Chapter 173 Let's see if he is stupid enough!
Xu Chang warmed her jade hands with a cup of hot tea, but a pair of charming eyes looked at Song Yi and asked, "So, those people who destroy are ruffians in Yangzhou? But why did they do this? Is it true that the boss of the shop opposite is worried about us grabbing business? This seems a little unreasonable..."
"It's true that it doesn't make sense, but from the current situation, it's really the work of the ruffians in Yangzhou. It's just their purpose. I'm not sure if it was instructed by the people in the shop at the door, because the shop at the door was originally just a deli, and there was absolutely no reason to do what I wanted to do. There is a conflict... Unless there are still people behind the scenes, but I can't figure it out now. Who would do such a thing? I just arrived in Yangzhou..." Song Yi also said sadly.
"What do you think? Are you going to get into trouble with that group of ruffians? That's not easy to do... Although the ruffians say that they don't have much strength, if they can't do anything to them, it's still very sad that these people will have some trouble in the future..." Xu Chang's face was bitter, and she frowned and said.
"A ruffian... Humph! These people are the most likely to be moved by money... I thought of something." Song Yi smiled, with a sneer on his face.
"Do you think of the people behind the scenes?" Xu Chang stared into Song Yi's eyes in surprise and asked.
"Not yet... But I will know soon, and I also want to know... Who is playing games with me!" Song Yi had a meaningful expression on his face.
There are still three days left before Song Yi married Qingyan, and then in the penultimate third day, Song Yi and Fu Yao finally met the person behind the scenes...
A few days later, after Song Yi and Xu Chang separated that day, they took Fu Yao to open the door of the deli opposite his shop, and then a fat middle-aged man like a ball was ready to grab the back door and escape, and was easily stopped by Fu Yao.
After a torture, he soon knew that it was the store owner named Tao Fang who hired a group of familiar ruffians to smash Song Yi's shop at night, but it was not because of business competition, but because someone paid 500 taels of silver to hire him to do it. He spent another hundred taels of silver to hire a group of scoundrels... A typical practice of buyers and sellers.
After spending many days and more than ten days, he finally figured out the context of the matter and caught Tao Fang, the person who instructed him, but in the end, he still failed to ask for the name of the person behind the scenes. Even his appearance, Tao Fang's description was only more than seven feet tall, and his mask only showed a pair of thick eyebrows... It is undoubtedly more difficult to find a person according to such a description than looking for a needle in a haystack.
But for Song Yi, everything is not in vain. At least he knows that the person behind the scenes is a Nanyang accent. Since it is a Nanyang accent, he is not a local... Whether it is Song Yi or Xu Chang, as long as you know that you are not a local, the suspect will be much narrowed...
In the backyard of Song Mansion, Song Yi and Xu Chang sat against the pavilion, which was equipped with a heater. Originally, there was no need to deliberately talk in the yard, but because according to the rules, Song Yi could not go to Xu's house recently, and Xu Chang especially liked a group of chickens and ducks in the backyard of Song Yi's family, so she could only put a heater in the pavilion according to her wishes, so that it would not be too cold.
The story has probably been discussed by both of them. The only thing that is uncertain is whether the person behind the scenes will find out Xu Chang's identity! Although according to Xu Chang's own statement, her arrangement is seamless, as for her identity, she spent a lot of money to buy it. There can't be omissions, so Xu Chang thinks more that she is Song Yi's right...
Song Yi believes that if the problem is with him, then it can only be Zhao Ze, the king of Kang. But think about it, there is no direct conflict between him and Zhao Ze at all. If it is true, Zhao Ze should not have such a fierce means so far... However, Song Yi did not rule out this idea, so the final discussion on this matter was that the two decided to be more vigilant. Let's put the matter aside for the time being. The important thing is the wedding three days later...
To be a person for two generations, to be honest, Song Yi is indeed the first time to get married. Although Song Yi is already a very calm man in the eyes of others, getting married makes him feel particularly nervous than anything in Song Yi's life.
"What are you going to do with the shop opposite and the Tao Fang?" Xu Chang asked, and her eyes were taken back from the duck ring and threw them on Song Yi's face.
"I'm going to set it down. Whether Tao Fang agrees or disagrees, at least I have the evidence of his crime in my hand and give him some reasonable price." Song Yi replied calmly.
"How much money do you have on your side? Is it enough?" Xu Chang narrowed her eyes and asked, with a shrewd light flashing in her eyes.
Song Yi said with an embarrassed expression, "I don't have much money here, but the deli under the plate is enough, and as long as there are no more accidents, the store will soon become popular after opening immediately."
"What if you lose money? Have you thought about it?"
"I haven't thought about losing money, even if I lost money... At least I have other ways to think about it. Are you starting to worry about losing money now? Song Yi asked.
A serious expression flashed on Xu Chang's face and said, "I'm not a good person. How can I not worry? Since I have invested in it, of course I will want to pay back. The loss this time is not small. For ordinary people, it's a matter of family destruction... You can carelessly, but after all, I'm a woman. I should figure out my account book, although I don't look like I'm calculating..."
"Hmm... If you lose money, I will return it to you even if I make a cow and a horse. You don't have to worry about this!" Song Yi patted his chest and joked.
Xu Chang smiled lightly, and then said angrily, "I really don't know where your confidence comes from. Other people always do things carefully without worrying about winning or losing. You are surprised that you always feel that you will succeed..."
"How do you know that I'm not careful, hum... It's just that I can't think of a reason to fail. Who is not funny in this world? Song Yi said with a confident smile.
"You will be a husband in three days. Do you have any special feelings?" Xu Chang asked curiously.
"Are you curious about this?" Song Yi stared at Xu Chang's curious expression and asked.
"I don't know why. I always feel that you are not like the kind of man who is easy to settle down, but if you say so, you really have to settle down. It's still an incredible feeling. I always feel that your marriage with Qingyan is a little legendary." Xu Chang said with a slightly complicated face.
"I'm just a little nervous. There's nothing special about anything else. After all, it's the first time to get married!" Song Yi replied.
"Then will you take a concubine in the future?" Xu Chang blinked a pair of charming eyes and asked curiously.
The corners of Song Yi's mouth moved slightly, and his eyes hesitated and said, "Do you take a concubine... I still think it's better to be in love. If it's just to take a concubine, I won't do that. It just so happens that I'm a free person, and I don't worry about the persecution of my parents and elders..."
In fact, when he said this, the pure and beautiful face of Huang Ying flashed in Song Yi's mind, and he suddenly felt that it should be very possible to take a concubine in the future... Even if a dedicated man, if another kind and beautiful woman has always been good to him, the man will not refuse, not to mention that in this era, people's ideas will naturally be relaxed.
"I'm quite envious of you and Qingyan, unrestrained, free and well-matched..." Xu Chang's face flashed a wisp of melancholy, staring at the fat ducks lying on the grass in the duck ring and said quietly.
In fact, Song Yi has always wanted to ask one thing, but he still dares not ask. Why was Xi Guiren sealed in Luoyang by the emperor? Why didn't you hear any rumors about Xi Guiren's death after entering Beijing?
Maybe Song Yi will only know these things until Xu Chang is really willing to say it one day...
"In these three days, I won't be here. On the day you get married, I will ask someone to open the game hall and then ask for a double happiness. Now it's almost the Spring Festival... I also hope there will be another double happiness. You will have a noble son early..." Xu Chang turned her face and said with a festive smile. Then she put her fox fur shawl and raised her round buttocks gently. Shi Shiran stood up and prepared to say goodbye.
"See you in three days..." Song Yi looked unconcealed with joy.
After sending Xu Chang out of the door, Song Yi turned around and shouted Fu Yao and walked out of the door again.
"What are we going to do?" Fu Yao raised his elegant face and asked.
"Find someone."
Didn't you say you couldn't find that person? Why do we have to waste our efforts now? Fu Yao asked puzzledly.
Song Yi raised a strange curvature at the corners of his mouth and said with a sneer, "It will be really difficult for us to find him... But if he is coming for me, we should always give him a chance to continue to find trouble... There can't be any more accidents in the store, so I sent more people, but I only brought a little girl with me... We can go for a walk in the suburbs or something!"
"Oh... Do you want to lead the snake out of the hole? Is it just that he will be fooled? Fu Yao suddenly asked with great enlightenment.
"I don't know. It depends on whether he is stupid enough!" Song Yi curled his lips and replied with a smile.
