Xiaoze is still the same as before. Although he lives outside, he reports to Prince Zhan's mansion before dawn every day.

Then he happily followed the carriage of Huo Dong's five siblings to the academy and served them in their studies.

At the beginning, the Huo Dong brothers and sisters were very resistant. They ignored him and were on guard against him. But after a while, they were moved by Xiaoze's perseverance.

In addition, Prince Zhan’s Mansion has already discovered that the traitor is Chef Xu.

It has nothing to do with Ozawa at all.

They finally let down their guard.

Just then, early in the morning of this day, the Huo Dong brothers and sisters were preparing to go to the academy in a carriage as usual, and they met Xiaoze at the gate again.

After the quintuplets got on the carriage.

Huo Dong frowned and said...

"Xiao Ze, stop chasing me and get in the car."

"This...this...is this okay?" Xiaoze was very surprised. He had been running behind the carriage for a month, and his young master suddenly asked him to get on the carriage. He was a little at a loss.

Huo Dong looked a little unhappy, and said in a baby voice: "Forget it if you don't want to get on, then just follow behind the carriage."

"Up, up, up, of course." Xiaoze reacted and immediately became happy. He knew that this month's hard work was not in vain, and several little masters began to accept him slowly, so he climbed up with his hands and feet.

From then on, their relationship was the same as before, returning to that of a servant and his master.

Two months later, Xiaoze moved back to Prince Zhan's mansion.

On this day, it was the fifteenth day again, the night of the full moon, the day of the most yin. Huo Bingbing, as usual, took out the soul of the Demon King from the space to refine it, to prevent him from escaping and harming the three realms. However, when the refining was halfway through, Manager Fu came over and said that there was a homicide in Yingchun Restaurant, and not just one person, but many people died. He asked the princess to hurry over to deal with it.

Huo Bingbing became anxious when she heard this, and immediately followed him to Yingchun Restaurant, but left the soul of the devil in the dormitory.

About half an hour after she left, a dark shadow sneaked in and stole the devil's soul.

The nightlife in Beijing is very lively. Although it is already midnight, the streets are still crowded with people.

Especially at the gate of Yihongyuan, girls soliciting customers can be seen everywhere, and men from all walks of life come in and out of the gate, making it very lively.

However, the limelight tonight was monopolized by Yingchun Restaurant.

At this time, the entrance of Yingchong Restaurant was full of people watching the excitement. Some people just came over and didn’t know what was going on. They kept asking the onlookers, saying…

"What? What happened?"

"I heard that this restaurant bought stale food in order to get cheaper prices, which led to food poisoning and death. It's horrible. Be careful and don't eat here in the future. You may lose your life."

"No way, is it so scary?"

"Really? I heard it was all food poisoning. It was said that there were already more than a dozen bodies lying in the lobby of the restaurant. The government officials just went in. If there weren't so many onlookers and it was hard to squeeze in, I would have wanted to go in and see what was going on."

"Since the government officials have just arrived and the coroner has not yet performed the autopsy, how do you know it is food poisoning?" The person asking looked confused.

"Tsk, do we still need to test this? With so many people dying at once, it must be food poisoning. Don't you think about what makes the most profit for a restaurant? It must be the source of food. They buy it as cheaply as possible. If the food is cheap, there must be something wrong."

"Tsk, this is just your guess. Human life is at stake. I believe in speaking with facts. Let's wait for the government's coroner to verify it first."

Just as everyone was talking, suddenly, an unmanned carriage slowly drove over, and then a stunningly beautiful woman with her face covered with a veil slowly walked down from the carriage.

"The owner of the restaurant is here, please make way." Shopkeeper Fu took the lead and cleared the way for Huo Bingbing.

There was a murder in the restaurant, and it was clearly a frame-up by his arch-rival. However, he had no evidence and could not defend himself, so he had no way to handle it. He could only ask Princess Zhan to help.

Yingchun Restaurant had only opened a few months ago. As its dishes were new and delicious, its business was booming, outdoing all its competitors, especially the Huasheng Restaurant across the street. It used to have very good business, but since the opening of Yingchun Restaurant, its business has plummeted.

So, they started a fight with Yingchun Restaurant.

Whatever dishes Yingchun Restaurant offers, they immediately imitate them and sell them at half the price.

In the beginning, it was indeed possible to attract some customers, but as time went on, the customers came to realize that although the dishes of the two restaurants were the same, the taste was completely on a different level.

As a result, all the guests ran back to Yingchun Restaurant.

The owner of Huasheng Restaurant was so angry that he almost died.

So, after much thought, he came up with a vicious plan and sent people to sneak into the kitchen of Yingchun Restaurant to poison the people, which led to the collective poisoning case in the restaurant tonight.

Huo Bingbing stepped into the hall and found that the government officials were dissecting a corpse. A bloody smell hit his nose, making him frown.

"Sir, our boss is here." Shopkeeper Fu said with a smile, bending over.

"You've arrived just in time. Come on, tie him up for me." An official in official uniform, carrying Huo Bingbing on his back, stared at the corpse on the ground with a frown on his face, an angry expression.

"Yes." The two soldiers agreed, took the rope and went forward to tie Huo Bingbing up.

When Shopkeeper Fu saw this, he was scared half to death. The other party was Princess Zhan. How could this official dare to kidnap her? Was he tired of living?

If Prince Zhan knew about this, he would probably lose his official position.

"No, sir, you can't kidnap our boss. You can't kidnap him." Manager Fu was so anxious that he couldn't speak straight. When he was about to tell the official Huo Bingbing's true identity, he was stopped by Huo Bingbing.

She didn't want to make her entire business public, especially since there were so many people watching.

So, she has always been the boss behind the scenes.

If something big hadn't happened this time, she wouldn't have come.

Minister Zhao turned around, glared at Manager Fu fiercely, and said...

"There was a murder in your restaurant, and so many people died. As the boss, I am the first person responsible. No matter who he is, I must take responsibility."

Huo Bingbing nodded and said, "Your Excellency is right. If something happened to the restaurant, I, as the boss, will of course be responsible. But, Your Excellency, do you know why they died of poisoning?"

The moment Minister Zhao saw Huo Bingbing, he was stunned. He never dreamed that the boss of Yingchun Restaurant was actually a woman.

However, he quickly reacted and said, "Need I say more? A case of mass poisoning like this in the restaurant is most likely food poisoning."

"I now suspect that your food is unhygienic and not fresh, causing the guests to be poisoned and die."

Minister Zhao had seen Huo Bingbing before, but she was wearing a veil and he did not recognize her true identity.

Huo Bingbing couldn't help laughing when she heard this, and said, "Sir, have you ever thought that maybe someone deliberately poisoned you?"

Deliberate poisoning?

When everyone heard this, they were stunned for a moment.

Minister Zhao thought it was impossible, and even felt that Huo Bingbing's words in front of everyone made him lose face. He said angrily, "What nonsense! How could someone be so bold as to poison a restaurant?"

“That would kill a lot of people.”

"Besides, are you the adult? Or am I the adult? Do I need you to teach me how to investigate a case?"

Huo Bingbing's tone turned cold, and she said, "Does your Excellency mean to convict me like this?"

Minister Zhao put his hands behind his back and said with a dignified look...

"It's too early to convict now. Everything will depend on the evidence. Don't worry, I won't wrongly accuse a good person, nor will I let a bad person go."

Unexpectedly, just as he finished speaking, the coroner came over after performing the autopsy and whispered something in his ear.

"What? They were poisoned? Coroner, are you sure? Aren't the symptoms of food poisoning and deliberate poisoning the same?" Minister Zhao was shocked when he heard this. This slap in the face came too quickly.

The coroner shook his head and said...

"No, this is not food poisoning. Someone deliberately poisoned them. Therefore, the poison is more potent and that's why they died so quickly."

"If it's food poisoning, there's still a chance to save it."

"This attack was so rapid that there was no chance of rescue."

Shopkeeper Fu had been standing nearby with his ears pricked up, and when he heard them say that someone had poisoned her, he was delighted, and thought, since the government has found out that someone had poisoned her, can they release Princess Zhan?

So, he came over and asked in a servile manner, "Sir, since we have found out that someone poisoned the place, can we release it to our boss?"

"That's wishful thinking. We can't release her until the matter is fully investigated." Minister Zhao saw that many people were watching around and refused to release Huo Bingbing for the sake of his reputation. He even had her thrown into jail and said that he would release her only after the case was fully investigated.

Shopkeeper Fu just watched helplessly as the officers and soldiers took Princess Zhan away.

"Oh no, oh no, something really happened this time." He was so panicked that he didn't care about the restaurant's affairs. He hurried to Prince Zhan's mansion again, ready to tell Prince Zhan about the situation and ask him to save the princess.

Unexpectedly, when he arrived at Prince Zhan's Mansion, it was already the middle of the night, and the door of Prince Zhan's Mansion was closed, so he could not get in at all.

"Bang, bang, open the door quickly, something happened." He picked up the door knocker on the door and knocked hard.
