's no need for her to learn these things, right"Li Lao Tai was amused and touched, leading them into the house before saying, "Master Hou, everyone in the family knows you love this girl dearly, but F...Good things don't travel far, while bad news spreads for miles.

In the blink of an eye, everyone knew that Sihai Ju's food was deadly.

The teahouse is right across from SHai Ju, and many people can see it. Everyone is discussing it.

"The Four Seas Residence is the Wang family's property. Wang Xinqiu is a cautious person, and he has been running the business for many years with good results. How could such a mishap happen!"

"I heard that Wang the Elder's headache seems to be getting worse, perhaps he doesn't have time for business here."

As they were speaking, someone suddenly cried out, "Oh my! Mr. Wang is here!"

A crowd gathered outside the tavern parted, making way for Wang Fu carrying Wang Yuanwai on his back. Behind him followed several small helpers from the tavern, rushing towards them in a hurry.

Once a graceful and handsome gentleman, Wang Yuanwai has gone through some hardship. Now his hair is somewhat dishevelled, his cheeks sunken, and his eyes are dark with fatigue. He looks very haggard.

When they reached the front of the winehouse, Wang Fu set down Wang Yuanwai. He bowed to everyone and said with a wry smile, "I've caused you all some trouble."

Everyone nodded awkwardly, unwilling to respond.

It was that middle-aged man in mourning who stepped forward and shouted, "Wang Xinqiu, you scoundrel! You promised to give my family an explanation last night, but then you disappeared. Tell me, did your tavern poison my father to death!"

Wang Yuanwai frowned, wanting to speak, but suddenly clutched his head, the pain making him unsteady on his feet.

Wang Fu and the shopkeeper hurriedly helped him up. The shopkeeper quickly asked, "Sir, has your headache come back"

Wang Fu whispered back, "Yes, it's been several days. Otherwise, how could I have neglected this place."

The shopkeeper was anxious.

He's still waiting for his master to make a decision, what should he do now

That middle-aged man was relentless, wailing and demanding an explanation from Sihaiju.

Mr. Wang stood there with difficulty, soothing them in a low voice: “Don’t worry, I will definitely give your family an explanation. Our Sihai Ju has been open for twenty years and has never done anything like this!”

"You said you would give an explanation, what kind of explanation can bring my father back to life My father worked hard his whole life, just starting to enjoy some comfort, came here to eat some good food, and was poisoned by you!"

"Oh, father! You died so tragically!"

"Father, if you have a spirit in heaven, please see this! This wicked person killed you and still refuses to admit it!"

In the funeral procession, everyone was wailing and clamoring to push forward.

Both the servant and the shopkeeper were terrified, desperately shielding Master Wang as they retreated backward.

Wang Yuanwai's face turned as pale as death. He tried to speak, but blood gushed from his mouth!

Crimson blood, splattered on the bluestone steps, glinted in the sunlight, especially eye-catching.

People around were so frightened that they scattered far away, even the mourners in mourning clothes froze in their tracks.

In the teahouse, Li Lao Er was so shocked that he wished he could jump out of the window. Fortunately, Mr. Wen and Liu Zhiheng were quick to grab him back and whispered soothingly, "Don't worry, it's all fake!"

Fake

Li La Er was a little dazed, "It's impossible, my big brother coughed up blood, he really coughed up blood!"

He has been pacing back and forth on the beach lately, though he knows his elder brother is plotting to ruin Wang's business, he doesn't know how to proceed.

Could this all be fake But how could someone fake spitting blood

Mr. Wen pulled him down and whispered, "Manager Ye sent over a few helpers who are skilled in martial arts. This spitting blood is one of their tricks. All these troublemakers were brought here by them. Don't worry, your elder brother is fine."

Liu Zhiheng also nodded, "This S大家好ihai Ju was founded by the old master of the Wang family. He is most proud of the reputation of S大家好ihai Ju. Your elder brother insists on attacking here first."

Li Lao Er only then let out a sigh of relief. Looking down, he saw that the situation in front of the tavern had become even more chaotic.

After Wang Yiwai spat blood, he fainted. The shopkeeper and Wang Fu were terrified out of their wits. Wang Fu carried Wang Yiwai and ran home.

The shopkeeper also wanted to follow, but the family in mourning refused to let him go.

"No, you can't leave! If you go, who are we going to talk to"

The shopkeeper really couldn't do anything about it. With the master still missing, he could only say: "There is silver at the counter. I will give you a hundred taels first. Please send the old man off first. As for the rest, we'll have to wait until our master returns."

The middle-aged man in mourning probably also felt that he couldn't squeeze any more benefits out of today, so he nodded.

“I sent the old man away first, but you still have to give me an explanation, or I'll report this to the county magistrate!”

The shop owner quickly retrieved some silver and handed it to the man. The funeral procession finally moved forward again, passing through the marketplace, but no one knew where they were headed.

With such a thing happening, who would dare to stay and continue eating The Si Hai Ju was instantly empty.

The shopkeeper was helpless and could only close the shop, leaving to see how his fellow merchant in the south of the city was doing.

In such a bustling city, such a renowned place as Si Hai Ju, it's just like this, shut down.

Those who know sigh, those who don't are curious. Rumors spread like fermented dough, quickly becoming common knowledge on every street corner.

Someone talked about how Wang Laotai, the elder, founded Si Hai Ju and how prosperous it was.

Some people say that after Wang Waiye took over, the business continued to thrive.

Some people also mentioned that back then, Mr. Wang was seriously injured and picked up by Old Master Wang. He didn't know his name or where he came from. In order to repay his kindness, he married into the Wang family and had children with Miss Wang. They were happily married for half their lives...

People have always been so strange and contradictory. They say that inquiring about someone's private life is rude, but their ears just love to hear it.

Thus, the old stories of the Wang family were dug up and told thoroughly.

Some people sighed with regret, some gasped in dismay, some felt sympathy, and some even reveled in misfortune.

The Wang family and the Sihai Residence have become the hot topic of everyone's after-dinner conversations...

In the teahouse, Li La Er saw that the front of the restaurant suddenly fell silent and was a little stunned.

Although he is clever and shrewd, his horizons are limited. Today's events are the first time he has encountered something like this.

A flourishing restaurant, it was shut down in the blink of an eye, not even half an hour had passed from start to finish!

Liu Zhiheng closed the window and couldn't help but shake his head, "I have to say, Zhen Sheng is really ruthless. He has been running this restaurant for many years, and he just destroyed it. Word of mouth is the hardest thing to build and the easiest to destroy. I'm afraid no one will come here to eat again!"

Mr. Wen poured tea for the few people present and said, "To outsiders, it looks like Haixi Ju has a good reputation after ten years in business. But in Zhen Sheng's eyes, this is his shame. He has worked hard for so many years, putting in so much effort, but all he did was to keep the business going for his enemy. Only by destroying it can he feel relieved."

"If I were in her shoes, I would do the same," Mrs. Cui nodded.

Li La Er took a sip of tea, then slowly asked, "What's next What else does my big brother plan to do"

"Don't worry, your older brother has everything planned out, every step connected, you won't lose anything. The Wang family business will have other things happening soon, and when they need money, we can sell this tavern naturally."

Liu Ziheng comforted Li Lao Er, pointing at himself and saying: "My new employer is right here. I'm just a temporary lucky charm, for a year and a half at most. Then I'll return this place to your older brother."

Li Lao'er nodded, such a bustling city center and thriving store, it would be a shame to close it.

He wanted to ask more questions, but on second thought, even if he found out the truth, it wouldn't help. What if he exposed the Li family and ruined his brother's plan

"Since we live far away and it's difficult to visit the city often, we entrust all of this to you. But if there's anything you need, please send someone to let us know. For my elder brother's safe return home, we brothers are not afraid of anything."

Having said that, he stood up and bowed deeply, causing Mr. Wen and Liu Zhiheng to quickly help him up. he looked at the crowd and the complex-looking Wang Zechen. With a cold face, he said: “Wang sir, these people all say they are from your Wang family, and their order is to destroy all the famous flo...
