Li Xia put his things away, sat in the car, opened the window next to him, and the yard behind became smaller and smaller until he couldn't see it.

Reluctantly, Li Xia put down the curtains, and couldn't hold back her tears any longer. Thinking that there were grooms outside, Li Xia suppressed her tears again.

Two years later

"Do you know, I heard that someone is making trouble at the gate of Zuixiao Tower."

"What's the matter, what's the matter..." Someone who didn't know asked.

"It was said that he ate something from Zuixiaolou, but he died of poisoning, and now he is making trouble at the gate of Zuishiaolou."

"Hurry up and take a look." A group of people gathered around the entrance of Zuixiaolou, pointing inside.

Shopkeeper Tian ran to the Peony Garden panting.

Shouting "Boss Li, Boss Li..." in front of the door of a room

A small and exquisite girl in emerald green clothes opened the door and said like pouring beans: "Shopkeeper Tian, ​​what's the matter, I called my sister early in the morning. Yesterday my sister was late to develop new dishes. I just fell asleep, and it’s hard to fall asleep, you’re burning your ass, you’re yelling at the door early in the morning, if it’s not a big deal, I’ll definitely report you to Boss Xiao.”

"My aunt, if it's not a big deal, I can come to disturb Boss Li so early, go and call Boss Li, we can't afford it if it's late."

Shopkeeper Tian stood at the door like ants on a hot pot, running around in a hurry.

After a while, there were crackling sounds from inside. , the little girl Qixi came out.

Following the little girl was a girl in goose yellow cotton cloth, with a tall figure and a creamy skin. Looking at her face, she looked like a face like a lotus and eyebrows like a willow.

Every time I look at it, I feel shocked. Who would have thought that the tall and even ugly girl back then would become so beautiful now.

Shopkeeper Tian greeted him respectfully, "Boss Li."

Li Xia nodded in agreement, and lightly parted her lips and said, "But someone is here to make trouble?"

"Boss Li has a fortune teller, that's true." Shopkeeper Tian told Li Xia all the ins and outs of the matter.The deceased was a beggar named Li San, begging everywhere, not because there was no one at home.There is a brother in the family.Their family was poor and they had no money to marry a wife. Li Sanan was a little older, and married his younger brother with all the money he earned working in the city. Li San was kicked out.

Li San really didn't expect that his own brother would treat him like this, so he went crazy for a while, so he went out to beg for food. Zuixiaolou would give some hot soup to such a homeless man who begged to the door under Li Xia's order. The cuisine is located in the county, and the reputation of Zuixiaolou is also very good.

"It's Li San's brother who is making trouble, or his brother's wife." Li Xia asked.

"It seems to be his brother's wife. I didn't see Li Si." Shopkeeper Tian replied.

"Then find someone to ask if anyone saw Li San hovering near his house last night. If so, ask the time."

"Okay." Although shopkeeper Tian didn't know the reason for doing this, he believed in Li Xia quite a lot.

"By the way, how long will Xiaoshi come back?" Li Xia suddenly thought of Xiaoshi who had disappeared for a long time. Every year at this time Xiaoshi would disappear for a period of time, and he calculated that he should be back soon.

"Probably just a day or two." Boss Tian replied.

While speaking, several people came to the gate of Zuixiao Tower, and Li Si's wife cried loudly, "Uncle, why did you die so badly, how sad it must be to let Ah Si know that you are gone."

People who don't know Li Si's wife gave her a thumbs up.

"What a good woman, she still wants to seek justice for her uncle."

Knowing who Li Si's wife is, I just stood by and watched her act quietly.

Seeing Li Xia and the others coming, the relatives of Li Si's wife gathered around, like singing, "Zuixiaolou's food is poisonous, it killed people..."

"No one cares about it. It's a terrible death. Their food is poisonous."

There were more and more people watching, and in the private room of the opposite tea house, the two young masters watched with great interest.

One was Xiao Shi who had disappeared for a long time, and the other was wearing black clothes, with a handsome face but a little bit of a serious face, giving people the feeling of decisiveness.

"Isn't this your shop, why don't you go down and take care of it." The man in black clothes said.

"For Xiao Xia, it's a trivial matter, and I don't need to do it." Xiao Shi and You Rongyan said.

Looking at Xiao Shi's fanciful expression, Shangguan Hong patted his head: "This is the girl you like, she doesn't look very good either."

"Vulgar, as long as I know Xiao Xia is good." Xiao Shi rolled his eyes and said.

"No big or small."

Shangguan Hong really couldn't understand how Xiao Shi, who was obviously very mature and stable, would be so abnormal when he met a girl he liked.

Li Xia looked at the people surrounding him and asked, "Why, is this trying to make trouble?"

Li Xia's expression successfully deterred the crowd. They were just Li Si's wife who came to help them. They were all peasants in the countryside. They looked quite arrogant, but they were actually landlords who bullied the weak and feared the hard. Seeing that Li Xia was not fake With a look on their faces, several people stepped back.

Seeing the situation here, Li Si's wife thought to herself, these are useless things.

Turning his eyes, he got up, "My poor uncle, I'm useless, I can't get justice for you, what face do I have to face my husband, I'd better die."

After speaking, she rushed towards the wall, and the passers-by standing beside her quickly grabbed her. "Big sister, how can you seek death if you have something to solve?"

Li Si's wife cried and said to the big man, "What are you doing alive? He is rich and powerful. What does our fate matter? If we don't have it, we will be gone?"

The onlookers around were all poor people, who deeply felt the difficulty of living, and were immediately filled with righteous indignation.

Someone in the crowd shouted: "Zuixiaolou is too deceitful. There is poison in the food that kills people. They want to force their family members to die for justice. Let Zuishiaolou get out of An County, get out of An County."

Then people shouted one after another: "Let Zuixiaolou get out of An County, get out of An County..."

After all, Qixi is a little girl, she has never seen such a battle before, she asked in a low voice, "Sister, what should I do now?"

Li Xia looked at the angry people around and Li Si's wife who was provoking her, and chuckled lightly, "The fun is just beginning."

Then Lang Sheng said to the crowd: "Our Zuixiaolou has been open in An County for six years. It is An County that gave us the opportunity to develop. If things like today are our Zuishiaolou's responsibility, we will be responsible to the end. If it is It's not our Zuixiaolou's responsibility, we will be responsible to the end, after all, Li San is also a 'regular customer' of our Zuixiaolou, and he died for no reason like this, we will definitely seek an explanation for him."

After Li Xia finished speaking, he stared at Li Si's wife, but Li Si's wife dodged her eyes as soon as she touched Li Xia.
