Volume 1 Chapter 256 Murder
"Don't worry, she won't be so calm in a while."
He Yansan naturally noticed her face, there was a big surprise waiting for this Wenle County Lord in the restaurant.
He Yansan's words were all conveyed to Xu Yunjin by Xiao Yi, but she had already guessed what would happen next.
Xu Yunjin has been chatting with those aunts at the door, giving enough time for the people inside to act, and waited until Xiaoyi sent the news before saying goodbye to a few aunts.
When he entered the door, Pei Ran moved from Xu Yunjin's side to Han Shaozhi's side, making him feel his heart pounding.
"County Lord, the person you made an appointment with is in the private room upstairs."
Jiang Baiyu and Xu Yunjin's plan hadn't had time to tell Han Bei yet, but someone told him after a while that an old man like him must know how to cooperate in order to be most beneficial to the current situation.
The other party should have invited a lot of people for today, and the business of Yuefu Restaurant this morning was not ordinarily good, and the people who were eating in the hall were looking at Xu Yunjin and a few people as if they were nothing.
Shang Wuwu and Zeng Yiqian got the news early in the morning and were waiting for them inside, after greeting each other, Han Shaozhi was about to take a few people upstairs to enter the private room, and Kang Lian came back with his stomach in his hands, his face was even more ugly than just now.
"What's wrong with you, Steward Kang? I don't think you're feeling well?"
Han Shaozhi asked suspiciously, what kind of person is Kang Lian, he knows very well that this is the first time he has seen him so rude.
Xu Yunjin, Kang Lian, Fan Yuanqiao, Xu Yunnan: You asked this question well and wonderfully, and the four of them praised Han Shaozhi at the same time in their hearts.
"Hehehe, it should be that I have eaten bad stomach in the past two days, so that Han Gongzi can see the joke."
Han Shaozhi waved his hand to say that it didn't matter, and he also cared about Kang Lian, but Xu Yunjin on the side was uncharacteristically angry.
"Steward Kang made such a big mistake, and he can still eat, too, it is me who spilled a lot of money today, not you."
As soon as Xu Yunjin's voice fell, the hall of the restaurant fell silent, and everyone looked different, Zeng Yiqian was even more incredulous, the originally kind and righteous Lord Wenle would say such a thing.
Shang Wuwu glanced at Xu Yunjin, and couldn't help but wonder which one he was singing today.
Pei Ran didn't react and played with his fingers, and Han Shaozhi frowned slightly when he raised his head again.
Kang Lian's face turned pale when he heard this, and he was about to fall down without standing up, but he was hurriedly supported by Fan Yuanqiao on the side.
"Boss, even if Steward Kang made a big mistake, but in the past few years, there has been hard work without credit for following you, how can you..."
Fan Yuanqiao asked indignantly, Xu Yunjin was also angry when he heard this, and began to get angry at him:
"Steward Fan, does this mean that the lord of this county has treated you badly? I paid you for your wages, and you worked hard for me, and you made me lose so much money, and if I had been put in another house, I am afraid that you would have broken your legs and feet and thrown out."
Xu Yunjin's words were really ugly, and Han Shaozhi, who hadn't reacted yet, couldn't help but pull down her sleeve.
"Ah Jin, you can't say that, it's not their fault after all."
Maybe it was Han Shaozhi's persuasion that worked, her expression eased a little, and she took the lead upstairs.
The hall was still very quiet, Han Bei frowned as he looked at Xu Yunjin's back, and suddenly a guest passed by him and whispered:
"Cooperate with Lord Wenle and tear your face with the Xu family."
Han Bei was really an old man, and when he heard this, he didn't show the slightest abnormality, but raised a smile and said, "The guest officer walks slowly."
Then he casually walked around as usual, and then returned to the backyard, and was about to call his own nephew, when a man in black appeared in front of him.
After a while, a carriage drove out of the back door of the Yuefu Restaurant, and the people who were still guarding outside saw with their own eyes that the person driving the car was wearing the clothes of the guys at the Yuefu Restaurant.
The breeze lifted the curtains, and they saw the face of the man inside, who was the man guarding the door.
When the group arrived at the private room booked upstairs, a total of eight partners were there
Waiting in the private room, only the mysterious merchant was not there.
A group of people entered the room together, and the private room, which was originally quite large, suddenly became crowded, Han Shaozhi asked people to bring chairs, and the rest of the people sat on the side.
"The grass people have seen the county lord." The eight of them saluted Xu Yunjin in unison.
"You don't need to be polite, because of our mistakes, we have delayed your time to do business, and I am here to make amends to you with tea instead of wine.
This is my eldest brother, the owner of the Xu family's official kiln, and he will take care of the drinking."
Xu Yunjin happily picked up the teacup and drank it all, and Xu Yunnan also raised the wine glass and toasted a few people.
The eight of them were still a little scared, after all, the current status of the Xu family was not something they could get, and this legendary Wenle County Lord was also the first time they had seen it, so they didn't expect it to look so easy to talk to.
"The county lord is polite, in fact, we are just doing a small business, and this money is really not enough to turn over, so we can't wait for the dyeing workshop to reopen."
A cloth village boss said to Xu Yunjin very embarrassed, and the rest of the people also nodded their heads to express their embarrassment.
"We are all businessmen, and I understand that, and I hope that we can work together again next time."
Xu Yunjin said that we are all businessmen, and we immediately pulled into the relationship with the eight people, and then it was the time for everyone to exchange business experience.
It wasn't until the water in the teapot was empty that Xu Yunjin remembered and asked:
"Steward Kang, didn't you say there was another guest? Why haven't you seen it all this time?"
"This subordinate doesn't know, that person hasn't appeared in the past few days, and the subordinate has asked the yacha to look for it, but he can't find anyone there..."
Before Kang Lian finished speaking, a piercing scream came from outside:
"Someone, murder, report quickly."
When the people heard the voice, they all hurried out.
Xu Yunjin's heart: Is the show finally going to be staged?
When a few people came out, the entourage had already moved the body to the hall despite everyone's resistance, and the people who had come to eat surrounded it tightly.
When Xu Yunjin and the others came down, they just got out of the way.
Seeing the man lying on the ground and the young entourage crying bitterly on the side, Kang Lian and Fan Yuanqiao turned pale at the right time, and buried their heads as if they were thieves.
"What's going on?" Xu Yunjin looked at the entourage on the ground and asked.
The attendant looked up at her, his eyes red.
It made her wonder: how many onions, ginger, and garlic would have to be smoked like this?
"Our lord has been murdered, woo woo, lord, open your eyes and tell the little one who killed you? Could it be that the black-hearted Xu family didn't want to compensate you, so they hurt you?"
The attendant's words made the hall fall silent, and they all speculated whether this person was the "wealthy merchant" who was about to receive a huge compensation of 400,000 taels.
Han Shaozhi is a violent temper, so naturally he can't listen to anyone's slander of the Xu family, and God assists again:
"Hey, you can eat indiscriminately, you can't talk nonsense, how can the Xu family harm people's lives?"
When the entourage heard this, he opened his swollen eyes, and when he saw Kang Lian and Fan Yuanqiao, he suddenly shouted:
"It's them, it must be them, the steward of the Xu family's wine shop and dyeing shop, who came to see our master a few days ago.
He threatened to let us take 100,000 taels of principal and leave, otherwise we would look good, but our lord took out all his life savings to pay the deposit this time.
After a long delay here, the lord naturally didn't want to lose money, so he took me to hide in Tibet, and today I originally wanted to leave quickly after taking the money in Yuefu Restaurant, but...
I just went out to buy something for my lord and came back to be killed by my lord, isn't it you or who? Just because their proprietor is the famous Lord of Wenle can't kill good people at will."
The words of the entourage revealed too much information, and everyone looked at the Xu family and the group whispering.
Xu Yunjin's brothers and sisters' faces were very ugly, Zeng Yiqian's face was worried, but Shang Wuwu's eyes flashed with interest.
The other party's plan is very good, if there is evidence to prove that it was the Xu family who sent someone to do it, even if the Xu family launched a scapegoat, the reputation would be greatly damaged. c
If there is no evidence, it is the worst, and the things that have not been concluded since ancient times are the most infinitely reverie, as long as someone is secretly inciting people's hearts, the reputation of the Xu family will plummet.
In the past few years of the Xu family's fortune, the most respected is the character and righteousness of the Xu family, and I don't know who came up with this plan, no matter what, the Xu family is the one who is behind the blame, and this person makes him very interested.
"Put your mother's bullshit, the Xu family has never found out where you are hiding, and even reported to the official, I'm afraid you didn't come out to deceive people, right?"
I have to say that Han Shaozhi guessed correctly again, Xu Yunjin gave him more praise today than in the past few years.
It's just that as soon as his voice fell, he was slapped in the face, because the yacha came, and the person who led the team, Xu Yunjin, knew that it was Jiang Baiyu who came to Yongding County and picked up the head catcher - Qin catcher.
"The lower official has seen the county lord."
Qin Zhutou glanced at the corpse on the ground and saluted Xu Yunjin first.
"It's been a long time since I saw Qin Zhutou."
Xu Yunjin returned the salute, and the eyes of the two sides did not meet, just like an ordinary greeting.
"What's going on?"
Qin Zhutou looked at the corpse on the ground and asked the entourage on the side.
"My lord, please be the master of our family, our lord has ordered a batch of goods at the Wenle County Lord's house, and all his net worth is pressed on this.
But if something happened to their Xu family, they didn't want to compensate, and even our deposit wanted to give us a deposit, our lord didn't agree, and he was afraid of the power of the Xu family, so he had to hide in Tibet and wait until today to come to the restaurant to get the money and leave, who knew that he lost his life.
Our lord has been kind all his life, and he died in Yongding County only half a month, and the little one will go home to explain to the other masters in the family, and ask the adults to make decisions for my lord."
The entourage was saying that the Xu family had borrowed the power of Lord Wenle and wanted to oppress them, ordinary people.
When the guests heard this, their eyes involuntarily looked at Xu Yunjin, only to see her righteous face, and they did not panic at all because of this accusation.
Qin Zhutou frowned when he heard this, looked at Xu Yunjin, and saw that she was expressionless, as if she regarded the words of her entourage as a fart, so she had to look at the work on the ground again.
