"Xiaoxue, you have to be mentally prepared first." Kong Liangbo said soothingly, "The restaurant you opened in partnership with my family Hao'er was closed by the government today. The reason for this is because some people have come to complain that the food in your restaurant is poisonous, and now there are people who have been killed or injured because of it. ”

"Huh? ……。 Nangong Xue was obviously a little unconvinced, her big eyes looked straight at Kong Liangbo, and she said in surprise, "How come?" It's impossible, Kong Haoyu has poured all his heart and soul into cooking, how could this kind of thing happen? Uncle, you can't be mistaken or misheard, right? ”

"Absolutely." Kong Liangbo said calmly, "Kong Haoyu and the other workers in the store are now detained by the government. I just visited Hao'er, and it's okay, and there is no execution, but according to the law, the government that has no evidence now cannot punish them, unless there is physical evidence, and now it is not enough to rely on the unilateral rhetoric of the people, so the government is now estimated to have begun to investigate the physical evidence. And I just came here to tell you, and then listen to what you have to say about this situation, in other words, I want to hear if there is something you haven't said clearly recently, or if you have inadvertently provoked someone, and then you have these things now? I'm Hao'er's father, of course I don't want my son to be a scapegoat or something else in this matter, I don't want him to be hurt, Yu Gong, I hope the government will act impartially, and then investigate clearly, if it has nothing to do with you, I hope the government can return you a clean slate, so it's good for you, Hao'er and even for those who work in Jinfuxuan, do you say I'm right? So even if your uncle asks you, I hope you can think about it, Hao'er is busy with the stove all day long, and he hardly has the heart to manage other things. So I asked him, but he replied that he didn't know anything. So much so that my uncle's last hope is pinned on your side, hoping that you can have some proof of your innocence. I don't want you to be innocently convicted of poisoning in this matter. I hope you understand what I mean. ”

After listening to Kong Liangbo's words, Nangong Xue basically understood, to be honest, Nangong Xue was still very sympathetic to Kong Liangbo at the moment, as a father, watching his son suffer in prison, his heart was really entangled. So comforted: "Uncle, I understand your mood at the moment, I understand what you just said, in fact, after all, something happened to the restaurant, and I am also duty-bound as a partner, so I should also stand up and take responsibility, this is the result of my usual mismanagement, don't worry, let me think about it." ”

So Nangong Xue quickly recalled the things that had happened in the past one by one in her mind. Later, she also told Kong Liangbo about the fact that someone came to smash the restaurant at that time, and told Kong Liangbo about her arrangements for the restaurant inside and out.

After listening to what Nangong Xue said, Kong Liangbo frowned slightly, and said lightly: "...... Someone else came to smash the scene? Why haven't you ever heard Hao'er say this? Who are you, have you checked? What's with? ”

"It's that I didn't plan to let Kong Haoyu tell you." Nangong Xue replied, "I was going to investigate this matter, but at that time, because I still had a renovation project going on, Kong Haoyu said that it would be good for him to investigate, so that I could do what I should do with peace of mind." So I handed over the investigation to Kong Haoyu to do, and later he also approached me to tell me about the clues he found, but at that time, I happened to be busy with the martial arts competition, so I told him to go back. This time it dragged on until now,...... Uncle is all my fault, I was negligent. Scold me. ”

After speaking, Nangong Xue lowered her head and begged Kong Liangbo to blame, Kong Liangbo looked at Nangong Xue who dared to take responsibility, and felt more or less comforted in his heart, and he said lightly: "You don't have to blame yourself too much." The reason why you are so busy taking care of the restaurant is that there is a reason, I know that you have not been idle in the past two years, and you are busy doing the things explained by the emperor every day, and you are also powerless, but fortunately, I have heard some useful information from you, and I didn't come in vain, ah yes, I almost forgot to remind you, I estimate that it won't be long before Lord Deacon Nancheng will come to you. You have to be prepared, at least talk to your family, and whether or not the deacon will also take you into custody temporarily, you have to make your family feel prepared, right? Don't take you into custody, and your family doesn't know where you are, so won't you worry about your family when the time comes? ”

"Uh-huh, okay." Nangong Xue nodded and said, "I know, thank you uncle for reminding me." ”

"Hmm." Then Kong Liangbo turned his head slightly, and saw that Wei Yongnian was already standing at the door waiting for Nangong Xue, so he said, "Yo, Yongnian, are you here?" Have you been waiting for a long time? Don't stand, come in and sit. ”

"Hmm." Wei Yongnian shook his head and replied, "I just arrived, I waited at the door for a while and didn't see my eldest lady come out, so I came in to see what was going on, I'm fine, if you have something, you can talk about it first, I'll just wait outside." As soon as the words fell, Wei Yongnian took a few steps back to the door.

Before he could take a few steps back, Kong Liangbo hurriedly stood up and pulled him back and looked at the sunset outside, and said, "Hey, Yongnian, you come back, what are you going to do, we just finished talking, and there is nothing mysterious, I just learned a little about the situation with Xiaoxue, I see that it is not early now, so let's go together." Xiaoxue is really sorry to delay you for so long. ”

Nangong Xue waved her hand slightly, and said, "Uncle, don't say that, it's inevitable that you will find me, you don't need to apologize to me, but I just want to tell you I'm sorry, it's my negligence that has caused Kong Haoyu to worry about it." But don't worry, I'll do my best to figure this out, and then I'll return Kong Haoyu's innocence. I remember this. Then since it's not too early, I'll send you off. ”

As he spoke, he stood up and wanted to send Kong Liangbo,

"So what are you going to do next? Got a clue? Wei Yongnian asked, "Do you need me to help you?" ”

"I don't dare to say what I know, but I have a target of suspicion, and unfortunately I'm not sure if it has anything to do with them." Nangong Xue replied, "But if you are willing to help me, then I will not be polite to you." ”

After a while, the carriage stopped in front of Nangong Mansion, and the two of them had just gotten out of the carriage and were about to walk to the mansion, when they heard someone calling Nangong Xue behind them. Hearing this, the two turned around and looked at it, and Wei Yongnian hurriedly asked, "May I ask who the master is?" ”

"The lower official Qi Runben is the deacon of the Yamen of the Southern City Deacon." Qi Runben reported to his family and said, "This person next to me is my personal butler and my master Wu Changgao." ”

"It turned out to be Lord Qi. Hello. Wei Yongnian greeted respectfully, "It's so late, why is Lord Qi visiting?" ”

"Xia Guan came here at this time because he wanted to ask Lord Nangong, the head of the sect." Qi Runben replied, "I wonder if Lord Nangong can have this time?" ”

"Look for me." Nangong Xue said calmly, "Then let's invite Lord Qi into the mansion to talk." It's a bit inappropriate to stand outside and talk, and if people see it, they will say that we don't know how to count. ”

As he spoke, he beckoned Qi Runben into the house, and after arriving at the main hall, Nangong Xue invited Qi Runben to sit down and instructed someone to make tea and pour water. Nangong Xue sat next to her and asked, "Lord Qi, if you have anything to ask, I must know everything." ”

"In that case, then the lower officials won't go around in circles." Saying that, Qi Run asked straight to the point, "Lord Nangong, in your memory, have you ever had a grudge with anyone or anything else, because today's Jinfuxuan restaurant of yours was sued for poisoning, and the lower officials initially investigated and learned that the people in charge of your restaurant are all responsible people from top to bottom, and there is no motive for poisoning, but as soon as the case came out, did the lower official think that there was any misunderstanding here?" I hope that Lord Nangong can give me some advice, so that the lower officials can solve the case as soon as possible and give you and the others in Jinfuxuan justice. ”

Nangong Xue thought about it for a while, and recounted the words that she had answered Kong Liangbo before about taking food word for word, and then said lightly: "The above is a little festival I encountered, but I haven't investigated whether they have any grievances against us Jin Fuxuan behind them." But now that you've taken over the case, it's a clue. I hope it helps you solve the case. The rest of my father really didn't know, and it seems that there hasn't been any conflict since then. ”

“…… Well, okay, the lower officer made a note of it. Qi Runben nodded, looked at the content of the record in Wu Chang's hand, and replied, "Thank you Lord Nangong for the clues, the lower official will definitely investigate carefully, if you are really framed and framed, the lower official will definitely punish those who falsely accuse you, and give you and Jin Fuxuan justice." ”

"Then there's you, Lord Lao Qi." Nangong Xue said lightly, "If there is any need for the case in the future, please come directly to this official without being polite." I won't mind. ”

While these two people were talking, Wei Yongnian kept standing next to him, listening silently, and couldn't help but think in his heart: "It seems that the other party should strike first." I'll report to the master later. ”
