"Officials are investigating the case, get out of my way!"
A group of officials, armed with swords and wearing yamen uniforms, saw a crowd of people blocking their way at the entrance of Jinghuayuan Snack Shop, and immediately shouted at them to make way.
"Miss Yuan, is this the place?"
Lin Mu, the head constable of Fufeng County, stood hunched over beside Yuan Qiu in a servile manner.
"Yes, Mirror Flower Snacks."
Yuan Qiu smiled and glanced at the eye-catching shop sign in front of him with contempt.
"Come here, the things in this store are poisonous and have caused great harm to many people. Now follow me in and arrest them immediately."
"Yes, boss!"
Hua Qingcheng, who was pushed to the door by the crowd in the store, suddenly had a cold look in her eyes when she saw the officers rushing into her store aggressively, and a woman dressed in crimson and purple clothes, holding a folding fan and looking arrogant.
"I wonder what brings you all to our shop with all this fanfare?"
Hua Qingcheng said coldly to everyone.
"Hmph, so you're the owner of this store. We received a report that many people have been poisoned and even died from eating food from your store, so we came here specifically to arrest you!"
"Oh? Poisoned? Dead? How come I didn't know?"
Hua Qingcheng narrowed her cold eyes slightly, raised the corners of her lips, and looked at the person who came with a smile.
"Could it be that you are talking about them?"
Hua Qingcheng raised her hand and pointed behind her, and the official and Yuan Qiu's eyes immediately followed the direction she pointed.
What Yuan Qiu didn't expect was that the "poisoned" men who should have been staggering and looking "painful" were all gathered in front of the counter in high spirits.
"Please, Great Doctor Han, please give us a prescription!"
"Yes, miracle doctor, do you think I can be saved?"
"Money is not a problem, as long as the miracle doctor can cure my illness!"
"Yes, the most important thing is to stay alive."
…
"Excuse me, have you gotten poisoned after eating something from the shop?"
Hua Qingcheng glanced at the officer dimly, then asked the crowd surrounding Han Yichen in a stern voice.
"No, no."
"We were just joking!"
"Yes, we are not poisoned."
…
"Well, as you can see, they are all doing fine. If you don't have anything else to do, take care."
"Perhaps they were only slightly poisoned and are now recovered. Someone saw three of you die here. Could it be that you hid the bodies?"
Yuan Qiu glared at Hua Qingcheng with sinister eyes. She didn't know what tricks they had played to scare the people she had brought in so that they turned against her in the middle of a battle.
"Three people died?"
"Are you talking about those crazy people outside?"
Hua Qingcheng put on a forced smile and pointed at the three unrecognizable people outside the store.
The effect of the drug lasted about a quarter of an hour. The three people who came to their senses were embarrassed and annoyed. They stayed in the corner silently and dared not say a word.
"You're so cruel!"
Seeing this, Yuan Qiu could only return with his men in defeat again.
Hua Qingcheng looked at Yuan Qiu and the officials who left angrily with a cold look in her eyes.
It is not polite to go without coming back; it is also not polite to come without going back.
