I brought five birds to eat and drink with my girlfriends in ancient times

"Miss, this is not the best restaurant in South Vietnam, but it is the most distinctive restaurant in South Vietnam."

"Oh? Special features? Then go in and take a look, then have a meal."

The woman was about fifteen or sixteen years old, bright and beautiful, and looked like someone who was either rich or noble.

And with so many guards around him, he is definitely not an ordinary person.

In front of the door of Lanyue Pavilion, there was a wooden stretcher on the ground, and on the stretcher lay a dying man, who was so thin that he looked like a skeleton.

An old woman was kneeling next to the man, crying. Whenever someone entered the Lanyue Pavilion, she would pull their clothes and say that her husband had been poisoned after eating in this restaurant.

Now he only has half his life, but the shopkeeper doesn't care at all, disregarding the lives of the people and only caring about making money.

Every time she persuaded someone to leave, the old woman would secretly smile. The woman said that if she could persuade most of the people to leave today, she would get thirty taels of silver.

She couldn't persuade people to leave, but she could make them afraid to go in, and she could get twenty taels. If she could make Lanyue Pavilion pay compensation, all the money would belong to her.

Such a good job is rare to come by in a century, so she must work hard.

"Miss, please don't go into this restaurant. The food here is poisonous. My husband ate something from this restaurant and is dying now.

The shopkeeper still refuses to admit it and tries to shirk responsibility." The old woman grabbed the woman's skirt and said.

"My lady, there is no food poisoning in our restaurant. We have hired a doctor, but this old woman refused to let the doctor see the patient.

As long as we compensate her, she can go back and see a doctor on her own. There are free doctors, so why does she have to go back and see a doctor on her own? Isn't this very suspicious?"

Chunfen was furious. This was the first time in all these years that he had encountered such a persistent person.

The woman pulled back her skirt in annoyance, and the guard beside her kicked the old woman away.

"How can you lowly people touch our young lady's dress? Get out of here! We can tell whether it is poisonous or not at a glance. Why do you need to tell us?"

"Well, you know whether your husband is poisoned or not, so don't spoil my fun. Otherwise, I'll show you why flowers are red."

The woman had a smile on her face, but the words she spoke were cold.

The old woman just got up, but fell to the ground again in fright. She couldn't afford to offend this man, so she decided to stop him.

It turns out that money is not so easy to make. You may offend the wrong person and lose your life at any time.

If she hadn't heard that this restaurant was just opened by an ordinary wealthy businessman and there was no need to worry about offending any important people, she would not have dared to take this job.

It would be best if we could get some money from both sides. The same goes for Lanyue Pavilion. If she had paid the money earlier, she would have left earlier.

"This sister is right. Your husband and I, a child, don't think he is poisoned, but sick. Is there a doctor among the crowd? Can you help check this old lady?"

Shangguan Yue smiled slightly and looked at Doctor Zhang in the crowd.

Doctor Zhang looked at Doctor Lian beside him, and they both snorted at the same time. They were both famous doctors, but they were both dragged here to act together.

"I'm Doctor Zhang from He'antang. I'll come and see him."

"I'm Doctor Lian from the Hefeng Pharmacy. I can also check on him."

After they finished talking, they walked towards the old man on the ground at the same time.

The old woman hurriedly stopped him.

"I am the boss of my old man. I don't want to let someone who comes from nowhere show him."

"You said this old man is your husband, so does that mean he must be your husband? How old is your old man? What's his name? How many years have you been married?" Chen Bianbian asked three questions in a row.

The old woman answered hesitantly.

He really thought that Shangguan Yue and Chen Bianbian were easy to bully.

"Since you two are both famous doctors in Yuecheng, I'm sure most people in Yuecheng know you. So please go up and diagnose the patient, and don't hinder everyone from going in to eat."

Chen Bianbian said to the two doctors.

Seeing that the doctor was about to take the old man's pulse, the old woman slowly retreated backwards, trying to take the opportunity to escape, but Yan Hong stepped forward and pulled her back.

Shangguan Yue looked behind her. Oh? Where is Jin Feiyun? Where did he go? He was clearly there just now!

Doctor Lian, who went up to take the patient's pulse first, looked at the old man on the ground, pressed his abdomen, and then took his pulse.

"He is not suffering from poisoning, but hemorrhage, and he won't live long." Doctor Lian shook his head after saying this.

Then Doctor Zhang came up and looked at the patient's eyes, but because his mouth was closed too tightly, he couldn't see the coating on his tongue.

Doctor Zhang took the patient's pulse directly, and then carefully pressed the entire abdomen.

"This man is already extremely ill. The swelling has spread to his entire abdomen. I'm afraid he won't live more than three to five days."

As Doctor Zhang finished speaking, there was a sigh of relief all around.

"How is this possible? My old man was fine yesterday, how could he die soon? You must have teamed up with this restaurant to harm my old man." The old woman started throwing a tantrum again.

"Old lady, these two are the most famous doctors in Yuecheng. How can what they say be false?" Shangguan Yue said.

"Anyway, I don't believe it." The old woman started to act unreasonable.

"What's the point of you not believing it? You are too kind to the shopkeeper of Lanyue Pavilion. You can tell at a glance that this kind of person is not someone who can afford to spend money at Lanyue Pavilion.

A meal at Lanyue Pavilion costs at least a few taels of silver. If they had that much money, they would have used it to see a doctor long ago. Why would they wait until this long? The shopkeeper should hand the man over to the authorities for investigation."

Chen Bianbian had lost his patience. Even a fool would know such an outdated scam.

The crowd watching were also whispering, saying that the old man on the ground was wearing tattered clothes and they didn't know if he was a beggar picked up from somewhere.

Otherwise why couldn't this old woman answer what the old man's name was and didn't even know how old he was.

"Lady, please send these two people to the government office and investigate thoroughly. Don't wrongly accuse Lanyue Pavilion, and don't ruin my mood for dinner and watching the drama."

Shangguan Yue said to Yan Hong with a smile.

The beautiful woman who was protected by six guards in front turned around to look at Shangguan Yue, then looked at Chen Bianbian, raised her eyebrows, and walked towards the hall.

Shangguan Yue frowned and looked at her in confusion. Who was this woman? Although she was dressed in South Vietnamese style, her facial features did not look like those of a South Vietnamese. Instead, she looked a bit like a modern mixed-race person.

Although the guards around him were also dressed in South Vietnamese style, and there was nothing special about their appearance, their boots did not look like those of South Vietnam. Could they be from another country?

And what does her contemptuous raised eyebrow mean? She looks so superior. Judging from the respectful manner of the guards, she must be some princess from another country or some other important person!

Ask someone to keep an eye on these people later.

Shangguan Yue and Chen Bianbian went straight to the second floor and entered a specially set up shopkeeper's lounge, leaving Bai Zhi to guard outside.

I went up to a secret room on the third floor through the secret door of the shopkeeper's lounge, and Chunfen was already waiting in the secret room.

"Spring Equinox, what news have you heard recently?"

"My dear Miss, there is no important news. They are just trivial matters."

"Okay, continue to collect more information. Also, the woman just now is not simple. Have someone observe her carefully in the dark room. Don't be careless. This woman has strong anti-reconnaissance capabilities."

Shangguan Yue gave instructions to Chunfen.

“Also, although we have to keep a low profile, we are not weak and would allow ourselves to be bullied. Sooner or later, everyone will know that Lanyue Pavilion is part of the General’s Mansion.

If it's necessary to be ruthless, be ruthless. If someone is making trouble, just arrest him, beat him up and drive him out. If he continues to make trouble, send him to the government office and try to build a good relationship with the government office."

Shangguan Yue couldn't blame Chunfen. Yuecheng was full of high-ranking officials, so it was right for her to be cautious. Besides, with that small business at that time, who would pay attention to her?

It’s different now. Shangguan Yan is already a first-rank general who protects the country. It’s shameful for a military general’s store to be defrauded by others. One has to rely on his power.

Even in modern times, there are many people who bully others by taking advantage of their power! She doesn't bully others, but others don't want to mess with her.
