Chapter 53: Between Life and Death
Luo Zhengyi, as usual, came to Baiwei Restaurant after the noon break and entered through the back door. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
No way, there was always someone waiting for him at the front door, but when he left, he would occasionally walk through the front door, and get into the carriage and go home without waiting to be entangled.
Today he finished his drink, was in a good mood, and was ready to leave through the front door. You can't really drink it for nothing, and you have to add a little fame to Baiwei Restaurant.
It was for this reason that Yue Xinran asked him to drink for free.
Luo Zhengyi walked out of the door, and before he went downstairs, he saw a back, half-tilted in the direction of the hall, looking down at something.
He pretended not to see it, thinking that he might as well leave the backyard.
Zhao Yunfeng turned around with a smile, and when he saw Luo Zhengyi's quiet appearance, his smile became even brighter, "Mr. Luo, come to dinner." ”
Luo Zhengyi didn't look at him, opened his long sleeves, and walked downstairs.
Zhao Yunfeng shouted: "Come back tomorrow." ”
One after another, every time I go to drink, I can meet Zhao Yunfeng.
But it doesn't seem to work if you don't come.
Finally, I couldn't help but ask Jiazi to ask the guy why Zhao Yunfeng appeared every day, but the result was very unexpected.
In the room, Jiazi was holding a half-empty wine jug, "Sir, the prince said that he is the chief steward of this shop, and he will be there every day." ”
"What?" Luo Zhengyi's wine glass shook, and he almost spilled wine, "He should be in charge?" This restaurant's? ”
Jiazi knew that the gentleman had heard, but did not answer.
"Isn't this nonsense! The dignified prince actually works in a restaurant in a small border town! Is there anyone else who can take care of him? Luo Zhengyi put down his wine glass and lost interest.
Jiazi poured him a full wine, "Sir, let's agree to the previous condition, he will give us a lifetime of wine money, he will definitely regret it in the future, and he will be angry." Jiazi still remembered this matter. Especially after Mr. returned to Beijing, there was no Baiwei Restaurant.
He knew that he couldn't stay here forever.
Luo Zhengyi glared, "Just don't see him, see what he can do to me." ”
It sounded too childlike, and Jiazi rolled her eyes and nodded in obedience.
……
Yue Xinran looked at the two porcelain bottles in his father's hands, and couldn't tell what he felt in his heart.
In three days, Chen Yuan delivered the antidote to his father, how did he get it?
Two porcelain bottles, one was the white bottle that had previously contained the poison, which Chen Yuan did not take from his father, and the other was a small dark brown porcelain bottle that contained the antidote.
"Father, is this antidote sure to work?"
She had many doubts in her heart, but she didn't ask. The simplest one, Chen Yuan didn't take the poison, but sent the antidote, where did he get it? Only the anti-poison person knows the antidote best, could it be that Chen Yuan and the anti-drug person are together......
However, according to Surchi's words, it is not difficult to speculate that the poisoned man was injured by someone sent by the imperial court.
Father and Chen Yuan are not for personal gain, but for the court? Or someone with a position in the imperial court...... At least you can get access to the poisoner.
No matter what the answer is, there must be someone else behind Chen Yuan, and it is impossible for him to do this with his own ability. The people sent by the imperial court to deal with the Hel must be masters of secrecy.
Besides, colluding with the Hulls, even if it is just to make money in business, is a crime of treason. For such a big matter, it was impossible for Chen Yuan to come up with his own advice.
"There should be no problem. I'll arrange a meeting. "Yue Qi trusts this antidote very much.
She tried to ask, "Where did this antidote come from?" ”
Yue Qi looked at her and said to her so seriously for the first time: "Daughter, there are some things that you can guess in your heart, never ask, and I won't answer." ”
"Father, you don't know much, do you?" Yue Xinran looked into his eyes.
Yue Qi shook his head and didn't say anything more.
Meet Sulch again, not where it was last time.
Sulch also changed his outfit, a crude linen robe, and a basket full of prey on his back.
The moment she saw Su Erqi, something flashed in Yue Xinran's head, and when she saw her father about to take out the porcelain vase, she suddenly understood something, and suddenly stood in front of her father.
Without waiting for Yue Qi to ask, she said, "Su Erqi, we haven't got the antidote!" ”
Yue Qi's face behind him changed slightly, but he didn't immediately dismantle his daughter.
Su Erqi couldn't see Yue Qi's face at all, took out the axe behind his back, and sneered: "If you can't get an antidote, you are the lackeys of the imperial court, and you want my friend to die." ”
Yue Xinran's expression remained unchanged and said, "How can we get the antidote that you can't get?" ”
"But before you came, your people clearly said that they had prepared something!" Sulch's eyes narrowed, like a cheetah in the forest, ready to burst out and hurt people at any moment.
She gestured to her father with the hand behind her back to calm him down, and said to Sulqi: "We are only merchants, and our dealings with the imperial court are limited to bribing relatives and colluding with each other. Just for the convenience of business, how can you have a good relationship with the officials of the imperial court, how can you get an antidote? If we really want an antidote, I'm afraid that they will immediately turn their faces and deny people, and lock us up and torture us. When the time comes, you may be captured alive, brother. We are here today, and it is your good fortune that there are no people from the court who are ambushed here. Still thinking about detoxifying your friends? It's good not to get in again. ”
Sulqi kept looking at her with cold eyes, and his tone was intimidating, "Let me ask again, you don't have an antidote?" ”
"The message was sent to the past, saying that something had been found, but I just hoped that Brother Sulch would give us one more chance. The antidote, we're sorry, really doesn't. Yue Xinran bent down to the end.
She heard movement behind her, bowed, and immediately came to her father's side and pressed his hands.
Yue Qi was full of doubts, and at this moment, sweat was dripping from his face, and he looked at his daughter, and suddenly felt a little hesitant.
Sulch snorted, tossed the axe aside, and sat down with a grin.
"I hope you didn't lie to me." As Su Erqi spoke, he didn't care about Yue Qi, but looked at Yue Xinran, "You have more courage than your Lao Tzu, you dare to invite me to come without an antidote, and even say this to your face." ”
Yue Xinran breathed a sigh of relief, her underwear was already soaked.
She guessed right.
They use the identity of businessmen to contact each other, and if they really come up with an antidote, it will be hell! It must not have been a coincidence that Sulch was dressed today, and she glanced at the axe that Sulch had thrown on the ground, and the bow and arrow not far away. If she really came up with the antidote, maybe she and her father would die here immediately.
Who has the antidote? There are people who poison them, and there are people in the imperial court.
Once the antidote is come up, not only can they not prove their innocence, but they are telling them that they are members of the court.
The moment she saw Surki, she suddenly remembered the thought she had when she first saw the antidote.
She thought at that time that Chen Yuan and her father were serving the imperial court. She could have thought of it, and the Hull people would have thought of it.
So she immediately made her choice.
Sulch laid down the axe, and this is the best proof of this.
"Sulch, do you want to do business with us now?" Yue Xinran asked in a low voice with guilt on his face.
