Such an incident occurred just one day after the opening of the "Number One Restaurant Under Heaven." If this matter escalates, it will undoubtedly have a significant impact on the restaurant.
Nan Zhi also knows that for a company, reputation is the most important thing.
If this matter is not resolved perfectly today, the restaurant's business will definitely be affected.
The couple must have been instructed to come here today.
The man on the ground is having an epileptic seizure, but if he can get through this, he'll be lively and energetic again.
Nanzhi looked at the woman and said, "Others can eat it without any problems, but your husband fell to the ground after eating it. I'm starting to suspect that you two were instructed by someone to come and cause trouble at my restaurant."
As expected, the woman opposite Nanzhi became visibly nervous as soon as she finished speaking.
“You’re talking nonsense!” the woman retorted. “We need to frame someone.”
Nan Zhi chuckled softly, and the woman, hearing this, felt even more flustered.
Could it be that she already knows?
Impossible, they met alone, how could she know?
Thinking of this, the woman's eyes became noticeably more determined.
Nanzhi thought to herself: She's quite clever.
That's all.
Nanzhi didn't give her a chance to refute, "You're saying your husband became like this because he ate the food at the restaurant?"
That's it.
Nanzhi smiled upon receiving an affirmative answer. "But according to my examination just now, your husband is clearly ill, which is why he is foaming at the mouth. This illness is epilepsy, a common condition."
An old man's voice could be heard clearly from the crowd: "So that's how it is. No wonder it looked a bit like that."
The old man pointed at the man on the ground, "There's one in our village. He's usually like nothing's wrong, but when he gets sick, he has convulsions all over his body and foams at the mouth, just like this young master."
"So that's how it is..."
If one person believes, more people will believe.
Moreover, in this era, epilepsy is an uncommon but well-known disease.
I've heard of this disease, but I've never seen it in its symptoms.
After the old man said that, everyone felt that it looked more and more like the real thing.
"How can you be so sure this is epilepsy? What if you're trying to fool us?" another voice rang out from the crowd.
“It’s all because of their restaurant. My husband was perfectly fine, how could he suddenly fall ill?” The lady pointed at Nanzhi. “It’s all because of them.”
Tears will only fall when you see the coffin.
Nan Zhi: "Madam, according to the laws of the Great Central Court, framing someone is punishable by fifty strokes of the cane and a fine of twenty taels of silver."
"You say this is your husband, but do you know his name, where he lives, or what his surname is?"
“I see that you are dressed in fine clothes, unlike ordinary people. But your complexion is sallow and your hair is dry. How could a lady from a normal wealthy family look like this? If I’m not mistaken, your hands should have a thick layer of calluses.”
The woman quickly hid her hands behind her back.
Namgyal pressed her advantage, saying, "These characteristics are only seen in people who suffer, especially farmers."
Upon hearing this, Liu Dezhi immediately ordered his men to forcibly pry the woman's hand back.
Sure enough, the woman's hands were covered with crisscrossing scars, and there was a thick layer of calluses in the center of her palms.
Women from wealthy families have maids and servants to serve them, so they don't know how to do chores themselves.
Nan Zhi: "Tell me honestly, who sent you to frame our restaurant?"
The woman visibly panicked, "You're lying, I didn't do it."
Her eyes were unfocused and shifty; one look at her and you could tell something was amiss.
“If you confess honestly, we can give you a lighter punishment. If you don’t, we’ll go to the county magistrate and ask him to defend us.”
Nan Zhi nodded; what Liu Dezhi said was exactly what she wanted to say.
"Still not going to talk?" Nan Zhi said, "Think about it, that person gave you money to ruin our restaurant's reputation, but think about it, if we report you to the authorities, will either of you still be able to get out?"
The woman was terrified, her hands clenched tightly in her sleeves.
Nanzhi pressed her advantage: "Is it worth risking the rest of your life for that little bit of money?"
Upstairs, Wang Yushu clapped his hands happily, "Great! Well said!"
He Xiucheng smiled and said, "Winning over people's hearts, not bad, not bad."
The farce downstairs continues.
After careful consideration, the woman finally compromised.
The man lying on the ground wasn't her man at all; she had just met him by chance.
Just then, someone came to their door and asked them to cause a scene at the No. 1 Restaurant in the world. After thinking about it, the two agreed, thinking that for that little bit of money, they would do it.
That's why we have this situation today.
As for the other party's name...
The two teamed up on the spot and knew nothing about each other. They just lay there and let the other make up stories.
The two thought they had covered their tracks perfectly, but they were eventually exposed.
Liu Dezhi: "Master, I sent someone to inquire, and it was someone from Chen Quan's side."
Meeting his master's dangerous gaze, Liu Dezhi felt a chill run down his spine.
He thought to himself, "Chen Quan is going to be in trouble now."
————
After the restaurant burned down, Chen Quan stayed home for several days to fully recover from his illness.
The men they sent to cause trouble at the restaurant were instead taken to the authorities by the people of the "Number One Restaurant Under Heaven".
The No. 1 Restaurant in the World is open for business as usual, and it is bustling with customers, far more than the previous restaurants.
Even if he wanted to rebuild a restaurant, it would be far from reaching the scale of the number one restaurant in the world.
Instead, they will be oppressed by the number one building in the world.
This fire was a classic case of "losing both wife and army".
"Chen Quan!"
Chen Quanzhen was lying in his concubine's arms when he heard a loud shout outside the door.
The familiar voice made Chen Quan stand up instinctively.
"Impossible," he thought.
How did that woman end up here?
The reality was not as he expected.
The woman who entered was Li Fu'er.
