"Who knows if Ms. Xie is playing empty tricks?" Shopkeeper Wu stood up.

The two were in the middle of a verbal lawsuit, when they suddenly heard an anxious voice from outside the door——

"The shopkeeper! The shopkeeper!" The boy stumbled all the way into the main hall, his face was pale, his cheeks sunken, and he couldn't even speak steadily, "The backyard...the warehouse in the backyard is on fire!"

"What!" Shopkeeper Wu suddenly got up, and he said anxiously, "Why are you standing here so stupidly, hurry up and put out the fire!"

After all, shopkeeper Wu didn't care about Xie Chaoyu behind him, and ran straight to the warehouse behind. Xie Chaoyu put down the teacup and followed him out.

I saw people from the Wu Mansion running back and forth, carrying buckets and basins in their hands, and some people's faces were blackened by the smoke, and the sound of coughing spread throughout the Wu Mansion.Xie Zhaoyu covered He's mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and just as he walked around the main hall, his arm was suddenly pulled behind the pillar by a person——

"Miss!" Liu Anjiu showed a surprised expression, and called his family's miss in a low voice.

"Aren't you injured?" Xie Zhaoyu hid behind the pillar, glanced at Liu Anjiu, and asked.

"I'm fine. I just did everything according to Miss's instructions." Liu Anjiu said, "The people who just set fire to it have slipped out through the back door. I came back to pick up Miss."

"Then what about the tea leaves, have they all been shipped out?" Xie Zhaoyu was concerned about the batch of tea leaves that were repacked by shopkeeper Wu.

"Miss, don't worry, it's all shipped out." Liu Anjiu looked around in a hurry, and said, "The tea leaves that are burned in the back warehouse are the rotten tea stems on the ship."

"That's good, let's go now." Xie Zhaoyu nodded. She didn't want to use this kind of trick, but the batch of tea leaves is in the hands of shopkeeper Wu. Although the method of setting fire to the warehouse is a bad idea, it can get the tea back into his hands, and Xie Zhaoyu can't care less about it.

Coming alone makes people relax their vigilance, so that Xie Chaoyu's men who slipped in can transport the tea leaves intact and quietly. As for how the Wu family handles the rest, that is the Wu family's business.

Chapter 13

A fire burned everything in the back warehouse.

By the time the fire was completely cleaned up, it was already sunset.Shopkeeper Wu was carrying a wooden barrel, his face was covered with dust marks.

With a "bang", the wooden barrel was kicked away vigorously, and most of the water inside was overturned, and flowed out of the wooden barrel, dripping on the ground full of ashes.

"You bastards!" Shopkeeper Wu said with wide-eyed anger, and he kicked the wooden barrel far away without letting go of his anger after speaking. "Tell me one by one how the fire started!"

"I don't know..." The maid and the servants knelt down with a "plop" and begged for mercy in unison.

"Tell me clearly who came to the warehouse before this morning. If you miss a detail, I won't take your skin off!"

"I beg the shopkeeper's life..." A boy trembled first and said, "You guys have listened to your orders, and have not let any idlers in these few days, even a mouse entered the warehouse. Let's go, let alone people."

"I still don't believe it. The fire started today for no reason? All the tea leaves were burned!" Shopkeeper Wu grabbed the man by the collar and said sharply, "I think you're tired of work too!"

"No, no, the little one is telling the truth." The boy showed a terrified expression, and shopkeeper Wu gave him a cold look, and threw him to the ground.

"Find out the cause of the fire, only tonight. If you can't find it, don't blame me for twenty boards each!"

"Yes yes yes..." The boy and the maid nodded hurriedly.

"The shopkeeper, the shopkeeper." The shopkeeper Wu was furious when the old butler suddenly came through from the back warehouse.

"Say." Shopkeeper Wu looked up at him.

"Shopkeeper, look at this." The old butler carefully handed the item in his hand to the shopkeeper Wu, it was the fire that had not been cleaned just now.

Shopkeeper Wu grabbed it and squeezed it in his hands. After looking at it for a long time, he said bitterly, "Someone must have slipped in and set fire on purpose!"

"Yes, the shopkeeper." The old housekeeper whispered into the shopkeeper Wu's ear: "This unburned fire is evidence. If our back warehouse really accidentally caught fire, how could there be fire?"

"Where's Xie Chaoyu?" Shopkeeper Wu raised his voice and asked as if he suddenly remembered something when he heard this.

"Thanks, Miss Xie said that there is trouble in the Wu residence today, so she won't bother you..." A maid stepped forward, her trembling body betrayed her nervousness at the moment, she swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said: "So, Miss Xie said She's gone first."

"Trash!" Shopkeeper Wu slapped him across the face, and a red handprint immediately appeared on the maid's face. Huge teardrops rolled down from the maid's eyes. She didn't dare to say anything, but began to sob softly.

"Why don't you look after her!" Shopkeeper Wu was so angry that his face changed color now, and he said with a straight neck: "A bunch of trash!"

"Shopkeeper, please don't be angry, maybe it's not the Xie family's doing." The old housekeeper persuaded.

"Check it out for me." Shopkeeper Wu flicked his sleeves and said angrily, "Go check it out and thank Zhao Yu!"

As soon as Xie Zhaoyu returned to his residence at the Luohe Wharf, he rushed to see the batch of tea leaves.

"Anjiu, where are the tea leaves?" Xie Zhaoyu is not worried, but she can't bet on the reputation of Xie's tea house, there is really no way to make such a bad plan.

"Miss, according to your instructions, all of them have been transported to the cargo ship." Liu Anjiu replied.

"Take me to see." Xie Zhaoyu raised the hem of her skirt with one hand, and walked quickly to the cargo ship at the Luohe pier. She boarded the ship first, and said, "Is everything in the ship's cabin?"

"Yes, miss."

Xie Zhaoyu walked down the wooden plank and went directly to the back warehouse. Sure enough, she smelled a fresh smell of tea leaves as soon as she entered. She raised her eyes and looked around, and found a large amount of tea leaves that were not there before.Xie Zhaoyu stepped forward to open the tea bag, took out a handful of it with his slender and white fingers, put it in his nose and smelled it, and said, "It's the batch of tea leaves we used to move forward."

"Miss, your trick is really good. Not only did you dispose of the steeped tea leaves, but you also brought back our own tea leaves, which is wonderful." Liu Anjiu stepped forward and said with a smile on his lips.

"If you hadn't acted so fast, I wouldn't be able to hold back shopkeeper Wu." Xie Zhaoyu sighed, "I just don't know what I will do tomorrow. The back warehouse of shopkeeper Wu caught fire, although we may not find that the burnt tea has been repacked by us." , but we still have to be careful tomorrow."

"Miss, why don't you tell shopkeeper Wu now that we have found the tea leaves?"

"Are you telling him now that you're not calling yourself?" Xie Zhaoyu knocked Liu Anjiu on the head, "He will definitely come to ask questions in the morning the day after tomorrow, and then we will move out the tea leaves in front of everyone and measure them He didn't dare to do anything."

"Yes, miss."

"Also, after this batch of tea is finished, we will terminate our cooperation with the Wu family. Although we don't know why the person surnamed Wu is targeting us, we will definitely not cooperate with him again."

"You must be jealous of us." Liu Anjiu curled his lips and said: "Miss, don't you see that the Wu family has always been our next family? You have made a prosperous tea business, but they have been bleak. You must think of a way to get it." fix you."

Xie Zhaoyu was startled for a moment, then smiled again, raised his hand and patted Liu Anjiu's shoulder and said, "Today, you hit the point with this sentence."

"Miss, I praised you earlier, didn't I praise you to the point..." Liu Anjiu shrank his shoulders and muttered in a low voice.
