Chapter 175: A nobleman (3)
This time the old lady stepped forward, "Are you the manager of this shop?"

Gu Yuanhe replied: "Yes."

The old lady turned her head to look at her master.

The young lady hadn't taken off the veil covering her nose, she pointed to the round tin bucket above it, and the woman asked, "What is that? What is it for?"

Gu Yuanhe immediately included this young lady and others in the ranks of "trouble-seeking villains", answered that it was an iron bucket, moved his hand hanging by his side, and hinted something to Wu Xiaoshan and Ning Si .

The woman seemed very dissatisfied, "Miss knew it was an iron bucket, and asked you what it was made of, but you didn't answer the question, how dare you?"

Gu Yuanhe's gaze became sharp, and he fixed on the woman, "We welcome diners here, and we don't welcome things that prey on others."

The woman's face immediately distorted, "Miss."

The young lady's eyes were also a little colder, and she motioned for a big maid beside her to speak.

The servant girl got the instructions and slapped a piece of paper on the nearest table, "My lady wants this shop and the cook in the shop." Then she pointed at Gu Yuanhe, "As for you, you can get out."

Seeing that the situation was not good, the guests at the three tables gasped and got up and left the table one after another. Seeing that the door was blocked by two men, they didn't dare to go out and retreated to the innermost part.

Gu Yuanhe flicked the silk robe without a trace of dust, "The owner has never mentioned selling the shop, let alone giving away the cook. I'm afraid you may have found the wrong place, please go back."

"Presumptuous." The woman shouted, raising her hand to slap Gu Yuanhe.

Let's talk about Ning Si and Wu Xiaoshan who received Gu Yuanhe's order.Wu Xiaoshan returned to the back kitchen and told Mu Cong that they had sealed the kitchen and protected themselves.Ning Si ran to the backyard, climbed up the ladder, carefully looked out a few times, then quickly climbed down, put down the ladder and ran into the kitchen, "The back door is guarded, so you can't get out. Master Mu, pack your things quickly, and you can climb over the hill." Enter the east courtyard through the wall, and I will go over the wall and enter the west courtyard, and we will run out separately, you go to the Yamen to report to the officials, and I will report back to the government, this matter should be done quickly, so hurry up."

Mu Cong asked them to leave quickly, and then together with Chen Huzi and his wife, he put away the important seasonings and stuffed them into the stove pit, and poured the half pot of stewed soup directly into the small pit where the kitchen usually pours sewage, and let him do his best. It flowed down the drain, that's not counting, and rinsed the pot of stewed soup with water.

At this time, the sound of tables and chairs falling to the ground came from the front, as well as Gu Yuanhe's yelling.Mu Cong picked up the kitchen knife and went out. Chen Huzi told his wife not to come out, and went out with a kitchen knife. He also closed the kitchen door and told his wife to get on from the inside.

Besides, Ning Si first sent Wu Xiaoshan to enter the east courtyard, then ran over to secure the back door, and then climbed over the wall and entered the west courtyard.There is someone drying clothes in the courtyard. It is the owner of the grocery store.Seeing Ning Si who jumped into the yard, the hostess lady was not afraid, instead she silently pointed to the west wall of her house, meaning to ask Ning Si to climb over the wall again and not go out directly.

Ning Si didn't have time to thank him, and climbed another wall, but there was no one in the backyard.He picked up a back basket in the corner, swaggered open the back door and went out, saw a row of eight strong men standing outside the back door of the snack shop, took a few glances, and walked away unhurriedly.When he got to a place where those people couldn't see, he threw his back basket and ran desperately.After all, he had worked as a police officer for several years and was very familiar with the town. He took shortcuts, climbed over walls and walked through small alleys, and finally ran to the ancient mansion, and slammed the gate of the mansion loudly.

Qing Shu was sitting in the room embroidering purses, when she heard that someone was going to rob her shop, she immediately threw away the half-embroidered purses, and hurried to the front. "Who wants to rob my shop?"

Ning Si was running too fast because he was desperately running, and as soon as he was relieved, he quickly explained the matter, and said that the lady who wanted to rob the shop by force was not from Kangxi Town, and she didn't know where she came from. That ostentation seems to have a lot of background.

This kind of thing happened without any warning, Qing Shu had no idea at all.But now is not the time to look for clues, the most important thing is to protect one's own people and the shop. "Housekeeper, how many people can the mansion spare?"

Gu Qiang reminded, "Miss, you can't take away the strong men from the mansion for the shop. If there is an emergency and only women and children are left in the mansion, isn't this an opportunity for the bad guys to take advantage of?"

Qingshu understood Gu Qiang's meaning, since someone dared to break into the shop suddenly and make trouble, someone dared to break into their house, so he had to guard against it.She looked at Ning Si, "You should have quite a few friends! If you are brave enough to follow me and kill you, you can recruit them for me, hurry up."

Ning Si thought for a while, and suddenly had an idea, "Miss, there are quite a few soldiers in the town who came back from the army. They don't have a serious job, and they often do some short-term jobs to make a living. They are easy to find, because they all gather at the market entrance to make a living. They are in Those who have killed and slashed people on the battlefield are not stage-frightened." At this time, Ning Si recommended these people in order to help Qingshu, let these people help Qingshu to embolden him.How would he know that Qingshu has always been the one who emboldens her own people, so why does he need others to bolster her courage.

Those who have been on the battlefield will naturally be ruthless.Qing Shu nodded, "Hurry up, recruit as many people as you want, and bring them directly to the shop, and I'll pay them later."

When Ning Si ran out to find someone, Qing Shu ordered Xiao Juan to bring over the spear she used for practice.A few months have passed, and she is no longer the girl who wields a stick. She has practiced a real spear.She also ordered Gu Qiang, "Keep the house well. Except for the wife and the children, everyone has a stick. Anyone who dares to break in will be beaten to death with a stick. I will naturally be responsible for any accident."

Qingyang came running with a small bow and arrow in his arms, "Sister, I'll fight bad guys with you."

Qingshu didn't treat him like a child at this time, "Xiaoyang, my sister is going to protect the people in the shop, you have to stay in the mansion and help my sister protect the people in the mansion, you understand?"

After hearing this, Qingyang nodded heavily, "Okay, Xiaoyang will help my sister protect the people in the mansion."

Qing Shu solemnly confessed to Gu Qiang, "The young master and the mansion are all entrusted to you. In this critical time, I allow you to use my father's double guns."

Li Dalang was leading the horse, while Xiaojuan brought Qingshu's spear.Qing Shu got on the horse, grabbed the reins with one hand, and grabbed the spear with the other, lightly pinched the horse's belly, and with a sound of riding, the bay red horse first raised its front hooves and gave a long hiss, then trotted out of the mansion gate.

Xiaojuan grabbed a stick in her hand and ran to keep up.Ding Jiabao also held a stick in his hand and chased after him.

Gu Qiang stood inside the gate of the mansion and yelled, "Protect Miss, hold on as much as you can, and help will arrive soon." After confirming that Xiaojuan and Ding Jiabao heard it, Gu Qiang hurriedly asked Cai Tieniu to close the gate of the mansion, and went to seal it himself They opened the back door, and according to Qingshu's confession, except for Gu Ye and the children, the people staying in the mansion, regardless of gender, had a stick in their hands.At this time, Gu Qiang had no choice but to be thankful, fortunately, Miss Yesterday brought back four strong men from Zhuangzi, and did not let them go back.
