Chapter 135: Crisis in Chaos
At this moment, there was an uproar, and only someone could be heard shouting, "Something's wrong, there's an accident, there's poison in the dish!"
For a while, the people in the restaurant got up one after another, and you hugged me and squeezed, becoming very chaotic.
In the center of everyone's circle, several people were lying on the ground, foaming at the mouth, their faces were bruised, and they looked like they had been poisoned.
Xiao Er, who watched this scene, also became very nervous, and hurriedly went up to the second floor to find someone.
When Xiang Jiuling came down, the scene reached a very anxious point, and the customers were angry at her one by one, and they all wanted to ask for an explanation.
When Xiang Jiuling saw a few people on the ground, she couldn't help but chuckle in her heart, but she still forcibly suppressed the panic in her heart, and at this moment, she couldn't mess with herself.
"Everyone, please be quiet, no matter what happens, we will definitely give you an explanation."
"Confess, now that everyone has an accident, how can you explain?"
"yes, now that everyone has fallen to the ground, how are you going to explain? There are so many of us eating here, if something happens, will you give us our lives?"
Not everyone will give her face, after all, she is a newcomer to the capital, and it is understandable that they don't trust her, but it is precisely like this, something like this happens, which is a big blow to the reputation of the restaurant.
In the face of their questioning, Xiang Jiuling bit her lower lip, looked around for a week, and didn't see the person she wanted to see.
"Get out of the way!"
The sudden shouting made the crowd get out of the way, and several officials stepped forward to check the surrounding situation with serious expressions.
When he saw them, Xiang Jiuling's heart also sank, if the government intervened in this matter, it would only make the situation worse.
"What the hell is going on?"
A sword-wielding officer at the head stepped forward, and when he saw that the people lying down also had a change of expression, he strode over and asked, "What's going on?"
Without waiting for Xiang Jiuling to speak, the guests in the restaurant took the lead in opening their mouths, and everyone was sure that there was something wrong with the food in the restaurant.
"Who is the owner of the restaurant?"
"It's me, my lord."
Xiang Jiuling stepped forward stubbornly.
The man looked her up and down twice, and said, "This has happened to your restaurant, the restaurant can no longer serve customers from today, and you can't get out of it, now you need to go with us."
"My lord, I have already sent someone to ask for a doctor, could you please give me more time and let the doctor treat those guests before dealing with them?"
"No, let's go now, if you don't cooperate, don't blame us for being rude."
As he spoke, the official drew the knife in his hand.
In this situation, Xiang Jiuling has no way but to follow them.
This happened so fast that she didn't have time to think of a solution, and just as she was about to compromise, Dabao suddenly squeezed out of the crowd, followed by an old man.
"Mother, I brought the doctor."
"As I already said, finding a doctor can't change the fact that there is a problem with the food in your restaurant, you have to go with me."
The official's attitude was extremely cold and hard, anyway, today is to take Xiang Jiuling away.
Hearing this, Dabao's eyes rolled, as if he thought of something, and took out a token from his arms and put it in front of him.
The official's face changed instantly when he saw the token, and a hint of jealousy appeared in his eyes, and then he took a few steps back, and the blade was also withdrawn from its sheath.
Dabao immediately looked at Xiang Jiuling and said, "Mother, let the doctor take a look first."
Although he was a little curious about what the token he took out was, but now that this situation was, Xiang Jiuling didn't have time to investigate it, and asked the doctor to see the unconscious guest.
After the doctor gave the medicine, those people also woke up, and the explanation given by the doctor was that the dishes were in conflict, and the official did not seem to be forcibly holding the restaurant accountable at the beginning, but only took people away after a few words of warning.
And those guests saw that the officers and soldiers did not pursue it, and although they were confused, they also dispersed.
Such a thing happened, and the restaurant did not continue to operate, and after sending the remaining guests out, Xiang Jiuling ordered Xiao Er to close the door.
"Dabao, what was the token you just took?"
Xiang Jiuling still asked the doubts in his heart, this is not like Wen Xi's previous talisman, where did the big treasure come from?
"Is that what my mother said?"
Dabao took out the token again, handed it to her, and said with an innocent face: "I don't know, my father gave it, saying that it would be useful to meet someone in official uniform, so I tried it."
Xiang Jiuling asked a few more words, and saw that he really didn't know, so he put this aside in advance.
It was more important for her to figure out why this was happening, and she brought in the back kitchen and brought all the samples.
After some inspection, she didn't find any problems with the dishes, but one of them said something that caught her attention.
"You mean Mingyue went to the back kitchen today?"
She looked at the cook and frowned.
Dugu Mingyue, a woman who has always been weak, is either in the room or sticks to Wen Xi's side on weekdays, and suddenly goes to the kitchen, no matter how you look at it, there is a problem.
"Yes, boss."
The cook was a little nervous, and unconsciously wiped the sweat from his forehead, but still responded, "Miss Mingyue said that she wanted to make some soup and drink to replenish her body, but when she saw that we were very busy, she left again."
"Okay, I know, you guys go down, now that something like this has happened in our restaurant, let's take this opportunity to rest for a few days."...
After sending them away, Xiang Jiuling thought for a while and decided to go to Dugu Mingyue to confront them directly.
Just as she was about to go upstairs, the door of the restaurant was suddenly pushed open, and Wen Xi strode in, her eyes as if she was searching for something, and finally locked on her, and then walked towards her quickly.
Xiang Jiuling's footsteps paused, watching him walk in front of him step by step.
"How's it going, are you alright?"
The words of concern made Dexiang Jiuling feel a little sour inexplicably, but she still endured it and shook her head.
"It's fine."
"It's okay, I'll take care of the rest."
Xiang Jiuling didn't respond, just looked at him for a while before slowly speaking: "Actually, I already have some clues, I believe I will soon be able to find out who is behind the ghost."
"What clue?"
Wen Xi frowned!
"Do you believe me?"
"Of course I believe you."
Hearing his affirmative tone, Xiang Jiuling lowered her head and pondered for a moment before she told her own speculations just now, she was willing to give the person in front of her another chance.
