Chapter 321 Murder on a Moonlit Night
Chapter 321 On a dark moonlit night, encountering a murderer
Wang Shuncai gritted his teeth and glanced at the restaurant manager on the side.
"Shopkeeper Li isn't leaving yet?"
Shopkeeper Li looked at Wang Shuncai, came back to his senses, and lowered his head unnaturally.
"I, I still need to tidy up.
Wang, shopkeeper Wang leaves first..."
He just saw with his own eyes that shopkeeper Zhang was dragged away for offending the prince.
He couldn't even do business in the future, and shopkeeper Wang didn't even say a word to help him.
You know, during this period, they were trying to flatter Shopkeeper Wang.
I go to Zhenpin Pavilion every day to help out, giving both money and effort.
Not only did he tell shopkeeper Wang all his signature dishes, but he also spent a lot of money.
Showing filial piety to Shopkeeper Wang, but what you get in exchange is this.
He is not a fool, so why would he go to the carriage to pat the horse now?
Seeing Wang Shuncai walk away angrily, shopkeeper Li bravely stepped forward.
"Su, shopkeeper Su.
I'm really sorry. Can I spend some money to learn some dishes from you?
Now that we have lost the competition, our restaurant may not be able to gain a foothold in the capital.
But I have a family to support, so don’t worry, I’ll only learn a few dishes that your Ruyi Restaurant doesn’t sell.
Just make ends meet, you just decide the price."
Su Jinxiu glanced at Shopkeeper Li, who was among the people who had been hanging around Wang Shuncai.
He was the only one who didn't say anything bad about her.
At most, he lowered his head and remained silent when others spoke.
Looks like he is honest.
I thought that if it wasn't really helpless, it wouldn't be like this.
She couldn't help but sigh and took out a pen and paper.
I quickly wrote down a few dishes and handed them to Shopkeeper Li.
"Take these dishes back and think about them carefully, and you can make them your restaurant's signature dishes.
In the future, other dishes can be evolved based on these dishes.
That's all I can teach you, and I can't help you with anything else.
You go first! If someone from Shopkeeper Wang sees you talking to me.
I’m afraid I’ll use this to embarrass you in the future.”
Shopkeeper Li looked at the recipe in his hand with disbelief, and then at Su Jinxiu.
I couldn't help but cover my face and burst into tears.
"Shopkeeper Su, I'm sorry!
I shouldn't be like them and look down on you.
How much silver? I'll give you..."
I cried for a while and didn't hear anyone reply.
He wiped away his tears and took a closer look.
I found that Su Jinxiu had left at some point.
Shopkeeper Li became more and more grateful and knelt on the ground holding the recipe.
——————————
Because of this delay, it was almost midnight when Su Jinxiu finished cleaning up and returned to the yard.
She thought it was too late to go to the palace again.
I fed the dog, tidied up, and got ready to go to sleep.
Suddenly, I heard a dog barking several times outside.
Woof woof woof, little bitch.
I guess it smells like a bitch.
Su Jinxiu couldn't help but laugh and stood up to open the door.
"Don't let the little bitch lure you away. I'll find you a little bitch later to keep you company."
When I opened the door, before I finished speaking, I saw the dog running out of the dog hole.
It's so late, it would be troublesome if I got lost.
Su Jinxiu quickly put on her clothes and chased her out the back door.
The dog lied and ran ahead, while Su Jinxiu panted and chased after him.
Unconsciously, I ran through the streets, passed through alleys, and ran out of the city.
After chasing him into a forest, Su Jinxiu held the dog down.
"I told you not to run away.
Why don't you listen?"
The dog whimpered in frustration, knowing that he had done something wrong, and nestled into Su Jinxiu's arms.
Su Jinxiu picked up the dog and was about to leave, when suddenly a gust of wind hit her.
She smelled the strong smell of blood and couldn't help but pause.
The birds in the forest were frightened, and Su Jinxiu hurriedly hugged the dog and hid in the bushes nearby.
There was a rush of footsteps and it was a half-grown boy running over.
As he ran, he looked back and saw someone was chasing him.
Because he couldn't see the road clearly, he accidentally kicked a tree stump and fell to the ground.
The moment he fell to the ground, a man in black had already ducked in front of him.
The bloody sword pointed at his throat, telling him not to run anymore.
The boy knew that he would not survive, so he gritted his teeth and looked forward.
"Thief, I want to see the emperor.
My father was a disciple of Taifu and an official at the imperial censorship station.
How can you just kill me? I will file a complaint with the emperor and kill you, the rebellious minister and traitor."
A white figure slowly stepped forward.
It was pitch dark in the forest, and he was the only light.
If you ignore the blood on his clothes, you will be banished to immortality under the moon.
The person who came was none other than Mu Qingyu.
He looked at the boy, his expression as gentle as ever.
"Who do you think gave me the right?
Can I get rid of your family under the emperor's feet without anyone noticing?"
The boy came back to his senses and looked at Mu Qingyu in disbelief.
"You mean, it was the Emperor who asked you to take action?"
Mu Qingyu did not respond directly, but looked at him with compassion.
"If you want to blame, blame your father for not stopping the emperor from having a concubine.
If you want to blame it, it’s because you’re not strong enough.”
After saying that, Mu Qingyu snatched the sword from the man in black.
It stabbed straight into the boy's chest. The boy's face was full of anger, he closed his eyes unjustly, and made no sound.
Mu Qingyu threw the sword back to the man in black and wiped the blood off his hands.
"Leave it to me to clean up, and you can go back and report to the Emperor.
He said that Mr. Li and his family had all been sorted out, and no one was left alive.
Let the emperor rest assured and sit back and relax."
The man in black nodded, put away his sword and turned around to leave.
Mu Qingyu knelt on the ground and looked at the boy's body.
Suddenly, I heard a dog whimpering.
His expression changed and he jumped over the trees.
When he saw Su Jinxiu hiding there with her dog in her arms, her face was filled with surprise.
"Su... girl?"
The moment he landed, he almost lost his balance.
"Have you seen everything?"
Su Jinxiu hugged the dog with mixed emotions.
"Mr. Mu, are you working for the emperor?
If I say I saw it, are you going to kill me and silence me?"
Looking at Mu Qingyu, who was still dressed in white, she couldn't believe it.
When I was in Wucheng, I met that gentle young man who would worry about the victims having no food to eat.
One day, it will become like this.
For the purpose, not even a child is spared.
Is it for power? Or has it always been like this in his heart?
Mu Qingyu watched Su Jinxiu's expression gradually turn cold and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"In Miss Su's mind, am I that kind of person?
I won’t kill you, just go away!
Don't talk to others about what you saw.
Not even the prince!
Otherwise, you will be in danger.
This danger was not brought about by me.
Rather, the prince brought it."
Su Jinxiu took the dog and took one step back, then another.
"Your Majesty is not that kind of person, but I won't tell him about it either."
No need for her to tell, Xiao Jingze should already know.
She didn't want to get involved in these bloody events.
Mu Qingyu wanted to step forward to explain, but stopped in place under Su Jinxiu's alert eyes.
"Miss Su, it seems that she has always believed in the prince.
No matter it was before or now.
Sometimes, I am envious.
If someone trusts me so much, maybe I..."
