Chapter 96: Help, thank you for your kindness

"Be careful."

Gu Huaijing looked back at Teng Xi. He shut up immediately and nodded heavily, "Yes, Master."

Here, as soon as the master and servant arrived on the street, they saw a group of people rushing into the restaurant.

The two of them looked at each other and then returned to the restaurant.

As soon as Gu Huaijing entered, he saw the strong man leading him pushing the waiter in the restaurant.

The sound of cursing echoed throughout the restaurant.

"Your restaurant kills people without hesitation, right? My wife ate the snacks from your restaurant and is still in the hospital. How do you plan to compensate her?"

"That's right, my sister-in-law's life or death is uncertain now, and you are a black-hearted restaurant."

A group of people said something to each other, all criticizing the restaurant for something wrong.

Although the shopkeeper has been doing business for many years, this was the first time he encountered this kind of thing. He didn't react for a while, but the servant stepped forward to block the outsiders.

"Sir, you said it was the dim sum from our restaurant. Which type of dim sum is it? Do you have any evidence? The dim sum in our restaurant are all freshly made that day, so it is impossible to have any problems eating it."

"I've also eaten a lot of dim sum in this restaurant, no problem. Brother, which one did you eat?"

"Which one? Does it have anything to do with you? I think you are the manager of this restaurant."

"You, how can you be so cruel?"

The diners blushed at what the brawny man said, and immediately threw up their sleeves to pay the bill and left in anger. All the diners chose to leave because of the brawny man's shouting.

Gu Huaijing winked at Teng Xi when he saw this scene, and he blocked the diners who wanted to leave at the door.

"Everyone, the Admiral is here. If anything happens, please bear witness."

"Canal Admiral Mr. Gu?"

"Exactly."

As soon as the diners heard that Gu Huaijing was there, they stopped leaving.

When the strong man heard that Gu Huaijing was there, he panicked visibly. When he looked at Teng Xi, his eyes blinked, "You, your Yunhe Yamen is also in charge of the county government's affairs now?"

"As an official of the imperial court, I naturally have to share the worries of the people. Since your wife is unconscious in the hospital because of eating something here, we naturally have to take care of it."

Teng Xi opened his mouth, and Gu Huaijing stepped forward with his hands behind his hands, "Tell me, what kind of snacks did you eat, when did you buy it, when did you get the symptoms, what are the symptoms now, and which medical center are you at?"

Gu Huaijing's tone was indifferent, but his expressionless face gave people the feeling that strangers should not approach him.

The strong man was frightened and cleared his throat, "I, I, I will send someone to ask the doctor."

"No, my man is outside. He can go. Just say it and I will make the decision for you."

Gu Huaijing took a step forward and came directly to the strong man.

This time, the strong man could only face Gu Huaijing directly. He instantly lost the confidence he had before, and the panic on his face made people think that what he just said was false.

"How to frame him?"

"No, no, Mr. Gu, it's not a false accusation, it's true."

"Well, find your wife and the doctor, and I will cut it off for you."

Gu Huaijing took the opportunity to sit at the table, as if he would not leave until his wife came.

At this moment, the other people around the strong man looked around and saw that the situation was going well. They wanted to go out, but Tengxi blocked their way.

The actions of several people instantly attracted the attention of others.

"Are you trying to run away?"

"It seems there's something fishy about this."

"I, we don't know anything."

Except for the strong man, everyone else defected one after another. The words of these people instantly revealed the strong man's slander of the restaurant.

The strong man instantly fell to the ground, "You, you are all paid."

"So what, we don't know that you are pretending. You swore before that your wife had the accident because she ate snacks from the restaurant, but now it seems that you are lying." "Even, we are not fools, Your expression right now looks like you’re lying.”

The strong man was speechless and was stunned for a while before he looked at Gu Huaijing and said, "Master Gu, you are just a little obsessed."

"is fake?"

"is fake."

Everyone gasped, all talking about the strong man.

The strong man knelt on the ground and begged, but Gu Huaijing remained calm. As soon as he waved, the county government servant came in.

Several people surrounded the strong man, pressed him half-kneeling on the ground and shouted loudly: "It is a serious crime to make false accusations in public..."

"Sir, please forgive me. I know I was wrong."

"You have to know that false accusation is a serious crime."

When the officer said this, the strong man sat directly on the ground, as if his whole body had no bones, "Spare your life."

He kept saying to spare his life, but the government officials had already taken him away.

After the strong man left, the rest of the people who followed him were not spared. Gu Huaijing said generously, "You are all being used by others. I will not hold you accountable, but you need to apologize for slandering Houfu Restaurant so much." of."

"Yes, yes, we will apologize to the Hou Mansion, and we will never be deceived again in the future."

Several people knelt on the ground very devoutly.

Gu Huaijing ignored it and just looked at the shopkeeper, "Please find your master."

"Yes, Mr. Gu, Xiaosi has already gone to invite the second lady. I want to come..."

"what happened?"

Before the shopkeeper could finish his words, Tan Zhixu's anxious voice came.

She appeared in front of everyone with her skirt in hand, and maybe she ran a few steps anxiously. Now there were some beads of sweat on her delicate little face, and her delicate look reminded Gu Huaijing of them all those years ago.

"Master Gu?"

Gu Huaijing's eyes were so hot that Tan Zhixu had no choice but to call him.

"Second Madam, what happened today is a frame-up, and they need to apologize to your prince's mansion."

On the way, Xiaosi had already told him about the trouble, but he didn't say that Gu Huaijing was there, so now Tan Zhixu was quite surprised to see that he had solved the problem.

"Thank you, Mr. Gu, for making the decision for the civilian woman."

After Tan Zhixu finished speaking, those people apologized one after another, and the farce was quickly resolved when Gu Huaijing came forward.

The restaurant resumed normal business, Tan Zhixu and Gu Huai Jing were in good health, "Thank you, Mr. Gu."

"Just lip service?"

"Ok?"

Tan Zhixu thought that Gu Huaijing would nod and leave as before, but he didn't expect that he would have something to say.

Their eyes met and Gu Huaijing smiled.

Tan Zhixu's eyes instantly showed disbelief. This smile must have been the first time she saw her after marrying into the Hou family.

What happened to Gu Huaijing?
Why did he suddenly smile to himself?

Realizing something was wrong, Tan Zhixu smiled awkwardly, "What do you want, Master Gu?"

"Now I have done you a great favor, and you must thank me for your kindness."

"Yes, what Master Gu said is that the peasant woman told the restaurant owner that it will be free for you to come in the future."

"You became an official just to eat at your restaurant for free?"

Gu Huaijing frowned, thinking he was angry. Tan Zhixu waved his hands repeatedly, "Of course that's not what I meant, so please tell me straight."
