Chapter 8: The Kitchen Inn Gets Wronged!

"Honglu Temple investigates the case! Idlers wait for the speed to avoid! ”

In today's Caitian Inn, there are only a few tables of guests eating, and a few catchers from Honglu Temple suddenly arrived, directly blocking the front and back doors of the inn.

After these quick catches, the owner Shangguan Mao slowly entered the inn.

Gongsun Li hurriedly greeted him: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is ......"

Seeing that the catchers of Honglu Temple rushed into the Caitian Inn, a lot of people immediately gathered outside.

Shangguan Mao faced the spectators outside and said loudly: "Fellow villagers, some people have reported that the Yutian Inn is shoddy, and our brothers have been ordered to come to investigate. If the situation is true, it will be severely punished! But if this is not true, then it means that someone has framed it, and we will not tolerate it! ”

The head catcher gave an order: "Brothers, check for me!" ”

A few quick catchers seemed to be afraid that the food inn would destroy the evidence, and quickly rushed into the back kitchen, with clean movements.

Gongsun Li, Pei Baohu and others stood in the guest hall, a little flustered on the surface, but in fact, they were secretly happy in their hearts.

Although Honglu Temple will not find any real evidence, this matter will definitely spread, and further rumors that there is a problem with the Shitian Inn.

The catchers entered the back kitchen to search, and there were more and more onlookers outside, and they were talking one by one.

"Happy! This black shop has finally been investigated! ”

"That's it, I hope that the adults will be caught quickly and we will be given justice!"

"Wait and see, there must be something boring! This kind of black-hearted store should be seized! ”

Among the onlookers, many of them were excited, and obviously many of them deliberately came to bring the rhythm.

The head catcher at the head was unmoved and waited patiently.

Soon, the catchers returned to the guest hall one after another: "Report to your lord, the mutton, vegetables and other ingredients in the back kitchen are all fresh, and there are no problems." ”

The head catcher said: "Bring all the ingredients here, and let everyone be a witness together!" ”

In front of everyone's eyes, all the ingredients in the back kitchen of the Caitian Inn were moved over.

The people watching from the outside of the inn all stretched their necks to look inside, and saw that the clean and tidy wooden box was full of ice cubes, and there were large pieces of mutton, which were clean, hygienic and very fresh, and all kinds of vegetables had no signs of wilting at all, and there were water droplets on them, which was very fresh at first glance.

The key is that there is a lot of meat and vegetables, which can fully meet the needs of the restaurant inn for a day.

"This ......"

The onlookers were dumbfounded.

Honglu Temple launched a thunder operation, and everyone saw it, and it stands to reason that the Yutian Inn has no time to cheat.

If the restaurant is really shoddy, there will definitely be leftover inferior ingredients in the back kitchen.

But now, the ingredients found are all fresh, high-quality, and sufficient, everyone can see clearly, where are the rumored shoddy and inferior ingredients?

Gongsun Li and Yi Xing glanced at each other, and couldn't help but be happy.

Yes, everything has gone according to plan so far!

Honglu Temple came to the door and cleared the suspicion, but the previous rumors had already caused damage to the reputation of the Caitian Inn. Today's events may not be publicized, which means that it is impossible for the Yutian Inn to return to the previous grand occasion.

However, at this moment, the owner of the shop, Shangguan Mao, waved his hand: "Come on, bring the people who spread rumors!" ”

The two arresters quickly took the order, went directly to the outside of the inn, and brought up a person who was not good-looking.

"Spare your life, spare your life! The villain is also obsessed with money for a while, and he is instructed by others, so he does this kind of thing......"

This person was obviously arrested early in the morning by the Honglu Temple, and at this time he knew very well that his situation was not good, and he kowtowed vigorously.

Shangguan Mao said in a deep voice: "Who instructed you to spread rumors? In front of all the fathers and fellow villagers, say it! ”

The rumor-monger trembled and said: "The little and the little man was instructed by the people in the black market at first, but the source is unknown, and later, when the gang found the villain for the second time, the villain found out that it turned out to be ...... It's ......"

Shangguan Mao's face sank, and he said loudly: "Who is it, tell me the truth!" If you don't say it, you'll be guilty of another sin of cover-up! ”

The rumor-monger hurriedly kowtowed: "The villain doesn't dare!" The second time I found the villain, it was a running hall in Taiping Restaurant! ”

"Although the villain doesn't know why he wants to find the villain for the second time, the villain is willing to confront him face to face!"

Gongsun Li's eyes widened, as if he had been hit on the spot by a thunderbolt from a sunny day.

Finished! Something happened!

She looked at Yi Xing and found that Yi Xing also had a shocked and sad expression.

I thought that Shangguan Mao would come over with the arrest of Honglu Temple and check the back kitchen, but I never expected that Shangguan Mao would arrest the rumor-monger, and the rumor-monger happened to be instructed by the people of Taiping Restaurant!

The first rumor was that Pei Baohu bought it through the underground black market. Although people in the underground black market charge very expensive, they are careful, so it is difficult to find the source.

But the bad thing is that the rumors spread wildly in the Taiping Restaurant, and it also moved the mind of falling into the well.

Most of the shopkeepers of Taiping Restaurant thought that the price of the underground black market was too expensive, or they might not be able to find someone to match, so they sent their subordinates to run the hall to do this thing, so as not to let the middlemen make the difference.

As a result, I never expected that Shangguan Mao had been staring at this matter for a long time, and he came directly to touch the melon!

Shangguan Mao had an expression of "just as the official expected", and said in a deep voice: "Go to Taiping Restaurant!" Confront that running hall face to face! ”

The catchers of Honglu Temple escorted Shangguan Mao, escorted the rumor-mongers, and went to the Taiping Restaurant in a mighty manner.

The crowd of onlookers at the inn's entrance quickly moved out of the way, and followed.

Everyone knows that there is a big excitement to watch!

Seeing that everyone in the inn was gone, the three members of Yaotian's team hurriedly gathered together and urgently discussed countermeasures.

Gongsun Li was a little dumbfounded: "What should I do about this situation now?" ”

Pei Baohu shook his head: "How do I know, isn't this a plan you set!" ”

Gongsun Li said a little anxiously: "The Taiping Inn is too stupid, how can you let others do this?" Is it hard to go to the underground black market and find someone? ”

Yi Xing pondered for a moment and said calmly: "Don't panic yet, the matter has not reached the point of no return." ”

"This restaurant shopkeeper is not so stupid, and he still keeps the running hall in his own restaurant, right? As long as you secretly hide this runaway, there is no proof of anything......"

As a result, before he finished speaking, he heard a cry like a pig outside: "Shopkeeper!" I'm doing what you command, can't you leave me alone! ”

An angry voice said, "Nonsense! When did I tell you to do such a thing! Hugh will slander me! ”

Yi Xing: "......"

When everyone came to the street, they saw the onlookers at the entrance of the Taiping Restaurant surrounded the inner three floors and the outer three floors, and the running hall of the Taiping Restaurant was kneeling on the ground desperately trying to hug the thigh of the shopkeeper of the Taiping Restaurant, but the shopkeeper was so angry that he kicked him away.

The three members of Yaotian's team looked at each other.

Obviously, the IQ of the restaurant shopkeeper is still overestimated......

But it's normal to think about it, Yaotian's team has been carrying out secret missions in Chang'an City, and it is normal to know people in the black market and do things cleanly, and the shopkeeper of this restaurant has never done these things, so it is inevitable that he will be caught by someone who is rough and exposed.

It's just that in this way, the consequences have become unimaginable!

Another catcher stepped forward and said: "Lord Qiyu, I found some inferior ingredients in the back kitchen of Taiping Restaurant, and I suspect that they were secretly thrown into the alley behind the Caitian Inn late at night to frame them!" ”

The head catcher at the head of the leader looked serious: "People have stolen goods, what else do you have to say?" Come on, take down the shopkeeper of the Taiping Restaurant and the running hall together, and send it to Honglu Temple for interrogation! ”

Shangguan Mao said: "This case has been solved, and the owner of this workshop should post a notice to wash away the grievances of the Yantian Inn. It is really unreasonable that such a conscientious inn should attract such malicious slander! If you can't return the food inn to a fair one, what kind of face does the owner have to face the people! ”

Seeing that the catchers stepped forward to arrest him, the shopkeeper of Taiping Restaurant also panicked, and suddenly knelt on the ground: "My lord, wronged, wronged!" ”

"The villain did spend some money to spread rumors, but ...... But this rumor was not originally fabricated by the villain! The villain saw that the rumors had spread, so he was fascinated and wanted to add another fire......"

"And those inferior ingredients in the back alley of the original Caitian Inn were not thrown by the villain, but by someone else! The villain is wronged! ”

Shangguan Mao snorted coldly: "Hmph, the evidence is like a mountain, and you dare to quibble?" ”

"After the Yantian Inn became popular, the business of your Taiping Restaurant plummeted, and naturally your eyes were red, and you were already punished for maliciously reducing prices a few days ago, but I didn't expect you to still not repent, but intensified, and even made such a thing as rumors and slanders, which is simply intolerable!"

"Even now, he is still unwilling to confess his sins! Then you say, besides you, who else wants to kill the Heavenly Inn? ”

"In short, this rumor was bought by the people of the Yutian Inn themselves, and the garbage in the back alley was also thrown by the Yutian Inn itself, right?"

"What's more, there is also a part of this rumor boasting about the Taiping Restaurant, you are the biggest beneficiary, who else can do this besides you?"

The shopkeeper of Taiping Restaurant was stunned for a moment, and then choked speechlessly.

Yes, except for his own Taiping Restaurant, which is hostile to the Yantian Inn because of its plummeting business, other people can't afford to spend money to spread rumors about the Yantian Inn?

But the question is...... The original rumors really weren't spread by them!

The shopkeeper of Taiping Restaurant was overjoyed before, so he didn't think about it at all, but now he thinks about it carefully, this thing is indeed very bizarre!

Who did the original rumors?

But he didn't have time to continue thinking, because the catchers of Honglu Temple had already swarmed up, locked him up with the running hall, and prepared to be sent to Honglu Temple for interrogation and conviction.

The shopkeeper of the Taiping Restaurant was in tears, shouting that he was wronged, and was dragged away.

"My lord Mingjian, this rumor really wasn't spread by us in the first place!"

"The villain is wronged! There is someone else behind it! ”

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency!"

The shopkeeper's voice gradually faded away, and Shangguan Mao waved his robe sleeves: "Hmph, people have obtained stolen goods, and they are still quibbling, and the crime is added to the first degree!" ”

"Such a stubborn person, even if he doesn't see the coffin, he doesn't cry, and most of them won't confess truthfully if he doesn't get a big punishment."

He turned to the three members of Yaotian's team: "Don't worry, this official will definitely give you justice at the Yutian Inn!" Wash away your grievances! ”

The people of Yaotian's team were simply miserable.

Lord Shangguan, what grievances have you cleared for us?

That's what we did!

The shopkeeper of Taiping Restaurant really didn't lie, he really wasn't the mastermind behind the scenes......

It can be said that this matter cannot be admitted, and the shopkeeper of Taiping Restaurant can only be this backbiter!

Of course, spreading rumors and causing trouble is not a serious crime, at most, he will be tried in Honglu Temple for a few days, and then fined some money. With the financial resources of Taiping Restaurant, this money is nothing.

But the problem is that this matter is bound to spread quickly, dealing a fatal blow to the reputation of Taiping Restaurant!

Not only that, Shangguan Mao also posted notices nearby to wash away grievances for the Caitian Inn......

It's over, it's all over!

The crowd that had watched the excitement before had already dispersed, but most of them were running towards the Yutian Inn.

"The truth is revealed! It turns out that the use of inferior ingredients in the Yitian Inn is a non-existent thing, and this group of rumors is really hateful! Damn it! ”

"In the future, I will only come to the Yutian Inn to eat, and I will never go to the Taiping Restaurant again!"

"Shopkeeper, hurry, it's a great joy to get the snow in grievances, give me a bowl of mutton in a basin of water!"

The three members of Yaotian's team looked at each other, and in the end, they had to sigh and go to work.

……

Two days later, late at night.

"We can't go on like this!"

Gongsun Li held his forehead with his hand, and his face was loveless: "Yaotian's team still has a task to do, we can't forget it!" ”

Pei Baohu stiffened his neck, although he was a little weak-hearted, he still pretended to be justified and said, "I have never forgotten it......"

Gongsun Li looked at him: "Tiger, you have been running very diligently recently, and you have secretly run to the counter to count how much money you have made today, this is obviously making too much money, and you are a little carried away!" ”

Pei Baohu opened his mouth to refute, but he couldn't find a reason to refute, so he had to lower his head in shame.

Gongsun Li looked at Yi Xing again: "There is also Yi Xing, who has been addicted to chess recently and can't extricate himself......"

Yi Xing was silent for a moment and said: "In the past two days, there have been two masters in the chess club, and we have a good conversation, although their chess skills are not very high, but they have made me have some new thoughts about chess......

Gongsun Li was very helpless: "So, we must not continue like this!" This mission has dragged on for too long, and the further it is delayed, the slimmer the hope of completing the mission becomes, and if the mission really fails, the prestige of Yaotian's team will be ruined! ”

Yi Xing nodded: "Well, if the mission fails, the master will definitely be very angry." ”

Pei Baohu also cheered up: "Don't say anything, I'm fully prepared, and the money is almost enough, oh no, I mean, the time is almost up...... But do we have to remake a plan? ”

Seeing that everyone reached a consensus again, Gongsun Li was also very relieved, and said: "I found that Yu Hengsi's movements in this area have become more and more frequent recently, most likely because they have found some clues. ”

"That mysterious mechanic should still be hidden in this area, Yu Hengsi can't wait, and he should start an arrest operation in the near future."

"It's an opportunity for us."

Yi Xing agreed: "Indeed. ”

His fingers tapped lightly on the table, as if playing against someone, and quickly thought about countermeasures: "Although the days of opening the inn have consumed a lot of our time and energy, but on the best terms, it has almost completely dispelled Yu Hengsi's suspicion of us. ”

"Our original plan was to stalk and find clues to the mysterious mechanic, but now this plan is no longer working. But it is precisely because of this that we can make a new plan. ”

"Yu Hengsi has been watching for so long, and he hasn't found any clues about the mysterious mechanic, since they are vigorously mobilizing manpower and are not afraid of startling the grass and snakes, they must have made all the preparations, to carry out a carpet investigation and search in this area, and dig three feet into the ground to find out the mechanic."

"And we rely on the Yutian Inn to dispel Yu Hengsi's suspicions, and it will be much more convenient to act, so we can find a way to fish in troubled waters and benefit the fisherman when Yu Hengsi searches and conflicts with that mysterious mechanic......

"After meditating for the past few days, I have figured out a truth: this organ master has always been a cunning rabbit, and he will definitely not be ignorant of Yu Hengsi's investigation, and must have found a way out."

"And as long as we can find his way back in advance, we can catch up with Yu Hengsi and get ahead of him!"

"Starting tomorrow, we're going to put up a notice to suspend the inn, and then we'll work together to find a way out for this mysterious mechanic......"

The three of them reached out and folded them together, each with a determined expression on their faces.

……

Early the next morning, in the alley behind the Yatian Inn.

The three of them are ready to go.

A notice board had been hung at the door of the inn last night, saying that the shopkeeper had something to do and was temporarily closed. As for the specific number of days to be suspended, there is no elaboration, and some space is reserved.

In this way, if you have a few more days or a few days, you will not be targeted by Yu Hengsi.

The trio were still dressed in their usual clothes, mainly to keep them unobtrusive.

"Everyone's mission is clear, right? We need to find out the situation in this area as soon as possible, so that we can carry out follow-up actions. ”

"Tiger, especially you, must be careful not to attract Yu Hengsi's attention, understand?"

Gongsun Li was a little uneasy.

Pei Baohu said a little impatiently: "Okay, okay, I understand!" It's impossible for me to make the same mistake twice, so don't worry! ”

Yi Xing snorted, expressing disbelief in this.

Pei Baohu was just about to theorize, but was interrupted by Gongsun Li: "Okay, then we will act separately when we get outside, go!" ”

The crowd walked briskly towards the outside of the alley.

However, as soon as I walked out of the alley, I heard someone ask coldly, "Where are you going?" ”

Hearing this voice, Pei Baohu couldn't help but "chuckle", and the hairs on his body stood up.

This voice is too familiar to him, Li Lin of Yu Hengsi!

The three of them turned their heads to look and found that Li Lin was patrolling nearby with a team of Yu Hengsi's catchers, looking at them with unkind expressions.

"This ......"

The three members of Yaotian's team froze together.

Unexpectedly, he just ambitiously wanted to leave the inn to do a career, investigate the nearby situation, and complete the task, but as soon as he went out, he collided head-on with Yu Hengsi's people!

This is unlucky!

After opening the store for so many days, I didn't see Li Lin wandering around the inn again, and everyone thought that Li Lin had completely dispelled the surveillance and suspicion of this area.

Now it seems that I don't know if they are too lucky, or if Li Lin has been secretly monitoring here!

The three people of the inn went out together and went out of the nest, which was indeed a bit unreasonable.

Procurement? Visit? Redeem money? No matter what you do, you don't need three people together!

Seeing that Li Lin's eyes began to gradually reveal a strong suspicion, Gongsun Li was in a hurry and said, "My lord, we ...... The three of us are going out on an expedition! Learn from the advanced experience of other restaurants and continue to improve the business level of Yitian Inn! ”
