"Don't you know what you did yourself?"

The leading official didn't care that Mu Daiyao had so many people, he just waved his hand and wanted to ask the other yamen servants to continue searching the shop.

However, Mu Daiyao didn't show the slightest panic on her face. She stood there and looked up at the official, and said very calmly: "I really don't know, and I hope that you can do it in front of our big guy." To be clear, I am still a commoner after all, and I will point to this restaurant to support a large family in the future, if you take me away for no reason, I am afraid that no one will dare to come to my restaurant in the future."

Although Xia Guo on the side was also scared, she still mustered up her courage and said loudly to the officials, "That's right, what crime did our shopkeeper commit? You can't just arrest people without proof, the officials Can you bully us ordinary people like this?!"

Even Qiu Shi followed suit, his voice was a little deep, but he could hear the anxiety inside: "Master Guan, our restaurant has not done anything illegal, and our shopkeeper is also a good person. There must be some misunderstanding!"

"Okay, you really don't cry when you see the coffin. Some people say that the dishes in your restaurant use poisonous mushrooms. We need to search to see if this is true. If we find out, your restaurant should be closed !"

Maybe it's because they see that Mu Daiyao is not a soft persimmon, so they can pinch it casually, or maybe it's because there are too many people around the restaurant, if they don't tell the reason, it's inevitable that someone will come to make trouble, so the leading official can only reluctantly answer After listening to Mu Daiyao's words.

He originally thought that after he said that, Mu Daiyao would be so frightened that he would beg for mercy, but he didn't expect that the other party would just raise his eyes and look at him, then quickly move away, and even raised his voice, facing the restaurant outside. The surrounding townspeople shouted: "Big fellow, the official is coming to check the food in the restaurant, and he will give everyone an explanation soon. If something dirty is really found, then I will Mu Daiyao will definitely be responsible to the end!"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of those yamen servants changed obviously.

This is clearly to show the townspeople whether there is any problem with the dishes in their restaurants through their search of restaurants.

Although the leading official knew that Mu Daiyao was playing tricks in his heart, but Master Lou also said that there must be something wrong with this restaurant, let them search carefully, and naturally he, a subordinate, did not dare to inquire too much.

Just seeing Mu Daiyao's calm expression, he couldn't help muttering in his heart, could it be just an oolong incident?

After a while, the servants who were sent to search the back kitchen came back again.
In the end, nothing was found, and the yamen servants could only prepare to leave in front of everyone.

At this moment, Ji Zhixu also went downstairs, and his voice came out in a calm manner.

"Since we can't find any problems with our restaurant, it should mean that we are good citizens, right? As good citizens, do we have the right to sue others?"

"Who are you going to sue?"

The leading official asked back with some displeasure.

"We have evidence to sue the restaurant opposite - Ling Hongju, that poisonous mushrooms are used in their dishes."

"Do you have any evidence?"

Before Ji Zhixu could speak, the next second, several old acquaintances walked into the restaurant.

Among them, the young master Pianpian who walked in the front was Zhang Junshi.

"We have evidence."

The people in the yamen naturally recognized this newly promoted Juren. Although the other party only had the title of Juren now, it was uncertain whether he would become a high-ranking official in charge of one party in the future, so no one dared to underestimate him.

"Zhang Juren."

Those yamen servants all retreated respectfully, leaving only the leading official to greet Zhang Junshi enthusiastically, and said with a smile, "Why are you here?"

"The shopkeeper of this restaurant is my good friend. Naturally, I can't sit idly by when my friend is in trouble." Zhang Junshi didn't mean to be polite, and said directly: "I think the county magistrate should be free today? I have some on hand." Evidence, I can also be used as a witness."

"This······"

As if seeing the embarrassment on the official's face, Mu Daiyao also walked to Ji Zhixu's side at this time, smiled slightly, and asked back: "Could it be that the official just ordered my restaurant to be searched, and for other restaurants, no matter what They are unwilling to search if they have any questions? Then how can we believe that the county magistrate can still protect the personal safety of us townspeople?"

As soon as the words fell, Qin, who was following Zhang Junshi, immediately raised her voice, and complained loudly: "I ate their Ling Hongju dishes, and my stomach hurt for three days and three nights. I want to sue them for using Dirty stuff!"

"Oh, it's too bad. I also bought their dishes and went back to feed my children. Could my children have been poisoned too! Lord, you have to make decisions for us!"

Ling Qiaoer, who was standing by the door of the restaurant, rolled her eyes and began to wipe her tears with a handkerchief in her hand, looking pitiful.

Seeing this, the diners outside the restaurant who were just watching the excitement also felt that there was some reason. They had heard of some restaurants that used poisonous mushrooms for cooking. Could it be that Ling Hongju is one of them?

Thinking of this, diners who were kicked out of Linghongju began to wave and shout angrily in the crowd.

"Search! You must search! Why can they escape from Ling Hongju!"

"That's right! Search, search to see if it's a rumor!"

"Search! Search! Search!"

One person yelled, and soon a large group of people were protesting with their fists raised. For a moment, no yamen servant dared to step forward to stop these townspeople.

In addition, there were a few yamen servants who had eaten in Linghongju, and they also murmured in their hearts, wanting to search to see if there was anything wrong with Linghongju's back kitchen.

"Hey, Zhang Juren, Master Lou and the county magistrate didn't say that they can search Ling Hongju. If we search rashly, won't it be difficult to explain to our superiors?"

Seeing that the scene was getting out of control, the leading official also began to hesitate. He carefully glanced at Zhang Junshi who had a frosty face, and asked in a low voice.

"In the future, I will personally apologize to the magistrate, but if any problems are found, it will be your credit, the magistrate, and I will ask the magistrate to give you credit."

Perhaps because of being with Ji Zhixu and Mu Daiyao for a long time, Zhang Junshi's temper became a little more active, and he reassured the official and made a promise.

"Okay, then listen to Zhang Juren, let's go, let's go to Linghong Residence to search!"
