Chapter 324 What happened to the restaurant?
Everyone gathered around, and even many diners turned their heads back. They had heard what happened just now. Some people just watched, while others looked at An Qiao with concern.
An Qiaodu smiled and returned a gentle smile.
It’s not that she doesn’t care at all, but at this point, there’s no point caring.
I can only pray that Wu Jiangan’s father and brother can still control him and still care about the family’s reputation.
Many people in the restaurant were sighing because of this small incident. It seems that no matter how much money is made, it is still a good business, no matter how much contribution is made to the court, or how many powerful people are met.
Compared with those families with generations of officials and omnipotent power, it is still insignificant.
……
After several days of bumpy ride, Gu Qingyun and his group finally passed through another continent. The Kyoto Prefecture was in the northeast, while Wubang was in the southwest.
It is just a long, straight line, with mountains and rivers in the middle, and a winding route, so it is indeed difficult to walk on.
Zhang Qiu and his subordinate Guan Bei had evolved from vomiting while walking all the way to being able to eat less without vomiting.
"If you two continue like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to make it to Wubang." Xiao Pingzi looked at the two people with yellow faces and sighed.
He originally thought that he was the one least suited to long-distance travel, but he didn't expect that there were two others who were even worse off.
"I wish Eunuch Ping would pay more attention to me. I really can't eat anything. I feel like my stomach is churning." Zhang Qiu said weakly.
Gu Qingyun spoke at the right time, "You should eat something. If you go out again, you will reach Huanzhou, and the road there will be even more difficult to travel. You may even have to get off the carriage and wade through the water. If you two continue like this, I'm afraid you will have to be carried by the secret guards."
Gu Qingyun didn’t quite understand either. Why would they go on a journey of thousands of miles and look for two people who would get carriage sick?
Zhang Qiu then reluctantly took the sweet potato and swallowed it silently, but perhaps because he had been in the car for too long, he felt like he was moving frantically even when sitting on the ground.
This time I went to Ubang, I really didn’t know if I would be able to come back alive.
Gu Qingyun also sat aside eating sweet potatoes, and no one spoke for a while.
There have been no clues in the past few days, and there is still only the lotus base.
If this lotus base was bought by someone from Nanzhou's Hua family, then it is possible that the Hua family was involved in Madam Rong's matter.
But, after thinking about it, Gu Qingyun still didn't understand. Why should he take the risk to replace the lotus base? What's wrong with leaving it there?
Did the merchant remember it wrong, or was there someone else, or someone impersonating the Nanzhou Hua family?
After a short rest, they got back on the carriage.
Zhangqiu and the other man closed their eyes and dared not open them. Gu Qingyun was still painting the lotus base nearby. Although he was not as good as Wuhuan in painting, he was from a noble family after all, so painting simple things was no problem for him.
Now that the picture had been drawn, Gu Qingyun simply wrote down the clues he had obtained one by one.
Everything is like an invisible net that brings everything together, but if you look closely, you feel like there is always a link missing.
Having eaten bland dry food these days, Gu Qingyun couldn't help but think of the Kyoto restaurant.
Although I have only been out for five days, I always feel like something is missing.
At normal speed, it would take them about thirty days to reach Ubang, but now they covered the distance that would normally take ten days in just five days.
You can imagine how fast the speed is and how hard it is to work day and night.
Gu Qingyun closed his eyes and dozed off, hoping that everything would go well.
……
At dinner time, Zhao Huaiqing and Wu Huan came to the Kyoto Restaurant.
As soon as I entered the restaurant, I felt that the atmosphere was a little different. The previous light and relaxed atmosphere seemed to disappear, and it was replaced by a somewhat alert state.
When they entered the restaurant, no one paid attention to them before, but today, as soon as they entered, everyone's eyes were focused on them.
"Wuhuan, are you too ugly? That's why they all look at you?" Zhao Huaiqing looked around and joked in a low voice.
Wu Huan... "Probably not. They should see that there is dirt on your face."
"Dirt, what dirty stuff? Help me get it away." Zhao Huaiqing said as he almost got his face close to Wu Huan.
Wu Huan mercilessly pressed down the sudden big face, "What are you doing? What are you doing?"
When the people in the restaurant saw that it was Wu Huan and Zhao Huaiqing, they turned their eyes away.
When ordering, Zhao Huaiqing looked at the new dish, stinky tofu.
What is stinky tofu? It sounds a bit weird.
"I want this." Zhao Huaiqing pointed to the three words "stinky tofu" without hesitation.
Autumnal Equinox? Good sir.
"This stinky tofu can be steamed, cooked with rice noodles, or cooked with fish and beef. Which one do you want to eat, Mr. Zhao?"
"Wow, you can cook fish. I want to cook fish." Zhao Huaiqing's eyes lit up. He hadn't eaten fish from Kyoto Restaurant for a long time. He was still a little greedy.
Qiufen quickly wrote it down, and the two of them ordered a few side dishes.
Qiufen agreed readily and went to the kitchen.
Zhao Huaiqing called her again, "Qiufen, what happened in your restaurant today? Why do you feel something strange?"
Although Zhao Huaiqing and Wu Huan stayed in Jingdu Prefecture, without the need to travel and without the risk of such a big trip, almost all the cases, big and small, transferred from Jingdu Prefecture to the Dali Temple fell on the two of them.
Although there were other minor officials who could handle cases, almost all the serious cases were handed over to Zhao Huaiqing and the other two. The two of them were too busy these days to leave and had no time to eat in the restaurant.
I occasionally heard some gossip about Anle.
But I heard that the young lady handled it very well, so I didn't come to see her.
Qiufen looked at Anqiao, then at Zhao Huaiqing, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
But then he thought that this was not really a secret, and almost all the diners present today had seen or heard it, so he briefly talked about what had happened recently.
Zhao Huaiqing and Wu Huan were stunned. How could there be such shameless people in this world?
"Although our family is not a very good one, and I am just a branch of the Zhao family, it is better than being alone. If... that person really comes, please go to the Dali Temple to call for help." Zhao Huaiqing couldn't believe his ears. How could such a ridiculous thing happen?
The key is that one dares to speak and the other dares to believe.
Qiufen nodded gratefully, "The young lady said that if it really doesn't work, she can hide for a while. But she is really too stubborn, and there is nothing we can do."
Zhao Huaiqing could understand An Qiao very well. "An Le has already discovered that the young lady has so many shops in Jingdu Prefecture. The young lady can't escape it. No matter what, An Le has made up his mind to bite off a piece of meat from the young lady, and he will not let go easily."
