The waiter sent Zhou Hu out of the door and then returned.
"You stay here and watch for a while, and I'll go get something from the backyard."
When the waiter returned to the shop, the shopkeeper came out.
"Shopkeeper, please go and do your work. There is a small one here." The waiter nodded towards the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper walked out of the shop and walked around to the courtyard door behind the shop. He looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, then he opened the courtyard door and walked in.
The yard is not big, with three main rooms behind it.
The shopkeeper closed the courtyard door and walked towards the main room.
As soon as he entered the main room, his body immediately stiffened and he hurriedly said: "One of our own."
As he finished speaking, a man walked out from behind the door of the main room, holding a dagger in his hand.
It was this dagger that was pressed against his waist just now.
In addition to the man holding the dagger, there was another person sitting on the Grand Master's chair in the room.
The man holding the hand took a few steps back and stood beside the other man in the room, playing with the dagger in his hand.
"Why are you here? Shouldn't you be staring at the shop from the front?" The man sitting on the master's chair raised his eyelids and glanced at the shopkeeper who entered the room.
The shopkeeper took two steps forward and said, "Zhou Hu just came to tell me something. He said that the imperial envoy sent by the imperial court has returned to Beijing and knows everything about our Tiger Flag."
"The name Zhou Hu sounds familiar. Is he the boss who accompanied the imperial envoy to Qingcheng?" asked the man sitting on the Grand Master's chair.
The shopkeeper nodded and said, "Yes, that's the person. That's why I'm worried about whether the imperial envoy really knows something?"
He had a worried look on his face.
The Tumut Department has fallen into the hands of Hu Ziqi, which is no longer a secret among shopkeepers of his level.
"Okay, I understand, you don't have to worry about this matter, go back and do your business." The man sitting on the Taishi chair said calmly.
The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment and asked, "Should we do something?"
"I said, you don't have to worry about this matter, I have my own sense of discretion." The man sitting on the Taishi chair frowned, with a bit of displeasure on his face.
When the shopkeeper saw that the other party was unhappy, he immediately realized that he had asked too many questions, and it was obviously not his turn to know some things.
"My subordinates are resigning." The shopkeeper did not dare to ask further questions.
The man sitting on the Taishi chair nodded.
The shopkeeper then retreated from the house and returned to the front shop.
At this time, the man who had been silent in the room said: "Boss, do you want to send someone to chase the imperial envoy and hand him over halfway..."
Before he finished speaking, he just made a motion of cutting his throat with his hands.
"No need." Chen Wu waved his hand and said, "If the imperial envoy really saw something he shouldn't have seen in Qingcheng, do you think he could come back alive? It's such a long journey from Qingcheng to Xuanfu, as long as our Tiger Flag wants to , he can die quietly on the grassland at any time."
The man frowned and said: "Head, you mean that the imperial envoy did not go to Qingcheng at all, but this is impossible! He is the imperial envoy sent by the imperial court to Qingcheng. How could he return to Beijing without even going to Qingcheng? Is it possible? Does he still dare to resist the decree?"
"The imperial envoy did go to Qingcheng and saw things he shouldn't have seen." Chen Wu smiled softly.
The man said in confusion: "Since this imperial envoy knows everything, we cannot spare his life."
"What is important is that he knows. If he doesn't know about Qingcheng, how can he bring the news back to the capital." Chen Wu licked his lower lip with his tongue.
The man looked at Chen Wu in surprise and confusion.
"Okay, let's not worry about the imperial envoy's affairs. Yang Tou has already sent someone to send a letter, telling us not to worry about it." Chen Wu explained.
Upon hearing this, the man said hesitantly: "Tou, do you think Yang Tou will betray the proprietor? Otherwise, how could he issue such an order?"
"Fart!" Chen Wu glared at the other party.
Then he continued: "Yang Tou has been with the proprietor from the beginning. How could he betray the proprietor? If you say such words again in the future, I will be the first to deal with you without Yang Tou taking action. "
"My subordinates also feel that Yang Tou will not betray the proprietor, but this order is too strange. Sending the imperial envoy back to the capital will only let the court know about our Tiger Flag on the grassland." The man muttered.
By the way, I am currently using the Zhuishu app to cache reading and read aloud offline!
Seeing that the other party was still holding on to this matter, Chen Wu scolded: "There's so much nonsense, I tell you, this is what the proprietor means, you and I just need to implement it."
"Ah! It turns out it was the proprietor's intention." The man was stunned for a moment.
Although he didn't understand why the proprietor would issue such an order, since the order came from the proprietor, he no longer doubted it. After all, the proprietor had never done anything wrong, and every decision made the Tiger Flag stronger.
"Okay, don't ask again in the future, as long as you know this matter." Chen Wu said, "Remember to ask someone to check on that Zhou Hu. I am very curious as to why he wants to help us."
Although the Tiger Character Banner and the Xuanfu General Military Office get along relatively harmoniously, the people from the General Military Office are not willing to take risks for the Tiger Character Banner.
"Don't worry, no matter what purpose Zhou Hu has, my subordinates will be able to figure out his purpose." The man assured, patting his chest.
Zhou Hu, who still didn't know that he had been targeted by Tiger Character Flag, returned to the General Military Mansion as soon as he came out of Tiger Character Flag's shop.
"Mr. Chen, I have already brought the message to the shopkeeper of a store of Tiger Character Flag in Xuanfu. I believe that Tiger Character Flag will send someone to take action soon." Zhou Hu said when he saw Chen Gong.
This time when I returned to Xuanfu, I could not see the commander-in-chief Wang Bao. Only the staff around Wang Bao found him alone.
Chen Gong frowned and said, "Why didn't you go to the Chamber of Commerce of Tiger Character Flag in Xuanfu? That is the most important place of Tiger Character Flag in Xuanfu."
"At first, I wanted to go to the Chamber of Commerce, but then I realized that the Chamber of Commerce has too many people, and if something happens, it could easily involve the General Military Mansion, so I just pretended to be a customer buying wine and went to the Xuan Mansion under the Tiger Character Banner. shop." Zhou Hu explained.
Hearing this explanation, Chen Gong laughed and said: "I didn't expect you to be a little clever. Okay, let's go back. It's quite hard to come back from Qingcheng. Go back and rest early."
"My dear, please excuse me." Zhou Hu bowed, took two steps back, and turned to leave.
At this time, I heard Chen Gong say again: "Watch your mouth, know what you can say and what can't be said. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think more about your family."
Zhou Hu, who was about to leave, trembled.
He didn't look back and walked out step by step.
When the matter reached this point, he knew that he had no way out, and even if the matter leaked out one day, he would be the scapegoat.
