On their way to Gaosheng Inn, Zhong Liyue kept looking at the long sword in Jian Wuhen's hand, thinking to herself, could it be that Jian Wuhen wanted to find the person who had tricked him and kill him directly?
With this doubt in mind, Zhong Liyue found the owner of Gaosheng Inn.
As soon as Shen Zicong's identity was revealed, the boss was extremely cooperative and called out all the waiters in the store.
And asked them one by one.
At the very beginning, Zhong Liyue saw two waiters with pale faces and trembling bodies shrinking back.
At this time, Shen Zicong, Zhong Liyue and others haven't said what happened, and the waiters don't know the identities of their group.
"you---"
Shen Zicong pointed at a pale-faced waiter with a friendly face:
"Are you afraid?"
The waiter nodded tremblingly.
Shen Zicong shook the feather fan in his hand, raised his eyebrows and asked:
"Why?"
"Small...small..."
The waiter in the shop knelt down directly on the ground as he spoke:
"Young people shouldn't steal things... It's just that the little one's mother was sick, so the little ones took advantage of a student's absence to steal some of his silver coins... The little ones... the little ones are willing to do whatever they want.
I’ll compensate that student immediately, please don’t report me to the government.”
Shen Zicong was slightly startled, looked at the trembling waiter at his feet, and said:
"How much money did you steal?"
"Two...two liang..."
Shen Zicong took out a certain amount of gold ingots from his arms:
"Take this to treat your mother's illness, and return the stolen money to others."
"Sir...sir...thank you, thank you, sir..."
The waiter in the shop stared at Shen Zicong in disbelief with his eyes wide open in tears.
Shen Zicong smiled and said nothing.
Zhong Liyue tilted her head, feeling that Shen Zicong seemed to be very kind today???
Did the waiter's experience touch a certain part of his heart?
Shen Zicong was a little dazed and lost his temper. Zhong Liyue sighed and had no choice but to ask the waiter at another shop for help.
Everyone's answers were quite reasonable and there was no flaw in them.
Zhong Liyue's eyes kept drifting to the other waiter with a pale face.
Could it be that he was so scared because he stole money?
If it is true, I'm afraid they will start speculating again.
"This little brother."
Zhong Liyue walked up to the famous waiter and called softly.
The waiter's body trembled:
"Sir...Sir, may I ask."
"What did you do this afternoon?"
"The younger one helps with the chores in the kitchen and occasionally delivers tea and cakes to the guests. This afternoon, he is washing dishes in the kitchen."
"Have you been washing? Didn't you leave?"
"me..."
The waiter's lips trembled and he looked at Jian Wuhen with deep fear in his eyes.
Shen Zicong, who had recovered at this time, took a step forward, smiled reassuringly at the famous waiter, then turned his head and said to the shopkeeper of Gaosheng Inn:
"We have found the person we are looking for. You can leave now."
After a while, Zhong Liyue and his entourage were the only ones left in the house, as well as the waiter who was last questioned.
Zhong Liyue sighed, sat on the wooden chair, and lowered his eyes slightly.
She didn't think a shop waiter would dare to do something like that and plot against the student who was about to become the top scholar.
"Is that you?"
Shen Zicong asked the waiter very gently:
"Did you drug Mr. Jian?"
"I,,,please spare your life, uncle. I was instigated by others..."
After all, he is a handyman who has never seen the world. He is no better than those professional bad guys. He has a poor psychological quality and has confessed without even intimidating him.
I don’t know what the mastermind behind the scenes was thinking, and he actually asked such a person to help.
"It doesn't matter. Just tell us everything you know in detail and you will be fine."
Nothing will happen now, but you will always be punished if you do something wrong, so... so he will still be handed over to the government.
Maybe it was because the waiter who stole money from the store before was treated too well. This waiter naively thought that nothing would happen, so he spoke:
"I have a distant relative who is also a candidate of this year. His family is very wealthy... This morning, he came to me and asked me to do something for him, and he would give me a lot of money.
..I was very scared at the time, but I liked the silver more, so I asked what happened---he asked me to add a drug to Mr. Jian's tea. He also gave me the drug...I think it was just a drug.
It's just medicine, it's not a serious matter of murder and arson, so I just did it..."
The waiter at the shop seemed very excited after saying this.
"Uncle, you have to believe me, except for taking drugs, I didn't do anything... I really didn't do anything."
Shen Zicong looked at the famous waiter intently:
"Do you know that your drug addiction has almost ruined all three of this year's top picks?"
The waiter at the famous shop suddenly opened his eyes wide, his pale face showed deep fear, and he could no longer speak.
With a clang, Jian Wuhen pulled out his sword and said coldly:
"You---damn!!!"
Saying that, he started to take action.
Zhong Liyue stretched out her hand to stop Jian Wuhen:
"His crime and punishment should be handed over to the government, instead of you just killing him quietly... You are committing a crime."
Murong Mingyue also nodded and advised:
"Yes, it's not worth risking your life for an unknown person."
Jian Wuhen's hand holding the sword tightened and he glared at the famous waiter:
"Who is your distant relative?"
Which one is the leader?
"Miaoyuan Mountain."
The waiter looked at the sword in Jian Wuhen's hand and said tremblingly.
"Miaoyuan Mountain?"
Zhong Liyue murmured, and suddenly remembered that the person she met today was very talented, always had a smile on his face, and was very gentle and kind to others. At the beginning, she still thought in her heart that this person had Shen Zicong's demeanor, but now she just
I know...that person is really much worse than Shen Zicong...
