Erbao followed closely: "I'll go too!"

Shen Chen shook his head: "You are at home, I will ask your Uncle Yan to accompany you. If you need anything, come to him, and don't go out."

"But……"

"Don't worry, my parents can handle this matter."

After Lin Xi found the things, she went over and squatted in front of Dabao and Erbao, with her eyes level with them. She held the hands of Sanbao and Sibao who were surrounding them, and comforted them: "Mom and dad will be back soon. You guys stay at home." Wait for mom and dad to think about what you want to eat tonight, and mom will cook it for you when she comes back."

Then he turned to Dabao and Erbao, "Mom, I understand that you want to do something to help your parents. Then you should take good care of your younger brothers and sisters. When Uncle Yan comes, you should also pay attention to him. Don't let the villagers find him or recognize him. Bring trouble, okay?"

Dabao had already heard about Yan Zhong and nodded when he heard the words.

Erbao promised: "Mom, don't worry! We are at home, nothing will happen to you."

Lin Xi hugged them, took their things and left with Shen Chen. Outside, Zhang Ze saw them coming out and quickly followed them. The three of them drove the carriage to the county.

On the way, Lin Xi asked Zhang Ze about the specific situation, such as how he found out that red pepper was poisonous.

Zhang Ze said: "Use silver needles. People who heard it said that they used silver needles to detect better results! The poison detected was exactly the poison in the deceased. In short, the current situation is that the person ate us The red peppers sold in your shop are poisoned, and the people from the Yamen will take you back for questioning, and the previous customers also asked for the return of the red peppers and compensation."

Lin Xi frowned even more tightly, "This is too much of a coincidence. They bought red peppers from my shop together the day before yesterday, and today they came together to ask for a refund."

Zhang Ze suddenly had an idea and said: "Sister Lin, those people know Wang Yaozu personally. Could it be that they had discussed in advance to frame you, and they will blackmail you together after the Dongchuang incident happens!"

Lin Xi's expression paused slightly. It's not impossible, but...

"What good does it do to them if they do this? I have no enmity with them in the past, and I have no enmity with them recently."

"I have a grudge." Shen Chen suddenly said.

Lin Xi looked at him.

Shen Chen said: "To be precise, it's a holiday. The hot pot you and Ke Yunlou jointly sell, as well as the new dishes launched in the past year, have almost taken away the business of most restaurants in the county. They are all businessmen and have no money to make. , I will naturally hold a grudge against you and Ke Yunlou."

Lin Xi suddenly woke up as if enlightened.

Yes, this is a plan that kills two birds with one stone!

On the one hand, if it is confirmed that the red peppers in the department store are poisonous, not only the department store will not be able to continue operating, but the Keyun Building will also be seriously affected.

On the other hand, even if it is proven that this matter is not a problem with the department store Red Chili Peppers, people will still have a grudge against the department store, and Ke Yun Lou, which sells similar things to the department store, will still be affected.

As a result, they gradually failed to do business, and other restaurants would have opportunities!

Lin Xi pressed her eyebrows, "I have to think about how to solve this matter, and we must not affect both the Department Store and Keyun Building." Because she will have to cooperate with Keyun Building on her semi-finished project later!

Shen Chen squeezed her palm and said calmly: "Don't worry, I'll go to the Yamen first to see what's going on."

Soon they arrived in the county and went directly to the department store.

There was indeed a large group of people gathered in front of the department store. They all looked like businessmen in their clothes, and there were also ordinary people who had bought things in the department store.

Xu Wu and Xu Qi were so anxious that they were struggling with the guests at the door. They could hardly stand the battle.

Some people even lost their patience after waiting for too long. When the fire broke out, they directly hit them with items from the baskets in their arms. Xu Wu had several bumps on his forehead.

Lin Xi quickly walked over and shouted: "Stop!"

The crowd fell silent for a moment, all looking at her.

When the five Xu brothers saw her, they almost cried: "Master, you are finally here!"

These words were like clicking a button, and the crowd rushed up in droves, clamoring for an explanation from Lin Xi. The noise made Lin Xi have a headache and could not speak.

Seeing them rushing to the front and trying to surround Lin Xi, Shen Chen, who had parked the carriage, saw this and strode over with frowning eyebrows and a cold voice: "Shut up! If anyone makes trouble again, come with me to the Yamen!"

Many people recognized Shen Chen and immediately fell silent. They were suffocated by his momentum and took small steps back.

Five or six people came out of the shop at this time, all official officials. When they saw Shen Chen, they immediately came up to greet him.

Shen Chen said in a deep voice: "Leave four people here to guard and don't allow anyone to cause trouble. Others, I will go back to the Yamen with you first."

"this……"

The officials were stunned.

Shen Chen looked at them coldly: "Isn't it possible?"

"Okay, okay! The department store is an important place involved in the case. Of course it is necessary to keep someone on guard!" the official said hurriedly.

Shen Chen turned to Lin Xi and whispered: "I'll go first. If something happens, call the official. If someone attacks you," he glanced around the people around him, making their hearts tremble when he saw it, "——Don't bear it. Come on, I'll take care of everything."

Lin Xi felt warm in her heart and nodded: "You should also pay attention to your safety and go quickly."

Shen Chen left with the officials.

The surroundings were silent for a moment. Lin Xi looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, my department store has been open for a few months. It has always relied on reputation, and the things sold are always good. Everyone has seen it before."

Everyone looked at each other hesitantly.

Lin Xi continued: "Something happened today. Although I don't know what happened, but someone must have framed me. Please wait patiently. Our department store will cooperate with the government's investigation. I believe the government will give me justice." and innocence.”

"What if you really did it? Whoever does bad things would admit that they are bad people!" Some people shouted.

Lin Xi said categorically: "If this is the case, my department store will repay you ten times. If I don't fulfill my promise, you can smash my store. Everything in my store counts as the same. You can move out to pay off the debt. I have no complaints." .There is an official here to prove it!”

The people were stunned after hearing this, and they all hesitated and said nothing.

Lin Xi took brothers Zhang Ze and Xu Wu in and asked the official to guard the door.

After entering, Lin Xi immediately asked: "What is the surname of the deceased? When did he go to Fulai Building for dinner, when was he found dead, and who else was at home?"

Xu Wu hurriedly said: "I have inquired about this. The deceased's surname was Zhao. He had dinner at Fulailou at noon yesterday and was found dead in the evening. There is only one old mother left in this person's family. It was his old mother who reported The case. Another thing is that this man seems to have been in very bad health before and became skinny and skinny. Boss, do you think it is because he is not in good health and cannot eat spicy food? Will he die?"
