Xicheng Restaurant is dead.
This matter caused a lot of uproar, and within half an hour, the entire West City knew about it.
After all, Su Tang is a celebrity in the West City.
And how many people count on Su Tang to eat.
But it didn't take long for people in Xicheng to know about it.
Jingshui Tower, Zuixiao Tower, Delicacy Restaurant, and Mengjing Pavilion, everyone here knows that something happened to Su Tang.
If you say these people are fine.
But there are still many people who are paying attention to this matter.
That is Lingyin Temple in the south of the city, and Shangqing Temple in the north of the city.
The abbot and temple master inside asked the people below to pay more attention to this matter.
If Su Tang has any news, report it immediately.
In the capital city, this is considered a major case.
After all, he was dead, and he died in public.
It's not easy to put this matter anywhere.
If Su Tang hadn't gone there in time and silenced everyone with words, who knows how it would have spread.
Fortunately, Su Tang was usually very popular, so if he changed his boss, he would probably be charged with murder directly.
On the way from Xicheng Restaurant to Shuntian Mansion, Su Tang had already cleared her mind.
The person closest to her is Qi Tianyun.
Qi Tianyun looked at her from a little flustered to now calm and composed, only felt that this woman in front of her was really unusual.
Many officials in the DPRK and China are inferior to her in this ability to respond freely.
Su Tang didn't think too much about it, she just thought that the clearer would be clearer, and if she was afraid of these things, she shouldn't open a shop.
But human life is the most important thing, she would like to know what is the reason for the death of the deceased.
When Su Tang arrived at Shuntian Mansion, the woman was already crying so much that she needed someone to help her, and the child was crying so much that her voice was hoarse, and she kept calling for daddy.
It's uncomfortable to watch.
Along the way, it attracted countless people.
When Fu Yin Pei sat in court, he also felt a lot of pressure.
Especially when he saw Weiyuan Hou Qi Tianyun following behind Su Tang, he wanted to run away directly.
But he really can't run away, and this case has to be tried seriously, otherwise he will be ashamed in front of his boss.
It's not impossible to favor Su Tang, but everyone knows Hou Ye's stern and selfless face.
A shrewd person like Peifu Yin was not sure at this time, especially when he looked at Lord Hou many times, Lord Hou didn't even give any instructions.
In the end, it was Qi Tianyun who asked someone to pass the message.
He can be interrogated as he pleases, which makes Fu Yin Pei feel relieved.
Since Qi Tianyun dared to say such a thing, he absolutely believed in Su Tang.
With her character, she would never do anything intentionally harmful.
Moreover, there are doubts everywhere in this matter, and it is best to interrogate as you please.
In the courtroom, the woman's crying became quieter, and Fu Yin Pei asked directly: "Who is in the courtroom, who is the last name, and quickly explain the reason."
As soon as these words were said, the outside became quiet. Everyone wanted to eat first-hand melons, so naturally they had to listen carefully.
The woman explained what happened today.
Su Tang also heard such a complete situation for the first time.
It turned out that the woman's husband's family name was Zhu, and she traveled around with merchant ships on weekdays, returning home only once every three or four months.
After returning home this time, I took my wife and children out to eat.
I know that the fast food of Xicheng Restaurant is very famous, and it has even spread to Suzhou, Yangzhou, where there are Xicheng boxed meals everywhere on the wharf.
Yes, they call their box lunches Xicheng Bento.
Because it was passed down from the west city of the capital.
After the Zhu boatman knew about it, he must bring his wife and children over to taste it.
But after he came, the son kept making troubles, so the couple discussed and let the boatman Zhu eat first, and he went to coax the child when he was full, and then Zhu's daughter-in-law would eat again.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Chuanfu didn't finish his meal, he fell to the ground, breathed out, and died immediately!
This directly scares everyone.
Li Fan, the steward of the Xicheng restaurant, immediately asked for a doctor, but when the doctor came, he said that he was dead and could not be saved.
It just so happened that Su Tang came here to eat again, and also caught up with this matter.
Su Tang listened quietly, only felt that Zhu's daughter-in-law's words were coherent and clear, not like the words of someone who could not read.
Don't look at the short words, but every sentence touches the heart.
The husband didn't come back after three or four months, the journey was so hard, and the child was still young.
These things sound like small things.
But it quickly outlined a feeling of being poor but happy.
It makes people feel sorry for this family.
Su Tang was also distressed, at least she felt sorry for the crying child.
But this kind of words seems to be taught to women.
Just now at the entrance of Xicheng Restaurant, Su Tang felt very strongly.
It's even stronger now.
The woman's cry echoed in the courtroom, and it was really sad to hear it.
Many people outside are already criticizing Su Tang, saying that her Xicheng Restaurant has done a lot of harm.
"It's too miserable. The child lost his father at a young age."
"They came here just to take their children to rest, who would want to encounter such a thing."
"Maybe it's really because of the food?"
"Who knows, there must be something wrong with Su Tang selling the food so cheaply."
"Don't talk nonsense, Miss Su is very nice."
"Tch, who doesn't know that her family will come to your shop to buy vegetables. Are you afraid that you won't be able to do business in the future if you speak for her like this?"
There is everything outside at the moment.
The woman had finished speaking, and Fu Yin Pei frowned. He is not a particularly capable official, but he is not a vegetarian to be able to reach his current position. I always feel that this woman seems a bit weird.
After hearing the situation, Mr. Pei asked Su Tang, "Do you agree with what she said?"
Su Tang said: "My lord, Minnv was not present at the time of the incident, but this is no different from what my guy said. It's just that Minnv is a little confused."
"speak."
Su Tang faced Zhu's daughter-in-law and said, "Dare to ask Zhu's daughter-in-law, does Zhu San have any old illnesses on weekdays, and the elderly in the family have any diseases."
She suspected that there was some genetic disease in the family. If she had a sudden heart attack or died suddenly from cerebral hemorrhage, there were traces to follow.
Su Tang didn't believe that there was something wrong with the food in his shop.
Although she doesn't go there often, she knows all the merchants that supply ingredients, and they cook big pots of rice. Why is it that Zhu San is the only one who has nothing to do.
Nothing makes sense.
Su Tang continued: "My lord, we also kept the leftover meals of Zhu San, the untouched meals of Zhu's daughter-in-law, and the meals in the same pot. All of them can be used as certificates. Please help me to inspect them."
After saying these words, Su Tang didn't directly defend himself, but just wanted to put up the evidence.
Who knew that just as she closed her mouth, she heard Zhu San's daughter-in-law scream: "Is it evidence if you say it? What if you change the food halfway? The store is all your own people, of course you can say whatever you want. "
"When I was picking up the food, I asked the diners in the restaurant to help me to be a witness." Su Tang said in a deep voice, "Daughter-in-law Zhu, let me tell you the truth, Xicheng Restaurant has no reason to harm your husband. I'm also sorry, Xicheng Restaurant can completely help you find out the cause of death. But you must not insist that Xicheng Restaurant killed your husband, this difference is too big."
Su Tang's calmness was in stark contrast to Zhu's daughter-in-law.
But the strange thing is, it doesn't make people feel that Su Tang is cold-blooded, but has a feeling of inexplicable approval.
Su Tang seems like a real problem solver.
Who knew that as soon as Su Tang mentioned Wu Zuo, Zhu's daughter-in-law would have a fit: "Wu Zuo! Don't use Wu Zuo, you are not allowed to hurt my husband's body! Your Xicheng restaurant has already killed him, so why are you still ruining his body!"
Su Tang took a deep look at Zhu's wife: "Don't you want to know the cause of Zhu San's death?"
"What is the cause of death? People died in your store, so you are naturally responsible!"
As soon as these words came out, Mr. Pei understood somewhat.
But I had a headache for a while. In this case, even if the autopsy proves that the deceased died of another cause, and it was not because of the food at Xicheng Restaurant, then this daughter-in-law Zhu will definitely continue to make trouble.
After all, if people die in your store, there will be trouble.
Now it's not that Su Tang is unreasonable, but that the other party is too reasonable.
Human life is more important than the sky, even if it is not the fault of Xicheng Restaurant, then it is.
Things stalled for a while.
Even if it is found out that Zhu San died of a sudden illness, Su Tang and the others will still lose their skin.
Today is also here for the time being, the yamen still has to inspect the food of Xicheng Restaurant, and even check whether there is any problem with the ingredients provided to Xicheng Restaurant.
Xicheng Restaurant is temporarily closed.
However, the body of the deceased cannot be inspected without the consent of the family members.
Such a big restaurant suddenly closed, and the door can only be opened again after the truth is found out and the matter is over.
Every day, it is losing money.
After all, there are too many employees in the restaurant, and the daily salary is a huge sum of money.
For a while, people in the restaurant were panicked, and they didn't know whether the Xicheng Restaurant could continue to open in the future.
If it is found out that Zhu San was killed accidentally by the restaurant, what should we do
Su Tang came out of the yamen, carefully thinking about the cause and effect, always felt that this matter was full of weirdness.
But how weird it is, I can't tell yet.
Now Zhu's daughter-in-law's attitude is very clear. If someone dies on her side, she should be responsible.
But how to be responsible, but now I haven't said it.
When Su Tang returned home, seeing Qi Tianyun still following behind, he asked strangely, "Aren't you leaving?"
The guards around Qi Tianyun are already used to it.
Even if Su Tang dared to drive their Lord Hou away directly, there would be no second person in the entire Cangqin Kingdom.
Qi Tianyun said: "Someone will definitely come to you in a while, more people will give you momentum."
Su Tang thinks so too.
Someone will definitely come to the door in a while.
After all, there must be a reason for such a big fuss.
Whether you want money or your life, there is always one thing to say.
Su Tang looked at the guards behind Qi Tianyun.
Indeed, with these people behind him, those who came later would not dare to do anything.
Su Tang nodded: "That's troublesome."
"No trouble, just be a Bazhen duck and thank me later." Qi Tianyun was not polite at all.
He now understands that in front of Su Tang, he must be straightforward, otherwise she will be too sloppy.
Su Tang stared at him with wide eyes, but Qi Tianyun didn't think there was any problem at all, and sat down on the stone bench.
Sure enough, they did not expect it.
Half an hour later, a group of men carrying shoulder poles and hoes came to knock on the door. The leader was Mrs. Zhu, and there were several women behind her, obviously looking for trouble.
As they walked all the way, many people were scared to avoid them.
The woman next to Mrs. Zhu came over and burst into tears: "Oh my God, look at our girl Su Tang in Xicheng, she is said to be kind-hearted, she has a good heart, but now? Let's not talk about killing my brother. Zhu's daughter-in-law has become an orphan and a widow, how can she drag the children by herself in the future!"
"That's right! This is our fellow countryman! You restaurant killed him, didn't you show any signs of it!"
"Kill for life!"
"Su Tang, come out for me!"
These people yelled outside the door, not even entering the yard.
It's clear that I want to make a big fuss.
Su Tang and Qi Tianyun didn't get up, but asked the guards to invite people in.
These people shouted outside the door for half a quarter of an hour before they walked in and said to Su Tang, "Why do you still have the face to sit there and drink tea? You killed someone, you know!"
Su Tang glanced at them and said, "Everything is decided by the yamen. Before the yamen makes a judgment, you are going to convict me?"
Su Tang was too calm, and was not frightened by these people at all, but instead made them a little confused about what to do.
It was the woman next to Zhu's daughter-in-law who said loudly: "Do you have no conscience? You killed someone and didn't even cry?"
When Su Tang heard this, she wanted to laugh, not to mention that there were many doubts about it, but someone died in the store, and they were not in a hurry to find the doctor to find out the truth, but instead let her cry
These people haven't seen much sadness.
"What you said is terrible. If it's my fault, then I will admit it, but now the cause of death is unknown, why should I cry?" Su Tang said calmly, "What do you want to do by bypassing the court today and coming to my house to make trouble? .”
"Of course we want justice!" Zhu's daughter-in-law gritted her teeth, "You look at Mian Shan, but you are actually the most cruel! I can't be fair for a day! You don't want to open this shop for a day!"
They were arguing here, and there was already a circle of people outside.
The Zhu family first made a fuss at the entrance of the Xicheng restaurant, and they also cried in the court.
The yamen said they wanted to investigate, but they called people from their hometown to make trouble.
Su Tang and Qi Tianyun looked at each other, and vaguely understood what they wanted to do.
Nothing more than money.
Su Tang closed her eyes, she didn't expect to meet a Porcelain when opening a shop in ancient times.
She had heard it before.
Why do restaurants deliberately say that they eat bad stomachs, and that the food is not fresh so that people get sick.
But risking your life to touch porcelain
Su Tang couldn't imagine it.
Hearing this, Qi Tianyun said in a low voice: "Delay for a while, before I go to the yamen, I have asked people to check the situation at their home. The results should be forthcoming."
Su Tang nodded. There are too many problems in this matter, and it won't be resolved in a short time.
As for why Qi Tianyun didn't directly dominate the boss and help her solve all the problems
Of course it was because Qi Tianyun respected her.
When Su Tang mentioned this word in ancient times, he was actually a little bit in a trance.
She had never felt that this word could be mentioned in ancient times before, and Qi Tianyun completely trusted her, so she didn't interfere too much.
Otherwise, with his rights, he could directly tell Mr. Pei, the case would be closed today.
But Qi Tianyun didn't do that, but found out the truth bit by bit.
Su Tang saw that these people had been making trouble outside her house, and the neighbor Doufu Liu's family even sneaked over, saying that there were also people making trouble outside the Xicheng Restaurant.
This is clearly to make this matter worse.
But once Su Tang agrees to the compensation, it will be confirmed that this matter has something to do with her, and she will not be able to justify it in the future.
Things seem to be in a state of no solution.
Su Tang took a deep breath, even if he reported to the officials, there was nothing he could do. After all, if someone died in this family, he would be accused of being too tough.
It can only be said that this family has really grasped everyone's psychology, just to force her to submit.
Su Tang finally understood what it was like to be touched.
And the results of the investigation by the government office also came out, and there was no poison in the food.
The restaurant in Xicheng was turned upside down, only very fresh fruits and vegetables could be seen, chicken, pork, fish, all fresh.
Some fish are even swimming in the backyard pool.
Of course, this is not a question of ingredients.
If you want to know how Zhu San died, there is only one option left, and that is to ask for an autopsy.
But judging by the attitude of Zhu San's wife, how could she agree to the autopsy
Su Tang listened to the voices outside, waiting for the person who found out about the situation of the Zhu family to come.
But it wasn't Qi Tianyun's people who were waiting, but the butcher's family and Uncle Song of the grain shop.
Su Tang opened other doors to let them in.
The butcher's family said directly: "The dead Zhu San, he is a scoundrel!"
After saying this, Su Tang smiled at Qi Tianyun: "You asked someone to investigate this family before you went to the Yamen. Coincidentally, I did the same thing. And my people are faster than yours."
That's for sure, they are both in Xicheng, the Butcher's family and the Song family are locals, so it's too easy to know who's going on.
Qi Tianyun raised his eyebrows: "Listen first before talking."
No wonder Su Tang wasn't nervous at all, he was just waiting for news.
She is so smart.
The Butcher's family and the Song family began to tell what they knew.
It turned out that Zhu San was a gangster in Dongcheng. He was the one who fought and cheated, so he couldn't marry a wife.
But for some reason, it seemed that he had a good relationship with a merchant, so he went directly to work as a boatman on the merchant's boat, so he married his current wife.
But the two often quarreled, and their relationship was not necessarily very good.
Fortunately, after having a child, the two calmed down a bit.
Unexpectedly, this happened again.
After hearing these things, Su Tang asked directly: "Which merchant does Zhu San work in?"
"This is the point! The merchant ship that Zhu San works on belongs to the Wang family, and this Wang family is Liang Shi's Yue's family!" Liu the butcher said harshly, "If it weren't for the few brothers I met at the dock, I wouldn't have been able to inquire about such a secret matter, after all. It's twisted and twisted, who knows who."
Su Tang had some impression of Liang Shi's name.
When she was with Huang Yuetong in Mengjing Pavilion, Huang Yuetong reminded her to be careful with Liang Shi, he is not a good guy.
Is everything his plan
Set up a fairy dance, just to let her fall into the quagmire, and then wait for someone to save her
At that time, for the sake of the Xicheng restaurant, for the sake of opening the shop early, and for the sake of my own reputation, if I don't agree with Liang Shi, I have to agree.
It's just that at that time, it wasn't any kind of cooperation, probably it was Liang Shi who showed mercy by not letting her sign the contract of sale.
Su Tang learned about the situation with the butchers Liu and Song Bo, and Qi Tianyun's people also came back, and the situation they said was similar to these.
However, they also found out that it was the servant of Liang Shi's family who watched the whole process in front of the court, and there was also a servant of Liang Shi's family outside the door.
Now everything is clear.
It must be this Liang Shi who caused trouble.
Butcher Liu couldn't hold back any longer, his temper wasn't good in the first place.
When a person died in Xicheng Restaurant, many people said that the meat he sold to Xicheng Restaurant was not good, so he ate the dead person.
This made him so angry that he would sell stale pork to Xicheng Restaurant
Isn't this smashing his signboard
Besides, how can there be so many sick pigs, and the stale pigs are given to Xicheng Restaurant.
They just went to other places to buy pork, which is usually not enough to sell, okay
Uncle Song was in almost the same situation. He provided a lot of rice and noodles, but sometimes it was fruit and vegetables. He could also help to contact them.
The two of them were the first to bear the brunt of this incident.
Now that I know that someone is behind the scenes deliberately causing trouble, how can I not be angry.
But now it's just speculation, they have no evidence at all.
Su Tang looked outside the door and said lightly, "Isn't the evidence just outside the door?"
Now that a trap is set, let her get in, and then the people behind will come to negotiate terms.
You can't set up such a big bureau, but don't accept Internet cafes.
Su Tang thanked the butcher's family and the Song family and asked them to go back first.
It only takes a few days of work, and it should be able to handle it well.
If you know who is behind it, it will be easy to solve.
But before Butcher Liu left, Su Tang asked him to do one more thing.
That is to inquire about the character of Zhu San, who passed away, when he was with the boat, and how his relationship with the master's family was.
Then ask the Zhu family what happened recently, and tell her no matter how big or small it is.
If things go wrong, there must be a demon, there must be some details they don't know, that's why Zhu San is willing to die, so that Liang Shihao has a handle in her hands.
As for the people outside the door, let them make trouble if they want to, and come in to negotiate terms after enough trouble, she is not in a hurry anyway.
Whoever is in a hurry will be the first to talk about things.
Qi Tianyun saw that she handled things in an orderly manner, and everything was under control, he felt emotional again, he really saw the right person.
Su Tang has such ability.
After all these people left, Qi Tianyun said: "My jade pendant can be taken out at any time when needed."
If the jade pendant of Marquis Weiyuan was taken out, would it still take so many twists and turns
But if he took it out, he would have to salute Qi Tianyun when he saw Qi Tianyun in the future!
Su Tang waved his hand immediately: "Don't worry, I'm not afraid."
"It's not that you are afraid, but I just want you to ask me to do something." Qi Tianyun said calmly, "I will be very happy when you ask me to do something."
In this world, there are too many people who want to ask Weiyuan Hou Qi Tianyun to do something.
But none of them could fall into Qi Tianyun's eyes.
But he wanted Su Tang to ask him to do something, but this woman refused.
Su Tang patted Qi Tianyun on the shoulder: "Then just wait, what if I never beg you?"
It is possible.
The corner of Qi Tianyun's mouth curled up: "Then we'll wait and see?"
It was getting late, and Qi Tianyun couldn't stay longer, so he left directly from the side.
But before leaving, he told the guards to take good care of Su Tang's yard and not let anyone hurt her.
As for other matters, Qi Tianyun was not worried, Su Tang would definitely be able to handle them well.
The facts were exactly as Qi Tianyun thought.
After Su Tang knew the truth of the matter, he was not in a hurry at all.
She just needs to wait for Liang Shi to come to the door.
Besides, the government office is still investigating the case, even if the government office is slow in investigating the case, she doesn't care.
Anyway, she is not in a hurry.
It's just that some people thought she was in a hurry.
The Liang family.
The door of Liang Shi's study room was knocked loudly.
Liang Shi's concubine was so frightened that she went straight into Liang Shi's arms: "Master, when Madam comes in later, she will definitely scold me."
"What are you afraid of, the master is protecting you." Liang Shi sneered.
"Master is really amazing. After a small test, he couldn't even open Su Tangzheng's shop. He might be crying at home." The concubine smiled coquettishly. It was fun."
"Yeah, she must be very anxious." Liang Shi couldn't mention how happy he was.
Don't you want to cooperate with him
Aren't you throwing face at him? Let's see who can beat who!
In the next second, the door of the study was smashed open. Liang Shi's wife was so angry that her hands were shaking, she pointed at Liang Shi and said, "What did you do with my natal family's boat! Tell me quickly! Did you force Zhu San to death!"
Chapter 67
