Chapter 98: Arson in the middle of the night
Shopkeeper Lu hurriedly counted the forces behind Yang Mu.
"This village girl doesn't know what to do, when it opened this morning, all the stars gathered! President Jin's daughter, Hangxian Ling's daughter, and even Wang Daru all came to cheer her up. And those guards next to him are obviously bandits from Cockscomb Mountain! ”
Shopkeeper Lu still feels palpitations when he talks about this, why does he think that this matter is impossible?
If he knew, in those crowds, there were also the eldest prince of Lin'an County and the prince of Dingwangfu, he was afraid that he would be scared to pee.
In their small Baiyun County, the most noble thing is the county order, where have you ever seen such a big man?
Miao Jun smiled cynically and said, "I'm here to inspect the store this time, and I didn't bring many people." Since we can't come to the light, then let's come to the dark. Find two people tonight and set fire to that Wanxiangfang. And what kind of little village girl, just slaughter it with a knife. ”
He raised his voice and called for someone, and the guards hurried in.
Miao Jun asked: "When you found a little village girl and left her alone, you killed her with a knife." Do it cleanly, don't let anyone find out about us. ”
Shopkeeper Lu hurriedly reminded: "That village girl knows kung fu!" ”
Miao Jun sneered, "What's wrong with kung fu?" My guard is a master of the seventh-grade qi cultivation realm, is it possible that he can't beat a small village girl? ”
A village girl who dares to name her shop "Wanxiangfang" is a capital offense in itself.
After a pause, Miao Jun showed a malicious smile and asked the shopkeeper Lu, "How does the little village girl look?" ”
Shopkeeper Lu showed a smile that all men understand, and said, "He looks very smart, and his figure is also delicate and cute." ”
Miao Jun laughed and said to the guard: "You don't have to kill it, bring it back, I'll have fun." ”
The shopkeeper Lu showed a cruel smile, little village girl, you provoked our Yixiangfang first, don't blame our owner for destroying flowers!
……
Here, Yang Mu is very busy, the business is too good, she spends most of her time in the stove room.
Fortunately, Wang Daru and the others were entertained by Lin Xiao, so she was saved from running at both ends.
I don't know what's going on, Wang Daru's matter in Wanxiangfang spread, and some scholars came to see it, and they also lined up outside the store, hoping to see Wang Daru.
As a result, there was a strange scene outside Wanxiangfang, where a group of Confucian students lined up to buy pastries.
Those who don't know think that this is the Gongyuan, and the students are going to take exams.
Today was too busy, Yang Mu didn't have time to make lunch, so he asked Fang Fugui, who was wearing dart clothes, to buy some lunch and come back.
Everyone gathered in the backyard to eat some, and Wang Daru and the others took their leave.
Wang Daru was going to Baiyun Academy in the afternoon to invite him to give a lecture, and Su Jinyu also said goodbye and left.
Wanxiangfang waited until nightfall, when the pastries in the store were out of sale, and then the door was opened.
Yang Mu sat behind the counter and happily settled the accounts.
When the new store opened, all pastries were discounted by 20%, and the gross income was more than 30 taels of silver, excluding the cost and labor costs, at least half of which was earned.
Lin Xiao sat on the table next to him, looked at the little girl's greedy eyes for money, and said to Lu Shan beside him: "You are guarding the store tonight to prevent trouble in Yixiangfang." ”
Lu Shan asked, "Then, can I bring my brother to the store to accompany me?" ”
Lin Xiao was surprised: "You still have a brother in Baiyun County?" ”
Lu Shan nodded seriously and said, "Yes!" The surname is black, the name is big, the word is one ear, and the number is the iron general! ”
Lin Xiao: "......"
I suspect you're playing tricks on me, but I have no proof.
As night fell, the lively South Street had fallen asleep during the day.
The two figures dressed in black merged with the night, sneakily approaching Wanxiangfang, which had just opened today.
Smelling the smell of cake wafting from inside, the two swallowed their saliva together.
No wonder the shopkeeper wants to burn this shop, who can withstand this fragrance?
After a long time, where is there still a Xiangfang to buy and sell?
The two glanced at each other, and one of them carried a fire oil and splashed it at the door of Wanxiangfang.
The two who worked hard did not notice that a group of people was coming in this direction.
After Wang Daru finished his lecture today, he was forced to drink by the dean of Baiyun Academy, and now he has just left.
Wang Daru frowned and sniffed, burped, and asked, "Have you smelled the smell of fire oil?" ”
Su Jinyu on the side was also a little drunk, and she was a little dizzy when she was supported by the little girl.
He sniffed with a red face and nodded seriously, "I smell it!" ”
Two seconds later, the two of them were so shocked by the smell that they didn't want to drink at all.
Wang Daru squinted his eyes at the two black shadows pouting at the door of Wanxiangfang and pouring fire oil, and shouted: "Bah! Who are you? ”
This was the first time the two black shadows had done this kind of thing, and they were so frightened by Wang Daru that they almost peed their pants, hurriedly threw away the oil barrel, and ran away without looking back.
They didn't notice that a tall black shadow was following them.
Su Jinyu hurriedly asked the little servant to report to the official.
Not long after, Zhong Zhutou of the county government arrived with people, looking at the fire oil all over the ground, Zhong Zhutou had palpitations.
South Street is lined with shops, not far apart, and if it catches fire, the whole street will be burned.
When Zhong Zhutou came, Wang Daru and Su Jinyu had already knocked on the door to wake up Zhou Dazhuang and his wife.
The two hurriedly fetched water to clean the oil.
Zhong Zhutou was worried that bad people would retaliate against Su Jinyu and the others who reported to the official, so he sent both of them into the inn.
When Zhong Zhutou returned to the yamen, he found two hemp bags at the gate, and when they were opened, the people inside were revealed, and they turned out to be two men in black who had been beaten by fat.
The man in black had a distinct smell of fire oil on his body.
Needless to say, the arsonist was found.
At the same time, Lu Shan knocked on the door of Peach Blossom Lane.
The one who opened the door was wood dust.
Lu Shan looked at him with disgust, "In the middle of the night, what are you doing with a hat?" ”
Mu Chen's face was expressionless, "It's raining." ”
Lu Shan looked up at the sky, the thin drizzle, slanted down, she pouted, "Girls, this is also called rain?" ”
He was about to stride in, but Mu Chen took a step back and closed the door directly.
The door panel slapped directly on Lu Shan's face, and Lu Shan covered his bleeding nose and shouted: "Mu Chen, you open the door for Lao Tzu!" ”
There was a mournful voice from behind the door, "I can't find a girl to open the door for you." ”
Lu Shan choked and secretly scolded Muchen for being stingy.
Yang Mu was practicing martial arts in the backyard when he heard the noise in the front yard and came to open the door.
After the door opened, Lu Shan saw Yang Mu holding a bamboo stick in his hand, looking heroic, hehehehe, smiled, squeezed in sideways, glared at Mu Chen standing by the wall viciously, and muttered: "It's not as manly as Mrs. Shizi!" ”
Yang Mu, who heard this sentence in its entirety: "?!" ”
She looked at her figure, yes, developed!
So, where did the old lady give you such a wrong perception?
She was speechless and followed Lu Shan into the backyard, and then heard Lu Shan say to Lin Xiao: "The prince guessed well, and sure enough, someone came to the door of the shop in the middle of the night to set fire." ”
He told how the two of them poured fire oil and how they were discovered by Wang Daru, and then said: "I saw that the two grandsons ran away, so I chased them over, found a place where no one was around, interrogated them, and finally put them in a sack and threw them at the yamen." ”
Lin Xiao nodded and asked, "So, who sent them?" ”
Lu Shan snorted coldly: "Yixiangfang." The two grandsons said that the second master of the owner of Yixiangfang came today, and the method of setting the fire should have been ordered by the second master Miao. ”
Yang Mu was angry from the heart, Wanxiangfang was her hard work, and the shopkeeper Lu had troubled her several times, it seemed that just knocking out her teeth was not enough to deter that old turtle grandson!
She picked up a piece of bamboo standing by the wall and went out with a calm face.
