The golden and jade of the peasant girl in charge

Chapter 249
In the pavilion, Mr. Liu Ge was cooking tea with some people. When he saw Ruyi coming, his voice was like a bell: "Oh, I really said that I've arrived. Gentlemen, this is the cook that the old man mentioned."

Shen Yuanhui also recognized Ruyi, and they recognized each other immediately: "Unexpectedly, the name of Miss Ruyi, even Ge Lao wanted to mention it on his lips. It seems that Shen has been away from Dongqiao for a while, and Miss Ruyi's cooking skills are only as good as hers. I'm afraid it's getting better and better!"

There were three people in the pavilion, apart from Liu Gelao and Shen Yuanhui, there were two other people sitting by the stone table in the pavilion, one was a young man in his early twenties, with a handsome face, wearing a white robe with wide sleeves, the tea and drinking room was exceptional Ruya; the other is a man in his early thirties, the only feature of his face is white, it looks like it has been powdered, and his eyes are a bit sissy, he is a person who makes people feel uncomfortable.

Because of Liu Ge's and Shen Yuanhui's words, both of them looked over in unison, Ruyi withdrew their sizing eyes, and bowed their heads humbly.

Mr. Liu Ge waved his hand: "Ruyi, don't panic. These are my friends who came from Bianjing. They are all people who love food. I heard that there is a little cook in Dongqiao who is very good at cooking. Naturally, I want to let you go." Be curious, I brought you here today just to let my few good friends have a good time."

Ruyi was startled, frowned slightly, but still replied: "Yes, yes..."

Shen Yuanhui noticed Ruyi's anomaly, and asked: "The girl seems to have something hard to hide, but is there any inconvenience?"

"No." Ruyi shook her head and squeezed out a smile: "Ruyi is willing to give it a try."

It was the time when autumn was getting stronger, and no matter how diligently the servants cleaned it, they were no match for the bleak autumn wind. But in a short while, the clean stone road was covered with a layer of withered yellow leaves, which looked very depressed.

With a sound of "bang", the knife in Ruyi's hand fell to the chopping board. Ruyi frowned and wanted to get the knife again, but this time she didn't even hold it, and there was another sound, and the knife He fell straight down and was about to cut Ruyi's foot!

"Be careful!" Shen Yuanhui had been standing at the door for a long time, and he was surprised when he saw this, but this time his movements were not so fast, a shadow flashed by beside him, and the next moment, that person had already grasped Ruyi's wrist and moved quickly Pull her back.

The knife finally fell to the ground, Ruyi was still in shock, and looked at the people around her in a blink of an eye.This person is one of the men who sat in the pavilion with Mr. Liu Ge and the others just now, and he is quite a bookish man.

Seeing that she was no longer in danger, the man let go of his hand quickly, and apologized to Ruyi, "How offended." When he said this, like Shen Yuanhui, he set his eyes on Ruyi's right hand.

Ruyi's injury to his right hand quickly spread to Elder Liu Ge's ears, which made the respected imperial teacher nervous for a while, and hurriedly called a doctor to take the pulse, but the doctor couldn't say anything after a long time. a symptom.

According to Ruyiruo, she had an accident when she was working in Baiweilou, and her right hand was smashed, but at that time, it was just a pain and she was fine, but she didn't expect that after that, her arm would hurt from time to time It hurts, she has to go to work every day, so she naturally regards this pain as a reaction to being overworked all day, but she didn't find out that when she woke up a few days ago, her right hand lost feeling... When Ruyi said this, her expression was very Calmness, calmness made Shen Yuanhui a little curious: "As a cook, like that literati and poet, both hands are extremely important. Your current situation is really not good, but it is also a very good situation."

Ruyi smiled: "How can I not be sad and cry, but after a sad meal, not only will my hand not heal, but it will only make my family members worry together, so it's a big mistake."

What he said made several people look at him with admiration, but the man who made Ruyi feel uncomfortable just drinking tea alone, suddenly a discordant voice came out: "It seems that Mr. Ge has some good intentions." Even God didn't give me any favors, and the cook accidentally hurt her hand. That's all, no matter whether it was a real coincidence or a trick to protect the name, Qin didn't force it, I still have important things to do , so I won’t disturb Mr. Ge’s peace.” He spoke of us instead of him alone, as if he was the one who took the lead among the three.

Shen Yuanhui and the man in Ru's white robe stood up together with the man who claimed to be surnamed Qin, with a calm expression. They really looked like they were about to say goodbye. Elder Liu Ge stroked his beard and refused to force it.

After the three of them left, Ruyi was also about to say goodbye. Liu Ge asked her about the condition of her arm, and Ruyi talked a lot about what she picked up, and finally said with a smile: "It's just that I have no strength after sleeping, maybe one day When I wake up again, I might be fine."

Liu Ge looked at her right hand that was tucked in the sleeve and hung by her side, and said: "If you can be spotted by one of them, I will take you to Bianjing for a while, and your life will be much better than now. It seems that I heard that you signed a contract with that Baiweilou. You are young, so it is not good to restrain yourself like this..." At the end, I still couldn't help sighing: "It's really a pity..."

Ruyi just listened to Mr. Liu Ge so earnestly, and when he had finished speaking, Mr. Liu was stunned to have someone grab several precious medicinal herbs for body repairing in the warehouse, and asked Ruyi to take them back. It was good to refute Liu Ge's face, and he left after accepting them one by one.

When passing by Baiweilou, Ruyi looked quietly at the side, the small door leading to the backyard was open, and it happened to be able to see the mud, sand and footprints on the ground inside, as well as useless wood piled on the side, which seemed to be still there. renovation.The gates of the restaurant are next to each other, and there is no business.

Looking at the crowd coming and going, Ruyi suddenly thought of the conversation between Li Hengcai and Zheng Ze that night in Zheng's mansion, when Li Hengcai took people to search Zheng's mansion, and was stopped by Pei Yurong to give an explanation to a dead man.At that time, Pei Yurong bit back, saying that Li Hengcai did not want to leave after taking the murderer, maybe it was done on purpose. At that time, Li Heng asked angrily, did he burn down his own shop just to frame them?
How did Zheng Ze answer back then?
"Such a thing. Boss Li hasn't done it, has he?"

Such a thing?What kind of thing is such a thing?Blow up your own restaurant to frame others?Ruyi looked at the street full of people coming and going again, and the places that felt wrong before gradually surfaced.That night when Baiweilou was set on fire, he hurriedly reported to the police, even though the so-called murderer Zheng's family had already been released, but he still reported to the police.But thinking back to the first time Baiweilou was dropped with explosives, Li Hengcai didn't even say anything, let alone report to the officials.

If Liu Quan is not dead, Ruyi can think of a way to get Liu Quan to testify against Li Hengcai, but she just gave Liu Quan some medicine. She asked Jiang Chengye, the medicine's properties are at most longer than normal. It was even more violent, so it wouldn't be a direct death. What's more, Wang Youcai executed people directly under the pretext that the corpse would stink!
