The middle-aged man was sleeping soundly because his headache had been relieved.

The man in black broke in through the window, grabbed him up, and tied him up. In the moonlight, he pointed the shining knife at the man's neck and applied force secretly.

"You... who are you!! What... what are you going to do?" The middle-aged man stuttered in fear.

The headache that had been relieved started to come out again to torture him, accompanied by the pain of being forcibly woken from a deep sleep. Even though he was full of anger, he gave in when faced with the cold knife.

"Let's talk it over nicely, you robbed her of her money and her body?"

The man in black said, "Pah!" "Who would rape you with this thing?"

"Robbery? No problem, just don't kill me!" The middle-aged man looked a little calmer than the young man.

"Tell me the truth, who ordered you to cause trouble today?"

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, looked at the man in black, and said, "Are you from Xusheng Restaurant?"

"Stop talking nonsense, I'll just kill you!" The knife stabbed into the man's flesh, and he screamed in pain.

"Please spare my life, sir! I won't waste any more words! I really won't waste any more words!" The man cried in pain and begged bitterly.

"After having dinner at Xusheng Restaurant yesterday, I found someone following me home. He said that he would give me ten taels of silver if I performed this play tomorrow, and even more if I did well! I thought it was a piece of cake, so I agreed to him!" The man confessed everything immediately and began to talk about how kind he was, but how he was bewitched by the devil and did such a heinous thing. He said that he would definitely turn over a new leaf in the future. The man in black became very impatient after listening to him.

"Don't say these useless things! Did you see clearly what the person who is looking for you looks like?"

The middle-aged man shook his head honestly. "He was wearing a bamboo hat, so I couldn't see clearly, but he was definitely a man, thin and tall. When he gave me the money, I was quite close to him and could smell a faint scent of flowers. I even cursed him for being a sissy in my heart!"

"What else?" the man in black asked.

"My dear, you are really gone! If you tell a lie, God will strike you with lightning!" The middle-aged man swore verbally and looked honest.

The man in black nodded, and then threatened viciously: "If I see you doing this again, I will cut off your tongue!"

The middle-aged man immediately closed his mouth tightly and nodded continuously. He watched the man in black jump out of the window again and disappear into the night. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, feeling that he had finally saved his life.

The man in black nimbly jumped over the wall of the palace and took off his clothes. It turned out to be Mu Zhou.

When he was interrogating the two men just now, although they said that the man was wearing a hat and they couldn't see his appearance clearly, he still exposed himself.

A tall and thin man with burn scars on his wrists and the scent of flowers on his body... He frowned slightly and had already locked onto one person.

Before dawn, Mu Zhou hurried out again.

When Du Ran asked Mu Zhou to go out and find hardworking and handsome men, he searched the entire Yuecheng, but no one was willing to do this kind of work, so he had to go out of the city and go to several remote towns at the foot of the mountain to find these handsome men to come to the store. Therefore, Xusheng Restaurant of course provided them with food and lodging.

At this time, Mu Zhou was standing at the door of a room in the restaurant. Hearing no movement inside, he kicked the door and entered.

The man on the bed was awakened.

"You sleep, I'll find something!" Mu Zhou said lightly, as if this house belonged to Mu Zhou.

Men are even more confused.

"Manager Mu, what are you looking for?" The man got up, with messy hair, misty eyes and half-exposed chest muscles, revealing sexiness everywhere.

As soon as Mu Zhou entered the house, he smelled a faint fragrance. It was because of this smell that many girls were obsessed with him, and of course there were also men who were obsessed with him.

"Find evidence of your crime!" Mu Zhou said casually, as if it was not a very important matter.

But the man became nervous, and even his smile became unnatural: "Boss, what criminal evidence? You don't think I was the one who poisoned our restaurant, do you?"

Mu Zhou suddenly turned around, a shrewd smile in his eyes: "I never said that someone poisoned the restaurant? How did you know?"

The man began to panic and explained in a panic: "I just heard about it. Didn't someone come to our door yesterday and falsely accuse us of poisoning our food?"

"Shen Jian, I have to say, you have a pretty good brain!" Mu Zhou praised with a grin, but his smile did not reach his eyes.

The man called Shen Jian was silent for a while, then ran out.

If Mu Zhou is compared to a cat, then Shen Jian is a mouse. How could a cat let the mouse run away right under its nose?

So, as soon as Shen Jian stepped out of the door, Mu Zhou grabbed his neck and threw him in.

At this point, the balance of power emerges.

After Shen Jian threw him back three times in his attempts to escape, he became completely desperate and had no strength to escape anymore.

Mu Zhou finally found some time to continue looking for something. Suddenly, he found a small package under Shen Jian's pillow. He deliberately picked it up and shook it in front of Shen Jian.

Shen Jian looked ashen and tried to explain something, but was silenced by Mu Zhou.

"Now is not the time to talk. When you meet the queen, you can speak freely!" Mu Zhou clicked his tongue, then threw him into the open space in the restaurant lobby like a chicken.

"Manager Mu, you can do whatever you want to me. I will never resist. I only ask you not to hand me over to the princess or to the government, otherwise I'll be finished!" Shen Jian pulled the clothes off his shoulders, revealing his white and strong shoulders. The look in his eyes when he looked at Mu Zhou was also somewhat tempting and teasing.

Unfortunately, Mu Zhou didn't buy it. He kicked him and said with some disdain: "I don't like men!"

Shen Jian was half-kneeling on the ground in a messy manner, breathing heavily because of the pain.

"Shen Jian, do you know that poisoning a well is a serious crime? The lightest punishment is fifty lashes of the cane and ten years in prison, while the worst is exile?" Mu Zhou looked at Shen Jian with some gloating.

Hearing this, Shen Jian's defense broke down. For such a young man, no matter how serious the crime was, if he was sentenced to prison, his life would be over, so he regarded Mu Zhou as his only life-saving straw.

Shen Jian crawled on his knees to Mu Zhou's feet, then cried and said how innocent he was, saying that he had only put some vomiting and diarrhea-inducing medicine into the restaurant's water well.

"Just poison the restaurant? Don't you know that the water from the well leads directly to the river, and if the river water is polluted, the water use of the entire Yuecheng will be affected. Don't you think it's serious?" Mu Zhou looked at Shen Jian coldly and asked back.

After hearing what Mu Zhou said, Shen Jian burst into tears: "How could it be so serious?"

"If you did this alone, you will go to jail!"

Shen Jian wiped his tears and whispered, "If someone else had instructed me to do this, would I still have to go to jail?"

"Someone else instructed you to do it? Don't be ridiculous. You are from Xusheng Restaurant. Who would have such a deep hatred for our restaurant that they would ask you to poison?" Mu Zhou pretended not to believe it and led Shen Jian step by step to reveal the person behind the scenes.
