We have to start from the beginning.

The Qiao family was divided into two ways at the beginning, the third master was responsible for tracking Wu Bencao and determining his movements, and the fifth master took the opportunity to sneak into his house and steal ingredients and soup utensils.

When Wu Bencao left the spirit meat shop, Qiao Sanye followed in, but failed to get effective news from the mouth of the shopkeeper Zheng, and at this time, Qiao Wuye's people came to inform him that the wormwood bar was going well, and he could retreat.

He was still not at ease, followed for a while, and watched Wu Bencao walk into Haiyan Tower. After all, Haiyan Tower is the territory of the Feng family, and he is a figure with a head and face in the Qiao family, the relationship between the two families is self-evident, if he also goes in, I am afraid that it will make waves and be exposed in front of Wu Bencao.

So, he returned to his family to resume his life.

It didn't take long for the head of the family, Qiao Zhenting, to receive the bad news from the wormwood bar, and he was furious on the spot and decided to go out. Before leaving, he had already thought of slandering Wu Bencao, and sent Qiao Sanye to the spiritual butcher's shop, fed poison to Shopkeeper Zheng and his companions, and forced them to lie.

Hence the current scene.

The life of the shopkeeper Zheng was pinched in the hands of the Qiao family, and in order to get the antidote, he had no choice but to slander Wu Bencao.

Wu Bencao was stunned for a while, but he didn't expect that the Qiao family's deployment was very thorough, and he had already made offerings in advance. No wonder Qiao Zhenting not only dared to agree to confront him, but also proposed to let him be arrested, and he made trouble for a long time, it turned out that he was waiting for him here.

The Great Elder was overjoyed and scolded sharply: "Wu Bencao, the shopkeeper Zheng was named by you, and people told the truth and didn't want to perjury for you, you have been exposed! We just agreed very clearly, you can't prove yourself, then just arrest it!"

After that, he ordered everyone in the Qiao family to come forward and arrest Wu Bencao.

"Wait!"

At the critical moment, Wu Bencao was not flustered, and said awe-inspiringly: "I really didn't expect that you still have this hand." Do you think that if the surname Zheng slanders me, I will not be able to prove my innocence? Hmph, I have disappointed you, I still have witnesses!"

He certainly had witnesses, and there were countless witnesses. Just now in Haiyan Tower, he and Ding Qiandao competed in knife skills, which was obvious to all, and the customers present could testify. Even if the owner's wind sword wants to lie, it can't stop the mouths of the people.

This incident happened not long ago, and no matter how fast the news spread, it would not reach here immediately.

Qiao Zhenting lay on the ground and said gloomily: "You said that Shopkeeper Zheng can testify, everyone believes you once, what is the result? You are still dead, no one is willing to lie for you, and we will not let you mess around endlessly!"

Wu Bencao looked at Zhang Jun and said softly, "Please give me another chance, Lord City." This time, I promise that there is no possibility of perjury if I can produce conclusive evidence!"

One or two people may be able to lie, but nearly a hundred people will not all lie, just go and call the guests of Haiyan Tower, even if only a few people are left there, it is enough.

Zhang Jun turned around, took off the wine gourd, and after taking a sip without hurrying, he sighed: "It's rare for the old man to go out, and he was called by you from afar, so it's not too late." I can give you a chance, but with additional conditions......"

Wu Bencao was stunned, "What conditions?"

Zhang Jun said: "I want the Qiao family to agree, wait for you for a while, they can put forward one more condition." Of course, the old man is standing here, and he can't wait in vain, and he is also qualified to put forward conditions. If you don't agree, then the old man can only make a judgment against you. ”

He can't afford to make a profit, and he also wants to get a piece of the pie from Wu Bencao.

When Qiao Zhenting heard this, he echoed: "The city lord is reasonable! we can't wait in vain, we can also find new witnesses, the condition of the Qiao family is that once you prove yourself to fail, you have to hand over the recipe for the soup of hope, do you dare to agree?"

He could guess that Wu Bencao wanted to invite the guys from Haiyan Mansion to prove that he had eaten in the restaurant. But he didn't take it to heart, because in his opinion, Wu Bencao and the Feng family had a falling out, and at this juncture, the Feng family would not repay the grievances with virtue and help Wu Bencao get rid of his crimes.

His judgment was right, Wu Bencao had also been to Haiyan Tower, and he must have invited people in the building.

But by chance, after Wu Bencao entered the building, he was not just like Qiao Zhenting thought, just having an ordinary meal and only being seen by the waiter, but there was an episode of a knife test, which exposed him to everyone.

This error of judgment is fatal.

He thought he could take the opportunity to get the recipe, but in fact, it would be Wu Materia Medica who had the last laugh.

Wu Bencao nodded, "I can agree." Lord Castle, what are your conditions?"

Zhang Jun thought for a while and said, "My conditions are very simple, let you help me cook a big meal." Whether you are innocent or not, how the Qiao family will deal with you in the future, this meal will not be avoided. ”

The implication is that no matter what the outcome is, he has made up his mind for this meal.

Wu Bencao readily agreed, "Okay, then please ask the city lord to give an order and let everyone in Haiyan Tower come over!"

Zhang Jun and Qiao Zhenting were both surprised, and said in unison: "Everyone?"

There are too many witnesses to be called this time, and why should we invite everyone?

Wu Bencao smiled slightly, "It's actually very simple. Master Qiao, I guess you sent someone to follow me, knowing that I went to the Spirit Butcher Shop and Haiyan Mansion successively. But your people didn't dare to follow up on Haiyan Tower for fear of alarming the Feng family, I don't know what I did in it, right?"

If Qiao Zhenting knew about the knife skill, he would not dare to agree to pass on the witnesses again.

Qiao Zhenting lost too much blood, and his face was already pale, but after hearing this, he looked even more ugly, and couldn't help asking, "What do you mean? What have you done in it, and what does it have to do with our Qiao family!"

Wu Bencao replied: "Actually, there is no need to pass on any more witnesses, you will hear tomorrow that I am competing with Chef Ding in Haiyan Mansion in public, and in such a long time, it is impossible for me to appear at home at the same time and kill the people of your Qiao family." ”

Whether or not witnesses are summoned on the spot, it sounds the same, in fact, there are still people.

If Wu Bencao is subject to Xiao Ai, is arrested today, and is tortured and interrogated by the Qiao family overnight, then, even if the truth is revealed tomorrow, what is the point?

His intention in inviting the city lord to confront him was to solve the dilemma in front of him.

As soon as the witnesses arrived, the Qiao family's excuse dissipated instantly, and they could not continue to use force in front of the city lord, so they could only keep their promises and offer compensation for burning down the house, completely losing the battle.

It can be seen from this that the witnesses still have to be summoned.

"Therefore, all the guests in Haiyan Building can testify for me. It's been less than half an hour since I left the restaurant, and there should still be a lot of people left there. Call them in, and everything will fall into place. ”

Zhang Jun understood, walked up to Qiao Zhenting's side with his hand, and asked playfully, "Master Qiao, do you want to invite another witness?"

This is to give the Qiao family a face, so that Qiao Zhenting will take the initiative to soften, and don't embarrass himself. Otherwise, the witnesses of Haiyan Tower will be brought, Qiao Zhenting's lies will be exposed in public, and his face will be gone, and he will have no place to embarrass himself.

Qiao Zhenting's face was like ashes, and he knew that the conspiracy was exposed, and it could not be recovered.

He couldn't openly reveal the truth and let everyone in Goose City know that the Qiao family couldn't be thieves, but blew himself up at the scene and became a big joke.

He let out a long sigh and said gloomily: "Wu Bencao, this game is the Qiao family's loss. That's it for today, and after three days, I'll give you a surprise compensation to your satisfaction. ”

This is more tactful, he is embarrassed to say it directly because of his face.

Wu Bencao was not satisfied, walked up to him, condescending, "Master Qiao, I don't understand very well, please translate for the translator, what the hell is a surprise?"

Qiao Zhenting glared at him, his face turned red suddenly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "The surprise is that after three days, I will pay a hundred yuan for you to rebuild a store!"

According to the recent housing prices in Goose City, one hundred yuan stone can almost buy half of Hanzheng Street. In such an embarrassing situation, Qiao Zhenting just wanted to calm things down, get out of the cat's paw threat as soon as possible, and didn't care about bargaining.

Wu Bencao shook his head and said patiently: "You don't know, my kind of magic weapon...... It's the kind that can blow up many of you, and it's very expensive, and your Qiao Goro smashed one for me, and it's worth a hundred yuan stones alone. ”

Hearing him describe the gas canister like this, Qiao Zhenting's lungs were about to explode.

"Two hundred!"

Wu Bencao shook his head again, "You don't know, my pot ...... It's just a ...... that can stew hope."

Qiao Zhenting knew that he was taking the opportunity to humiliate himself, and he couldn't bear this nagging, but he couldn't break his promise in front of the city lord, so he roared in a low voice: "Three hundred yuan!"

Wu Bencao smiled, "I have to cook a big meal for the city lord from afar, you see ...... this cost."

Qiao Zhenting trembled, and said fiercely: "Five hundred yuan, no more!"

City Lord Zhang Jun stood next to him and patted Wu Bencao's shoulder, "Enough is enough." The Qiao family promised to compensate for the house, and you exchanged hostages, and today's fight ended here. As for the future, as long as you don't go to the City Lord's Mansion to fight, I don't bother to mix it up again......"

With that, he flicked his fingers and flicked the sword around Xiao Ai's neck in the air.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan quickly jumped away from Qiao Zhenting, landed on Xiao Ai's shoulder, and stared at Zhang Jun.

No one in the field knew better than it how terrifying this old man's strength really was.

Equally terrible, there is the old donkey.

PS: I very much welcome comments from readers, and I am willing to take them into account.

However, I have a small request, that is, if the reader has doubts or disagrees, can they be a little patient and wait a few more chapters to see how I will write it first.

After all, space is limited, and I can't explain all the ins and outs in just one chapter.

Wouldn't it be a pity if we lacked this patience and caused misunderstandings and rashly abandoned the book?

Thank you for your understanding and support!
