Chapter 56 Two Brothers Chat
"Your shop will open soon, but there is no signboard yet. Why don't you ask your friend to make one for you?" Shengxia found an excuse to go to Zhang Mu's shop to take a look.
"Okay, the sun is really hot now, let's go to Brother Zhang's shop to rest." Xia Yanjing thought Shengxia's suggestion was very good.
"What do you plan to do with the four shops I gave you?" Shengxia looked at Xia Yanjing and asked curiously.
"I haven't checked yet. Are these four shops profitable? If they are, I won't touch them." Xia Yanjing is also a person who fears trouble.
"You have to ask Ye Zi about this. Now all my businesses are managed by Ye Zi, so I'm not too sure." Sheng Xia didn't know whether those shops were profitable or not. He just gave them to Xia Yanjing when he thought they were suitable while browsing the warehouse.
"It's okay, don't worry. Didn't Ye Zi go to buy the mine? Let's ask him when he comes back." Xia Yanjing walked side by side with Shengxia and fanned Shengxia diligently.
"Okay, the weather is getting hotter and hotter." Shengxia said, wiping the sweat from his head.
"Let's go back later and buy some saltpeter to make some ice," Xia Yanjing suggested.
"No, this general's mansion was given by His Majesty. Many servants inside don't know where it came from. We can't make ice in the general's mansion to prevent the news from leaking out." Shengxia stopped him.
"Do you have the indentures of those people?"
"Of course, we have to do enough superficial work as well."
"That's easy. Just find these people and hand them over to me. I will definitely help you deal with them." Xia Yanjing patted his chest and promised.
"Are you sure?" Shengxia was a little unconvinced.
"Of course, just wait and see." Xia Yanjing patted his chest and said confidently, his eyes full of confidence.
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you." Sheng Xia didn't care whether Xia Yanjing could do it or not. He just took his words and his affairs to heart, and he felt that this was enough.
The two came to Zhang Mu's shop. At this time, Zhang Mu was diligently fanning Lan Zhou. Zhang Mu felt that he was in the wrong last night, so he had to coax his husband.
The two men walked in and saw this scene. Xia Yanjing and Zhang Mu met eyes and looked at the fans in each other's hands.
So in order not to be outdone, the two of them slapped even harder.
"Brother Zhang, Brother Fu, I'm here to bother you again." Xia Yanjing said with a smile.
"What's there to bother you about? Come whenever you want. I welcome you." Zhang Mu said generously.
"Then I won't be polite to Brother Zhang." Although Xia Yanjing was chatting with Zhang Mu, he did not stop fanning himself with his hands.
"I wonder if you two have heard that the second young master of the Prime Minister's Mansion and several people who came to cause trouble yesterday were killed last night." Sheng Xia said directly to the point, carefully observing the reactions of the two people while speaking.
"What? That bastard is dead. It's really retribution." Zhang Mu said indignantly and relieved.
"That's such a coincidence." Lan Zhou pretended to be surprised, but his eyes were unusually calm.
Shengxia naturally noticed it, but Zhang Mu, standing in front of Lan Zhou, didn't notice anything unusual about Lan Zhou's behavior.
"Yan Jing, didn't you say you would make cold noodles for me? Why don't you make some at Brother Zhang's house? That way they can also taste your cooking skills. I wonder if you two can agree to it." Shengxia suggested.
"No problem, you can use the kitchen as you like." Lan Zhou agreed immediately.
"Okay, I'll make it right away." Xia Yanjing agreed immediately. Shengxia took the initiative to ask for food, so Xia Yanjing naturally would not refuse.
"Brother Zhang, come and help me." After all, when he is in someone else's house, it is better to have someone accompany him, and that person is only Zhang Mu.
After the two men left, Sheng Xia said straight to the point, "Lan Zhou, were you the one who did it last night?"
"Yes and no." Lan Zhou no longer pretended. He knew that since Shengxia asked them this question, she obviously knew something. Moreover, with Shengxia's current power, it was only a matter of time before the truth was found out. There was no need to continue covering it up.
"Oh? How do you say that?" Shengxia waited patiently for Lan Zhou's reply.
"I didn't do it myself. I sent my men to do it." Lan Zhou took a sip of tea and explained calmly.
"Aren't you afraid that I will report you?"
"You won't. First of all, your Sheng family and the Zhao family don't get along. Secondly, if you want to report me, it won't be as simple as just the two of you coming here alone. Besides, isn't it obvious that you asked them to leave?"
"You are right. I wonder what your relationship is with the Shadow Pavilion."
"That's all I can tell you." Lan Zhou obviously didn't want to say too much to Sheng Xia.
"Even if you don't tell me, I have guessed it a little bit. Although I don't know why the killer of Shadow Pavilion wants to marry an ordinary carpenter, if you dare to hurt my Yan Jing, I will destroy your Shadow Pavilion." Shengxia said here, looking at Lan Zhou dangerously.
"Don't worry, as long as your husband doesn't do anything to hurt my husband, I won't do anything to him." Zhang Mu is Lan Zhou's bottom line.
"I hope you will keep your word. By the way, what about the wine last night?" Shengxia changed the subject and looked at Lan Zhou sharply.
Lan Zhou looked a little uncomfortable and didn't dare to look Sheng Xia in the eye. Even though it was Zhang Mu who did something stupid, Lan Zhou still felt guilty.
"This is actually a misunderstanding. I hid the bottle of medicine under the bed, and somehow my husband found it and mixed it with the jar of wine." Lan Zhou explained weakly.
"That's really a coincidence." Whenever Sheng Xia thought about the embarrassment he suffered in front of Xia Yanjing last night, he wanted to beat Zhang Mu up.
"Haha, isn't it? Besides, you are husband and wife, so it's okay if you drink." Lan Zhou responded somewhat embarrassedly.
"It seems that your husband is not well and needs to use this medicine." Shengxia looked at Lan Zhou leisurely.
"My husband is very good." Lan Zhou couldn't bear to hear anyone say anything bad about his husband, so he quickly retorted.
"Yes, yes, yes." Shengxia responded perfunctorily.
Shengxia's attitude irritated Lanzhou, who slammed the table and stood up, wanting to fight with Shengxia. Seeing Lanzhou's posture, Shengxia also slammed the table and stood up, showing no sign of giving in. A big battle was about to break out.
"What are you two doing? It feels like you're about to fight." Zhang Mu felt that the two of them were like roosters about to fight.
"How could that be? We were so excited when we were talking about brotherly things just now. We are doing fine." Lan Zhou signaled Shengxia with his eyes not to spoil the fun.
"Yes, we were chatting and we were quite excited." Shengxia also responded at the right time.
"Husband, weren't you helping Mr. Xia make cold noodles? Why did you come out?" Lan Zhou quickly changed the subject.
"Brother Jing asked me to help make a plaque for his shop, and said he wanted General Sheng to write the inscription, so I came out to find you." Zhang Mu explained.
"I'll take General Sheng to write it, you go make the plaque first." Lan Zhou was afraid that Sheng Xia would suddenly catch him off guard, so they had to separate quickly.
"Okay." Zhang Mu didn't think much about it and went to make the plaque obediently.
