Chapter 74： face

Gu Lang glanced at him lightly, thinking that his move was a bit interesting.

Liao Hui didn't know why the man in front of him was obviously a weak scholar, but he made him react like this. It's just that the loser doesn't lose, he looked at the man in front of him and subconsciously raised his chest, trying his best to show his strength.

Seems to be aware that the atmosphere at the scene is not right, Chen Xing glanced left and right, and finally set his eyes on Gu Lang, and asked a little strangely: "What's wrong with you?"

Gu Lang turned his head to look at Chen Xing next to him, only to see him looking at them with a puzzled expression, his originally cold brows softened, and said softly: "It's nothing, just I didn't expect our luck to be so good, this young man not only broke through their conspiracy, but was willing to come and testify for us at this time."

Chen Xing nodded and looked at Liao Hui gratefully. Yes, although they found the poison, they also knew the source of that thing. But without Liao Hui's notification, it would be impossible for them to know that the thing was specially framed by others in order to frame them.

Thinking like this, Chen Xing softened a bit towards Liao Hui, "This time, I will trouble you, Mr. Liao."

Received Chen Xing's grateful eyes, and then looked at the little white face in front of him, and he softened to himself, Liao Hui suddenly became energetic, and his face also brought a bit of pride, "This This kind of hurtful thing, of course, must give justice to the victim. Otherwise, if there are other people to follow suit, wouldn't it be a mess."

Gu Lang, who was next to him, saw that Chen Xing's appreciation for Liao Hui was about to reveal itself, he narrowed his eyes slightly, then looked at the officer who was left behind, and said unceremoniously, "Officer Lord, this young man is an important witness, shouldn't he record his confession?"

"Ah, oh, it seems so. This son, please come with me."

The officer who was suddenly named was a little stunned, but thought that their process seemed to be like this, so after a brief hesitation, he took Liao Hui down to record.

When Liao Hui left with the official clerk, the other related clerks were also taken down for questioning by the official clerk. Only Chen Xing and Gu Lang were the bosses, but they didn't know anything. Those who knew were left behind.

Only Gu Lang and Chen Xing were left at the scene. Chen Xing looked at Gu Lang and said sadly, "I'm sorry."

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing with a bit of doubt on his face, as if he didn't quite understand why he was sorry.

Chen Xing didn't look at Gu Lang's expression, just looked down at his fingers and said apologetically, "If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't have encountered these troubles." He is clearly the one The owner of the store, but at that time, he asked Gu Lang to help him take responsibility.

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing's frustrated expression, touched his head, and said warmly, "It doesn't matter, I'm more fortunate to know you than these troubles."

The Zhou family.

Since Zhou Qing learned from his younger brother that the Chen family restaurant was taken away by officials and the store was closed, he was very happy to think that the Chen family restaurant would be brought down soon . They also specially invited their uncle to come over, and the two prepared a table of good dishes to celebrate in advance.

of.

"Uncle, you are still the best!" Zhou Qing filled the glass of Zhou's housekeeper with wine, and after watching him take a sip, he gave him a thumbs up, admiring Dao: "If it weren't for the way my uncle thought of, it would have been so easy to defeat them. Sure enough, the most promising person in our family is you, uncle. Others are as smart as you."

Zhou Qing originally just wanted to teach Chen Xing and the others a lesson, but when he was discussing with Huang Yao, he happened to meet his uncle who came to visit their house. After hearing about their plans and the daily income of the small restaurant, his uncle became more interested in compiling the recipe of the small restaurant. Afterwards, not only did they point out the deficiencies in their plan, but they even personally helped to find someone to perfect the key points.

"You brat!" Butler Zhou stroked his beard, and was flattered by his incompetent nephew, but on the surface he was extraordinarily reserved: "This is not a big deal. What, just some unfounded yellow-haired children, causing them a little trouble, your uncle, I can still do it."

Listening to Zhou's housekeeper, Zhou Qing still felt that his uncle was too humble, whether it was getting medicine, delivering medicine, looking for someone to pretend to be poisoned, and getting through the relationship with the government , that does not require a strong network, otherwise how can it be done, he continued to compliment:

"Uncle, you are being too polite. You don't have the skills of an uncle, so you can do such a leak. When your nephew gets the store, he will definitely manage it well, and take care of the big ones. Part of the proceeds goes to my uncle."

Hearing Zhou Qing say this, the housekeeper Zhou nodded, very satisfied with his nephew's acquaintance. He is still the housekeeper of the Chen family, and it is difficult to do some things in person, but if it is handed over to his nephew, it will not be a big problem.

Thinking of this, Steward Zhou looked at Zhou Qing with a bit more loving eyes, and said warmly, "Qing'er still has a heart."

Zhou Qing listened to the compliments, and his face became more and more smug, but he soon learned from those poor scholars, and politely said: "It is only because my uncle taught me well, that I can have such achievements. In the future, my nephew will rely on my uncle a lot, and I hope that my uncle will not be stingy in teaching my nephew."

While the two of them were talking, Zhou Qing's daughter-in-law brought them another plate of fresh meat, and then went out with a low eyebrow.

Zhou Qing looked at the back of the woman leaving, and frowned in dissatisfaction. He usually couldn't get used to his daughter-in-law's submissive appearance. Now that his uncle is here, she is still like this It's really embarrassing for him to look like he can't be on the table.

Butler Zhou noticed his eyes, and as he saw the woman who had just stepped out of the door, he could not help frowning, and then thought of something, and said dissatisfiedly: "You are not old You're young, this niece-in-law hasn't given birth to you a child and a half-daughter all these years, if it doesn't work..."

Zhou Qing listened to his uncle's unfinished meaning and understood the unfinished meaning, and said directly: "Uncle, I know. When I take over this shop and have money, I'm going to marry someone else who can give birth."

The housekeeper Zhou originally intended to make him and his wife work hard and add more incense to their Zhou family, but thinking that Zhou Qing would have a steady stream of money after he got the store, Zhou Qing wanted to marry him What kind of daughter-in-law didn't have, so he didn't open his mouth to stop it, and directly acquiesced to his nephew's idea.

After staring at the door of the room for a while, he turned and left.

The sound was in the slightly quiet space, like a drumstick beating on one's heart, making people's heart pound.

"Who!" The voice of a woman questioning in the yard.

"We are officials in the yamen, and we have been ordered to invite Zhou Qing from your family to go to the yamen, open the door quickly, and don't waste everyone's time!"

Hearing the vicious voice outside, Zhou Qing, who had just been drinking with pride, looked at his uncle with surprise, and said in a panic: "Uncle, what should I do? What about the official clerk? Will come to the door, do they know something, so they will come to the door to arrest me?"

Butler Zhou is much calmer than his nephew, he stroked his half-white beard, thought for a moment, looked at Zhou Qing and comforted: "Don't worry, it should be you some time ago I had a conflict with the people in the restaurant, and now the restaurant has been in trouble one after another, and I was taken to the yamen to ask questions. It must be about the contradiction between you, so an official came to look for you. Now I will take you. In the past, I should just ask you to come and ask questions. You just need to remember that although you have an old grudge with the owner of the restaurant, you didn't do anything."

Zhou Qing's originally panicked expression gradually calmed down under the comfort of his uncle, then looked at his uncle and nodded heavily.

At the same time, the official outside the door had already shouted to open the door, and accompanied by the Zhou family's daughter-in-law, tremblingly came to the door of Zhou Qing's room.

"Zhou Qing is inside?" The official's tone was not polite at all.

"Yes, yes." The woman's submissive voice sounded, followed by a strong knock on the door.

Butler Zhou glanced at the door indifferently, then looked at his nephew, and said calmly, "Go, remember what I said to you."

Hearing his uncle's words, Zhou Qing felt a lot more at ease, he nodded slightly, took a deep breath, and then came to the door, pulled it open, looked out The guard guard showed a flattering expression, "My lords, I'm Zhou Qing. I wonder what the lord is looking for from me?"

The leading official glanced at him up and down, and in the smile of Zhou Qing's gradually unable to hold on, he sneered, "My lord has a request, please come with us."

"Yes, yes."

Hearing the rude words of the official, Zhou Qing did not dare to ask any more questions, but just watching the expressions of several officials facing him, his heart gradually rose a little bit of unease.

I might not be able to go home this time.
