Chapter 74 The Taojia Winery and the Swordsman with the Sword
In the dilapidated alley.
As soon as Li Mengzhou walked out of the yard, a sedan chair slowly drove over. After the sedan chair stopped, the curtain was lifted, and Tong Xin, with a beautiful face and figure, walked out of the car.
Because the weather is still not too cool, Tong Xin's clothes are also a bit light, but the places where they cannot be exposed are not exposed, which makes her feel more charming.
Li Mengzhou had also seen strong winds and waves. He just glanced at this, then looked at Tong Xin calmly and said, "Tong Lu is not here."
Tong Xin smiled and said, "I didn't come to find my brother, he is at home now."
Li Mengzhou frowned slightly and said, "Who are you looking for?"
Tong Xin pursed her lips and said, "Look for you, Mr. Li."
Li Mengzhou was a little confused, but he soon thought of something.
Tong Xin was indeed here to find Li Mengzhou. Tong Xin was very embarrassed and angry when she learned that Tao Shi wanted to take her as her concubine. After all, Tao Shi was her father's friend, and there was a big gap in age and seniority. Tao Shi's conditions were undoubtedly a humiliation to Tong Xin.
But the Tong family does need external forces to support them in order to maintain their family business. Li Mengzhou represents the Taiqinglou of the Ye clan. If he can get a relationship with Taiqinglou, even if the Ye clan has no business in Baihong Town, it is still impossible to compare with the Tao family and the richest Ma family. If he can get the support of Li Mengzhou, why should he care about a mere Tao Shi?
Although Tong Xin was very disdainful to come to dirty places like dilapidated alleys, for the sake of Tong's family, she had to come to find Li Mengzhou in person.
Tong Xin was considered a doctor who was sick and went to the hospital. Tao Shi knew how to find out the authenticity of Li Mengzhou's identity, but Tong Xin couldn't care about so much. She felt that she could fully prove Li Mengzhou's identity when she was in the Tao family winery, and she must not miss this opportunity.
Coincidentally, his younger brother Tong Lu often went to the dilapidated alley to see the old man who was originally considered a beggar by Tong Xin, but Li Mengzhou was the younger man of the old man and a relative, even if he was just a relative, since Li Mengzhou could live in a dilapidated alley, if Li Mengzhou was not particular about the details, he would have respected the old man very much.
This is all an opportunity to come to your door.
It was the same thing that she came to find Li Mengzhou in person, and she also arranged for her younger brother Tong Lu to bring tea to the old man and establish a good relationship. Both sides did it at the same time, and were they afraid that Li Mengzhou would not help the Tong family?
But what made her a little hateful was that Tong Lu actually disagreed. He felt that his relationship with the old man must not be related to such interests, so it turned out that he had some intentions towards the old man and disagreed with anything he said.
There was no way, so Tong Xin could only leave it alone for the time being and first establish a good relationship with Li Mengzhou.
Although Li Mengzhou didn't know the details inside, he could probably guess what Tong Xin was doing here, and his expression became quite meaningful.
He casually said a few words, then sent Tong Xin away, thought about it for a while, and then continued to head towards the Tao Family Winery.
......
Tao Shi was also facing difficulties at this time, and there was another problem with the wine in Taojia Winery. Several guests in the restaurant foamed at the mouth and twitched all over. If the doctor had not come in time, it would have caused a life.
What's even more troublesome is that the victims once emerged one after another, either blocking the restaurants that had happened, or directly besieging the Tao family winery. Some people ran directly to the ward office to make noise, which made Tao Shi not have time to react, and the matter became a big deal as quickly as possible.
Even though Tao Shi started to suppress the matter at the first time and even reluctantly gave the money to the garrison government office, because there were too many noisy people, they all criticized the Tao family winery. The garrison government office could not settle the matter, and they did not accept Tao Shi's money at all. They soon sent officials from the government office to conduct a thorough investigation of the Tao family winery and gave justice to the people in Baihong Town.
Now, there is no need to be the past. Not only did there be an accident in a restaurant that used the wine from the Tao family winery, but most of them were all in trouble. Even if the guards want to take the Tao family's money, they can't do it at will, so they can only try their best to investigate and deal with it.
Compared to the loss of the people's hearts in the garrison of the government office, what is a mere Tao family?
When Li Mengzhou came to Taojia Winery, he discovered a spectacular scene.
In addition to the victims causing trouble, there were also people who had nothing to do with them. They were just joining in the fun and there were also people who stood up for the wrongdoing, which made the incident become increasingly serious.
Some victims even made this incident at the government office closest to Baihong Town in Dishui County. Under pressure from above, the ward of Baihong Town did not dare to slack off. Naturally, they completely abandoned the Tao family and made every effort to investigate. They directly blocked the Tao family winery and jailed Tao Shi.
Tao Shi, who was escorted by the official, was being criticized by the people. He was anxious and wanted to argue, but his voice could not suppress the angry Baihong Town people. He also knew that there was indeed something wrong with his own wine. After all, it was not the first time that something happened, but this time it was so big that he didn't expect, and he felt a sense of despair in his heart.
He raised his head in a trance and saw Li Mengzhou. His eyes lit up and he quickly cried and said, "Young Master Li, help me!"
He had no idea what to do. He only thought in his heart that Li Mengzhou was from Taiqinglou and that he had to cooperate with their Tao family. He thought that if Taiqinglou could help suppress this matter, he would still have a glimmer of hope.
But he didn't expect that even though Taiqinglou intends to cooperate with Taojia Winery, there is a problem with Taojia Winery's winery, why is Taiqinglou still willing to pay attention to him? It would be good if he didn't take any harm to the wrong person, let alone Li Mengzhou's identity is still fake.
In fact, something suddenly happened to Taojia Winery and had something to do with Li Mengzhou.
He originally wanted to ask the victims to sue the Tao family winery, and then he refused to cooperate with Tao Shi with the power of Taiqinglou, so that Tao Shi could only take out the silver, and he bleeded a lot, and then revealed his identity and left with ease. After such a big loss, the Tao family winery fell directly from the position of a wealthy businessman in Baihong Town.
But Li Mengzhou never expected that something happened to the Tao family winery. Combined with the victims he arranged in advance, the wind direction completely changed. This not only made Tao Shi take out half of his property in exchange for cooperation with Taiqinglou, but directly flattened the Tao family.
Although the result exceeded Li Mengzhou's plan, Tao Shi's fault was his own fault. He knew that there was something wrong with the wine, but he still refused to repent and did not take the safety of the drinker seriously. Li Mengzhou naturally didn't bother to pay attention to it. Although this happened, he could not "rob the rich and help the poor" from Tao Shi, but it was nothing to him.
The money he gave to Zhao Sandao has been paid, and the rest is nothing more than the issue of travel expenses, so he can naturally think of other solutions.
Faced with Tao Shi's heart-wrenching call for help, Li Mengzhou looked calm and had no intention of directly revealing the fact that he had nothing to do with Taiqinglou. After all, he was responsible for pretending to cheat money. Li Mengzhou would not foolishly hit the knife of the guard's yamen.
Tao Shi, who didn't know that Li Mengzhou's identity was fake, naturally couldn't burn the fire to Li Mengzhou's head, because he himself knew very well that if he involved the Ye clan, he would probably die even worse.
Without caring about this matter anymore, Li Mengzhou turned around and left.
Tao Shi was arrested and imprisoned, so the victims naturally had to be compensated, and the Tao family's industries were also confiscated, which was a happy result.
This storm still swept through Baihong Town for a long time. Even if things go by, it will become a topic of conversation for the people after dinner. Only after a long time will it be gradually forgotten.
The Tao family's property needs to be confiscated, while the Tao family's property will be auctioned to allow the wealthy businessmen in Baihong Town to seize it. The richest man's Ma family naturally moved and directly included most of the Tao family's property, while the rest were separated by other merchants. Even the Tong family also gained some small profits.
Baihong Town lost one of the best wine merchants like Tao Family Winery, and the restaurant business became the object that other wine merchants need to compete for. The Ma family also turned their attention to getting involved in the tea art business to the winery. They obviously had no time to pay attention to tea art in a short period of time, which gave the Tong family a chance to catch their breath.
But what Li Mengzhou didn't expect was that because his identity as Taiqinglou was not revealed, there would be subsequent events.
One evening, Tonglu came to a dilapidated alley.
Li Mengzhou and the others had just prepared dinner when they saw Tong Lu walking in with a few boxes of tea.
Gushan Gu waved his hand and asked Tong Lu to sit down and have a meal too.
Although Tong Lu felt a little embarrassed, he did not refuse.
Although the Tong family is barely able to maintain its current home business, it is not an easy task to recreate its former home business.
Fortunately, Tong Lu also began to learn how to do business seriously. As long as the Ma family would not beat the Tong family to death, at least even if the Tong family's business would plummet, they would not be desperate.
Now the Ma family has no time to compete for business with the Tong family.
Tong Lu rarely comes to the dilapidated alleys because of family affairs. Before, Li Mengzhou was busy forging treasure swords and earning money, he had never met Tong Lu several times. Instead, because Xiao Zhinan has been staying in the dilapidated alley, Tong Lu is relatively familiar with her.
At this time, Tong Lu was sitting opposite Xiao Zhinan. He was quite shy and dared to look at Gu Shanke. When he subconsciously caught Xiao Zhinan sitting opposite him, he seemed to be frightened and quickly looked away.
This made Xiao Zhinan, who noticed this scene, quite puzzled. She turned her eyes to Li Mengzhou, thought about his busy work recently, and asked: "You are a sword cultivator, why do you have to forge a knife?"
Although Li Mengzhou started to be busy with this matter when he first arrived in Baihong Town, Xiao Zhinan did not ask seriously. He suddenly remembered it and asked.
After all, a sword cultivator is holding a knife, which is really a strange scene.
