Chapter 250 Killing the Wrong Person

Li Er was right, this matter had nothing to do with them.

The couple listened to the discussion among the villagers, and then said a few words of emotion, and the matter passed.

But Master Chen was already going crazy.

They never expected that the most powerful chef in their restaurant would die at this moment!How did he die so coincidentally?

"Did he really fall into the water?" Master Chen looked at his son coldly.

Mr. Chen nodded. "Yes. I have asked the county magistrate to examine the corpse. It is true that he drank too much alcohol. He stepped on the ground and fell into the river when he returned and drowned. When he was found, his stomach was still bulging. One of the bosses!"

Master Chen still looked at his son coldly.

Mr. Chen was shocked when he saw it. "Did I do something wrong?"

"You did nothing wrong, but I always feel that things are not that simple." Master Chen said coldly, "You should go to Guan Li's house to have a look now!"

"Ah? At this time?" Mr. Chen was reluctant.It's the end of the year, and it's so cold, he really doesn't want to run around.Besides, the Guan family is dead now, and their family may be making a fuss now. If he goes by himself, it's not a sheep in the mouth of a tiger. Those women in the Guan family will definitely not let him go!

However, Master Chen snorted coldly. "You just go for me!"

Mr. Chen bowed his head quickly. "Yes, the child is going now!"

He turned around quickly, but when he got outside, his steps slowly stopped.He casually summoned the servants beside him: "Take someone to go to Guan's house to see what's going on there, and then come back and tell me."

"Okay!" The servant hurriedly agreed and went.

Chen Gongzi curled his lips, and Shi Shiran went back to his yard, sat on the deck chair and basked in the sun.

The boy went out for about half an hour, and he came back in a panic. "Young master, it's not good, it's not good!"

"What's wrong? It's Chinese New Year, can't you say something auspicious?" A rare good dream was woken up, and Mr. Chen was in a bad mood.

The boy still looked anxious. "My lord, it's really a big deal. The members of Guan Li's family are all dead!"

Mr. Chen was so frightened that the fan in his hand fell to the ground with a thud.

"What? Are they all dead?" Master Chen trembled with fright when he heard the news.He reached out his hand abruptly, and grabbed Mr. Chen's arm tightly, "Quickly tell me, how did they all die?"

Having been ill for so long, his life is now hanging by medicine, and his body is already too emaciated.The hand that was holding onto his arm was like a dried tree branch, dry and rough, strangled on his arm, but with such force, Mr. Chen frowned in pain.

He quickly winked at the boy. "You tell me!"

The servant hurried forward: "Returning to the master, when I arrived with the young master, I saw that Guan Li's daughter-in-law had drowned herself. His old mother hanged herself immediately. Before she died, she They also strangled Guan Li's five children and two concubines to death."

My God, this whole family is dead!And they all died so badly!
The people around couldn't help but trembled when they heard this.Mr. Chen couldn't help but touch the goose bumps on his arms.

Master Chen raised his head slowly. "Sure enough, they are all dead, and they all died unexpectedly!"

Mr. Chen's heart skipped a beat. "Father, what do you mean to say..."

"It's that woman! The one who made trouble in Xianwailou before! Now hurry up and take the yamen servants to catch her! She must have killed the person! It must be her!" Master Chen's eyes widened suddenly, The fundus of the eyes was red, and the eyeballs almost popped out of the sockets, which looked extraordinarily scary.

Mr. Chen was so frightened that he got up quickly. "Yes, my son knows, my son will go now!"

This time, he didn't dare to be lazy anymore, and he quickly led the man to the inn where the man was temporarily staying.But when they arrived, they were told that the group of people had already left, and they happened to leave on the day Guan Li died!

He searched around again, but he couldn't find any trace of this group of people. He only knew from a waiter in the shop that the woman was called Nine Girls.Other than that, there is no more useful news.

"You useless thing! You can't do this little thing well. What do you think I have raised you for so many years? I have only been sick for a few days. Look at how many troubles you have caused!" No one was caught. Of course, Master Chen's anger can only be vented on Mr. Chen.

Mr. Chen lowered his head, and he let Mr. Chen scold him.It wasn't until Master Chen had enough of scolding that he slowly raised his head: "Father, you have taught me a good lesson. But, now is not the time to be anxious, we have to think about how to pass this new year!"

The previous New Year's Eve was their favorite time, because they could take advantage of this opportunity to make a lot of money, and they could also take this opportunity to visit and make friends with dignitaries in the county and provincial capitals.But now, they don't have that thought anymore, because this new year has really become a new year!If they were not careful, if they didn't cross over, where would they get the money to give gifts to the nobles, so that they could meet and make friends with people?Not to mention how badly their reputations have been damaged!

Although Master Chen was angry, he did not completely lose his mind.After hearing what his son said, he put away his angry expression: "Of course, the most urgent task is to quickly find a chef with decent skills. It's just that such a chef is hard to find!"

"That's right! Guan Li has grown up to this point after how many years of training we have cultivated. If we dig out other cooks at this time, they will definitely ask for a lot of money. So..." He paused, "Please give me a instruct."

Master Chen lowered his face again.

Mr. Chen paused, then whispered again: "Why don't we invite Li Er's wife to top her? Her cooking skills should be no worse than Guan Li's."

"No!" Master Chen immediately vetoed his opinion.When he heard his son mention this name, his mood that had finally calmed down began to fluctuate again.Gradually, his breathing became short again, and he clenched his hands and waved them back and forth in the air several times, "Ninth Miss, Ninth Miss... I finally figured it out! That woman came after them, she She came to kill them! But we blocked her in the middle and told her to kill the wrong person... It should be the family that died now!"

As he spoke, he became more and more excited.

"Li Er, Su Ran! It's all your fault! It's you who should be damned, you should have died a long time ago!"

Then, he grabbed Mr. Chen again. "Hurry up and catch them for me and send them to that woman! Let that woman kill them quickly!"

People don't know where they are, isn't it too late for you to say this now?Moreover, when others came towards that couple at the beginning, you were the one who was afraid that they would climb higher branches, so you refused to tell the truth, and told me to push Guan Li out.Now that Guan Li is dead, you just figured it out, so what's the use?Mr. Chen said to himself, but now he is smart enough not to confront Mr. Chen anymore.

He hurriedly nodded yes, took advantage of the situation and broke free from Master Chen's restraints, and ran out of the yard quickly.

When he reached the gate of the courtyard, he closed his eyes and let out a long breath.

The boy followed him out. "Young master, what should we do now? Are you really looking for Li Er's family?"

"Aren't you talking nonsense? We have already made trouble with their family like that, how can we go to them? Now we can only take the blame for the dumb, and we will seek revenge from them when we have a chance!" Mr. Chen gritted his teeth. said.

Speaking of it, he was also regretting it in his heart - why didn't he find out that the nine girls were here to kill Su Ran and the others?If he had known this, he would definitely not have concealed it at all, and he would have personally taken her to Wushan Village!
Unfortunately, it's too late to regret now.Now that the matter has come to this point, they can only slap their teeth in their stomachs, and they can't let outsiders know any inside information.Otherwise, they will lose all face!

"Hurry up and call all the apprentices of Guan Li over here, and I'll test their cooking skills. If possible, then choose one of them to be the chef!" He whispered to the servant.

The boy nodded quickly. "The little one understands! Don't worry, young master, the little one will definitely handle things properly!"

This young man left, and the other personal servant also nodded with a smile. "Speaking of it, this is also a good opportunity. Young master, you should hurry up and cultivate your confidants, so that after the master dies, you can firmly grasp all the family property as soon as possible, so as not to be taken away by those tribes outside."

"What nonsense are you talking about? My father is still in good health!" Mr. Chen's face suddenly sank.

The boy hurriedly slapped himself loudly several times. "The little one knew it was wrong, the little one knew it was wrong! Young master, don't be as knowledgeable as the little one, I won't dare to say that again in the future!"

Mr. Chen nodded.He stood up slowly, and sighed in a low voice, "Okay, now let's go to the account books again! Hey, there are so many account books at home waiting for me to go through alone, it's really exhausting!"
