Chapter 248 Father's Kindness and Daughter's Filial Piety
Hearing Huang Tinghui's question, brothers Li Zisong, Li Zirong, Li Dingguo and the second son of the Xiao family were all stunned.
However, if we think carefully about what happened, we find that this situation is not impossible.
The Huwei Escort Bureau has always been cautious. During the process of escorting the escorts, everything they ate and drank was cooked by their own cooks.
This also eliminates the possibility of poisoning by outsiders, but this time the escorts of the Tiger Guard Agency were collectively drugged.
When they woke up, they found that the escort they were protecting was missing.
The cook who cooked for them also disappeared without a trace.
Regardless of whether the cook from the Huwei Escort Agency was involved in this incident or not, it really looked like it was premeditated.
If it was a premeditated act, would they know that the thing transported by the Tiger Guard Escort was the Jade Buddha that was to be used to celebrate the birthday of the current Empress Dowager?
If they knew that this thing was a jade Buddha used to celebrate birthdays, how could they have the courage to rob this dart?
If this is the real situation, then the doorway here is huge.
"It's just my guesses, it doesn't count!" Huang Tinghui said to everyone with a smile, "But if that's true, then maybe it's a good thing!"
"A good thing?" Li Zisong felt a little strange when he heard what Huang Tinghui said, so he quickly looked at Huang Tinghui and asked.
"Of course it's a good thing!"
"The Jade Buddha is lost. They know the importance of the Jade Buddha, so they won't change hands at this juncture!"
"They should hide the Emerald Buddha somewhere. As long as we can find the group of robbers, we may be able to get the hiding place of the Emerald Buddha from them."
Huang Tinghui comforted several people, but what he said was not unreasonable.
If those robbers really knew how important the Jade Buddha was, they would definitely not expose their whereabouts in the short term.
If something went wrong in the process of changing hands of the Jade Buddha, and they were caught.
That is not a simple crime of "theft".
Those robbers should not be so stupid.
"Brother Zisong has always said that Mr. Huang's strategy and wisdom are unparalleled in the world!"
"Xiao and Mr. Huang just have contact, and you can feel the difference in Mr. Huang!"
"Master Huang, if the Xiao family can escape this disaster, if you need anything, just talk to my Xiao family!"
The second son of the Xiao family promised Huang Tinghui.
Hearing what Xiao Yuchen said, Huang Tinghui didn't have much reaction.
Instead, it was Li Zisong who became energetic.
"Yu Chen, I think that although your jade can make you acquainted with high-ranking officials, like this incident with the Jade Buddha, if you are not careful, you will be in trouble!"
"My senior brother has recently brewed some wine. Why don't your family use some financial resources to help my senior brother sell the newly brewed wine?"
Li Zisong only heard that Huang Tinghui brewed some wine, but he had not yet tasted the wine that Huang Tinghui constantly improved.
What he said to Xiao Yuchen now was that he hoped Xiao Yuchen could help Huang Tinghui expand his business.
But one time later, Li Zisong held the wine jar and drank until he was extremely drunk.
Only then did he realize how beautiful the wine Huang Tinghui brewed was, and at that time he became Huang Tinghui's wine transporter.
A large amount of fine wine passed through Li Zisong's hands and was resold to barbarians like the Mengwu and Tuzhen.
Not to mention the barbarians like the Mengwu and Tuzhen, they were very fond of the wine brewed by Huang Tinghui.
"This is natural!"
When the second son of the Xiao family heard what Li Zisong said, he agreed without hesitation.
The two of them helped Huang Tinghui finalize some things, which made Huang Tinghui, who stood beside the two of them without saying a word, dumbfounded.
Although he was interrupted by Li Zisong, Huang Tinghui still sorted out some thoughts.
He looked at Li Zisong and said, "Zisong, did you send someone to the cook's house to find out about the cook?"
Hearing Huang Tinghui's question, Li Dingguo, who had been standing aside, spoke.
"A few days ago, the Tiger Guard Agency sent three escorts to the cook's hometown!"
"But the three escorts haven't come back yet, so we don't know the specific situation yet."
Hearing what Li Dingguo said, Huang Tinghui nodded, "If those three escorts come back, I also have something to ask them!"
"The cook is the most critical factor in the loss of the Jade Buddha!"
"If we can find the cook, everything will be easily solved."
"Even if you can't find it, knowing why the cook drugged his friends will be helpful in finding the Jade Buddha." Huang Tinghui nodded and said to everyone.
The current situation is like this, and he can't make any more arrangements.
While several people were talking, a servant of the Xiao family trotted over from not far away.
"Master, gentlemen!"
"The master of the house asked the villain to come to you, saying it's noon!"
"The cooks have also prepared meals and invited all the young masters and gentlemen to come and have a meal."
After hearing what the servant said, the second son of the Xiao family gestured to everyone, "Everyone, after talking for so long, you must be hungry!"
"The new cook my father hired is very good at cooking authentic Shandong cuisine."
“This dish is hard to find in our Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas!”
"You're welcome, please!"
Facing the warm invitation from the second son of the Xiao family, Huang Tinghui and others were no longer polite.
They followed the steps of the second young master of the Xiao family and walked quickly toward the lobby.
Before entering the lobby, you can smell the aroma of vegetables coming over you.
It only made Huang Tinghui feel a little hungry again.
Walking into the lobby, Wu Feilian and Lu Qiaosi were sitting there.
The little girl looked at the dishes on the table curiously. Based on Huang Tinghui's understanding of the little girl, she must have wanted to steal the chef's cooking skills.
After all, the little girl's diligence and studiousness are far superior to Huang Tinghui's.
As for Lu Qiaosi, she was sitting on a chair, her little white feet shaking and moving.
The little girl was eating a snack in her mouth, and her two white little hands were holding a snack in one hand.
Even the mouth was stained with a lot of food residue.
The little girl was so engrossed in the snacks in her hands that she was completely unaware of the arrival of Huang Tinghui and others.
This little girl probably regards this place as her home.
Seeing this scene, Huang Tinghui patted his forehead and felt like he couldn't laugh or cry for a moment.
The little girl finished eating the snacks in her hands and saw Huang Tinghui walking towards this side.
I saw her jumping down from the chair and trotting towards Huang Tinghui with her short legs.
"Daddy, daddy!"
"Eat...eat...snacks!" After the words fell, the little girl stuffed the snacks in her hand into Huang Tinghui's mouth.
Caught off guard, Huang Tinghui was choked severely.
After he recovered, Huang Tinghui smiled and pinched Lu Qiaosi's little face.
It’s really a scene of “a loving father and a filial daughter”!
