Chapter 49: The Great Butler
Hu Fei and Li San went to the restaurant near the hotel to drink, and the safety of the hotel was handed over to the three minions. Zhang Yayi is still almost able to recover to the state she was in before she was injured, and with her current level of force, four or five ordinary young men are not her opponents. Hu Fei was not worried about Zhang Yayi's safety, otherwise he would not have gone out to drink with Li San.
The two of them went to the restaurant and asked for four dishes and two pots of wine, and they chatted happily while drinking. When he was drinking, Li San said, "Brother Fei, after you go back, do you want Miss Zhang to stay with us or let her go back to her own home?" Li San is not only Hu Fei's number one bodyguard, but also participated in the whole Zhang Yayi incident, and he knows very well that Zhang Yayi is behind-the-scenes background.
This is also the most embarrassing thing for Hu Fei, he shook his head and sighed after thinking about it, "Let her do whatever you want." If you want to stay, you can stay, and if you want to go, you can leave at will. ”
Hu Fei, Sun Cunzhou's female apprentice, didn't plan to force him, he really couldn't stop people if they wanted to leave. Li San knew Hu Fei's thoughts, and from then on, he would no longer mention Zhang Yayi's matter. The two of them chatted without a word, drinking wine here, and by the way, it was a pastime to listen to the market news that the drinkers talked about.
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted at the staircase of the restaurant, as if he was shouting that the big housekeeper was coming. Who is the big butler? Hu Fei was a little puzzled, so he turned his head to look in the direction of the staircase. There was not much time, and two sturdy men in leather jackets came up from the top of the stairs. As soon as the two men came up, they stood left and right at the top of the stairs, like two gods.
One of the diners who was about to go downstairs after eating saw this posture, turned around and sat back in his seat, and the people who came up were obviously something he couldn't afford to provoke. After these two strong men came up, they didn't do much, and another came up from the bottom of the stairs.
The man was not tall, bald, with a cocked chin, and a pigtail at the back of his head that looked a bit like a man. A big face, the flesh on the face is grunting down. The bridge of the nose, the small eyes, and especially the pair of mouths always drooped down when there was nothing to do, as if someone owed him more than a dozen dollars.
As soon as this guy with a big face and pigtails walked upstairs, the entire second floor of the restaurant became silent in an instant. The liquor order was gone, and the loud braggings were silent, and everyone kept their heads down and focused on the food in front of them, as if they had only now discovered how delicious the food and drink they had ordered. This guy has such a big aura!
Xiao Eryi, who greeted the guests upstairs, saw this, and quickly left the guests and ran to this person, "Ouch, this is not the big housekeeper!" Why did you deign to come to the shop today? If you want to eat, I'll tell the kitchen to make it for you! There's a good spot here, please come here! ”
"Hehe, your Wanfulou business is good. Is it so many people every day lately? The big housekeeper seems to be quite familiar with the people in the restaurant, and he inquired about the business of the restaurant without saying a word.
"Usually there aren't so many, but today is probably the light of the big butler." The shopkeeper is really good-mouthed, and he coaxed the big housekeeper to smile in a few words.
"You kid, you can talk. Uncle, I'm very happy today, little six, reward this kid with two silver coins. In a word, the two shiny silver dollars arrived, and the shopkeeper's eyes flashed with joy. I'm here to find someone, you're busy with your going, you don't need to call me specifically. ”
Seeing that the chief butler seemed to be quite reasonable, Hu Fei had a good impression of this person in his heart.
After saying a few words to the shopkeeper and rewarding two silver dollars, the big butler's eyes scanned back and forth between the drinkers on the second floor. He also saw Hu Fei. In the case that most of the people in the restaurant are immersed in eating and drinking, Hu Fei's unscrupulous eyes look a little unusual.
However, the chief butler seemed to have something important, and when his eyes swept over Hu Fei, it was only a moment longer than looking at others, and the disdain in his eyes flashed. Who is he? How could an ordinary Han like Hu Fei get into his eyes?
Hu Fei pinched the wine glass and looked at the big butler with interest, he wanted to see what happened to this powerful man in Hami City coming to this restaurant?
Hu Fei knew this big butler, and he had met this man by chance when he was stealing a big household in Hami City some time ago. Of course, the big butler will definitely not know Hu Fei. At that time, Hu Fei's black scarf was masked, and he was not discovered when he went to steal this house. The house he stole was the Hami County Magistrate Yao Lebos, and this big housekeeper was Yao Lebos's housekeeper!
Yao Lebos can be said to be a famous person in Xinjiang, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the king of Hami. His parents died when he was young, and when he was young, he once served in the Hami Palace, and because he was good at drilling camps, he was once powerful in the palace. When he joined forces with Ganiyaz and Ma Zhongying to fight against Sheng Shicai, Yao Lebos joined the rebels who fought with Ganiyaz and Ma Zhongying.
Later, the rebels were defeated by Sheng Shicai's provincial army, and Ma Zhongying did not know what to do, and he and Ganiyaz were defeated and fled. Yao Lebos proclaimed himself the magistrate of Hami County, and at the same time telegraphed Sheng Shicai, expressing his support for the new government. Sheng Shicai was exhausted after years of fighting, and since Yao Lebos expressed his obedience, he pinched his nose and admitted it. Since then, Hami has become the territory of Yao Lebos, and he is the de facto king of Hami!
There is such a big man in Hami, of course Hu Fei will not let it go when he steals a big account. Yao Lebos is not very famous, but the defense of his family is very lax, I guess he didn't expect anyone to dare to come to his house to steal money, right?
The trip to the county magistrate's house was very fruitful. Hu Fei filled all the places that could hold money in the vault of Yaolebos, and then he stopped when he reloaded it. He was just about to leave when another person came in from outside the vault, and it was Sadiq, the county magistrate's butler.
Hu Fei didn't know that this person was Yao Lebos's housekeeper at the time, he was just curious about this guy entering the vault in the middle of the night, so he hid in the dark and peeked.
The chief butler, Sadiq, walked around the county magistrate's vault as if he were inspecting his own treasure trove, and took a few gold and silver nuggets in his arms. Hu Fei hid in the dark and could understand that this guy was here to withdraw money like himself!
Knowing the purpose of this person's coming, Hu Fei naturally became curious about his identity. Anyway, it was still early, and he followed Sadiq all the way to see who this guy really was. On the way, he met the county magistrate's house and greeted Sadiq, and Hu Fei knew that this thief was the big butler of Yao Lebos!
Since Yao Lebos is the de facto king of Hami, as the chief butler of his cronies, Sadiq's power in Hami City is naturally unusual, so what is such a person doing with two of his men to the restaurant? Hu Fei's curiosity came up again.
