Chapter 41: Poisonous, Really Poisonous!
Click!
The horse's hooves made a crisp sound on the bluestone slabs of the street, and Chen Lingxiao and his party finally approached their destination.
Chen Lingxiao opened the curtain of the car and saw the Piaoxiang Restaurant standing opposite the Jiannan Restaurant.
At this time, the door of Piaoxiang Restaurant was closed, and there was no one.
"Shut down!"
Chen Lingxiao made a gesture towards the restaurant to shoot, grinning and muttering to himself.
The frame came to the door of Jiannan Restaurant and stopped, which is in stark contrast to Piaoxiang Restaurant, where a large number of guests have gathered and are full.
The arrival of Chen Lingxiao and Chen Ruoxi immediately attracted everyone's attention.
To be precise, it was Chen Ruoxi who attracted everyone's attention.
She's so beautiful, like a black hole that catches the eye!
Chen Lingxiao walked up to the makeshift platform in the hall, glanced around at the guests in the hall, and suddenly, there was a glint in his eyes.
He saw a few old acquaintances: Zhou Feng, the lord of Jiannan City, Lin Guang, the general judge of Lingnan County, and Lan Xiaoyan, the son of the chief treasurer of the Southwest Cent Village of the Jin Kingdom of Changqing Qianzhuang.
The two people in front of them are quite urban, and with Chen Lingxiao's gaze, they are peaceful.
But Lan Xiaoyan's gaze was full of murder and hatred, giving Chen Lingxiao the feeling that the other party was like a terrible ghost who had died unjustly, seeking revenge.
"Today's agency bidding conference is really lively, ghosts, demons and monsters are here!" Chen Lingxiao said secretly in his heart.
On the surface, he grinned and said:
"I, Ling Xiao Chen, on behalf of the Earl of Jiannan, welcome you to come...... Next, I will invite you to taste Dongpo meat, and after tasting it, we will conduct a proxy bidding!"
As soon as his words fell, there was a lot of discussion below.
"Dongpo meat, I came from thousands of miles away for it, and I will definitely have a good meal today!"
"I heard that this Dongpo meat is extremely delicious!"
"If it's really as delicious as the rumors, I'm going to take the agency!"
“......”
Chen Lingxiao listened to everyone's discussion and was very satisfied.
It seems that the spread of this Dongpo meat reputation is faster than I imagined.
Zhou Feng, Lin Tongju and others, but there was a haze in their eyes.
Chen Lingxiao was happy, but they were not happy.
Lan Xiaoyan secretly gritted his teeth: Eat, let you eat well in a while, eat you to death!
It didn't take long for the little vegetable servant to be sent into the hall with a plate of steaming and fragrant Dongpo meat.
Suddenly, the house was full of incense, and everyone couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
Everyone picked up the chopsticks and was about to clip the mouth-watering Dongpo meat, but at this moment, a terrible scream suddenly sounded.
Ah——!h
Everyone couldn't help but stop their movements and follow the sound.
I saw a man at the table on the left, suddenly holding his stomach, his face full of pain, and the corners of his mouth were constantly foaming at the mouth.
In front of him, he threw a piece of Dongpo meat and took a bite.
"This ...... This meat is poisonous !!."
The man stammered as he finished speaking, and his body fell limply.
When Chen Lingxiao heard this, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly:
These demons and monsters have finally stretched out their black hands!
The mastermind behind this matter is really vicious!
Unexpectedly, come up with such a trick to deal with me and make my Dongpo Meat Seasoning Bag infamous!
Although he was angry in his heart, Chen Lingxiao did not show it on the surface.
Chen Ruoxi on her side, her beautiful face was full of anger, her hand was tightly gripping the hilt of the sword, and she couldn't wait to cut off the person who caused the trouble with a sword.
Chen Lingxiao sensed her anger, stretched out his big hand to hold Ruoxi's small hand, and said softly in a volume that only the two of them could hear:
"Ruoxi, don't worry, none of them can run away, I will clean them up properly!"
At this moment, the huge hall became quiet.
Everyone unanimously focused their eyes on Chen Lingxiao, wanting to see what he, the person in charge of the organizer of the agency bidding conference, had to say.
Lin Tao, the Lingnan County Shou sitting below, had a faint smile on his face, and also looked at Chen Lingxiao with great interest, seeing how he responded to this crisis.
Lan Xiaoyan stood up, touched the poisoned man's snort, and pointed at Chen Lingxiao aggressively:
"Chen Lingxiao, your Dongpo meat seasoning recipe is poisonous, and now you eat dead people, what do you say?!"
Some people took the lead in provoking thorns, and many people at the scene also stood up and shouted.
"Shizi, you have to give us an explanation for this matter. If it hadn't been for the man who ate poison first and died, we would have eaten it too, and now we would probably have turned into a corpse like him!"
"Shizi, you don't call it a bidding conference, you should call it a murder conference!"
"I suggest that I immediately report to the city lord, ask him to arrest Chen Lingxiao and the chefs of Jiannan Restaurant, conduct strict interrogation, and return justice to the deceased. ”
"Yes, report to the officer!"
The guys and cooks of Jiannan Restaurant saw the dead man, and the guests also said that they would report to the official to deal with it, and they trembled with fear.
Chen Ruoxi clenched her teeth:
Today, it is obvious that someone wants to frame Jiannan Restaurant and Earl's Palace, not only to make the bidding meeting fail, but also to arrest the righteous brother, which is really vicious!
Chen Lingxiao glanced at Ruoxi and gave a reassuring smile:
"The enemy's conspiracy will not succeed!"
At this moment, Chen Ruoxi suddenly felt that he was really inferior to his righteous brother, he did not change color when he encountered an accident, and he didn't change color when he encountered an accident, and he didn't know how many people there were just this bearing!
She looked at her brother-in-law and couldn't help but be slightly stunned!
No one noticed that a ray of light flew out from Chen Lingxiao's body and descended into the corner of the hall.
Then the gods unknowingly manifested a strong man with a body like an iron tower, he was Wu Zongdianwei.
As soon as he manifested, the tiger's eyes looked at Lan Xiaoyan, who was extremely arrogant.
Suddenly, the high-spirited Lan Xiaoyan suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, as if he was being targeted by an ancient beast.
Instinctively, he looked back into the corner and saw a tower-like giant.
Somehow, Lan Xiaoyan felt that this big man was not a human, but really a fierce beast that chose people to devour.
Shout!
Dian Wei flicked his fingers, and there was a small thing, like thunder and lightning, which flew towards Lan Xiaoyan, and in the blink of an eye, it burrowed into his big mouth.
Lan Xiaoyan instinctively wanted to shout and dodge, but he couldn't do it at all, as if he had been immobilized.
......
Zhou Feng, who was sitting below, looked at the county guard with the meaning of inquiry.
According to common sense, now that there are dead people in the restaurant, he, the lord of the city, can't sit still.
Lin Tao nodded at him.
Rise!
With the permission of his boss, Zhou Fengteng stood up and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, everything that happened here, the city lord knows it. This matter will be dealt with by the city lord!"
Only then did everyone realize that Zhou Feng, the city lord, was also in this hall.
It's just because the other party is sitting in the corner, and he is not wearing an official uniform, but also wearing a hat, and is dressed as an ordinary literati, that he is not recognized.
Zhou Feng stared at Chen Lingxiao and said in a deep voice: "Shizi, if something like this happens, the city will mainly seal off the restaurant and bring you and a group of relevant people back to the City Lord's Mansion for interrogation!"
After finishing speaking, the vultures rushed into a team of officials from outside the door.
Seeing this, Chen Lingxiao sneered: "City Lord Zhou, you are really prepared!"
"Shizi, it's useless for you to say this, it's better to go back to the City Lord's Mansion with me obediently and accept interrogation!" Zhou Feng said coldly.
He hated this Chen Lingxiao to the core, naturally, he wished he was dead!
Facing the murderous servants, Chen Lingxiao suddenly raised his hand and said, "Slow!"
"What else do you have to say?" Zhou Feng said.
Chen Lingxiao pointed to the dead man's table, to be precise, at Lan Xiaoyan: "City Lord Zhou, you have to arrest him, not me!"
