Chapter 266 Making trouble
"Oh my God... This is unbelievable... Huanhuan, how do you know all this?"
Looking at the various equations on the paper, she couldn't understand them, but she was shocked.
"Don't ask too much about social matters. If I could figure it out, we'd just become kings and hegemons and sooner rather than later become the successors of communism."
She said without looking up, luckily she had a good memory.
I can still remember it after so many years of graduation, otherwise I would be really confused and it would be useless to have any ideas.
"Huanhuan, what on earth are you calculating? How can this thing allow us to become kings and dominate the world?"
"This is dynamite. Do you know what dynamite is?"
Xu Qingzhao's brain exploded again. Explosives are also known as gunpowder.
Huanhuan actually knows how to make gunpowder?
In fact, we already have gunpowder weapons, rockets, fireballs...
However, this is very dangerous, and the losses will be immeasurable if the operation is wrong.
And what is the successor to communism?
"I'll explain that to you later. Before that, I have a serious question for you."
Upon hearing this, Xu Qingzhao immediately sat up and waited for Huanxi's questions.
"Tell me honestly, do you have a force of your own?"
Xu Qingzhao frowned and said seriously:
"Have."
Huanxi understood. She had never mentioned this before. Perhaps it was to avoid worrying her.
But at the same time she was incredibly grateful for her brain today.
Qing Zhao was originally an extraordinary farmer-hunter, so of course he didn't need to have his own power.
Once she has power, it means oppression is born and she needs to resist.
"Then I'll give you the recipe. Can you find someone to make the finished product?"
"I try my best."
After a while, she finally said this.
It was already afternoon when I came out of the house, and as soon as I went out, I found a group of people gathered at the door.
I'm still happy. So many people have made reservations this afternoon. It's really great...
"Our master fell ill after coming back from dinner at your Shuxiangju! You guys at Shuxiangju poisoned him, didn't you?"
"That's right! You still don't admit it! What delicious food can a bunch of beggars sell?"
"I heard that the owner of Shuxiangju is an illiterate woman. Why would she open Shuxiangju? Is she doing something disgusting behind the scenes?"
"It's just... I heard that the owner of this place is very beautiful... Who knows if she's doing something behind the scenes?"
A group of men gathered in front of Shuxiangju, chatting with each other, and some citizens gathered around to watch the fun.
Yunchuan and the group of little kids stood at the door, feeling a little lost. She had just taken over Shuxiangju today and didn't know much about it. She was a little overwhelmed by what happened.
Huanxi quickly glanced at the crowd and accurately identified those people in the crowd who seemed to be watching the fun but were actually guiding the direction of the trend.
"Where is the shopkeeper? Let her come out! Pay her compensation! We want an explanation!" A man dressed as a servant shouted inside.
"Our master is dying in bed! The doctor said that he ate poison from the food at Shuxiangju! You at Shuxiangju are so cruel! Our master is a well-known good man! You are harming our master!" These were the words of a middle-aged woman dressed as a woman.
Huanxi had anticipated this day. Her Shuxiangju had been operating smoothly since its opening, which was unusual.
Logically speaking, since she had touched such a huge piece of cake from the catering business in town, someone would definitely take action against her. However, after more than a month, there was still no movement. Huanxi still thought these people were really kind...
I haven't done anything for a month, so I guess he's been trying to figure out Shuxiangju's background...
However, Huanxi simply couldn't stand such despicable tricks.
She turned to Xu Qingzhao and said:
"Go and ask Doctor Shen to come over. Come back quickly."
Xu Qingzhao immediately rushed out of the crowd upon receiving the order, while she walked to the front of the hall and bowed to everyone.
"I wonder when your master went to Shuxiangju? Was there any entourage with him at that time?"
A trace of guilt flashed across the woman's eyes, but she still calmed down and said:
"My master went to Shuxiangju seven days ago! He came back with vomiting and diarrhea, and now he's lying in bed, looking emaciated! Who are you?"
Huanxi smiled slightly and said, "I am the owner of Shuxiangju. Yunchuan, check the account book seven days ago to see if there is the master she mentioned."
Yunchuan received the message and immediately flipped through the account books kept by Zhilu and the others.
There were only two tables of guests seven days ago.
One is the Wanfang Pavilion, which is home to the young ladies of the Zhou family, and the other is the Xiangxi Pavilion, which is home to the wife and family of Mr. Liu.
The summer and winter courtyards are both idle and do not receive tourists.
Listening to Yunchuan's report, Huanxi smiled warmly at the woman:
"I wonder what the master's surname is? Where is he now? Don't worry, if it's really my Shuxiangju's food that made someone sick, I'll pay you money, go to jail, or even take my life. I'll let you do whatever you want."
"My husband's surname is Liu. Seven days ago, I followed my master to Wanxiang Pavilion!"
Huanxi sneered when he heard this and ordered Yunchuan:
"Now that it's clear, go report it to the authorities."
The woman immediately panicked when she heard about the report. She was just doing it for money. If the matter was really reported to the authorities, she would definitely be beaten with a stick...
Just when she was at a loss, two men came over carrying a stretcher with a middle-aged man on it, whose life or death was unknown.
Seven days ago, Huanxi was not at home, and she was not sure whether this man had been to Shuxiangju.
But judging by the account books, there were indeed no male relatives. However, it's possible that someone else was added at short notice...
The man carrying the stretcher put it down and began to cry and accuse Shuxiangju of crimes.
Some onlookers still recognized the man on the stretcher.
"Oh, isn't this Mr. Liu? How come he's become like this after just a few days of not seeing him?"
"That's right. We just paid for the bridge repair outside the town a while ago. Everyone knows about it."
When the woman saw her master being carried in, she immediately gained confidence and threw herself on the man and began to cry:
"Master! I'm here to seek justice for you! How could such a kind person like you end up like this? God! Look at my master! He's only forty years old. How can we, an orphan and a widow, survive after he left us behind?"
The woman's tearful accusations successfully ignited the anger of the crowd.
"Someone's been killed at Shuxiangju! We need justice for Mr. Liu!"
"Shuxiangju poisoned and murdered Mr. Liu! Seek justice for Mr. Liu!"
"Someone is killing someone at Shuxiangju!"
"This woman doesn't look like a good person at first glance! Did she fall for the kind-hearted Liu and want to be his concubine? Did he disagree, so she holds a grudge against him?"
"I also think...how clean can a restaurant run by a woman be..."
"Make way! The doctor is here! Let the doctor in!" Xu Qingzhao's voice woke everyone up from their anger.
The crowd made way for Doctor Shen, who came in breathlessly. He glanced at the man on the ground. Without even taking his pulse, he spoke directly:
"He was poisoned."
