For example, Mr. Sun, who used to be the Imperial Censor, was prone to emotional outbursts when it came to certain matters, and had nearly suffered a stroke several times.

That's why he retired early. The crisis still exists, but he needs good medicine to take care of himself every day.

However, this diagnosis revealed that his blood clots had improved significantly, and he no longer needed to take medication daily.

If it can continue to maintain this state, there is a possibility of returning to normal.

If only one person is experiencing this, they might say it's because they've been taking good care of themselves and have taken some medication to alleviate the symptoms.

But if a whole group of people are like this, then it's not normal.

Upon closer reflection, they realized they had been doing the same thing all this time: eating at Wei Man Zhai every day.

The doctor has never been to Weimanzhai and does not know the situation there.

Judging from their physical condition, it's possible that something was added to the food at Wei Man Zhai.

However, this kind of thing is like medicinal food; it is not only harmless, but it can also better nourish the body.

The fact that it could produce such remarkable effects in such a short time must mean it's some kind of rare and precious item.

Upon hearing this, the group was both surprised and delighted.

I already knew that the owner of Weimanzhai pursued perfection, but I never expected them to be so generous and extravagant.

Then a servant came to report the latest developments.

Now that these people have benefited, even if we disregard this favor, we cannot truly allow Wei Man Zhai to be wronged and close down from now on.

That would definitely be their biggest loss.

Therefore, we came over in a hurry.

Old Master Sun said with a serious face, "Prefect Qin, no matter how complicated the case is, you should always put the people's right to clear their names and seek justice first."

Prefect Qin hurriedly replied, "Yes, yes, I was mistaken."

Although Elder Sun has retired from the imperial court, his students are all over the world.

He has countless connections in the imperial court, and he, a mere local prefect, cannot afford to offend them.

Since Wei Man Zhai has Elder Sun backing it up, Prefect Qin knows he must clear Wei Man Zhai's name today, otherwise he himself will probably not get away with it.

Thinking back to how he had just been blackmailed by Lu Jingyi, a mere shopkeeper, and now faced such a dilemma.

He couldn't help but look at Zhang Ju, his expression growing increasingly cold and stern.

He slammed his gavel, ordered someone to bring cooking utensils, and asked Li Kui to cook a dish in front of everyone.

Li Kui chose the simplest dish, Yu Mantang, which is simply stir-fried bean sprouts, and quickly prepared it.

The bean sprouts looked bland, but the stir-frying process amazed everyone inside and outside the restaurant.

Simply put, it smells amazing.

They never expected that stir-fried bean sprouts could smell so delicious.

The yamen runners brought over several pairs of chopsticks and handed them to the elderly men to enjoy.

After taking a bite, they all couldn't help but squint their eyes.

It's just right, that's exactly the taste.

It's a pity that we've been delayed like this today, and I'm afraid we won't be able to eat it. I'm quite annoyed.

"Prefect Qin may also try it."

Prefect Qin originally didn't want to eat, but since Old Sun had said so, he couldn't refuse, so he took two pieces as a token gesture.

He was slightly surprised when he tasted the bean sprouts.

Suddenly I understood why Wei Man Zhai was able to retain even Elder Sun.

The locals, who had been smelling the odor for most of the day, couldn't stand it anymore and urged for an answer as soon as possible.

Old Master Sun said, "This Jade Abundance is exactly the same as what we eat in restaurants."

Prefect Qin glanced coldly at Zhang Ju.

"Since that's the case, it means there's nothing wrong with the food at Weimanzhai. Zhang Ju, you've falsely accused someone, and you could go to jail. Do you plead guilty?"

Zhang Ju trembled violently, shaking like a leaf.

Lu Jingyi spoke at the opportune moment.

"My lord, I remember that according to the laws of our Great Dynasty, if a false accuser causes the life of the falsely accused to be in danger, the punishment is the same as murder. If the false accuser loses property, the punishment is robbery. Today, our building has lost at least three thousand taels of silver, which, according to the law, is a capital offense."

Prefect Qin's lips twitched, and Old Man Sun and the others also glanced at him.

That's because what he said was complete nonsense.

But some people, who knew absolutely nothing about the law, actually believed it.

When Zhang Ju heard that he was to be beheaded, he dared not hide anything and immediately shouted loudly.

"My lord, my lord, I was only acting under orders and did not intend to frame Wei Man Zhai."

Upon hearing this, the crowd erupted in an uproar.

It turns out they were acting under someone's orders. Who could be so malicious?

Did Wei Man Zhai dig up someone's ancestral grave? Such hatred is too vicious.

If Wei Man Zhai cannot get justice today, not only will the restaurant continue to operate, but everyone from top to bottom might end up in jail.

This is blatantly undermining someone's foundation; it's utterly despicable.

Prefect Qin demanded, "Who instructed you to frame Weimanzhai!"

Zhang Ju trembled. "Yes, yes, it's Manager Xu from Fukang Restaurant."

The crowd erupted in uproar once again.

Fukang Restaurant?

It's a restaurant, after all; turns out they're competitors.

But this method is too vicious; it leaves no room for anyone to retaliate.

Immediately, many people developed a dislike for Fukang Restaurant.

Among the crowd were people sent by Fukang Restaurant to find out what was going on.

Seeing this, he quickly and quietly squeezed out of the crowd and ran back.

Prefect Qin has already ordered that Manager Xu be brought to Fukang Restaurant for questioning.

At that moment, Yun Zhiyi arrived in a carriage with the yamen runners.

However, she already knew how things were going to develop.

She knew about the incident at the restaurant the moment it happened.

She gave everyone in the restaurant a deodorizing sachet.

There were some dried plants in the bag.

Some seeds were hidden among them.

She took these seeds from a psychic flower in the spiritual plant area.

This spiritual flower is a product of the cultivation world. Once it recognizes its owner, no matter where the seeds are scattered, the owner can attach their soul to them at any time.

With the restaurant just opened, she knew that things wouldn't go smoothly at first.

Even if they harbored the intention to test Lu Jingyi, they naturally couldn't completely ignore him.
