The distinguished guest on the second floor should be a kind person in the carriage.
The second brother said that he likes to eat eight-treasure tofu soup, but he told him not to add seafood and shrimps. If the eight-treasure tofu soup does not have seafood, the taste will be much worse. Generally, people with physical injuries or colds should not eat it.
He ordered Longjing, but it was not wine. Chu Qiao concluded that he might really be sick.
What disease did the benefactor upstairs have? Chu Qiao wanted to get out, and she even put her hand into the cold water and ignored the biting feeling. She washed the vegetable leaves again and again.
After washing the pile of vegetables, Chu Qiao peeked out and saw that the second brother was gesturing in front of the counter with his back to the stairs. This was her chance to sneak upstairs.
After leaving the kitchen, she quickly reached the stairs. As soon as she stepped up the stairs, a soldier in uniform stretched out his hand to stop her.
"The upstairs has been booked, so no one else can go upstairs."
Packaged?
Chu Qiao raised her head and found that there were at least four soldiers standing at the stairs leading to the second floor. Each one was holding a sword and looked majestic. All the diners who wanted to go upstairs to dine were kicked off. It seemed that this person's status was high.
Not ordinary.
"Which uncle is so arrogant and spends so much money to book all the private rooms on the second floor?" Chu Qiao deliberately pretended to be curious and asked casually.
"Little girl, don't ask so much, it won't do you any good, get down quickly." The soldier drove Chu Qiao away numbly.
It was no longer possible to go upstairs, so Chu Qiao had no choice but to step back, thinking that her benefactor would definitely come downstairs after finishing the meal, and it would not be too late to return it to him then.
But just when Chu Qiao turned around, two policemen came in from the door of the restaurant.
"You two officials, please come in." The younger brother greeted him and went out.
"Damn it, my legs are so thin because of Yun Chongjin's solution to this case. I have to have a good meal after all." The two policemen complained, then walked in swaggeringly and sat by the window.
Yun Chongjin? Isn’t he Chu Qiao’s uncle?
My uncle has been an imperial doctor in the court for decades. He has won the favor of Emperor Zhi and has been entrusted with important tasks. Now, the former favorite has put Emperor Zhi to death, and the new king Junyin has ascended the throne and ordered the family to be exterminated. If this is unjust, it is really Junyin.
This was the first major injustice case since Yin ascended the throne.
Chu Qiao felt a cold sweat break out down her spine, and hurriedly walked towards the kitchen. It seemed that people from the capital had arrived in Yueyao Town, and soon the local magistrate would start arresting people.
The only people they want to catch are Chu Qiao and her mother. The Chu family has gotten rid of the burden of the Yun family in time and spent money to buy connections in the capital. Now they should be able to sit back and relax.
Chu Qiao didn't dare to let down her guard. The people in the kitchen almost recognized her just now. She was no longer safe here.
Although she really wanted to get the money she earned from washing vegetables and have a full meal, she didn't dare to stay for a moment. She could only sneak out of the back kitchen door to welcome the guests, walked through a remote alley, and ran away.
.
Crouching on the street corner of Liangzhou City, Chu Qiao's heart was still beating loudly, her hands clutching the baggage tightly. The benefactor in the carriage could spend a lot of money to buy the second floor where guests would come. He must be a high-ranking official and not a royal family.
, is also an important minister. Chu Qiao is a guilty person. If she sees him rashly, she is undoubtedly throwing herself into a trap. It seems that this cloak cannot be returned.
Chu Qiao left Liangzhou with her baggage on her back and walked on the snow-covered road leading to the northwest. She was cold and hungry, but the road ahead was vast and she was afraid she wouldn't meet a single family until dawn.
If this situation continues, she will really turn into a skeleton in the harsh winter.
