When Xia Chunyu came back from his shift, Ye Jiayao asked if there had been any famine anywhere recently.
Xia Chunyu said in astonishment: "Why do you suddenly ask this? Last year we had a good harvest, how can there be famine?"
Ye Jiayao smiled: "I'll just ask."
After dinner, Cui Dongpeng came again, saying that this was not the case in other families, only in the sky. Xiao Yang and the others quietly followed these beggars, but these people were from the southeast and northwest, and they didn’t know who to follow.
Ye Jiayao's expression became solemn, they were really a group of organized beggars!
It seemed that it would be difficult for her to handle it with her own hands.
Cui Dongpeng added: "Today's performance has been reduced by half. During dinner, some beggars even came to the store to beg for water. There were several tables of customers in the lobby who ate half of their meal and left without paying. Not happy, the brothers almost got angry and wanted to beat these beggars, but Brother Xiang stopped them."
Ye Jiayao nodded: "There can be no conflicts for the time being. These beggars must be being instigated by others if they dare to be so bold. If there is a conflict, I'm afraid they are falling into the trap of the other party. Go back and tell everyone that you can do your own work tomorrow." If they come again and give out steamed buns and buns as usual, I will find a way."
After the meal, Xia Chunyu chatted with Chunfeng for a few words before returning to his yard and casually asked Xiang Tao: "Where is the second young lady?"
Xiangtao said: "Cui Dongpeng is here, and the second young lady went to see him."
Xia Chunyu asked sensitively: "What is Cui Dongpeng doing here?"
Generally, people who live in heaven will not come here if there is nothing important.
"He came here before. It seems that there is trouble in the sky." Xiang Tao was not very clear.
Xia Chunyu breathed a sigh of relief, is there trouble in the sky? This is really surprising. Who is so bold and dares to cause trouble in heaven
Xia Chunyu turned around and went to the outer courtyard.
Walking halfway, he met Ye Jiayao. Ye Jiayao lowered her head and thought about something. She didn't see Xia Chunyu, but Qiao Xi did and called him Prince.
Ye Jiayao then raised her head: "Are you going out?"
Xia Chunyu looked at her worried look and asked, "What happened to Tianshangju? I heard that Cui Dongpeng came to see you."
"That's what I was going to tell you!"
The two of them said as they walked back.
After hearing this, Xia Chunyu cursed angrily: "Who the hell is this bastard who came up with such a damaging trick? If I catch him, I will kill him."
"I plan to go see the situation tomorrow. Maybe it's industry competition, but this method is too despicable." Ye Jiayao was also wondering who did it.
There is no possibility for Liuli. After the Lin family was divorced, she had left Jinling. I heard that she had gone to her hometown in Xuzhou. It was even more impossible for Prince Yu to use this method to deal with Tianshangju. Tianshangju was not qualified enough to let Prince Yu To deal with it, other than that, she really can't think of any other enemy who wants to deal with her. Therefore, Ye Jiayao believes that competition among peers is more likely. After all, Tianshangju is now known as the No. 1 restaurant in Jinling, and there are many jealous people. yes.
"Don't go with this matter. I happen to be on the night shift tomorrow and it's open during the day. I'll go." Xia Chunyu didn't want Ye Jiayao to deal with a bunch of stinky beggars.
So early the next morning, Xia Chunyu went to find Master Jiu and asked Master Jiu to lend him a few people to help him. Of course, Master Jiu didn't say anything and immediately assigned twenty of his subordinates to Xia Chunyu.
These little gangsters are familiar with each other, their identities are not noticeable, and it is convenient to do things. This is the reason why Xia Chunyu approached Jiuye to ask for someone.
You know, beggars also have territories and gangs. In this kind of organized action, the other party will definitely find the beggar leader first.
Xia Chunyu asked these little gangsters to find out which beggar gangs were involved in this incident. It would be best to find the beggar leader and secretly pay attention to whether the beggar leader was in contact with those people.
The twenty gangsters got the order and went into action energetically.
Being able to work for the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion is a job that no one can ask for. The second young lady of the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion is very generous with her gifts, and the reward is huge every time. Can we all not work hard
The net had been cast, and it was almost time for dinner. Both Xia Chunyu and Song Qi were dressed in casual clothes. They rented a boat on the river. They sat on the boat and seemed to be leisurely swimming around the lake. However, their sharp eyes were staring at the heavenly residence. in front of the door.
Sure enough, dozens of beggars came one after another from all directions and sat at the door of Tianshangju. Some were lying down to sleep, some were picking their feet, and some were catching lice. They were as disgusting as they wanted.
Xiao Lu and the others brought steamed buns and steamed buns, and they handed them over one by one. The beggars ate them as soon as they took them. After eating, they continued to pick their noses and feet.
When the passing guests saw this scene, they held their noses and took a detour, let alone eating in the restaurant.
Xia Chunyu felt so angry in her heart, what a damn loss!
It wasn't over yet. Finally, some customers entered the restaurant, and a few beggars stuck to them like dog-skin plasters to beg. The guests were so annoyed that they turned around and left.
"His grandma's son, I can't bear it anymore. I'm going to beat these stinky beggars to death." Song Qi was ready to go ashore, muttering.
Xia Chunyu glared at him: "Don't cause trouble for me."
I couldn't help but curse the eighteenth generation of the bastard ancestors who initiated this conspiracy.
"I can't swallow this breath," Song Qi said angrily.
"Who can swallow it? Is it any use if you go and beat them up? By then they will all be lying in the sky, and they will still come to extort medical expenses." Xia Chunyu said gloomily. Only by catching the mastermind can the problem be solved.
As soon as the meal was over, the beggars finished their work on time and dispersed one after another.
Xia Chunyu and Song Qi then got off the boat and went into the restaurant to have dinner.
Cui Dongpeng was cursing: "Damn it, I only did two tables of business at noon, so many ingredients were wasted."
Zhong Xiang patted him and comforted him: "Don't worry, this situation won't last long."
"We can't afford to lose even one day. It was already full, so how much money will we lose?" Wang Mingde felt heartbroken.
This is all free money, and everyone has a share in it!
Xiao Lu said angrily: "The most annoying thing is that we have to give them buns and steamed buns. I really want to get some arsenic in them and poison these ungrateful beggars to death."
"If you really want to do this, it will be as per other people's wishes." Xia Chunyu walked in with a sullen face.
"Your Majesty..." Everyone hurriedly saluted.
Xia Chunyu waved his hand: "No need to be polite, just bring me two dishes."
Wang Mingde hurriedly did it.
Xia Chunyu sat down in the lobby and said to everyone: "No matter how depressed you are, don't act rashly. The matter will be found out soon. When the time comes, whoever is responsible, we will pay you back twice as much."
With the words of the prince, the anger in everyone's hearts subsided a little. The prince has already taken action, but are you still worried that you can't punish these stinky beggars
Xia Chunyu had lunch slowly before going to the pre-arranged place to meet the gangsters.
This gang of gangsters was really efficient in their work. They got a lot of useful clues and found out the way in just one morning.
"My lord, it is true that someone is secretly manipulating the four major beggar gangs in the east, west, north and south of the city, and they take turns to cause trouble. Yesterday the ones who came were from the east of the city, today the ones who came are from the west of the city. Tomorrow they will either be from the north or the south of the city. "
"Your Majesty, I heard that they collected three rounds of deposits, fifty copper coins per person per day. If things are done well, there will be rewards."
"Your Majesty, I heard that they have further plans. If there is a conflict with Tianshangju, then all the beggars in the city will flock to Tianshangju to cause trouble."
"Your Majesty, I heard..."
Xia Chunyu's face became more and more ugly. This planner was so cunning. The four beggar gangs would last for twelve days after three rounds. After twelve days, all the guests of Tianshangju would be driven away. The most important thing is that the other party has already After paying three rounds of money, he will not contact these beggars again in the near future, which makes him unable to follow the clues.
He knew very well that even if he arrested these beggar leaders and interrogated them, it would be useless even if he asked what the people who came into contact with them looked like. They were hiding away, or they were inconspicuous people in the first place. Where would you find them? Arresting people will only cut off the clues.
A bunch of beggars are all low-life people. If you, the heavenly dweller, dare to fight and arrest you, they will blackmail you and entangle you without your life. Therefore, you, the heavenly dweller, have no choice but to suffer. There is nothing you can do to them.
The matter was more serious than he thought.
Xia Chunyu frowned and thought about it.
Song Qidao: "Master, this is not the way to go. These people are obviously here to cause trouble. Why don't we report it to the officials and let the officials arrest them, one by one."
Xia Chunyu shook his head and said, "Have you caught them all? Did you say they were making trouble? Who stipulated that beggars can't beg outside in the sky? It's useless. This is not a radical cure."
"Then what should we do?" Song Qi was extremely depressed.
One of Master Jiu's subordinates said: "Master, if you just want to calm down this matter, it would be easy. They are just making trouble for their own benefit. As long as they negotiate terms with the leader, they should be able to settle things, but they won't be able to catch the person in charge."
Xia Chunyu said: "It's nothing to talk about if you can't live with the person in charge."
He just had to find out this bastard before he was done.
"You guys should work hard and follow me tonight. If you have any clues, report them right away." After saying that, Xia Chunyu took out a bag of silver and said, "Thank you for your hard work, I'll use this little money to buy wine."
Everyone accepted the money with a smile.
Xia Chunyu went back and told Ye Jiayao about the situation. Ye Jiayao said, "You can't let that person lead you. In this way, I will ask Zhong Xiang to start serving porridge near Tianshangju in the afternoon. We have to stand up for this first. Literally, even if they make trouble again, we will still speak loudly."
"If they stay at the door again, it will be purely causing trouble. The government has reason to arrest them. Then, let Jiuye's people keep an eye on a few leaders. If things start to cause trouble, the other party will definitely have further contact with the beggar leader. At this time, we If we can arrest people, I don’t believe we can’t cure these people.”
Xia Chunyu thought for a while, his eyes widened, and he patted the table and said, "Yao Yao, your brain is better."
