The next day, the news of Li Dacai's execution was posted on a notice board in Liuxi Town. For a while, the whole Wangxi Town was discussing the matter.
"Have you heard? Li Dacai was secretly executed last night!"
"Didn't you say that we want Li Dacai to confess the instigation behind it?"
"Looking at the notice, it says that Li Dacai said he was bribed because he was greedy for money."
"Really or not, I always feel that things are not that simple!"
"Hey! Who knows, but the general's announcement has been sent out, so this matter is almost certain!"
"The new county magistrate is about to take office. I hope he won't be like Li Dacai, otherwise he will have a hard time again!"
In the Food Hall, the diners were talking among themselves, talking about Li Dacai's execution last night.
Xia Jin sat at the counter with her forehead propped up, her eyes stained with fatigue, and she yawned from time to time.
She went to see the excitement last night and knew the cause and effect. What was being executed was clearly being killed.
Counting the days, it was getting closer to Lin Ziyi's return to Beijing. She always felt that Lin Ziyi was going to make some big move this time when he returned.
I was thinking not to join in the fun with him. After thinking about it carefully, Bincheng along the coast is not bad. At least there are not so many opportunities for development there. Maybe I can meet a foreigner and take a boat to the west to see it.
Look at foreign countries in this world.
Later, if he comes to the Food God Hall, he should talk to her about this matter.
"Master, if you're sleepy, just go upstairs and have a rest. I'll just keep an eye on you from here." Si Ji was careful and noticed that Xia Jin looked unhappy.
Xia Jin yawned. She had suffered from insomnia since coming back from watching the excitement last night. It was indeed time to catch up on her sleep.
There are two private rooms on the second floor, where Xia Jin usually takes a nap or needs a rest. Sometimes they will stay here if they don't go to Liuju to spend the night.
Xia Jin went upstairs and lay on the bed. It didn't take long for Xia Jin to fall asleep. When she opened her eyes again, it was already dark.
He rubbed his eyes and thought to himself that he had slept for a really long time.
I walked to the window and looked down. It was dark outside and there was no one on the street. I walked to the next room and saw that Zhang Ma and Si Ji were asleep.
She slept too much during the day and couldn't sleep at night. Xia Jin went downstairs. In the kitchen, Mu Baihao warmed up the food thoughtfully. It was still warm even though it was covered with a bamboo curtain.
The braised pork ribs rice bowl is dotted with crispy gourd whites, and there is a bowl of egg drop soup on the side, with chopped green onion and a little bit of oil, which looks very appetizing.
Xia Jin couldn't help but sigh, it had been a long time since she had a late-night snack, and she really missed the days when she used to go out to eat barbecue at food stalls in the middle of the night.
Xia Jin couldn't help but secretly make up her mind to build a night market in the future! Hang lanterns from the street to the end of the street, decorate them with red and green ones.
Invite a few more circus performers, find a troupe, and set up various stalls, such as barbecues, skewers, ice jelly, ice cream, oh yes, there are also hoops, gun marks, etc.
It would be nice to have another amusement park~
Xia Jin was chewing food in her mouth, and she had already started a grand plan in her heart~
At this moment, the sound of someone talking was heard outside, and Xia Jin turned around in confusion.
Is there anyone coming to eat at this time?
"It's right here!" This voice sounds familiar, seems to be the third aunt of the Four Seasons?
What are you doing sneaking around in front of my store?
Xia Jin blew out the candle, went up to the second floor, opened the window and jumped down gently.
"My knight, this is the God of Food Hall you are talking about!" The third aunt led a man in black clothes and a bamboo hat to stand furtively in front of the door of the God of Food Hall.
The four gambling ghosts were holding firewood in one hand and a jug of wine in the other.
"We have agreed to bring you here to set a fire and give us one hundred taels of silver, but we must keep our word." The gambler said with a flattering smile.
"As long as a person dies, the benefits will inevitably come to you!" said the man in black robe.
"Don't worry, knight, we have been watching here all day today, and we can confirm that Xia Jin is here and has not gone out!" The third aunt rubbed her hands.
Some time ago, they won money in a casino and were robbed by their creditors. They were both overjoyed and sad, and the ups and downs made the two of them cry for several nights.
After learning that they had money, other creditors surrounded the house where they lived. Now they dare not go out during the day.
Taking advantage of the darkness, they sneaked out and planned to leave the city for a while. On the way, they met an outsider who asked for directions. He also heard that they were going to the Food God Hall, and they didn't intend to give directions.
They hated Xia Jin till their teeth, and felt that it was because she had instigated the Four Seasons that they had no money. After hearing that they were going to kill Xia Jin, they decided to help, and the man in black robe offered to give them money to help them do the work.
The fourth and third aunts, the gamblers, felt that not only would they vent their anger, but they would also make some money, so they agreed without even thinking about it!
The third aunt winked at the fourth gambler, who was still a little scared. Although he had done a lot of unethical things, this was the first time he had committed murder and arson.
"Quick, don't waste time!" Third Aunt urged.
The gambler Siyi gritted his teeth, put down the firewood, and then poured the wine on it. The man in black robe approached the firewood pile, making a gesture to throw the firewood down.
"Hey!" A crisp voice came from behind.
The man in black robe looked back and saw a woman wearing a mask standing behind them.
"It's immoral to set a fire in front of someone else's house!" Xia Jin put her hands on her hips and looked at them coldly.
"Who are you!" The man in black robes drew out his sword warily.
"I'm just a spectator~" Xia Jin smiled half-heartedly.
"court death!"
The man in black robe struck with a sword, Xia Jin dodged sideways and snatched the torch from his hand.
"You don't set fires like this. Let me teach you! After all, I am a professional arsonist~" Xia Jin blew lightly, and the torch in her hand seemed to come alive, turning into a poisonous snake and rushing towards him.
Passed by!
After a while, the man in black robe was wrapped around the body by the fire snake and rolled all over the ground!
The fourth gambler and the third aunt were so frightened by this scene that they quickly ran away after regaining consciousness.
"If you don't want to be burned, just stop!" Xia Jin said calmly.
The two of them stopped, not daring to move at all.
"Who asked you to set the fire?" Xia Jin asked.
The two of them pointed at the man in black robe rolling on the ground.
Xia Jin walked over, put away the flame, stepped on his chest, squatted down, and patted his face.
"Tell me who asked you to kill me. If you don't tell me, I will roast you!"
The man in black robe shivered, how could he still have such arrogance!
"Yes, yes, I was sent here by Mr. Qu, the young master from the capital! I just use money to do things! Heroine, please let me go!"
"Who is Mr. Qu?" Xia Jin asked.
"It's Prime Minister Qu's eldest son, Qu Linjie!"
Qu Linjie? Xia Jin wondered where she had heard this name before, and suddenly her mind felt a twinge of pain, and a memory flashed through her mind quickly.
