Chapter 1566

"My lord, something happened at the 'Wanhua Building'!"

Qi Lingxiao was already quite depressed that the yard of the 'Shen's' was not sold, but he didn't want to make things worse, and something happened again.

"Just now, all the guests in the 'Wanhualou' experienced symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea, and some even passed out on the spot!"

"Is there such a thing?"

'Wanhualou', the best 'brothel' in 'Lingxiao City', is well-known far and wide. Most of the people who go there every day to have fun are high-ranking officials and rich children. These people have a lot of 'unknown' things with Qi Lingxiao. relation.

So upon hearing that something happened to the guests of the 'Wanhualou', Qi Lingxiao rushed to the 'Wanhualou' in person, and what appeared in front of Qi Lingxiao's eyes was 'sadness everywhere', and all the guests either fell to the ground or lay on the table, their faces turning blue The lips turned white, and the ground was covered with vomit. The scene was definitely quite spectacular.

"Boss, what's going on?"

The bustard, that is, the boss of 'Wanhualou' was immediately called to Qi Lingxiao.

"I don't know, my lord, it was fine just now, but suddenly it became like this!" The old bustard was at a loss.

"It must be that the things in 'Wanhualou' are not clean!" a guest said bitterly.

"The food given to us by 'Wanhualou' is poisonous!"

"Yes, absolutely poisonous!"

General fatigue, followed by vomiting and diarrhea, are indeed symptoms of poisoning.

"Our 'Wanhualou' items are all purchased from regular channels. The guests eat these items every day. How could they be poisonous? Besides, our own people also eat them. If they were poisonous, wouldn't our own people follow suit?" Poisoned?" the bustard said.

"That means someone intentionally poisoned the food we ate. My lord, please investigate thoroughly and give us justice!"

"Lord Lord..."

"Lord Lord..."

It was impossible for Qi Lingxiao to just sit idly by the so-called 'Lord Lord', so he ordered people to conduct a thorough investigation inside and outside the 'Wanhua Building' on the spot.

Soon, Qi Lingxiao's subordinates made an unexpected discovery.

"My lord, I found this in the kitchen of 'Wanhualou'..." The subordinates handed Qi Lingxiao something containing a milky white thick liquid.

As soon as Qi Lingxiao took over, he smelled a fishy smell, which was unimaginable.

"What is this?" Qi Lingxiao asked.

"I do not know!"

"Call the chef!"

The chef came, picked up the things to look at, and shook his head in confusion.

"It seems that this thing poisoned the guests!" Qi Lingxiao said coldly.

"My lord, this thing does not belong to us, it is clear that someone framed us!" the old bustard said excitedly.

"Then why is this thing in your kitchen? As far as I know, outsiders of your 'Wanhualou' kitchen are not allowed to enter, right? So this thing was brought in by your 'Wanhualou' people!"

The chef and the helpers in the kitchen were all called out, but no one admitted after asking for a long time, so Qi Lingxiao made a decision.

"In view of the seriousness of the situation, the lord has decided to temporarily close down the 'Wanhua Building'. After investigating the cause of everyone's poisoning, we will decide whether to reopen the business according to the situation!"

If it was only a few ordinary people who were poisoned, Qi Lingxiao would definitely not be so serious about it, but it was dozens of high-ranking officials who were poisoned, and Qi Lingxiao usually takes their benefits. If he really doesn't do something at this time, then these benefits Who should I go to?

"My lord..." The bustard felt unwilling, because the 'Wanhualou' was closed down, and she lost her job.

"Do you have any objection to the lord's decision?"

"Don't dare!" The old bustard swallowed the words abruptly.

"Close the store immediately, without the permission of the lord, the people of 'Wanhualou' are not allowed to leave 'Lingxiao City'!"

"Yes!"

In this way, "Wanhualou" was sealed off, which was the first time in the history of "Wanhualou", and the most sad person is the boss of "Wanhualou".

This happened just a few days after the 'Oiran Conference', and if there is no way to solve it, the 'Wanhualou' will really be over. Question, the person I was looking for was someone close to Qi Lingxiao.

"The poisoning thing is really because someone is framing me, help me say a few more good words in front of the lord!" the old bustard said.

"It's not that I don't want to help you, but that the situation is really serious this time. Those bosses and young masters are putting pressure on the lord, and the lord attaches great importance to it. I'm just a guard. I'm afraid there's nothing I can do to help!"

"Help me, madam, I live by the 'Wanhualou', if the 'Wanhualou' is really closed, how will I live in the future?"

"This……"

"Please!" said the old bustard and stuffed a stack of banknotes into the opponent's hand.

"You can't, you can't!" You said that, but what does your action of pulling your pocket mean?
"Please, help me speak nice words in front of the lord!" The old bustard looked sincere.

"Okay, I'll give it a try, and I'll let you know if I have any news!"

"Thank you, Master Lin!"

"My own, you're welcome, then I'll go first, it's not good to be seen by the people of the 'lord's mansion'!"

After Lin Xuan finished speaking, he left. The bustard breathed a sigh of relief. It was impossible to buy Qi Lingxiao directly. Firstly, Qi Lingxiao had too much appetite and the bustard could not feed him enough. Not ordinary people, they must have put a lot of pressure on Qi Lingxiao, so after thinking about it, the bustard still thinks it is easier to start with people around Qi Lingxiao.

Looking at the "Wanhua Building" with its gates closed, recalling the scene of the "Wanhua Building" in full swing in the past, the old bustard could only sigh helplessly, praying that this innocent disaster would pass as soon as possible.

However, things were not as smooth as she thought. A few hours later, when night fell, Qi Lingxiao's bodyguard Lin Xuan came to the 'Wanhualou' and found the old bustard.

"What? Your lord really said that?"

"Yes, I heard the lord tell those bosses and sons with my own ears, saying that not only should you be held accountable for the poisoning in your 'Wanhualou', but also that you should compensate them for their losses. I vaguely heard those people Tell the lord, everyone must pay at least 500 million gold coins!"

"Five... 500 million?" The madam broke out in a cold sweat. There were dozens of people who were poisoned this time. If it is true that each person compensates 500 million gold coins, then the money she has earned over the years is not enough to pay. Can't let her sell herself to make compensation?The problem is that she can't sell it for much money.

"How can I have so much money to pay them? Even if I invade the family and go bankrupt, it's not enough, Mr. Lin!"

"Yes, that's why I came here to tell you the first time. The lord will send someone over tomorrow. If you don't have the money to pay, they will confiscate your 'Wanhua Building' and you will go to jail!"

"I can't go to jail!" the old bustard said with a look of panic.

"Then you can only leave quickly while no one finds out!"

"Go? Where?"

"Get out of here, and leave overnight before the lord comes to arrest you!"

"But my 'Wanhua Building'..."

"You're about to be arrested, and 1 'Wanhualou' are useless. You won't be afraid of running out of firewood if you keep the green hills, old bustard, think about it yourself, I can only help you get here!"

After finishing speaking, Lin Xuan left, while the old bustard's face was ashen.

If you don’t leave now, you won’t be able to leave tomorrow. At that time, not only the “Wanhualou” will be gone, but also the money earned in these years will be gone. But if you leave now, the “Wanhualou” will be gone, but at least the money you earned If it can be kept, it depends on how the bustard chooses.

'Wanhualou', the bustard's painstaking efforts for many years, after a painful ideological struggle, she still made a decision, without telling anyone, taking advantage of the night, the bustard quietly left 'Wanhualou' with years of savings Lou', left 'Lingxiao City' and never came back.

Yes, she absconded with money!
