Chapter 229 Collecting evidence

Author: Pony Crossing the Bridge

After dinner, Qin Lu asked Lao Zhangtou to deal with the three people sent by the prince. These three people were ridiculed in front of the diners for just a trivial matter.

The three of them were still confused. A Ming and others pointed at them, "How long have you been here at the shop? You can't do any small things well. What are you doing here? Hurry up and leave."

"You, why did you let me go? The shopkeeper hasn't said anything yet?" The leader of the three looked dismissively, not even looking at A Ming. The indifferent look in his eyes made people very uncomfortable.

Qin Lu was standing outside the shop. She didn't originally intend to come in, but now she had no choice but to come in. "What's wrong?"

She pretended that she just came back and didn't hear anything.

Before she finished speaking, Qin Lu had already arrived in front of Lao Zhang, "I'm not busy today. Why are you guys standing here? You're not even greeting the diners?"

"That's right, we've said hello several times, do you think you're looking down on us?" When the new diners heard Qin Lu's words, they followed along and spoke with dissatisfaction.

"I'm sorry, brothers. I'll send someone to arrange whatever you want to eat. Don't overthink it. I'll give you half the price today."

"Seriously?" The diner looked at Qin Lu in disbelief.

Qin Lu smiled and nodded, "I am the shopkeeper of this shop, don't you still believe me?"

"Trust, trust, thank you so much, Shopkeeper Qin."

"You're welcome. If you find the food delicious and come here often and introduce diners, I'll give you a discount."

"good."

Qin Lu calmed down the irritable hearts of the diners with just a few words. Then she quickly asked A Ming to serve the dishes according to the diners' orders. After greeting them, she looked gloomy and asked the three people and Lao Zhangtou to follow her to the patio.

.

"You guys should tell me, what's going on?"

"Shopkeeper, you can't blame us for this. It's Lao Zhangtou who is looking for trouble. He insists on causing trouble for our brothers. What else can we do? It's just a few words of retort, but it doesn't work?"

"Old Zhangtou has nothing to do, is he free?"

"Shopkeeper, I'm not looking for trouble. I really can't stand it anymore. The three of them don't work. A Ming and the others can prove it..." Old Zhangtou always looked honest and honest, but now he looks like he is being forced

The anxious look was so distressing that Qin Lu almost couldn't help laughing.

She didn't expect Qin Tieniu to arrange such a talent for her. Qin Lu cleared her throat after suppressing her laughter, "Do you think I will believe you or Lao Zhangtou?"

Qin Lu gave this multiple-choice question to these three people.

When the three of them followed the direction of Qin Lu's finger and saw Lao Zhang's head, they saw that he was so wronged that the three of them felt like a bully.

The three of them faced each other and reacted for a while before pointing at Lao Zhangtou, "It is true that the three of us work slower, but we..."

"But you still don't listen."

Qin Lu instantly cut off their words, smiled secretly at them with her hands behind her back, and then looked at them with a sullen face, "Okay, my small temple can't tolerate you, please leave."

Her expression was extremely serious, and there seemed to be no room for maneuver. The three of them looked at each other, and finally knelt down in front of Qin Lu as if they had made an appointment, "Shopkeeper Qin, we know we were wrong, and we promise to take a good look at you."

Just don’t drive us away.”

"Yes, yes, we promise we will never be lazy again."

…

The three of them chatted for a long time without giving Qin Lu a chance to react.

When the three of them were kowtowing, Lao Zhang couldn't help but look at Qin Lu. She recalled and nodded. After a while, she looked at the three of them and said, "Okay, hurry up and give you another chance."

"Okay, okay, we promise to work hard."

The three of them got up quickly, shyly thanked Qin Lu, and then went directly into the shop and started working diligently.

After confirming that the three of them would not come back again, Qin Lu invited Lao Zhangtou to sit on the bench in the patio, "How is it? Did they do anything last night?"

"It's not a big problem, it's just that they seemed restless early this morning..." Lao Zhangtou is a very observant person, and he can tell the fishy thing between the three of them at a glance.

Lao Zhangtou talked to Qin Lu for a long time, and then reported the next step plan to her. Then he looked at her nervously and said, "Miss Qin, what do you think we should do?"

"Just do as you say. I believe you. Since they don't want to leave, then just stay and the plan will be ready."

"yes."

Qin Lu saw through Lao Zhangtou's worries and patted him on the shoulder, "I'll go talk to Qin Tieniu. Thank you for your hard work here."

"Miss Qin, I'm embarrassed to say that."

"Haha..." Qin Lu couldn't help but burst out laughing.

A quarter of an hour later, Lao Zhangtou mingled with the three of them and continued working. Qin Lu made snacks and went directly to Lord Shangshu's residence. By that time, Qin Tieniu had already returned to the assembly point.

Zhang Deshan has already started interrogating. During this period, many masterminds of the palace coup have been caught. He must get first-hand evidence before the emperor comes out to find the prince. Then we will see how the prince and King Yi argue.

Because Zhang Deshan had been thinking about this since he arrived at the assembly point this morning, he had been interrogating him in the dungeon. Qin Tieniu couldn't find him when he came back, so he went directly to the dungeon.

As soon as he entered the dungeon, Qin Tieniu heard bursts of heartbreaking cries, "Ah, it hurts, it hurts."

"I said, I said."

"Uncle, what exactly do you want to know? Why don't we all admit it?"

Hearing these sounds was enough to tell Zhang Deshan that he was already going crazy. It is estimated that these people would not be easy in his hands.

Thinking of this, Qin Tieniu walked quickly towards the cell closest to him. As soon as he arrived at the door of the cell, he saw a businessman tied to a pillar. Zhang Deshan was standing opposite him, holding a branding iron and branding his arm.

.

"If you don't tell me, it won't be on the arm next time." After Zhang Deshan finished speaking, he made the soldering iron even redder. The businessman was so frightened that he peed, "Master, I said, I said, she is the mother of the imperial concubine.

My family found me and said that as long as I support the Crown Prince, my son will be allowed to join the court as an official."

"You just agreed?"

"Sir, I have to agree. This is the imperial concubine's mother's family. Besides, we are only asked to provide money. We have been in business for generations, and we have a lot of money..."

The businessman was honest and told the truth directly to Zhang Deshan, and then asked him to sign and pledge, "Tell me, you can give all this money to the officials and write down the names of the officials and the amount of money..."

"yes."

While the businessman was writing this, Zhang Deshan walked out of the cell and planned to interrogate the next person, but he turned around and saw Qin Tieniu. His surprisingly cold face instantly turned into a smile, "Master, why are you back? Why don't you
