Chapter 22

With Mu Chuqian's help, the roast duck restaurant finally opened smoothly.Because the taste is better, there are many people who patronize it.Especially wealthy families, they basically come to place orders every day, keeping Gu Wenbin and his wife so busy that they never touch the ground.

And Zeng Xiaoxiao is also a geek. Not only did he set up a daily lucky draw, but he also launched a daily big eater challenge on the spot. Every time he ate a roast duck, he was rewarded with [-] coins, which attracted people from all over the world to come to challenge. The business is also getting bigger and bigger.

On this day, Zeng Xiaoxiao opened for business as usual.

"My lord, someone ate our roast duck and fell down." A waiter came to report.

"Let's go and have a look." Zeng Xiaoxiao, who was inspecting the dishes in the back kitchen, put down the tools in his hand and rushed over immediately.

Passing through the crowd of onlookers, Zeng Xiaoxiao leaned over to check.

The man who fell to the ground had white eyes, foaming at the mouth, and his body was still twitching. He looked very scary.

"Father, don't scare me." A seven or eight-year-old boy was kneeling beside him, wiping his tears with his hands, his eyes were red, and he looked very sad.

"Oh my god, I'm eating people to death."

"The father and son are so pitiful. I know them. The man on the ground is called Li Dazhuang. The father and son depend on each other for life. They have been saving money and are never willing to eat. I also heard that the imperial city roast duck is very delicious. It just so happens that today is the child's birthday. Father specially brought him here for a meal of meat. I didn’t expect it to be like this.”

"Hey, I'm afraid there is something unclean, which happened to be eaten by them."

"Exactly? Something unclean?"

"Hurry up and report to the police, people are killed."

A group of people chattered and made a mess.

"Don't cry, child, come here." Zeng Xiaoxiao looked at the child who was out of breath at this time, feeling very distressed.

"Mr. Ji, please take good care of this child. If his father dies, we will take care of this child from now on." Zeng Xiaoxiao felt that the child was very pitiful and sympathized.

"I don't want it, I want my father." The child cried even louder when he heard that his father was going to die.

"Father, don't leave me behind." The child yelled as he cried, and his coarse clothes were already wet with tears.

Zeng Xiaoxiao didn't have time to explain so much to the child, this was obviously an epileptic seizure.She asked the clerk in the shop to disperse the crowd.Turn the man curled up on the ground to one side, adjust the man's head so that he looks up, and start the rescue.

The modern Zeng Xiaoxiao has a friend who has epilepsy by his side. He was shocked when he saw this situation for the first time, but he gradually got used to it.In order to take better care of her friends, she herself learned how to rescue epileptic seizures.

After about a few minutes, the man no longer twitched, Zeng Xiaoxiao probed the man's breath with his hand, and let out a long sigh of relief.

However, commotion broke out in the crowd again. Everyone looked at the immobile man, thinking that he had already gone west.

At this time, the voices of officers and soldiers came from outside the door, looking at the fallen man, Zeng Xiaoxiao couldn't help explaining, and the officers and soldiers arrested Zeng Xiaoxiao.

Learning from the last Chu Jianguo incident, the two prison guards who committed the crime were not only punished, but also dismissed.Today's prison guards are all smarter. Although they don't know Zeng Xiaoxiao, their attitudes are more polite and their actions are not very rough.

Seeing her young lady being arrested, Qiu'er was very worried, and hurried back to Prince Zhong's Mansion to ask Zeng Kaizhi for help.

After learning the ins and outs of the incident, Zeng Kaizhi worried that Zeng Xiaoxiao was afraid, so he went to visit Zeng Xiaoxiao in the cell.

Because he was worried that his daughter would not eat well at night, Zeng Kaizhi specially asked the kitchen to cook two dishes and bring them with him.

in prison.

"Father, I'm in jail, can't you cook two meat dishes for me?" Zeng Xiaoxiao opened the food box, and while eating, he still looked at his father helplessly.

"Isn't this all meat?" Zeng Kaizhi pointed at the minced meat stars inside, and laughed.

"Come on, eat more, don't lose weight from hunger." Zeng Kaizhi put all his strength into Zeng Xiaoxiao's bowl, wishing she could finish it all in one sitting.

Zeng Kaizhi's two dishes, one is eggplant with minced meat, and the other is tofu with minced meat. Zeng Kaizhi is reluctant to eat these two dishes on weekdays, after all, these two dishes are stained with meat.

Because when he came, Zeng Kaizhi was afraid that his daughter would be tortured in the cell, so he deliberately informed the prison chief of his identity.

"Lord Zhong, our prison food is better than yours." The prison chief came up and said jokingly.

"Don't brag." Zeng Kaizhi didn't believe that the food in the cell could be as good as this.

"Don't believe me."

"You guys, serve the food." The prison chief clapped his hands, motioning the jailer to bring the food.

As soon as the words were finished, a jailer came up with two dishes, one soup, and a bowl of rice.

"Braised pork in brown sauce, steamed crucian carp, pumpkin soup, and fragrant rice." The cell boss introduced happily, showing off.

"Our Yunqi country has good policies, and the relatives of meritorious ministers are treated like this when they are imprisoned." The prison chief rubbed his hands, and looked down on Zeng Kaizhi's food even more.

"You should be very clear about this. You are the first rank in the dynasty, the king of loyalty and righteousness personally appointed by the emperor." The prison chief clasped his fists towards the northeast, talking more and more vigorously.

Zeng Kaizhi coughed and tried to interrupt him.

The cell boss couldn't understand Zeng Kaizhi's meaning, so he started to introduce the history of Yunqi Kingdom in an eloquent manner.

"Father, I'm full." Zeng Xiaoxiao rubbed her belly, she really didn't have the pleasure of enjoying the rich prison meal in front of her.

"It's good to be full. Then this prison meal can't be wasted. Daddy can take it home and enjoy it with your mother." Zeng Kai, with a look of regret, has already started to put the prison meal into his own food box. inside.

"... "

"Father, you tricked me." After being speechless for a while, Zeng Xiaoxiao could only silently watch his father take these away.Now she seriously suspects that her father is here to pay for his life in prison.

"Hahaha." Zeng Kaizhi stroked his beard and laughed.

"Father, that person is not dead. They arrested me without listening to my explanation." Zeng Xiaoxiao looked at her father in a happy mood, and remembered what she had been wronged during the day, with a depressed expression on her face.

"Father knows, it is impossible for my daughter to poison others." Zeng Kaizhi straightened Zeng Xiaoxiao's broken hair and said distressedly.

"He had an epileptic attack, and he didn't die, and he couldn't die. I treated him briefly during the attack, and he couldn't suffocate. And when I was taken away, he was already breathing smoothly." Zeng Xiaoxiao recalled.

"Don't worry, father will help you to clear your grievance." Zeng Kaizhi raised his hand, his eyes were firm.

"Father, we must find that person." Zeng Xiaoxiao said after thinking for a while.

"Only by proving that the person is not dead can I prove that I did not poison him." Zeng Xiaoxiao continued.

"If someone else did it intentionally, I'm afraid that person has been silenced." Zeng Kaizhi said thoughtfully.

"It's okay, dad has a solution, as long as dad is around, you will be safe and sound." Zeng Kaizhi loves this daughter the most, and he will do his best for her even if he does his best.

"Father." Zeng Xiaoxiao's eyes were moist and she couldn't control it anymore.

"It's all my daughter's fault. I'm running around without telling you and causing trouble for you." Zeng Xiaoxiao now regrets that she didn't keep things secret.

"I don't know if you run a roast duck restaurant?" Zeng Kaizhi scratched Zeng Xiao's nose and said with a smile.

At this moment, Zeng Xiaoxiao was very surprised. Didn't officials and eunuchs not be allowed to do business?My father knew and didn't stop him?
But think about it, it is impossible for my father to know nothing about the movement of his own shop.

"There must be someone who breaks this rule." Zeng Kaizhi's meaningful words aroused Zeng Xiaoxiao's curiosity.

He continued to ask for warmth for a while, the sky was getting late, it was almost time for dinner at Prince Zhong's Mansion, Zeng Kaizhi was about to leave.

"Father is gone, I'll bring you lunch tomorrow." Zeng Kaizhi stood up and picked up the freshly packed lunch box.

"Take good care of my daughter! If you lose a single hair, I will kill you!" Zeng Kaizhi looked like a kind father in the first second, and he was like a king of hell in the next second.

Zeng Xiaoxiao sighed, her father was really mighty and domineering when he warned people.

Seeing his good prison life being taken away by his father, Zeng Xiaoxiao felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Zeng Kaizhi who returned to the mansion did not bring out the food for everyone to eat, but threw the food into the bushes aside.

"See? My daughter is blocking the way of others." Zeng Kaizhi pulled off the silver hairpin from Xu Fengning's head, inserted it into the dish, looked at the blackened silver hairpin and said coldly.
