The young man was shocked. He didn't understand why these people were so fine just now, but became unhappy when they talked about the Tai family selling cashmere.
Don’t these people want Tai’an County to get better?
He muttered in his heart, but his face showed a panicked apology. Then he quickly retreated and ran to the kitchen, ordering six of the most expensive dishes.
Finally, he used the excuse of having a stomachache to go to the toilet, opened the back door and went straight to Min's snack shop.
Everyone in the city knew that the old man of the Tai family killed the bandit Jiang Yang and the jackal, but what they knew more was that the old man Tai was good friends with the owner of the Min family's dim sum shop.
Those people were interested in the cashmere business and had ill intentions towards the Tai family. No matter how I thought about it, it felt wrong.
The boy would rather run an errand for nothing than to report the news! If he could be of help, he would feel relieved!
Manager Min was greeting guests when he saw a young man come in. Thinking he wanted to buy some snacks, he greeted him warmly, "Young man, would you like to buy some snacks? Are you looking for something to honor your family elders or a gift for the girl you like? Our snacks are all freshly baked, fragrant and sweet. Feel free to try them."
Unexpectedly, the young man avoided others and talked to him in whispers for a long time.
Manager Min nodded sullenly, then took out a piece of silver and stuffed it into the waiter's pocket, instructing him, "Although I don't know where these people came from, I have a feeling they're not good for Tai'an. Brother, please keep an eye on them. It's best to listen to what they say! If something serious happens, you'll be a hero of Tai'an!"
The young man took the silver and his eyes almost popped out of his eyes with joy.
Today is really a good day to make a fortune. In just a short while, I have already earned almost one or two taels of silver, which is more than a month's salary!
He nodded quickly, "Don't worry, Shopkeeper Min. I'll ask our shopkeeper for leave when I get back! I'll follow it from beginning to end, and then report back!"
After saying that, he ran away quickly!
Manager Min stood at the door and narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw that the young man had disappeared.
No wonder the old man of the Tai family urgently wanted to sell the knitting method of cashmere clothes. It turns out that someone really came here for this!
The person who came even brought guards with him, so his identity is definitely not simple!
Not to mention Manager Min's speculation, let's just say that when the waiter ran back to the restaurant, Mr. Zhou's wine and food had just been served.
The food in the north is not as exquisite as that in the south, but it is rich in oil and salt, and most of the ingredients are meat. On a cold winter day like this, you can quickly restore your strength by eating a meal after a long journey.
Even though Mr. Zhou was unhappy, at least he was full.
While waiting for the guards and followers to eat, he chatted with the diners next to him, asking about the cashmere business.
The diners thought he was an outsider who had come to Tai'an to buy cashmere clothes, so they were very enthusiastic and told him everything they knew. But their stories were no different from the waiter's!
This dispelled some of Mr. Zhou's doubts, but he still refused to accept it. After all, this was too much of a coincidence.
Just as he was about to come over to "fight for" the unique business of cashmere clothing, the Tai family turned the unique business into a well-known business in the whole county!
It was as if the Tai family knew the news in advance and set a trap for him.
But the Tai family is just an ordinary farming family. They are lucky enough to be able to make cashmere clothes. They simply don’t have the ability to place their “spies” in the palace and around the nobles.
Not to mention the Tai family, even the Taian County Magistrate doesn't have this ability...
With these questions in mind, after dinner, Mr. Zhou and his group quickly paid the bill and left.
The young man hurriedly followed, using the excuse that he had a severe stomachache and wanted to see a doctor, and followed the carriage out of the city.
Needless to say, the carriage was heading towards Taijia Village in the south.
The young man couldn't keep up with the carriage, and just when he was getting anxious, the carriage suddenly broke into a frantic run on the dirt road. The horses even turned around and ran back towards the county town.
Some people entering and leaving the city and their carriages watched from afar and screamed in fear.
"Oh, stop this carriage!"
"Help! Help!"
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
The soldier guarding the gate was originally lazy and casually checking the baskets of the people. When he suddenly looked up, he was shocked to death.
This carriage had just been given a badge from the Third Prince's Mansion. The attendants driving the carriage were so proud that they almost looked down on them. They didn't dare to ask any more questions and let them pass immediately.
How come the carriage came back in less than half a cup of tea?
Was he robbed or assassinated?
Someone with sharp eyes shouted, "Oh, is there a weasel biting the horse's neck?"
"Yes, yes, it's the weasel!"
"No wonder the horses went crazy, what's going on?"
The people all hid under the city walls. Perhaps they felt that there was no danger anymore, so they all started talking loudly.
The two guards rode their horses to chase the carriage, but unfortunately, the horses went crazy and ran as fast as lightning, and they could not catch up.
The attendants and the driver on the shaft of the carriage were dizzy from the shaking. If they had not held on to the board tightly, they would have gone to see the God of Land long ago!
In the carriage, Mr. Zhou's brain had been shaken into a bowl of real "porridge"!
He desperately shouted, "Stop, stop now!"
Unfortunately, how could the horses listen to humans? The vicious weasel understood what was said, finally loosened its mouth, and disappeared into the grass.
The driver struggled to get up and pulled the loose reins.
Everyone's heart was in their throat, because the carriage was only five or six feet away from the moat, and it would be easy to fall in if they were not careful!
The driver really put in a lot of effort, almost climbing onto the horse, and finally...
Finally, the horse was pulled up and raised its front hooves, then turned around and stopped suddenly.
“Saved, saved!”
"That's so scary, ouch!"
Everyone couldn't help but pat their chests and breathed a sigh of relief.
But at this moment, a person suddenly flew out of the car window due to inertia and fell into the moat with a plop!
The city gate instantly returned to deathly silence, and the two guards finally arrived, shouting loudly, breaking everyone's astonishment!
"Hurry up and save them! Save them!"
"Sir, sir!"
The two guards hurriedly took off their swords and jumped into the moat.
The rest of the soldiers guarding the gate and the civilians finally came to their senses and started looking around for anything they could find like headless flies.
Some people went to move ladders, some went to break tree forks, and some even went to find ropes!
For a moment, there was chaos at the city gate, and then the crowd rushed to the river.
The moat was not originally deep. After all, it was a small county town in the north, not as deep as the provincial capital in the south. But it was about five or six feet deep, and one foot of it was silt!
The two guards searched everywhere in the river, and people on the shore stretched out branches and threw ropes, ready to lend a hand.
However, there was no sign of Mr. Zhou on the water!
The two guards were terrified, and the coachman and his followers had red eyes and shouted at the top of their lungs.
"Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhou!"
Perhaps he had heard everyone's shouts, and Mr. Zhou finally appeared three meters away. But everyone's faces changed after just one look!
