Chapter 350: Hypocritical



The two sat face to face. Rong Zhen didn't say anything for a long time, but just expressed his doubts.

"What? Is the prince suspicious of Zijun?" Huang Zijun suddenly became nervous, and even his tone became a little higher. At this time, Gu Yunru was about to ask someone to send some cakes and tea. She heard the conversation between the two at the door, which seemed not very friendly.

"Hush." ​​Gu Yunru looked at the bodyguards and maids behind her and put her index finger to her lips, asking them not to act rashly. She wanted to listen to what was being said in the room.

"Yes, I do suspect that someone is dishonest and has withheld the money. Do you know how important this money is to those soldiers?"

What Rong Zhen hated the most was this kind of petty theft. He had been in charge of the treasury for decades and there had never been any problem. However, today's accounting and inventory had led to some problems.

"Your Highness, Zijun has no grudge against you. Why do you want to put this on Zijun? Do you think it was Zijun who did it?"

His words were filled with cold and ruthless intent, his cold and gloomy eyes were full of displeasure, he could not tolerate such an unjust accusation, he had followed the prince since he was a child, fighting on the battlefield, he knew a lot of knowledge and details involved.

"I just want you to think carefully about where the missing silver went. Maybe you forgot?" Rong Zhen exuded a cold and solemn aura. Looking at his hawk-like eyes, Huang Zijun stood up suddenly and said, "A gentleman should do what he should do and not do what he should not do. What is the meaning of you framing me like this?"

When Gu Yunru heard the two people's tone, a tense atmosphere quickly spread, and she hurriedly led the maid into the door.

"Okay, okay, the two of you stop arguing and drink some tea to moisten your throat first." Gu Yunru said with a smile on her face and placed the cakes and tea on the table. The two of them still looked like they could get angry at the slightest provocation, and no one dared to mediate.

"A Zhao, this matter probably has nothing to do with Zijun. I believe that Zijun is not a person who would confuse right and wrong." Gu Yunru relied on her sixth sense and intuition to believe that Huang Zijun would not do such a despicable thing. "But the silver passed through his hands, so some of it was missed."

"This... could also be a misunderstanding. You can ask them to go back first. It's not too late to discuss this matter slowly." Gu Yunru gave Rong Zhen a wink. The two of them already had a tacit understanding and knew what the other was thinking at a glance.

"Okay, you go back first. If you find anything, tell me as soon as possible." Rong Zhen looked at the figure sitting there silently. The expressionless face was cold and indifferent, as if keeping people at a distance. Huang Zijun's complicated feelings were all engraved on his face. He left without saying a word.

Gu Yunru came and sat down beside him, and placed her fair hands on his shoulders, kneading them gently. "Does this make you feel better?"

"If someone is too nice to you for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief. Just tell me what you want." Rong Zhen had already seen through her little tricks. She must want something from him.

"How boring! I was just trying to please you. The food court is doing very well, but there is still something that needs to be fixed."

Gu Yunru said thoughtfully, stroking his chin and watching his expression.

"Hey, I want to ask you to lend me a few more people. There's always someone causing trouble recently. I believe this matter must have something to do with Kang Keren. Her Yue Man Lou business is pretty good now."

Since Kang Keren opened Yue Man Lou, many customers have been snatched away by her. I don’t know where the chef hired by Yue Man Lou is from. The food he cooks is so attractive! "Besides this?" The gloomy coldness in Rong Zhen's eyes disappeared in an instant, and turned into tenderness. When he saw Gu Yunru, his mood became much brighter.

"Let's go to Yuemanlou together some other day to try the food there. I've always been curious about where the chef of Yuemanlou is from?" Gu Yunru racked his brains but could not figure out the reason. Seeing that he looked worried, he must be worried about the military pay again.

"Don't be like that. The military pay will definitely be found. It's possible that General Huang accidentally missed it. The military pay comes from the national treasury, and there will be records of whoever it passes through."

Gu Yunru knew that this was a capital crime, and it was Rong Zhen's first time making a mistake, so he would definitely be in a panic.

"Um."

The next morning, Gu Yunru and Rong Zhen changed into ordinary people's clothes and walked to Yuemanlou. They saw a long queue at the door. This exaggerated scene was similar to that of the original Tianzi No. 1 Restaurant. However, the current Tianzi No. 1 Restaurant was very deserted.

Tianzi No. 1 Restaurant and Yuemanlou are only separated by a street, and the competition is very fierce. Seeing that there are not even any seats available, Gu Yunru had no choice but to pull Rong Zhen to the restaurant to sit down first.

"Hey, boss, this is the first time I see you coming!" Two waiters came forward with a giggle. Seeing the two of them walking forward together, they knew how slow the business was here. The customers here could be counted on fingers, as most of them went to Yuemanlou and would rather queue up in a long queue than eat here.

"What's going on with Xiao Zhou and Xiao Ma? It's such a big store, but there are not even a few customers." Gu Yunru pouted her cherry lips and looked around. She estimated that there were more than a dozen customers. There was no movement on the second floor, which used to be bustling with people.

"To answer the boss, since the opening of Yuemanlou this month, the two sides have been engaged in a price war. After the price war, we suffered a huge loss. Unexpectedly, the other party took the opportunity to raise the price again. Now they are overcrowded and every seat is occupied..."

Xiao Zhou was speaking with sweat on his forehead, it was true that restaurants were very quiet recently, even Ruyi Inn didn't have much business. If it weren't for some old customers who frequently visited there, the food business on this street would have closed down long ago.

"Yunru." Shen Aojun passed by the door and thought he had mistaken the figures, so he hurriedly walked in with Cui'er and prepared to greet the two. Gu Yunru quickly raised her hand and said, "Oh, no need for luggage. We are all ordinary people today. Please take a seat."

"good."

Shen Aojun sat down in front of the two of them with a look of joy on her face. Gu Yunru ordered a few side dishes and a jar of girl's red wine. The taste was perfect. Could it be that the food in Yuemanlou tasted better than that in her building No. 1?
