Xia Xiaoba on the side was also giving her own suggestions. They were discussing what kind of servants they should buy for their temperament. When they were talking, they were interrupted by a burst of noise downstairs.
"My mother, what's wrong with you?" The pitiful cry of the man downstairs echoed through the entire Qionghua Building.
"Mother-in-law, wake up!" Then a woman's voice rang out, wailing loudly, "Mother-in-law! The boss and I finally made some money, and we wanted to bring you a nice meal to honor you, but why? I found out that after eating just one plate, you fell to the ground. This Qionghua Tower is killing people!"
"This man died after eating Qionghualou's food. This food is poisonous." Someone screamed loudly, and immediately the diners in the hall below started making a fuss, which became even louder, clamoring to see the shopkeeper. , to report to the official, more people asked for compensation.
The sound was so loud that it alarmed the guests in the private room on the second floor. They all came out to watch, but did not go downstairs.
"You killed my mother, and I want you to pay for it." The man who spoke first was the man who shouted. He pushed away the table in front of him, grabbed the man in front of him who was trying to persuade him, and punched him. The man was tall and thick, and he was awesome. The tall but skinny boy could not withstand his big fist. With one punch, stars appeared in his eyes and his nose bleeds.
"How can you hit someone? If you have anything to say, please speak up. Our shopkeeper will be here soon." Duan Yan supported the beaten man, not daring to face the angry man directly, and quickly took a step back.
"You killed my mother, why should I beat you?"
"Head of the family, our mother is gone, why are you being polite to them? They destroyed this black shop for me." The young woman said angrily. She was originally with the old woman, but unfortunately the old woman never woke up, so she He stood up and cursed with his fingers.
"You are a shady shop owner who has lost your good master. My mother-in-law was poisoned to death by you."
"Yes, I smashed this black shop of yours." The man said and started smashing the tables and chairs. The dishes on the table fell to the floor and broke into pieces, making a clanging sound.
"Yes, smashed it." I don't know who echoed, and four people came out and smashed things with the tall man. The rest of the diners either left the place or chose to stay and watch the fun.
By the time Xiao Ming and the others went downstairs, the hall on the first floor was already a mess. Kong Lin hadn't come yet, and Duan Yan and the waiters in the store couldn't stop them. The urgent shouts were so pale and weak, drowned in the In this noise.
"What are you doing? Stop it immediately." Xia Xiaoba shouted loudly, but it was a pity that no one paid attention to him as they were enjoying themselves.
Xia Xiaoba jumped up and subdued the tall man first, and then subdued the other four people one by one.
"If you have anything to say, please speak nicely. If we cause trouble again, I will report it to the police." Xia Xiaoba subdued several people in an instant, clapped his hands, and gave the tall man a warning look.
"Hmph, this Qionghua Building is a black shop. It poisoned my mother to death." The tall man said unconvinced, but he stood still and did not dare to move anymore. He could tell that the young man in front of him was a practitioner, and he could do it with just one move. He was subdued. Just now he punched him, but he restrained him with one palm and pushed with his backhand, twisting his hand. His arm still hurts.
"We have a doctor who will treat your mother right away. How can our food be poisonous?" Duan Yan only reacted belatedly when he saw Xiao Ming. He had been dizzy by the tall man's unreasonable troubles, so he only knew how to go and ask the young master for help. I forgot that there was a ready-made doctor in the restaurant.
"Doctor Xiao, please, please help me quickly." Duan Yan begged Xiao Ming. Qionghualou couldn't accept the accusation that the food was poisonous, otherwise there would be no customers coming to the door in the future. Not to mention the plummeting business, let alone It is possible to close down.
"What's going on?" Kong Lin hurried in, raised his feet and saw the mess all over the ground, and couldn't help asking angrily.
"Young master, you are here. They said our food was poisonous and they destroyed the store." Duan Yan cried and shouted when he saw that his young master suddenly had a backbone.
"Are you the shopkeeper? The food in your restaurant poisoned my mother, please pay me immediately." The young woman who made the trouble shouted, looking domineering. Her man was beaten just now, so she stopped because of fear. , standing next to his mother-in-law.
Kong Lin ignored it. He first clenched his fist to thank Xia Xiaoba for his help, then greeted Xiao Ming and Xiao Han, and also thought of asking Xiao Ming to take a look.
"Sister Ming, please help me take a look. I want to see if the poison in my food killed someone, or if it was a trap." Kong Lin said angrily, not believing that the food in their restaurant was poisonous. They are all picked and brought back from Xiao Ming's house every day. From loading to unloading, the whole process is done by our own people. How could it be poisonous?
Xiao Ming nodded, and Xiao Han went down the stairs at his expense, walking towards the old woman who had fainted on the ground, but was stopped by the young woman.
"Shopkeeper, are you bullying people? A little liar can treat a doctor. My mother-in-law is dead. You should pay five hundred taels of silver for the burial expenses." The young woman was a little panicked and stopped Xiao Ming from approaching. Don't When seeing a doctor, he insists that the person is dead and opens his mouth for five hundred taels.
"Yes, pay me five hundred taels of silver, otherwise I will never let this black shop of yours go." The tall man also shouted.
Kong Lin didn't understand the behavior of asking for money. He didn't treat the disease quickly but asked for money. He was obviously a blackmailer.
"My mother-in-law has been pitiful and worked hard all her life. She didn't have enough to eat or clothes to wear. We and I finally saved some money to bring her to have a nice meal to honor her, but you poisoned her to death. You are such a black-hearted shop owner. You poisoned her. People." The young woman covered her face and cried, accusing Qionghualou of poisoning the food.
There were many onlookers in the store, pointing and commenting that the food was poisonous and could kill people. Not only that, there were also many people outside the gate watching the fun.
"The doctor will tell you if it's poisonous or not. It's not you who said it." Kong Lin said with a cold face, without any intention of paying for it.
"What are you still looking at? Hurry up and get the money so that my mother can be buried in peace." The tall man snorted, still not agreeing to let Xiao Ming look at his mother.
"Shopkeeper, your family has a big business. For such a big restaurant, please give us some money so that our mother can rest in peace." The young woman begged Kong Lin, but in her eyes, a little silver was worth five hundred taels.
"Hmph, don't even think about getting a penny without showing me. Don't think that I, Qionghua Tower, am so easy to bully." Kong Lin said in a strong tone, and remained unmoved in front of her.
Talking about money made the two people who refused to see the doctor waver. In the end, the young woman compromised and said to her man: "My boss, let this little doctor show my mother. It's a pity that our mother died in an unknown way. What's the matter?" No rest.”
The young woman cried, then squatted next to the old woman, holding her mother-in-law's hand, crying with compassion: "Mom, let this little doctor take a look at you, you died so miserably."
