Volume 2 Ji Hui Ningdu Chapter 97 The shop was sealed
By the time Shen arrived, it had been a long time since the meal had passed, and there was still an endless stream of customers who came to the door to eat the chicken.
It's just that compared to before, there are not so many people, and there are only one or twenty people in line.
Two men in gray shirts lined up at the back of the line, the one in front was pale and beads of sweat the size of a bean on his forehead, while the man in the back carefully supported him.
The two are dressed identically and look very similar, looking like twin brothers.
The two lined up and moved to the order area step by step.
Finally, it was their turn, and the man in front wiped the sweat from his face, and said in a hoarse voice: "Let's have an all-chicken package!" ”
"Welcome to the chicken to gnaw, Childe is ordering a whole chicken set, right?"
"Yes!" He wiped the new sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.
"Childe, are you alright?" The little girl who ordered saw that there was something wrong with him and asked with concern.
"It's okay...... How much money? ”
"Childe, the original price of our whole chicken package is fifty dollars, if you have a membership card, it only costs forty-five dollars for a nine-percent discount, do you have one?"
"Nope."
"Then son, do you want to make one here! As long as you spend one or two silver to get our membership, and members can get a whole chicken ...... for free"
"What nonsense are you talking about! My eldest brother said that you have a whole chicken package, and you will give you the money! Why do you talk so much? The man behind him slapped a tael of silver ingots on the table and said hurriedly.
"Okay! Son! I'll charge you a tael of silver here, and I'll find you fifty dollars!" Please wait in the order area! ”
The man took the money and walked to the order area, and after a while, the person behind the curtain came up with a wooden plate of the whole chicken package, and asked, "Childe, your whole chicken package is ready, do you eat it in the store, or wrap it in oiled paper and take it away?" ”
"Eat it in the store!"
The two men took the wooden plate, found a long table, and sat down.
The sweaty man from before devoured it devoured, while the other one didn't eat at all, watching quietly.
"Boom!" With a thud, the man with a chicken leg in his hand suddenly fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth and trembling all over.
"Big brother! What's wrong with you, big brother? The other man hurried over and tried to help him up.
Yet he trembled, and it was difficult to lift him up.
This sudden scene frightened the other people in the store, and two guys hurriedly rushed over and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"My eldest brother is poisoned! The stuff in your store is poisonous! The man shouted.
"Impossible! So many people are fine after eating! The guy said in a bit of a panic.
"How impossible! My eldest brother has always been in good health! That's it after eating what you have in the store! I'm going to report to the police! Report to the officer! ”
At this moment, there was a sound of neat footsteps outside the store, and then a man wearing the armor of the City Patrol Division walked in with several soldiers.
He glanced at it and asked sharply, "What's going on?" Who wants to report to the official! ”
The sudden appearance of the City Patrol Division startled everyone in the store.
And the man shouted loudly: "My lord, I want to report to the official!" My eldest brother was poisoned after eating something from their store! ”
Yang Dianfeng was already chatting with Yun Bo next to him, and took a nap on his stomach. The movement in the shop woke him up, and he quickly got up, walked over, and saw the man lying on the ground trembling and foaming at the mouth.
"What's going on?" Yang Dianfeng asked the guys in the store.
"Shopkeeper! I don't know! It was fine just now, and suddenly that's it! ”
The man got up, grabbed Yang Dianfeng's collar, and said sharply: "My eldest brother was poisoned by eating something in your store!"
Then he said to the official of the City Patrol Division: "My lord, please make the decision for my eldest brother!" Everything in this shop is poisonous! ”
Those who were still eating fried chicken and watching the excitement heard his words, and they were so frightened that the fried chicken in their hands fell on the table and spit out the chicken that they had just bitten off.
The official of the City Patrol Division walked up to Yang Dianfeng, looked at him, and said, "You are the shopkeeper of this store?" Xue Daocheng, the supervisor of the city patrol department! Your shop actually sells poisonous food to diners! Someone! Take down everyone in the store for me! ”
"Yes!" At this time, the soldiers of the City Patrol Division stepped forward and grabbed Yang Dianfeng and all the men.
"My lord, is there some misunderstanding? I can assure you that the stuff in our shop is absolutely not poisonous! Yang Dianfeng hurriedly said.
"Whether it is poisonous or not, you will know after checking! Bring the people back to the City Patrol Division Prison first! Call the doctor over and carry the poisoned person to the hospital! The store has been sealed! Xue Daocheng couldn't help but say, and ordered directly without listening to any explanation from Yang Dianfeng.
The day after the trial opening of the gnawing chicken, it was sealed, and the matter soon spread throughout the Suzaku district.
Those who applied for the membership card were dumbfounded, and said that they would eat for free for three days! What if you say that you can return the money when the time comes? Now that the shops have been sealed and the shopkeeper has been arrested and put in the prison of the City Patrol Division, who should I ask for this money?
Everyone thought of Xun Yanzhi, the government order that made a promise that day, and they all took the bronze medal of the membership card to the Suzaku City District Government.
Xu Xiang naturally got the news, and he naturally knew that there must be no problem with fried chicken, but someone had done something to the fried chicken restaurant.
But Yang Dianfeng was arrested and put in the prison of the City Patrol Division, his eyes were black, and he didn't know the specific details, so he could only go to Xun Yanzhi to understand the situation clearly, and then find a way to rescue the person.
Xu Xiang took Jiang Shenyu and Qing'er to the mansion, and there were already a lot of people here, and they couldn't get in at all.
Xun Yanzhi stood at the door of the mansion and persuaded bitterly: "Everyone, don't be impatient, things haven't been clarified yet, go back and wait patiently for two days!" ”
"Phew! There is a problem with the food of the gnawed chicken, and it is clear that it is trying to harm us! I also made a membership card and took our money! Lord Xun, you have made a package ticket, saying that the silver can be returned! Now that the shopkeeper has been arrested, we can only look for you! ”
"Yes! A tael of silver! Refund! ”
"Return the money! Refund! ”
"Refund the money!"
The crowd was furious, their voices were very loud, and there was a tendency to lose control.
Xun Yanzhi also had a headache, he regretted a little, he shouldn't have been reckless, when Xu Xiang came to visit him with fried chicken, he saw that the fried chicken was very delicious, so he agreed to come out to endorse the fried chicken.
"This official has already told you that all the silver of the chickens that are gnawing now has been seized by the people of the City Patrol Division, and it cannot be returned to you for the time being! Please wait patiently for two days, and when the investigation of the City Patrol Division is clear, we will definitely give you a satisfactory answer! Xun Yanzhi said loudly.
"Phew! I think you took the money from the gnawing chickens, that's why you vouched for them! I applied for membership because I trusted you, a corrupt official, in the first place! Corrupt officials! Lose my hard-earned money! ”
"Corrupt officials! Money! ”
"Corrupt officials! Money! ”
The situation began to deteriorate, and this group of people seemed to be provoked by people with good intentions, and the momentum was getting bigger and bigger, and many people were already preparing to start attacking the government.
Xu Xiang frowned and said to Jiang Shenyu: "Shenyu, how much silver do you have there?" ”
"I have three hundred taels here. What's wrong? Jiang Shenyu said, taking out a money bag, which contained a stack of Daxia silver tickets.
"Lend it to me first! There are about 400 people here, and there should be a lot of people watching the excitement, and the real members are estimated to be less than 300. These three hundred taels should be enough! Xu Xiang said.
All the silver money before has been spent, and the silver money is in Yang Dianfeng's hands, and now Yang Dianfeng has been arrested by the City Patrol Division, and he has no big money now.
Jiang Shenyu handed him the money bag and asked, "Are you planning to return the money to them?" Then all your efforts these days have been in vain! ”
Xu Xiang smiled bitterly, "If you don't return the money to them now, then once they attack the government, the consequences will be even more serious." In this matter, there must be someone behind the gnawing chicken! ”
"We've only been in trial business for two days, and we don't have any enemies in Ningdu, who would deal with us like this?"
"There are always some red-eyed people!" A cold glint flashed in Xu Xiang's eyes, "No matter who is behind this, I will find them out and have fun with them!" ”
"Shen Yu, I'll take care of things here first! You and Qing'er go back first. ”
"Then be careful."
Xu Xiang nodded, watching the situation deteriorate step by step, and hurriedly walked over with the money bag, shouting loudly: "Don't make any noise!" I'll give you your money back! ”
As soon as he shouted, the crowd fell silent instantly.
When Xun Yanzhi saw Xu Xiang, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. The best way to solve the current situation is to return the money, but these four or five hundred people, he is a clean official, how can he have so much silver. Now that Xu Xiang has appeared and said that he wants to return the money, all this will be much easier.
Xu Xiang walked towards Xun Yanzhi and said apologetically: "Lord Xun, I've embarrassed you!" ”
Xun Yanzhi showed a faint smile, "Young Master Xu, you're finally here!" Otherwise, the official really doesn't know what to do! ”
Xu Xiang took all the silver tickets in his hand, raised them high, and said: "The silver is here, rest assured, it will be returned to you in a lot!" Wait to line up one by one and exchange your membership card for silver! ”
Then he said to Xun Yanzhi: "Lord Xun, can you ask your servants to help exchange all the silver tickets for one or two pieces of silver, and then help exchange them?" ”
"Naturally, there is no problem with this! Tie Niu, you went over to help Xu Gongzi exchange money, and asked a few people to return the money to everyone together! ”
"Thank you so much, sir!" Xu Xiang handed all the silver tickets to the errand officer named Tie Niu next to him, and then said to Xun Yanzhi: "Lord Xun, this matter must be instigated by someone behind it, can you call a few people to help track down those people who take the lead in making trouble, especially the people who are not the chicken members we gnaw, and the people who make the most trouble." Find out who instructed them to come to the government to make trouble? ”
One of Xun Yan was anxious at first, but he didn't expect this layer, but after Xu Xiang reminded him, he naturally reacted.
Then he called a few more servants and stared at the leaders who were the most cheerful.
"Lord Xun, I still have something I want to ask you, I don't know if it's okay?" Xu Xiang said again.
"Come with me to the inner hall!" Xun Yanzhi turned around and entered the mansion, while Xu Xiang followed.
When they came to the inner hall, they helped make tea, and there were only two people left.
Xu Xiang apologized again, Xun Yanzhi naturally knew that this incident was not Xu Xiang's fault, and he did not blame him.
"Lord Xun, I know almost nothing about this matter, can you tell me what you know?" Xu Xiang asked.
"Someone ate something in your store and fell to the ground on the spot, foaming at the mouth, as if they had been poisoned. It just so happened that the people from the City Patrol Division passed by, so they arrested everyone in the store, and the store was sealed! Xun Yanzhi briefly said what happened.
"I promise, there's nothing wrong with what's in my store!" Xu Xiang patted his chest and said.
"This official naturally knows that there is nothing wrong with the things in your store! The fried chicken you make is so delicious, it's obviously a money-making business, isn't it stupid to put such a lucrative business and don't do it, and poison people? From the first day you came to the official, the official knew that you were not such a stupid person! ”
"It's too coincidental that I was poisoned immediately after eating something in the store, and it happened to be a passing by, right?"
"This official also thinks it's a bit of a coincidence! Have you offended someone? ”
"Xu has been in Ningdu for less than a month, how can he offend people? Can you let me meet Yang Dianfeng? If he wanted to find out what happened, he could only turn to Xun Yanzhi for help.
"Master Xu, it's not that the official won't help you! I am not qualified to go to the Yamen of the City Patrol Division. Not to mention letting you go to the prison of the City Patrol Division to see Shopkeeper Yang, please forgive this official for not being able to help. Xun Yanzhi shook his head.
Xu Xiang showed a disappointed look in his eyes, and asked again: "I don't know, what is the situation of the poisoned person now?" ”
"The man was admitted to the infirmary, and his life was temporarily untouched. The official also went to see it and chatted with the younger brother of the poisoned person. From the words, the official didn't feel that there was someone behind them, so this was also an unbelievable point for the official. ”
"Excuse me, sir, which hospital is the poisoned person in, Xu wants to visit, and by the way, ask about the situation."
