Chapter 214 The Qian Family Escapes from the Capital
Liu Fangqi took the receipts for the five tables and showed them to Mrs. Qian.
Mrs. Qian was so grateful that tears fell from her eyes.
She said that there had been no happy events in the family since her husband passed away, so she wanted Qian Yunhao's birthday party to be a good omen.
I hope that the Qian family will be able to turn bad things around and that nothing bad will happen again.
After saying this, Madam Qian took out five thousand taels as promised and gave it to Liu Fangqi in front of the guards and maids.
As soon as Liu Fangqi walked out of the courtyard, he was surrounded by his men.
This time, after deducting the cost of the banquet, Liu Fangqi made a net profit of seven thousand taels.
He also knew that if he kept the money for himself, it would probably cause trouble.
In addition to him, there were twenty-seven guards inside and outside the courtyard, and he gave each of them one hundred taels.
Seeing their unhappy eyes, Liu Fangqi thought of the money he had already spent on the banquet, and said that the banquet at Zui Xiang Lou cost 200 taels per table, and he would let them eat as much as they wanted in a few days. Only then did the guards become happy again.
They had never dared to even imagine the feast at Zui Xiang Lou before.
Two maids came out and stared at Liu Fangqi. Liu Fangqi had no choice but to give each of them two hundred taels and told them not to relax and to keep a close eye on the people.
June 6th is Qian Yunhao's birthday.
The five members of the Qian family were all dressed up, waiting to go to Zui Xiang Lou for dinner in the evening.
But Liu Fangqi stopped them, saying that there was an order from above that the Qian family could not go out.
Mrs. Qian was anxious. She said that Qian Yunhao had been waiting for this day for a long time and asked Liu Fangqi to be flexible.
But Liu Fangqi was as hard as iron and refused to give in.
Butler Qian, Qian Dayong and Qian Dajie seemed to want to argue with them, but in the end they were too timid to say anything.
Mrs. Qian and Qian Yunhao burst into tears and were covered with their mouths by two maids and dragged into the yard.
Butler Qian knelt and begged, saying that his young master was too pitiful, and begged Chief Liu to help send the banquet to Qian's house.
Liu Fangqi responded, and Butler Qian kept thanking him gratefully.
After Mrs. Qian and Qian Yunhao were pulled into the yard, Liu Fangqi asked some of the guards to go to Zui Xiang Lou for dinner first.
The first group of ten people went, and two of them handed over Mrs. Qian's table to Butler Qian.
Manager Qian thanked them profusely and gave them a hundred taels of silver.
The two of them wanted to go to Zui Xiang Lou with satisfaction, but were stopped by others.
There were four tables for twenty-eight people. Except for their leader's table, the other tables could just accommodate eight people.
If these two people go there, they will definitely occupy a table by themselves. So should they eat the leftovers?
Let’s go together later.
As everyone waited anxiously, the first eight people who went out finally came back.
Zui Xiang Lou is indeed the best restaurant in Los Angeles. The food and wine are so delicious!
The shopkeeper realized that they were officials, so he specially gave them several jars of the best old wine.
If they were not afraid that Liu Touer would get impatient and deduct their salaries, these eight people would have wanted to stay in Zui Xiang Lou for a few more hours.
Several people ate their fill and drank well, they had never enjoyed themselves like this before.
Seeing that several people smelled of alcohol, Liu Fangqi asked a few more people to stay and watch them.
But no one wanted to stay. It was already the evening of the dog, and they hadn't eaten much at noon in order to have a big meal in the evening.
There was only an hour and a half left before Zui Xiang Lou closed. They had been waiting for several days, so how could they wait until the end and not get to eat it?
Liu Fangqi also said to pack some for them as well.
No one agreed to stay. The banquet at Zui Xiang Lou was not expensive just because the food was good.
When dining in Zui Xiang Lou, not only are there ice basins to cool you down, but there are also performances by singing girls and dancing girls. That is a real enjoyment.
Liu Fangqi was at a loss as to what to do because of the noise. He was also hungry, and the smell of alcohol on those people made him feel even more unbearable.
Thinking of the Qian family's recent servile behavior and the two maids whose skills were no less than his, Liu Fangqi no longer worried about it.
He asked the eight people to cheer up and took the others to Zui Xiang Lou.
When the night wind blows, Zui Xiang Lou's oldest and finest wine becomes powerful.
The eight people just felt dizzy and floating in the air. It was very beautiful, but they were a little unsteady.
Inside Qian's house, two maids were running to the toilet in a hurry.
At the banquet, Madam Qian gave the best dishes to the two maids, saying that they would have to work hard in the future.
Even the fine wine he brought back was given to the maid.
While Madam Qian was crying and talking to the two maids, Qian Dayong quickly poured the croton powder that Dong Xing had brought in...
The two maids wanted to go to the toilet. Madam Qian was so anxious that she pulled them aside and asked them if they were sick.
The maid was anxious and shook off Mrs. Qian's hand and ran away.
When they returned with their legs as soft as noodles, all five members of the Qian family were gone.
The two were startled and hurried to find the guards.
The two guards guarding the courtyard had already passed out drunk, and the six guards guarding the courtyard were also drunk and unaware of anything...
That night, the five members of the Qian family, along with the Yan family and Kong Haibo, who had become a puddle of mud, were escorted out of Luo City overnight.
When all the guards sobered up the next day, the Qian family had already reached Shang Chenggong's cavalry unit.
Liu Fangqi reported to Ge Wei in a cold sweat.
After Emperor Zhaowen learned the news, thirty people, including two maids, were beaten to death.
Ge Wei suggested to Emperor Zhaowen that after Li Jiren and Li Jixin left, they should say that the five members of the Qian family had been killed by them. Anyway, this was their original plan.
By then, there will be no one in Prince Lin's Mansion in Beijing, so whatever they say will be the final word.
But before they could spread the news, the news that Emperor Zhaowen had treated Qian Yongda's widow and orphans harshly spread in Luocheng.
It is said that Mrs. Qian has never left the Qian residence since she entered it and was placed under house arrest.
All of Qian's neighbors can testify to this fact.
It is said that because the Jingzhao Yin and the Crown Prince failed to slander the two sons of Prince Lin's Mansion, Qian Yunhao, the person involved, was never able to leave the Qian residence again.
Qian Yunhao's classmates can also testify to this fact.
It is said that the old housekeeper Qian and the two guards of the Qian family were also imprisoned in the Qian house.
Even the Qian family's daily food was bought for them by the guards who guarded the Qian residence after they extorted a large sum of money from the Qian family, and all they bought were coarse grains.
The vegetable vendors, the butcher Zhu Zisan, and the grain shop owner could testify to this fact. They had indeed not seen the steward Qian for twenty days.
It is said that the two maids given to Madam Qian by the imperial court acted arrogantly in the Qian family, not only bullying Madam Qian, but also taking away a lot of her jewelry.
It’s hard to say for sure, but many people have indeed seen the two maids. Their clothes and jewelry were very luxurious, not like those of maids.
It is said that on June 6th, Mr. Qian's birthday, Liu Fangqi, the chief guard of the Qian family, extorted seven thousand taels from Mrs. Qian and booked five tables of banquet at Zui Xiang Lou.
This incident surprised everyone. How could ordinary guards afford the feast at Zui Xiang Lou?
The owner and waiter of Zui Xiang Lou both confirmed that Liu Fangqi had indeed booked five tables for dinner on June 6th.
One of the tables of food was packed up and taken to Qian's house, saying it was for Mr. Qian's birthday celebration.
The other four tables were occupied by Liu Fangqi and his men.
During the meal, Liu Fangqi's men also said that Liu Touer had made a fortune.
It is said that Liu Fangqi took Mrs. Qian's money and promised to let Mr. Qian celebrate his birthday at Zui Xiang Lou.
But in the end Liu Fangqi stopped them and refused to let the Qian family go out, which made Mrs. Qian and Mr. Qian disappointed and crying. They were then dragged into the yard by two maids with their mouths covered.
This rumor was also confirmed by the surrounding neighbors.
Although they didn't see it, they did hear the two people crying miserably that night. But as soon as they started crying, it seemed as if someone covered their mouths and dragged them into the yard.
It is said that after that night, the five members of the Qian family disappeared, and even the maids who were guarding them and Liu Fangqi and others were killed.
This is no longer a rumor; it is a fact known to everyone.
It is said...
