Chapter 25 Ask the truth

"Why are you still standing there? Throw it out." The waiter urged unhappily, for fear of disturbing Changfeng's elegance.

The strong man was about to drag the person out after receiving the order. At the critical moment, Changfeng Youyou said: "This person is my friend."

When the waiter heard this, he immediately rushed to catch up with the strong man and rescued the man. He also said with a look of begging for mercy: "Young man is ignorant, I don't know that this man is a friend of Master Changfeng, and he has offended many people."

Geng Hu got up from the ground and saw that the waiter was so respectful to him. He shook off the dust and wrinkles on his sleeves and pretended to be: "Huh! I am in a good mood today and I won't argue with you. If this is the case,

In the past, you, a dog, would have looked down upon others and would have suffered no good consequences."

The waiter kept groveling, not daring to say a word to refute.

Changfeng couldn't help but secretly laugh at Geng Hu's aggressive behavior, but he still had a kind look on his face: "Brother Geng, this person is not guilty if he doesn't know. For the sake of face, let's forget about today's matter."

"Since Brother Changfeng has spoken, let's forget it."

Seeing Changfeng hand over the steps, Geng Hu didn't want to worry about it anymore, so he waved his sleeves and chased the waiter away, and sat down with Changfeng.

Geng Hu diligently filled the wine glass for Chang Feng, then remembered and asked: "It's a coincidence that I met Brother Chang Feng here today." He also asked him to see him in such a shameful state. Geng Hu thought of this

I can't help but feel embarrassed everywhere.

Changfeng chuckled silently and murmured in his heart: How come there are so many coincidences? I have been with you all the way, and I didn't realize it. How stupid.

Geng Hu didn't notice anything was wrong with Chang Feng, and was eating the food and wine by himself. Upon seeing this, Chang Feng hurriedly thought about how to trick Geng Hu out of his words, and suddenly he had an idea.

"Come on, brother Geng, drink, drink." Changfeng picked up the wine flask and poured one cup after another for Geng Hu.

Geng Hu couldn't resist, so he put down his wine glass and asked: "Hey, brother Changfeng, what happened to you today? Since you and I are drinking, why are you in such a hurry?"

Changfeng was afraid that Geng Hu would notice something, so he laughed back and said, "Brother Geng, what are you talking about? I just want you to try more of the wine in this restaurant."

"That's the case, then I will definitely not live up to Brother Changfeng's kindness." As he said that, Geng Hu drank the wine in the wine cup in one gulp.

After hearing this, Changfeng breathed a sigh of relief and continued to pour wine to Geng Hu with a smile.

This Geng Hu's drinking capacity was far less than he looked like. Before he could finish a few glasses of strong wine, he drunkenly started talking nonsense: "This Cheng Wenyu doesn't think he is a scholar, but he is actually a bitch hypocrite!

I have done so many things for him, and he still treats me like a dog, so be careful if one day I am stabbed out by him, and he will not end well!"

Seeing Geng Hu dancing around and looking resentful, Changfeng concluded that Cheng Wenyu had asked Geng Hu to do many shameful things for him.

Changfeng took advantage of the victory to pursue the victory, pressed down Geng Hu's hand that was about to pour another drink, and said tentatively: "A few days ago, Madam Song from the dessert shop in the city was attacked by bandits. Is there anything strange in this?"

Geng Hu suddenly threw away his hand, which made Changfeng startled and thought that Geng Hu had discovered something. He was about to say something to make up for it, but the other party directly pressed his head and pressed it close to him.

Smelling the pungent smell of alcohol, Changfeng endured the discomfort.

If it wasn't for information, how could he bear it?

"Me and you, you really asked the right person."

At this time, Geng Hu had been completely paralyzed by alcohol and could not remember Chang Feng's identity at all. He raised his head and looked around vigilantly, then lowered his head and whispered: "Before that gang of bandits robbed that girl named Song, I will

I've seen them. I didn't expect those losers to take my money to do such a bad thing, bah! They can't even handle a woman and a brat, they are a bunch of losers."

Fortunately, Changfeng dodged in time to prevent Geng Hu's saliva from spraying on his face. He pushed Geng Hu's face away in disgust.

Geng Hu didn't care. He smiled sillyly while holding the wine flask and filling up the wine again. He still asked the waiter to serve the wine.

Changfeng had already got what he wanted to know, and he no longer had the time to drink with Geng Hu here. At this time, he just wanted to tell Ji Changye this as soon as possible.

"Uncle Changfeng, do these wines and dishes suit your appetite?" The waiter brought a pot of wine. Seeing Changfeng getting up and wanting to leave, he hurriedly asked. Although he didn't say it clearly, he probably meant to ask how the account should be settled.

Changfeng glanced at Geng Hu and replied: "This man is a boy from the Cheng family. If you want to pay, go to the Cheng family." He suffered from the stench of Geng Hu's drunkenness, but he never had the kindness to settle the bill with him.

.

Not allowing the waiter to ask any more questions, Changfeng strode away.

"Hey!" The waiter couldn't help sighing. It was all in vain. In the end, he still had to tangle with this fancy foodie.

However, since they knew that he was a young boy of the Cheng family, they would not have to lose any money.

"You guys, send him to the Cheng family, and check the accounts with the housekeeper to get the money back. If there is one copper less, the shopkeeper will not let you go easily."

Geng Hu still wanted to beg for a drink, but he didn't want to pounce on the wine bottle held by the waiter and empty it. Two strong men pulled his clothes and dragged him out. His head hit the threshold, and the world suddenly spun around, and his eyes went dark.

He died and lost consciousness.

Geng Hu was still unconscious when he was sent to the concierge of the Cheng family. The housekeeper cursed inwardly and settled the restaurant's debt for him.

"I really can't understand my lowly status. I dare to go to that restaurant to have a drink and come back like this. I will lose the Cheng family's face. If the master punishes him, he will kneel down for several hours." I saw other servants gathered around to take a look.

It was so lively that the housekeeper simply killed the chicken to scare the monkeys and scolded Geng Hu who was lying on the ground.

At this moment, Cheng Wenyu, who was going out to do some business, got off the carriage, entered the gate of the mansion, and saw people surrounding the courtyard. He couldn't help frowning and saying, "What are you doing here?"

After hearing Cheng Wenyu's voice, the servants dispersed and hid in the dark to watch the fun.

"Young Master, you are back." The housekeeper couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, fearing that Cheng Wenyu might have heard what he just said. After all, in such a wealthy family, the only role of the master is to reprimand the servants, so who would be like him?

The status of a son establishes authority.

Fortunately, Cheng Wenyu didn't hear it.

Seeing Geng Hu's unconscious drunken state, Cheng Wenyu became a little angry: "There are rules in the house. No one is allowed to drink alcohol and cause trouble while working. Someone will wake him up."

The housekeeper hurriedly asked someone to bring a large bucket of cold water and poured it all over Geng Hu's body. Geng Hu's consciousness suddenly came to his senses and he sat up from the ground nervously: "Who the hell should you do!"

Seeing Cheng Wenyu standing in front of him, Geng Hu didn't dare to say the words that reached his lips. He knelt on the ground and clapped his hands like a confession: "I'm stupid, I didn't know that the young master was here. I deserve to die, I hope you don't blame me!

"

"Don't you know the rules of the house? You've been following me for many years, but you're still acting like this. What happened? You brought it to me truthfully!"

Geng Hu was so frightened that his voice trembled, but he did not dare to hide anything and told the whole story: "I had some free time today, so I thought of going out to have some wine. I got excited and went to the restaurant to meet him.

Guard Changfeng, the two of us got drunk after reminiscing about old times. The younger one lost consciousness and saw you when he woke up." Speaking of this, Geng Hu felt a stabbing pain in his head. He didn't know when he hit something.

It actually swelled up.

Cheng Wenyu, who was just going through the motions according to the rules, suddenly felt nervous when he heard Geng Hu mention Changfeng.

"Come to my study."

Seeing Cheng Wenyu walking away, Geng Hu slumped on the ground at a loss. He thought to himself that he was just drunk, so Cheng Wenyu wouldn't really want to go to war to punish him, right?

Others also started whispering.

"Geng Hu, the master has given me an order, why don't you go quickly?" the housekeeper urged, looking like he was gloating about his misfortune.

Geng Hu then went to the backyard study with trembling legs.

Cheng Wenyu closed the doors and windows tightly and asked: "You said you were with that Changfeng after you were drunk?"

"Yes, he came to rescue Xiao Xiao at first..."

Seeing Cheng Wenyu's sudden worried look, Geng Hu couldn't help but feel strange, and told the story of his encounter with Changfeng again: "It's strange to think about it. He seemed to have come prepared, and he happened to be a substitute in that restaurant.

A small relief."

Cheng Wenyu sat down thoughtfully, suppressing the uneasiness that suddenly rose in his heart, and asked: "Then did he ask you anything? Or did you leak something?"

Geng Hu pretended to think about it. To be honest, he was seeing wine like a dream, how could he still think of these things? What's more, he didn't know anything after being drunk, and he knew his virtue well. It was probably what Changfeng asked him that he said.

What.

But Geng Hu naturally couldn't tell the truth, so he shook his head and said: "The young man has a very tight mouth, he will definitely not be able to ask anything."

Cheng Wenyu looked at Geng Hu, and when he saw that he was a little guilty, he secretly complained that he should have been on guard against Ji Changye doubting him and sent Changfeng to inquire about the news. If they knew anything, his plan would be completely ruined.

But now they have only heard a few words, and they will definitely come back to investigate again, so leaving Geng Hu alone will cause endless troubles.

Cheng Wenyu changed his appearance and said with a smile: "Of course I believe you. By the way, I left a few pieces of material in the cloth workshop in Hexi earlier. You and I can take back the pieces you like and keep them for making clothes."

, just leave the rest to the steward."

Geng Hu is a very thoughtful person, and when he sees money, he forgets all the previous things when he sees the benefits. He is only thinking about how much the good material is worth.

"Thank you, Master!" After hearing this, Geng Hu knelt down and nodded. Because he was poured with cold water, water droplets were all over his body, and it was also thrown on Cheng Wenyu, which caused great dissatisfaction.

"That's all, go quickly."

Geng Hu agreed and hurriedly left the study, changed into clean clothes and walked out of the Cheng Mansion in a confident manner.

"Young Master didn't punish him?"

"It's good luck that the young master puts him in a good position."

Seeing Geng Hu acting like a normal person, the housekeeper couldn't help but grit his teeth, but he could only swallow it back.

Bufang in Hexi.

"Uncle Geng, Mr. Cheng's fabric."

The shopkeeper brought the cloth, and Geng Hu touched it contemptuously with a satisfied look on his face: "The material from your cloth shop is very good. If you make clothes and wear them, you will look really good."

The shopkeeper immediately boasted: "You are right. My Li family is ranked second in cloth in the whole town. Who dares to be ranked first? Mr. Cheng and I have better judgment."

Geng Hu was very pleased with these compliments. He picked up the cloth and stood up and walked out and said, "You are lucky to be appreciated by the young master. When you get back, I will speak more nice words for you in front of the young master so that your business will be more prosperous."

Every merchant in the town wanted to make friends with the Cheng family, so the shopkeeper naturally agreed happily and respectfully sent Geng Hu off.

Geng Hu was walking on the road, thinking about which piece of fabric he should keep to make clothes. Suddenly, several men in ragged beggars walked in front of him.

Seeing them blocking his way, Geng Hu suddenly became angry and shouted: "The stinky beggar is blocking my way, do you know? Get out of here!"
