Just now the officials came to the store and took away the account room from the store. The diners waiting outside the door could see clearly, and they were talking about it. At this time, I heard that the little boss was going to close the store. , The flames of gossip could not be resisted.
Someone who was cheeky and curious, just in front of Chen Xing who was about to close the door, directly asked the doubts in his heart, "Little boss, why was the accountant in your shop taken away by the official?"
Chen Xing paused at the door and smiled at the guest who asked the question. He said generously: "I have some misunderstandings. Master official asked him to go over and ask, and he will be back soon."
.Seeing Chen Xingluoluo's generous appearance, these people who want to gossip have less than half of their ridiculous thoughts in their hearts, and even vaguely believe that things are like what the little boss said. The official just invited here. The accountant went to ask questions, not what was wrong with the shop, so he was taken to the yamen.
Seeing that the situation was under control, Chen Xing said a few more words to them. When he said that he would reopen the store, he would notify him in advance, and then he closed the store door directly, ignoring the rumors outside.
When the store door was closed, Chen Xing leaned against the door panel and exhaled a long breath. Then, thinking of Gu Lang who was taken away, his lips curled into a straight line, and then he walked to the back kitchen. He needs to find out the poisonous thing as soon as possible to know where the problem is.
.When Chen Xing came to the kitchen, the contents had been turned over in a mess, it looked like a bunch of twine ropes, and there was no clear thread at all.
Chen Xing rubbed the faintly painful forehead, watched this messy scene, and quickly said: "Everyone, this is too messy. Let's move things to the backyard to sort them, and then check them one by one. The problem, that's okay, you can recognize it at a glance."
After hearing Chen Xing’s words, the people who were playing like a headless fly looked at each other. Then, according to his words, they began to move all the edible things in the kitchen to the yard, waiting to be inspected one by one. .
While Chen Xing and the others were intensively searching for the poison in their shop, in a corner of an alley not far from the entrance of their shop, a wretched man stood.
.The man stared at the door of the Chen’s small restaurant, watching the officer come and take a man from here, watching the crowd that had originally gathered there gradually disperse, after confirming that the restaurant would not open again, he turned around. Leaving this dark corner, walked towards the residential area in the distance.
On the other side, Gu Lang followed the group of officials all the way to the Yamen, acting extraordinarily leisurely and not nervous at all along the way.
As a result, the officials next to him in charge of escorting him were a bit guilty, and finally when they were about to reach the gate, they couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you afraid?"
Gu Lang turned his head to look at him when he heard the words. There was a bit of doubt in those dark eyes, which seemed to be questioning why he asked such a question.
.The officer was stared a little bit stunned by that look, but when he thought that his question had not been answered, he still felt a little unwilling. The people mentioned that the Yamen were not trembling, fearful and uneasy, but the person in front of him was not only half-pointed. The meaning of fear does not seem to take their yamen seriously.
So he was unwilling to accept the official position, and asked the question again.
This time, Gu Lang didn't ignore his question anymore, but looked at him lightly and said, "I have never done anything that hurts the world, and I don't feel guilty. If that's the case, why should I be afraid."
The officials were speechless by him, but after thinking about it, this was the truth. As a result, when he entered the Yamen, when he looked at Gu Lang, who took the lead and did not fear at all, his expression was no longer a bit turbulent.
.When Gu Lang walked into the Yamen, he saw the magistrate of the county sitting above the lobby, Master Xu next to him, and the Yamen Yamen standing on both sides. He stepped forward and bowed slightly to the person above, which was regarded as a salute.
The county grandfather looked at his movements, but he seemed to be taken aback, and said with a bit of anxiety on his face: "Why do you need to be like this, get up quickly."
Gu Lang took the opportunity to raise his head and looked at the uneasy county grandfather above, his voice calm, with a somewhat irresistible scent: "The grass people came here like this because our shop was slandered and said that this shop was harmful. Cao Min is bold, can Cao Min see the corpse of the deceased and the family of the victim."
"This." Rao is the county grandfather vaguely guessing the origin of the person in front of him. He frowned when he heard his request, and his face was a little bit difficult.
.Seeing him hesitating, but not in a hurry to deny Gu Lang, he lowered his eyelashes lightly, and continued: "How can we convict our restaurant only by relying on the words of that family member? If I can see that family member, When confronted with confrontation, wouldn’t it be easier for the truth to come to light.”
When Master Xu heard what he said, he looked at the county grandfather above with some hesitation, and saw the county grandfather patted the table, righteously replied: "You are right, so it should be."
Master Xu silently closed his mouth.
When they came to the side room of the Yamen and saw the corpse parked there and the family members who kept crying beside the corpse, everyone in the government showed a look of unbearable expression, only Gu Lang's expression was absent from the beginning. Changed.
.Gu Lang first took a look at the situation in the room, and then at the family of the victim who was crying as if to faint. Finally, he looked at the corpse lying on the ground, and then walked up without hesitation. Going forward, he tore off the white cloth covering the corpse.
Under the white cloth is a corpse that has changed a bit. The appearance at this time is not good-looking, and even because of Gu Lang's actions, the smell that originally enveloped it was radiated, and everyone present was smug enough.
Everyone covered their noses one after another and retched. Only Gu Lang stood there without changing his face, as if he could smell nothing or see anything.
"What are you doing?! Do you want him to die?" A sharp female voice sounded, breaking the still calm atmosphere present.
.Gu Lang turned his head and looked at the woman. She seemed to be in her early thirties, about the same age as the lying man, and it should be a husband-and-wife relationship. He had a judgment in his heart but did not say anything. Instead, he confirmed it again, "What is your relationship with this man?"
The woman looked very angry, but facing the frosty man in front of her and the many officials standing at the door, she didn't dare to be presumptuous at will. She could only endure the anger in her heart and replied: "He is my husband. "
Gu Lang looked at the man on the ground, his cheeks were fleshless, his face was yellowish and thin, and he looked unhealthy when he was alive, and continued: "How did your man die?"
.The anger on the woman's face was stunned by his words, and then she looked in the direction of the man, with a bit of alertness on her face, as if she was speaking to herself, and as if speaking to others, she said loudly: " He was poisoned to death by that Chen's small restaurant!"
After observing the corpse on the ground, Gu Lang had some judgment in his heart. Then he looked at the standing woman and said with a smile but a smile: "Oh, are you? Are you really sure that your husband was poisoned to death, not sick." And die?"
The woman trembled in her heart, looking at the man in front of him who did not look like an ordinary person, but did not wear a government office, a little guilty conscience appeared on his face, and then it seemed to be thinking of something, and suddenly she sat on the ground and started crying. Yelled loudly:
"The master, have you seen it! My life is so miserable! You left us orphans and widows like this and left, how can we live in the future!.Let us be here to say that every day should not be called the earth is not working, even Master Qingtian is not upholding justice for us. Why are we still alive! I can't even ask you for justice! They are bullying our orphans and widows! "
The woman's voice is quite loud, and there is also a posture that seems to be breaking the sky, and the crowd around onlookers is also embarrassed at this time.
In the end, the county grandfather gave Master Xu a wink, and Master Xu walked to the woman with a wrinkle and said with a cold face: "If you are wronged, we will redress it for you. This is a powerful place for yamen. It’s not a busy street, and it doesn’t allow you to wander around here."
Master Xu's words were sonorous and forceful, so that the woman who was already a little guilty of conscience gradually put away the sassy posture, looked at him with a little fear and said: "Yes, Master, I know."
.And Gu Lang, who was watching all the time, saw everyone's emotions calm down, and then stood up and looked at the woman: "Madam, how your husband died, the yamen will naturally give you justice. It's just that. If you wronged other people, I'm afraid this matter won't end so easily."
The woman looked at the handsome man in front of her, and only felt that those cold eyes seemed to see through everything about her, causing her to tremble, and she couldn't help feeling a little bad premonition in her heart. She wanted to say something, wanted to save something, when she saw that the man had turned to look at the grandfather of the county and the others, and said something that made her fearful.
"My lord, please give me a job and get a live chicken. I can prove why this man didn't die of poisoning, and why this woman dared to say that he died of poisoning."
.As soon as the man's voice fell, the eyes of the surrounding people looked at him, and the eyes of the woman were the strongest.
After the woman was slightly stunned, she seemed to react suddenly, rushing towards Gu Lang, in a posture that she wanted to roll around, "You fart, my man died of poisoning, or he was poisoned by that restaurant. He was poisoned to death! He was poisoned to death!!"
Seeing that woman was going to fight, the officials around her quickly stopped her, and even got scratched her face during the pulling.
Gu Lang looked at the increasingly crazy woman, sneered softly, turned to the county grandfather next to him, and said faintly: "The county grandfather, please invite someone!"
The county grandfather seemed to have recovered, he nodded quickly, then looked at the woman who was fighting with the officials, and whispered: "Enough!.If you have a grievance, even if you don’t want it, the officer will find out the grievance for you. If you are fooling around here now, I will put you in jail and ask you to reflect enough before you come out. "
Seeing the grandfather of the county became angry, the woman finally stopped her sloppy movements, and looked at the officer who was going to ask for a job, and gradually a guilty conscience appeared on her face.
Gu Lang watched the woman's performance, and slowly curled the corners of his lips, making it seem that the handsome face was a little bit cold.
Chen Xing and the others had been busy all morning, and finally found out the poisonous thing, which turned out to be their new dried seafood in recent days.
.Looking at this with some fresh dried seafood, Chen Xing tightened his lips tightly, and he looked like he was in a bad mood. The shop assistants next to him looked at Chen Xing's appearance and asked cautiously. Said: "Little boss, now that this thing is found, what should we do next?"
Chen Xing was silent for a moment, and then whispered: "Wait for Qiushi and the others to come back, listen to what they found out, and then see if you want to take this thing to the grocery store and confront it. If you destroy it now, I'm afraid it will Realize the population."
Hearing Chen Xing's words, the people next to him couldn't help but a little admiration. The current situation was replaced by them, and they would definitely destroy things directly. There would be no evidence for this, and there would still be so many thoughts there.
