Transmigrated into Substitute Bride 'Fu Lang'

"Boss, something happened in the shop."

Chen Xing, whose cheeks were flushed because of being bumped into by Qiu Jiu, was startled when he heard Qiu Jiu's words, and the blood on his face faded away. He suddenly turned his head to look at Qiu Jiu, and asked eagerly, "What's going on?"

When Qiu Jiu came in, he felt a chill shrouded his body, and he couldn't help shivering just now, but when he heard Chen Xing's question, he didn't bother to search where the chill came from, and directly Facing the anxious Chen Xing, he said: "Qiu Shi said that Xiao Huang died from foaming at the mouth after eating. I guess there is something wrong with the ingredients in the store."

Surprise appeared on Chen Xing's face, and then he hurriedly said, "Let's go over and have a look."

"Ah."

Although the store is now open, Chen Xing is still not as busy as he imagined. Usually, the shop assistants go to prepare the ingredients first, and he goes there later to guide how to do it.The clerk is very conscious, and he is very relieved about it.At this time, he suddenly heard that something happened in the store, and he was worried, so he hurriedly tidied up and rushed to the restaurant.

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing's eager back from behind, sighed, looked at the blood on the handkerchief that looked like a red plum, smiled softly, and muttered in a low voice: "It turns out that rabbits can really bite when they are anxious. of."

When Chen Xing and the others rushed to the small restaurant together, they saw Qiu Shi and the others were all in the backyard, surrounding the cat that was said to have died of poisoning.

Seeing Chen Xing and the others coming, Qiuwu and the others greeted them in unison. Qiushi, who was fiddling with the cat corpse and trying to figure out how the cat died, also put down his things and slowly He stood up and said to them, "Little Boss, Big Boss."

Chen Xing nodded to him, then came to the cat corpse, and saw that the original cat was lying there, with a calm abdomen, rolled its eyes, and stuck out its tongue. It seemed that there was no sign of survival at all.

This cat was originally a stray cat, and it was only active in this area. Later, I don’t know if the food in their restaurant is too delicious, or because of other reasons, this cat will come to them every few days to help catch mice.

Seeing this, Chen Xing also felt that it would be nice to have a cat with strong fighting power, which could prevent the flood of rats. He also had an extra pet at the time, so he specially made small dried fish for it, and ordered the helpers in the shop to Seeing the cat coming, he mixed the dried fish with other food and gave it to the cat as a thank you for its help in catching mice.It's just that I didn't expect that the cat, who was still alive and kicking when I met a few days ago, would look like this when I met today.

Chen Xing pursed his lips in discomfort, but the most urgent task now is to find out what happened.Thinking of this, he looked at the people beside him, and said in a low voice, "How do you know you were poisoned? Why did you get poisoned here?"

The four people who were asked looked at each other, then Qiushi came out and told the situation in detail, "I guessed this way, the cat was still alive and kicking when it came in, and it was about to die There are no signs. After we fed it according to your instructions, little boss, it became what it is now. Thinking about it this way, this problem should have appeared in our store."

Chen Xing was shocked, and felt that Qiu Shi's words were correct. Although he thought that there should be nothing in their shop that could poison cats, but the fact that the cat died in front of him meant that there must be something wrong there.

This made Chen Xing unavoidably a little scared.If a cat eats it and dies, what happens if a person eats it?Fortunately, they found out in time now, it's just pity for the cat.

Looking at the little guy who couldn't breathe, Chen Xing's expression was a bit ugly, Gu Lang who was next to him patted him on the shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Don't think about it, we have more important things to do now, We need to hurry up and find out what's wrong in the store."

Feeling the powerful warmth of patting himself, Chen Xing nodded, and took another look at the cat, thinking that the matter was over, so he buried it properly, which could be regarded as a condolence to it.

Chen Xing asked everyone to wrap the cat's body in a white cloth first, and then asked the cook to recall what the cat ate when it came.

This time it was Aunt Zhao, the helper, who came out to speak. She looked at the people around her, and then at the things wrapped in white cloth. She was a little scared and thought that luckily she didn't take a bite of the cat's food. Otherwise, she might be the one who fell to the ground right now.

"Auntie, think about it carefully, what do you do for it to eat?"

When Aunt Zhao heard the gentle voice of the little boss, she was pulled back to her thoughts, and she responded softly, and said directly: "I saw it coming today, according to the little boss's instructions, use fish, eggs, Carrots, a little more of the dishes delivered today, and your dried fish, little boss, made it a meal, and left the rest alone."

This rich meal made Aunt Zhao feel distressed. If it was in the past, she felt that she would have to compete with this little beast for a meal.It's just that the food was good after coming here, so she endured it, and now she is also glad that she has restrained it.

After listening to Aunt Zhao's words, Chen Xing felt that there was nothing wrong with these, but to be on the safe side, he asked everyone to check all the ingredients that Aunt Zhao said, and after checking these, check the other unused ones again.

Just when the few people in the small restaurant were busy, there was a sudden noise outside the door. When Chen Xing and the others heard the noise, they immediately saw four officials wearing sabers.

Chen Xing looked at the four officials, and his heart skipped a beat, with a bad feeling in his heart.

Seeing that someone had come out, the officer stepped forward and said directly: "Who is in charge of your work here?"

Listening to this unfavorable conversation, and looking at the menacing appearance of these officials, Chen Xing's bad premonition became more and more intense. He endured the palpitations and asked politely: "I don't know how many officials are here. , why?"

Seeing that he didn't answer the question, the officer who asked the question suddenly became angry, and just about to open his mouth to teach Chen Xing a few words, the officer behind him pulled him and whispered something in his ear.

After the officer's expression changed for a short while, he looked up at Chen Xing and the two men following him, and said directly: "Someone reported that you ate the food here and killed him, and now he is waiting in the yamen , we need to take the manager of your store back to investigate."

Chen Xing was startled all of a sudden. He originally thought that Xiao Huang's accident was serious, but he didn't expect that he even lost his life.But he couldn't figure it out, how could his small restaurant eat dead people?

Just when Chen Xing was in a turmoil, Gu Lang, who had been quietly beside him, stood up and said to the officials in front of him, "I am the owner of this store."

"Then please come with us!" The officer glanced at him up and down, seeing that his face was pale and weak, he couldn't help but a little more contemptuously, and said in a less polite tone.

"it is good."

Chen Xing suddenly came back to his senses, looked at Gu Lang next to him, and wanted to stop him, but he didn't expect that before he finished speaking, Gu Lang pressed his lips, looked at him and coaxed in a low voice : "It's not suitable for you as a brother to go to that kind of place, don't worry, wait at home for me to come back."

Chen Xing was stunned for a moment. He has been here for so long, except for occasional jokes from diners, he almost forgot his identity.

After Gu Lang finished talking with Chen Xing, he saw that he didn't answer any more, thinking that he had listened, and then glanced at Qiu Jiu next to him. The officer in the distance said flatly, "Master, let's go."

Seeing him at such a time, the official still didn't forget the romance, so he couldn't help but sneered, "Then let's go!"

Gu Lang nodded slightly, walked to the official post under the gaze of everyone, and then walked towards the yamen in the first place.That calm and breezy posture didn't look like being interrogated at all, but rather like being invited to drink tea.

Looking at the back of Gu Lang leaving, Chen Xing seemed to have just remembered, and raised his foot to follow, but before he could move half a step, he was pulled back by Qiu Jiu and the others behind him.

"Little boss, it's useless for you to go now. They won't let us see the process by taking the big boss to interrogate now." Qiu Jiu looked at Chen Xing with an anxious face, and couldn't help explaining, "For the present plan, Only by investigating the situation as soon as possible can we let the big boss get away early."

Hearing what he said, Chen Xing felt that what he said was reasonable, so he forced himself to calm down, and after thinking for a while, he looked at the people around him and ordered them one by one: "Qiu Shi and Xiao Wang went out together to find out who it is. He ate something from our shop and died."

Speaking of this, Chen Xing paused for a moment, as if he was a little entangled, but quickly continued: "It would be the best if we could find out why they sued us to the Yamen and know their demands. "

Chen Xing felt that there must be no problem with the ingredients in his store. Now two difficult things happened one day in succession. They could only be framed by others, but they don't know who framed them so generously.

Chen Xing had heard before that a well-run store would attract malicious competition from others, but he had never encountered one who was well protected by his family, and only now did he know that people were sinister.Neither he nor Gu Lang had any background, and now that they were being targeted, they still adopted such an extreme method, so the forces behind them must be quite large.

Chen Xing prepared the worst plan. If he couldn't find a way to prove their innocence, even if he gave up everything he had now, he couldn't let Gu Lang who followed him to the Yamen have an accident.

Chen Xing took another deep breath, looked at the rest of the people and said, "Aunt Zhao, Xiao Wang, Qiu Jiu, let's check everything in the store together to make sure we find out all the poisonous things."

"Yes!" Several people responded in unison.

Chen Xing asked them to go to the kitchen to check first, and walked to the door by himself, preparing to disperse the people watching the excitement.

Looking at Chen Xing's background, Qiu Jiu admired him for calming down so quickly and thinking of countermeasures. Chen Xing's performance was much better than those little brothers who would only cry when encountering things. .

Before stepping out of the door, Chen Xing took a deep breath, and then raised a smiling face to greet the pedestrians outside who hadn't left because they were watching the excitement, "Everyone, the restaurant is temporarily busy today, so we can't entertain guests, please forgive me! "
