A trace of panic flashed on Huang San's face in an instant, and he immediately returned to normal.

"You talk nonsense! My brother and I are like brothers, how can I harm him?! It's clear that the food sold in your restaurant is poisonous, which kills people! ”

The crowd of onlookers was already in a riot at the moment, and there were all kinds of voices.

Qin Zhihan was about to speak, but a loud shout came from the crowd: "What's going on?!" Get out of the way! Get out of the way! ”

When I turned around, I saw that the person who came was dressed in official clothes, with his hands behind his back, and a pair of eyes looking at everyone with contempt.

Qin Zhihan unconsciously frowned slightly.

As soon as Huang San saw the visitor, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he immediately got up from the ground and smiled at the official: "Official, are you here?" ”

Feeling the contempt in everyone's eyes, Huang San immediately put on a bitter face, and fell at the feet of the person who came, shouting in his mouth: "Ask the official to be the villain!" ”

Huang San's attention to Zhao Tian greatly pleased him, originally he was only the lowest position in the yamen, and he was also the master who bowed his head to people on weekdays, but at this moment he was regarded as a big man, and he was trusted wholeheartedly, and he couldn't help but feel a little fluttering.

So he pretended to be even more dignified, and asked in a pretentious manner: "What grievances do you have that you want me to call the shots for you?" ”

Huang San spat him in his heart, but said aggrievedly: "Ask the official to know it!" This Tianfu Restaurant ate people to death and killed my brother, I came to ask for an explanation, but they refused to admit it! ”

Zhao Tian was shocked, he didn't expect that someone would die, so he had some intention of retreating, and his eyes flickered a little and said, "Poisoned someone?" Are you sure? You can't talk nonsense! ”

Huang San rolled his eyes in his heart, secretly said that he was unlucky, he actually came to a bad egg, and at this moment he had to suppress the anger in his heart, and said forbearingly: "Official, you just give me ten more dares, and I don't dare to lie to you!" ”

Huang San grabbed Zhao Tian's sleeve and cried loudly, and at the moment when everyone was not paying attention, he stuffed a heavy bag into Zhao Tian's hand.

Zhao Tian was shocked, glanced at Huang San quickly, and instantly calmed down.

Clearing his throat, Zhao Tian straightened his face and said loudly: "Where is the shopkeeper of Tianfu Restaurant?" ”

Qin Zhihan looked at Zhao Tian coldly, and said sarcastically: "This poor master, don't you have bad eyes?" Am I not standing right in front of me? ”

Zhao Tian was choked by him, his face was a little angry, and he sneered: "Since you are here, then come with me!" ”

Qin Zhihan also became angry: "Poor master, is it too arbitrary to convict me without asking?!" ”

At the time of the confrontation, Xia Mei, who was in the kitchen of the restaurant, heard the movement outside and came out to check, but she didn't expect it to be such a scene.

Pushing aside the crowd and seeing the corpse covered with a white cloth on the ground, Xia Mei "chuckled" in her heart, and immediately understood what was going on.

Xia Mei stepped forward with a smile and said respectfully: "This poor master, the little woman is the cook of this restaurant, every dish is sent by me, the little woman dares to guarantee with her life, every trace of mushrooms sold in the restaurant is not poisonous, let alone poisoning people's lives!" ”

Liu Quan and Wen Xi Wen Hao also came out at this moment, standing behind Xia Mei, proving that the things in the restaurant were absolutely not poisonous.

Seeing this, Huang San became more and more presumptuous, and said viciously sarcastically: "You are a gang, of course you have to defend him!" What is fair to bully more and less! ”

Zhao Tian was annoyed by the fierce quarrel and yelled, "Okay! Tianfu Restaurant was involved in a murder case, and all the cadres were escorted to the Yamen for trial! ”

Qin Zhihan immediately stood up and stopped: "Poor master, this matter is my business alone, what does it matter to these guys?" I'm going with you, and I have nothing to do with them. ”

Zhao Tian didn't dare to take everyone away because of his weak heart, Qin Zhihan's cooperation made him breathe a sigh of relief, so he also compromised: "Then you can go with me!" ”

Xia Mei and the others were quite anxious and wanted to step forward to stop them, Qin Zhihan saw the worry and guilt in Xia Mei's eyes, his face softened slightly, and he comforted: "It's okay, I believe in you." ”

Xia Mei looked at him in disbelief, but in her heart she understood what Qin Zhihan meant.

He believed that she would not harm him, which is why he was so calm.

Xia Mei watched Qin Zhihan being taken away by Zhao Tian in a daze, and her heart was bitter.

……

Everyone who returned to the restaurant did not say a word, and the atmosphere was sluggish.

Xia Mei sat on the chair for a while, and then said to Liu Quan: "Liu Quan, you go up to inquire about the situation, Wen Hao is going to close the door, don't do business today, clean up the table." Wenxi, you go and put the things in order in the kitchen and see how many mushrooms there are. ”

Everyone saw Xia Mei's face firm, "We must rescue the shopkeeper and prove our innocence!" ”

The three of them also looked shocked and replied in unison: "Yes!" Mrs. Xia! ”

Then they went to do what Xia Mei ordered, Liu Quan gave Xia Mei twenty taels of silver in his arms, and hurried to the yamen.

Xia Mei was sitting in the lobby at the moment, looking out of the door with empty eyes, unconsciously grabbing the corners of her clothes in her hands, clenching tightly.

……

In an inconspicuous house in the west of the city, Ruan Qiren was pacing in the house anxiously, after all, he couldn't stay at home, and couldn't bear to run over to wait for news.

After a while, the housekeeper came in with a happy face and said, "Master, it's done!" ”

Ruan Qiren rushed over and grabbed the butler's hand, "It's done?" ”

Seeing the butler's affirmative nod, Ruan Qiren breathed a sigh of relief and slowly sat back in his chair.

Since he received Huang San's news, he has been planning today's affairs, and he has been looking for a month before he finds an inconspicuous beggar, and no one knows about his death, so he secretly brought it back, freshened up, poisoned the food and fed him, pretending to be poisoned by mushrooms.

Then let the housekeeper tempt Huang San with a lot of money, let him lead people to make trouble, splash this dirty water on Qin Zhihan's head, and bring down Tianfu Restaurant!

While Ruan Qiren breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he also secretly sighed that he was old, and he couldn't stand this little thing, where was the demeanor of his youth.

If he hadn't been decisive and ruthless back then, where would he have been able to fight the hundred-year-old shop, the boss of Qingshan Town, and the owner of Tianfu Restaurant, Qin Batian? !

After thinking for a moment, Ruan Qiren said to the housekeeper: "Go back to the house and prepare a heavy gift, and follow me to the yamen." ”

The butler immediately understood and responded, "Yes, sir!" ”

Then followed Ruan Qiren and secretly returned to Ruan's mansion.

……

Liu Quan brought back the news, saying that the county order was not in the county office, and the shopkeeper was directly imprisoned, so he made some money and went in to see the shopkeeper.

"The shopkeeper was not troubled, and comforted us not to worry." Liu Quan's eyes were red, and he lowered his head and said.

Hearing this, Xia Mei lowered her eyelids and said for a moment: "You and Wen Hao take a good look at the restaurant tonight, especially the mushrooms in the kitchen, don't let people come in and do anything." Wait for me to come over tomorrow, and then we will go to the yamen together. ”

Liu Quan and Wen Hao glanced at each other and replied, "We will definitely watch it firmly!" ”

Xia Mei took Wen Xi and went home in an ox cart, but fortunately she didn't bring Tang Bao today.

The two of them sat in the car and had nothing to say because they were worried, Wen Xi wanted to comfort Xia Mei, but when she saw that she looked indifferent and her eyes were cold, she had to shut up worriedly.

Wen Xi was bored in his heart, turned his head to look at the side of the road, his face was stunned, and he shouted: "Ah! ”

Xia Mei came back to her senses and looked at her busily: "Wen Xi, what's wrong?" ”

Wen Xi's face turned white miserably, and he said in a trembling voice: "Where is it...... In the grass over there...... There's a dead man......"
