Quick Wear: Crazy Female Supporting Role She is Bai Yueguang
Chapter 142 Black Lotus Tears the Cannon Fodder Script (13)
Feng Yin sneered, "Miss, do you know that there are many people who want to hire me? Do you have enough money?"
"How about one hundred taels of silver a month to help me with my work? If you don't like doing something, I won't force you to do it."
After Shi Qing finished speaking, he raised his eyebrows and glanced at Feng Yin. The conditions she offered were so generous, what else could Feng Yin say?
Fengyin hesitated for a long time, and finally agreed to it because she gave so much.
"Okay, I promise you will."
The two of them hit it off so easily. Shi Qing gave him twenty taels of silver as a deposit and then gave him his address.
"If you need anything, come find me here. Someone will be waiting for you at the Liu residence, a hundred meters away from Wangjiang Tower. Got it?"
After Shi Qing finished speaking, she put down the silver and left. Feng Yin was a man of loyalty and righteousness. Although she had used some tricks, Feng Yin was still her subordinate after all.
She left the inn and asked Tuanzi in her mind, "Where's the random surprise we promised you? Tuanzi, don't act stupid!"
Tuanzi's mechanical voice sounded, but this time he didn't try to deceive anyone and spoke seriously.
[Congratulations to the host for completing the task. The system will randomly reward clues. The host can tell the information they want to know, and the system will reveal three pieces of information for you, giving you a bird's-eye view. Each time the information progress bar is reached, it will cool down for three days before providing clues to the host again.]
Shi Qing seemed to be thinking about something. Tuanzi didn't cheat anyone this time. If the clues were used well, Shi Luoyi could be killed.
The two of them were old enemies, and it was a life-and-death battle, so she had no intention of showing mercy.
However, Shi Luoyi is Princess Xiaoyao, so it will take some time to clean up the mess, but she can wait for an opportunity.
Shi Luoyi was impatient to begin with, and Shi Qing believed that her patience and composure would not last long.
"I want to know Shi Luoyi's secret."
Tuanzi was well prepared, and a mechanical sound rang in Shi Qing's ears.
【Host, come and eat melon. 】
Shi Qing rolled his eyes and said, "Stop talking nonsense and get to the point."
Tuanzi trembled and said aggrievedly.
[The tavern opened by Shi Luoyi is extremely profitable. The reason the host smelled a fishy odor last time was actually a rotten smell.]
The dishes in the tavern were all bought from an inconspicuous vegetable vendor in the south of the city. The vendor was a lazy fellow, and the meat he sent was not fresh; some of it was already rotten and smelly. He marinated the meat with foot washing water and salt before sending it to the tavern.
"So, Shi Luoyi didn't know about this?"
There was some helplessness in Tuanzi's voice, and he said helplessly.
[Not really. She just used this incident to bargain with the vegetable vendor. The two of them reached a cooperation, buying at a low price and selling at a lower price. The daily profit was about fifty taels.]
Shi Qing, "..."
She thought that Shi Luoyi would rise as a time traveler, but she didn't expect that she would take a shortcut and almost kill herself.
[The bistro may seem cheap and good, but the dishes are actually filled with antidiarrheal medication to prevent vomiting and diarrhea...]
[By the way, doesn't the pub serve fried chicken? Last month, a village on the outskirts of the city was hit by a chicken plague, and Shi Luoyi secretly bought back some sick chickens.
She soaked a lot of herbs and began to marinate them, then coated the chicken according to the recipe and fried it in oil. No one could tell what was wrong with the taste.
Shi Qing wiped the cold sweat off her forehead. She was sweating profusely and suddenly felt like vomiting...
Just now, she felt a little uncomfortable when she smelled the barbecue, so she only drank some fruit wine. She didn't expect Shi Luoyi to play like this. He really didn't take other people's lives seriously.
【It’s very cruel! 】
Shi Qing felt that he couldn't let Shi Luoyi take the lives of these ancient people. Their lives were short to begin with, so what was going on?
Shi Qing went to the government office and submitted an anonymous letter. The official was an honest and upright person and would read any anonymous letter sent to him.
Afterwards, Shi Qing went straight to the tavern.
Not far away, Chunlin and Shi Xiaoyun were looking for her in the tavern.
Shi Qing turned back and finally made the two of them feel relieved.
"Sister, where did you go just now? Why can't I see you anywhere?"
Shi Qing made up an excuse casually, "I was too full, so I went out for a walk."
Shi Xiaoyun didn't doubt it. Thinking that it was getting late, he stood up and prepared to leave.
Unexpectedly, the waiter in the store suddenly shouted "Catch thief", and then someone surrounded the three people.
Everyone was confused and looked at Shi Qing, wondering what had happened in the tavern.
Shi Xiaoyun was a very straightforward person, and he was of course unhappy about being treated like a prisoner.
He said coldly, "Is this how you treat guests?"
Shi Qing glanced at the waiter calmly, remaining calm in the face of danger, but the chopsticks in her hand were broken by her.
She threw her chopsticks heavily on the ground and said slowly, "If you don't have evidence, you'll be sued for wrongly accusing a customer like this."
"Just now, weren't you the one who came to the backyard? Coincidentally, a white goose that we bought at a high price disappeared, as well as the two boxes of bird's nest and abalone that I had left in the backyard. There was no one else there except you."
The woman who was speaking looked familiar. Shi Qing raised his eyebrows and looked at her. Sure enough, he remembered who she was. It turned out to be the maid who served Shi Luoyi.
Shi Qing raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "In that case, why not report it to the authorities?"
The onlookers also felt that what Shi Qing said made sense. Since they didn't know who was right or wrong, reporting to the police was the most reliable option.
However, when Fu'er heard this, her expression changed slightly. She quickly said, "As long as you pay a hundred taels of silver as compensation, our boss will let bygones be bygones."
Perhaps to verify the truth of what she said, she asked around and confirmed that only Shi Qing had left, but reporting to the police was absolutely impossible.
When everyone thought that things were going to get out of hand, sparse noises were heard outside the tavern. After a while, people in official uniforms surrounded the tavern inside and out.
The people eating in the tavern were a little puzzled and talked about it.
"How come the officers and soldiers from Jingzhao Prefecture arrived so quickly today? It's surprising."
Fu'er was also panicked. She really had no idea what the Jingzhao Prefecture's yamen runners were up to. In order to prevent any unexpected events, she ordered the waiter to secretly go to Xiaoyao Palace to inform the emperor.
Fu'er smiled and asked the officers and soldiers who came to inspect in a respectful tone.
"I wonder why you are here, sir?"
The official glanced at Fu'er and said coldly.
"Is your shopkeeper here? We received an anonymous report in Jingzhao Prefecture that the ingredients purchased by your tavern are of unknown origin and have a rancid smell, so we came here to investigate."
After saying this, the official's face turned a little green. You know, he has been going to the tavern most frequently during this period.
The husband comes here every day to eat a few skewers of mutton, grilled chicken wings, and drink a bowl of delicious and spicy soup.
For him, it can relieve a day's fatigue, and most importantly, it is not expensive. With his salary, he can eat here several times a month, and sometimes he brings his brothers here to eat.
He never expected that someone would report the inside story. He felt very upset and took the initiative to find an adult to take the task and come to patrol.
Food is the most important thing for people, and this is a big deal. If someone really uses ingredients that are not in accordance with the rules, they will be sued.
Fu'er was sweating profusely. She remembered that she had just deliberately put the blame on others, but now she was being retaliated against. She felt a little unhappy.
"Sir, someone must be jealous of our tavern's booming business and made an anonymous report. You can't think that our tavern has committed any crime because of this incident."
Chunlin snorted coldly and chuckled.
"Our daughter was only away for a while, and you suspected that the things missing from the kitchen were stolen by her. Why, now you feel wronged?"
Fu'er was almost crying because of Chunlin. She never thought that her mouth skills were so powerful.
However, these officers and soldiers must be kept calm and not allowed to go to the kitchen, otherwise everything will be ruined.
Shi Qing curled her red lips and said murderously, "Whether you are wronged or not, you will know after you go in and take a look. I just went into the backyard and I am very familiar with the way. Gentlemen, please come this way."
As he spoke, Shi Qing led the way. The waiter of the tavern wanted to stop him, but he was ultimately no match for the two men beside Shi Qing. He could only stare with wide eyes as the soldiers entered the backyard.
The customers who were originally eating fried skewers quickly stood up and followed over. The place where the ingredients were stored in the kitchen was a bit hidden.
Until I reached the last room and pushed the door open, a pungent smell came to my nose.
There was blood all over the floor in the kitchen where frozen goods were kept. The ingredients were placed on the floor like that, and there were a lot of black spots on them, as if they were moldy.
There was also some fresh, unmarinated fried chicken, but it had black and blue marks on it. The leading official took a look at it and his expression changed slightly.
"This is clearly a sick and dying chicken. How dare you even eat something like this? Are you trying to save your life?"
I remember that some time ago, many animals died of chicken plague, and some farmers were reluctant to bury them. So they appeared in a tavern in this way, and it was a very prosperous tavern.
When the onlookers saw this scene, they vomited and then crawled out of the tavern.
Fu'er couldn't hold on any longer. She shook her head and gave up. "Purchasing is the responsibility of our waiter. I don't know the situation. Please be kind, sir."
The official lost his temper and ordered his men to bring out the purchase list and the account transactions. Fu'er had no choice but to hand over the items.
When Shi Qing saw this, he knew that Shi Luoyi would not show up, so he waved his hand and left with Shi Xiaoyun and Chunlin.
The bailiffs eventually followed the clues and found out the black industry behind it. They then went to the vegetable market in the south of the city and arrested Wang Wu, who was selling black-hearted meat, and reported the matter to their superiors.
Seeing that this matter concerned people's livelihood, the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture dared not conceal it, so he submitted a memorial to the current emperor overnight, and the tavern was closed that night.
Everything inside was sealed up, and the tavern's operator was taken to Jingzhao Prefecture.
Under interrogation, the manager of the tavern confessed to the incident and was eventually imprisoned.
This incident seemed to be a wake-up call, and it was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the restaurants in the capital. At the same time, the medical clinics in the capital were almost full.
Those guests who had been to the tavern began to suffer from vomiting and diarrhea, as if they had scared themselves and made themselves sick.
The people thought of the food they had eaten at the tavern and could not sleep or eat well every day. In the end, they had to take a lot of medicine to recover.
That night, Emperor Mingde issued an edict, ordering the person in charge of the tavern to be thrown into the sky prison, whipped dozens of times, and imprisoned for five years as a warning to others.
For a time, everyone who ran a restaurant in the capital was very cautious, worried that they would make mistakes.
Speaking of which, the one who suffered the greatest loss this time was Shi Luoyi, as she only had five hundred taels of silver.
This time, I spent three hundred taels of silver to open a shop and purchase goods, but only got two hundred taels of silver back. I thought I saw hope.
Who knew that someone would suddenly intervene and her dream of getting rich quickly would be shattered in an instant.
Shi Luoyi wanted to know who made the anonymous report. After much investigation, he finally found out that it was Shi Qing who did it all and that she was the one who wrote the anonymous letter.
She was so angry that she threw all the jewelry in the room to the ground, her face was very gloomy. She finally got up, and it was Shi Qing who made trouble again, causing the tavern to be closed.
If it was just a loss of some silver, it would be fine, the tavern was invested by King Xiaoyao.
Now that there was no progress at all and the tavern was gone, she was worried that she would become useless in King Xiaoyao's eyes.
Although King Xiaoyao never scolded her on weekdays, Shi Luoyi was still afraid.
"Princess, we have a long way to go. I will send someone to keep a close eye on Shi Qing and make sure nothing goes wrong."
Shi Luoyi needed to vent her anger at this moment, and she looked at Fu'er with increasing displeasure. She raised her hand and slapped Fu'er, speaking in a gloomy tone.
"What use is there for me, the princess, to have you? You can't even handle this little thing. I just asked you to look after the tavern, and you actually let the government shut it down. Why don't you kneel down now?"
"I know I was wrong, please forgive me, Princess."
After saying this, she kowtowed heavily, but received no mercy from Shi Luoyi.
Fu'er was beautiful and was a gift from King Xiaoyao, so she naturally disliked Fu'er.
Shi Luoyi threw the vase on the table to the ground. There was a crisp sound and the vase broke into pieces. She pointed at the sharp fragments and said coldly to Fu'er.
"Kneel here for half an hour, and I will spare you."
Fu'er bit her lip and begged for mercy, but Shi Luoyi would never listen.
Finally, Fu'er knelt on the broken porcelain pieces with a trembling body. The sharp pieces scratched her knees and bright red blood flowed from her knees.
King Xiaoyao suddenly stepped into the room. He glanced at Shi Luoyi, then said to Fu'er calmly, "Go down. You have nothing to do here."
Fu'er felt relieved, bowed, and turned to leave.
Shi Luoyi sat beside the bed curtain and said to King Xiaoyao coquettishly, "Your Highness, I originally wanted to help you solve your problems, but I didn't expect the tavern to be gone. It's all my fault. Please blame me, Your Highness."
As she spoke, the beautiful woman burst into tears, looking extremely pitiful.
King Xiaoyao has always been a person who cherishes flowers. Seeing Shi Luoyi like this, he quickly hugged her in his arms and said with concern.
"Don't be afraid, Luo'er. I have your back. It's just a small tavern. Whatever money you can make, if it's gone, it's gone. You still have your husband."
Shi Luoyi wiped her tears and said, "Your Highness really loves me."
King Xiaoyao's eyes were dark and blue, and it was obvious that he was overly indulged. Normally, Luo Yi did not control him. No matter which concubine he favored, she would not fight for it and was very generous.
