Reborn I want to be a giant

Chapter 108 Dead
Drowsiness is real, but it's also true that he couldn't sleep well. Cheng Fu woke up before dawn with dark circles under his eyes.

After breakfast, he went through the paperwork and account books of Lianghexuan in the capital city, and also looked up the picture of the new location of the tavern. It was not until more than two hours later that he saw Gao Sheng who had come late.The other party brought her bad news.

"The whole family is dead." There have been some ups and downs in the past few years, but the major events have basically been smooth, and this accident caught him by surprise.

Cheng Fu was also very surprised, why just after she returned to Beijing and just wanted to meet the storyteller, the other party committed suicide by taking rat poison together.Even ghosts don't believe that there is nothing strange.

But the tavern cannot live without a storyteller, and the urgent need must be resolved first, "Has he accepted an apprentice?"

Gao Sheng came back to his senses, "Yes, that is..."

"The Jingding yamen settles the case quickly, and you are noticed. The apprentice brought me to see it as soon as possible." She quickly chose the side that was beneficial to her.

Seeing that Gao Sheng was still absent, Cheng Fu said angrily, "You didn't kill him."

"..." Seeing his thoughts, Gao Sheng rubbed the back of his neck in embarrassment.

Cheng Fu's tone softened, "Am I hard-hearted?" Anyway, she was also a hero of the tavern. Her whole family died, and her first reaction was to find someone to take over.

Now it was Gao Sheng's turn to get angry, "You need the understanding of the whole world?"

The corner of the little girl's mouth curled up slightly, "The answer is not what you asked."

Gao Sheng discarded distracting thoughts and regained his former composure, "When I arrived, I found that he was still living in the small courtyard more than ten years ago, there was not even a decent chair in the house, and the mattress was still torn.

This is very suspicious. The annual salary we give him is not low. After a few years, not to mention being rich, it is more than enough to change to a big house and buy some property so that the whole family can live a prosperous life. "He wondered why the other party would live their lives like this.

"You mean that as long as you find out where the money is, you can know the cause of death?" She felt that the case was not simple from the beginning.

Looking at her expression, Gao Sheng knew that the other party wanted to go with him, "Should we postpone the opening time?" Temporary replacement, he was not sure if the guests were used to it.

"It doesn't matter." It doesn't make any difference whether it is postponed or not. Newcomers need time to get familiar with it, and guests also need to get used to the new style.

Seeing her calmness, Gao Sheng really believed that she didn't care, and also vaguely sensed that the other party might not care so much about the tavern.

Cheng Fu continued: "I wonder if this case is just an introduction." She has been worrying too much, even though there is no result from the Jingding Yamen.

Gao Sheng's eyes flashed an undetectable coldness, "I really don't shoot dirty tricks."

"If the framing fails, they will start with the reputation." Cheng Fu waved his fan carelessly.

I don't know if it's because of her state of mind, or if it's really hot these days, but now she doesn't leave her fan all day long.

Her words reminded Gao Sheng and made him a little embarrassed.In business, reputation is often more important than life.He thought that Mr. Storyteller's death was aimed at him, the tavern, or the brothers and sisters of the Cheng family behind him, but he didn't think so far.

Cheng Fu's fan knocked on the table, "I'll tell you how to solve it."

"At that time, if there are no guests coming to drink, you should just take a rest. Anyway, you haven't stopped in the past few years." After she finished speaking, she showed a smirk.

Gao Sheng was stunned for a moment, and then she laughed angrily: "Why don't you? I don't care about Qingliangzhai, Zhuangzi, or your land?" It doesn't matter if there is a tavern or not, and he is still busy every day without touching the ground.

"Tsk, take this opportunity to complain." The little girl hummed unhappily.

The case of Mr. Storyteller's family committing suicide has not yet been heated up in the Jingding Yamen, but Xu Ze has already received news.

In the past few years, it's not that no one wanted to engage in the Cheng family's business, but Xu Ye blocked them one by one.Even if Xu Ye is not in the capital now, it does not mean that no one is taking care of him.If there is really something hidden in this case, it can only show that someone has taken a wrong turn.

Imperial study room

Emperor Chengqi looked at Feng Wenshi, who was sweating profusely in Jingding Yamen, and then at Xu Ze, who stood beside him with a natural expression.

"Then transfer to Dali Temple for investigation."

Feng Wenshi secretly heaved a sigh of relief with his eyes closed.

After the person left, Emperor Chengqi asked, "What's wrong with this case?"

Xu Ze had a lot of government affairs, and he only went to Dali Temple every four or five days. Now he is suddenly interested in a case, which is really rare.Emperor Chengqi almost forgot that this person used to be a fan of solving crimes.

Xu Ze picked and stated his thoughts, "The most profitable storyteller in the capital city guarantees the bottom line of [-] taels of silver every year, which is not a small amount. But his family is so poor that they can't get rid of it. Don't you think it's weird, Your Majesty? "

Emperor Chengqi narrowed his eyes, "Where did the money go?"

"The minister also wants to know."

Emperor Chengqi shook his head, "Have you ever thought that the cause of death is suicide?"

"Before I entered the palace, I went to the Beijing Ding Yamen to see the family. It was suicide." Although the autopsy was not over yet, and the final determination had to wait, judging from years of experience, he believed that it was almost impossible. .

"Then why are you messing around, are you free?" Emperor Chengqi's voice became louder.

Xu Ze coughed twice, "It's a bit of a guess, I want to confirm it."

Emperor Chengqi snorted coldly, "It's really idle."

When Cheng Fu saw the child brought by Gao Sheng, she finally understood why the other party hesitated before.

The storyteller's apprentice was about the same age as her, but he was childish and younger than her.The child has an excellent memory, is smooth-talking, and is vivid. It can be seen that he is talented.The disadvantage is the disadvantage in terms of age and appearance, at least two or three years later, the appearance will be suitable.

"It's really not good, I'll go." It's not easy to invite the right people when the time comes.

Cheng Fu squinted at him, "It's not necessary."

"Then what should we do?" Gao Sheng was at a loss.

"I'll come up with an idea. In the next few days, please ask other people to help you." It's not like this has happened before, and guests won't blame anything for changing their tastes for a few days.

"When the guest asked, he said that we don't know, and it depends on how the yamen will be closed. What happened to the family... You have to deal with it properly, and you can do it in a decent way.

And remind the people below, if there are guests making noise about changing the storyteller, don't get used to it.As long as there is a suitable top, those people will naturally shut up, which is the same as the principle of changing cooks in restaurants. "

The storyteller and cook are not irreplaceable in "Youjian Tavern".

Gao Sheng joked: "I can tell you what they will say right now, do you want to listen to it, and be prepared?"

"It doesn't matter. I'm not a saint. I can't satisfy everyone." If you like the tavern, come and have a drink or two.
