Xia Jin turned around and saw a man in a white gown looking at each other. His hair was half tied up in a bun, leaving only a handful hanging from his forehead to his chin. His bright peach blossom eyes were clear and bright.
The straight bridge of his nose, his thin lips with distinct peaks, and the upward curve of the corners of his mouth made him look very approachable.
Paired with this unassuming touch of white, the man looks as smooth as jade, and as if the spring breeze is blowing on his face, making people want to get closer to him!
"Master, are you interested in Zhang Heng's affairs?" Qin Hao'ou asked.
The man in white looked at Zhang Heng who was on the execution platform and said, "I'm just curious about what the young master said just now. Isn't the evidence of the crime conclusive? Why did the young master just say that Zhang Heng took the blame?"
"You don't know this, but it's actually from Xuerong City..." Qin Hao'ou was just about to say it when Xia Jin coughed lightly and winked at Qin Hao'ou.
With such a big thing happening, Li Xiaotian must have sent someone here to keep an eye on it. Maybe there is an informant of his in this tavern. If he talks too much, he will be killed!
Qin Haoou saw Xia Jin's expression, so he picked up the tea and drank it.
Xia Jin looked at the man in white and said, "Let me explain in detail!"
"All ears!" The man in white looked at Xia Jin with a smile.
Xia Jin looked out the window at the chicken stall and asked, "Look, there are chicken feathers on the ground beside the chicken stall, and there is a slaughtered chicken on the chopping board. Who do you think killed this chicken?"
"The vendor at the chicken stall killed him," the man in white replied.
Xia Jin shook his head, "That's not right!"
The man in white was confused, "Did someone else kill him?"
Xia Jin pointed to the knife on the chopping board, "It was the knife that killed him!"
"The knife doesn't move on its own, isn't this nonsense!" the attendant in blue beside the man in white retorted.
The man in white raised his hand to signal him to be quiet, then looked down thoughtfully, "I understand!"
He glanced meaningfully at the execution platform above and led his entourage out of the tavern.
Seeing him leaving, Qin Haoou asked: "Master, didn't you see something?"
"I've seen the badges they wear on their waists on the imperial chef of the East Gate," Xia Jin said.
Qin Hao'ou's eyes widened, "They are from the Dongmen family!"
"Shh, keep your voice down!"
While he was talking, the execution began on the execution platform. The executioner brought a knife and wanted to cut off Zhang Heng's flesh piece by piece until he was dead, and then chopped off his head.
This kind of punishment is extremely cruel. In order to prevent him from screaming, his mouth will be blocked in advance.
At this moment, an arrow flew over and hit Zhang Heng directly between his eyebrows!
Zhang Heng was killed on the spot. For a moment, the scene was in chaos, and soldiers scattered in search of the murderer.
On the third floor of the tavern, Xia Jin looked at the roof in the distance and saw a black shadow disappearing.
"Who is he?" Qin Hao'ou asked.
"It should be someone from Xuerong City, come here and give Zhang Heng a good time," Xia Jin said.
"What a disaster, Xuerong City is unlucky enough for this matter. It was obviously not them who killed him, but now he has to find someone to take the blame!" Qin Hao'ou complained.
"It should have been calculated long ago, and it's hard to guard against..."
Xia Jin frowned. This incident made her wary!
If she guessed correctly, the Food Festival invited the second master Dongmen Qian to participate in the food festival, the hiring of murderers to drag down the eldest son Li Feng of Xuerong City, and the murder case in the Food God Hall were all plotted by Qu Rongjie in order to kill her.
The trap!
If Lin Ziyi hadn't asked her to pretend to be pregnant as an excuse to refuse the marriage with Prime Minister Qu, disrupting his rhythm, she might have fallen into the trap according to Qu Yujie's plan!
Qu Rongjie is not as easy to deal with as he looks on the surface!
His city is very deep!
"let's go……"
Xia Jin walked out of the tavern. The Meridian Gate was in chaos now. It would be better to leave as soon as possible.
Qin Hao'ou was worried all the way. When he reached the intersection of the Food God Hall, he said he had to go back to Desheng Tower because he had something to do.
Xia Jin left him alone and then returned to the Food God Hall.
As soon as they entered, they saw Lu Yi sitting on the first floor by the window drinking tea. His eyes were blank, as if he was thinking about something and was lost in thought.
"Green!" Xia Jin walked over and sat opposite him.
Lu Yi came back to her senses, looked at Xia Jin, and said politely, "Miss Xia."
"You don't need to be so polite here, and you don't need to salute! I just saw that you were thinking about something. Is there anything that is troubling you?" Xia Jin asked.
Based on her intuition, Lu Yi must be hiding something from her.
However, this involved his privacy, and it was not easy for Xia Jin to interfere. After all, Xia Jin agreed to rescue him, and he also gave corresponding clues, so it was considered an equal deal.
At this moment, Lu Yi looked lonely and pale, and with his long hair as straight as a waterfall, his whole person exuded a fragile beauty, which only made the passing diners couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
Luyi is indeed the number one piano player of Yazhuxuan. This expression and charm are so beautiful that both men and women can take advantage of!
"I have nowhere to go now. I wonder if Miss Xia is willing to take me in?" Luyi looked at Xia Jin with an expression that was almost pleading.
Xia Jin glanced at the empty counter in the food hall. The cashier took leave and returned to his hometown. Now Zhang Ma is temporarily in charge of the cashier.
Zhang’s mother’s head has become a chicken coop and she hasn’t done any calculations clearly yet. She is still groping at the counter trying to figure out how to type the abacus.
Right now she happens to be short of a bookkeeper.
"Can you settle accounts?" Xia Jin asked.
"Of course!" A smile appeared on Lu Yi's face.
He knew that Xia Jin asked this question, which meant that he could stay!
"Until the original accountant comes back, how about you stay here and replace the accountant? I will pay you the same as the original accountant!"
"good!"
Luyi stood up, and without Xia Jin saying anything, he walked to the counter and took the account from Zhang's mother that he had been unable to calculate clearly all morning and the account book that had been thrown across the table and became increasingly confusing as the calculations became more and more confusing.
I saw his slender fingers moving the beads, and the rhythmic sound was pleasant to the ears.
As expected of a luthier, he can play a pleasant rhythm even with an abacus!
However, Lu Yi's body made Xia Jin a little worried...
Yesterday I felt his pulse and found that he was poisoned, and it was a chronic poison that required long-term antidote to relieve the poison.
Since he was saved, he stayed as the accountant and was considered a member of the Food God Hall.
As Xia Jin's subordinate, she would naturally not let him die of poisoning. After all, Xia Jin's treatment of employee welfare is absolutely good, and ensuring personal safety is definitely the first priority.
After looking at the sky, it was still early, so Xia Jin decided to go to the pharmacy, grab some medicine, and make a batch of antidote pills for him.
After explaining what happened in the Food God Hall, Xia Jin went to the pharmacy across the street to grab some medicine, and Siji came with Xia Jin.
"Miss, do you really want to keep the green clothes?"
Si Ji is a little worried. After all, Xia Jin snatched the person back. If he is discovered, he doesn't know what trouble will be caused.
Especially that Tan Zhimin is not a good person.
Siji is worried and Xia Jin understands that after all, Tan Zhimin is indeed a trouble.
"Let's put this matter aside for now and save people later!"
If you ignore him and let him leave, he will either be pulled back by Tan Zhimin and beaten to death, or he will be poisoned and die suddenly.
While talking, I arrived at the door of the drug store and bumped into an acquaintance as soon as I entered.
