Hearing this, a guard hurriedly prepared some water to test the poison. When the tavern owner heard about the poison test, he was so frightened that he trembled all over and his face turned pale.
Although they didn't do anything, they could tell by looking at the other party's troops and several young men in rich attire that these people were not ordinary people, and how could they dare to offend them so easily.
The shopkeeper wiped the cold sweat from his head, put on a smile and stepped forward to clarify: "Dear guests, gentlemen, our shop is a serious business, and it is a small business. How can we do anything to kill people or poison them?"
, Dear gentlemen, this is not a joke, it depends on how the shop will open and do business in the future!"
"Shopkeeper, you don't have to worry. We are following the rules. If it is true as the shopkeeper said, we will not embarrass the shopkeeper." Yumian said calmly, took out fifty taels of silver from his sleeve and put it on the table. "You
We will fully compensate for the damage caused to the tavern."
The shopkeeper looked at the fifty taels of silver on the table. Stars flashed in his eyes, and the fear in his heart was swept away. How many people in a town under a barren mountain could get fifty taels of silver in one hand?
The restaurant's daily income was less than ten taels of silver. Seeing the money entering his pocket, the shopkeeper could not be happy. He picked up the silver on the table, put it in his mouth and bit it, then said with a smile on his face, "Don't worry, sir."
, Although the shop is not luxurious, its reputation is well-known in the town. There will definitely be no problem with the food. I can't believe it, just test the poison!!"
The guard took a plate of water and put it on the table. Yumian poured the medicine in his hand into the water, and used silver chopsticks to stir the medicine powder and water to dissolve. When he saw that there was no discoloration on the silver chopsticks, he ordered everyone to hold the bowls and chopsticks in the water.
.
After a while, the clear water began to behave abnormally. Countless water bubbles emerged from the bowls and chopsticks in the clear water. For a moment, the water in the basin was like boiling water, with bubbling green smoke billowing out.
"As expected, those people were very skilled in poisoning and used poison skillfully. As a result, there was no problem at all in the food. However, the problem was caused by these bowls and chopsticks. It was really a clever trick." Mu Tianxue narrowed his eyes coldly.
Looking at the clear water gradually turning into yellow water, he nodded and said with a sigh.
It was too dangerous. If she hadn't suddenly thought that poison could be spread everywhere, she wouldn't have thought of it on the dishes and chopsticks, thinking about testing the poison. If she didn't test the poison, the result would be annihilation... It was too, too dangerous...
When everyone saw this, their faces suddenly turned pale with fear, and they were covered in cold sweat. They stretched out their hands to wipe the sweat from their foreheads. Just a little bit, nearly a hundred guards would have become poisoned souls.
"Master Xue is really good at predicting things. These bowls and chopsticks have been smeared with poison. Even though the food is not poisonous, if these bowls and chopsticks are eaten, they will be poisoned to death." Yumian frowned and looked at the billowing smoke.
poisonous water, he said with lingering fear.
"No, it's impossible. There must be something wrong with the water. We haven't poisoned it, and we don't dare to poison it." Seeing the smoke coming out of the basin, the shopkeeper was so frightened that his body was shaking like chaff, and the silver in his hand was shaking.
His body trembled and he fell to the ground with a crash.
"My subordinates have neglected their duties, please master and punish me." Dozens of guards knelt down to apologize almost at the same time.
They really did not expect to take such precautions. They always poisoned food or wine and tea. When they tested the poison, they only tried food and tea. They did not expect that the poison would be used on bowls and chopsticks.
If it weren't for nip in the bud, this meal would have cost nearly a hundred guards their lives.
"Master, these are the waiters and busboys in the tavern." Lai Yi and two secret guards escorted the four clerks to Long Chenyi.
When everyone was testing the poison, Mu Tianxue secretly asked Lai Yi to go to the back hall and keep an eye on the busboys in the tavern. If the poison was not tested, that would be fine. But if the people in the tavern deliberately poisoned, they would be testing the poison.
He ran away secretly so that Lai Yi could catch him.
"Everyone, please spare your life, all heroes and heroes, please spare your life. I have been wronged. Even if I were given a few heads, I would not dare to poison you. Please spare my life!"
"Have mercy on me. I am wronged. I dare not poison you!"
The few clerks who were brought here turned pale with fright when they saw such a huge battle in the hall, and they knelt down one after another, trembling all over, kowtowing in panic and begging for mercy.
"I'm sorry, this poison was not poisoned by the shop. Please do your best, this poison was really not poisoned by us." The shopkeeper's face had already turned pale, and he knelt straight in front of Long Chenyi, his old bones trembling, as if he could no longer
If you keep shaking, the bones in your body will fall apart.
"Shopkeeper, you keep saying that this poison was not administered by you, so let me ask, are these poisoned chopsticks and poisoned bowls from your shop?" Liancheng stepped on the bench with one foot and played with the soul-stealing device in his hand.
road.
The shopkeeper looked at the bowls and chopsticks in the basin in horror, and his teeth chattered in fear, "Yes, these bowls and chopsticks are indeed the utensils in the shop, but the poison is really not caused by us. Judging from your conversation and dress, your temperament is...
Knowing that you are not ordinary people, even if we have the courage, we would not dare to poison you!"
"Shopkeeper, don't be afraid. Tell me, who is the worker responsible for cleaning these dishes? Has anyone touched these utensils?" Seeing that the shopkeeper was frightened out of his mind, Liancheng continued to ask.
"It wasn't me who poisoned him, it really wasn't me." After hearing Liancheng's question, a handyman's face turned blue with fright, and he waved his hands and kowtowed to Liancheng.
"It's him. He's responsible for the dishwashing and other chores in the shop. This poison must have been administered by him and has nothing to do with me." The shopkeeper pointed at the handyman beside him and said in a trembling voice.
"Shut up." Seeing the shopkeeper and the shop assistants trying to shirk the blame, Long Chenyi's cold starry eyes revealed a sharp and frightening light, and his cold eyes swept across the shopkeeper and several shop assistants.
Looking at Hong Yi and Lai Yi, he said in a majestic and cold voice: "Take them down for questioning and find out the person who poisoned them. The others will bring clean and non-poisonous dishes and chopsticks. Those who should eat should clear the way."
The exploration guards, after dinner, go to open a way to explore, seize the time."
It's really not a wise move to waste time on such a small matter. If you delay any longer, I'm afraid you'll have to spend the night in this town tonight.
The killer poisoned and assassinated them just to annihilate them in one fell swoop. Now that the poisoning has been discovered, there must be many killers hiding in this town, and there will definitely be another action next.
"Subordinate, as ordered," all the guards replied in unison.
"Subordinate, I obey." Lai Yi and Hong Yi grabbed the shopkeeper and several clerks and retreated.
The food has been poisoned, so everyone can eat it with confidence. The front hall became quiet for a while, and everyone ate the food quietly, not daring to make any loud noises.
A dark figure was in a teahouse directly opposite, watching everything that happened in the tavern, and a white dove in his hand was released from an invisible corner.
