Chapter 468 She Really Came Here to Eat
End of the Shen hour.
In the spacious front yard of the City Lord's Mansion, fifteen large round tables were always set up, and on each table, ten sets of clean bowls and chopsticks were neatly placed.
The tablecloth is red, which makes it look particularly festive.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Han Shuo came out of the study.
When he came to the front yard and saw the layout, he nodded with satisfaction. The service and speed of Youranju were really good.
It’s been arranged like this in such a short time, not bad.
There was also a fragrance floating in the air, and Han Shuo nodded.
There shouldn't be any problems with the woman from the Xu family.
Han Shuo looked at Butler Han who was following behind him, "Go and see if anyone is coming?
Also, can you please check if the people serving here tonight have been arranged properly?
Go down and double-check all of this for me. There can't be any mistakes, okay?"
Butler Han nodded and went downstairs to make arrangements immediately.
Li Xiang saw City Lord Han coming out and approached him tremblingly:
"City Lord Han, everything is almost ready. When will the feast begin? I'll have someone get ready."
Ever since the boss said something might happen, he's been panicking and just wants to finish the job quickly and leave.
Han Shuo's face turned cold. "Why, you want to teach me how to do things?"
The person hasn't arrived yet, but comes to ask when the meal will start. Are you sure you're not asking for a beating?
Plop!
Li Xiang's legs softened and he knelt down, his face pale and his body trembling, "I don't dare.
I just saw that the food was ready and I was afraid it would get cold..."
"Shut up!" Han Shuo interrupted him and sneered:
"What? Is it possible that the food won't get cold once it's served?"
Li Xiang was shocked, knowing that he had said something wrong, and quickly shook his head, "I, I didn't mean that. City Lord Han, please forgive me."
As he said this, he kowtowed desperately towards Han Shuo.
He felt upset.
Why did he ask so much?
Isn’t it enough to just start distributing food when people come in?
A dark light flashed in Han Shuo's eyes, and he looked at Li Xiang with ill intentions, "If you don't want me to not blame you, then do me a favor."
Li Xiang raised his head and shook his head with a pale face. "City Lord Han, you are such a high-ranking official, but you can't solve the problem. What can I, a small person, do? I'm afraid I can't help you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Han Shuo suddenly grabbed his neck.
Han Shuo exerted a little force, and Li Xiang's face turned red. He also struggled painfully:
"City Lord Han, spare my life."
…
"Now, is it okay?" Han Shuo said indifferently:
"I don't have much patience, you know?"
Li Xiang nodded fearfully.
He doesn't want to die!
When he stumbled away, he found a packet of medicine in his hand and a silver note in his arms.
Li Xiang rushed back to the kitchen. He seemed not to hear anyone calling him on the way.
Standing in the kitchen, he looked around with an ugly expression.
The dish is almost cooked, so if you put drugs in it, it will be easily discovered.
Finally, his eyes fell on the pot of bone soup. He hesitated for a long time before slowly walking over. When no one was paying attention, he hurriedly opened the medicine bag and sprinkled the powder into it. He hurriedly stuffed the paper wrapping the powder into the furnace and burned it as a whole.
After doing all this, he stirred the soup. When there was no trace left, he walked to the other side and sat down. Then he gasped for air, and his hand pressed tightly against his chest, where a silver note with a face value of one hundred was hidden.
This whole scene was seen by Han Shuo's confidants.
After watching the entire process, he turned around and reported to Han Shuo.
After hearing this, Han Shuo burst into laughter, "Okay.
Now we should go out and greet the guests!"
Han Shuo's eyes flashed coldly. Today he would let them all know who had the final say in Mo City.
After saying that, Han Shuo strode towards the gate.
When he reached the gate, he saw a large group of people walking towards him on the street not far away.
Wherever they went, the people around them dodged and did not dare to approach.
As soon as Han Shuo appeared at the door, Xu Ping'an saw him.
He looked at Lin Mo beside him and lowered his voice:
"Young Madam, it's Han Shuo.
I just received news that Han Shuo had someone tamper with it."
There was a hint of contempt in Xu Ping'an's eyes. Did they really think they would believe him?
"I saw it." Lin Mo nodded, looking a little nonchalant.
"Have someone keep a close eye on Song Yi and don't let him show up here with his men." This is what Lin Mo was more worried about.
Xu Ping'an nodded, "Young Madam, don't worry.
Qi Zhengfei and he have a grudge, and if they were to clash, I'm afraid Song Yi wouldn't have time to come here."
Song Yi played an indispensable role in Qi Zhengfei's departure from the army.
If it weren't for Song Yi, Qi Zhengfei wouldn't have been injured, his limbs wouldn't have been disabled, and he wouldn't have fallen from the most popular candidate to become an ordinary person with nothing to show for it.
On the contrary, Song Yi used despicable means to squeeze out Qi Zhengfei and took the position that should have belonged to him.
Therefore, when these two people meet, a battle is inevitable, and it may be a complete disaster.
And the task I gave to Qi Zhengfei was to delay him.
Lin Mo nodded.
As the two of them were talking with their heads down, they also arrived near the City Lord's Mansion.
Han Shuo walked out of Han City Lord's Mansion enthusiastically, "Madam Xu, Master Wei, see you again."
Lin Mo nodded with a smile, "It's pretty fast, seeing you twice a day."
Old Wei beside him nodded coolly, "I heard there was food to eat, so I brought people here.
City Lord Han, this meal you are treating us to shouldn't be too shabby, right?
If it's shabby, don't blame me for leaving without giving you face."
"How could my dinner be shabby?" Han Shuo said with a fake smile. "Ten dishes and a soup, and they're all solid dishes. It's definitely not shabby."
It’s your last meal after execution, so what if it’s a little more sumptuous?
A hint of ill intent flashed across Han Shuo's face.
"That's about right." Old Wei nodded, and turned to look at the people he brought with him.
"Come and eat to your heart's content. No need to be polite to City Lord Han."
"Yes, Master Wei!"
Everyone shouted in unison, the sound was deafening.
Han Shuo's face didn't look very good, but he still tried to maintain a smile on his face. "Please come in. Once you are seated, the food will be served."
"Well, let's go!"
Soon, everyone walked in, and except for the main table, the other tables were already full of people.
Han Shuo's face was still full of smiles. "Everyone, please wait here for a moment. I'll go out and bring someone in."
"If City Lord Han wants to go out to pick me up, then there's no need." Sun Meilan was dressed in formal attire.
The gorgeous clothes and exquisite makeup made her look more than ten years younger.
Moreover, the moment she appeared, she exuded a powerful aura without a trace of concealment, which made people feel shocked.
"Sorry, I'm late." Sun Meilan smiled generously at the people, "I'll drink three cups as punishment later."
Han Shuo smiled unnaturally, "It's not too late, just right.
You arrived just in time, so I didn't have to go out of my way to pick you up. As for the three-drink penalty, forget it."
Sun Meilan smiled brightly, "City Lord Han, you are too polite.
Are you reluctant to give up this wine and afraid that I will drink it all?"
"Mrs. Zhang, you're joking. Please take a seat first." Han Shuo's smile was a bit forced, then he turned his head to look in the direction of the kitchen and asked someone to serve the dishes.
After giving all the instructions, he looked at everyone seriously:
"I spent a lot of money to hire the chef from Youranju to help with this banquet tonight. Let me tell you, the chef from Youranju is an expert in cooking. If you don't try every dish, you'll be missing out."
Sun Meilan raised her eyebrows, "That's a real investment."
As she spoke, she turned her head and looked at Lin Mo, "Mrs. Xu, you haven't been to Mocheng much, and you probably haven't tasted the cooking skills of the chefs at Youranju. Today, you must try it carefully."
Lin Mo nodded, "Of course."
She changed her sitting position and said, "I've heard about it before. It's a chance encounter, so I won't miss it."
While they were talking, the waiter from Youran Ju started serving the dishes.
The aroma of the dishes made Lin Mo raise an eyebrow. He was not fooled at all.
The first dish was actually braised pork elbow.
Lin Mo looked up and said, "City Lord Han, it's OK. The first one is such a tough dish."
Han Shuo smiled, "Of course.
Madam Xu, please try it. This is the signature dish of Youranju.
Lin Mo nodded and picked up the chopsticks to pick up the pork elbow, only to find that it was stewed very well and difficult to pick up with chopsticks.
"Mrs. Xu, use a spoon." Sun Meilan took a spoon and handed it to her.
"Thank you." Lin Mo nodded.
Sure enough, with the help of a spoon, it became much easier.
Seeing the stewed pork elbow, Lin Mo started to eat it without any hesitation, and ate it very seriously and carefully.
Sun Meilan raised her eyebrows. Why did she feel that she was really here to eat?
Isn't she afraid that Han Shuo will poison her?
