"Madam, something unexpected happened in our tavern."

"Someone drank and dined here and unfortunately got food poisoning."

The owner of the tavern, sweating profusely, hurried over to report: "I have already invited the most skilled doctor in Chinese medicine in Jindu City, but the poisoned person still insists that Madam show up in person to seek justice."

This tavern, which belongs to the distinguished Prince Duan's Mansion, was deserted in the past and had poor business. However, recently, under Lei Hua's careful management, it not only introduced many innovative delicacies, but also specially hired talented storytellers to entertain, making the business increasingly prosperous.

Originally, the owner of the wine shop dreamed of smiling faces every night, and was intoxicated with the joy of success. Unexpectedly, joy turned into sorrow, and he encountered such an unexpected event. Lei Hua happened to be busy with the affairs of other shops, and the owner had no choice but to ask Gu Qinlan for help.

After hearing this, Gu Qinlan already understood the whole story.

This was a tactic used by Luo's mother to force her to come forward in person.

Gu Qinlan felt annoyed when she thought of Mother Luo's cunning tricks.

Fu Yu was extremely angry and stamped her feet repeatedly: "This is really outrageous! This Luo Ma is simply evil to the extreme! Girl, you must not go to see her."

Hongye also said angrily: "Based on her methods alone, we can tell that this person is very scheming and should not be contaminated."

Gu Qinlan said firmly, "Of course, she can't show up easily. Not only can she not meet, but she must also understand that our Prince Duan's Mansion is not a target that can be provoked at will."

Otherwise, if she continued to avoid him, Luo's mother would definitely come up with other tricks. Although the impact on her was limited, it was enough to make people unhappy.

Fu Yu's eyes lit up: "Girl, do you have a plan?"

Gu Qinlan chuckled: "It's a small matter, come with me, let's go watch a good show."

After carefully disguising themselves, the master and his two servants quietly set out from the back door of Prince Duan's Mansion. The owner of the tavern also returned to the tavern.

When we arrived at the tavern, we saw a crowd of people gathered in front of the door. One of the people was lying on a stretcher, groaning in pain. Several men with fierce looks around him were making loud noises, demanding that the owner of the tavern come out and give an answer.

Fu Yu was furious when she saw this scene and was about to step forward to argue, but was stopped by Gu Qinlan in time.

"Don't worry, I have made proper arrangements."

At this moment, someone in the crowd said loudly: "This restaurant has been in business for many years, but I have never heard of anyone getting food poisoning from it."

"The shopkeeper has already expressed his willingness to compensate and has even invited the best doctor. Why are they still dissatisfied? Is there something fishy going on?"

Haven't you noticed that this is clearly a deliberate provocation and a deliberate attempt to create trouble? The so-called discomfort after eating is actually just coveting the fact that Prince Duan's mansion has no one to support it, and trying to take advantage of the situation and bully it.

These sharp words from the crowd suddenly made many onlookers realize the truth.

Yes, this restaurant is indeed owned by Prince Duan’s Mansion!

For a time, the people were outraged.

"This is really too much. Everyone knows that this restaurant belongs to Prince Duan's Mansion. Prince Duan's Mansion is a loyal family. Prince Zheng is currently guarding the northern border and has not yet returned victorious. Only the elderly, the weak, women and children are left in the mansion. They rely on these properties to make a living. There are actually people who would take advantage of their misfortune. It is really chilling!"

"Yes, if Prince Zheng knew that he fought bloody battles on the border to defend his homeland, while his relatives were bullied like this, he would be extremely painful."

"We must not let the heroes' hearts grow cold, otherwise who will be willing to step forward, charge into battle, and drive out the enemy? If no one is willing to go to the battlefield, then won't we, the common people, suffer?"

"In my opinion, the people who are stirring up trouble in these restaurants have ulterior motives. Aren't they spies sent by the enemy country?"

Gu Qinlan carefully deployed several people who hid in the crowd and skillfully incited emotions, instantly making the onlookers alert.

Those troublemakers who started the incident began to feel nervous and fearful as they listened to the people's increasingly outrageous yet seemingly reasonable speculations.

"They are guilty! They must be spies! Quick, surround them and prevent them from escaping!"

The people quickly gathered and surrounded the troublemakers.

The man lying on the stretcher pretending to be seriously ill jumped up hurriedly: "Everyone, please misunderstand, we are not spies, we are just..."

"Just what just! Don't trust them, these guys must be spies!"

"How dare the spies stir up trouble in our Western Wei territory and bully our prince's family! Fellow villagers, the Duke of Duan's Mansion has been loyal and brave for generations, almost all of them have sacrificed their lives to protect the peace of our country. Now, it is our turn to stand up and protect their families! Let's work together to execute these ambitious people on the spot!"

We also know who launched the attack first, but once someone took the lead, other onlookers also joined in the action of "protecting the prince's family."

The crowd punched and kicked the troublemakers hard, making them scream in pain. The scene was extremely intense.

"Help me..."

"We were wrong, we will never dare to do it again..."

"Please, let us go..."

"We are really not spies..."

At first, those people could still struggle and beg for mercy at the top of their lungs, but gradually, their voices became weaker until they were completely silent.

Seeing the situation getting out of control, the owner of the restaurant was terrified and rushed over to persuade them: "Everyone, please show mercy. If someone dies, it will affect our livelihood. You know, Prince Duan's Mansion relies on this business to make a living."

After hearing this, the people thought it made sense and put down their weapons.

The followers arranged by Gu Qinlan immediately shouted loudly: "No, we can't let these spies go easily, quickly, escort them to the government office!"

"Yes, send them to the government office and let them have a taste of what it's like to be behind bars!"

As a result, the perpetrators were dragged all the way to the government office by the angry people like dead dogs.

Soon, the noise in front of the restaurant gradually subsided, and the crowd dispersed, leaving only mottled bloodstains and a few broken teeth on the ground. These were the traces left by the perpetrators, enough to prove how brutally they had beaten the people just now.

Fu Yu looked at the backs of the crowd as they walked away, smiling from ear to ear.

"I just kicked those guys hard a few times. It was really satisfying! It's a pity that there were too many people and I was pushed aside."

Hongye smiled and responded: "I don't know if those people will betray Luo's mother."

Gu Qinlan pondered and said, "It depends on whether they are afraid of revenge."

Fu Yu turned around and asked curiously, "Girl, should we take revenge on Mother Luo?"

Gu Qinlan shook her head gently: "Not yet."

She had no intention of confronting Luo's mother head-on. Luo's mother was cunning, and she didn't want to cooperate with her, nor did she want to have a grudge against her. She hoped that today's incident would make Luo's mother understand her position.

But if Luo's mother doesn't know how to restrain herself, she will make her understand that she is not an easy person to deal with.
