The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife

Chapter 149 Making trouble

"Everyone, come and see, the food in Liweilou is poisonous and can kill people." The shout attracted the people from the whole street to gather around. Shopkeeper Liu heard the noise from outside and hurried out from behind the counter. He saw a door panel in front of the door, and lying on the door panel was a man in green clothes, with his eyes closed and blood on the corners of his mouth, lying there motionless.

"What are you doing?" Shopkeeper Liu looked at the wailing old woman. The old woman was wearing a brand new dress and sitting on the ground, crying and saying things like "you've killed someone" to the people around her.

"Look, my son had lunch here at noon and died of poisoning when he returned. Poor old widow, I have no one but me."

"Don't talk nonsense. How could the food in our Liweilou be poisonous?" The waiter behind Shopkeeper Liu couldn't stand it anymore and stood up to refute.

"Look, they are still quibbling. Where is justice?" The old woman started howling again when she heard it!

People around also began to talk about it:

"Isn't Liweilou quite famous? How could something like this happen?"

"Yeah, I used to eat here often. Is it really poisonous?"

"Could it be that someone deliberately framed Liweilou?"

Manager Liu looked at the situation with a gloomy face. He knew that if this matter was not handled properly, it would have a great impact on Liweilou. He took a deep breath and said calmly: "Fellow villagers, please be patient. We have been in business for many years and have never had such a thing happen. The cause of death of this young man is still under investigation, and we will definitely give you an explanation. At the same time, please calm down this lady and let's figure out the matter together."

After saying this, he signaled the waiter to ask a doctor to examine the body of the deceased, while he personally went forward to comfort the old woman.

"I don't want a doctor. What's the use of a doctor when the person is dying? You have to pay compensation." The old woman's eyes rolled when she heard that she had to hire a doctor.

"Yes, pay compensation." Someone in the crowd echoed.

"Madam, since this happened in my Liweilou, we will naturally take full responsibility. You said that your son died of poisoning after eating in my restaurant, so we must investigate it thoroughly. Don't worry, I will never shirk responsibility if it is the fault of Liweilou." Shopkeeper Liu remembered what the boss had told him in the morning. He didn't expect that he would come to him so soon. He thought it was just a matter of paying some silver, but he didn't expect the other party to play such a big game and even kill someone. He called another waiter and asked him to notify the lady in the backyard.

Shopkeeper Liu looked at the old woman in front of him and couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. Her eyes flickered, as if she was hiding some secret. Moreover, when she heard that she needed to see a doctor, her reaction was too intense, which made Shopkeeper Liu feel that something was wrong.

He took a deep breath and decided to stabilize the situation first. So, he tried to speak to the old woman in a gentle tone: "Madam, please don't get excited. Your son had an accident in our restaurant. We will investigate the matter thoroughly and give you an explanation. But before that, we need to ask a doctor to confirm the cause of death so that we can determine who is responsible."

After hearing this, the old woman's face flashed with panic, but she quickly regained her composure. She looked at Manager Liu coldly and insisted, "No need, my son is already dead, what else do you want? Hurry up and pay the money!"

Manager Liu frowned, thinking that this old woman was really difficult to deal with. However, he still patiently explained: "Madam, if we don't find out the cause of death, we can't be sure whether it is really the food in our restaurant that caused the poisoning. If it is not our fault, wouldn't it be wrong to accuse us? So, please understand and let the doctor come to check it out."

At this time, some people in the crowd began to whisper, accusing the old woman of being unreasonable. Seeing this, Manager Liu took the opportunity to say to everyone: "Fellow villagers, everyone has seen that we have always been operating with integrity and will never shirk our responsibilities. But this matter concerns human life, so we must handle it carefully. I hope everyone can support our approach and let the truth come out."

Amid the discussion, the old woman's face became more and more ugly. She knew that it would be disadvantageous for her to continue the stalemate, so she glared at Manager Liu with gritted teeth and stopped talking.

At this moment, the lady from the backyard came hurriedly. She asked seriously, "What happened? Why is there so much noise?"

Manager Liu quickly told his wife what had happened and said that he had sent someone to ask for a doctor. His wife nodded, her eyes fell on the corpse and the old woman on the ground, and a sharp look flashed in her eyes.

"Go and report to the police." A cold voice came from the building, and Yuan Chu came out supporting Jiang Xing.

"Xing'er, why did you come out? Go in and have a rest. It's not a big deal, your mother can handle it!" Xie Lan came over quickly to support Jiang Xing. She told Yuanchu to bring a chair over and let Jiang Xing sit down.

"Mother, it's okay. I'll just sit here and watch!" Jiang Xing looked at Xie Lan comfortingly.

Only then did everyone see the appearance of the young man in white clearly. His skin was a little pale, and his jade-like face exuded a cool aura. His eyebrows were as thick as ink, slightly raised, giving people a deep sense of mystery. His eyes were like a deep lake, clear and bright, as if they could penetrate people's hearts. His nose was straight and his lips were tightly closed, revealing a kind of determination and decisiveness. His long hair fell on his shoulders like a waterfall, fluttering slightly, like a fairy descending to the earth. His temperament was elegant and cold, as if he did not belong to this world, making people unable to help but fall for him.

"Call the police? You killed someone and you dare to call the police. You are really the thief crying thief! Oh my God, this is so unfair!" When everyone was still marveling at the appearance of the young man in white, the old woman started to wail again. She also looked at the thin man in the crowd from time to time.

"If someone dies, of course we have to report it to the police!" the waiter retorted.

"Yes. Yes." The people also echoed.

"What do you know? Even if the truth is found after we report it to the police, I would have starved to death. And we don't even know when the truth will be found. Don't I need to eat?" The old woman glared at the person in the crowd who agreed.

"That's true." Someone murmured.

"That's right. We ordinary people don't have the time and energy to fight a lawsuit," another person echoed.

"What should we do? We can't just let it go like this." Someone raised the question.

"Why not let them pay the money?" someone suggested.

"Yes, pay compensation." Others responded.

"Pay compensation! That's right, just pay money? We are the victims." The old woman jumped up immediately when she heard this.

"Didn't you say that the deceased was your relative? If that's the case, we should find out the truth." someone said.

"Yes, yes." The others nodded in agreement.

"You..." The old woman was so angry that she was shaking all over, but she couldn't speak.

"Okay, okay, everyone, stop arguing." Xie Lan said, "It's better to let the government handle this matter. After all, human life is at stake, and we can't just jump to conclusions."

"No, absolutely not!" the old woman objected firmly, "I will never hand over my son's body to the government!"

"Why?" Xie Lan asked.

"Because... because I'm afraid that the government will destroy my son's body." The old woman stammered.

"Don't worry, the authorities won't destroy the body. They will only investigate the truth impartially." Xie Lan comforted.

"No, I don't believe it! I only believe my own eyes!" said the old woman stubbornly.

"So what do you want to do?" asked the young man in white.

"I want silver!" The old woman pointed at the innkeeper.

"Please make way, please make way. The police are coming." The waiter's voice came from outside!

The old woman looked at the thin man in the crowd and immediately jumped up and tried to run.
