Chapter 68 Kill Them All
Of course, Gu Feixue still followed and also discovered on the way that the ox cart was not only slow in delivering milk, but also easily caused the milk to spill due to the bumpy road.
These are all losses for the Gu family, and Gu Feixue cannot accept it.
So when they arrived at Zuixianlou, he suggested to Manager Bao that he should send his servant to Gu's house to pick it up in person every morning.
Zuixianlou has a special horse-drawn carriage for delivering food, which is naturally much more stable than the Gu family’s ox-drawn cart.
Although it took some effort, Bao Hongcai immediately agreed when he heard that the Gu family could make a new dish in a few days.
After the issue of profits was settled, the Gu family returned to Anju Village without further delay.
"Mom and Dad, do you think Qian Youliang will do something to us behind our backs after he finds out we sold our food to Zuixianlou?"
Gu Feixue still had some concerns. After all, they had a grudge against Qian Youliang. Although Qian Youliang didn't know it, it was her, Gu Feixue, who gave the prefect the idea to cheat the gentry of their food.
Fortunately, the only people who knew about this at the time were the prefect, Duke Zheng, and Yuchi Shuo's men, otherwise they would not know how to deal with the Gu family in secret.
Wang Shi reached out and hugged Gu Feixue in her arms, comforting her: "You have your parents to protect you in everything, Xue'er, don't worry."
Upon hearing this, Gu Feixue nodded and rubbed Wang's chest affectionately.
But she was thinking that if Qian Youliang caused trouble again, she would sneak into Qian's house in the middle of the night and make his life miserable.
For three consecutive days, Gu Feixue would go to Zuixianlou to discuss new food with Manager Bao. Every time she returned to the village, she would have a stamped decree in her hand.
During this period, Prefect Liang learned the news and specially found Zuixianlou and Gu Feixue to reminisce about the past.
This action finally reminded Bao Hongcai that he had indeed met Gu Feixue and Gu Tingchuan before, and they were also accompanied by important figures such as Duke Zheng and the prefect.
After observing Governor Liang's attitude towards Gu Feixue, Bao Hongcai dared not look down on the Gu family. Every day when he asked his servants to go to the Gu family to collect milk, he would often send some food that the children liked as well.
So the little kids in Anju Village had a treat. Gu Feixue distributed the snacks sent by Zuixianlou to the children in the village, and accidentally learned a lot of gossip about other families.
Qian's house.
"Idiot! Haven't you found those troublemakers yet? I'd rather have a dog than you!"
A man with a bruised face and nose shouted angrily at his men.
This person was none other than the housekeeper Wang who had been severely beaten by Tian Dali and his men a few days ago. The man lying on the ground begging for mercy also had bruises on his face that had not yet healed.
"Butler Wang, calm down. Although I didn't find this troublemaker, I did find something strange."
Butler Wang narrowed his triangular eyes and said, "What's the weird thing? Tell me!"
"For some reason, business at Zuixianlou has suddenly picked up a lot these past few days. Customers flock to patronize the restaurant every day. I sent someone to investigate, and they say it's all because Zuixianlou has introduced a lot of new delicacies."
"Eat, eat, eat! Just think about eating!"
Wang Mazi was about to kick the man without thinking, but he heard the man on the ground say in a trembling voice:
"I haven't finished yet, but the new food from Zuixianlou is actually all milk-related! There's even a food called yogurt. I remember that the sour milk those troublemakers used to throw at people was exactly the same as what I bought from Zuixianlou!"
Wang Mazi retracted his foot, his face darkening. "Could it be that these unruly people have hooked up with Bao Hongcai?"
This was a difficult situation. Who was Bao Hongcai, the owner of Zuixianlou? He was from Jiangzhou, a member of the Bao family of Jiangzhou Prefecture!
The people in Liangcheng didn't know Bao Hongcai's background, but when he met Zong Hao with Qian Youliang before, he had heard that the Bao family was not simple.
The Bao family's restaurant has roots in Jiangzhou. Now that the Gu family has attached themselves to Bao Hongcai, it is equivalent to attaching themselves to Zuixianlou. He has no way to deal with the Gu family.
Thinking of Qian Youliang, Wang Mazi couldn't help but feel contempt.
I originally thought that by following Qian Youliang, I could at least live a good life.
Who would have thought that the Qian family is now so poor that he needs to take his servants out to rob every day.
He also thought about how long ago, after Qian Youliang returned home with many unfamiliar faces wearing the Qian family's servant uniforms, the other party had a high fever for several days in a row.
Later I woke up, but I was still confused and dazed every day, as if I had gone crazy.
He even ignored the concubines who came to his house every night for fun. Although these concubines were very beautiful and had brought him, Wang Mazi, it was not a good thing to continue like this.
His indenture is still in Qian Youliang's hands!
"Butler, why don't we tell the master about this..."
Hearing this, Wang Mazi showed a mocking expression:
"Master? There is only one master in the Qian family now, and it's not Qian Youliang."
Although Qian Youliang had lost all his wealth, he still had this valuable house and the indentures of many servants, which were worth hundreds of taels of silver in total.
The man below instantly understood what Wang Mazi meant when he heard this. He then stood up, without any trace of his previous panic. Instead, he whispered in Wang Mazi's ear with a cunning look on his face:
"If Steward Wang wants to truly become the master of the Qian family, he should let Qian Youliang and the Gu family fight. After they are both defeated, the Qian family will naturally belong to Steward Wang."
When Wang Mazi heard this, greed flashed in his eyes.
Qian Youliang's bedroom.
"Master, get up and eat."
Qian Youliang, who was lying on the bed, had a dull look in his eyes. After a while, he sat up and was about to go out without even putting on his shoes.
Wang Mazi felt even more contemptuous upon seeing this. It seemed that Qian Youliang was really useless. He just didn't know where the Qian family's land deeds and indentures were kept.
Greed flashed in his eyes, but Wang Mazi pretended to be respectful and helped Qian Youliang to the dining table.
"Why are there only pig feeds?" Qian Youliang looked at Wang Mazi angrily with a gloomy look.
Wang Mazi looked helpless: "Master, you don't know, these days when we went out to buy food, those unruly people not only refused to sell it to us, but also beat us up!"
Qian Youliang's face darkened upon hearing this, and he fiercely questioned:
"Who beat you up?!"
Wang Mazi's eyes flashed with success, and then he said what he had prepared.
"Among those unruly people, there's a family named Gu who's the most rampant. Not only did they collude with the people in the Horse and Carriage Market to beat us up, they also threatened to beat us up whenever they see anyone from the Qian family!"
After Wang Mazi finished speaking, his tone became even more angry:
"They even said that even if you, the master, go there, they will beat you to death!"
I don't know which word he heard, but Qian Youliang instantly went crazy and lost his mind. He glared with fierce eyes and roared:
"You're looking for death! Kill them all!"
Wang Mazi saw that his goal had been achieved, but he immediately showed a helpless look:
"But, that scoundrel from the Gu family has hooked up with Bao Hongcai of Zuixianlou in the city. We might not be able to do anything to them! Unless..."
"Unless what?!"
Qian Youliang had lost his mind at this time. As soon as he heard the word death, the fear of death that had shrouded him for days instantly occupied his mind.
