Chapter 245 Official messengers are coming
When the guests saw this ferocious official, they dared not eat. They rushed to the door of the store one by one.
Gu Fei's heart was bleeding with pain, these people haven't even settled their bills yet!
In this run, at least one or twenty taels of silver were lost.
However, these people did not leave even after they left the house. They gathered at the door to watch the fun.
Gu Fei looked at the several government officials and knew in her heart that these people must have been ordered by Butler Wu. The idea of harboring criminals was just an excuse. In short, they wanted to drive her away.
I told her to give her half a day, but she really couldn't wait for a moment.
Several government officials drove the people away and began to overturn the tables and chairs. The plates and bowls on the tables clattered to pieces on the floor.
The tables and chairs in the lobby were all overturned, and the government servants walked upstairs with their waist knives in hand.
Gu Fei was furious when she saw it, and wanted to step forward to stop her. As soon as she took a step forward, Lian'er and Aunt Liu grabbed her on the left and right.
Aunt Liu whispered: "Girl, these are official servants, no matter what, you can't do anything with them."
Gu Fei didn't know this truth, but how could he bear it when he saw that his hard work was about to be destroyed by them.
In the blink of an eye, these officials went upstairs. They could only hear the chaotic footsteps upstairs and the sound of furniture overturning. After a while, many guests were kicked out.
Everyone was in shock, not knowing what had happened.
A customer came down from upstairs with disheveled hair. He found Gu Fei and yelled, "Shopkeeper, what's going on in your store? You can't let anyone stay here anymore. Damn it, I was sleeping soundly. The official kicked the door open." , and dragged me out of bed."
“It is said that they are searching for criminals. Is there such a search?”
Gu Fei's heart was full of bitterness, and she felt blessed by this man, "I'm sorry, sir. I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in my hotel. I'll refund the money you paid for your stay when the official leaves soon."
The man shook his head, his hair flying freely, "Damn it, if I had known, I wouldn't have stayed in your store."
Just as he was talking, Mr. Zhou and Sister Dan from next door came over after getting the letter.
Mr. Zhou pulled Gu Fei aside and said with a heavy expression, "What's wrong? I heard that the government officials came to search. Is it someone from Prince Qi's palace who did it?"
Gu Fei smiled bitterly, "Yes, I went to see him this morning, and he asked me to close the store and leave. Before I could decide whether to close the store, I didn't know he couldn't wait to drive me away."
Old man Huang was also driven out of the backyard at this time. He looked at the tables and chairs in the store and the plates and bowls were shattered on the floor. He frowned fiercely.
He looked at Gu Fei and wanted to say something. He opened his mouth a few times and then closed it again.
There was a lot of commotion upstairs, and several government officials came downstairs. The leader of the government officials pointed at Gu Fei, "We didn't find the criminal. Now I suspect that you have hidden the prisoner somewhere else. Come with us to the government office." "
Mr. Zhou was secretly anxious when he saw this. He entered the yamen and had to shed his skin even if he died. He quickly put a piece of silver into his sleeve and stepped forward with a smile, "Brother Chai, look, am I misunderstood? This Shopkeeper Gu is just a little girl, how can she be harboring criminals? "
The chief of the government officials glanced at Mr. Zhou sideways, stretched out his hand to push him, "Get out of here - don't disturb me from handling the case."
Mr. Zhou staggered and almost fell down. Sister Dan quickly stepped forward to support him.
Gu Fei looked at Mr. Zhou with an apologetic face, "Thank you, Brother Zhou. You don't have to tell them. I think my store won't be able to open anymore."
“I'll just go with them.”
