After marrying sick Yangzi, I made my whole family rich

Chapter 541 Reason for being robbed

Xu Mengxiao didn't know this yet, so she checked Lin Gui's pulse and asked him to take medicine again.

Lin Gui, who had already woken up, didn't know that she was checking her pulse and didn't care. He just quickly talked about what happened on his way back.

Including being robbed by water thieves and kidnapped by mountain bandits who colluded with them. They originally wanted to kidnap him and make his family pay a large sum of money for ransom.

But Lin Gui refused to tell any information about his family and Taoyuan Township, for fear of being blackmailed more or putting others in danger.

So they punished him severely for several days, trying to get him to let go.

Lin Guidu just endured it silently, pretending that he couldn't hold on anymore, and then ran away when he found an opportunity when they weren't paying attention!

"It's a pity that I was injured, otherwise I could have escaped... After being recaptured by them, they also annoyed them. Their boss didn't bother to bother with me, thinking that I was just a guy who had no money and was pretending to be fat. Ordinary people just want to slap me."

Lin Gui was still a little frightened when he talked about it now, but after he was out of danger, his tone and expression became much more relaxed.

Xu Mengxiao frowned when she heard this. When she went to Jiangnan, she went with a group of officials from the city. There were also officials protecting her at that time. Nothing went wrong. When she came back, Lu He sent many people to stay with her. Shipside Escort.

Almost except for the assassination incident of Xin Miaoyan, she encountered no danger at all, which made her think that this was a peaceful and prosperous age with no thieves or bandits.

"Bandits and water pirates are arrogant and prevalent, but the court never controls them, which makes them more and more rampant. Especially on the water lines to the south of the Yangtze River, they are full of dangers and traps everywhere. I originally thought they were them. You are exaggerating, I didn’t expect that I actually encountered it and almost lost my life!”

In this way, Daxing under Chu Hengyi's governance is really not ordinary mediocre and decadent. There is also a treacherous minister Zuo Xiang who secretly controls the government and is corrupt.

Today's prince is incompetent. Even though he seems to be a good person, he can't fight against these people at all, and he behaves like a idiot.

Lu He couldn't accept such a person, and Xu Mengxiao could completely understand that she was suffering from a bit of stupidity.

Besides, the second prince Chu Zhao is not a good person. If he ascends the throne, it may be even worse than when Chu Hengyi takes the throne!
His temperament is more violent and greedy, but he does not have enough resourcefulness and calmness to match. He is ambitious and does not care about the life and death of the people and only wants to realize his own ambitions.

It seems that he is still the fifth prince. He has the gentleness and kindness of the prince, but also the resourcefulness that he does not have. He has the decisiveness of the second prince, but does not have his willfulness. He can be regarded as a good monarch after all.

Xu Mengxiao is worried that if the country continues to develop like this, it will be useless no matter how big his business is in the future.

No matter how good the business is, if the country's foundation is damaged from within, and it is coveted by other countries and tramples on its mountains and rivers, it will be difficult to save one's life, let alone live a life that is respected and carefree.

"Then we have to be careful from now on. We must bring a group of guards and enough weapons when traveling."

Xu Mengxiao cherishes her own life, and also cares about the life and death of these friends and partners. If any of them is gone, it will be a great loss to her.

"Fortunately, Lu He showed up in time, otherwise I would have died outside for no reason. It was such a coincidence that he appeared just when I was about to die." Lin Guidu felt that he was lucky, but it was also Xu Mengxiao. He and Lu He could think of him in time and have the ability to find him.

Otherwise, no matter how lucky he is, he still has to die outside?
"Hey, no matter what, I, Lin Gui, owe you my life. I can't repay such a huge favor. I will do whatever you ask me to do in the future!"

"Don't get excited, just lie down. I've asked someone to call your family over. It'll be better to have your family around to take care of you. When you're almost recovered, go home." Xu Mengxiao held him down. .

Lin Gui couldn't move around after being injured like this. Xu Mengxiao's house was very big, with several courtyards and enough guards and servants.

Therefore, it is not a problem at all for Lin Gui's family to come and stay for a while to take care of Lin Gui.

Xu Mengxiao has dealt with the Lin family before. Although they are not familiar with them, they are all easy to talk to.

Lin Gui was still thinking about the crayfish business, "I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up now. You don't know how disgusted and scared everyone was at first. But after eating it, they became crazy about it and the business immediately exploded." !" "Jiangnan is developed, business is booming, and there are many novel things. The people are very receptive, so they can accept some strange things quickly." Xu Mengxiao said, for them , crayfish are not just weird things.

The same crayfish may not have such good results if placed in Los Angeles.

"So don't rush it for a while. When it spreads in Jiangnan and reaches us, everyone can accept it, and the effect may be better!"

But this was to comfort Lin Gui not to worry too much. What would be difficult for Xu Mengxiao?

She can definitely find a way to solve it.

It's just that Lin Gui was so seriously injured that she couldn't train the chef to make crayfish. She really had to slow down and wait until he got better.

After that, Xu Mengxiao told him that he was about to hold a cooking competition and select cooks and seedlings to recruit and cultivate apprentices.

"That's great, then I can feel more at ease!" Lin Gui naturally raised his hands and feet in favor of this matter.

Otherwise, if he opens another branch in the future, he will be a little too busy. Regarding this matter, he was a little worried before and didn't know how to tell Xu Mengxiao that he was almost out of his depth.

As a result, the master was so considerate and had already planned to have other apprentices who could help him share some tasks, so that he could return to the town and concentrate on cooking!
Lin Gui was happy, but when his family was brought over by Xu Mengxiao's people, they all cried and felt sad and distressed for a long time.

Although Lin Gui was also one of the bosses and was working on his own behalf, everyone was following Xu Mengxiao's advice in the end.

Xu Mengxiao looked at this scene and couldn't help but apologize to them.

"How can I blame you? It's too late for us to thank you!" Lin Gui's wife and parents were frightened. They had all seen Xu Mengxiao's help and daily interactions with them. How could they Turn your back on others.

"Agui is also unlucky. His behavior must be low-key, which makes people think he is some kind of rich man, so he was robbed."

There was indeed some reason for this. Lin Gui smiled awkwardly.

"Isn't it true that I have made money and enjoyed fame in Jiangnan, so I just want to dress better and bring some gifts to 'return home in splendor'?"

"What if you were robbed instead of someone else? Didn't those people realize that you look like a rich man and have a family?" Mrs. Lin Gui wished she could scrape the oil off his belly. Come down.

Not to mention, even if Lin Gui was not developed, he used to look like a wealthy businessman with a broad heart and a fat body. He was a typical man who had no worries about food and clothing.

Of course, this is because he is a cook and has a good attitude, but it does not go hand in hand with having money or not.

This can't be blamed on Lin Gui, "If my cousin comes back, even if he is decently dressed, I'm afraid he won't be robbed."

Contrary to Lin Gui, Lin Cai is richer, better at making money, and more like a wealthy businessman. However, he often frowns and looks very serious. With his tall stature and slim figure, he looks more like Lin Gui's housekeeper. Not a wealthy businessman.

After talking like this, seeing that he was very energetic, Lin Gui's family put down their worries and were in the mood to joke.

Xu Mengxiao listened on the sidelines and couldn't help but reflect on his high-profile behavior when he came back before, and then broke into a cold sweat.

No wonder Lu He had to arrange so many people for protection. If not for this, they might not have encountered large-scale hijackings.

At that time, she was much more high-profile than Lin Gui, so she was afraid that someone would kidnap her without putting up a sign to show that she was rich!
