Wei Ziqian approached the corpse with a timid face at this moment, covering his mouth and nose with his sleeves with his facial features, but his eyes were staring at the other guard's body search without blinking. Until he saw that the other party found a small sign on the neck of the corpse, he raised his sword eyebrows quietly.

It's the dead of the Quartet again.

He took two steps back, then stepped back, his expression unsettled.

"Ah Jiu, it's dead, let's go back."

"Okay." Lu Jiu'er said calmly, "Let's go." ”

After I go back, I have to tell Dabei that the two guards for Ah Qian don't need to be sent out. I'm afraid that if it is really arranged, it will be a mistake for him.

Xu is heart is loaded with things, and they have nothing to say along the way. When the general approached the door of Lu Mansion, Lu Jiu'er stood and looked at Wei Ziqian.

He smiled at her. "Ah Jiu, have a good rest."

Lu Jiu'er had a lot to ask, but when she looked into his mysterious dark eyes, those words finally turned into silent sighs.

She remembered that she had a peace charm in her purse, opened it, took it out, and handed it to him.

"This talisman has been consecrated by the monks of Huasong Temple, you can take it with you to keep safe."

Don't toss yourself to death easily.

Wei Ziqian thanked him with a smile. "I haven't given Ah Jiu a gift yet, I have to pick it up and send it to you another day."

"Okay." Lu Jiu'er looked at him deeply and walked into the door of the house.

Wei Ziqian watched the door close before turning to leave. About a street away, Qing Mo appeared behind him.

Wei Ziqian glanced at him. Qing Mo understood and said, "That person came out of the jewelry shop. ”

That jewel? The corners of Wei Ziqian's mouth curled slightly, but his expression flashed with a touch of fierceness.

He relayed the accidental death incident mentioned by Ah Jiu to Qingmo.

"In other words, if it doesn't work out this time, there will definitely be a next time." Qingmo is not worried.

"But next time it won't be just one killer." Wei Ziqian said lightly.

Qingmo disagreed. These things are familiar to him, anyway, come one to kill one, come two to kill a pair. It's just—

"Have they already discovered your identity, or are they ......"

"No, they're not sure yet, they'd just kill by mistake."

However, the others were easily dealt with, and when it was his turn, he missed. If you don't do some special treatment, I'm afraid it will affect Ah Jiu.

"I haven't eaten dinner well, and now I'm hungry again, so let's go buy some supper."

Wei Ziqian smiled and looked in the direction of the street.

"Hungry?" Qingmo seemed to be smiling.

"Let's go." Wei Ziqian turned around and took the lead into the night.

After receiving the news at night, it was inconvenient to come to the door, and after the dawn of the next day, Cai Zhibei counted the hours and came to Lu Jiu'er to see Lu Jiu'er.

She came in a plain and light summer shirt, which added a bit of dusty temperament to the elegance. The black jade-like black hair is simply curled into a double bun, and the beautiful eyes look forward to the arrival, smiling before speaking, like the sun and the moon.

Cai Zhibei was careful and auspicious, but still looked at the faint shadow under his eyes. He said lightly: "If you can't sleep, call the doctor to take the pulse and prescribe a decoction." ”

Anyone who encounters such a bloody scene must be frightened for a while, and they will have to drag their bodies down.

"It's okay, I already have a soothing tea recipe, and I'm already taking it." Lu Jiu'er smiled at him. "Dabei, I still need to thank you for last night's incident."

Cai Zhibei shook his head. "If it weren't for the help of a third party, the two brothers would have been killed or injured. It's just that the man didn't show up, and I don't know who he was. ”

Lu Jiu'er took a sip of tea, and inexplicably recalled the firm and firm embrace when Ah Qian hugged her, and couldn't help but have long eyelashes and slowly put the teacup down.

"Has the deceased been identified?"

"Well, it's a dead soldier raised by the emperor's relatives."

Lu Jiu'er was surprised. "Why do they want to kill people in the provincial capital?"

Cai Zhibei's expression was solemn. "Anyway, we can't look into it anymore."

The people don't fight with the officials, let alone the people of the royal family. Lu Jiuer agreed with his decision.

"The corpse ......"

"It's been taken care of, don't worry." Cai Zhibei understated.

Jianghu people have their own set of handling methods.

"But just in case, it's better for you to go out less during this time."

"Okay." Lu Jiu'er smiled slightly, although she didn't plan to cancel the original 'tasting banquet' arrangement, she didn't refuse his kind reminder in person.

"Is there any new progress in the investigation of the Wu family?"

"Not yet, this matter is urgent." Cai Zhibei hesitated.

The muddy water of that pool is indeed strangely deep, but without a basis, it was decided not to mention the speculation in my heart for the time being, and only pick some things in front of me.

"The shops have more or less inserted eyeliner in, and it is reported that the restaurant will open as soon as early next month."

...... early next month

Lu Jiu'er estimated the time in her heart, and said with a smile: "It's not in the way, this time they will not get much benefit from repeating their old tricks." ”

"It seems that the Nine Girls have a way to crack it." Cai Zhibei smiled lightly.

"Look." The girl smiled and groaned, and the bamboo was in her chest.

The 'Tasting Feast' at the Happy Stack started out twice a year and later evolved to once a season. It is mainly to make dishes with fresh ingredients produced in Zhuangzi with special preparation methods or cooking, and present them to cooperative and potential customers for reference and tasting, so as to determine the type and quantity of ingredients planned to be ordered next, so as to facilitate Zhuangli to make long-term supply reserves.

The guests arrived early with the invitation sticker, and sat down at the front of the table and did not get up.

There will only be three VIP seats for each tasting banquet, so you can watch the cooking process of each dish up close. The other seats are first-come, first-served, and those who come late can only be ranked last. It's too far away, it's hard to stand up and look at it, it's a loss of identity.

Different from previous banquets, after the process was completed, Lu Jiuer specially retained a few familiar families and sincerely invited them to move to the teahouse to talk.

As soon as they sat down, everyone greeted each other, and after a few more small talks, they fell into an awkward atmosphere.

Because they are all competing peers, there is no in-depth topic to talk about except for the superficial enthusiasm. I don't know what kind of thoughts the nine girls have in bringing them together.

"Everyone, they are well."

Lu Jiu'er came in and greeted each family one by one.

After taking her seat, she looked around at everyone present, and said loudly: "The business operations of the four buildings and seven stacks in the city have always had their own characteristics, and the sun and the moon shine together. But—"

Her tone turned solemn.

"Now the good situation is no longer good, there are tiger and wolf black shops everywhere in the city, and there is a lot of danger! I don't know, have you noticed? ”

Everyone looked at each other.

The proprietress of the "Tianxiang Inn" asked in a coquettish voice, "What do you mean by what the ninth girl said?" It's scary to listen to. ”

Lu Jiu'er heard this, smiled slightly, and did not speak.

The owner of Zuixianglou stood up and said, "Does the ninth girl mean the soon-to-open Dongsheng Food Shop and Delicious Zhai?" ”

"What did Boss Yue say about this?" Someone next to him asked.

Drunken Xiang Lou Yue Shanhai arched his hand to the person who asked him. "Actually, I sent someone to send a post to the Nine Girls before, which is related to this matter." He turned his head to look at Lu Jiu'er, and saw that she bowed her head slightly, and there was encouragement, so he said loudly to everyone: "Do you remember that the younger brother is not talented, and he also runs a cloth village in the south of the city, but just a few months ago, under the malicious low price of the opponent, the small shop was unbearable and difficult to maintain, and it was closed. ”

"Buzhuang? Oh yes, I've been there. ”

"What does this have to do with us?"

"Later, by chance, I found out that the rival was related to Dongsheng Restaurant and Meiwei Zhai, which are still to be opened, and the most intriguing thing is that although the layout and decoration of these two restaurants are different, the expected opening time is quite consistent."

"So what?" The boss of Ming Ming Pavilion disagreed. "There are so many coincidences in this world, what can it say?"

Yue Shanhai smiled bitterly. "Before, two peer shops were opened around Buzhuang at the same time, and I didn't feel at ease because of the coincidence. But Qi Qiqi chose the location of those two shops is quite good, and I have tried to sell it down before, but it is an ancestral store, and I will not rent it out at all, let alone sell it. But when I asked later, the two shops were directly re-bought, and they opened at the same time. At that time, they also pushed the market to the cost price, not to mention my new store that had been open for less than a year, and even several time-honored brands that had been in business for more than 30 years could not survive and closed down. ”

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be in an uproar. In retrospect, it seems that the familiar ready-to-wear stores on the street did close quite a few overnight.

"That's why I want to ask the Nine Girls not to supply ingredients to these two restaurants, and at the same time, I have already sent a request to my business partners inside and outside the provincial capital to cut off their food routes first."

In this way, the opponent has to purchase from a distance, and once the cost of purchase increases, the price war will be more than enough.

"Is that possible?" Someone questioned.

If people are familiar with their own ways, how can others cut them off?

Lu Jiu'er waited for their discussion to gradually subside, and then calmly basked.

"Owners, I have a little idea, could you please hear it?"
