It didn't take long for the lobby of the Medicinal Hot Pot Restaurant to become commotion.
A man with a wrinkled face was lying on the ground, holding his stomach and screaming non-stop.
"Look at what kind of overnight food you sell in this hot pot restaurant, overnight scum, and it made my father eat like this. If you don't give me an explanation today, we will go to the officials."
Brother Zhan stood in front of Cuizhu with a sullen face.
Since the store has been open for so long, things like this have happened frequently.
But it was the first time for people like them to lie on the ground after entering and blatantly say that there was something wrong with the products in this store.
"Brother, since you said that your dad got sick after eating food from our hot pot restaurant, how long did your dad eat hot pot?"
The young man blurted out: "This morning!"
Unexpectedly, the old man on the ground said: "Last night!"
As if they sensed something was wrong, the two of them quickly changed their stories, saying that what they said last night became this morning, and what they said was this morning became last night.
The matter has come to this, and the people watching are still confused.
Brother Zhan had a cold face and grinned in anger.
"I'm telling you, you two are so good at talking smoothly. Anyone who has ever been to our hotpot restaurant doesn't know that we only sell hotpot at noon and afternoon, not in the morning or evening."
The young man and the old man on the ground obviously didn't expect this. Their expressions suddenly changed, and they began to calculate profound moves.
Before the two of them could speak again, Cuizhu walked up to Brother Zhan with a gloomy face.
"Two guests, since you are so dissatisfied with the food in the store and believe that you have eaten the wrong thing, may I ask, what kind of dishes did you eat in our hot pot restaurant?"
Cuizhu looked at the two people in front of him slyly, then turned around and gave Brother Zhan a reassuring look.
She determined that these two people had never eaten anything from their hot pot restaurant and were simply arranged to cause trouble.
As expected, when her question was asked, both of them were speechless.
"Tell me what you two are saying! Since I can't tell you why, I'll treat you as a false accusation."
Their faces turned pale, and when they were about to say something more to defend themselves, Cuizhu had already called out all the slaves.
"Someone is here, drive these two troublemakers out."
The troublemaker was kicked out, and Cuizhu immediately arranged for a more lively and clever boy to follow behind.
Not long after, the boy came back and reported his findings.
Cuizhu gloomily wrote a letter to Han Yiyun in Huangbei.
After Han Yiyun read what Cuizhu said in the letter, he was so angry that he wanted to twist his eyebrows and nose together.
"What does this old guy want to do? Why does he send people to cause trouble in our shop?"
Zhan Qingyue gently held Han Yiyun's shoulders and frowned slightly.
"Brother Han, since Cuizhu has settled this matter, don't be angry. I guess Han Junsheng is here for you. The more anxious you are, the more ways he can manipulate you."
Han Yiyun felt a little relieved after listening to her comfort. Before the two of them could come up with a countermeasure, there was an urgent knock on the study door.
"Sir, madam! There is a letter from the Zhan family in Jingcheng."
Zhan Qingyue and Han Yiyun looked at each other. The Zhan family in Jingcheng was just talking about their own family!
The two of them quickly stood up and opened the door, only to see the people from the government office leading Xiao Ding, the entourage next to Brother Zhan, standing at the door.
When Xiao Ding saw Zhan Qingyue, he knelt down with a plop.
"Girl, uncle! Something happened at home. The second master and second wife were framed for poisoning the eldest princess. They are now in prison at Dali Temple."
When Zhan Qingyue heard the news, she felt her head buzzing. If Han Yiyun hadn't helped her up in time, she might have lost her balance and fell to the ground.
"Yueyue, don't be anxious. Let's figure it out first. What's going on? Xiao Ding, tell us everything you know."
When Xiao Ding heard this, he burst into tears and told everything about what happened in the capital.
At first, there were just two people who made trouble on the pretext of being hungry at the hot pot restaurant, but Cuizhu took care of them.
This is the same as the letter sent by Cuizhu.
But I didn't expect that not long after, the eldest princess came to the store to eat. While eating, she foamed at the mouth and fainted.
Now the Yaoshan Ge Hot Pot Restaurant has been sealed, and Brother Zhang and his wife have also entered the prison of Dali Temple.
"False accusation, this is simply a false accusation!"
Han Yiyun slapped his hand on the desk.
Zhan Qingyue was so anxious that she quickly asked for an order to return to Beijing.
The letter requesting the imperial edict was rushed to the palace for 800 miles.
However, the Holy One directly rejected her request.
Zhan Qingyue's face turned even more ugly when she learned the news.
In order to wait for the decree, she had not slept well for three days, and now she was waiting for the news of rejection. This was unbearable.
Zhan Qingyue frowned so much that she could pinch a fly and walked around the study.
"That old guy Han Junsheng! What on earth does he want to do? Does he want to kill our whole family before he gives up?"
Han Yiyun cursed fiercely. If it weren't for his self-cultivation, he would have smashed the cup in his hand.
"Brother Han, this matter is not simple. I'm afraid Han Junsheng is not the only one behind this. We have many enemies in the capital. Those who don't like us may take this opportunity to step on us."
When Han Yiyun heard this, he fell silent.
He thought that as long as he had enough power, he could protect himself and the people around him, but he never thought that even his own father would attack him now.
Just when the two of them were anxious and overwhelmed, three nightingales suddenly came from outside the window.
Han Yiyun hurriedly opened the window, only to see six people wearing stars and moons rushing towards him. His head was covered with water drops, making it difficult to tell whether they were sweat or dew.
"Master Zhan County, Mr. Han, my master has some news."
As he spoke, he took out a piece of brown paper from his arms and handed it to the two of them.
"Master said that there are other arrangements in the capital. You two don't have to worry. The Zhang family will be fine."
Zhan Qingyue and Han Yiyun looked at each other, and the worries they had had over the past few days turned into spring breeze and disappeared under his calm tone.
Zhan Qingyue finally had a little smile on her tired face.
She bowed to Cheng Liu and said, "Thank you, Brother Six, for traveling all the way here, and thank you, His Highness King Cheng, for protecting my family."
While the three of them were discussing the situation in the capital, the indigenous tribes on the outer edge of the deserted north had been bribed by Prince Jing with a large sum of money, and were now burning, killing, and looting in the deserted north.
Many residents who could not escape had died in the fighting. Those who were lucky enough to escape ran desperately to the deserted northern city.
It didn't take long for the news to evaporate, covering the entire Wild North.
