It's the man in white whom I just met in the tavern.
He came out of the drug store, holding a bag of medicine in his hand, looking nervous and walking in a hurry.
Xia Jin looked back at him.
"Miss?" Siji called.
Xia Jin came to her senses and handed the prescription she had written in advance to the medicine doctor. After taking a look, the medicine doctor pointed at the "Indigo Flower" and said:
"A customer just bought all the indigo flowers, so we can't catch this medicinal material for the time being."
"Then prepare all the other medicines first." Xia Jin said.
Not long after, the medicine doctor grabbed the medicine and handed it to Xia Jin. The medicines Xia Jin grabbed were all medicines that could be bought on a daily basis. The prices of some herbs were on the high side, but they were not rare.
Only the indigo flowers are missing.
I went to several drug stores and they all said that the indigo flowers had been bought by someone.
It doesn't matter if you don't have all the medicinal materials. Since the medicine shop doesn't have them, go to the mountains to collect them. Xia Jin remembers that there are some indigo flowers growing in the back hills of the suburbs.
After giving the purchased medicinal materials to Siji to take back, Xia Jin walked towards the suburbs...
At the same time, all the indigo flowers in the city were purchased in the warehouse of the Prime Minister's Mansion. The reason why he bought so many indigo flowers was because a special guest was coming today.
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw someone walking in. When he saw who it was, Prime Minister Qu greeted him.
"Young Master Dongmen, please come inside!"
Prime Minister Qu welcomed Dongmen Yan into the room and sat down, and said enthusiastically: "I heard that Young Master Dongmen has been collecting indigo flowers recently. I have already asked someone to prepare a carriage. I am just waiting for Young Master Dongmen to return.
It’s time to take it away together!”
Dongmen Yan, the eldest son of the head of the Dongmen family, is also the unofficial heir of the family.
The future will be limitless, and it is precisely because of this that Prime Minister Qu flatters him so much.
"I appreciate Prime Minister Qu's kindness. I will take Qingdai Hua with her when she leaves. In fact, I came here today because I have something I want to ask about clearly," Dongmen Yan said.
"Young Master Dongmen, just ask, and I will tell you everything you know!" Prime Minister Qu said.
"On my way to the capital, I heard some gossip about the assassination of my second uncle." Dongmen Yan looked at Prime Minister Qu.
Qu Rongjie, who was waiting beside Prime Minister Qu, frowned slightly...
"Those gossips are all based on rumors and cannot be trusted!" Qu Rongjie said.
"Who is this?" Dongmenyan looked at Qu Rongjie.
"This is the child Qu Rongjie." Prime Minister Qu introduced.
Dongmenyan only glanced at it and then looked away, and continued to ask: "They said that Zhang Heng was not the real murderer! There is another murderer!"
Prime Minister Qu, who had worked hard in the court to reach his current position, how could he not see through his mind? He just wanted to test him and see if there was another real culprit!
Since he thinks so, why not just go with the flow!
Thinking of this, Prime Minister Qu pretended to be helpless and said: "Actually, those rumors are true. Zhang Heng is indeed not the murderer who killed the second master. The real murderer is still at large!"
"Who is the murderer?" Dongmen Qian looked at him.
"The second boss died in the Food God Hall, and he died during a competition at the Food Festival. The only possibility is that the murderer is Xia Jin, the owner of the rival God of Food Hall!"
"At the time of the incident, the truth was investigated and the emperor agreed to send the person to the Dongmen family. Unexpectedly, Lin Ziyi tried his best to protect her and even found someone to plead guilty on her behalf!"
Having said this, Prime Minister Qu sighed, looking helpless.
"Lin Ziyi is in charge of the army and horses. I am just a civil servant and cannot defeat him! I originally wanted to make the decision for the second master, but I found that I was powerless... How ashamed!"
Speaking of the emotional part, Prime Minister Qu pulled up his sleeves and wiped away his tears.
"The Food God Hall is so majestic! I want to see it!"
Dongmenyan stood up, his soft face became a little colder, turned around and walked out.
"Young Master Dongmen, you'd better not go. The God of Cookery has backers, and each one is more arrogant than the other!" Prime Minister Qu stood at the door and shouted.
And these words obviously had an effect. Dongmenyan became more and more angry and his steps became a little faster!
Seeing that he angrily went to the Food God Hall to make trouble, Qu Rongjie, who was standing aside, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I still have a solution!"
Prime Minister Qu touched his beard and said calmly: "You still have a lot to learn! Don't do everything yourself in the future. If you want to kill people, why bother doing it yourself!"
"Dad is right, Dongmen Yan is here this time, let's see how Xia Jin escapes!"
As the sky darkened, Xia Jin hurried back in front of the city gate and brought two indigo flowers. She originally wanted to collect more, but she didn't have enough time, and the area seemed to have been picked by others, so she could find a lot.
few.
Fortunately, I found two plants which were barely enough!
Next, all he needs to do is go back and refine the medicine for Lu Yi.
When Xia Jin returned to the Food Hall, the store door was still open. Xia Jin walked in and saw everyone standing with nervous expressions on their faces.
"What's wrong with you?" Xia Jin walked in.
"Master!" Qin Hao'ou took Xia Jin's arm and motioned her to look at the man in white sitting by the window.
"I went to investigate and found out that he is Dongmen Yan, the young master of the Dongmen family! He definitely has bad intentions when he comes to the Food God Hall, so master, be careful!"
Something was wrong in the restaurant, so Qin Haoou hurried back to investigate, and when the investigation was completed, he rushed to the Food God Hall.
Unexpectedly, Xia Jin didn't wait, but Dongmen Yan came!
"We meet again!" Xia Jin walked over and sat opposite him.
"Are you the owner of the Food God Hall?" Dongmenyan looked at Xia Jin.
"Young Master Dongmen came to the shop, are you here to eat, or are you here to discuss cooking techniques?" Xia Jin asked.
"neither!"
"The Young Master of the East Gate is here, what do you do for me?" Xia Jin looked at him with a smile.
"Did you kill Dongmen Qian?" He answered the question.
"No." Xia Jin shook his head.
Dongmenyan looked at Xia Jin's eyes, as if he wanted to see the lies in them, but her eyes were as clean as spring water, so bright that they reflected Dongmenyan's shadow...
Dongmenyan thought he could detect someone's heart by looking at their eyes, but he couldn't see through the person in front of him...
"On the day of the food festival, something unexpected happened to my second uncle. The competition on that day does not count! I decided to have a separate competition with the Food God Hall to determine the outcome of the food festival!" Dongmenyan said.
"Okay!" Xia Jin replied.
"You answered so simply, aren't you afraid of losing to me?" Dongmenyan looked at her with a half-smile.
"Young Master Dongmen, you have to work hard, don't lose the Dongmen family's brand name!" Xia Jin replied in the same tone.
After saying that, Xia Jin looked at the sky.
"The competition will be held in three days!"
"good!"
Dong Menyan walked out of the Food God Hall and got on the carriage he came from. His follower Tian Jiu asked in confusion:
"Young Master, do you still want to arrest him?"
They came here to capture Xia Jin, but the young master changed his mind?
"The competition will end in three days. It's not too late to catch him again..." He turned to look at the setting sun on the horizon.
The Dongmen family can’t lose in cooking!
He will investigate the truth clearly. If it is the God of Food who did it, after winning the competition, he will make the God of Food disappear in the capital!
