"Guest upstairs, please." The shopkeeper politely said to the man in Tsing Yi.
After speaking, the shopkeeper of the restaurant took the man in Tsing Yi to a private room on the second floor.
After entering the private room, the shopkeeper of the restaurant asked the man in Tsing Yi, "Say, is there something wrong with coming here in such a hurry?" ”
"My subordinates saw a group of middle-aged men in fancy clothes gathered outside the Cao Mansion at the gate of the Cao Mansion, so I came here to let you find out what was going on with those people outside the Cao Mansion as soon as possible."
"Don't worry, I'll definitely send someone to find out about this matter." The shopkeeper of the restaurant said to the man in Tsing Yi with a smile.
"In that case, then I'll take my leave." The man in Tsing Yi said to the shopkeeper of the restaurant in a serious tone.
"It's all here, don't be in such a hurry to leave, it's not too late to have a glass of wine first. What's more, the rain in the restaurant is mixed, if you leave so quickly, what if you are seen by some people! ”
The man in Tsing Yi knew that the shopkeeper of the restaurant was for his own good, so he had to agree.
"Okay, if it's okay, I'll go out first, and I'll ask the shopkeeper to bring you wine later." By the way, do you want any food and drinks? The shopkeeper of the restaurant politely asked the man in Tsing Yi.
"It's still the same." The man in Tsing Yi said to the shopkeeper of the restaurant with a smile.
"I see, if it's okay, I'll go and get busy first." After speaking, the shopkeeper of the restaurant left this private room.
But after a while, a shopkeeper walked outside the private room with a tray.
"Guest, please open the door, your wine and food are ready." The shopkeeper said to the man in Tsing Yi.
"The door is not closed, you can come in!" The man in Tsing Yi said to the shopkeeper in a flat tone.
After getting the answer from the man in Tsing Yi, the shopkeeper pushed open the door of the private room.
Then he walked over to the table and began to set up the dishes.
But after a while, the wine and food were arranged, and then the shopkeeper said to the man in Tsing Yi: "Guest officer, please use it slowly, if there is anything else you need to call me at any time, I will be on call." ”
"Alright, you go down first, remember to close the door, and don't let anyone disturb me." The man in Tsing Yi said to the shopkeeper in a flat tone.
"Don't worry, guest officer! In general, no one will come to make trouble in our restaurant. The shopkeeper said politely to the man in Tsing Yi.
After saying this, the shopkeeper left the private room. Before leaving, I saw Xiao Er close the door according to the instructions of the man in Tsing Yi.
"Yes, this wine and food still taste the same." The man in Tsing Yi muttered to himself while eating.
Then he poured himself another glass of wine, and after pouring it, he began to savor it.
A cup of glass entered his throat, and the man in Tsing Yi felt a strong burning sensation in his throat.
"Yes, this wine still tastes the same as before, and it tastes really good."
On the first floor of the restaurant, the shopkeeper of the restaurant called a shopkeeper after returning to the counter.
"Shopkeeper, what's the matter with you?" The shopkeeper asked the shopkeeper suspiciously.
"You go and call Ah Hui."
"Yes, shopkeeper." After saying that, the shopkeeper turned away, and then began to shuttle through the crowd.
Soon, the shopkeeper came to a skinny shopkeeper.
"Ah Hui's shopkeeper is looking for you to have something." The shopkeeper said to Ah Hui with a smile.
"I know, you deal with it first, I'll come when I go." After saying that, Ah Hui walked towards the counter.
Soon Ah Hui made his way through the crowd to the counter.
"Shopkeeper, I heard Ah Jun say that you have something to do with me." Ah Hui asked the shopkeeper with a hippie smile.
"Be serious, don't give me a hippie smile all day." The shopkeeper of the restaurant reprimanded Ah Hui in a serious tone.
After being reprimanded by the shopkeeper of the restaurant, Ah Hui's watch immediately became serious.
"Okay, take it easy, don't be so serious. Let me ask you, how is your family relationship with Cao Fu? ”
"Shopkeeper, is there something you want me to do?"
"I just got the news that a group of middle-aged men in fancy clothes gathered outside Cao's mansion."
"Shopkeeper, do you mean you want me to check on them?"
"Not only do I have to ask you to find out what they are trying to do when they come together? Can you do this? The shopkeeper said to Ah Hui with a flat face.
"Shopkeeper, don't worry, this matter is on me, and I will check it immediately. It's just that I can't leave now, do you see I'm going to check at night? Ah Hui said to the shopkeeper with an embarrassed face.
"You put down what you're doing and look into it right now. I don't care what method you use, I must find out what their purpose is. Also, wait a minute, I will give you a thousand taels of silver from the account, which is counted as your activity expenses, and you must find out anyway, otherwise you will not have to come back. ”
"Shopkeeper, don't worry, aren't you at ease when I do something? How many times did you see me mess things up? Ah Hui patted his chest and assured the shopkeeper.
"Then don't talk about what you have and don't have, hurry up and do it, I need to know all the information before evening." The shopkeeper of the restaurant said to Ah Hui in a serious tone.
After receiving the order of the restaurant shopkeeper, Ah Hui only left the restaurant. In his arms, he still carried the 1,000 taels of silver tickets given to him by the shopkeeper of the restaurant.
Then Ah Hui came to a quiet courtyard.
After about a stick of incense, Ah Hui changed his clothes and walked out.
Immediately afterwards, Ah Hui walked towards Cao Mansion in a hurry.
After about a quarter of an hour, Ah Hui came to the gate of Cao's mansion.
Ah Hui was just about to walk into Ah Hui, but was stopped by two family members guarding the gate.
"What do you do? Any idea what this place is? This is where people like you can enter at will? ”
"Trouble the two of you to report it, Steward Xia said that someone was looking for him." Ah Hui said with a smile to the two Cao Mansion family members.
"You wait here first, and I'll go and inform Steward Xia."
"Wait a minute, I've got something for you." Just as one of the two family members was about to go to report, Ah Hui called out to him.
"Why are you afraid that we will go to Steward Xia to verify and reveal our stuffing?"
"Of course not, but I have a token for you to pass on to him, and he will definitely come to see me when he sees it." After speaking, Ah Hui took out a piece of jade pendant.
After taking this jade pendant, the famous family Ding smiled and said to Ah Hui: "You wait here!" ”
Soon the family member who entered Cao's Mansion was passing through, and after a passage, he came to the south courtyard of Cao's Mansion.
After entering the South Courtyard, the family member walked towards a separate room.
When the man came to the door of the room, he reached out and knocked on the door.
Soon there was a voice in the room.
"Who? Didn't I tell anyone not to bother me? ”
"Steward Xia, it's me Ah Yong!" Ah Yong said respectfully to Steward Xia.
"It turned out to be Ah Yong, is there anything to do with me?" Steward Xia said to Ah Yong with a smile.
"There is a young man outside the gate of Steward Xia who claims to be your acquaintance, let me tell you. He took me a piece of jade pendant and asked me to pass it on to you, and you will definitely see him after I give it to you. ”
"The door is not closed, you can come in!" Steward Xia said to Ah Yong with a smile.
"Yes, Steward Xia." After answering this sentence, Ah Yong pushed open the door of this room.
Soon Ah Yong came to Steward Xia, and then Ah Yong handed the jade pendant that Ah Hui handed him to Steward Xia.
After carefully inspecting this jade pendant, Steward Xia said to Ah Yong with a smile: "Hurry up and take me over, I want to see him." ”
Then Ah Yong took Steward Xia to the gate of Nacao's Mansion.
Soon Steward Xia saw Ah Hui, and then Steward Xia said to Ah Hui with a smile: "What is the matter with you looking for me in such a hurry?" ”
"Big brother, I have something to do with you." Ah Hui said mysteriously to Steward Xia.
"Is there anything you can say about me here?" Steward Xia said to Ah Hui with a smile.
"Big brother, there are a lot of people here, let's find a place to sit down and talk!" Ah Hui said to Steward Xia with a smile.
"Alright! In that case, let's call a restaurant and get together! Steward Xia said to Ah Hui indifferently.
Soon, Steward Xia and Ah Hui came to a restaurant not far from Cao's Mansion.
After entering the restaurant, Steward Xia came to the counter and said to the shopkeeper of the restaurant with a smile: "Shopkeeper, arrange a first-class private room for me." ”
"Wait a minute, you two, I'll ask the shopkeeper to take you up." The shopkeeper of the restaurant said politely to the two.
"Little Er, go up to the second floor with these two guest officers." The shopkeeper of the restaurant called a shopkeeper.
"Two upstairs, please." The shopkeeper said to the two with a smile.
Then he took the two of them to the second floor, and after a while, the shopkeeper came and took the two of them to the second floor.
Immediately afterwards, the shopkeeper took the two of them to the door of a private room, and then the shopkeeper pushed open the door of the private room.
"Please, two of you." The shopkeeper pushed open the door of this private room and said to the two with a smile.
The two entered the private room under the leadership of the shopkeeper, and after entering the private room, the shopkeeper asked the two, "I wonder what the two guest officers need?" ”
"Just serve a table of your good wine and good food." Steward Xia said to the shopkeeper with a smile.
"Okay! The two guest officers, you talk first, and I'll go and tell the back kitchen. The shopkeeper said to the two housekeepers Xia with a smile.
Then the shopkeeper slowly withdrew from the private room, and after confirming that the shopkeeper had left the private room, Steward Xia asked Ah Hui curiously: "Ah Hui, what are you looking for me?" As for being so mysterious. ”
"Big brother, aren't you doing things in Cao Mansion? I'd like to ask you about something. Ah Hui said to Steward Xia with a smile.
