Destiny Koi, I'm cheating after rebirth

Chapter 142 Monitoring the Gu Family

Qian Zhitai's ambition is obviously greater than his father's, and he is far from being satisfied with this.

He was no longer satisfied with the remote Pengze County.

How great it would be if I could curry favor with the dignitaries in Beijing and make my way there!

Whenever Qian Zhitai thought of such a beautiful future, his heart surged and his blood boiled.

Because of this, he would do his best to complete the tasks assigned by the powerful.

"Young Master, are you looking for me?" Li Licheng asked fearfully.

"Well, sit down." Qian Zhitai pointed to the stool opposite with the fan in his hand.

Li Li was flattered and sat down on the stool tremblingly, but his butt just touched the edge of the stool.

After all, the person in front of him is the young master of the restaurant and has an extremely noble status. How dare he be on the same level with him?

He hurriedly grabbed the teapot and carefully poured Qian Zhitai a cup of hot tea.

As the steam rises, a faint tea fragrance spreads.

Qian Zhitai picked up the cup, took a sniff, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Well, this tea is really fragrant!"

He took a sip of tea, then put down the cup and looked at Li Li and asked, "Li Li, do you know why I asked you to come here?"

Li Li nodded hurriedly and responded, "I know, Young Master."

Then, he began to report the situation of the Gu family to Qian Zhitai in detail: "The Gu family has not had any unusual behavior recently.

Some time ago, Gu Cheng took his son and nephew to visit relatives and friends in the neighboring county.

I know that the young master will definitely ask about the Gu family when he returns from his ten-day break at the academy today, so I went home yesterday to inquire about the news in the village. "

Next, Li Li reported to Qian Zhitai all the information he had obtained from his family yesterday.

Of course, Li Li not only relied on the clues provided by his family, but also asked around in the village.

As far as he knew, Gu Cheng's family lived the same life as before and there was nothing special about it.

Li Li was able to get a job at Qianfu Restaurant thanks to this job.

Although he did not understand why the young master was so concerned about the Gu Cheng family, he knew very well that if he could not complete this task successfully, he might even lose his job at the restaurant.

Therefore, every time he returned home, he would do his best to ask his family to keep a close eye on the Gu family's movements and report any signs of trouble to him immediately.

Li Li did indeed reap a lot of benefits from it.

For example, Gu Jia Dalang wanted to go to the county town to learn a craft. It is said that he found the best carpenter shop in the county town and prepared to become an apprentice.

After he heard the news, he immediately reported it to the young master.

The young master then gave him fifty coins as a reward.

Of course, Li Li always felt that this matter was of some importance.

So, after a while, he went to find out secretly on his own.

The result was shocking - the carpentry shop that Gu Jia Dalang had originally booked to learn skills suddenly stopped accepting apprentices for some unknown reason!

In the end, Gu Jia Dalang had to settle for the second best and chose another carpentry shop which was obviously less famous than the former one.

Going back some time, Li Li suddenly remembered that Gu Jia Erlang had been studying at Qingsong Academy in the past few years, and his grades were very good. He was always among the top in every exam.

By the way, it seems that the young master also studied in that academy, right?

But strangely, not long after, Gu Jiajilang dropped out of school for unknown reasons.

Nowadays, Erlang of the Gu family can only make a living by picking up mountain products.

Thinking of this, Li Li couldn't help but start to have wild thoughts, but the more he thought about it, the more frightened and horrified he became.

But then again, these matters were beyond the scope of something a small waiter like him could inquire about or interfere with.

At this moment, the person on the other side asked calmly, "Is the eldest son of the Gu family still in that carpenter's shop?"

Li Li quickly replied, "Back to the young master's house. I heard some time ago that he took a leave of absence and went out with his family to visit relatives."

Oh? Qian Zhitai tapped the table lightly with one hand, and after a moment's silence, he asked, "Is Gu Er still picking up mountain products in the mountains?"

Not only did he know this, he also witnessed it with his own eyes.

Li Li quickly replied, "To answer the young master, yes. Yesterday I saw him with my own eyes walking up the mountain with a bamboo basket on his back."

When Qian Zhitai thought of the elegant and admirable Gu Er in the past in the academy, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Today, Gu Er is wearing tattered clothes and can only rely on picking up mountain products to make a living.

He really wanted all those teachers and classmates who had praised Gu Er to come and see: Is this the outstanding student that you have been praising so much?

Now you are still being stepped on by him!

Be a real farmer with your face to the earth and your back to the sky!

"Hmm..." Qian Zhitai waved his hand, his eyes still fixed on the front, and said slowly, "If you have any news, you must report it to me immediately, and I will reward you then."

Upon hearing this, Li Li quickly responded, "I understand. Thank you, Young Master!"

However, just as Li Li was about to turn around and leave, he seemed to suddenly remember something and hesitated for a moment. Qian Zhitai paused and asked, "What else? Feel free to tell me."

Li Li hesitated for a moment, then mustered up the courage to say, "That's right, Young Master.

There is a peddler living in the village next to ours, and he has now opened a shop in the county town.

He wants to ask if our restaurant has any relevant connections to provide. "

At first, when Qian Zhitai heard that it was just a shop run by a peddler, he didn't pay much attention to it.

His father never let him interfere in the operation of the restaurant.

But then I thought...

Qian Zhitai hurriedly asked, "Did Gu Er sell the mountain products to this peddler?"

Although Li Li was somewhat confused, he immediately and conspicuously responded, "Yes, Young Master."

Qian Zhitai pondered for a moment and decided that it was related to Gu Er...

Finally, he decided to give the peddler a chance, so he ordered: "Well, let him go to ask Manager Niu."

This means that he has given the other party an opportunity for possible cooperation.

Qian Zhitai’s idea is that he should keep in his hands anyone who is related to Gu Er, as he may be able to use them at any time.

Then we can attack or defend...

Or maybe it would be best if he was always trampled in the dust and never used again.

Li Li was overjoyed and quickly bowed to Qian Zhitai to express his gratitude. He couldn't wait to go back and tell Zhang the peddler the good news.

So he deliberately accepted the 50-wen brokerage fee from Zhang the peddler with a clear conscience.
