Survival rules for restaurants: cooking and eating melons at the same time

Chapter 185: Apprentice of Gucheng Mountain Man

If it wasn't the blood of a child, or the blood of another animal, then...

An Qiao couldn't imagine it.

I wanted to follow Niuniu directly, but I was worried about the safety. I frowned, called Wangcai and Laifu, and followed Niuniu quietly.

As soon as I walked to the door, I saw many yamen runners surrounding the place in three layers.

Niu Niu sat on the ground and cried in despair, "Wuwuwuwu, it's me, I did it, don't take mother away, don't wuwuwuwuwu..."

Niu Niu couldn't figure it out.

My mother treated me so well, why was she arrested? My father gambled away all the money in the family, and now he was forcing the whole family to be separated.

The corner of An Qiao's eye twitched, and she heard the woman yelling at Niuniu, "Niuniu, be good, listen to your mother, and finish the job."

Niuniu was still crying. The governor of Jingdu saw An Qiao first and said with a fake smile, "Ms. An is really... very strong. How come she always appears at the crime scene? How come she always finds out some secrets?"

An Qiao bowed to him and pretended not to understand.

After all, the fact that public opinion did not quickly tie Gu Qingyun and An Qiao together had already made him anxious.

Then he asked, "Sir, what happened here?"

The governor of Kyoto snorted coldly, "Kill your husband."

Finished talking and left.

Niuniu was still squatting on the ground crying, crying until she was hoarse. An Qiao wanted to leave, but she couldn't bear it. "Niuniu, right? Stop crying. What did your mother tell you to do?"

Niuniu cried and said, "My mother wants me to go to the pawnshop tomorrow and sell myself... wuwuwuwuwuwuwu..."

Only then did An Qiao know why the little girl came to see her in the first place.

Suddenly I felt sad and a little scared. The laws of the Dayan Dynasty were very strict towards murderers.

If I accidentally let this person in the restaurant, and the crime is exposed later, the restaurant will be in trouble, and I will also suffer the consequences.

The thought of this gives me a chill.

"Listen to your mother and go to bed early. It's not safe outside." An Qiao didn't want to get involved in these things. Anyway, her mother had already told her where to go. It would be fine for her to be a slave and be bought by the master's family.

The little girl nodded while crying, turned around and was about to enter the yard filled with blood mist.

An Qiao sighed deeply. She could understand the sensitivity and helplessness of children about these things, but she could never get over it in her heart.

In fact, she didn't intend to harm herself at the beginning.

But who would have thought that the news would spread throughout Kyoto Prefecture the next day. The reason was that the dead man was actually the eldest disciple of Gucheng Shanren's generation.

Not only An Qiao, but even the Dali Temple did not expect that the person they had been looking for for so many days was actually right under their noses.

The key point is that he is still a gambler. Apart from learning skills from his master, he spends the rest of his time in the gambling house.

Because he was unable to perform on stage during this period, his decadent and gambler-like nature was magnified to the maximum.

Guchengshanren could no longer sit still and ordered Xu Banshan to die miserably.

Although the man was a gambler, he was very good at storytelling and was much smarter than the young disciple. He originally wanted him to inherit the title of Guchengshanren.

But now Xu Banshan has not been overthrown, the Kyoto Restaurant is still there, but his eldest disciple is gone first.

For a time, Kyoto Prefecture was the epitome of food excitement.

Just after morning, Niu Niu was already kneeling at the door of the Kyoto restaurant. Her red and swollen eyes and some obvious dark circles made it easy to tell that this child had hardly slept last night.

An Qiao was startled by her, "What are you doing?"

"I know that the young lady is a beautiful and kind person. It is my fault that I have wronged her and I have done something wrong. But I had no choice yesterday. I just wanted to save my mother. I hope the young lady can forgive me. Now that I have sold myself, I can no longer come to see the young lady. I hope everything goes well for the young lady." As he said this, he was about to kowtow.

An Qiao quickly hid aside and said, "Shorten your life, shorten your life, why are you doing this?"

"My dear, I am here to help you. I know that the matter of Guchengshanren has caused a lot of uproar. My father said that they will perform at Miaoyin Hall in Kyoto Prefecture. Guchengshanren wants to wait until Mr. Xu Banshan is in a hurry to perform, so that his two disciples can build momentum. I don't know the specific plan, but I heard these from my father when he was chatting with mother. My father is very dissatisfied with all this and he goes to the gambling house to vent every day. He likes to gamble and he will gamble even more when he encounters something. Yesterday he planned to sell me out, and my mother killed him in desperation. That's all I know." After saying that, Niu Niu kowtowed, stood up and left.

An Qiao stood at the door in a daze, her mind blank. Was she being too harsh on a child? But what could she do if she wasn't?

Helplessly, An Qiao turned around and went back to the restaurant, wrote down everything Niu Niu had just said, and went to the Dali Temple.

The Dali Temple was naturally very busy, and everyone heard the news and gossip that morning.

An Qiao recounted every detail of what had happened from yesterday to this morning, and handed over the paper she had just copied down.

"Now, everyone thinks that Guchengshan has only lost a disciple, and no one has yet involved him in this matter with us. But from now on, I will be afraid of him, because a cornered rabbit will bite." Gu Qingyun sighed lightly.

"It's like this. Although Xu Banshan has always been in my store, this matter will probably not be settled. Given the attitude of the Kyoto prefect last night, I guess the daughter of the Minister of Rites is still ignoring him, and he is getting anxious." An Qiao said in a low voice.

"After playing such a big game, if we don't get any benefits, we will lose a lot, so we should be careful recently." Gu Qingyun reminded.

An Qiao nodded, "I'm leaving first. I have something to do in the restaurant."

After saying that, he left the Dali Temple without looking back. The two of them now had to avoid suspicion, so they had to leave immediately after showing up for a while.

Otherwise, I wonder what kind of shocking jokes those couple fans in Kyoto Prefecture would write.

Gu Qingyun took the address and was about to go. Xin Hai was unusually alert and said, "If you go now, Lord Shaoqing, won't you be exposed?"

"What to expose?" Gu Qingyun thought about it and asked in confusion.

"We found out that it was most likely the man from Gucheng Mountain who was behind this, but we don't have any evidence at all. Now his eldest disciple has died, and I don't know why he's going crazy." Xinhai reminded in time.

Gu Qingyun then remembered that all he could find during this period were supporting evidence, not direct evidence.

If you show up rashly, the other party will probably be able to gain leverage over you.

With a sigh, Gu Qingyun sat back to his original seat.
