Chapter 56 Qin Wuyan’s invitation

Ever since the hotel opened to a full house, Feng Ji has been thorn in his side and regards Xu Yinian as his strongest opponent.

He dreamed of stepping on Fengxiju and making the restaurant the largest and most popular restaurant in Fengxi Town, but little did he know that people had never taken him seriously.

This is completely disgusting!
Feng Ji became angry, "Boss Xu means... I did this on purpose to frame you?"

Xu Yinian smiled faintly, "I didn't think about it before, but it's not impossible after what you said. After all, mahuang grass can be addictive."

The implication is that it is not impossible for shopkeeper Feng to secretly put some mahuang grass in order to retain customers.

How smart are these people in the hall, how can they not hear the hidden meaning behind his words?

Thinking of the two black-clothed men she met when she went to Jimin Pharmacy to grab medicine last time, and thinking of Shopkeeper Feng's warm but not eye-catching smile every time she went to order a meal, Qiao Muyao suddenly had a feeling of saying no. The taste comes out.

She took a step forward and said, "I would like to ask you, sir, to check these two hand-peeled bamboo shoots again and see if there is any difference."

"allow!"

As soon as the county magistrate finished speaking, a waiter trotted up to Feng Ji and said in a panic: "Sir, there was a theft in the accounting room, and dozens of taels of silver were lost!"

Feng Ji's eyes darkened, "When did it happen?"

Xiao Er wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, "You guys just found out, maybe someone fished in troubled waters when the accident happened just now."

"How many dozen taels did you lose?" Feng Ji asked sharply.

"According to...according to the accountant, it is about thirty or two."

Feng Ji immediately stepped forward and clasped his fists and said, "Sir, I have been operating the hotel for so long and have never had a theft case. Please send someone immediately to arrest the thief!"

"30 taels of silver is not a small amount. According to our Dacheng Law, any theft of more than 20 taels of silver can constitute the crime of beheading."

Master Li looked towards the county lieutenant next to him, "Take someone to check immediately!"

The county captain and his men were about to leave when the waiter glanced at Qiao Muchao and said timidly: "Except Mr. Accountant, the only one who has been to the Accountant today is Mrs. Qiao."

What the hell, are you trying to frame someone up?

Qiao Muyao almost spit out a mouthful of blood, "At that time, you said that shopkeeper Feng came to see me and asked me to wait in the accounting room."

Feng Ji smiled faintly, "Yes, I really wanted to ask you to reconcile the accounts during this period. Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the door, something happened to the diner."

The county magistrate immediately looked at Qiao Muchao, "So, this Mrs. Qiao is the most suspicious?"

Hearing these words, Qiao Muyao was in a bad mood, no matter how short of money she was, she would not do such stealthy things.

"If you are upright, you are not afraid of slanted shadows. If you think I am suspicious, you might as well try to search me."

As soon as Qiao Mu Yao finished speaking, the waiter said: "Actually... the young ones found a baggage in Madam Qiao's bamboo basket. When they opened it, they found that the missing money was still inside."

Qiao Muyao:......

Everyone was in disbelief when the accountant, who was full of people, came in with a bamboo basket and said, "Sir, I counted this money this morning. What's in Mrs. Qiao's basket is exactly what was missing from the account."

Okay, so they are trying to create another plan after their first plan failed?
Qiao Muyao was very puzzled. Not only had she not offended him, but she was always full of customers. Why did Feng Ji want to kill her?
Qiao Muyao couldn't help but chuckle, "Are you insulting my IQ or everyone else's IQ? Even if it's framed, you should at least do something decent.

Stealing your money, ordering food openly, and leaving the basket in the store for you to check?Do you think I'm stupid? "Xu Yinian couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "Shopkeeper Feng, your ability to frame someone up is really terrible. "

"Yes, even if I stole it, not to mention finding a place to hide it, I would at least have to take the basket away. Leave the basket in your store for safekeeping, not to mention 20 taels, even 200 taels is not impossible."

Qiao Muyao snorted coldly, "It's because I trusted you so much earlier!"

Feng Ji couldn't help but stare at the waiter and asked in a deep voice: "What's going on?"

"This this……"

The waiter didn't know how to answer, but he saw Qin Wuyan strolling in, "As for this basket, I just went to the guest house to join in the fun, but I saw a doll putting money into the basket."

"Little... little baby?" The waiter wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "Could it be the young master?"

Xu Yinian cupped his hands and clasped his fists. When County Magistrate Li saw him, he stood up and saluted, "Young Master Qin is a rare guest."

"Master Li, you're welcome." Qin Wuyan returned the salute and stood aside with a smile as before, "You continue the trial, I'm just curious and came here to listen."

Feng Ji hurriedly hugged the donkey down the slope and said, "It turns out that the dog is naughty and misunderstood Madam Qiao, so I won't bother the county captain to make a trip."

Master Li glared at him angrily, "Shopkeeper Feng must take care of his own people from now on."

"Your Excellency has taught you a lesson." Feng Ji apologized hastily.

After Wu Zuo tried it, he stared at the two bamboo shoots and said, "It's strange. Although some medicinal materials are similar, these two ingredients are completely different."

Qiao Muyao quickly walked over and asked, "Are you sure?"

Wu Zuo said affirmatively, and Qiao Muyao quickly took a portion and tasted it.

It didn't matter. Qiao Muchao became more and more convinced of her guess, so she stepped forward and said, "Sir, the hand-peeled bamboo shoots I brought from Kemanlou contained licorice, and I have never added licorice. I'm sure This hand-peeled bamboo shoot is not the one I sent over. I was followed last time in the pharmacy, and I knew someone was trying to find the recipe..."

Since the formula is different, it means that she did not make the hand-peeled bamboo shoots, and it has nothing to do with the person's stomachache.

After some debate, she and Xu Yinian were cleared of suspicion, and the county magistrate allowed them to leave.

Qiao Muyao didn't want to stay in this hellish place for a moment. After saying goodbye to everyone, she twisted the basket and left.

As soon as she reached the door, Qin Wuyan stopped her, "Ms. Qiao, are you going to the academy?"

When she thought of Ding Meng'er's crisp laughter, Qiao Muchao became very angry. She couldn't tell him that she had been rejected.

Qiao Muyao pondered for a moment and said, "I won't go."

"That's good." Qin Wuyan smiled lightly, "Mr. An is not in the academy today, and you won't be able to see anyone else if you go."

Qiao Muyao was stunned. If he was not in the academy, what was the reason for the laughter in the room?

"Then where did he go?"

"The exam will start in half a month. Those of them who have registered should worship at the Confucian Temple at this moment." Qin Wuyan said: "The Confucian Temple should be very lively today. I wonder if Madam Qiao is interested in going to see it?"
