At this time, it was the beginning of the lanterns, the guests in Wanfu Building were full, the cups were staggered, and there was an endless stream of diners, Xia Hong, as the chef of Wanfu Building, was naturally very busy.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk ......"

The continuous sound of splitting cases fell like a torrential rain, lingering in this small kitchen, sounding quite a subtle sense of rhythm, and then looking at Xia Hong's hand, more than a dozen palm-sized potatoes have become a large pot of filaments of the same length and thickness in less than half a column of incense.

Not to mention this knife work in this small White Horse Town, even if you look at the entire Xiangshui County, it can be regarded as second to none!

After the ingredients were prepared, the oil in the pot was already hot, Xia Hong turned the iron spoon in his hand lightly, and like a butterfly wearing flowers, he took various spices such as chili, ginger, garlic and put them in the pot, and immediately made the hot oil boil loudly.

"Zila......"

In less than a moment or three, six plates of spicy fried shredded potatoes were all out of the pot, and the rich aroma couldn't help but make the apprentices drool.

It is said that cooking skills, the simpler the dishes, the more they can reflect the level of a chef, if from this point of view, Xia Hong already has a kind of demeanor.

However, before Xia Hong could show his skills and prepare the next dish, he saw a young man from a restaurant hurriedly run into the back kitchen and said to Xia Hong: "Uncle Xia, the shopkeeper told you to go to the backyard." ”

Xia Hong was stunned for a moment, and suddenly subconsciously frowned, this is the time for dinner, and it is also the busiest time of the day in the restaurant, what did the shopkeeper call him to do at this time?

Doesn't that add to the chaos!

However, dissatisfied to dissatisfied, Xia Hong didn't dare to snub the shopkeeper of Wanfulou, immediately wiped his hands, picked up the kitchen knife on the board, and paced out.

But what Xia Hong didn't expect was that when he walked into the backyard, instead of seeing the big shopkeeper of Wanfulou, he was surrounded by a group of people of unknown origin!

Seeing this, Xia Hong couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly, and at a glance, he quickly recognized that these people were not wearing civilian uniforms, but the standard military uniforms of the White Horse Town Garrison.

So Xia Hong didn't dare to move, but secretly tightened his grip on the kitchen knife that had been fighting with him for many years.

"What are you going to do?"

"What are you doing? Don't you know what kind of crime your son has committed?" A gloomy voice followed, and when he turned his head, Xiao Yong was limping towards Xia Hong with a cane.

Xia Hong didn't know what was going on, but when he heard Xiao Yong say this, he couldn't help but tremble slightly, and said: "Ah Sheng, my Ah Sheng has always been obedient and sensible, and he never dared to do anything hurtful to the heavens and reason, Xiao Gongzi didn't misunderstand, right?"

Xiao Yong sneered, raised a jade pendant in his hand, and said, "Misunderstanding? What do you think this is?"

Xia Hong's eyes widened and he tried to identify it, but he couldn't see any name, so he could only say truthfully: "Young Master Xiao, I don't understand." ”

"Okay!" Xiao Yong walked up to Xia Hong and said viciously: "Since you don't understand, then Ben Gongzi will tell you that this is my Xiao family's ancestral autumn mountain pendant, although it is not worth a thousand gold, but it is also extremely precious, but today it was searched from your room, what else do you have to say?"

Xia Hong's face tightened, but he still refused to believe that his son would steal, and immediately explained in a low voice: "Xiao Gongzi, Ah Sheng is only a sixteen-year-old child, how can he have the ability to sneak into your house and steal this jade pendant? I think there must be something wrong in this matter!"

Xiao Yong smiled coldly, pointed to the bandages on his feet, and said: "He doesn't have that ability, but he has the ability to seriously injure Ben Gongzi on the street! This pendant was originally something I wore closely, and it must have been taken by him at that time!"

As early as when Xiao Yong first appeared, Xia Hong noticed the injury on the other party's foot, but he never thought that it was actually injured by Xia Sheng?

However, his own son is obviously just an ordinary person who doesn't know how to practice, and this eldest son of the Xiao family is known as a genius, and he has already broken through the warrior realm, who in the town doesn't know?

Thinking of this, Xia Hong had even more doubts in his heart, and just wanted to open his mouth to defend a few words, but saw the mayor of White Horse Town, Xiao Zhen, also walking over from not far away.

And behind him, there was a middle-aged man who nodded and bowed, it was the big shopkeeper of this Wanfu Building, Wang Yuanshan!

Xiao Zhen walked up to Xia Hong, but he didn't look at him directly, but said to Wang Yuanshan with a majestic face: "Shopkeeper Wang, your Wanfulou is too disrespectful! Why do you use it for everyone? With such a thief with unclean hands and feet in the back kitchen, who will dare to come to your restaurant to eat in the future?"

Wang Yuanshan's head was drenched in cold sweat, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

In good conscience, he still has some friendship with Xia Hong, if it weren't for Xia Hong's miraculous cooking skills, presumably this Wanfulou would not have such a good business, if it was placed at other times, he would definitely have to say a few fair words for Xia Hong.

But now he's facing the mayor of Whitehorse!

offending Xia Hong is nothing more than having to find a new chef, but offending Xiao Zhen may make his Wanfu Building directly unable to open!

Which is more important, Wang Yuanshan can see it very clearly. But he still couldn't bear to fall into the trap for Xia Hong, so he had to deliberately keep a straight face and say: "Lao Xia, Lao Xia! Look what kind of son you have taught! Not only did he dare to beat Xiao Gongzi in the street, but he also stole the jade ornaments that Xiao Gongzi was wearing, this is a big disaster!"

Hearing Wang Yuanshan's words that seemed to be scolding, but were actually defending, Xiao Zhen immediately snorted coldly.

"Shopkeeper Wang! What you said is not right! As the saying goes, the son is not the fault of his father, Xia Sheng is only a sixteen-year-old boy, and he committed such a crime, it cannot be said that his father instigated it! What's more, even if the theft has nothing to do with Xia Hong, not reporting it and harboring stolen goods is even more of a crime!"

After speaking, Xiao Zhen beckoned lightly: "Come on, tie this Xia Hong back to me and interrogate it carefully!"

After receiving the order, all the soldiers of the garrison immediately stepped forward, holding the thumb-thick iron chain that had been prepared long ago, and the wooden flail for the most evil people, if Xia Hong was escorted out of the street like this, even if he was not guilty, he would be considered a heinous murderer!

Xiao Zhen is worthy of being the mayor of White Horse Town, and this hand is so insidious!

Xia Hong saw through the other party's sinister intentions at a glance, and even saw the true meaning of today's government soldiers' so-called arrest of "thieves".

If you want to add sin, there is no excuse!

He subconsciously raised the kitchen knife in his hand and took half a step back, but his face looked a little hesitant.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhen immediately shouted: "Xia Hong! Do you still want to arrest and rebel! Put down the knife for me!"

Before the words fell, a deep orange light had risen outside Xiao Zhen's body, and a sharp sword-shaped symbol floated out from his wrist, even though Xiao Zhen had no sword in his hand at this time, but the strong sword intent oppressed Xia Hong breathlessly.

Xia Hong's eyes had narrowed into a line, and the corners of his eyebrows rose slightly because of strong anger, once upon a time, as long as he had a knife in his hand, who would dare to use such despicable means to bully and humiliate him?

But now it's different from the past, now he has become a waste, with a kitchen knife alone, he may be able to repel more than a dozen government soldiers, but he is definitely not Xiao Zhen's opponent!

Even if he really broke out from here, what should Xia Sheng do?

After a while, Xia Hong took a deep breath, then bowed his waist, and put the kitchen knife in his hand on the ground a little lonely, with a self-deprecating sour feeling on the corner of his mouth.

It's really a tiger falling in Pingyang and being bullied by dogs!

However, the Xiao family's humiliation of Xia Hong did not end because of this.

Seeing that Xia Hong put down the knife, Xiao Yong's face looked even more proud, he walked in front of Xia Hong with a limp on crutches, and said with a cruel smile: "I knew today, why bother in the first place?"

As he spoke, Xiao Yong held the crutches with one hand, raised the other high, and gave Xia Hong a resounding slap with his backhand!

"Smack!"

Xia Hong is just an ordinary person now, how can he withstand the strength of a dignified warrior? When he stumbled, he fell to the ground miserably, and a touch of blush quietly flowed out of the corner of his mouth.

"This time, it's for your son, don't worry, when he comes back, I will treat him well!"

After speaking, Xiao Yong seemed to be still angry, and wanted to go up to make up for his two feet, but he heard Xiao Zhen say: "Okay!

Hearing this, the garrison soldiers who had been waiting around immediately rushed up, pressing Xia Hong to his knees fiercely, the chains of the locks, the shackles of the shackles, the shackles of the shackles, when they were chasing the Xiangshui thieves in the past, they had never seen them so diligent.

Xiao Yong's eyes were full of viciousness, and he chuckled: "It's just a restaurant cook, if I don't obey your father and son today, I will ...... in vain."

Before Xiao Yong finished speaking, he saw a gust of wind coming from outside the courtyard, and a bright orange light smashed into his chest, blocking the second half of his sentence.

"Bang!"

With a muffled sound, Xiao Yong flew out like a broken sack for more than ten feet, slammed heavily on the courtyard wall, and immediately blasted the courtyard wall out of a one-person-high gap.

"Who...... Ahh

A soldier with an iron chain let out a scream like killing a pig, and a stream of hot blood sprayed out from in front of him, and then looked at his arms, which were gone.

The sudden change shocked everyone, including Xiao Zhen, who stopped what they were doing and looked at the person with a panicked face.

Xia Sheng's eyes were very calm, and there was no anger on his face, but only those who were most familiar with him knew that Xia Sheng at this time was the most terrifying devil!

As soon as he raised his hand slightly, the kitchen knife that had followed Xia Hong for most of his life fell into his palm.

The blade pointed directly at Xiao Zhen who was three feet away.

"From today onwards, the Xiao family will be gone. ”
