Chapter 1172: Returning to Hometown
Before Shu Yu could say anything, the waiter interrupted her, leaving her somewhat speechless.
This guy was still as talkative as ever, never stopping his incessant chatter.
However, in the next moment, she noticed the clothes the waiter was wearing and was taken aback.
The waiter also became aware of her gaze and looked down at his clothes. He couldn't help but straighten his back slightly and smiled at Shu Yu.
Shu Yu raised an eyebrow, "Are you... the shopkeeper now?"
The waiter quickly waved his hand, "No, no, it's just temporary, temporarily filling in the position."
"Then, where is the previous shopkeeper?"
The waiter shrugged, "I don't know where Shopkeeper Fang went. He wasn't originally from Tianning County. He said he had some matters in his hometown, so he went back and hasn't returned yet. Our boss asked me to temporarily take over in the meantime."
Shu Yu and Meng Yun Zheng exchanged a glance, and the latter asked, "How long has Shopkeeper Fang been gone?"
"For over a month." This wasn't a secret, so the waiter didn't have anything to hide.
Over a month?
Wasn't that right around the time when Gong Qiu was beheaded? So Shopkeeper Fang received news to go back and rescue his master but fell into the hands of Fifth Prince and his cronies?
It seemed clear that Shopkeeper Fang wouldn't be coming back. The current waiter, who was temporarily filling in, might just become the official shopkeeper.
"Miss, is there something you need to do in Tianning County this time?" The waiter smiled at them with excitement. Last time, this young lady rewarded him with silver coins for assistance. Perhaps she would do the same this time.
So, he was particularly enthusiastic, "No matter what you need to do, after such a long journey, you must be hungry. Please come inside, and feel free to order whatever you want. Since you are a returning guest to our restaurant, I'll offer you some discounts."
Shu Yu quickly interrupted him, "Shopkeeper, can I ask you something?"
As soon as the waiter heard the word "shopkeeper," his smile became even brighter.
"Sure, ask away."
"Where did the beggar who was at the entrance of Quansheng Escort Agency go?"
The waiter paused for a moment, "You mean him? He should be inside the agency. Come to think of it, he hasn't come out for two days. I don't know what happened to him."
There was a sense of charity between them, and the waiter occasionally gave some food to the old beggar. These past two days, the restaurant had been busy, so he didn't pay much attention to the old beggar.
Now that someone asked about him, he suddenly realized that the old beggar hadn't appeared for two days.
With that in mind, the waiter turned to instruct the other waiters in the restaurant, "Work diligently, I'm going to the opposite side to check."
As he finished speaking and was about to tell Shu Yu to rest at the restaurant, he heard that the old beggar hadn't appeared for two days. Without another word, they all headed towards the entrance of the escort agency.
Meng Yunzheng was the first to push the door, but it didn't open. Apparently, it was already bolted from inside.
They could go in from the part of the building that was burnt and collapsed, but that would take too much time.
So, without hesitation, Meng Yunzheng climbed over the wall from the outside.
The waiter arrived beside Shu Yu and witnessed the scene. He widened his eyes and said, "He, he, he just went in directly like that? Hey, Miss, this won't do. Although Quansheng Escort Agency is in ruins, that old beggar is quite skilled. If you break in without permission, he might attack you. Maybe we should... try knocking on the door first."
Before he could finish speaking, Meng Yunzheng, who had already climbed over the wall, had opened the door.
