Chapter 86 Flower Festival
Mr. Wang knew that he couldn't find anything, so he choked his throat and said, "It seems that the person who reported it was also misunderstood. There is nothing prohibited in the Song Family Restaurant. I will go back and invite the person who reported it, and ask again carefully. Just ask him!"

While speaking, his gaze was evasive but he didn't look at Xiao Ning. After speaking, he lowered his head and led a group of soldiers who were also somewhat frustrated, and walked away in despair.

"I've disturbed everyone's interest in eating, I'll treat you to this meal." Seeing the sad faces of those guests, Xiao Ning made them feel like a spring breeze in an instant with a single sentence.

"Miss, it's exactly as you expected." Song Ading came down from the stairs and lowered his voice, "Just now there was a person with a frank face, and he didn't show much panic when he heard that he was about to be arrested by the government office. Although he was The others followed to lie for the eldest lady, but my old Song knew he was pretending at a glance!"

"Don't startle the snake, this time he failed, there must be another time?" Xiao Ning sneered softly, the person who bought him would never let it go like this.

Song Ading was startled, and said in a deep voice, "Miss doesn't want to know who that person is?"

He glanced at the dozen or so people who were walking upstairs, each of them still looked frightened, and their steps trembled slightly.

"What's the rush, anyway, tomorrow, he's going to fall into the trap." Xiao Ning didn't look up, just handed over the ledger to Lao Song, asking him to put it somewhere else.

Just now she showed the ledger in front of everyone, and many people saw the location of the ledger.

There may not be only one ghost in this building, and the person who bribed them may not be the same person.

This time the black hand behind the scenes can use reporting and planting to make calculations, and next time it is very likely that the inner ghost will tamper with the ledger.

Although it was not easy, as long as it was done, Xiao Ning would not be able to speak clearly even if he had ten mouths.

Lao Song carried the account book in his pocket and didn't say much.Since the eldest lady can let him observe that person's movements in secret, she must know who that person is.

The business of Songjia Restaurant is going on as usual, but the sales volume of ice cream has been reduced by half.

Xiao Ning's eyes were heavy, he didn't expect that the unsubstantiated rumors would also have a considerable impact on the business.

If the malicious reporter is not caught soon, the ice cream will be sold less and less.If there is a problem with one dish, the rest of the people will be suspicious of other dishes, and the reputation of the Song Family Restaurant will be damaged in a subtle way.

Three people become tigers, and many lies become the truth when they are told by many people.

Needless to say, the murderer behind the scenes was Xiao Qi and Xiao Wanying, maybe both of them were involved.They blatantly slandered her for using poppies at the flower festival, and soon the Tianshifu came to investigate. It's no wonder that the two of them have nothing to do with each other.

Xiao Ning walked to the window sill and stared at something with deep eyes.

At three o'clock, the night was quiet.

The Song Family Restaurant cast a long oblique shadow under the moonlight.

A figure was moving slowly, tiptoeing, with steps lighter than a cat's, as if afraid of disturbing the ghosts that wandered in the night.

pat.

With a soft sound, the figure rolled over from the window sill of the restaurant and landed firmly on the bluestone bricks.

Suddenly, the flames were brightly lit, illuminating the restaurant clearly.

His icy hawk-like eyes stared at the frightened man who was huddled in front of the window sill.

"It didn't come out until the third watch, I really underestimated you." Si Ruiyan's eyes were faintly visible in the firelight, glinting secretly.

The man froze in place, unable to move like a mouse seeing a cat.

"Fourth Prince, just now we followed him and went back to the house with him. The 1000 taels of silver was hidden under his stove, and the brothers have already dug it out!" Black ash, it looks like the stove was really dug.

"1000 taels?" Si Ruiyan murmured coldly, with a flash of coldness in his eyes, "I didn't expect that person to be so generous."

"Take him down!" The person who came to reciprocate shouted, and his subordinates rushed out behind him, catching the person from left to right like catching a mouse.

"Fourth Prince, spare your life! I was forced! I am loyal to the shopkeeper!" The man suddenly came to his senses, and he was pressed to the ground and begged for mercy.

Si Ruiyan lowered his eyes coldly, his knife-sharpened face revealed an elegant sternness.

"Anyway, it's from the Song family restaurant, let her deal with it." He directed his subordinates, turned and left.

The crushed person has been tied into a rice dumpling and locked in the firewood room until dawn.

Xiao Ning heard that he caught a mouse last night, so he got up early and rushed to the restaurant.

"It really is you." She looked at the disheartened cook and smiled coldly.

The cook's face was wrinkled into a kneaded mop, and tears seemed to be coming out.

"You have only been in the Song Family Restaurant for only a month, and you are the only rookie who can help outsiders frame the restaurant for a mere 1000 taels of silver." Xiao Ning saw his life among the group of people. Face, she was already suspicious at that time.

The ice cream business is more prosperous than she imagined, and the cook has to make main dishes and snacks, and also helps to make ice cream.The manpower was too busy, so she had no choice but to recruit a few other cooks who knew how to make sweets.

When Lao Song recruits people, he will investigate the character and background of the other party, and only after confirming that there are no crimes or other taints will he enter the restaurant.Thinking about it, this person didn't have any wrong thoughts when he entered the restaurant, he just lost his conscience in front of the large sum of money.

"Untie him and send him to the attic." Xiao Ning took it easy, whispered slowly, then turned and went up to the attic.

The restaurants are open and open as usual, and everything seems to be in order.

"Shopkeeper, please forgive me this time, I was just confused!" The cook cried bitterly, knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

As the saying goes, a man has gold under his knees, and he kneels down to his parents.This cook, who was in his thirties, knelt down in front of a young girl, which was throwing away all his dignity.

"It's okay to forgive you, but you have to tell the truth." Xiao Ning held a bowl of clear porridge and ate his breakfast leisurely. The aroma made people move their index fingers.

The kneeling cook couldn't help but also swallowed his saliva.

Xiao Ning deliberately made the porridge smell fragrant, and secretly looked up at the person in front of him.

When this person is starving and freezing, his willpower will be very weak.The cook in front of him has been locked up in the firewood room for a day, and he has already suffered from the cold.I haven't eaten all night, and I'm probably starving now.

With both approaches, it won't take long for an ordinary person like the cook to surrender.

"Who gave you the 1000 taels?" Xiao Ning cut to the chase.

The cook choked his throat, hesitated and lowered his head.

"It's okay if you don't say anything. I don't have the skills of the master Qingtian. I believe that if you are sent to the government office, the government servants will have a way to make you tell the truth." Xiao Ning said coldly, "Old Song, send people to the government office. go."

Old Song outside the door responded, and opened the door to come in to arrest someone.

"I say! I say!" After being touched by Lao Song's hand, the cook struggled desperately like a rabbit on fire, "It's Miss Xiao!"

"Which Miss Xiao?" Xiao Ning also knew it was them, but Xiao Qi was the eldest lady of the family, and Xiao Wanying was also the eldest lady of their family.

"Xiao Qi, Miss Xiao." The cook's voice became weaker and weaker, as if he had spoken out about the benefactor, and he was in despair.

Xiao Ning frowned, feeling that something was wrong.

According to Xiao Qi's temperament, it is absolutely impossible for her to give up 1000 taels of silver to buy a cook.And if she was going to do this, why would she make a big announcement on the Flower Festival that there were poppies in the ice cream at Song's Restaurant.

If she said that someone had framed her, then the suspicion would fall on Xiao Qi, and she would not be so stupid as to burn herself.
