Lu Yi thrust a portrait into Gao Yamen's arms: "This man had a dispute with his father over gambling. He killed his father, robbed his money, and escaped overnight. I may have to trouble Brother Gao to bring someone to arrest him."
"
Gao Yamen took it, the teasing look on his face disappeared, he stared at a pair of copper bell-like eyes and cursed: "This kind of thing is worse than a beast, I will catch him right away."
He dismissed Gao Yamen and glanced around indifferently. The others looked embarrassed by him and went back to their respective posts to do their work seriously.
"Secretary Lu." The chief clerk came in and said, "You helped me block a while yesterday. How is your health? I have medicine for bruises here. Take off your clothes and I will wipe it for you."
"No need, chief clerk, my wife wiped it for me in the morning." Lu Yi handed over his hand.
"Your wife wiped it for you? Then the mark on your face...could it be that your wife bit you because you were injured?" Zhu Bo smiled half-heartedly.
"No, my wife just likes to fool around."
"Haha... I understand, I understand, young people are very angry." The chief clerk blinked his eyes, looking tacitly aware of what he was saying.
"Master Secretary, I have a case that I would like to ask for advice on. I wonder if it would be convenient for me to take a step to talk?"
The chief clerk now found him very pleasing, and he no longer cared whether his cold face was intimidating or not, and said enthusiastically: "There is no one there, go and talk to me!"
What Lu Yi wanted to ask was about Jiang's Restaurant.
The chief clerk looked serious after hearing this.
"Do you have a relationship with Jiang's Restaurant?"
"The guys there have a bit of a friendship with me. When I was at my lowest, that brother always helped me."
"If you just want to save a guy, it's not difficult. If you want to save the entire Jiang's Restaurant, I'm afraid it won't be possible."
"As far as I know, the whole case was caused by a shoddy guy. If he is guilty, it is the guy who is guilty of the felony, and the others should be innocent."
"If there were no dead people, this case wouldn't be very serious. But if there were dead people, it would be troublesome. The guy Wang San escaped, and everything was just one-sided words from other people. Needless to say, the owner of the restaurant must have committed a serious crime.
, the shopkeeper’s poor management is also a serious crime, but the waiters and others can be exempted from being sent to the army, and they can be taken back with a small fine of money."
Lu Yi made further inquiries and used various evidences to exonerate everyone in Jiang's Restaurant. However, according to the laws of the time, once a murder case was involved, the sentence would usually be particularly severe.
While Lu Yi was trying to find a solution for everyone in Jiang's Restaurant, Mu Siyu met Tang Yanzhi again who came uninvited.
"Little cousin..." He pressed against the door, preventing Mu Siyu from closing it, with a scowl on his face like a pug.
"Who is your little cousin? Your cousin is working as a maid in the Li Mansion. Don't admit your relatives randomly." Mu Siyu said with a cold face: "If you don't leave, don't blame me for being rude."
"Little cousin, listen to me, Jiang's Restaurant is over, and now you have no source of business, you might as well cooperate with us."
"You guys aren't responsible for Jiang's Restaurant, are you?"
"Look what you said, how is that possible?"
"Whether it is or not, I will not cooperate with you."
"Little cousin, the First Restaurant is very sincere. You will definitely make more money by cooperating with us. This is a sure-profit business. In the past, you were worried that Jiang's Restaurant would cause trouble, but now you don't have to worry."
"I said I don't agree, you leave immediately, otherwise I will be rude to you."
"Little cousin...ah...why are you hitting people...hey, why are you acting like a shrew?"
Mu Siyu beat him with a broom, and Tang Yanzhi hurriedly ran outside, his face distorted with anger.
Lu Xuan walked out of it: "Always doing this is not the answer. Now my brother is working as an errand in the county government, copying books is also a livelihood. You can still make boxes, why don't you do the braised pork business?"
"You're right. I don't have so much energy right now. I would be too busy to focus on furniture design every day." Mu Siyu said, "But I won't let them be proud."
Mu Siyu fiddled in the kitchen for a while, then went to the village chief's house carrying large and small bags.
Not long after, she came out of the village chief's house. Everything in her hand was gone, but there was an extra one hundred taels of silver in her arms.
That day, the village chief called all the households and told him a piece of news. The village planned to open a braised meat workshop. Those who were willing to join could contribute money or manpower, and the money would be distributed based on headcount.
That's right, Mu Siyu sold the braised pork recipe to the village chief and got a hundred taels of silver.
As for the Chuanchuan, she consulted Mrs. Chen and Lu Zhenzhen for their opinions. If they were willing, she could still make a pot of Chuanchuan for them individually, at the originally negotiated price. Another way was to sell them the production method.
, as long as they give her twenty taels of silver, all subsequent income will have nothing to do with her.
Sister-in-law Chen and Lu Zhenzhen chose the second option, but they had no money to give her for the time being, so they took credit first.
Mu Siyu asked Lu Xuan to write an IOU, and under the witness of the village chief, Mrs. Chen pressed her fingerprints.
Originally, people in the village were very jealous of Mu Siyu for making money, but now she gave them the golden rooster that earned money, and everyone could share the golden eggs, so their prejudice against Mu Siyu became smaller. Of course, some people still disliked her.
.
"Mom, you keep sighing, are you feeling sorry for me for handing over the business to someone else?"
Mu Siyu couldn't listen anymore and called to Tong who was looking sad.
Mrs. Tong looked at her sadly: "That's money, daughter."
"Yes, so I directly exchanged it for one hundred and twenty taels."
"However, one hundred and twenty taels will also be used up. If you can keep the business, it will be a long-term benefit."
"Mom, Mu Sijiao's cousin is here again today. The First Restaurant hasn't given up yet, and wants to get the braised pork order from me. Do you think they haven't tried making it themselves? I heard that they have tried various recipes.
I passed it, but I just couldn't make it taste like mine, so I had to find me. Jiang's Restaurant is in trouble now, and the No. 1 Restaurant is the dominant one. No one else dares to cooperate with me even if I keep the thing in my hands, and I don't
I am willing to cooperate with First Restaurant.”
"The reason why I gave it to the village is because there is strength with more people. With so many people in the village and all kinds of interpersonal relationships, they always have a way to sell the braised pork. Why don't I do this favor? In this way, the villagers
Remember my love, the village chief remembers my love. I don’t know how angry the No. 1 Restaurant is when its long-cherished plan has come to nothing. But as for me, as you can see, I have other business to do.
Too busy."
The sadness on Tong's face dissipated a little.
Mu Siyu grabbed Tong and said, "I want to discuss something with you."
"What?" Ms. Tong was still distressed and could not speak weakly.
"I want to send Shaoyu and Brother Han to a private school to study." Mu Siyu said: "Brother Han is still young, and we can't keep him at home doing farm work in such good years. He won't be able to do much."
