Chapter 71 The Plan Begins

As soon as I arrived at the gate of Xu Fengjiao's house, I saw many villagers gathered around the gate of Xu Fengjiao's house.

"What new tricks has this old Han family come up with?"

"Did Xu Fengjiao have a new dish?"

"Impossible, new dishes are coming out so late? Why did I see someone from the government come?"

"I see, the eighth floor is what Xu Fengjiao did to offend the official!"

"That's right, this Xu Fengjiao is usually too shy, as if she is the only one in the whole world, now she will be punished!"

"I just saw that the official was checking their kitchen! Could it be that there is something wrong with their food!"

"Ah?! I ate it yesterday! What a bad luck!"

The discussions among the villagers watching at the gate were one after another, Zhang Shuqin at the gate naturally didn't need to say anything more for herself, the old woman looked at her new owner happily.

"Boss, look at what I said. Our plan is sure to come true. My plan took me a lot of effort to make it like this. Our tavern has eliminated the biggest thorn in its side!"

Before entering the courtyard, the old woman began to ask for credit, fearing that the new owner would forget her contribution.

"Well, you did a good job this time. Your son doesn't have to pay back the debt owed by our restaurant. Next time something like this happens, I will come to you again!"

"Boss, then the bounty we discussed earlier"

"Don't worry, I have a family business as big as Juhefang, and you are indispensable!"

"Don't worry, let's go up and have a look."

Zhang Shuqin led two people to occupy the front seat, and saw the government officials searching Xu Fengjiao's kitchen.

"My lord, what are you doing!"

Xu Fengjiao pulled the officials to intercede.

"Someone reported that your meals were filled with addictive drugs. We are following orders. Don't get in the way!"

While negotiating with the officials, Xu Fengjiao paid attention to the crowd. Finally, when she saw a figure, Xu Fengjiao let go.

"Okay, since the official wants to investigate, for the sake of our private chef's innocence, you should do it!"

With these words, the people from the government started a search with great momentum, but in the end... nothing was found.

"My lord, I have checked everything inside and outside the house, and there is nothing there!"

As soon as the result came out, the old lady quietly pushed Zhang Shuqin beside her.

"What's going on?! How could it not be!"

Zhang Shuqin is not in a hurry.

"The medicine was taken, maybe they accidentally poured out the food with the medicine, but I saw that the previous medicine was hidden in the east room!"

The east room is Han Mu's room. After all, Han Mu has a reputation. If he doesn't, he will be framing the official family. That's not a trivial matter!

"Are you sure?"

"Of course, this Xu Fengjiao wants to hide something, of course it's in the place where it's least likely to be searched!"

The old woman glanced at the new owner who was already looking bad, gritted her teeth and rushed out.

"Officer, I want to report, the medicine is in the east room!"

Xu Fengjiao's face changed drastically, and she blocked the door of the east room.

"The official can't search. My husband lives in the east room. He is weak and cannot withstand such a big commotion!"

"Officer, she's clearly guilty. I'm her mother-in-law. I just can't understand how she lied to the township and reported it. You must handle the case impartially!"

When the old woman said this, the officials had to believe it. After all, this old woman was from their own family. Even the old woman said so, so it should be true.

Several officials were about to rush in with their knives, but Xu Fengjiao still didn't want to move away.

"My lord, my husband is well-known. Do you really want to go in?! The person who reported it just said that there is a problem with our private kitchen, not our family. If you go in, if you can't find anything, this You may bear the crime of framing a famous scholar? I will not let it go, and I will definitely sue you all to the government!"

Xu Fengjiao's threat worked, and several officials did not dare to step forward. After all, no one knows what will happen to this famous man in the future. If something should be messed up, it is not a joke.

Seeing Xu Fengjiao's firm resistance, the old woman felt even more certain that this evidence must be hidden in Han Mu's room. In order to get the reward, the old woman gritted her teeth and rushed to the official.

"My lords, this is my adopted son who has been raising me for more than [-] years. He is famous, but he is not filial. He followed this demon girl to cause disaster in the village. Today, my wife is going to sue them. If my wife is wrong ,I."

Speaking of this, the old woman was also a little uncertain. Everyone looked at the old woman and waited for her to fall into the trap.

"I pleaded guilty to the crime of framing and went back to the government with you!"

The officials saw that someone was taking the blame, so there was nothing to be afraid of, and they went in with a knife.

Han Mu leaned against the head of the bed without saying a word, letting the gang search, his eyes were stern, and his face was dark.

Sure enough, nothing was found.

"My lord, there is nothing."

Before the official could answer, Han Mu spoke coldly.

"The official checked it out, and now it's time for me to talk about it. After all, I was admitted with a first-class grade, but it's just because I'm weak and I haven't been an official yet, and it doesn't mean that I can be bullied."

A few people looked like they had eaten shit. This person is actually a first-class man. The future is boundless. If this is a job, it is also a job in the Imperial City. Why am I so unlucky? The first case I just took office was like this figure!

"We came here after receiving a report. Even if you are the emperor, we have to come after receiving a report, right?"

The leader bowed to Han Mu's bedside, trying his best to make himself look dignified in the eyes of the people below, but he still couldn't hide his dog legs.

Han Mu's expression didn't change, he was still cold and frightening. Anyone who saw him would think that this person was scary.

"Since you are handling the case impartially, I won't make it difficult for you, so let's bring the culprit who framed us to justice."

It seems that Han Mu is the real official. At this time, the old woman at the door saw that something was wrong and wanted to run away. As soon as she ran to the door, she saw Zhang Shuqin grabbing the boss of Juhefang and entering the door.

"Master Guan, I want to report that the boss of Juhefang ordered Mrs. Han to frame the scholar and the private chef!"

It was only then that the old woman realized that she had been tricked by Zhang Shuqin, and wanted to run out angrily, but was stopped by the official.

"You said, what's going on!"

Master Guan looked at Zhang Shuqin. After eating so much today, he had to arrest all these slanderers, otherwise he would not be relieved!

Zhang Shuqin fell to her knees in front of the official.

"Master Guan Mingjian, a few days ago, this old woman came to me sneakily, saying that the owner of Juhefang wanted to bribe me to frame the private chef!"
