Chapter 39

First a scoundrel asks for trouble, then a rumormonger has a change of heart

After a distorted howl, the whole yard suddenly became quiet.

Xiao Yue withdrew her foot in disgust and said to Duan Lin at the door: "You should be in charge of this kind of thing. He was the one who provoked me first."

What a bitch, he's the one teasing first!

Duan Lin swallowed his saliva, noticed Fu Xunzhou's gaze, and said seriously: "Don't worry, Madam Xiao, this man not only used a stick next door, but also tried to disrupt the normal operation of your store and verbally harassed you. I will naturally catch him and interrogate him."

Judging from this person's appearance, it is obviously not the first time he has offended others, and you can also ask about the fake goods next door.

Hearing this, Master Zheng, who was lying on the ground shaking, turned his head with difficulty, and saw the shining badge on the waist of the person who spoke.

Above is...

Master Zheng gasped and fainted on the spot.

Fang Sanhong came over and kicked him again, sneering: "I was thinking of giving him a slap on the face and throwing him into the water, but you've only dirty your feet."

"It's okay." Xiao Yue didn't care much: "Hit the snake at its weakest part. No matter what he wants to do in the future, he will be useless."

Duan Lin paused as he took out the rope, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Is it really okay to say this to my face? Even though the words are rough, the logic is there, but it's too rough!

Fu Xunzhou looked at Xiao Yue's relieved expression and raised the corner of his mouth.

moment.

Master Zheng and his followers were tied up with ropes. After learning Duan Lin's identity, the latter ones dared not say a word.

In front of the front door, Fu Xunzhou was leaving a farewell message to Xiao Yue: "Don't let it affect your mood."

"This won't have any good impact." Xiao Yue didn't think there was anything to be shy about when teaching a pervert a lesson in front of others, but Fu Xunzhou's approach made her quite satisfied: "You kicked me hard just now, I can't tell."

Such a gentle person, yet so quick in his movements.

Fu Xunzhou was a little puzzled, but continued: "He used clever tricks. There is no need to be polite to such people."

"That's true." Xiao Yue nodded in agreement. At this moment, an alarm suddenly sounded in his mind.

[Ding ding ding!] We have detected a stranger loitering at the back door of the host's store for five minutes. His behavior was sneaky and he was not a passerby. The back door has now been automatically locked. Please go and check it as soon as possible! 】

The system's voice repeated itself three times, sounding unusually serious.

Xiao Yue was stunned for a moment, frowned, said to Fu Xunzhou, "I'll go to the back door, you go first," then turned and left.

But with her reaction like that, Fu Xunzhou couldn't feel at ease, so he quickly followed her.

Fang Sanhong frowned and saw Xiao Yue going around from a side path, so he hurriedly followed him.

back door.

Xiao Yue strode around the corner and saw a sneaky figure.

The man was wrapped tightly, was not tall, and was bending over to look through the crack of the back door of Yueting Self-service Restaurant.

Hearing the footsteps, the man looked back and saw so many people were stunned. He immediately wanted to leave.

Fu Xunzhou was faster than him. He stepped forward, restrained him and pressed him against the wall.

"It hurts, it hurts!" The man said quickly: "I didn't do anything bad, I didn't do anything bad!"

Xiao Yue frowned and walked forward, tearing off the clothes on his face. After seeing clearly, he immediately took two steps back.

I saw that this man's face was covered with scars and pits, which was not only disgusting but also creepy.

However, one can vaguely recognize from his facial features that he is the person who deliberately came to the store not long ago to eat allergic food and framed and spread malicious rumors.

At this moment, Liu Qiao's face was rubbed against the wall, tears were about to flow out, and he cried out: "I, I came to apologize to Madam Xiao!"

Fu Xunzhou frowned, and finally let go of his hand in disgust.

Liu Qiao quickly stood up, wiped his face with his clothes and covered it with his hands. Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, he looked up and saw several people surrounding him.

He couldn't help but huddle in the corner, looked at Xiao Yue, and said flatteringly: "Xiao, Madam Xiao..."

"You just said, what are you here for?" Xiao Yue's expression was complicated, with a head full of question marks.

What day is it today? First a nasty hooligan comes and asks for trouble, and then a rumor-monger comes and finally feels guilty?

Liu Qiao: "I, I really am here to apologize. I'm sorry! My conscience was eaten by a dog that day. Madam Xiao knows what happened to me when she saw me like this. If you hadn't called a doctor in time, I might have died there..."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Is it unlucky to get into trouble in our store?" Fang Sanhong couldn't help but interrupt him.

Liu Qiao quickly apologized: "No, no, that's not what I meant! In addition to apologizing, I also came to thank you. Thank you so much for saving me, Madam Xiao..."

"I don't accept it." Xiao Yue crossed her arms, glanced at his blushing face, and said bluntly: "You're not going to say just this, what else do you want to do?"

She had a vague feeling that this person had come here specially for something so simple.

As expected, Liu Qiao hesitated, looking left and right, aiming at Fu Xunzhou and Duan Lin: "I, I'm about to leave Liuyun City, and I have something I want to tell Madam Xiao alone..."

Xiao Yue was impatient: "If you have something to say, say it. If not, get out."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Liu Qiao finally spoke, speaking incoherently and with a guilty conscience: "I, I was actually bribed by Zhang Mo. No, more than once. It started on the day Jixiang Restaurant changed its business model. He asked me to be a stooge and openly and secretly drag down Yueting Buffet Food Materials..."

Xiao Yue's expression remained unchanged.

Liu Qiao felt another inexplicable chill and shuddered before continuing, "And last time, he knew I couldn't eat too much garlic, and he knew you had this dish, so he let me, let me eat it and then framed you..."

"What else?" Xiao Yue grabbed Fang Sanhong's hand, which was shaking with anger, and stared at his evasive eyes.

Liu Qiao took a deep breath, as if he had mustered up his courage, but his voice became quieter: "Also, it was actually Jixiang Restaurant that used unclean ingredients. Zhang Mo had them delivered to the store before dawn every morning, and they mixed them with fresh ingredients, so no one has discovered it yet..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the alley became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Fu Xunzhou said coldly: "What else?"

“And…” Liu Qiao didn’t expect this person to ask a question so suddenly. His aura frightened him so much that his legs went limp. He came to his senses and quickly waved his hands: “No, that’s all. That’s all I know!”

Fu Xunzhou stared at him closely, his dark brown eyes looking as dark as ink because they were facing away from the sun.

"You took money to do the job, why are you suddenly telling me now?" Xiao Yue said, not asking, but mocking.

A change of heart?

She doesn't believe it.

Liu Qiao lowered his head and took out something tremblingly: "I, I am about to leave here. A few days ago, my mother heard about what I did and went to the temple to ask for divination. She said that I will have disaster in the future. I..."

oh.

Xiao Yue raised an eyebrow.

It turns out that he didn't have a change of heart, but was just afraid, and thought that he could make his conscience at ease by speaking out?

As he was thinking, Liu Qiao finally took out a tattered purse: "Madam Xiao, this is the money Zhang Mo used to bribe me. I originally wanted to keep it for marrying a wife, but now I feel that I took it because it harmed you, so I should give it to you..."

Xiao Yue was stunned. Before he could say anything, Fu Xunzhou at the side grabbed Liu Qiao away.

It was really pulled apart. The veins on his hands were bulging, but his expression remained calm and his tone was emotionless: "This is the first time I've seen someone walk into a trap with evidence."

Liu Qiao was stunned. As the light changed, he could clearly see the man's face and the official behind him, and his legs went weak instantly.

Xiao Yue was equally speechless: "...You have done something sinful, so you should bear the consequences yourself."

What the hell?

Zhang Mo paid money to bribe Liu Qiao, but in the end Liu Qiao said he wanted to give the money to the victim in order to clear his conscience?

The more Xiao Yue thought about it, the more speechless he became.

"You are really a bunch of snakes and rats!" Fang Sanhong had been holding a lot of anger for a long time, so she went up and kicked Liu Qiao twice.

Liu Qiao fell to the ground in fear, and the next second, his hands were tied with ropes.

"...It's really not a wasted trip. If you want to leave Liuyun City, come back with me to the government office for investigation." Duan Lin rolled his eyes.

It seems that there is indeed something wrong with this Jixiang Restaurant, and this person is the key witness.

After a while, Xiao Yue and his four companions returned to the yard.

Fu Xunzhou stood still, took a deep breath, and looked at her: "I will have someone investigate this matter as soon as possible, and no one who deserves punishment will escape."

Xiao Yue didn't understand what he said. He asked someone to investigate?

"Master Fu reminded me!" Duan Lin was shocked: "Madam Xiao, don't worry, I'm free these few days, I'll send someone to follow up immediately!"

Xiao Yue then realized that Fu Xunzhou was talking about Duan Lin, and the suspicion on his face disappeared.

Fu Xunzhou paused, pursed his lips and said, "Then I will leave first. If there is anything unusual in the next few days, tell me when I come back. I am close to Duan Lin's residence, so I can tell him."

"……OK."

Xiao Yue was about to say something but stopped himself until he saw Fu Xunzhou and Duan Lin leaving with a group of people, then he scratched his head.

She knew that Fu Xunzhou was probably talking about the hooligan who was looking for trouble today, so she could tell him about it.

But……

She told Fu Xunzhou, and Fu Xunzhou told Duan Lin?

Then why didn’t Xiao Yue tell Duan Lin directly? Wouldn’t it be faster and more direct to understand the situation this way?

Xiao Yue was puzzled as he listened to Fang Sanhong cursing. Naturally, he was talking about the two things that had just happened.

When Xiao Yue heard that "Zhang Mo actually used bad ingredients", his face looked a little ugly.

No wonder.

She remembered that half a month ago when she came out from the back door, she ran into Zhang Mo carrying a basket filled with dried vegetables.

It’s not that Xiao Yue wasn’t surprised, but the strange thing was that she thought it was going to be thrown away.

Unexpectedly...

But to be honest, Xiao Yue did not completely believe Liu Qiao, the psychopath who was willing to sacrifice his body for money. It was possible that he was just spreading rumors.

After all, this kind of problem is definitely a fatal blow to a restaurant.

Liu Qiao has a criminal record, so we cannot trust him 100% before the investigation results come out and there is evidence.

On the other side, Fu Xunzhou, who had returned to the mansion, was still frowning, while Duan Lin beside him didn't dare to breathe.

Fu Xunzhou walked to the study and sat down, looking through the contents of the report in the book in his hand.

"Young Master." Duan Lin poured him some tea and said, "Don't worry, if Jixiang Restaurant really used fake products, they will not let it off easily."

Fu Xunzhou asked, "Li's, the Li's on South Street?"

Duan Lin was stunned for a moment, and immediately gave an accurate answer: "I think so. There is only one Li's Restaurant on South Street in the city, and the prices are not cheap. Considering what that person said today, it must be the place he went to."

"Check it all." Fu Xunzhou said these two words in a cold voice without even raising his head.

Duan Lin replied "Yes", and before leaving, he asked again: "Sir, do you really not need me to accompany you when you go to Qingyun City this time?"

"No need." Fu Xunzhou continued to look at the report in his hand, his brows furrowed deeper the more he read.

Duan Lin had no choice but to leave the study and took a deep breath as he turned around.

Master Zheng, Jixiang Restaurant, Liu Qiao, Zhang Mo...his trip was really not in vain.
