Chapter 360: Trouble (Part 2)

Immediately, Yue Hongying continued to say angrily: "And Han Yi... has nothing. Even if he comes, what's the use? What problem can he solve?

I heard that this person is a taciturn person who is devoted to practicing martial arts and has no social skills. How can we expect him to solve the case?

It's better to report to the police! He is a drag. He is just like us, staring blankly."

"Hongying..." Tao Qingtang was speechless.

"Miss, who are you talking about..." At this time, the shopkeeper standing aside asked in confusion. He held the account book of last month's goods balance in his hand and was ready to report the inventory situation to the boss.

"Who else could it be?" Yue Hongying replied impatiently, "It's Han Yi from Jingtian Manor.

Uncle Fu, don't always worry about the store, pay more attention to Qingtang. You say, one thousand gold a month is like throwing money away, investing in a new disciple... Isn't this a joke?"

Zhang Fu, also an old man in Meihua Pavilion, followed Tao Qingtang's father and struggled for nearly ten years, watching Meihua Pavilion grow step by step and achieve the current business situation.

He wears a melon-shaped hat and a black jacket. He is in charge of various things in the main store of Meihua Pavilion on weekdays, and is considered the chief shopkeeper.

"This..." Zhang Fu smiled bitterly, "The man that the young lady has chosen must have her reasons..."

"What bullshit reason?" Yue Hongying cursed directly, "I think she is too easy to trust others.

When we met that day, he said whatever he said. He said he was short of money and needed an advance. Did you believe him?

I think that man clearly knew that he had no ability, so he made a big profit first. Anyway, he didn't care whether the problem could be solved or not.

You are the same. You work so hard every day and have no time to rest until the early morning. He took away half a year's profit at once. He is so shameless.

And you are also stupid. Just say you don't have money, or give him one more month. This is the first time I heard that half a year's advance was given at once... In the end, he couldn't even take out the travel expenses..."

She was angry in her heart. She felt that the investment Han Yi was not worth the price.

"Miss, the Han Ye from Jingtian Manor is here." At this time, a maid came closer and whispered.

"Okay, let's go together." Tao Qingtang stood up and dragged Yue Hongying and Zhang Fu to the door of the shop.

Not long after, a black carriage slowly drove in.

The driver lifted the black curtain and a man walked down.

It was still a familiar feeling.

Han Yi had a cold face and indifferent eyes. He was wearing a wide black robe and was tall and strong. He was faintly carrying a heavy sense of depression, like a lion who had just woken up and couldn't control his power.

He looked at Tao Qingtang in the front and said in a low voice: "I heard that Plum Blossom Pavilion was in trouble. What happened?"

"Come in." Tao Qingtang smiled and quickly took him to a small box on the second floor.

In the box, on one side was Han Yi, and on the other side were Tao Qingtang, Yue Hongying, and the shopkeeper Zhang Fu.

"These days, there are often people who come to our Plum Blossom Pavilion to deliberately make trouble..." Tao Qingtang told the recent events in detail.

In fact, it is similar to the letter, except that there are more details.

"That is to say, in serious cases, the secretly transported goods will be hijacked, and even in normal times, there will be unidentified ruffians causing trouble in the store?"

"Yes." Tao Qingtang nodded.

"What about reporting to the police?"

"No use, everything was over before the police came." Tao Qingtang shook his head.

"Is that so..." Han Yi thought, "When did the most recent one... happen? Location, witnesses?"

"It's all here." Tao Qingtang pointed to a pile of files on the table and the words of witnesses.

"In addition, Uncle Fu is the head of the Plum Blossom Pavilion. He has come into contact with such things several times. If you have any questions about the details, just ask him directly."

She introduced Zhang Fu, who was sitting next to her and smiling.

"I understand." Han Yi looked through the files carefully.

The hot steam from the tea was faintly dissipated, and the water temperature slowly dropped. As time passed, the four people were silent.

"Master Han, have you finished reading it? If you delay like this, the business of the store may be affected again." Yue Hongying finally couldn't help it.

Han Yi did not raise his head and continued to flip through the files.

Time passed slowly, and another ten minutes passed.

Tao Qingtang and Zhang Fu were fine, but Yue Hongying could not help her temper: "Uncle Han, can you do it? If not, just tell me earlier, I will find someone to help.

It's just such a small content, you can't finish reading it in half a day, and by the time you finish reading it, the store will be robbed."

Han Yi slowly closed the file and pushed it back.

Yue Hongying thought Han Yi was going to start doing something, but unexpectedly, he closed his eyes again.

This time, he closed his eyes for another ten minutes.

Yue Hongying slapped the table and stood up directly: "Can you do it, Uncle Han, give me a definite answer. If you can, you can act quickly. If not, I will find other brothers from Jingtianzhuang to come over."

"The goods outside the city were also targeted by others several times before, and there were accidents?" Han Yi looked at Zhang Fu, the big shopkeeper of Plum Blossom Pavilion.

"Yes, that happened a while ago." Zhang Fu answered carefully, "In the past few days, only a few stores in the city have had people come to cause trouble for no reason."

"Oh, which market are the affected shops in?"

"Most of them are in Baiqiaofang." Zhang Fu answered honestly.

Rushuifang is also an area that Meihua Pavilion attaches the most importance to, and it is also the place where it made its fortune.

Meihua Pavilion has more than a dozen branches in the whole Huayang City, and Baiqiaofang alone accounts for more than half of them.

"Baiqiaofang?" Han Yi raised his eyebrows, "Is there no other place?"

The Baiqiaofang side is the Meihua Pavilion headquarters, and it is also the store with the highest profit.

"Yes, but not many."

"Okay." Han Yi nodded and looked at Tao Qingtang, "Do you have a map?"

Tao Qingtang understood and took out a yellow scroll: "The general details of several surrounding markets are all in it."

Han Yi unfolded it and saw that the names of the blocks and the surrounding forces were clearly marked on the yellow paper.

He looked at Tao Qingtang with some surprise. Being able to prepare such things in advance is enough to show that she is thoughtful.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, please mark all the damaged shops." He handed the map to Zhang Fu.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, judging from your accent, you don't seem to be a local?" Han Yi suddenly asked while Zhang Fu was busy.

"Mr. Han is right. I came to Huayang City more than ten years ago. At that time, there were not as many branches of Plum Blossom Pavilion as there are now." Zhang Fu was stunned and responded immediately.

"Is that so..." Han Yi nodded and pointed to a few blank spots on the map, "Shopkeeper Zhang, are there any small gangs in the streets here?"
