"That's right, boss. When the order was sent out, it was only a short period of time before it would be delivered. I weighed it with Lao Huang and the rest and then immediately left with Da Zhu to deliver the goods."
Su Zhi, however, could not be sure. She said, "Think carefully. Did something happen at some point? Can't look after it for a while."
At this point, Dazhu immediately exclaimed, "I remember now! Passing the ravine in front of them this morning, I ran into some soldiers. At the time, they were building planks, saying that it was just road surface water, and it was inconvenient for us to drive, so we had to go help, so that we could quickly pave the road for delivery. "
"Which direction? Go take a look immediately."
They rushed to the scene and saw that there was indeed a puddle on the dirt road. The water had already seeped into the ground, leaving only soft sticky soil. There were several wooden planks on it, with the marks of wheels and the footprints of pedestrians.
Su Zhi felt that something was amiss. These few days, the weather had been good and cool, with no rain. Where did the water come from?
Dazhu seemed to have thought of something and said uncertainly, "Those soldiers asked for our help, it was only for the blink of an eye."
What he was afraid of was that the blink of an eye was enough.
"Everyone, stop guessing. Look around and see if you can find any clues."
This place had a unique location. The entire path was a bit more remote here, and there was a ravine underneath the path. If it weren't for the sudden road construction in the west side of the city, there probably wouldn't be many people who would choose to walk this path.
It was inconvenient for Old Yellow to move while limping. It simply lay on the ground. It was buried under the ravine in search of its target. Its entire body was covered in mud.
Finally, not far away, he found a place with traces of soil refurbishment.
He ignored the mess and used his bare hands to dig through the sticky dirt to find the answer.
"Boss!" Come and take a look! "
When Su Zhi heard the commotion, she immediately went down the road to Lao Huang's position.
"Motherf * cker, the official is still so deceitful towards us!"
In the muddy pit he dug, it was filled with the gritty white rice of Yangcheng. The mystery was solved, and while bulls and pillars were busy setting up the board, the goods on the cart were all lost. After the two of them left, the soldiers buried the rice.
Dazhu looked at the rice buried in the mud with a pained expression, confused. "This …" What was this? Those people have no enmity with us, why would they do that? "
Ah Niu gritted his teeth in hatred, "Exactly, even if you did not take the things away, you would have just destroyed them on the spot. With such a clumsy method, you still won't find me to reason with!"
Su Zhi stared at the destroyed grain and couldn't help but sigh. She was afraid that the mastermind wasn't afraid of them causing trouble at all.
Old Yellow had no more ideas and looked at the silent woman, "Boss, what do you think?"
Su Zhi took a deep breath, and replied, "We can't sell the rice that's mixed in with the soil. We should just eat it ourselves."
"What?" Just like that? Boss, we can't accept this loss, how can we just let it go like this! We have to find that person! "
"That's right, Old Yellow is right!" Boss, with your order, even if Ah Niu and I have to risk our lives, we still have to go to the government to get an explanation! Is there still any law in the feet of the Son of Heaven? "
However, Su Zhi shook her head. Beneath the feet of the Son of Heaven, the dark waves were surging as danger lurked in every direction.
Since it was the Shangguan family that was causing trouble, that meant that the other party had quite a large force. Since they did not have enough evidence, there was nothing they could do about it.
"Don't worry, I will definitely investigate this matter to the end. However, the truth is that it was due to our negligence that we were switched out by the adulterers. Now that Drunk Dream House is not going to let it go, and I've already promised to double the compensation, I have to do what I say. "
Old Yellow and the others were dumbfounded. This Yangcheng rice was expensive ah!
It was precisely for this reason that the Intoxicated Dream Pavilion's Manager Tao was able to stand firmly under the pincer attack of the Hundred Flavors Clear Joyous.
To be able to accompany someone twice as fast now, how big of a loss would that be!
Since Su Zhi had already made up her mind, there was nothing they could do about it.
However, Su Zhi did not intend to punish them, but instead, silently swallowed her bitter fruit.
"From now on, you must be very careful. You must take care of every detail so that no mistakes can be made."
"I will remember your teachings!"
Just because she was wearing the uniform of an officer or a patrol on the streets, where could she go to find those who had committed crimes? Other than being on guard against the unexpected, she could not afford to be rash anymore.
As soon as the matter on her side was settled, Qiu Hong had followed along to tell Su Zhi another piece of shocking news.
"Boss!" "Oh no, you should hurry up and go back to take a look. Something big has happened!"
Su Zhi's eyebrows twitched as she supported the panting Qiu Hong. She asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's Manager Li. He, he couldn't hold back his anger for a while, so he ran off to Hundred Flavors Qing to make a ruckus!"
As expected, what was there to be afraid of!
Li Yi was good at everything, but he wasn't experienced enough in society. He was impatient and impulsive.
Su Zhi had warned him repeatedly to not follow her just so that he would not be so easily angered. Now, just as she turned around, he had already run to the other side.
"Hurry back, I'm afraid something will happen today."
Just as she had said, although Li Yi was a weak scholar, he did not slander her. Raising his wooden stick, which was as thick as a man's arm, he angrily smashed it towards her.
At this moment, he was charging into the Hundred Flavors Clear Joy alone. Without saying a word, he slammed his pole on the counter.
"Tell that grandson, Yu Zhanhong, to come out!"
Yuan Ming, who was jabbering away on his abacus, was startled. When he saw that it was Elementary Scholar Li, he was overjoyed.
"Yo, let me calculate. This pole of yours broke two jars of top-quality Pear Blossom White Flower. It would at least cost ten taels of silver." "Yah, there's a crack in the counter. Fifty silver, look, even scaring the customers. One hundred silver."
Li Yi shouted coldly, then raised his rod and smashed it onto Duan Ling Tian's head. "Pah!" A scamp who sees money opening his eyes, scram! When will it be your turn to speak! "
Yuan Ming covered his aching head, pointed at him and stammered, "Little bastard! How dare you hit me?! There's no grandpa who can't get up in two hundred taels!"
"Then I'll throw another shuttle at you and smash your dog head!"
"Aiyaya, he's killing someone!"
With the loud commotion, the customers eating in the main hall all got up and ran away. The waiter and the waiter rushed out, "Come back, I didn't pay you!"
Li Yi was fuming and attacked Yu Zhanhong fiercely with his stick. When Yu Zhanhong refused to come out, Li Yi assumed that he was doing it out of guilt and shouted that he was going to cause trouble at the Yu Mansion.
When Yu Zhenhong heard the news, he was so angry that he jumped up and down. He put down his chopsticks and left the mansion, then he rode his horse and dashed into the store.
The weak, useless Elementary Scholar actually dared to find trouble with him? If you don't die, you will be letting down this great opportunity!
Even though he had already mentally prepared himself, his legs still couldn't help but to soften when he rushed over.
"Grandson of a Turtle!" "Look at what you've done!"
Broken wine jars, fine white porcelain tableware, and carefully custom-made tables and chairs made from red bean trees were all destroyed!
He had underestimated the destructive power of an Elementary Scholar.
It was silver, white silver!
Yu Zhanhong's heart ached for the silver, and he collapsed to the ground in anger.
"Grandson, you're finally here!" The wooden sticks in Li Yi's hand had been cut in half, and he was also exhausted to the point of sweating.
"You with the surname Li, just you wait, I swear I won't be a human until I send you to jail!"
Li Yi was already going all out and wasn't afraid of his threats in the slightest.
Li Yu and Li Yu had been competitors since their ancestors were born, and Yu Zhanhong's grandfather was an accountant hired by Elementary Scholar Li.
Because the hard worker is willing to work hard, they treat him as a brother. From time to time, he imparts business skills to him.
Who knew that the Yu Family was not a peaceful family. Once they gained experience, they would establish their own new sect. What was even more infuriating was their son's generation watching the Li Family fall.
The grudge between generations of ancestors was not made clear to this day.
"Does laozi fear you!?" Didn't you want to take all the flowers into your pocket? Let's see if you have the ability to do so! "
