Chapter 255 Killing the chicken to scare the monkey

Erlangzi's eyes widened. How could this happen? How did Li Xiaoxiao find him? He unconsciously took a few steps back and opened his mouth to explain something, but he didn't know how.

"Come with me, idiot." Li Xiaoxiao looked at him expressionlessly, turned and left.

Si looked at his nose, and his nose at his heart, holding the cloth bag in his hand, moving it up and down. The fool wanted to run away, but the man in front of him was obviously a martial artist, so where could he run to?

After a while, he stood up with trepidation in his heart, followed Li Xiaoxiao very slowly, and entered a room, which was Li Xiaoxiao's office.

"Tell me, who instructed you to do this?" Li Xiaoxiao asked in a cold voice as soon as he entered the door.

"No one ordered me to do this." Si Yi slammed the door behind him, scaring Erlangzi so much that his heart trembled, his legs went weak, and he knelt on the ground.

"I think I've treated you well. I also know what's in your bag. You can choose to tell me or not, but you have to think it through. I never claim to be a good person, and I don't have a soft heart."

Li Xiaoxiao gently picked up the tea on the table, blew off the foam on it, took a sip, and looked at the fool who had been kneeling on the ground since he entered the door. Her tone was light, but it made people feel inexplicably convincing, and they had no doubt about the truthfulness of her words.

"I, I..." Erlangzi didn't know what to do for a moment, his eyes wandering and hesitant.

"Actually, I can guess it even if you don't say it." Li Xiaoxiao saw his expression and knew that the man must be threatening him, so he didn't dare to say it.

"The man who ordered you around, does he also run a restaurant?" Li Xiaoxiao observed his expression carefully. Sure enough, Erlangzi's pupils shrank and quickly returned to normal. However, Li Xiaoxiao saw all the tiny movements and continued to speak calmly.

"And his restaurant is also on this street. Before I opened my restaurant, his business was the best on this street." Just now Li Xiaoxiao was basically sure who did it, and now seeing Erlangzi's surprised expression, she was even more certain.

"Boss, how did you know?" Erlangzi looked surprised, but he didn't say anything. How did Li Xiaoxiao know?

"You don't need to care how I know this. You colluded with others to frame my restaurant, which is disloyalty. After I found out, you still protected the mastermind, which is also unjust. My restaurant absolutely cannot allow such a disloyal and unjust person like you to stay." Li Xiaoxiao snorted coldly and placed the teacup in his hand heavily on the table.

"Boss, I know I was wrong. I was confused for a moment. Please forgive me this time. I will never dare to do it again. I kowtow to you." Erlangzi looked at Li Xiaoxiao's expression and knew that she was not joking.

His family lives in poverty, and he was able to find such a job. His mother brags about it to everyone she meets. If she knew he was fired, I wonder how she would scold him when she gets home.

"I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it. I always believe in not employing people you doubt, and not doubting people you employ. I don't care what conditions he offers you. You really want to ruin the reputation of my restaurant, and for that reason, I won't let you off easily."

"Fortunately, I discovered it in advance. If I hadn't discovered it, the whole hall would be in chaos now." Li Xiaoxiao said in a cold voice. Today's incident must be severely punished, and at the same time, it must be used as a warning to those who have ulterior motives. If they want to punish me, they must bear the consequences of being discovered.

"It was the boss of Yuelai Restaurant. He gave me ten taels of silver and threatened to hire someone to break one of my legs if I refused. I dared not disobey him, so I did something wrong. I begged the boss to give me a chance to make amends." Erlangzi was so scared that he burst into tears and snot when he heard this, and he told the story in a halting manner.

"Don't act as if you are innocent. You just wanted to covet the ten taels of silver. On the contrary, if you were really forced, why didn't you come to me and explain the matter to me right away? Instead, you still had a fluke mentality when I asked you the first time." Every word Li Xiaoxiao said made sense.

Erlangzi broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this. He really thought so. For a man who earned a few hundred coins a month, ten taels of silver were undoubtedly a huge temptation. He hesitated at first.

But then he thought again, it was just releasing a few mice, not doing anything harmful, and there was so much money to be made, why not do it? Besides, even if he didn't do it, others would.

But he never expected to be discovered so quickly. He didn't know when he revealed his true identity and attracted Li Xiaoxiao's attention.

"I beg the boss to give me a chance to make amends. I will work hard in the future and never let you down again." Erlangzi knows that the situation is a foregone conclusion, but he still hopes that Li Xiaoxiao can show leniency.

"Si Yi, take this bracelet of mine and report to the police. Say that this fool stole my bracelet and I caught him red-handed." Li Xiaoxiao seemed not to hear what he said. She took off a emerald green bracelet from her wrist and handed it to Si Yi.

Si Yi is a steady person, and the bracelet will come back safe and sound if given to him. If it is Si Er, we will have to change to another one.

The business of the store is booming now, and I don't know how many eyes are watching us. If this matter is publicized and someone with good intentions spreads rumors, it will have some impact. It will be different if we say that the fool stole something. A small theft will not bring any impact to the restaurant, and the fool can also be punished.

After the store finished its business that evening, Li Xiaoxiao asked everyone to stay. It was already very late at this time, and after closing the door, there were a dozen people in total, whispering to each other.

"What do you want to do with us, boss?"

"I don't know. Could it be related to the idiot stealing things?"

"My boss looked unhappy today."

"The wages our boss pays us are the highest on this street. I don't know what this fool is thinking to do such a thing."

"I don't think I'm a good person. Not only do we get paid, but we also have good food. I'm not going anywhere anyway. I'll just work hard here."

"Me too. An extra two hundred wen a month means an extra two taels of silver a year. You can't find it even with a lantern."

Li Xiaoxiao was in the corridor behind them, listening to their words and understood. It seemed that they were very satisfied with the restaurant. However, as long as there were many people, there would always be one or two who were not satisfied.

A timely warning will only make them more careful in the future and think more about the consequences when faced with the temptation of huge profits.

Amid their whispers, Li Xiaoxiao walked over to the table, where for some reason there was a small bow and three arrows.
