Standing beside Du Qi, Zhong Laoba was very anxious. Anyway, he is the person in charge of the security of the restaurant, and now that something went wrong, the responsibility is naturally on his head.
After all, he is in charge.
Zhong Laoba is not a philistine and irresponsible person. With a serious expression on his face, he said solemnly: "Master, this time Cui Yixiong killed someone. The reason is that I didn't manage my brothers well."
"This is my fault."
"Whether the young master wants to fine me or fire me, I admit it. After all, I have lost my life. Even if the life lawsuit has nothing to do with me, as far as the restaurant is concerned, I have an unshirkable responsibility."
Zhong Laoba said: "Please punish me, my lord."
Du Qi patted Zhong Laoba on the shoulder, and said: "The matter of Cui Yixiong has nothing to do with you. It is clear that it is the joint arrangement of Xie Zhizhou and Xie Mi. Even if you escaped now, there are other means waiting for you. So, and You don't have much to do with it, so don't blame yourself."
Zhong Laoba still felt a little guilty.
He believes that his work has not been done well.
Du Qidao: "Zhong Laoba, if you want to make up for your mistakes, then do a good job in the restaurant. Xie Zhizhou is the magistrate of Chang'an, and he is a threat to our restaurants and tea shops. Today's restaurants are not in a safe situation. So in this matter, You have to strengthen your patrol and defense, whether it is daytime or night, you have to pay more attention. Rather than feel guilty and blame yourself, it is better to make comprehensive arrangements to ensure the safety of the restaurant."
"yes!"
Zhong Laoba replied solemnly.
He once retired from the battlefield and came back from the battlefield. Because his body was injured, even though his actions were no different from ordinary people, in fact, Zhong Laoba found it difficult to work hard.
For a person living in the countryside, if he cannot work hard or work in the fields, the family will have no labor force, and he will have an extra mouth to eat.
One will ebb and flow, and the burden on the family will be enormous.
Because of Du Qi, he lived a good life. Even the whole family came to live in Chang'an from the mountain village, and among his family members, the old wife was also doing dishes in the back kitchen, so they all had things to do, so they really took root in the restaurant in Chang'an.
This is Zhong Laoba's gratitude to Du Qi.
So when something happened, Zhong Laoba felt very guilty, and felt sorry for Du Qi's kindness.
Zhong Laoba cheered up and led the people away.
Du Qi took Jin Wuque and went straight back to the backyard to sit down. Du Qi sat and closed his eyes to think, while Jin Wuque sat below. He saw that Du Qi kept his eyes closed and didn't speak, just waiting quietly.
After a long while, Du Qicai opened his eyes.
Jin Wuque immediately cheered up.
Du Qi said seriously: "Old Jin, you call Zhong Laoba again, I have something to ask."
"yes!"
Jin Wuque gave orders immediately.
Immediately, Jin Wuque came back, and he said, "My lord, do you have any idea for calling Zhong Laoba here?"
Du Qidao: "I considered all kinds of possibilities, and I also considered the worst case. Because Xie Zhizhou and Xie Mu have made arrangements, so from the current point of view, although Cui Yixiong killed someone, let's talk about the impact on the restaurant. No matter how big it is, in fact, it will not have much impact."
After a pause, Du Qi continued: "After all, we are helping this time, and it is well-founded. The news will not have any impact on our restaurant. The only thing is that Cui Yixiong is suffering."
After Jin Wuque heard it, he looked suddenly enlightened, and said: "Now that Cui Yixiong is taken away by Xie Zhizhou, the young master is worried that if Xie Zhizhou takes Cui Yixiong away, he will be beaten into a trick. Do you want to use Cui Yixiong to deal with the young master?"
"yes!"
Du Qi nodded and answered.
This is Du Qi's current consideration.
Du Qidao: "Once you enter the yamen, there are many things that you can't say clearly even if you have a mouth. Especially Xie Zhizhou, since he can get the respect of the East Palace, it must not be easy. So under the current situation, I think Xie Zhizhou's breakthrough must be It fell on Cui Yixiong."
Jin Wuque said: "It is really possible that it is as the young master deduced, but it is not easy to bite the young master."
Du Qidao: "It's easy to climb and bite."
Jin Wuque said, "How do you climb and bite?"
Du Qidao: "As long as Xie Zhizhou achieves a result, let Cui Yixiong plead guilty, and let Cui Yixiong admit that I have told them about the security personnel of the restaurant. But anyone who comes to the restaurant to cause trouble will directly beat him to death, so don't worry about it."
"Even, Xie Zhizhou can add more oil and vinegar, let Cui Yixiong say, I, Du Qi,The scenery is taken care of by the king of Qin and the emperor, so people don't have to worry about it. "
"In short, after such a series of words, even if I didn't personally kill someone, it will have a great impact on my reputation. It will also have an impact on the restaurant."
"The most important thing is that if the news spreads to the palace and is known by His Majesty, His Majesty will think that I am outside the palace, domineering, unscrupulous, and full of bullies, and His Majesty may hate me."
Du Qi said seriously: "Once I lose my Sacred Heart, the East Palace will have a chance to deal with me. Of course, it is the East Palace's expectation that I will lose His Majesty's trust and respect."
Jin Wuque gasped, and said: "This Xie Zhizhou is really cunning! Xie Zhizhou can do such a thing. You know, this has nothing to do with the young master, after all, the young master has not publicized like this from the beginning to the end."
After a pause, Jin Wuque said: "My lord, there are so many security personnel in our restaurant. Even if Xie Zhizhou used means to let Cui Yixiong bite you, there are other personnel in the restaurant. They can testify."
Du Qidao: "The people in the restaurant are all under my command, and they are all my own people. They testify, not counting."
Jin Wuque said: "Young master's words are true."
Not long after, Zhong Laoba entered. After saluting Du Qi respectfully, he said, "My lord, what are your orders?"
Du Qi said in a deep voice: "Zhong Laoba, how about Cui Yixiong's bones, is it hard bones or soft bones. Now that he has entered the county government, I am a little worried."
Zhong Laoba patted his chest and said: "Young master, this Cui Yixiong is a tough guy with great backbone. Not only that, Cui Yixiong is extremely filial, he only has one mother alive, he is an excellent person."
After Du Qi heard it, he thought about it.
Suddenly, Du Qi said: "Zhong Laoba, do you know where Cui Yixiong lives?"
Zhong Laoba said: "I know!"
Du Qidao: "Let's go, let's go to Cui's house immediately. Although Cui Yixiong entered the county government, it is very likely that he will be beaten into a trick. However, Cui Yixiong is filial after all."
"Such a person will obey his old mother's words. So we just need to go to Cui's house and tell Cui's mother what happened. When the old man comes forward, Cui Yixiong can make Cui Yixiong change even if he is tortured."
"Especially only by doing so can Cui Yixiong's life be saved."
Du Qi looked determined, and said: "After all, this time, although Cui Yixiong killed someone, in fact, he was not really guilty. Even if he should be punished, he should be punished lightly."
Zhong Laoba said: "Young master's words are true!"
After a pause, Zhong Laoba continued: "Cui Yixiong's house is actually not far from Yongxingfang. But his residence is small and remote, it is an old house."
"Let's go!"
Du Qi stood up and gave instructions.
However, Du Qi and Zhong Laoba did not leave through the gate, but left Jin Wuque in the restaurant. Du Qi and Zhong Laoba left quietly through the back door in a carriage.
This is to avoid discovery.
The carriage drove quickly, and within a quarter of an hour, it had already arrived outside Cui's residence. This is a very remote residence, and it is also a very small house. But just like this, it was Cui Yixiong who worked hard and borrowed part of the money to buy it. It was not easy for the Cui family.
Zhong Laoba stepped forward and knocked on the door. Not long after, the door opened, and an old woman with gray hair and a slightly bent back came out.
This old woman is Cui's mother.
When Du Qi was on the way, he heard the introduction from Zhong Laoba. Although Cui's mother had gray hair and a bent back, she looked very old, but in fact, she was less than fifty years old, only in her early forties.
This is caused by too much work when I was young. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
