Chapter 351: Corruption and Bribery



Gu Yunru's career unfortunately suffered a setback, which seemed like a heavy blow to her and made her puzzled.

Rong Zhen looked at her slightly pale little face, then he covered her small hand with his big hand, giving her a touch of warmth.

"So you two are here for this matter. It's really hard to get into Yue Man Lou. I heard that they have to screen the guests." Shen Aojun told the two what he heard. Gu Yunru was even more surprised after hearing it. "Why do they have to screen the guests? Can't those with less money get in?"

"Of course not, Kang Keren, we're just afraid that the prince's men might go in." Shen Aojun hit the nail on the head, and it made the two of them suddenly realize what was going on. No wonder there was a long queue at the door, probably half of them were there to act as agents.

"But I'm really curious about who the chef of Yue Man Lou is. The food he cooks has whetted everyone's appetite. Aojun, have you tried it?" Gu Yunru's forehead was covered with sweat. In such a hot day, so many people were willing to line up in a long queue at the door. This chef must be famous! "This chef is mysterious. He doesn't seem to be a famous chef. Otherwise, everyone would have spread the news. No one has ever seen the true face of this chef."

Shen Aojun told the two what he knew and heard. Rong Zhen's expression became a little solemn and complicated. "That means people are not going here for the cooking skills. But without seeing the food at Yue Man Lou, it's hard to draw a conclusion."

Even Rong Zhen's appetite was whetted. Gu Yunru and the other three decided that they had to queue up no matter what and asked the waiter to get the number in person. Finally, at 11 p.m., the three of them successfully entered the box and sat down.

"I'm so hungry from waiting. I wonder if they are using hunger marketing." Gu Yunru waited until her back ached, but she finally walked in.

"Excuse me, my three guests, what would you like to eat?" The waiter was running out of breath, but his tone was still steady, which must have required some internal strength.

Rong Zhen looked directly at the signature dishes hanging on the wall, "Give me a plate of each, and a jar of good wine."

"yes."

When the waiter saw the silver ingot on the table, his eyes lit up and he left quickly.

"Master...Wang, why did you order so much? I'm afraid the three of us together can't finish it." Shen Aojun's forehead was covered with sweat. It was almost dark, but the flow of customers here did not decrease at all. There was a line from morning to night, and there were no repeated faces among the people in the line.

"See if there are any special features in this dish." Rong Zhen began to have doubts about the dishes. The first dish, sheep's head lion, was served. It was a lion's head carved out of green vegetables and radishes, with some shrimps and minced garlic in it, and some purple flower eggs sprinkled around. Such a plate cost fifteen taels of silver, and the cost was only a few cents.

Gu Yunru took a spoon and scooped a small spoonful of tofu. He opened the tofu and found some minced meat inside. He put his nose close to it and smelled it. It was just a very ordinary sheep-head lion. He didn't expect the price here to be so expensive and so many people were flocking to it. There must be something fishy here.

"It tastes sweet and aftertastes, not bad, a bit like Hunan cuisine." Shen Aojun took a small bite and gave a fair evaluation.

Gu Yunru took a small box and put a little bit of each dish in it and took it back. She studied it carefully to find out what was inside.

"Yunru, there are waiters guarding outside. There is a rule here that you cannot take the food back." Shen Aojun reminded her carefully. She packed up the dishes in such a conspicuous way and had to be inspected at the door. If anyone took the food out, the consequences would be terrible.

"No way..." Gu Yunru was feeling proud, but her words completely dampened his pride. He rolled his eyes and thought of a way to have the best of both worlds.

"A Zhao, go downstairs and let me pack the things and throw them down."

Rong Zhen's face darkened, and he thought it was unnecessary to be so complicated, so he just picked up the things and flew away from the window. Gu Yunru saw him fly from the window to the eaves like a kite, and swallowed silently, she forgot that Rong Zhen's kung fu should not be underestimated.

"Yun Ru, let's leave now."

"Um."

They returned to the palace, and Gu Yunru began to place the dishes on the table, attracting Dahei. Dahei jumped aside and made a humming sound, as if he was about to drool.

"Dahei, Dahei, I usually cook delicacies for you but you don't eat them. This time I brought some leftovers and you are so excited." Gu Yunru looked at the big black dog helplessly and began to decompose the food and do chemical experiments.

The next morning, Shen Aojun came to visit her, but he didn't expect that she was almost asleep in the chair. He walked over and gently pushed her arm, feeling amused.

"Yunru, wake up quickly, how is the experiment going?" Shen Aojun heard her talk excitedly about doing some scientific experiment last night, just to see what ingredients were contained in it.

Gu Yunru raised the back of her hand and rubbed her sleepy eyes. If she hadn't arrived early in the morning, she would probably have slept until the sun was high in the sky.

"It's almost done, almost done. By the way, I found something special inside." Gu Yunru said, and wrapped the small piece of tofu with paper. "What?"

Shen Aojun stared at the piece of tofu curiously. He tried the dishes at Yuemanlou yesterday and they didn't have any special taste.

"It contains a kind of licorice. If this licorice is cooked with a strong fire, it will make people addicted, or even obsessed. It is harmful to the human body if taken for a long time. I must report this matter to the government immediately. Yue Man Lou will definitely be closed down."

"Okay, I'll go with you."

That evening, after Kang Keren heard the news that Yuemanlou had been sealed off, she was so angry that she smashed the vases and utensils in the house. The maid next to her was timid and did not dare to step forward to persuade her.

"Damn it! Gu Yunru! You must go against me, right?!" Kang Keren roared hysterically, biting her lower lip tightly, looking like she had used up all her strength.

She just threw a vase and it happened to hit Huang Zijun's feet. Seeing Huang Zijun's stunned look, she calmed down and sat aside, but the hatred and bloodthirsty sharp look in her eyes had not yet dissipated.

"You all go down first."

"yes."

After seeing the servants leave, Huang Zijun walked to her side calmly and put his hand on her shoulder, "I know everything about Yue Man Lou, I have asked the shopkeeper and the chef there to take care of this matter.

The government won't investigate you, but I came to see you for another matter."
