Jixiang Xiaozhu repaired the damaged area as quickly as possible and reopened the next morning. Because Gu Zheng brought back a lot of ingredients unique to Chaoyang City this time, Jixiang Xiaozhu repaired the damaged area as quickly as possible and reopened the next morning.
Xiaozhu has added several new dishes to its menu.
The residents in the city are even more enthusiastic about Jixiang Xiaozhu, and there are voices from time to time talking about it celebrating the festival with Piaoxiang Tower. However, the government has remained silent regarding the large-scale fight that day.
Piaoxianglou has not been opened since that incident. Even if Kong Hu wanted to, there was nothing he could do. Even if he asked the chef and the waiter to leave, he could not open it alone.
Unknowingly, five days had passed. Due to the unprecedentedly good business, some of the ingredients brought back from Chaoyang City had been used up. Gu Zheng had to go to Chaoyang City again.
Sometimes things are so coincidental. When Gu Zheng went to Chaoyang City to buy ingredients, Kong Hu's brother Kong Fan came back.
Kong Fan went out for a few days this time to accompany the city lord to plead with the general. Since the general liked to eat Kong Fan's cooking, the city lord took Kong Fan with him.
When the city lord came back this time, he brought a handwritten letter from the general. This handwritten letter was written by the general to the city supervisor.
The general's background was even more profound. The city supervisor had the courage to offend the city lord, but he did not have the courage to offend the general. Therefore, after reading the general's handwriting, he asked Bai Li to go to his house to have a talk.
After coming out of the City Supervisor's Mansion, Bai Li's face was very gloomy. He first came back to the Bai family to arrange some things, and then returned to Jixiang Xiaozhu.
"how?"
Seeing Bai Li's face, Huang Ying knew something was wrong, but she still couldn't help but ask, hoping that her feeling was wrong.
"The general warned my cousin-in-law in the letter. He must give the general face. The city lord is safe and sound. My cousin-in-law asked me to prepare for the worst. After this incident, he can no longer compete with the city lord.
He is worried that the Bai family will be implicated because of him." Bai Li said.
"Then what are you going to do?" Huang Ying asked again.
Bai Li shrugged and said, "I just went home and told my family to make preparations. We may leave Qingfeng City at any time."
"Is it really going to come to this? Didn't Chef Ti tell you that as long as he is here, nothing will happen to Jixiang Xiaozhu?" Huang Ying said sadly.
"That's what Chu Ti said, but Jixiang Xiaozhu is not the entire Bai family, and because this kind of thing bothers Chu Chu, if it happens once or twice, that's it, but if it happens a lot, I will feel sorry for myself." Bai Li said.
.
Huang Ying was silent, her brows were twisted like a knot. What Bai Li said was not wrong. Chef Tie was just the chief chef of Jixiang Xiaozhu. He was not the patron saint of the Bai family. He could protect Jixiang.
Xiaozhu is already very good. If he is asked to protect the Bai family again, it will be really unjustifiable.
"The purpose of opening Jixiang Xiaozhu was to express the same tone as before. In fact, the tone of the year has been very thorough. I didn't expect that Piaoxiang Building would eventually be unable to open because of its bad reputation. This also made
I can laugh out of my dreams lately."
Bai Li paused and smiled like a child at Huang Ying: "So, now that the anger has gone smoothly, there is no need to worry too much about other things. If we can't stay in Qingfeng City any longer, let's find another place!
What's more, you have all learned some of Tie Chu's cooking skills now. The world is so big, where can we go?"
Huang Ying nodded, and then said: "Actually, it's okay to think about it, but when Chu Ti comes back, you have to talk to him about this matter. After all, he also put in his hard work into Jixiang Xiaozhu."
"This is natural!" Bai Li smiled.
Kong Fan was very tired. During this period of time, he was either busy driving or working in the kitchen. For him, who was in charge of the shop in Piaoxiang Building, going out for a few days really felt like he was losing his skin.
I was very happy in my heart. This time the city lord's matter was suppressed by the general. As a relative of the city lord, Kong Fan still had to get wind and rain in Qingfeng City. Over there at Jixiang Xiaozhu
The good days are coming to an end.
However, when Kong Fan returned to Qingfeng City and saw the slightly different eyes of the people in the city, an ominous premonition suddenly arose in his heart. He did not find anyone to ask what happened, but quickly looked towards
Rush to Piaoxianglou.
Later, when he saw that the Piaoxiang Building that was supposed to be open was actually closed, and the original grand door became dilapidated, Kong Fan, who had a gloomy face, suddenly felt angry in his heart.
Kong Hu has been staying in Piaoxiang Building drinking these past few days. When Kong Fan knocked on the door of Piaoxiang Building, he looked down from upstairs in a daze and saw that the person knocking on the door was actually his brother.
, he almost cried.
"Brother, you are back!"
When he opened the door and saw Kong Fan, Kong Hu couldn't help crying.
"Why are you crying? What happened?"
Kong Fan was so angry that he gave Kong Hu a hard kick. He had a hunch that all this was caused by his brother not listening to his warning.
When he saw Kong Fan, Kong Hu had almost sobered up. He told Kong Fan everything that had happened. He already knew that Kong Fan would be very angry after hearing this. But after hearing this, Kong Fan only showed
calm.
Kong Fan frowned and walked around the room. Without saying anything, he made the atmosphere very depressing. The depressed Kong Hu was restless. He hoped that Kong Fan would be very angry after hearing this. Even if he beat her in anger, it would be worse than what she is doing now.
This kind of depression makes people feel much better.
"Brother, you are talking!"
Finally unable to stand the depressing feeling, Kong Hu spoke pitifully.
"Speak? What do you want me to say?" Kong Fan sneered at Kong Hu.
"You can say anything, as long as it can calm my brother down." Kong Hu said with a shy face.
"Calm down, how do you want me to calm down, how do you want me to clean up the mess you made?"
Kong Fan roared at Kong Hu, he kicked Kong Hu to the ground, and then punched and kicked him.
"Oh, you, it hurts, oh, you, it hurts so much!"
Although Kong Fan hit him quite hard, Kong Hu was a practitioner after all, so the damage was nothing to him. The reason why he shouted exaggeratedly was to let Kong Fan calm down.
After giving Kong Hu a hard beating, Kong Fan felt much better. After he sat on the chair, he looked at Kong Hu who was pretending to be a dead dog on the ground and said, "Are you dead? If you are dead, I will find someone."
I’ll bury you, and get out of here if you’re still alive!”
"Not dead, not dead!"
Kong Hu smiled apologetically, got up and patted the dust on his body, and then sat on the chair.
"Brother, what should we do?"
Kong Hu understood that Kong Fan had vented his anger on him, so now that he had vented his anger, it was time to get down to business.
"Although you poked holes this time and caused Piaoxiang Tower to be smashed and its reputation to be ruined, it's not all worthless." Kong Fan said.
"Oh? Is there anything I have done well?"
Kong Hu's eyes widened. Because of the things that happened in the past few days, he felt extremely guilty for having made Piaoxiang Tower like this. Now that Kong Fan said this, Kong Hu was naturally very curious.
"Because you let me see clearly the strength of Jixiang Xiaozhu! I didn't expect that Jixiang Xiaozhu's real backer was not Bai Li, but the boy who came to our Piaoxiang Building." Kong Fan said through gritted teeth.
"That's right, it's that kid. He is really hateful!" Kong Hu said bitterly.
"He is indeed hateful. According to your statement, he should know some kind of magic. I agree with this point. When he came to Piaoxiang Tower that time, I felt a little bit different. It happened again this time.
Such a thing." Kong Fan touched his chin and said thoughtfully.
"Brother, what are you going to do?" Kong Hu asked again.
"I want to go find the city lord and ask him to give Jixiang Xiaozhu some trouble from the official side," Kong Fan said.
"Yeah, I think so too." Kong Hu nodded hurriedly.
"The city lord has been tired these past few days. I'll go find him tomorrow!" Kong Fan thought for a while and said.
The city lord is indeed very tired. He is more pampered than the shopkeeper Kong Fan. He is a fat man himself, and after enduring the fatigue of traveling and riding, his bones are almost falling apart.
However, the city lord is the city lord after all, and he has his responsibilities. Therefore, even if he returns to Qingfeng City, he cannot rest immediately. After being out for so many days, he still needs to go to some pressing matters in the city.
Deal with it.
The smashing of Piaoxiang Tower was not only seen by the city patrol army, but also by all the officials in the city. However, they did not come forward to do anything about the matter regarding the relatives of the city lord and city supervisor.
Instead, he reported the matter to the city lord and waited for him to come back and make a decision.
As the lord of a city, Wu Zhitian is naturally a smart man. From the reports he received from his subordinates, he had already heard that this matter was unusual.
"The martial artist's betrayal was because he had a sense of justice, the helpers' defection in the face of battle was because they were angry and being exploited by Kong Hu, and Chef Deng's kneeling down to beg for mercy was just a way of self-protection when he felt that Kong Hu was gone.
Haha, when these seemingly plausible things appear together, it may not be a coincidence." Wu Zhitian said.
"What is the city lord's opinion?" asked the official who reported to Wu Zhitian.
"Go find Wei Xia for me!"
The Wei Xia Wu Zhitian refers to is the leader of the city patrol army. In his eyes, Wei Xia is a man who has seen the world. It is also within the scope of his responsibilities to deal with such large-scale brawls. However, the report contains
The events that day were described by civilian officials, and his report as a general was limited to the incident of Kong Hu smashing the Piaoxiang Tower. This was obviously unusual.
Wei Xia soon arrived at the city lord's mansion. After paying homage to Wu Zhitian, he asked, "I wonder what the city lord is calling me here for?"
"Don't pretend to be ignorant. Tell us about the day when Jixiang Xiaozhu smashed into Piaoxiang Building!"
Wu Zhitian has a good impression of Wei Xia. In his eyes, Wei Xia is a smart person.
"When this happened, I was leading my subordinates to hunt down a fugitive, so I couldn't see it with my own eyes. I heard people talk about it later, but it had already happened, and it involved the two adults, the city lord and the city supervisor.
I'm a relative, but because of my low position, I didn't ask any more questions, and I'll wait until the Lord of the City comes back to make a decision." Wei Xia smiled flatteringly at Wu Zhitian.
"As for the city prison matter, I have suppressed it. You don't need to worry about it anymore. I just ask you now, did you see what happened back then?" Wu Zhitian asked again.
"Sir, I really didn't see it."
If under normal circumstances, the city lord had asked like this, Wei Xia must have told the truth, but the look in Gu Zheng's warning look frightened him, so he felt that matters related to Gu Zheng should be less involved in subtlety. After all, a person
Compared with the city lord or an immortal cultivator, who would be more terrible to offend, Wei Xia knew very well in his heart.
"All right!"
Wu Zhitian nodded, and then asked: "Then what do you think of this matter? Are there really so many coincidences?"
Wei Xia understood that Wu Zhitian had asked this question, which meant he had doubts about the matter, so it would be better for him to give a more diplomatic answer.
"Bizhi feels the same way, but after all, he is not a party involved, so there is no better way to experience this. From what I can see, you have been out for a few days, and it must be very hard after driving and riding. You should pay attention to your body and rest early, etc.
Let Kong Hu come in person to report to you tomorrow, so you will definitely understand what happened at that time," Wei Xia said.
Wu Zhitian nodded. Since he didn't get anything useful from asking Wei Xia, naturally he would ask Kong Hu next.
"That's right. Then you can go back! I also need to rest early. Anyway, Jixiang Xiaozhu is there. It's never too late to settle accounts with it." Wu Zhitian said.
Although going to Jixiang Xiaozhu to eat has become a trend in the city, Wu Zhitian has never tasted the food made by Jixiang Xiaozhu. This is not because he is a relative of the Kong family brothers, so he has a bottom line, but he happens to want to
To lose weight, he has never eaten anything from Jixiang Xiaozhu. He is afraid that after eating it, all his efforts to lose weight will be in vain.
Because he has never eaten anything from Jixiang Xiaozhu, his taste buds have not yet been conquered by Gu Zheng, so he does not have a good impression of Gu Zheng.
The next day, Kong Hu received a notice from the City Lord's Mansion, and he and Kong Fan went to the City Lord's Mansion together.
After the Kong brothers saw Wu Zhitian and greeted him, Wu Zhitian went straight to the point and asked Kong Hu about what happened that day.
Kong Hu explained the abnormality at that time, and then told Wu Zhitian what he thought. He felt that Gu Zheng was a monster, and he should be able to do some magic and so on.
"That's true!"
After listening to what Kong Hu said, Wu Zhitian was thoughtful.
"Cousin, you have to make the decision for us on this matter!" Kong Hu begged.
Wu Zhitian just nodded and did not speak immediately. He was thinking about this matter.
In Wu Zhitian's view, people who are not of the same type as them must be cautious and cautious, and must not stir up any hornet's nest. However, although Wu Zhitian is cautious, this does not mean that he dare not touch ancient disputes.
After all, he is also the lord of a city.
"I know you want me to help you get revenge, but you must be cautious in this matter. I want to feel how much that guy named Tie weighs before I talk about it," Wu Zhitian said.
"Thank you cousin!"
The Kong brothers thanked Wu Zhitian.
"Tomorrow I will arrange for someone to join you. You go and smash the Ji Xiang Xiaozhu again!" Wu Zhitian sneered.
In fact, in every city in the prehistoric times, there are immortal cultivators. Not all of these immortal cultivators live here in seclusion. Some of them are considered to be working for the royal family. The purpose of their existence in the city is to prevent some mortals from solving problems in the city.
Things that can't be solved.
As the city lord of Qingfeng City, Wu Zhitian has the power to dispatch the immortal cultivators. However, there are not many immortal cultivators in Qingfeng City, only two. Under normal circumstances, they will not take action because of the fight between Jixiang Xiaozhu and Piaoxiang Tower.
Therefore, if Wu Zhitian wanted to persuade the immortal cultivators to help, he had to prepare some gifts.
Immortal cultivators live in the back garden of the city. There is nothing special going on here, and even Wu Zhitian cannot get involved easily.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Wu Zhitian knocked on the door of the city's back garden.
"Master Wu, please come in."
No one was seen at all, so the garden gate opened automatically. After Wu Zhitian entered, he saw a lazily young Taoist basking in the sun in front of a thatched house.
There are two immortal cultivators in Qingfeng City. They have a master-disciple relationship. The master's name is Zhenren Yunqing, and his disciple's name is Feng Yuzi. The one who is basking in the sun right now is Feng Yuzi.
"What is the Lord of Witch City carrying in his hand?"
Feng Yuzi, who was originally lazy, obviously became interested after seeing the exquisite brocade box in Wu Zhitian's hand.
In fact, Feng Yuzi knew that the things in the box in Wu Zhitian's hand were cultivation resources such as medicinal materials. Every time Wu Zhitian asked for help, he would always bring such a box. Now, such a box has been placed in the hut behind him.
No fewer than ten.
"I still need to ask the immortal master for help!"
Wu Zhitian did not mince words and directly told the story of the fight between Jixiang Xiaozhu and Piaoxianglou.
"I can't move when I want to, I can't say what I want to say, and when I do speak, I can't control what I say. This should be the reason for writing a book." Feng Yuzi said.
"should?"
Wu Zhitian murmured, but actually what he wanted to hear was affirmation.
"We are immortal cultivators, not evil cultivators, nor monsters. Therefore, we don't know much about some of their methods, so we can't say for sure. Like the situation of the city lord's cousin, I have also seen demon cultivators.
Show."
Feng Yuzi smiled slightly, and then opened the brocade box given by Wu Zhitian in person. He wanted to see what cultivation resources were inside to decide how to deal with this matter.
"Yes, there are actually some spiritual resources."
Feng Yuzi closed the brocade box with satisfaction. He looked at Wu Zhitian and said: "Since the resources given by the city lord are not bad, then I will go with your people to visit the extremely fragrant building. However, you know the rules.
Yes, we are immortal cultivators and are not willing to attack mortals casually. Normal things will be done by your people."
"Natural, this is natural!"
Wu Zhitian agreed happily, but in fact he was not very happy. He wanted Feng Yuzi's master Yunqing to come forward. After all, Yunqing's cultivation level was higher and he was less prone to accidents, but he came here this time.
, but he didn’t even see the face of Master Yunqing.
"My master is in retreat, so I can only do it."
As if he saw what Wu Zhitian was thinking, Feng Yuzi said a little mockingly.
"This matter doesn't require a real person to come forward. I think the immortal will definitely be able to settle it." Wu Zhitian quickly said with a smile.
"It's natural!"
Feng Yuzi said something carelessly, and then lay down on the chair again: "City Lord, please go back. I will go to Jixiang Xiaozhu with your people at noon."
