Chapter 135 Less Rumors to Find Someone
Chapter 135 Stop spreading rumors and go find someone
At first, everyone only discussed the matter privately.
Within two days, the news spread throughout the streets and alleys.
It is said that the regent embezzled the disaster relief money, so he killed the people in the ruined temple to silence them.
Deng Damu and the others started to get curious after hearing too much.
"Jinxiu, what do you think the regent looks like?
It is said that his face is like an Asura and his heart is like an evil ghost.
He is now near Wucheng, will he kill us all without stopping?
I've heard people say he's killed more people than I've ever eaten salt."
Li Zhaodi didn't want Su An'an to hear these bloody things, so she quickly covered her ears and hid them in her arms.
"How can he sleep at night after killing so many people? Aren't he afraid of being killed?"
Deng Damu snorted: "What is he afraid of? Everyone says he is the evil ghost..."
Su Afang listened with interest and her face was full of curiosity.
"The regent is an evil spirit? That ugly one!"
Su Jinxiu put the cooked dough into a small jar and handed it to Su Afang.
"Second Aunt, this is the last batch of facial fat.
After selling this batch, let's take a break.
You take Brother Shuan and go back to Kaoshan Village to stay for a few days.
I guess there will be trouble in the city."
After a pause, he looked at Deng Donkey again.
"Uncle Deng, you and Aunt Qiushui also go back and have a rest.
From now on, don’t discuss this matter in front of others or behind others.”
After saying that, she took out some money and handed it to them.
"Please prepare more food at home and don't run around unless necessary..."
Seeing Su Jinxiu acting like that, Deng Damu was a little puzzled.
"Jinxiu, we are not going to fight.
Why are you so nervous?
Is it possible that you heard something from the old prince?"
Su Jinxiu smiled and said nothing more than they did.
"I didn't even say a few words to the old prince, I just made a guess, so I'm prepared for anything, right?"
Just as he was talking, he saw Wang Jiu coming back.
Seeing someone in the courtyard, he quickly hid the things in his hands behind his back.
"Ah Jin, let me change my clothes first and then help."
Su Jinxiu pretended not to notice the small wooden box he hid behind his back.
"I'm done here, you can take a rest!"
After Wang Jiu entered the room, Su Jinxiu found Zhang Qiushui and took out a piece of red cloth.
"Auntie, I want to learn to embroider something."
Zhang Qiushui looked at the red cloth and wondered what else he didn't understand.
He took it over with a smile and taught Su Jinxiu how to embroider.
"It's time to embroider it, otherwise it won't be useful to cover your head when you get married.
Auntie will draw a pattern for you. When you look back, you can embroider according to it..."
Listen, it's quite simple.
It looks very simple.
But when it comes to actually doing it, my mind and hands each have their own ideas.
There are not as many needle holes in the hijab as there are needle holes in the hand.
In order not to let Ah Jiu know about it, she had to do this work secretly.
——————
After Deng Damu and the others returned to Kaoshan Village, a few people were missing from the restaurant.
Su Jinxiu and the others are busier than usual, and it is inevitable that they will be a little lazy sometimes.
On this day, the food was served a little slowly because of a table of guests.
Not happy anymore, they started making trouble on the spot.
"Are you afraid that Shopkeeper Su doesn't want to do this business? Do you know who this is?"
Su Jinxiu looked at these people a little unfamiliar. The person sitting in the upper seat was a young man, whom she really didn't recognize.
"I wonder who this is?"
The young man frowned slightly and looked at Su Jinxiu displeased.
The person beside him said proudly.
"This is the new manager Zhang of the Sun Mansion, a popular figure in front of the old lady and Mr. Sun.
If Shopkeeper Su makes Manager Zhang happy, he will want to enter the Sun Mansion to earn money in the future.
Isn’t that just a matter of a word from Manager Zhang? I advise Shopkeeper Su..."
Su Jinxiu did not continue to listen to the rest of the words.
"The new manager? What about the former manager Chen?"
The man was interrupted and his tone became increasingly bad.
"Manager Chen was not doing well in his work and was driven away two days ago. He was said to be returning to his hometown to retire.
I advised Shopkeeper Su to think about how to make Manager Zhang happy.
The dishes that the prince had eaten last time were served as they were by Manager Zhang."
Su Jinxiu was distracted and too lazy to deal with a few people.
He made an excuse and fooled a few people away.
Su Jinxiu didn't go out until night.
Wang Jiu was worried and wanted to follow, but Su Jinxiu refused.
She searched all the way to the Sun Mansion and asked the concierge.
Indeed, as those people said, Manager Chen returned to his hometown to retire a few days ago.
But the more she said this, the weirder Su Jinxiu felt.
Manager Chen said before that he is a loner.
After working as a steward in the Sun Mansion for so many years, I have already made this place my home.
The people in Sun's mansion also think highly of him and have been in charge of him for such a long time.
How could it be possible? Just change it if you ask for it?
Moreover, he left so quietly?
Su Jinxiu frowned and walked around the Sun Mansion.
Suddenly, I heard a wild dog barking in the alley.
"Woof woof woof, there's a tiger."
"Woof woof woof, so scared."
The wild dog hid in the corner of the alley with his tail between his legs.
But the alley was empty, there was nothing.
Su Jinxiu suddenly came back to her senses. That day, when she came to deliver tiger bone wine to Manager Chen.
The tiger bone wine was smashed by Manager Chen, and she calmed down.
Following the barking of wild dogs, we searched all the way and exited the city gate.
When we came to the river, the wild dogs and cats stopped barking and seemed to have suddenly lost their traces.
Su Jinxiu looked at the vast night and felt a little at a loss.
Suddenly, his eyes fell on a broken bridge over the river.
A new bridge was built across the river, and the broken bridge was abandoned there.
The bridge hole was dark, like a monster with an open mouth.
Su Jinxiu climbed into the bridge hole with great effort, and sure enough, she saw a bulging figure in the corner of the bridge hole.
"who?"
Hearing the movement, a cold light flashed, and Steward Chen was holding a dagger tremblingly.
His voice was hoarse and exhausted, and he was like a lamp that had run out of oil.
"I'm in charge."
Su Jinxiu shouted and hurried forward.
"you……"
As I got closer, I discovered a hideous wound on Manager Chen's neck.
Blood flowed all over his body, his face was like gold paper, and his breath was weak.
"Is this Jinxiu girl here?"
Manager Chen collapsed on the ground, unable to move.
"Steward, I will carry you to the doctor."
Su Jinxiu squeezed out some spiritual spring water to extend Steward Chen's life.
She wanted to carry him out of the bridge, but Manager Chen refused.
"It's useless. If you go out, you'll die."
Maybe the Lingquan water had an effect, and Manager Chen felt better.
He struggled to untie his clothes, took out an account book, and handed it to Su Jinxiu.
"Here, take this.
It must not be discovered.
Take it and give it to the regent, and it will protect you for the rest of your life.
Prosperity and wealth.”
Su Jinxiu flipped through it and saw clearly that it contained records of money transactions between Sun Mansion and others.
If it was just an ordinary exchange of money, that would be enough, but the amount of money on it was surprisingly large.
I thought of the recent rumors circulating in the city that the regent embezzled disaster relief funds.
She realized that the disaster relief money was probably not from the Regent, but from Mr. Sun's greed.
Manager Chen took a deep breath, his energy was exhausted.
"Go back, go back.
Go to your grandmother and ask her to protect you.
She saved my life, and I can only protect you until here..."
