Chapter 107 Waste
The old woman stretched out her hand and pointed at the two people in front of her who were trying to escape but were caught.
The two men who were being held by the yamen runners could no longer bear it when they saw the old woman putting all the blame on them.
The two men are not stupid. This is no longer a simple frame-up. It has turned into a matter of life and death. Once they are charged with murder, they will really face imprisonment.
The two men did not dare to delay, and under the pressure of Zhou Yayi's eyes, they explained everything they knew in detail.
It turned out that these two people were also paid to do the job. Someone paid them to take advantage of the chaos to disrupt the situation and ruin the reputation of Baiwei Baiwei Restaurant.
"Then where did you get this corpse? Who gave you the money?"
The two spoke hesitantly and stammered.
"What? Don't want to tell?"
"No, no, we don't know much about the person behind this. We only know that he also owns a restaurant, and he has disliked this Baiwei Restaurant for a long time. As for this corpse, we two brought it back while standing guard." The two men looked at Zhou Yayi, who had a dark and serious face, and did not dare to hide anything.
In order to make the frame-up more realistic, the two men went to a mass grave and dragged a corpse that looked not to have been dead for long, so that the old couple could come and make trouble.
The two of them hid in the crowd and made a fuss, but no one knew that the yamen runners arrived with a coroner who specifically examined and studied the body.
Now, the frame-up was not completed, but he was instead tainted with a scandal.
After hearing what these three people said, the people watching around understood what had happened. It was nothing more than someone disliking Baiwei Restaurant and wanted to use some underhanded tactics to deal with them.
Or use the method of killing people, such a trick is too vicious. If there were no yamen runners and coroners, I am afraid they would have misunderstood Baiwei Restaurant.
At the same time, the people present were also curious, wondering which restaurant came up with such a shady trick?
Qizhou County is not very big, and there are only about ten restaurants and hotels in total. I just don’t know which one it is.
"Manager Pei, what do you think about this matter?" asked Zhou, the yamen runner.
"We can't be sure whether these three people did anything wrong or lied. My suggestion is to take away the people related to the deceased for investigation. Once we have a clue, we can release these three people and check the true identity of the deceased. It is impossible that there is no news about the deceased if he is still alive." Pei Yian gave advice.
Zhou Yayi nodded, feeling that what he said did make some sense. Although these people had explained everything clearly, what if someone was still hiding something?
They also need to find out whether the deceased was poisoned by drugs. However, there are no clues now, so they can only escort these people for investigation.
"Manager Pei, we'll leave first."
After saying this, Zhou Yayi ordered his men to take away the body and the three people involved with the body.
Such behavior made it clear at a glance that this incident had nothing to do with Baiwei Restaurant. As the yamen runners left, the crowd of people watching the excitement dispersed.
Someone even tried to console him, "Boss, your food is really delicious. I think other restaurants are using this shady trick just because they remember your business is so good!"
"That's right, they're definitely jealous of you, boss. You better be careful in the future and don't let those restaurants with bad intentions take advantage of you!"
"Thank you all for your concern. We will be careful next time." Ji Zhisui responded after being comforted by everyone.
Grandma Zhao had never seen such a scene before. She patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief. She said, the food in the restaurant is clean and hygienic, how could he die from eating!
It turned out that someone was jealous and wanted to frame their restaurant!
Thinking of this, Granny Zhao couldn't help but ask with some worry: "Sui Niang, Master Pei, this frame-up didn't succeed, they won't come back!"
"Yes, what should we do if they come again?" Sister You was also worried. What happened before also scared her silly.
She didn't expect that those people actually carried a corpse, it was so scary!
"No, don't worry. At least for now they don't dare to make any moves. They may even take the initiative to visit you." Pei Yian narrowed his eyes slightly.
At this juncture, only a brainless person would continue to frame him.
This frame-up could involve any restaurant. Those people would not dare to have any other thoughts. They would only come up to establish relationships with the restaurant to clear themselves of suspicion.
Ji Zhisui had obviously thought of this as well. She said, "Yes, Grandma Zhao, don't worry. They won't dare to make any small moves recently."
Only after Youzou and the other two people's assurances did Grandma Zhao and Sister You feel relieved.
"No, I have to go find some grapefruit leaves!"
"Yes, yes, it's too unlucky outside, we must go out to get rid of the bad luck!" Sister You agreed.
The two people thought of the same thing and took action immediately to find grapefruit leaves to get rid of bad luck.
Things turned out just as Pei Yian expected. What happened this afternoon was spread by word of mouth among those present.
Many people in Qizhou County knew about this. Some of them were true fans of Baiwei Restaurant and could not tolerate this. Some even began to suspect various restaurants and hotels behind their backs, and the situation was very widespread.

Inside a restaurant.
The person sitting in the main seat heard the whole story from others, stretched out his hand and flipped the teacups on the table, causing them to fall to the floor.
His voice was gloomy. "Waste! Waste! You are all a bunch of waste. You can't even do such a small thing!"
The person who reported lowered his head and dared not speak, trying to reduce his presence, for fear that the shopkeeper would vent his anger on him.
"What do you think we should do next?"
There were only two of them in the room. Knowing that the shopkeeper was asking him a question, the man felt helpless because he didn't have any good ideas.
The three people who caused trouble were arrested by the yamen runners. At the same time, the man was also glad that he did not reveal his identity.
As long as he cuts off the clues, the yamen runners will not be able to find out that this matter has anything to do with them.
But for now, the route of framing someone is not feasible. If it fails, it will be of no benefit to get them killed.
"I'm asking you a question. Are you mute?"
The man in front of the meeting did not respond for a long time, so the shopkeeper continued to ask questions.
The man brainstormed for a solution, and finally whispered, "Boss, we'd better hold our ground for now. If anything else happens and those yamen runners find out about our family, we'll be in big trouble. Baiwei Restaurant still has a very high status among diners."
"Tsk! You low-class bastard, you dare to compete with us! But you're right, go observe and see if other restaurants are making any moves. If they are, it won't be too late for us to take action."
"Yes." The man bowed his head respectfully and walked out.
