NOVEL NEXT Chapter 326 Seizure
Looking at Ye Yunlian's attitude, Concubine Xian was quite satisfied.
At least when Ye Yunlian first came here, it was impossible for her to understand these etiquettes, let alone speak so beautifully. Whether she was sincere or pretending, it was a better result.
"Well, get up. My sister seems to be more sensible now than before. I am really happy for you."
"Thank you, ma'am."
Although Ye Yunlian's expression did not change, the joy in her eyes could not be concealed.
Concubine Xian waved to her: "There's no need to be so unfamiliar. In private, we are just sisters. How have you learned martial arts these days?"
"Replying to my sister, I have long understood my sister's hard work. I have been studying and practicing hard these days. Master has nothing to teach me anymore."
Ye Yunlian said with a somewhat proud tone.
"Okay, okay, my sister is indeed right about you. If that's the case, then I can let you out of the palace with peace of mind."
Hearing this, Ye Yunlian was a little surprised.
When she was asked to learn etiquette before, she thought she would stay in the palace from now on, at most doing some things for Concubine Xian and solving some problems secretly. She didn't expect to be able to leave the palace so soon.
But although she was confused in her heart, she didn't ask any more questions.
Concubine Xian felt more relieved when she saw that she had changed from being reckless, and said directly: "I recently received news that Ye Qingran is still safe and sound after going to the North, and she is taking your parents and brother to the North with her. They I didn’t intend to take you with me.”
Hearing this, Ye Yunlian recalled the days when she was ostracized by her family and couldn't help clenching her fists.
"I really feel wronged for you. You may not have been able to defeat Ye Qingran in the past, but now that you have learned so much and I am supporting you behind your back, it's time for you to try to avenge yourself."
"What should I do?" Ye Yunlian's eyes were firm.
She no longer wanted to live a life where she couldn't live without her family, and she didn't want to experience being ostracized by her family again. She might as well use Concubine Xian's help to be herself.
"I will find a way to send you back to your home. You just need to disguise yourself and stay at home to help me find out about Ye Qingran's condition. When the time is right, I will let you take action."
Concubine Xian's eyes were soft, "This mission has certain risks. After all, Ye Qingran is not easy to deal with, and I don't want you to get hurt, so when you are not absolutely sure, don't act rashly, do you understand?"
Ye Yunlian nodded: "I understand, but when the time comes, I hope I can kill Ye Qingran myself."
"no problem."
After the two reached an agreement, Concubine Xian told her the plan and arranged for her servants.
At the restaurant, Ye Guodong has already announced that he is selling the restaurant. However, this restaurant is relatively large and the business is good. The price is naturally higher. Most people cannot afford it. It will take some time to sell it.
Ye Guodong was a little anxious, but thinking that Ye Qingran was in need of money, he was unwilling to lower the price.
Before the restaurant is sold, it still has to operate normally. Ye Guodong also personally stays here, waiting for someone to pay for the restaurant.
But before the noble man came, the troublemaker was found first.
"You guys in Zhanranlou used to have unclean food and make people feel sick after eating it. I thought you had really corrected it, but now you actually eat people to death!"
A young man wearing sackcloth and mourning was crying and shouting at the door of the restaurant, attracting many people to watch.
Ye Guodong immediately went out to check and asked, "What's going on? When has the food in our restaurant ever killed anyone?"
When the young man saw him, he rushed up and wanted to beat him: "My father just came to your place for a meal. Within a moment of returning home, his lips turned blue and his eyes turned purple and he vomited blood and died. I told you, The food you ate is poisonous, do you still want to quibble about this?"
Ye Guodong only turned to one side, grabbed his arm and pushed him, causing him to fall to the ground.
"How can you prove that your father was poisoned after eating our food? If he ate something else along the way, wouldn't it be entirely our fault?"
The man fell to the ground, still pointing at his nose and said angrily: "My father just loves to drink your wine. He has been eating at your restaurant in recent days. Yesterday, he was accompanied by servants. They can all testify. I Dad only ate at your restaurant and didn’t touch anything else during the trip!"
The people around him have all heard about the unclean food in Zhanranlou. Although it was later clarified that someone deliberately poisoned it, who can guarantee that the poisoned food will not enter his mouth?
What's more, this time he still ate people to death. For such a big thing, they would naturally blame Zhai Ranlou for everything.
Ye Guodong frowned, feeling a little tricky, but still said: "Even if your servants can testify, they are your own people, and the testimonies cannot be counted."
"Master, it's not good, again..."
A waiter ran out of the restaurant in a panic. Halfway through his words, he saw so many people outside, so he lowered his voice and leaned into Ye Guodong's ear, "Someone has been poisoned again and has died."
"what?!"
Ye Guodong's eyes widened. He didn't expect that such a thing would happen while he was here.
The young man whose family member died of poisoning in front of him was very likely to be true. He immediately asked the waiter to guard every door of the restaurant. He must not let anyone out, while he himself went to check on the condition of the deceased.
When the young man saw this, he could guess a little bit and shouted: "Now they are eating people to death again. I want to report it to the official. This kind of unscrupulous restaurant must not be allowed to continue to open!"
After hearing this, the common people also sighed and supported him to report to the official.
Soon, police officers from Jingzhao Yamen came and surrounded the restaurant. The policeman shouted: "Everyone who has nothing to do with the restaurant should leave quickly. We are going to seal up the Zhairan Building. Where is the person in charge of the Zhairan Building? Come out voluntarily." , otherwise don’t blame us for being rude!”
The commotion was so loud that Ye Guodong had to come out, but there was no way to explain it.
He has confirmed that the people in the restaurant were indeed poisoned to death after eating their food, and it was highly poisonous without any disguise. The poisoned chef also committed suicide by taking the poison, leaving no clues.
At this point, the arrester confirmed that the matter was related to Zhanranlou, and directly took Ye Guodong and several people who had contact with the deceased's food to the Yamen for interrogation.
They were locked in the cell for the time being, and the specific situation of the incident was still being investigated outside. Ye Guodong lowered his head and became anxious.
If something like this happened, not to mention that the restaurant couldn't sell, even she would have to pay the consequences here. I wonder what happened to Ye Qingran and whether it would delay her affairs.
