"I was drunk just now and I don't even remember it!" Mr. Xu cried sadly, pretending that he had been wronged.
"You just said that you want Lin Ziyi to never come back!" Xia Jin reminded.
"Did I say that?" Mr. Xu continued to pretend to be confused, his hands behind him were not idle, and he was cutting the rope bit by bit.
At this moment, footsteps were heard outside. Xia Jin grabbed Mr. Xu and dragged him behind the screen, putting a knife on his neck.
"Quiet!"
The door opened from the outside and the two of them walked in. Xia Jin could only see two pairs of boots, one black and one gray, through the screen.
"Where's the man? Didn't he say that Mr. Xu is here?" one of them said.
"Is the person you are looking for reliable? Don't give me any trouble!" The other person had a deep voice and should be an older person.
"Don't worry, sir. Mr. Xu is a local gangster in Wangxi Town. Not only that, he is also the cousin of the county magistrate. With this kind of relationship, nothing can go wrong!"
The man who was called ‘Sir’ snorted coldly:
"Lin Ziyi came to suppress the bandits, but he was stationed in the military camp to check the account books! The master said that he must not be allowed to discover the secrets above! You must handle this matter well, otherwise you are not a master, even a county official
The grandpa himself has to finish playing!"
"Don't worry, sir. I asked Mr. Xu to tamper with Lin Ziyi's food. If he eats it, he will be poisoned. When everyone is rushing to the hospital, my people will break in and steal the account book!
"
The two sat down separately, and after waiting for a while but no one came, the man called "Sir" stood up.
"I still have something to do, so I won't stay here. You must remember to do it well!"
"Don't worry, sir, I guarantee that Lin Ziyi will never come back this time!"
"Well, the matter of silence..."
"The county magistrate has already made preparations to kill his relatives out of righteousness. Let alone his cousin, even his biological brother will not hesitate to do it for the benefit of you!"
After saying that, the two of them walked out one after the other.
Seeing them going out, Xia Jin looked at Mr. Xu who was sweating profusely and said mockingly: "Have you heard what they said? If something happens to Lin Ziyi, they will kill you!"
The sweat on Mr. Xu's forehead fell drop by drop. Even though the body that bound him had been cut open by him, he didn't resist anymore.
"Tell me everything you know! Maybe I can help you!" Xia Jin said lightly.
"Help me? How do you want to help?" Mr. Xu looked at Xia Jin.
"Tell me the whole story first!"
Mr. Xu is a smart man. He could see that Xia Jin wanted to help Lin Ziyi, but she didn't know what happened. It must have been a spur-of-the-moment idea.
However, if Xia Jin could come forward to stop everything, then they wouldn't kill him and silence him!
Thinking of this, Mr. Xu's eyes flashed with a fierce look. Don't blame him for being unjust if they are unkind!
"Half a month ago, a group of caravans passed by the mountain road of Wangxi Town and were robbed of goods by a group of bandits. There was an account book in the group of goods, which recorded evidence that an official accepted bribes. Lin Ziyi accepted bribes from the emperor.
I was ordered to come here to suppress the bandits, but actually I came here to get the account books. My task is to find a way to deal with Lin Ziyi and help them get the account books."
"What's the matter with adding medicine to the food?" Xia Jin asked.
"Lin Ziyi had anorexia and his health was deteriorating. Originally, they planned to wait for him to weaken and then find a way to take back the account book. Unexpectedly, Lin Ziyi ate the food from the Food God Hall and miraculously recovered. So,
They panicked and asked me to find a way to solve this problem."
"So, you just tamper with the food?"
"That's right..."
Xia Jin left the teahouse, and the gambler Si and Third Aunt, who were hiding outside and waiting to see the joke, looked at each other and thought that Xia Jin had been defiled.
The fourth gambler chuckled: "Master Xu is really fast!"
Seeing Xia Jin leaving in such a hurry, the third aunt snorted coldly: "It's definitely not the first time that I left so fast just after finishing my work! Maybe she was selling it outside and was a good person! Otherwise, how can a woman get enough money?
restaurant!"
"That despicable girl of the Four Seasons is the only kind of master who can like her. I heard that she will give out moon silver. Let's go there next time! By the way, let this matter go out and let everyone in the town know. The God of Cookery
What kind of person is Tang’s boss!”
The two looked vicious, but this scene was clearly seen by a pair of eyes!
…
On the other hand, Xia Jin returned to the food hall and went to the counter to get money and pack a meal. She told Zhang Ma that she had something to do and hurried to the horse shop.
"Isn't this the owner of the Food God Hall? Why are you coming to my horse shop?" the boss joked.
Xia Jin took a glance and saw that the horses here were all ordinary, some were even old horses.
Finally, Xia Jin's eyes were drawn to a blindfolded horse tied to an iron cage in the innermost stable.
"I want this horse!"
"This is a wild horse. It has not been tamed yet. It is wild and cannot be ridden!"
Xia Jin secretly thought that the boss didn't know what he was doing, what kind of wild horse was this? It was clearly an excellent horse with blood!
"How much money does this horse cost?" Xia Jin asked.
The boss held out two fingers and said, "Twenty taels of silver!"
Xia Jin took out the silver and handed it to the boss. "I want it!"
"Don't blame me for not reminding you. If you break a bone while riding this horse, I won't be responsible!"
As the boss spoke, he opened the stable and ordered people to get saddles and put them on the horses.
Xia Jin took the reins, gently stroked the horse's head, and whispered into the horse's ears, "I will take you out of here, don't be afraid, don't be afraid..."
Breathing slowly and looking for an opportunity, Xia Jin stepped on the stirrups, jumped lightly and sat firmly on the saddle, tightened her legs on the groom, swung the reins, and the horse ran forward with its hooves.
This scene only made the horse shop owner stunned!
"It's strange. This horse is obviously not meant for people to ride. Why did it run away when it got here?"
Xia Jin did not dare to delay and ran towards the bandits' stronghold at full speed. She had to stop the soldiers before they delivered the food to the stronghold.
Let’s not talk about what will happen to Lin Ziyi. If Lin Ziyi eats the food in the Food God Hall and something goes wrong, everyone in the God of Food Hall, including her, will not be able to escape the involvement!
Lin Ziyi has been stationed here for many days in the cottage camp. There is no news from the bandit bird, and the most important account book is also missing!
While he was worrying about this matter, soldiers from outside the camp came in with food boxes.
"General, this is food from the Food God Hall."
"Put it on the table and get out."
The soldier bowed and retreated. Mu Gu opened the food box on the table and took out the food one by one.
"Master, please eat first and then talk about the deployment." Mu Gu advised.
The purpose of their coming to suppress the bandits was the account book, but they didn't expect that all the bandits had escaped and the account book was also gone!
Lin Ziyi had been conducting searches in nearby villages in the past few days, but he heard that a group of bald men had come to the village, but they had done nothing bad and only helped plow the fields and plant rice.
But when they went over to investigate, no one was there.
Lin Ziyi put down the map in his hand and walked to the table. Looking at the exquisite meals in the food box, the fatigue on his face seemed to have been wiped away.
"My master can't eat any other food. The ones made by Miss Du Duxia are to your liking. Why don't you just put them in the general's mansion!" Mu Gu said.
Lin Ziyi thought of the letter from the flying pigeon he received a few days ago. The old lady wanted to see her...
Lin Ziyi frowned, "Let's talk about this later."
He picked up the bowl and chopsticks, and when he was about to eat, there was a loud noise outside the door.
