Dressed as an old woman, I carry the system and my son to escape the famine

Zhang Fang also has a bad temper, and at this moment, it is really unbearable.

He placed the bowls and chopsticks in his hands heavily on the table, snorted coldly, and his tone became a bit harsher: "It seems that you really don't know what your good brother has done. He is now with Young Master Li. They worked together and even planned the poisoning incident at Jiutian Restaurant some time ago."

"The proprietress of Jiutian Restaurant came to me just now. The two of us carefully calculated it and suddenly realized that Li Chen had indeed done a lot of things during this period that none of us knew about. Moreover, the proprietress of Jiutian Restaurant once had a dispute with Mr. Li. It is a contradiction, so it is conceivable that Mr. Li asked Li Chen to deliberately take revenge on Jiutian Restaurant, so the poisoning occurred. "

Zhang Fang told Li Hua exactly what happened recently.

After Li Hua heard this, he became very angry. He really couldn't eat. He put the bowls and chopsticks on the table irritably. He thought for a moment and then said: "I didn't expect this kid to be so bold. I thought I would conspire for him in the restaurant." The job of a housekeeper is enough to satisfy him, but he didn't expect that now he is going even harder and doesn't take us seriously at all."

Li Chen has accomplished nothing, and he doesn't even have any skills. He is always lazy no matter where he goes, and is disliked by everyone.

Only Li Hua felt sorry for his younger brother, so he kept him in Fanghua Pavilion and gave him a position as a housekeeper.

I just didn't expect that he seemed to have reformed and was taking care of everything here down-to-earth. I didn't expect that he was secretly using his position to collude with powerful people everywhere.

Now, he met Mr. Li, and he finally hit the wall.

If one is not careful, Brother Fanghua may even go bankrupt.

The couple thought carefully for a moment, really not knowing how to deal with it. Li Hua decided to slowly remove the power from Li Chen so as not to implicate Fanghua Pavilion.

Yao Shu returned to Jiutian Restaurant and told the Song family everything about Fanghua Pavilion.

They did not expect that the matter could still be linked to the affairs of the imperial court.

After thinking about it, I feel like there is nothing I can do. This matter is really too difficult.

Firstly, they do not have enough status to compete with the Minister of Rites, and secondly, they are still suspected by the emperor. If they are not careful, they may even be completely destroyed.

"Mom, we are encountering this kind of thing now. If we don't solve it properly, we might get into trouble. Why don't we go back to Zhangzhou City for a while to escape. It just so happens that the two restaurants in Zhangzhou City are doing very well now. , but there is a small problem inside, and we need to go and solve it." Shen Bei frowned. He was originally a person who dared to take risks, but now that he has his own wife and children, he does not dare to take any more risks. Go on an adventure.

They have to be careful in everything, after all, the Minister of Rites is a position that they have no way to compete with.

If the Minister of Rites really gets aggressive, I'm afraid the Shen family can easily be crushed by him.

"No, if we return to Zhangzhou City now, although we are safe, Fanghua Pavilion will inevitably be suspected." Yao Shu immediately stopped his idea, "Now that our two families have formed an alliance, it is natural to solve the problem together. This is such a trouble. If something goes wrong in Fanghua Pavilion, Jiutian Jiulou will be the next one to go bankrupt. Everyone should understand this, so we can’t escape at this time."

Shen Bei thought about it carefully and felt that what Yao Shu said made sense.

"Then what should we do now?"

"If you ask me, you should still take advantage of the situation, but it is very likely that Fanghua Pavilion will not be saved." Shen Jian'an in the corner said softly.

In fact, Yao Shu also had this idea, but she didn't know how to say it.

Mr. Li is a person who will not give up until he achieves his goal, and there are so many eyes in Fanghua Pavilion. Since he dares to take action, it means that the Minister of Rites acquiesces.

If he guessed correctly, what the Minister of Rites wants to do is to buy Fanghua Pavilion, and then use Fanghua Pavilion's business model to convey information.

Shen Nanshan hadn't thought about this level yet, and subconsciously stared: "What are you talking about? In broad daylight, can the Minister of Rites directly intervene in Fanghua Pavilion?"

Yao Shu lowered her eyes and slowly raised a smile at the corner of her mouth.

The balance of power was far more terrifying than Shen Nanshan imagined. He only saw the surface without thinking carefully about the deeper layers. The power of the Minister of Rites is unique. Since he can form a check and balance with the Prime Minister in the court, it means that his power is far superior to that of the Prime Minister.

After all, the official position of the Prime Minister is greater than that of the Minister of Rites, and now the Minister of Rites and the Prime Minister have the same rights and status. This shows that the Minister of Rites has many helpers in the court, so he is so arrogant.

If such a capable person wanted to win a restaurant, wouldn't it be easy?

"So what mother is saying is that the Minister of Rites used the head of Fanghua Pavilion to slander our Jiutian Restaurant, in order to hope that our Jiutian Restaurant will take the initiative, thus putting Fanghua Pavilion on the verge of bankruptcy, and he will enjoy the benefits of being a fisherman." Shen Bei also reacted immediately and expressed his thoughts.

Yao Shu nodded approvingly: "That's what you said, but this is also my guess. The specific situation needs to be analyzed in detail."

A few days later, Yao Shu's suspicion was quickly confirmed.

Some powerful people can start going to Fanghua Pavilion, saying that Fanghua Pavilion is not only unhygienic, but also exposes everyone's privacy.

The reason why the dignitaries are willing to go to Fanghua Pavilion is, firstly, because Fanghua Pavilion is relatively hidden, and the environment and food are all the best; secondly, because Fanghua Pavilion is full of wealthy people, so they are not worried. What was discussed was heard by ordinary people.

But through the narrations of these powerful people, we can know that all their conversations during this period were heard by the surrounding people.

With such a poor and direct excuse, it is naturally difficult to win over others.

It's just that the boss and proprietress of Fanghua Pavilion are unable to compete. They try their best to suppress this matter and prevent it from continuing to ferment.

It's just that the power of public opinion is getting stronger and stronger, making it really difficult for them to counterbalance it.

So impatient, they could only temporarily close Fanghua Pavilion and hide in Jiutian Restaurant.

In everyone's eyes, Jiutian Restaurant and Fanghua Pavilion are incompatible with each other, and they will even engage in some commercial wars, and Fanghua Pavilion will definitely not be taken in.

It is said that the most dangerous place is the safest. The Minister of Rites and Master Li did not expect that they would be at Jiutian Restaurant.
