Chapter 320: It must be exciting to see this dog fighting!
Magistrate Zhao could no longer contain his excitement. In his eyes, the Mingyue Restaurant was a stepping stone to his career advancement. If he could just rush in and capture the man, he could be transferred directly to the Imperial City. Who wouldn't be desperate to get into the Imperial City? Who would want to stay out there and be a mediocre official?
"Master, what are you afraid of? This guy must be in there. He can't run away. They have nowhere to hide. We have people all around them. They can't deny it even if they want to. Zhang Da, call the brothers and rush in! Whoever can catch him first will be rewarded handsomely."
"Yes, sir!"
“Charge!”
A group of officials dressed in the official uniforms of the Great Zhou Kingdom, upon hearing that there was a huge reward, rushed in recklessly like flies smelling a cracked egg. The people blocking the door of the restaurant, upon seeing this, stopped trying to stop them and simply stepped aside to let them in.
Magistrate Zhao, who was following behind, took one look and laughed heartily, stroking his beard. "Master, did you see that? In the territory under my jurisdiction, even the most ruthless person would have to get out of the way if they saw us."
After seeing this scene, the lawyer's heart became more and more uneasy, but as the lawyer of County Magistrate Zhao, he could only follow silently, hoping that his worries were unnecessary!
After County Magistrate Zhao and the legal advisor came in, the people standing at the door of Mingyue Restaurant quickly closed the door without saying a word. After closing the door, they didn't go anywhere, just stood there at the door, as if letting them run away.
"Click—"
The bad premonition in the lawyer's heart suddenly became stronger. Seeing that the momentum of those people had changed suddenly, his steps became a little weak, and he mechanically followed County Magistrate Zhao inside.
County Magistrate Zhao didn't feel much when he saw the door closed. He just thought that the restaurant closed the door for the sake of its reputation. After all, it would be terrible if people outside saw them harboring spies from the Jinyu Kingdom.
The shopkeeper and Xiaowu were standing in the corridor on the second floor, looking down. When they saw County Magistrate Zhao rushing in with his men, they both laughed at his arrogant expressions.
This dog must be very exciting to fight!
"Where are the people? Call your boss out quickly!" The officers walked around the lobby on the first floor and only found a few waiters and kitchen workers. Even the chef was not there, so they shouted and asked them.
Most of the people in Mingyue Restaurant were sent by Prince Xiao's Mansion, and a very small number of them were recruited locally. Therefore, when they saw the faces of the officials, few of them were afraid. When they heard the officials shouting, they lowered their heads and said nothing. Just shout, preferably until their throats are hoarse.
Xiao Wu watched Magistrate Zhao's eyes darting around, and exchanged a glance with the shopkeeper. "The Queen said to beat the dog, so we'll do as the Queen wishes. The Queen is delicate, so don't spill blood."
"Don't worry, Miss Xiaowu! You don't have to do it yourself. Just leave it to us. We are familiar with these jobs." The shopkeeper was also a wonderful person. He raised his hand and a wooden stick as thick as an arm appeared in his hand. The wooden stick looked like the one used to beat dogs in the backyard of the kitchen.
As soon as the shopkeeper showed his weapons, his subordinates immediately understood. They didn't know where they got them from, but in a blink of an eye, everyone was holding weapons. Some were kitchen knives, some were machetes, and some were brooms. In short, the weapons were varied, but the momentum was scary enough!
County Magistrate Zhao did not expect that the people from Mingyue Restaurant would dare to bring weapons, and he was frightened for a moment.
