The five people lying on the ground recovered quickly. After a while, they were no longer in a daze. Some sat up, and some stood up.
The man with the scar on his face looked at the door with lingering fear, afraid that the masked man who had just come in would rush back. He was not stupid and knew that the other party was coming for them.
He was also wondering who sent the masked man. Based on the man's skills, he was definitely not an ordinary person. At the very least, he had to be the leader of the guards of a big family. Otherwise, he would not be so fast.
After looking at the door, he saw that there was no one there. Even the people walking could not be seen. Only then did he turn his head and begin to look at the others in the room.
He felt that everyone seemed to be in cahoots with the person who beat them, but then he felt that it was impossible for any of them to be in cahoots. This was strange. Did the five of them get beaten up for nothing?
Thinking of this, he felt indignant. His eyes fell on the counter. He rubbed his face and head with his hand. After rubbing the blood evenly, he came to the counter with his eyes wide open.
He said to Wang Juan, "I was beaten up. What do you say?"
"It wasn't us." Zhang Xiaobao trembled as he came over. He even knew to protect Wang Juan at the counter, ready to fight at any time.
The man with the scar on his face looked at Zhang Xiaobao's movements and disdainfully curled his lips. He said, "Get out of here. With you like this, I can beat up three people. Give me the money. One hundred strings of cash per person. Not enough."
"You, you, even if you sell our shop, we can't get five hundred strings of cash. We don't have it. We really don't have it." Zhang Xiaobao did not hide. He still trembled at the door of the counter, showing a kind of fear, but he had to protect his wife.
Wang Juan looked at Zhang Xiaobao's appearance and almost laughed. His acting was too good.
As for the man with the scar on his face, Wang Juan felt that if the other party's organization only had this kind of people, it would not be difficult to deal with them as long as they found the specific place in the future.
"No? If not, I'll sell all of you as well. This little girl's looks are a bit lacking, but her figure … Hehe, don't you think so? "
This person glanced at Wang Juan and asked the other four injured brothers.
"Big Brother, now that you mention it, I realize that it is indeed not bad. Hehe, take out the money, we can't do without money." Immediately, another person echoed.
"We, we, we were also robbed of our money. We were also harmed. Why, why should we, we give you money? I, I will fight it out with you. If you dare to take another step forward," Lin Fan said, shaking his head.
Zhang Xiaobao picked up the abacus on the counter and covered his face with it. His eyes peered through the gaps between the beads on the abacus.
"Hahahaha." The five of them laughed together. They were very happy to see Zhang Xiaobao's cowardly look. It was as if they weren't the ones who were beaten just now, and their broken hands didn't hurt anymore.
"Shi Tou, why are you afraid of them? Xiao Nan, Xiao Yu, Xiao Yi, Xiao Gang, the four of you, quickly go and report to the officials. Just say that someone in the shop is looking for trouble. "
Wang Juan was still as fierce as before. She held her waist and was no longer afraid of being robbed just now.
"Okay." Wang Gang answered and was about to run out.
Zhang Yi didn't care that his nose was still bleeding. He quickly rushed to Wang Gang and pulled him back. He said loudly, "Lao Er, don't, don't go. Boss, you can't go. If the officials come and ask questions, they will investigate carefully and won't let the shop open. How long will it delay the business?
What's more, the one who beat people and ran away was covered in black from head to toe. We can't see his face. Where can we find him? It's useless. No one is looking for trouble. Brothers, don't you think so? "
When he asked the five of them, Zhang Yi's tone slightly changed. It seemed that he was very angry, but if one didn't think carefully, one wouldn't notice it.
The five of them remembered their purpose of coming to the shop. They also remembered their own identity. If they were caught and questioned by the officials, they would be exposed.
"Yes, this young man is right. We are not looking for trouble. It's a misunderstanding." The man with the scar on his face immediately followed Zhang Yi's words and said to Wang Juan.
Zhang Xiaobao opened his mouth and showed a smile that was uglier than crying. He said, "It's, it's a misunderstanding. It's fine as long as it's a misunderstanding."
"What misunderstanding? I don't see it. As soon as they came in, they looked for trouble. We endured it. Then the person who rushed into the shop later must have a personal grudge with them. He took revenge on them in the name of robbery. I only smashed the expensive things in my shop. In order to cover up his purpose of revenge, he robbed me of 50 strings of coins.
No, report to the officials. If I don't report to the officials, who will compensate for my loss? Do you think it's easy for me to open a shop? We just want to eat, but someone actually came to bully us. Why are you four still standing here? I'd rather shut down my shop and capture them. "
Zhang Xiaobao looked like a coward. He wanted to calm the matter down, but Wang Juan seemed to have found an opportunity. She did not want to do it and insisted on reporting to the officials.
Zhang Yi was anxious and angry. During the day, he had contacted the other side and asked them to help him. In the end, what kind of people were they sending? They did not listen to him and acted on their own accord.
The five of them were scared now. Their impulsive blood cooled down. At the same time, they felt pain in various parts of their bodies.
The leader did not know what to do. He could not admit defeat, but he could not act tough.
He hated Zhang Yi to the core. Why don't the five of you just run away? Isn't that fine?
Just as Zhang Yi thought of this, Wang Juan's voice sounded again.
"If they dare to run, you guys follow behind them. Go report to the officials now. Someone must compensate for the loss of the shop. The total is 150 strings of coins. Not one less. I spent a lot of money to buy this table. There are also plates and bowls. A pair of chopsticks is worth 200 coins."
"Yes, the boss is right. Compensation, let the five of them compensate. 150 strings of coins is not much. Otherwise, they will be arrested. Based on their crime of causing trouble, even if they don't die, they will lose a layer of skin. I know those chopsticks. They cost 200 coins a pair. That's the price for a hundred pairs at a time. If you buy them individually, one would cost 150 coins."
Zhang Yi stared at the five of them and said. His hand was still holding Wang Gang, preventing him from reporting to the officials. The officials were not far from here. If Wang Gang ran and shouted on the street, it would alarm the officials. There were powerful people there. If they came out to ask, it would be over.
Zhang Yi hated that he could not let his eyes speak and tell the five of them what to do.
The leader of the five people also reacted. Ignoring the blood on his forehead, he nodded and said, "We'll pay, we'll pay. One hundred and fifty strings of coins, isn't that a bit expensive? Chopsticks, those chopsticks, aren't they made from ordinary bamboo? They are sold in pairs. How can they be sold one by one? They can be bought with one coin … "
"The boss said it's worth 200 coins, so it's worth 200 coins. If you dare to say more, we will report to the officials." Zhang Yi said fiercely.
"Don't report to the officials. It's worth it. Really worth it. Pay up." The leader said and reached into his pocket.
Zhang Yi saw his movement and wanted to jump up and bite him to death. How many troublemakers would carry 150 strings of coins with them?
Not to mention the troublemakers, even ordinary people would not. 150 strings of coins was enough to buy a better house. It was not like they would go to a place like Between the Clouds and the Water to eat.
With hatred in his heart, Zhang Yi had to remind him again, "Brother, can you take out the money now? That's great. Once you hand over the money, you can leave. "
"Ah, ah? Now? I, I didn't take out the money. My chest hurt from the beating just now. If you want to rob a shop, just rob a shop. Why did you beat us? Yes, I have to go back and get the money. " The leader thought about it. Although he had enough money with him, he must not take it out, in case someone with bad intentions would notice something else.
"It's not a robbery. It's your personal vendetta that brought trouble to my shop. You can go and get the money, but you can't all leave. Only one of you can leave. Xiaogang, you follow that person to get the money and come back quickly.
I tell you, if anyone dares to run, I will let people shout. There are many big houses nearby. We don't shout "Thief". If we shout "Catch the thief", they may ignore it. But if we shout "Fire", they will be afraid of burning their house and will come out. Let's see how you can run. Humph! "
Wang Juan was still there with her hands on her waist and stared at them.
Everyone in the room, except for Xiaobao, was impressed by this female boss. Most people would not have thought of such a method, but it actually went wrong.
Zhang Yi felt that he should reevaluate this female boss. Not only did she like to care about small amounts of money, but she was also very smart. But it seemed that he could not let Wang Gang go with her, so he said, "Boss, let me go. Wang Gang is injured. It is not convenient for him."
"It's convenient for me. I can go." Wang Gang could not find an opportunity. Now that the opportunity was in front of him, if he did not know how to seize it, he was really a fool.
He had been suspicious of Zhang Yi. He always felt that Zhang Yi had some purpose. He also arranged people to investigate Zhang You. The result was that Zhang You had left Hangzhou and was being followed.
As for Zhang Yu, he was relieved after his identity was checked. Zhang Nan was also very familiar with him. Although he and Zhang Nan were not in the same system, they could cooperate with each other at critical times.
At present, Zhang Yi always revealed a trace of strangeness when he did things. It was not the kind of behavior that an assistant would do to please the boss. It was more to gain the power to participate in many things.
Especially when it came to the matters of the Wang Mansion that were related to the wife of the boss here, Zhang Yi was too enthusiastic.
"Boss, let me go. I am familiar with Hangzhou. I won't get lost." Zhang Yi did not want others to follow him. He was afraid that something would happen.
However, Wang Juan's purpose was to create an opportunity for Wang Gang. That was the original intention of opening the restaurant. But at that time, she did not expect that the intelligence personnel of her family, Li Longji's side, and the people of the other side would also participate.
If no one participated, she would have to follow the clues together with Xiao Bao. It would be a little troublesome, but it was not a big deal. Now that she had a helper, she would treat the restaurant as a trap.
She let them come in one by one and then let Wang Gang and the others follow them one by one. Anyway, the family did not lack manpower and material resources. No matter how the other side struggled, there were enough people to keep an eye on them.
Therefore, when Zhang Yi repeatedly asked to replace Wang Gang, Wang Juan shook her head.
"Xiao Yi, your injuries are more serious. You have been implicated. In the future, stand aside and don't block the door. Yes, ask them to give you another 10 strings of coins to buy things to nourish your body. Tomorrow morning, go to the nearby medical center to see a doctor. Remember to bring your birthplace card, or else they will charge you. Xiao Gang, go, be careful on the road."
"Yes, I will listen to the boss. Big brother, I know you are protecting me. But look at your face. Go wash it first and see which part is broken. Rub it with the boss's medicine first. Go to the medical center tomorrow and let the doctor examine you carefully. Don't leave any lingering effects."
Wang Gang said deliberately and then said to the five people, "Who will take me to get the money?"
After thinking for a while, the leader of the five people said to a person beside him, "Lao Wu, you go and borrow from Uncle Qi's family. They should be able to take out the cash."
The person who was called did not have a fracture. He nodded and turned to go out. Wang Gang followed behind him.
Zhang Yi watched as the two figures disappeared into the night. He was slightly worried. If things didn't go well, Uncle Qi's line would be cut off. He couldn't continue to operate. Who knew if there was any danger? What if someone with ulterior motives saw something?
Wang Juan's purpose was achieved. She no longer cared about the four injured people standing in the room. She said to the remaining three waiters, "Xiao Nan, Xiao Yu, you two hurry up and clean up. Xiao Yi, you wash up. There is blood everywhere. People who don't know will think that you are seriously injured. Let me take a look after you wash up."
The waiters were busy. Wang Juan turned her head and said to the others who were eating, "I am sorry, everyone. Today, there is someone in the restaurant who is seeking revenge. As a result, you have not eaten well. I will serve you another meal later. Today's wine and dishes are all on us. Don't leave."
Of course, those people would not leave. They belonged to different forces. They still wanted to continue to observe, including the people from Zhang Yi's force. They did not intend to leave. When something happened just now, they clearly saw it, but they could not help.
The tables were not broken, but the plates and other utensils were broken. After the food was taken away, it was quickly served again. She also added a few side dishes for everyone.
As for the fish that she promised to cook, the restaurant was already in such a state. If Wang Juan did not mention it, no one would find trouble with her.
When everyone was eating again, Wang Juan said to Zhang Nan, "Xiao Nan, go outside and look around. See if the person who made trouble just now was hiding somewhere. Something has happened once. We can't let it happen again. Go, keep an eye out."
Zhang Nan's eyes lit up. He also happily walked out from the back. Of course, he would not look for the person who hit people. Even if he found it, what could he do? He wanted to contact his own people so that he could keep an eye on the rest of the troublemakers and the people who were eating in the restaurant.
He did not recognize Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. The only thing he knew was which side Zhang Yu and Wang Gang were on. Just now, they were in the room, so it was not convenient for them to come out and report. Now it was all right.
He thought in his heart that this female boss was very interesting. She just casually arranged things and actually helped him and others a lot.
Not long after, Zhang Yi had cleaned up and changed his clothes. A lot of blood was stained on his clothes just now, which made people feel uncomfortable.
The blood from his nose had stopped, and there was a small cut on his forehead. The cut was not big, and there was a little blood. When he saw Wang Juan, he tried to look very energetic.
He was afraid that the boss would ask him to go to the clinic tomorrow. If he went to the clinic, if he did not want to spend money, he had to hand in his birthplace. He knew what his birthplace was. It was fake. If the clinic had special people to check it, once they found out, he might not even have time to run away.
Wang Juan also knew, but she deliberately wanted to tease Zhang Yi. When she saw Zhang Yi, she asked with concern, "Zhang Yi, do you have a headache? I mean inside. "
"It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt at all. It's just a little swollen outside and a little cut on the skin. It's okay. It won't affect my work." Zhang Yi shook his head hard and straightened his chest.
"It's good that you don't feel any pain. I'll send the money over in a moment. Your ten strings of coins is for you to nourish your body. If you want to eat outside, it's better to eat in the shop. I'll ask Shitou to make good food for you. Whatever you lack will be replenished. Since your skin is broken, I'll ask Shitou to make pig skin for you.
Wang Juan said to Zhang Yi. Her words were for discussion, but her tone did not allow the other party to object.
What else could Zhang Yi say? He could only nod. "Alright, then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Zhang. I'm going to have a good meal. Boss, you don't have to give me the money. Just take it as making something for me, hehe."
Zhang Yi was really helpless with this boss. He even wanted to take the money to nourish his body. What was this? Fortunately, he had a mission. Otherwise, he would have quit long ago. If it was an ordinary person, who would be able to stand it?
Not only was the salary low, but they also had to do a lot of work. At the same time, they only had a little rest time. Needless to say, at the end of the month, they would be finished after a few days, unless they specifically came with a purpose.
As he thought about it, Zhang Yi suddenly paused and pondered. That's right, I came here with a purpose, so why did the other three guys put up with it? Could it be that they couldn't find a more profitable job?
Impossible. It was obviously impossible. It was too easy for them to find a job that was several times more profitable than the restaurant. What did they mean? Could it be …
Thinking of this, Zhang Yi didn't dare to think about it. He felt that countless cold sweat appeared on his back in an instant, and his clothes were wet.
He began to doubt whether any of the three people were intelligence agents of the Zhang Family and the Wang Family. If there were, how many of them were intelligence agents? What was their purpose? If all three of them were intelligence agents, it didn't seem so from their usual behavior. If only one of them was intelligence agents, what were the other two doing? If none of them were intelligence agents, did the three of them have nothing better to do?
Thinking of these questions, Zhang Yi felt that the restaurant was no longer as warm as before. Instead, it became cold. He was surrounded by enemies, and he was isolated and helpless.
The more he thought about it, the more scared he became. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case. Seeing that everyone was suspicious, he didn't wake up until Wang Juan called him over and over again. He looked at Wang Juan in surprise and asked, "Boss, what did you say?"
"I said, sit down and rest. Don't stand there. You are injured, so you should have a good rest. Sleep early tonight. Little Yu, you go back with Zhang Yi and take care of him. If he has a headache or fever, you must come and tell us."
Wang Juan said to Zhang Yi and asked Zhang Yu to take care of him. She meant that the rest of the work would be left to Zhang Nan and Wang Gang.
"No, no, boss, I can do it alone. It's not a big deal. Now that it doesn't hurt, I can go back by myself."
Zhang Yi suddenly found that this was an opportunity. If he went back first, he could contact someone. If he was faster, the other three people would definitely not finish their work. Although there were people in the restaurant who would come to contact him, it was inconvenient after all.
Zhang Yu saw this. How could he do this? If he didn't go back with Zhang Yi, what if Zhang Yi did something wrong? How could he keep an eye on him? For the past two days, he found that Zhang Yi was a little problematic when doing things.
So he immediately asked, "Boss, okay, I will go. Big brother, don't force yourself. What if …"
"Okay, okay, Little Yu, since Zhang Yi is fine, you don't have to accompany him. There is still a lot of work in the restaurant. It's not a big deal to lose one person. Let Zhang Yi go back by himself and wait for the others to finish their meal. "
Wang Juan originally wanted to ask Zhang Yu to go, but Zhang Xiaobao tapped twice on the counter with his finger. It was not loud, but Wang Juan could hear it. She turned to look at Zhang Xiaobao and immediately understood what Zhang Xiaobao meant. Then she changed her words.
After waiting for half an hour, Wang Gang came back with the fifth of the five people. The money was also handed to him. As soon as he entered the restaurant, he sent the money to the counter. It was exactly 160 strings of cash, not more, not less.
"Okay, you can go now. Go and have your wounds checked. Oh, you wasted a lot of time. It would be bad if you get sick. Go, go, go. Come back often in the future."
Wang Juan counted the notes back and forth. She counted them back and forth for 20 times. Her mouth almost cracked from smiling until Zhang Xiaobao coughed. Then she carefully put away the money and said to the five people warmly.
The five of them turned around and left without saying a word. Their broken bones didn't hurt anymore. They were numb now. Whether they could come back again in the future would depend on the intentions of the people behind them. In any case, if it were up to them, they would never walk on this street again, not to mention the shop.
Not long after the five people left, the customers at the other tables also got up and left. It seemed that they didn't want to continue eating. It seemed that they could close early today.
"Zhang Yi, you go back and rest. The three of you clean up the house and wash the dishes." After closing the door, Wang Juan ordered the four people.
Zhang Yi was happy. He wanted to say something polite, such as he was fine, and he could also help. However, he was afraid that if he said it, the female boss would really make him stay.
So he didn't say anything. He just smiled and stood there with an embarrassed look. After a few breaths, he said, "Boss, Brother Zhang, I, I'll go back first."
"Go back, go back." Zhang Xiaobao waved at Zhang Yi. Zhang Yi happily turned around and left.
The remaining three people looked at each other anxiously. Seeing Zhang Yi's figure disappear at the back door, Wang Gang raised his head and frowned at Wang Juan. He opened his mouth, but finally closed it helplessly and didn't say anything.
He did not say anything, but Wang Juan said to him, "Aiya, I just remembered that you're injured too, Xiao Gang. How about this, you go back too? You can watch Xiao Yi for a while. What if he suddenly gets sick at night after being beaten up? Go on, what are you waiting for? Go quickly. "
Wang Gang almost couldn't believe his ears. The boss let him go just like that? He left at such a good time? Zhang Yi had just left. Didn't that mean that he could follow him now?
After letting out a sigh of relief, Wang Gang looked at Wang Juan gratefully. He nodded twice and said, "Boss, don't worry. I will repay you well in the future. I will do my best and won't let you worry. Then, I'll go."
After that, he trotted out of the back door.
Wang Juan pursed her lips and smiled, saying, "Of course you have to do your best. As for worrying, do you think that we don't worry about you? You are so careless. Is there a problem? Hum, I'll deal with you later. "
Zhang Yu and Zhang Nan heard it clearly. Zhang Yu didn't think too much. He just thought that the female boss gave him some benefits like charity.
However, Zhang Nan had a feeling that the female boss was implying something. According to the female boss's words, she even mentioned him. After he found someone to contact, he only asked them to keep an eye on the people who were eating and causing trouble in the restaurant. However, he didn't have anyone to guard the surrounding area of the restaurant and the employees who were leaving the restaurant.
There was a problem. There was a problem, and it was a big problem. If Zhang Yi was free, it might cause a lot of trouble.
Of course, it was also enough for the boss to worry about. The series of events that happened tonight seemed to have coincidentally arranged the four of them, especially him and Wang Gang. It was as if the boss was cooperating with each other. Their cooperation was called tacit understanding.
What he and Wang Gang needed, the boss immediately provided the opportunity. How was it possible? Especially when Wang Gang left just now, it was too good to be true.
Thinking of this, Zhang Nan looked at the female boss. As a result, he saw the female boss stare at him and shout, "What are you looking at? There are only two of you left. Why don't you go to work? Do you want to delay until tomorrow morning? Ah? I give you a salary, but what do I keep you for?
Look at you. The whole restaurant is full of work. You just stand there stupidly. Don't you know how to do things? You still want to eat fish? Stone won't let you eat the fish when it's ready. Even a dog knows how to lick its master's feces. What's the use of keeping you? Ah? Why are you still standing? "
Zhang Nan's thoughts were all gone. He didn't dare to think blindly anymore. He started to get busy with Zhang Yu. After the table was cleared, they began to wash the dishes as if their lives depended on it.
The aroma of the braised fish wafted into their noses after they finished washing the bowls. Zhang Xiaobao scooped the fish onto a special long plate, smiled at the two of them and said, "Brother Zhang Xiaobao.
You've worked hard today. You've done a lot of things. It's not easy. I'll give you a reward. It's a small recognition that you've made a small contribution. You have to continue to work hard. Listen to the boss, and you'll definitely do things smoothly, right? "
When Zhang Nan heard Zhang Xiaobao's words, the idea in his mind just now emerged again.
