After the system ran, I took off with my family
Chapter 309 Eavesdropping in the Restaurant
"Humph, if you can't win the argument, just run away. He's lucky. If we weren't in a restaurant, I would have beaten him to tears!"
Qingzhi puffed up her face and sat down cursing.
The round-faced boy who served the dishes placed the dishes tremblingly and then retreated tremblingly. He had just seen clearly that although this boy looked thin and weak, he had a very powerful mouth.
Qinghe, who had been silent all this time, pursed her lips. She was also very angry, but she was not good at speaking and could not curse.
However, Qingzhi's curses really made her feel relieved, so she decided to find Qingzhi after dinner and ask Qingzhi to teach her how to curse.
"Okay, everyone's gone, don't be angry, let's eat."
Lin Shuyue used a serving chopstick to pick up a piece of food for each of them, and said meaningfully: "Don't be angry, they will get their comeuppance."
Qinghe and Qingzhi looked at each other tacitly when they heard the words, and the anger in their hearts dissipated. Having been with the young lady for so long, they knew that their young lady was not the kind of person who would do things without a purpose.
Perhaps it was because Qingzhi's scolding just now was too fierce, the guests around did not mention the girl from the Zhao family anymore. Most of them just focused on eating. However, a few people talked about the temple fair at Qingfeng Temple on Zigui Mountain outside the city.
It turns out that the sixth day of this month is the birthday of Dongyang Tianzun. At this time every year, Qingfeng Temple holds a temple fair, which lasts for six days from the first to the fifth day. It is said that the temple fair is very lively and the master of Qingfeng Temple will preach on the fifth day.
Lin Shuyue listened and became curious about the Dongyang Tianzun they mentioned. She had never been to a Taoist temple since she came to this world, so she always thought that Taoist temples worshipped gods such as the Three Pure Ones or the Jade Emperor. Could it be that this imaginary world even had different beliefs?
However, tomorrow is the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, so I can go to the temple fair. There is no need to rush anyway.
After finishing her meal, she sat for a while before leaving with Qinghe and Qingzhi. However, they did not return to the inn, but went to a small restaurant opposite the county government office.
The small restaurant is run by a couple. There are only eight tables in the restaurant. At this time, only five or six tables are occupied, and it seems that they are all regular customers of the restaurant.
"Young Master, what are we doing here?" Qing He was a little confused. Didn't they just finish their meal?
"Sit down, you'll know soon."
Lin Shuyue smiled mysteriously, then called the restaurant owner over and ordered a few side dishes and a pot of wine.
After waiting for a while, the restaurant owner quickly served the dishes and brought a pot of wine, and greeted with a smile: "Sir, your dishes are all here, please enjoy!"
The appetizers were a plate of braised pig ears, a plate of peanuts, and a plate of cold-mixed shredded vegetables.
Lin Shuyue asked the two little girls to eat, then poured herself a glass of wine. She first smelled it, took a sip, and then picked up some food with chopsticks, just like the regular customers at other tables in the restaurant.
Qinghe and Qingzhi had no idea what their young lady's purpose was, but they just sat there obediently and waited quietly.
After sitting for about two quarters of an hour, Lin Shuyue had already finished half of the wine in the small wine pot in her hand, and one table of guests left the restaurant and two more came.
"I'm starving. I feel like I can eat a whole cow right now..."
"Hey, kid, don't think I didn't see you eating the cake secretly."
"Ha, that little bit of bread is not enough to fill you up. Oh, it's all Zhao Han's fault. He didn't care about his daughter's death. We had to go to her house and the neighbors to visit her. It's already 4 p.m. and we haven't had a hot meal yet."
The voices came from far away and soon, two officers in official uniforms with swords on their waists appeared at the door of the restaurant.
Lin Shuyue lowered her eyes slightly. The person she was waiting for finally came.
"Hey, Constable Liu, Constable Lin, please come in. Why are you here so late today?"
The restaurant owner flicked his towel, walked over with a smile, and spoke in a familiar tone.
The shorter officer said to Shopkeeper Gao helplessly, "Oh, don't mention it. It's all about the case. Old Gao, it's the same as always. Bring me another pot of strong tea. We have to continue working this afternoon."
"Okay, fine, you two go first..." Manager Gao looked around the store and found that there were no empty tables.
Just as he was about to check which table was about to finish, the guest at the table behind Lin Shuyue suddenly stood up excitedly and waved to Constable Liu: "Brother Si Jin, there's a seat here."
Liu Sijin heard the sound and looked over. When he saw the man, he immediately grinned and pulled Constable Lin towards the table.
Lin Shuyue listened quietly to the greetings of the people behind her. The guests at the table behind her should be from the same village as Constable Liu, and the two seemed to have a good relationship.
She listened to the people behind her chatting for a while, and finally they talked about something she cared about.
Then Liu Erhu, a fellow villager of Constable Liu, lowered his voice and asked curiously, "Brother Sijin, did something happen in the county? When I entered the city today, I found that the guards at the city gate had started checking the household registration."
Constable Liu took a sip of strong tea and frowned, "Something happened. A little girl died last night and her body was thrown on the street."
"This... this is too cruel. Who is so vicious?" Liu Erhu widened his eyes in shock.
Constable Liu shook his head. Thinking of the results of the autopsy in the morning, he felt a little upset, so he changed the subject and asked casually, "Why did you come to the city today? Is Auntie okay?"
Liu Erhu has always been a carefree person, so he didn't ask any more questions. He scratched his head and smiled innocently after hearing his words: "Brother Sijin, my father found a ginseng in the mountains yesterday. He came to the city to sell it today. He also took my mother to Jishitang. The medicine prescribed by the old doctor in the village didn't seem to work."
Constable Liu's expression froze for a moment, then he shook his head helplessly. This idiot was still so stupid, telling everything without fear of others' bad intentions.
Constable Lin, who had been eating quietly, paused and looked up at Liu Erhu in surprise.
"That's great. Doctor Zhong from Jishiditang is a good doctor. Aunt's illness should be cured soon. By the way, are you, Uncle Liushui, and Aunt going into the city? Your sister..."
"My sister also went to the city, but she went to the embroidery workshop. She embroidered several purses these days. I heard that the owner of the embroidery workshop liked my sister's embroidery very much and said that he wanted my sister to work as an embroiderer in the embroidery workshop."
Liu Erhu ate the food in the bowl with big mouthfuls and cheerfully interrupted Constable Liu.
However, he didn't know that as soon as he finished speaking, Constable Liu and Constable Lin's faces changed at the same time.
Constable Liu grabbed Liu Erhu's wrist and looked at him solemnly: "Erhu, go to the embroidery workshop to find your sister right now. When you find her, take her back to Jishitang. Wait for Aunt to finish seeing the doctor, and then leave the city immediately. Don't let your sister come into the city for the time being. Do you hear me?"
Liu Erhu was startled by his action, "Brother Sijin, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing his solemn expression, an idea suddenly flashed in her not-so-bright brain: "Brother Si Jin, are you worried that the murderer who killed someone last night will hurt my sister?
That's impossible. My sister doesn't know him. Besides, there are so many people in the embroidery workshop. He wouldn't be so stupid as to attack my sister."
