After being thrown to the ground, the boss leaned against the wall and gasped for breath.
Chi Mu did not change back to his normal state, still using the form of Quetzalcoatl to stare coldly at his boss.
Seeing that he had almost recovered, she slowly spoke: "Rice flower cake, you asked the boss lady to make it, right?"
"It's me! It's me!"
The boss was terrified, his eyes full of fear.
Given his performance, Chi Mu was very disappointed. With his courage, it was almost impossible for him to be the real mastermind.
Anyone who can handle such a big case must be very brave and courageous like my boss.
"Who gave you the idea to use rice cakes instead of silver? You only have one chance. If I find out that you are lying to me, you will never have the chance to talk to me again."
When the boss heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat.
"Qiao San! It was Qiao San. He was the one who gave me this idea!"
Chi Mu heard an unfamiliar name from the boss.
Qiao San?
Who is this?
The copy had been going on for three days, but Chi Mu had never heard of this name.
"Who is Qiao San? Is he a captain in the Imperial Guard, or a higher position?"
"No, no, no, he is not from the Jinyiwei, he is just an ordinary groom..."
groom?
Chi Mu was even more surprised when he heard the identity of Qiao San.
How could a mere groom order his boss to do such a thing?
Although the boss's identity was not that impressive, he was still a successful businessman who opened a tavern and a cake shop in Chang'an City.
How could he be ordered around by a groom?
"You want to die, don't you? You are a big boss, but you are ordered around by a mere groom? Do you think I am a fool?"
Seeing Chi Mu's expression become ferocious again, the boss was so scared that he quickly protected his thighs: "Don't worry, don't worry, just listen to my explanation..."
"Yes, under normal circumstances, I would never listen to a groom who didn't even have the chance to meet me.
But a few years ago, I went to Hongchen Pavilion to play and was seen by Qiao San. He wanted to tell the one in my family about this.
The one in my family is different from other women, she has a very hot temper! If she knew that I was hanging out with people outside, I would be in big trouble.
In order to prevent this matter from being exposed, I could only ask Qiao San not to tell her about it. Qiao San made a condition, as long as I can sell a kind of flower cake that is not usually available in the flower cake shop, and only sell it to the person he specifies.
I thought, there is no loss, so I just agreed to it. Later, Qiao San not only did not tell my wife about this matter, but also sent me 5,000 taels of silver every month.
You know, my pub and cake shop don’t make that much money in a month’s operation, so why not do it?
From then on, I asked my wife to make rice cakes in the cake shop and sell them to those who have the identity of Qiao San. The most important thing is that I can receive 5,000 taels of silver every month, and I don’t have to spend money to go to Hongchen Pavilion...”
The boss told Chi Mu everything about his acquaintance with Qiao San and his change in mentality.
After hearing this, Chi Mu couldn't help but gasp.
I didn't expect the reason would be like this.
The most important thing is, from the boss's description of Qiao San, he found that this groom Qiao San seemed to be the sloppy man he met on his first day working in the cake shop.
At that time, Chen Sheng happened to be scolding Lin Shan, and Qiao San even turned around to look at Chen Sheng on purpose.
Later, Chen Sheng died.
His death was very strange. It didn't seem like some chosen one wanted to obtain his identity and killed him.
It was more like he had offended someone and his enemies came to him to seek revenge.
Combining these two things, Chi Mu deduced that Chen Sheng’s death was most likely related to Qiao San, and the power behind him was beyond imagination.
But in the final analysis, Qiao San was just a groom, and it was even less likely that he was the mastermind behind the whole thing.
Even people like the boss are just chess pieces. Qiao San is just a groom, so it is even more impossible for him to be a chess player.
I'm afraid Qiao San was also assigned a task at that time, and happened to meet the boss in Hongchen Pavilion. He immediately chose the boss as his next client.
"Where is this Qiao San usually? How do you contact him?"
"We don't keep in touch normally. He only comes to my tavern for a drink and gives me five thousand taels of silver when he sends money every month.
Other than that, we don’t keep in touch at all. I basically won’t ask about the rice cakes, and my family can just sell them.”
As he spoke, a smug look appeared on the boss's face.
He seemed to feel that he was very comfortable being a hands-off boss.
"By the way, if you want to know where Qiao San is, I can show you the way. I can't tell you where he lives, but he's just like me, he loves drinking and women, and he always goes to Hongchen Pavilion when he has nothing to do.
This guy is also rich, probably given by the one behind him, so he has an exclusive private room in Hongchen Pavilion and only orders the signature courtesan! "
The boss seemed to remember something and spoke quickly.
Now, Chi Mu has obtained all the information he wanted from his boss.
So this boss has no effect anymore.
Seeing Chi Mu was about to leave, the boss breathed a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, Chi Mu, who had already taken a step forward, suddenly turned around and looked at him coldly, as if he was looking at his prey.
“If we kill the boss, even if a chosen one comes here to investigate later, he won’t be able to get this clue.
Logically speaking, if the Supreme Angel got ahead of me, he would not have failed to think of this. He would definitely kill the boss directly, and he or his subordinates would become this person.
