Chapter Seventy-Five: The Murder of the Restaurant

[Ran^Text^Library] Xi Liangxun and Qiu Ye were both surprised, they were all half shocked by the idea of Qiu Shuiman, after all, only Qiu Shuiman dared to say such big things about all the restaurants in the capital.

This is the charm of Qiu Shuiman, until this moment, Xi Liangxun and Qiu Yeji really have a touch of admiration for Xiao Jue, just because of Xiao Jue's reaction.

Qiu Shuiman's heart was warm, in fact, she noticed the surprise and confusion of Xi Liangxun and Qiu Yeji, but Xiao Jue and Nie Rongze were different.

"I don't want the world's restaurants, I just want the capital. I'm going to make all the restaurants Mochizuki Lou so that my recipes can be liked by everyone, and that's it. Qiushui smiled at him, but her ambitious goal was not so easy to accomplish.

Xiao Jue looked at her excited appearance, and her heart seemed to melt, and the tender love in her eyes was completely regarded as if no one was there. "Okay, let's do it together." His hand under the table held her tightly, not wanting to let go.

Qiu Shuiman's eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles, except for Nie Rongze who watched the two show their affection relatively calmly, Xi Liangxun and Qiu Yeji each smiled bitterly, because they knew in their hearts that they had lost to Xiao Jue.

Some people in the room were happy and some were sad, and at this time, a noisy sound suddenly came from downstairs.

Everyone was surprised what had happened, and they saw Liu Fu hurriedly pushing the door in, his face full of panic, and he stammered when he spoke. "No... It's not good, the owner is dead, dead. ”

Qiu Shuiman was startled and stood up from his seat. Xiao Jue also got up and asked in a deep voice, "What happened?" ”

Liu Fu's body trembled slightly, wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead and replied; "There were three guests downstairs, ordered sweet and sour carp, stir-fried chicken and mapo tofu, but one person ate a bite of the mapo tofu and vomited blood to death, they said that the things in our store were poisonous, and they had reported to the official."

Xiao Jue's eyebrows twisted slightly, and he lowered his eyes to look at Qiushui Man and said, "Let's go down and have a look." As he spoke, he went downstairs with Qiu Shuiman.

Nie Rongze, Xi Liangxun and Qiu Yeji also followed, and came to the hall downstairs, the hall was in a mess, the tables, chairs, rice bowls were shattered, and there were many dishes all over the ground.

There was a man lying on the ground, with black and purple blood on the corners of his lips, and a man crying out in pain next to the corpse.

There were a lot of people gathered in the hall, most of them were guests who had come to Mochizuki Tower for dinner, and they were discussing something in front of the door, as if they had palpitations.

Seeing Qiu Shui Man and Xiao Zhu coming down, Qing Fall and Chang Feng came out of the crowd and walked over. Chang Feng and Qingluo were also here when the incident happened, and when they came to find it, they saw that Xiao Jue and they were all in the Tianzi room, so they didn't rush in to disturb, but waited downstairs.

"You've been there all the time, can you see what's going on?" Xiao Jue asked them.

Chang Feng replied with a slight bow: "The subordinates sat at the table opposite them, and three people came in and ordered a few dishes of wine and food, among which this person just tasted a mouthful and had a stomachache and vomited blood and died after a while, and the other person reported to the official." ”

Before Chang Feng could finish speaking, the man who was crying stood up, pointed at the shopkeeper Liu Fu and scolded bitterly: "You have disregarded people's lives and killed my third brother, you just wait to go to prison." ”

Qiu Shui looked at the mess all over the ground, her brows furrowed, she looked up and asked Liu Fu: "Who smashed it in this hall?" ”

Liu Fu pointed at the man who was abusing him and said, "It's him, he smashed our store when he saw that his brother was dead." ”

"It's disgusting." Qiushui scolded in a low voice, his heart full of doubts. How could a person die in her Mochizuki Tower? also insisted that it was the responsibility of Mochizuki Tower, and it seems that there must be something strange about this matter.

Xiao Jue's eyes sank suddenly, and he gave Chang Feng a look. Chang Feng understood, grabbed the man, and pushed him to Xiao Jue's side. "The reason for your third brother's death has not yet been ascertained, and you keep saying that it is because of Mochizuki Tower, but you destroy the evidence, but you are a thief and deliberately steal stolen goods?"

The man looked up and met Xiao Jue's cold eyes, and he shrank his neck in fright. "You... Who are you? My third brother died in the Moon Tower, which everyone saw, and I was only angry when I accidentally lifted the table. The man quibbled.

"Whether it's or not, you can find out at a glance. Chang Feng, optimistic about him. Xiao Jue ordered in a cold voice.

Nie Rongze, who was behind him, walked out and first examined the corpse. "It's a broken intestine grass, and a drop of this poison can be fatal."

Nie Rongze got up and took out Juan Pa to wipe his hands, and then looked around on the ground. Xiao Jue knew what Nie Rongze was looking for, but now that the physical evidence had been shattered, it was difficult to identify.

"Do you see what this man ate and died?" Xiao Jue looked around at the people who were watching the excitement, but everyone shook their heads and didn't know.

But the person who was caught by Chang Feng said: "My third brother usually likes tofu, and he was poisoned after eating that mapo tofu." ”

Xiao Jue asked again, "Has he eaten anything other than this tofu?" ”

The man shook his head, very determined.

Nie Rongze and Xiao Jue lowered their heads, but saw a small amount of tofu left next to the broken rice bowl. Nie Rongze raised his eyes, looked at Qiushui and said, "Borrow the silver hairpin on your head." ”

Qiu Shuiman plucked the silver hairpin on his head and handed it to him, Nie Rongze took it and tried it, but the silver hairpin did not change color. Nie Rongze found a few more pieces of tofu and tried it, and it was also not poisonous.

"It seems that there is no poison in this tofu." Nie Rongze frowned slightly, since it wasn't that this mapo tofu was not poisonous, what could it be?

While thinking about it, the man who reported to the official rushed here with the people from the government. This place is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Officials, and it involves a murder case, so it is Dong Liancheng, a waiter from the Ministry of Rites, who came to investigate.

"The officials and the government handle the case, and the idle people leave as soon as possible." Dong Liancheng scolded the people who were watching the excitement.

The crowd of onlookers dispersed outside the door, Dong Liancheng walked in with his hands in his hand, and the first thing that caught his eye was the corpse lying on the ground. "Who are the deacons here?" Dong Liancheng covered his nose with one hand and looked a little disgusted.

That Liu Fu was so frightened that her legs trembled, Qiu Shuiman wanted to bear it herself, but Xiao Jue on the side stopped her and walked out. "This king is." Xiao Jue replied in a deep voice.

Dong Liancheng snorted, raised his head, and saw Xiao Jue's cold and grim face suddenly frightened the whole person, but before he could come back to his senses, a playful voice came from the side: "The people in the Ministry are really getting more and more useless." ”

Dong Liancheng looked at it and was shocked again, almost fainting without being frightened.

"What, is Lord Dong stupid? You are also a five-grade official, don't you know who you are in front of? Autumn Nightmark couldn't stand it and scolded him.

Dong Liancheng was completely awakened by this voice, this... King Yin Xiao Jue, the national teacher Nie Rongze and the son of Qiu Xiang... He knelt down with a thud: "Minister Dong Liancheng pays a visit to the prince, the national teacher." ”

Liu Fu was so frightened when he heard Dong Liancheng's exclamation that he almost fainted, he thought it was the man with broken sleeves who was actually King Yin Xiaojue, who is known as the ghost king today, and he actually stood up and admitted that he was the deacon here? Here's what's going on.

And the man who reported the case was also stupid, and he also knelt on the ground with Dong Liancheng. And the person who was guarded by Chang Feng also knelt down with a weak leg.

"Master Dong is here to investigate the case, so these false courtesies will be waived." Xiao Jue stood with his hands in his hands, and Dong Liancheng stood up tremblingly.

"The shopkeeper told Master Dong what had happened." Xiao Jue turned his head sideways and said to the shopkeeper Liu Fu.

Liu Fu hurriedly responded and told the story word for word. "The three of them came to our restaurant for dinner, and the little one let the guy serve a pot of tea. The little one saw that the eldest brother poured a cup of tea for each of their brothers. Then, in a few moments, the dishes they ordered were ready. The deceased drank a cup of tea and ate a chopstick, and mapo tofu died mysteriously. ”

Because Liu Fu was standing in front of the cabinet and looking at the account book, he occasionally looked up and saw the three brothers sitting opposite, so it would be so clear.

Chang Feng also replied: "The subordinates and Qingshen are sitting opposite, and the subordinates can see clearly." After the three of them came in, the second child served a pot of tea, and the eldest brother personally poured a cup of tea for the third brother. After serving the food, the third brother seemed to be very hungry, so he picked up the chopsticks and ate a bite. Then he had abdominal pain and vomited blood from his mouth and died. ”

Xiao Jue and Nie Rongze each glanced at each other, and Xi Liangxun, who was standing beside Qiu Yeji, squinted his eyes slightly, and swept the broken tea cup on the ground with a folding fan in one hand.

"I've just checked that there is no poison in this tofu, so it's tea." Xiliangxun closed the folding fan very firmly.

Qiushui suddenly seemed to have grasped a trace of spiritual light. The eldest brother who was the head was busy saying: "All three of our brothers have drunk this tea, why are we okay?" ”

Xiao Jue smiled deeply, but there was a touch of anger in his eyes. "Then I'll have to ask what you've done."

The man's face changed suddenly, Qiu Shui Man could see clearly, and his heart suddenly knew everything. Nie Rongze found a few fragments of water stains from the broken teacup, and after trying the silver hairpin, some were poisonous and some were not.

"Chang Feng, body search." Xiao Jue's eyes narrowed, staring at the kneeling man.

Chang Feng walked over, groped around the man, and sure enough, found a porcelain vase. Chang Feng handed the thing to Xiao Jue, Xiao Jue leaned over and sniffed it, and then transferred it to Nie Rongze.

Nie Rongze took it and nodded: "It's the Broken Intestine Grass, and the murderer is him." ”

"Say, why did you kill your brother and blame Mochizuki Tower? Who instructed it? Xiao Jue's voice was full of cold, and a pair of sharp eyes stared at the two brothers who were kneeling on the ground and trembling.

"Wronged, lord, the little one is really wronged." The big brother refused to confess.

Xiao Jue suddenly smiled suspiciously, and his indifferent voice was like coming from the Hell Ghost Mansion: "Chang Feng, since they don't want to confess, then send them to accompany their third brother." ”

"Yes." Chang Feng responded, and the saber at his waist had been drawn.

The two of them were frightened and trembled, looking at Chang Feng's saber that came out, they all kowtowed and begged for mercy: "I said, I said, don't kill me!" ”

Xiao Jue waved his hand and let Chang Feng retreat. The eldest brother kept trembling and said, "Yes, it was the shopkeeper of Shengyue Restaurant who made us do this." ”

It turned out that the three brothers were not locals, and the three of them depended on each other for their lives, because they were stupid for three days. So the shopkeeper of Shengyue Restaurant took a fancy to them and gave them a sum of money to plant it for Mochizuki Tower.

After figuring out the reason for the matter, everyone was also stunned, especially Qiushuiman and Xiliangxun. "Who is the owner of this Shengyue Restaurant, who dares to hit me repeatedly on the idea of Mochiyue Tower?" Qiu Shuiman said in a deep voice with some anger.

Xi Liangxun also said: "It just so happens that I also have an old account to be counted with the Shengyue Restaurant." Xi Liangxun chuckled, holding the folding fan in his hand and his eyes were gloomy.

"Master Dong, then let's go." Xiao Jue's tone was majestic, he wanted to see who had hit the head of this Moon Tower.
