Seeing Ling Huyi away, Nangong Xue sat on the chair and quietly recalled what Ling Huyi had said, and said secretly in her heart: "If it is really as the teacher said, then is this the reason why they all played jointly with the emperor at that time?" But this is a place to teach and educate people, and if they really do something, then what are they trying to do? Thinking of this, Nangong Xue's mind became more and more confused, "Hey, I don't want to think about it, I still have a headache after thinking too much, I just do my part, after all, the emperor must hope that I will make something if he gives me such a big burden." As for what invisible things will be hidden here, let's talk about it. Let's take one step at a time, no one can predict what tomorrow will bring. ”

In the following period of time, Nangong Xue obeyed Ling Huyi's meaning and went to Beixuan Academy to teach, when those students in Beixuan knew that Nangong Xue came to teach, they all welcomed it, because they were very familiar with Nangong Xue and convinced of her, so Nangong Xue also progressed very smoothly in the next teaching time, in fact, during this time, Nangong Xue's teaching was mainly for the main purpose of stimulating their potential. She doesn't like to memorize hard to learn, she thinks that learning is based on interest, if there is no interest as a foundation, learning nothing will be very smooth, and it will definitely be very passive.

Therefore, in order to arouse the interest of these people, Nangong Xue made Yan Sù's study atmosphere extremely active and very relaxed, and this teaching atmosphere was quickly accepted by the students of Beixuan Academy.

Just when Nangong Xue was wholeheartedly changing the form of teaching, a group of people gathered in front of the yamen of Nancheng Mansion, and they cried while beating drums and shouting grievances: "Please ask the deacon's Qingtian Lord to be our master and redress our grievances!" When the official saw that so many people had come forward to complain, he hurriedly went in and reported: "There are many people outside the deacon, who have come forward to beat the drum and complain for some reason. The deacon of Nancheng Mansion said strictly: "Ascend to the church." After receiving the order, the officials stood in the yahall in an orderly manner, and said in a loud voice: "Wei... Military...! Immediately, Qi Runben, the deacon of the government in Nancheng, sat in front of the public case and picked up the ascending wood and patted it heavily: "Ascend to the hall!" After speaking, the Ya Gongmen shouted again: "Wei... Military...! Qi Runben picked up the ascending wood again and ordered: "Bring the complainant to the hall!" ”

After speaking, the people waiting outside the government gate to complain poured into the hall like a tide. They shouted and held up the paper and said, "Please Lord Deacon to call the shots for us!" We want to sue Jinfuxuan in Nancheng for poisoning us. Please Lord Qingtian must give us justice. ”

"Bring me the paper." Qi Runben instructed the officer. After speaking, the master who was sitting on the side stood up and took the pleadings and presented them to Qi Runben, who looked at the pleadings on the public case while raising his head from time to time to look at the people who were kneeling on the yatang and crying. Qi Runben saw that this paper was suing Jin Fuxuan for poisoning the food, and many people had diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and even death. The number of dead and wounded has reached forty. The more Qi Runben looked at it, the more his brows tightened. After thinking about it, he felt that something was not right, so he picked up the Shengtangmu and patted the public case again, and asked: "This official asked you, since you said that you were poisoned, but why did it take nearly half a month to come to the court to sue them, you had better answer truthfully, if there is a false accusation and the facts do not match, then what kind of serious situation will Nancheng fall into if you make trouble today, do you know what?" When the time comes, I will not spare you. ”

"The eldest lord is wronged." The civilians kneeling in the hall appealed, "How dare we make false accusations? These people who fell ill on this paper are our family members, they all went to Jin Fuxuan for dinner half a month ago, and they didn't feel any discomfort at first, but in the next few days, they began to have diarrhea, vomiting and even abdominal pain, at first they thought it was a cold and discomfort, so they used a few pairs of medicines, but the results were not good, the symptoms became more and more strict, and there were people who died because of this, so we joined forces to sue Jin Fuxuan for poisoning and mutilating us ordinary people in the food. Please make sure that you are the master of our grievances. After saying that, the people in the hall began to weep again.

Qi Runben's brows furrowed tightly when he heard this, and he ordered: "Go and summon the people of Jinfuxuan to come to the hall." When the official got the order, he hurried to summon the hostages. After the official left, Qi Run was thinking carefully: "If the complaint is true, then what is this Jinfuxuan?" Wasn't it quite sought after in the first place? Think about where the official has also been to eat, the one he made is called a delicacy, and I haven't seen the official eat uncomfortably? Why do these people have these symptoms? Isn't there some intent? ”

When the official arrived at Jinfuxuan, he said sternly: "Who is the shopkeeper of Jinfuxuan?" The shopkeeper, who was busy in the lobby, hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Yo, isn't this Master Wu, what are you looking for our shopkeeper?" "The full name of Wu Guanye mentioned by the shopkeeper is Wu Sanning, and he has always been on an errand in the Nancheng Mansion, as for why the shopkeeper is so familiar with him, it is also because Wu Sanning often comes to Jinfuxuan to eat on weekdays, and he is a frequent customer. So the shopkeeper is naturally familiar.

"Humph! Less in my set almost. Wu Sanning glanced at him disdainfully, and asked, "Where are you talking?" If you are there, let him go to the government with me, and tell sù that you don't delay my office hours, if you delay my official business, how many heads can you hold? ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly replied: "Yes, in the back kitchen, I'll call you." You start by sitting and drinking tea. After saying that, the shopkeeper arranged for Wu Sanning to sit aside, and went to the back kitchen, and when he saw Kong Haoyu who was busy stir-frying, the shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Shopkeeper, there is a servant outside to summon you." Let you go to the government office. Looks like something is going on. ”

Kong Haoyu turned his head, looked at the shopkeeper in surprise, and asked, "What's wrong?" Didn't the official tell you why I passed through the court? The shopkeeper shook his head again and again, indicating that he didn't know. Kong Haoyu saw that he couldn't ask anything after continuing to ask the master, so he said, "You go out first and tell the servant, let him wait for a while, and I'll go over." After speaking, the shopkeeper came out of the back kitchen first.

As soon as he came out, he hurriedly replied to Wu Sanning: "Master Wu, please wait a while, our shopkeeper will come out in a while." You drink tea first. I'll get you a new jug of water. After speaking, he picked up the teapot and went to the back kitchen to get hot water.

After a while, Kong Haoyu changed his clothes and walked out of the back kitchen, and said to Wu Sanning respectfully: "This official, I am the shopkeeper of Jinfuxuan." I wonder what you're looking for me for? ”

Wu Sanning raised his head disdainfully and said lightly: "You are the shopkeeper?" Do you know you've done something? ”

Kong Haoyu shook his head in confusion and replied: "Back to the official, I am the shopkeeper, as for the crime you said, I really don't know." Please advise. ”

Wu Sanning replied: "Okay, since you are the shopkeeper, please go to the government with me." Our deacon summoned. As for your restaurant, let's clean up and close the restaurant first. ”

“……。” Kong Haoyu was silent for a while, and then instructed the shopkeeper, "After I leave for a while, don't accept customers, and when the people in the lobby are gone, you will close the store first according to what this official said, and then you can go back first." As for when the store will open again, I'll wait for me to come back. Without further ado, you can do it. After speaking, he turned around and said to Wu Sanning, "Master Guan, let's go." Please. After speaking, Wu Sanning took Kong Haoyu to the mansion.

When he arrived at the mansion, Wu Sanning replied to Qi Runben and said, "Lord Deacon Qiqi, the shopkeeper of Jinfuxuan brought it." ”

Qi Runben frowned and asked sternly after seeing Kong Haoyu in the hall: "You are the shopkeeper of Jinfuxuan?" Name? ”

"Lord Hui is the shopkeeper of Jinfuxuan, managing the affairs of Jinfuxuan, and his name is Kong Haoyu." Kong Haoyu replied by reporting his family's name.

"Kong Haoyu ......." Qi Runben silently read Kong Haoyu's name softly, and felt that this name was quite familiar in his mind, as if he had heard it somewhere, and then asked in a routine manner: "This official is asking you now, do you know all these people kneeling beside you?" ”

After speaking, Kong Haoyu turned his head to look at the kneeling people around him, and replied: "Lord Hui, although I am the shopkeeper of Jinfuxuan, I am busy cooking in the back kitchen all day long, so even if these people have been to the shop, I can't be impressed." I hope that adults will know it. ”

"What do you mean is that you are the shopkeeper of Jinfuxuan, but you are also the chef of Jinfuxuan?" Qi Runben asked rhetorically, "It seems that you are very busy?" Are you a chef in the back of the kitchen or? ”

"Lord Hui," Kong Haoyu replied respectfully, "I am the chef of Jinfuxuan in the back kitchen, and it has been three years since the store opened. It's quite busy every day as a shopkeeper. But it's okay, I'm more relaxed when I am greeted by the second shopkeeper. ”

"It's been three years, hasn't it?" Qi Runben said lightly, "Then do you know that you have recently committed a life lawsuit?" ”

"Death lawsuit?!" Kong Haoyu exclaimed when he heard this.

"How?" Qi Runben looked straight at Kong Haoyu and asked, "These civilians kneeling in the lobby are the witnesses who came to accuse you Jin Fuxuan of poisoning the food and mutilating the diners." Don't you tell the officer that you don't know anything about it? ”

“……。” After speaking, Kong Haoyu turned around slightly, looked around at the people kneeling in the hall of the mansion, and his heart was full of question marks for a while, he had no impression of these people Kong Haoyu at all, of course, this is not to blame him, he is usually busy in the kitchen, and the lobby is basically greeted by the shopkeeper, and he, the shopkeeper, is only after closing every day, he comes to make a statistic on the business of this day as the shopkeeper. So even if there are regular customers in the store who come here to eat, he doesn't know them at all. He looked at these people and couldn't help but think to himself, "What's wrong with these people?" How can you sue us for poisoning Jinfuxuan? Also, where did these people come from? ……。 Many questions filled Kong Haoyu's entire mind at once. So he shook his head lightly and replied, "Lord Hui, I really don't know what's going on. Please make it clear. ”

"Come here, show him this." Qi Runben called a servant and handed over the paper. The official took the paper and handed it to Kong Haoyu according to Qi Runben's instructions, Kong Haoyu looked at the paper carefully with both hands, and suddenly couldn't accept the accusation on the paper, he first handed the paper back to Qi Runben, and then opened his eyes and defended himself righteously: "My lord, I really don't know what I said here, and I haven't seen any diners feel uncomfortable in the past two days, not only in these two days, but even in half a month ago or even a few days ago, There is no one to react that we have poisoned Jin Fu Xuan, Jin Fu Xuan has been the head chef since the opening of the store, all the meals are cooked by my hands, I dare to guarantee with my personality that I have never poisoned any food, and there is no reason to motive to poison it, but I am not saying that these people falsely accuse me of Jin Fu Xuan, I just want to implore the deacon to investigate this matter. We are willing to cooperate fully with your exploration. ”

“……。” Qi Runben observed Kong Haoyu directly, hoping to see some clues from his expression, but what he saw was an expression that was upright and not afraid of shadows. Then he looked at the people who had accused him, and he was a little confused for a moment. But in order to appease these people, Qi Runben thought about it and said, "This case was accepted by the Yamen, and there is no way to continue to judge the matter now, so I will take you Kong Haoyu into custody first, wait for further investigation, and then make a judgment and leave the court." After saying that, Qi Run picked up the Shengtang wood and patted it, and left. Then the officials shouted: "Wei... Military...! After that, some of the officials took Kong Haoyu into a prison cell, and the public officials who complained in the court dismissed them first. And told them: "When our master's investigation has the results, we will naturally summon you again, and you can't leave the capital until the case is over." Wait for our heralds. Do you understand? If any of you leave the capital, then the nature of this case will be redetermined, do you understand what I mean? ”

After listening to the words of the officer, the people who came to complain nodded and said, "I understand, I understand, thank you, official." Thank you, sir. After speaking, they left the palace one after another.
