave after saying it indignantly, but suddenly turned around and put down the fan, and gave Shen Yan a salute with his fists.

"Thank you Shen Gongzi for your guidance and farewell!"

Looking at Zhou Yong's resolute departure, he didn't know what to say for a while. When he turned his head to take a look, he found that his father had bought a few more pieces of tofu at this time, and couldn't help sighing: It seems that tonight's supper is destined to be tofu on the table again!
