Chapter thirty-five looks loyal

Xiao Fan didn't expect that his father-in-law was such a fragile man.

So after Chen Siliu fainted, Xiao Fan had to instruct his servants to ask the doctor to rescue him immediately, and then walked away with awkward touching his nose.

He felt very unhappy. He originally planned to ask for reward from his father-in-law next. After all, someone smashed the Chen family's store, and Xiao Fan helped the Chen family to avenge him. He dare not say the credit. At least he was a bit hard work, right?

Chen Siliu was dizzy in time. Xiao Fan wondered if he had guessed what he was going to say next, so he pretended to faint at the right time.

The facts once again prove that the richer the more stingy the more you are.

*********************************************

In the next few days, Jiangpu County seemed very calm, with a strange calmness, and a feeling of depression that a storm was about to come.

Huang Magistrate Huang still cursed Captain Liu in the yamen every day. The murderer who knocked on his son was not found yet. Huang Magistrate Huang had only one son, so of course he had to spend a lot of effort to avenge his son. Therefore, in recent days, except for this major case, Huang Magistrate Huang had no intention of caring about other things. He only suffered from Captain Liu in the yamen. Every day, he was scolded by Huang Magistrate Huang at the yamen. After the scolding, he led the yamen's constable and yamen runners to the streets to investigate, wandering around like a group of headless flies.

The headmaster was scolded and was full of resentment and always had to find a place to vent, so the people below were having a hard time. Under such a cycle, Jiangpu County began to enter a period of crackdown. The gangsters who wandered on the streets were in trouble. The constables ignored whether they committed the crime or not, and took them to the prison without asking any questions. The security of Jiangpu County was unprecedentedly good, and they could be described as "no way to pick up the doors and no doors closed at night."

Comrade Xiao Fan, the initiator of all this, was unaware that he had devoted all his thoughts to his career.

It is said that serious men are the most handsome, and this is really reasonable. Xiao Fan has looked in the mirror more and more frequently recently. If he continues to be handsome with such progress, why should he strive for his career in the future? Qing waits for the rich women to break their heads and support himself.

A group of head-in-law outside looked for the murderer with a pale face, but Xiao Fan was busy decorating the Zuixian Tower.

The empty lobby has been replaced with a batch of new water willow wooden tables and chairs, imitating the somewhat chaotic layout of the cafe in the previous life. It is arranged in groups of three or three. A two-meter-square wooden table has been built on the east side against the wall. The table is covered with red carpets and the counter wine racks have been replaced with new ones. The whole lobby looks magnificent and noble.

At the same time, Xiao Fan also hired nearly ten shop assistants with quick hands and flexible eyesight and three chefs. Everything was about to stop working and was about to open again.

During the renovation, Manager Zhou from Jinyulou opposite him came over to see him, and then exchanged a few words with a smile on his face. Manager Zhou spoke very politely, but the meaning in his words was not very polite. He expressed his contempt and said that Jinyulou is a restaurant with a deep background. Even if you are renovated into a paradise, no one in Jiangpu County dares to come to you for dinner, so don’t waste your energy.

Manager Zhou’s words reminded Xiao Fan that if the business of Zuixianlou wants to make a comeback, he must first put down Jinyulou, a competitor.

So, after Manager Zhou sneered and said goodbye, Xiao Fan fell into deep thought.

At this time, Taixu, who looked like a fairy-like Taoist trait, walked in.

Taixu's life has not been easy recently. The murderer who knocked Huang Yanei in the city was arrested. The old Taoist Taixu felt very stressed. He lived in his 130s and had already experienced the weather and saw through the world. But until he met Xiao Fan, he was shocked that he felt that these more than a hundred years old seemed to have lived in vain. A young man under twenty years old led a centenarian to the abyss of depravity step by step, and went further and further on the road of crime...

The scammer who tells fortunes and cheats money to make a living has changed his career and is not good at knocking people. What's more, the one who knocks is the young master of the magistrate. Taixu has never done such a silly thing in the past hundred years. He is increasingly suspicious that Xiao Fan deliberately acts as a gunman that night. The boy looks gentle, but Taixu deeply discovered that a person's appearance is too deceptive. The boy's stomach is full of bad water, and he is always bubbling, so he must be careful.

These days, Taixu was slept in Zuixianlou. Taixu was familiar with everything. When he came in, he saw Xiao Fan sitting at the table in contemplation and dazed. Taixu was not polite, so he sat next to Xiao Fan, picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea, drank it all, and then wiped his mouth randomly.

"Hey, what are you thinking?"

Xiao Fan came to his senses and saw Taixu looking at him. There was some concern in his eyes. Xiao Fan was slightly moved. This was his first friend after he came to the Ming Dynasty and the only friend he had made so far.

"Oh, nothing, I closed the stall so early today? How's the business? How many people have you deceived?"

Taixu sighed, "Don't mention it, the business is good. The girl with a slut face asked about marriage, the poor scholar asked about fame, and the old man who was about to die asked about birthday... There are all kinds of people, and there are all kinds of things in the world."

Xiao Fan bowed perfunctorily and said, "Congratulations to Taoist Master. The Taoist Master has only been in Jiangpu for a few months and has opened up the fooling market in Jiangpu County. It is really gratifying..."

Taixu sighed and said, "The business is really good, but I don't have the heart to open my mouth to lie! Brother Xiao, the news has been very tight recently. I heard that Captain Liu has caught a lot of thugs these days, just for that night..."

Xiao Fan coughed loudly, Taixu was shocked, and he quickly glanced left and right, shut his mouth.

Xiao Fan changed the topic and advised with great sincerity: "How can you not have the heart to do such a good business? Taoist priest, you must be diligent in life. It is not easy to make money in this world. Someone is here to let you fool you. If you are the slaughter, you will be slaughter..."

Taixu looked bitter: "Maybe I was in a bad state today, so I just fooled me a few words, but I offended the customer. After thinking about it, I should just close the stall as soon as possible. If you talk nonsense, maybe someone would smash my sign..."

Xiao Fan said curiously: "How did you fool me?"

"I was in a bad mood, so I told the girl who was macaque that if you ask about marriage, I would first find a whetstone to smooth my face, and then told the poor scholar that I will fail the imperial examination next year, and you will gradually get used to it..."

Xiao Fan's eyes widened: "Master, your mouth is so... so straightforward!"

Taixu patted his thigh and sighed, "I am worried and scared. How can I care about others? But to the old man who is about to die, I have accumulated virtue and said nothing..."

"The Taoist priest is kind-hearted..."

"Where? Although I didn't say a word, I pointed to the coffin shop across the street. The old man cried on the spot, crying so sadly..."

Xiao Fan: “…………”

"Don't they beat you up?"

Taixu said proudly: "I know how to use light skills, have you forgotten?"

Xiao Fan was amazed. He was awesome with martial arts. He was not afraid of offending others. Anyway, he ran away if he was scattered and others couldn't catch up. He was really a crime and a good aftermath tool for causing trouble...

Taixu sighed for a while, then put his nervous expression in Xiao Fan's ear and said, "Brother Xiao, you said... Mr. Huang's case, the police in the yamen would not catch us, right? I remember that night we first covered Mr. Huang's head with a sack, and then knocked the stick. Mr. Huang probably didn't see our face..."

"Master, don't worry, this matter is done perfectly, and the yamen can't find us..."

Xiao Fan comforted him casually, looked at Taixu's nervous old face, and suddenly laughed, laughing treacherously.

He suddenly had another not very kind idea...

It's so strange, why can he always give him such bad inspiration whenever he sees Taixu? Taixu should carefully review his appearance.

"Master, are you hungry? I'm here to treat you to dinner." Xiao Fan acted more sincerely than the wolf grandmother.

Taixu sneered: "You are the shopkeeper of the restaurant. Which meal is not yours? Stop talking nonsense. I still eat dog meat hotpot today. Let you cook make it..."

"Master, I'm going to eat in Zuixianlou, and it's time to change my taste. If the Taoist priest doesn't give up, how about I'll invite you to have a meal elsewhere?"

"where?"

Xiao Fan chuckled and pointed to the magnificent Jinyulou opposite, "Master, I heard that the sauce elbow of Jinyulou is a master of Jiangpu. Do you want to try it?"

Taixu swallowed his saliva. As soon as he nodded, he saw Xiao Fan with a treacherous look on his face. Taixu became alert.

"What are your intentions?" After all, the centenarian birthday boy did not live all his life into the dog's belly, and immediately felt that there was a conspiracy.

Xiao Fan said sincerely: "Just just eat, Taoist Master is too worried. I have read a few books of sages and have always been open and upright. How could I do that slutty thing? Taoist Master, you must believe in my personality."

Taixu spat and said, "Jinyulou is your enemy of Zuixianlou. You will never interact with each other. If you have nothing to do, you will go to Jinyulou for dinner. I don't believe you have no intention. I have long seen that you are a villain who seems loyal but is actually treacherous. Now you must be thinking about how to plot against Jinyulou..."

Xiao Fan coughed twice: "The Taoist priest said this, it is unfair to be accused of his grace. In fact, he is a scholar. All scholars have received teachings from sages... After saying so much, will the Taoist priest go? Jiang Zhangzi waved to the Taoist priest..."

"Go! Why don't you go! If you don't go, you're a bastard!... No matter how you plan to Jin Yulou, I don't care. Anyway, I just care about food and drink, and never get involved in the grudges. If I find something wrong, I can do light skills and run away if I run away, hehe..."

"The Taoist priest is really righteous..."
