Red Mansion and Crimson Pearl

Daiyu was annoyed: "Who did it!?"

Xiao Hong was so anxious that she started to cry: "I don't know! The person who brought him here couldn't explain clearly. I only know that Jiang Yong fainted on the way back!

"Now that he has been sent to his residence, could you please trouble Aunt Meng to go and check if there is any problem?"

"Isn't this what we should do?" Aunt Meng said nothing and went back to her room to change clothes and get the medicine box. Xiaohong hurriedly followed her.

"Let's go and take a look together." Daiyu stood up, wrapped herself in a long coat and put on a gorilla felt cloak, took Zijuan's hand, and went out together.

When Qingwen and Xueyan came running to tell Daiyu excitedly that there was "water shield soup" for lunch, a famous Jiangnan soup, she found no one in the room. She hurriedly asked the little maid and found out that something happened outside.

Qingwen's eyes suddenly lit up. If it weren't for the cold winter, she would have rolled up her sleeves and said to Xueyan, "You little girl, you can't do anything if you go out. Just stay at home and take care of it!

"Zijuan is such an honest person, she would suffocate herself to death if she had an argument! Lin Xiaohong wants to be reasonable in everything, but how can there be so many reasons in the world?!

"I have to go and see who is so blind and fearless! If I don't pull out his hair and make a duster, I will be sorry for all the food the girl has wasted to feed me!"

He ran out in a hurry.

Xueyan opened her mouth for a long time but couldn't get a word in. Finally, she could only look at her back and sigh, "You wish..."

In the Lin Mansion, Jiang Yong was the most eccentric person. Even among the people sent here by Tao Jian, none of them were on good terms with him.

In this huge mansion, apart from the brothers Lin Zhixiao and Lin Zhijie, the person he was most familiar with was probably Xiaohong.

Knowing that he was of all kinds and was responsible for the management of all the industries of the Lin family, Lin Zhixiao did not dare to neglect such a big relationship. Seeing that the mansion was now large and sparsely populated, he simply chose a small courtyard for him in the group house area and let him live alone.

There is one best path in this courtyard. After leaving the courtyard gate, just a few steps away is the corner gate of the mansion.

Lin Daiyu and others immediately came out from the corner door, turned a corner and entered Jiang Yong's yard.

There were three rooms in front of the yard, one bright and two dark, and there were two small side rooms on the left and right sides.

Lin Daiyu nodded secretly in her heart. Seeing that Lin Zhixiao was also here and had cleared the place, leaving only a shopkeeper dressed like an ant on a hot pan, she knew that he had the situation under control.

"What's the matter?" Daiyu walked to the door and stopped.

Lin Zhixiao hurriedly took another step towards her, stood to the side, and whispered, "Aunt Meng is watching. She just sent a message: It's nothing serious. She will wake up in a while."

He pointed at the man who was sweating anxiously and said, "This is the owner of Lin's General Restaurant, Zhu Shou. He was the one who sent Manager Jiang back. I thought the girl might want to ask him in person, so I didn't let him go."

Lin Daiyu nodded: "Well done."

Then he looked at the shopkeeper: "Are you the shopkeeper of my No. 1 restaurant?"

"Yes! I greet the boss!" Zhu Shou knelt down and saluted Lin Daiyu, "Manager Jiang originally said that after the New Year's money is earned, on the 16th day of the first lunar month, he would bring all of our shopkeepers to pay respects to the boss.

"Who would have thought that something so ridiculous would happen today? I ended up meeting the boss before the other brothers!

"Congratulations to the boss, I wish the boss a long and happy holiday and eternal youth!"

"Okay. Get up first and tell me what happened today." Daiyu stretched out her hand and glanced at Lin Zhixiao. Lin Zhixiao understood and hurried forward to help Zhu Shou up.

Zhu Shou stopped wasting time and reported with his hands crossed: "Our restaurant has been operating in Beijing for three years, and we have already made arrangements with both the black and white circles. It should not be possible for anyone to cause trouble.

"But since half a month ago, people have been coming to pick out the dishes and decorations in the store. I informed Manager Jiang and he went to check it out.

"It seems he is a ruffian from South City who happened to come to North City to do some business. He wanted to extort some money from our store based on our store rules, but he was stopped by the waiter the first time.

"So he held a grudge against me and would come and make trouble from time to time. I didn't take it seriously.

"Today those people came again, and I thought that we couldn't let them ruin the business during the New Year holidays, so I had planned to give them some money to lure them away.

"Then Manager Jiang came. I told him about this, but he got angry and refused to pay anything. He said that if there was a first day, there would be a fifteenth day. At worst, we could just make a scene and send these people to the government office.

"Of course, he has the final say on these matters, so I just have to hold on.

"Manager Jiang went to check the kitchen, and I followed him. But we had just finished checking the vegetables and seasonings, and hadn't even reached the stove. The waiter said that a group of people had just come in from outside, making a lot of noise, and had a conflict with the group from South City.

"I knew it was bad right away! These people were looking for trouble, let alone a real fight. When Manager Jiang and I went out, we saw that the two sides had already started fighting. Most of the guests on the first floor ran away without paying!"

At this point, Zhu Shou was so distressed that he put his hand over his chest, his eyes were red, and he choked up and said, "Manager Jiang and I went up to stop the fight, and I just got kicked twice.

"But the group of people who came later, for some reason, seemed to push and shove for a while, and then they all turned their attention to Manager Jiang. The ruffians in South City actually stood by and watched slowly with their arms folded. One of them even shouted at me:

"Who did your family offend? They are going to get rid of your general manager! When those people heard this, they punched faster and faster. The leader was so cruel that he hit Manager Jiang on the back with a bench, almost hitting his head!

"Manager Jiang staggered and fell down, and the group of people dispersed. I reported it to the authorities early, but I don't know if it was because of the bad weather today, they came very slowly. I sent Manager Jiang back, but the officials still haven't come."

Daiyu listened to him patiently and immediately asked, "Did the group of people who went in later go there on their own, or did they follow Manager Jiang and come in soon after?

"Have you asked those ruffians in South City if they recognized these people who came later?

"What does the leader look like? How is he dressed? Does he have any distinctive features?

"Also, what's his accent? Did he shout anything to boost his courage during the fight? Did he reveal why he was about to start a fight?"

Zhu Shou tried hard to recall, and after a while he said, "From what the waiter said, it's been a while since Manager Jiang came here before those people came.

"The South City hooligans didn't know them, and they had no grudge against each other. I asked them what caused it, and it turned out that these people were the ones who started the fight.

"The leader was a young man of about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a proud face, and his clothes and shoes were made of good materials. It seemed that his family background was about the same as mine.

"As for their appearance and accent, they were all ordinary people, nothing special. They didn't say anything polite, they just beat people with gritted teeth.

"Oh, by the way, when they were leaving, I heard that group of people called him: Brother Qian!"

money……?!

Daiyu's heart moved, perhaps she knew who it was.
