When Hunjun begins to make elixirs

Chapter 9 Jun Lai Inn
Dishes were served one after another. Compared to the palace kitchen, there were not many dishes, but the food was hot.The dishes served in the palace come one after another. By the time the food is half cold on the table, half of the delicious food is gone.

The shopkeeper served in person, serving one dish and introducing the other, such as fried shrimps, fried tripe, braised pork slices... Zhao Zhongxiao tested each dish one by one with a silver needle, and it was safe to eat.Li Shun is not afraid of poison, even if he drinks arsenic as sugar water, it will be fine.However, since his trump card couldn't be exposed, he didn't stop him and let him operate.

"Sir, what would you like to drink? The soju in this shop is famous far and wide."

"Just watch it come"

"Okay, sir, please use it slowly."

Li Shun nodded and was about to use his chopsticks when he heard a noise coming from downstairs.

"Liu Gen!"

Gong San, the housekeeper of the palace, and several servants walked into the inn angrily and slapped the counter hard: "Liu Gen, come out!"

The shopkeeper Liu Gen quickly went downstairs and saw Gong San. He quickly nodded and bowed: "Third Butler, what brought you here?"

Gong San pointed at Liu Gen's nose and cursed: "Young lady! I'm having a treat at home at noon. I came to you and ordered a few dishes, but why didn't they arrive! You made me embarrassed in front of my friends!"

"This..." Liu Gen explained: "A Ming went to deliver it at noon."

When Gong San saw that he refused to acknowledge and lied, he became even more angry and slapped Liu Gen on the face: "Send it to your mother! You guys don't want to do business anymore. Even your third master dared to lie. You are not in Longdu either." If the government asks around, if you offend our Gong family, some of them will end up well! Someone came and smashed his shop!"

Liu Gen quickly begged for mercy: "Third housekeeper, calm down, calm down. It was indeed delivered at noon. It must be that boy A Ming who made a mistake. Look, he hasn't come back yet! I'll refund you three times the deposit. I'm sorry. Forgive me."

Gong San pushed Liu Gen upside down: "Third Master, do you need that little money? Today, I am going to set rules for you unruly people! Smash it!"

For a moment, the sound of banging and banging spread throughout the inn.Li Shun relied on his enhanced hearing to know everything that happened downstairs. The inn was at fault, but the housekeeper's bullying was too much.Besides, I live here and don’t want anything to happen.

"Send someone to take a look."

Zhao Zhongxiao came to the window and made a gesture, and several figures appeared from the streets and alleys.

Downstairs, Liu Gen was unable to stop the inn from being smashed, so he could only sit on the ground and wailed.

"Yo, what happened here?"

Yuelang Guan Xin Shu, the third team of the Shenji Guard search team who had stayed in Longdu Mansion for a long time, entered with a knife in hand, instantly attracting the attention of everyone present.He looked around at everyone. Everyone he looked at looked sideways and lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at them: "Gong San? Are you causing trouble?"

When Gong San saw Xin Shu calling his name, his heart trembled, and he stepped forward to answer, explaining the whole story one by one: "Master Xin, if you don't teach this black shop a lesson, you may not know how many people will be harmed in the future! "

Xin Shu snorted coldly: "I don't care about your business, but I want to eat here today. Don't cause trouble, go back and forth wherever you come from."

Gong San's expression darkened. Is Xin Shu trying to support Liu Gen?If he just left like this, where would the Gong family's face go?How are you going to hang out on the street in the future?The Gong family belongs to Prime Minister Hu!
"Yes, Mr. Xin wants to have a meal, so I don't dare to disturb you. Liu Gen, if I spare you today, you can take out 100 taels of silver as compensation!"

Liu Gen looked at the smashed counter tables and chairs and felt like crying.The deposit for the meal was only one tael of silver, and the compensation was doubled a hundred times. This was obviously extortion.However, the Gong family really couldn't afford to offend them, so they had no choice but to admit defeat.

"Third Butler, the shop doesn't have that much cash." Liu Gen took the 50 taels he had just collected and took out about 20 taels of live money from the counter: "There are only 70 taels here. You are so generous and let the villain go. .”

Gong San took the money greedily and bumped it in his hand: "As you know, you can send the rest to Gong's house tomorrow. If you dare to cheat and default on your money, I will burn down your inn." After that, he left. "Wait!"

Xin Shu called out to Gong San and others with a gloomy face: "Gong San, you were beaten and the store was destroyed. It's a bit unreasonable to ask for compensation, isn't it?" Doing this in front of him made it clear that you were giving it to him. Embarrassing.Now the emperor and Eunuch Zhao are listening above. If they don't handle it well, they will lose more than just their own face.

Gong San stopped and put on a fake smile: "Master Xin, this is Liu Gen's choice. If you don't believe me, ask him."

Liu Gen followed the principle that doing more is worse than doing less. He bowed and apologized to Xin Shu: "It is a blessing for the shop that adults can come to eat in the shop. What happened today is my fault. I bothered the adults to take care of the little ones. Let's forget about it." "

Xin Shu glared at Liu Gen angrily, "I helped you stand up, but you shrank."If this matter is forgotten, my role as governor will be over.He pushed away Liu Gen, a weakling, and walked towards Gong San: "You openly blackmailed me in front of me, and you are lawless. Do you still want to walk away?"

When Gong San saw that he had turned against him, he knew something was wrong and threatened: "Others are afraid of you Shenji Guards, but I am not afraid. I am a member of the Gong family, and the one above the Gong family is the Prime Minister. Do you dare to attack me?"

"The Divine Machine Guard patrols the sky on behalf of the hunter. He has the power to arrest criminals and rectify the people's customs. Not to mention you, even if the palace general comes in person, he has to give an account! Besides, you are just a housekeeper of the palace family. You are a dog-like thing, but you dare to bring it to the prime minister. Pressure me. Today, I want to take you to see what the Gong family can do!"

"Come on!"

Xin Shu gave an order, and six divine machine guards rushed in from the door, knocking Gong San and others to the ground with three strikes.Xin Shu took back the silver coins, threw them to Liu Gen, and told Shen Jiwei: "Take these people back and lock them up first. No one can be released without my order!"

"Yes!"

The store returned to calm, and everyone present was taken by the lingering power of Xin Shu. Those who were eating did not dare to move their chopsticks, and those who were working did not dare to move their steps.Xin Shu walked up the stairs: "Arrange a private room, I want to eat."

Liu Gen had a grimace on his face and asked cautiously: "Sir, what do you want to eat?"

Xin Shu glanced at him: "You come here, but don't be in a hurry to serve the food. Wait for me to summon you." Since he came in under the pretext of eating, he naturally couldn't leave after finishing the matter. This would be too conspicuous.

Liu Gen nodded like a fool: "Yes, I will let the adults arrange it now."

Xin Shu headed upstairs. Before Liu Gen could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard footsteps outside the door.An old man in rich clothes and a middle-aged scholar entered.

"I'm sorry, you two guests. Something happened in the store and we won't be accepting customers for the time being."

The middle-aged scholar did not leave, and only said: "Staff, I am not here to eat or stay, I am just looking for someone. I wonder if there is an old man and a young man living here? That young man is dressed in white and has an extraordinary bearing."

Liu Gen asked doubtfully: "Are you two friends of that young master?"

"Yes."

Liu Gen saw that they were looking for the young man who spent a lot of money, so he didn't dare to offend him: "Wait a moment, I'll go ask for you."

Liu Gen went upstairs and knocked on Li Shun's door: "Sir, there are two guests below who say they are your friends."

Li Shun wiped his mouth: "That's right, ask them to come up."
