Liao Hui looked at the man in front of him warily, and felt that the way he looked at him indifferently just now made all the hairs on his body stand on end, and made his whole body on guard.

Gu Lang glanced at him indifferently, feeling that his behavior was a little funny.

Liao Hui didn't know why the man in front of him, who was obviously a frail scholar, would make him react like this.It's just that losing is not losing. He watched the man in front of him subconsciously puff up his chest, trying to show his strength.

As if sensing that the atmosphere at the scene was not right, Chen Xing glanced left and right, finally set his eyes on Gu Lang, and asked a little strangely: "What's wrong with you?"

Gu Lang turned his head to look at Chen Xing who was next to him, and saw him looking at them with a puzzled face, his originally indifferent eyebrows and eyes softened for a moment, and said softly: "It's nothing, I just didn't expect us to be so lucky, Not only did this son break through their conspiracy, but he is also willing to come and testify for us at this time."

Chen Xing nodded upon hearing this, and looked at Liao Hui gratefully.Yes, although they found the poison, they also knew the source of that thing.But without Liao Hui's notification, it would be impossible for them to know that the thing was specially planted and framed by others to frame them.

Thinking of this, Chen Xing softened his tone to Liao Hui, "This time, please trouble Mr. Liao."

After receiving Chen Xing's grateful gaze, and seeing the little white face in front of him subdued to himself, Liao Hui immediately regained his energy, with a bit of pride on his face, "This kind of unreasonable thing, naturally Give justice to the victim. Otherwise, if other people follow suit, wouldn’t it be a mess.”

When Chen Xing heard his words, he felt that his spirit was rare. There are many people who are wise and protect their lives in this world, and there are not many people who dare to tell the truth like him.

Seeing that Chen Xing's admiration for Liao Hui was about to be revealed in a real way, Gu Lang who was standing next to him narrowed his eyes slightly, then looked at the official servant who stayed behind, and said bluntly: "Master, this young master is important. Witnesses, shouldn’t we record a statement?”

"Ah, oh, it seems so. This young man, please follow me."

The officials who were suddenly called were a little confused, but they thought that their process seemed to be like this, so after a short hesitation, they took Liao Hui down to record in a daze.

After Liao Hui left with the officials, the other relevant shop assistants were also taken down by the officials for questioning. Only Chen Xing and Gu Lang, who were clearly the bosses but didn't know anything, were left behind.

Only Gu Lang and Chen Xing were left at the scene, Chen Xing looked at Gu Lang and said sadly, "I'm sorry."

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing with some doubts on his face, as if he didn't quite understand why he wanted to apologize.

Chen Xing didn't look at Gu Lang's expression, but just looked down at his fingers, and said apologetically, "If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't have encountered these troubles." Obviously he was the owner of that shop, but at that time , but asked Gu Lang to help him take responsibility.

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing's frustrated expression, patted his head, and said softly: "It's okay, compared to these troubles, I'm more glad to have met you."

Hearing this, Chen Xing raised his eyes to look at him, only to see that Gu Lang's eyes were full of tenderness that would drown him.

Zhou family.

Ever since Zhou Qing learned from his younger brother that someone from the Chen Family Restaurant was taken away by the officials and the shop was closed, he was extremely happy when he thought that the Chen Family Restaurant would be brought down soon.He also specially asked someone to invite his uncle over, and the two made a table of delicious dishes, preparing to celebrate in advance.

During the dinner, the uncle and nephew flattered each other, both of them were extremely happy, as if they could see the Chen family's business become their own, and the Chen family's income became their own.

"Uncle, you are the best!" Zhou Qing filled Steward Zhou's glass with wine, watched him pick it up and drank it in one gulp, then gave him a thumbs up, and said in admiration, "If it wasn't for uncle's idea Way, that can break them so easily. Sure enough, the most promising person in our family is you, uncle, and others are as smart as you."

Zhou Qing originally wanted to teach Chen Xing and the others a lesson, but when he was discussing with Huang Yao, he happened to meet his uncle who was visiting their house.After hearing about their plans and the daily income of the small restaurant, his uncle became more interested in compiling recipes for that small restaurant.After that, they not only pointed out the deficiencies in their plan, but even personally helped find someone to perfect the key points.

"You bastard!" Steward Zhou stroked his beard, and was flattered by his incompetent nephew, but on the surface he said extraordinarily reserved: "It's nothing, it's just some yellow hair without a foundation. Mao Xiaoer, create a little trouble for them, your uncle and I can still do it."

Listening to Steward Zhou's words, Zhou Qing still felt that his uncle was too self-effacing. Whether it was getting medicine, delivering medicine, finding someone to pretend to be poisoned to death, or opening up the relationship with the government, it didn't require strong connections. , otherwise how could it be possible, he continued to compliment:

"Uncle, you're being too polite. You don't have the skills of an uncle, but you can do it like this. When my nephew gets the shop, he will manage it well and give most of the proceeds to my uncle."

Hearing what Zhou Qing said, Steward Zhou nodded, very satisfied with his nephew's knowledge.He is still the housekeeper of the Chen family, some things are not easy to do by himself, but if he entrusts his nephew to do it, it will not be a big problem.

Thinking of this, Steward Zhou couldn't help looking at Zhou Qing with a little more kindness in his eyes, and said in a gentle voice, "Qing'er still has a heart."

Hearing the praise, Zhou Qing's expression became more and more complacent, but he quickly imitated those poor scholars and said politely: "Uncle taught me well, so I can achieve such achievements. In the future, my nephew will have to rely on me a lot." Uncle, I also hope that uncle will not be stingy in teaching his nephew."

While the two were talking, Zhou Qing's daughter-in-law brought them another plate of fresh meat, and then went out with lowered eyebrows.

Zhou Qing looked at the back of the woman leaving, and frowned in dissatisfaction. He usually couldn't understand the submissive appearance of his daughter-in-law. Now that his uncle is here, she still looks like this, which is really too much. It's embarrassing for him.

Steward Zhou noticed his eyes, followed his eyes to see the woman who had just stepped out of the door, and couldn't help frowning, then thought of something, and said dissatisfiedly: "You are not young, this niece and daughter-in-law have I didn't give birth to a son and a half daughter for you, if not..."

Zhou Qing listened to his uncle's unsatisfactory meaning, and also understood the unsatisfactory meaning, and said directly: "Uncle, I know. When I take over this shop and have money, I will marry another woman who can have children." of."

Steward Zhou's original intention was just to let him and his wife work hard and add more incense to their Zhou family, but he thought that after Zhou Qing got the shop, there would be a steady stream of money, what kind of wife Zhou Qing wanted to marry, no, no. Opening his mouth to stop, directly acquiescing to his nephew's thoughts.

The woman who hadn't gone far outside the door, heard the movement in the room, and a bit of despair appeared on her already sallow face.He stared fixedly at the door for a while, then turned and left.

Just as Zhou Qing and Steward Zhou were having a good time drinking and thinking about the wonderful life in the Chen family's small restaurant in the future, there was a bang bang bang outside the door.The sound was in a slightly quiet space, like a drumstick beating on people's hearts, making people's hearts thump.

"Who is it?" A woman's voice came from the courtyard.

"We are servants of the government office. We have been ordered to invite Zhou Qing from your family to go to the yamen. Open the door quickly, so as not to waste everyone's time!"

Hearing the fierce voices outside, Zhou Qing, who had just smugly sipped wine, looked at his uncle with a face full of surprise, and said in a panic: "Uncle, what should I do? Why did the officials come to the door? Did they What did you know, so you came to arrest me?"

Butler Zhou was much calmer than his nephew. He stroked his half-white beard, thought for a while, looked at Zhou Qing and comforted him: "Don't worry, it should be that you had a conflict with the people in that restaurant some time ago. And now that the restaurant has troubles one after another, and they are taken to the Yamen for questioning, it must be because of the conflict between you, that's why the official came to you. Now I'm taking you there, I should just ask you to go and ask You just have to remember that although you have an old grudge with the owner of that restaurant, you haven't done anything."

Zhou Qing's flustered expression gradually calmed down under the comfort of his uncle, and then he looked at his uncle and nodded heavily.

At the same time, the officials outside the door had already opened the door. Accompanied by Zhou's wife, they tremblingly came to the door of Zhou Qing's room.

"Zhou Qing is in there?" The official's tone was not polite at all, and if he listened carefully, it was even a bit arrogant.

"Yes, yes." The woman's submissive voice sounded, followed by a vigorous knock on the door.

Zhou Qing glanced at the direction of the door, and couldn't help but secretly resent that this damn mother-in-law sold him out just like this.

Butler Zhou glanced at the door indifferently, then looked at his nephew, and said calmly: "Go, remember what I told you."

Hearing his uncle's words, Zhou Qing felt much more at ease. He nodded slightly, took a deep breath, and then came to the door, opened the door, looked at the guards outside the door, and revealed a With a flattering expression, "Guys, I'm Zhou Qing. I don't know what you want from me?"

The leading officer glanced at him up and down, and in the midst of Zhou Qing's gradually unable to hold on to his smile, he sneered, "My lord has an invitation, please come with us."

"Yes Yes."

Hearing the official's unkind words, Zhou Qing didn't dare to continue to ask, but seeing the expressions of several officials looking at him with no false words, he gradually felt a little uneasy.

When Zhou Qing followed the officials to the yamen and saw Widow Xu and others waiting inside, the uneasiness in his heart became more and more serious. He even had a vague feeling that he might not be able to go home properly this time. up.
