Chapter 44 The Culprit Behind the Scenes

"Don't blame him, it's because we want to go to the private room to eat roast duck, but the private room is slow, and the roast duck is gone, so my friend is a little angry, and the shot is a little harder!"

Xiao Chao explained.

He had just finished speaking when Shopkeeper Li parted from the crowd and came over.

"You are really blind, can't you see Master Xiao is here?"

Shopkeeper Li reprimanded the young man, and then said: "Master Xiao, how can you go to the private room when you come? Go to the third floor. There is room for the VIP room on the third floor. You can order whatever you want. I will treat you to this meal." .”

Shopkeeper Li smiled all over his face as if he saw the God of Wealth, and then said to the boy, "Go to the back and tell Chef Wang to cut up the roast duck that he prepared for me and serve it to Master Xiao." past!"

Zhang Jing, Zhang Yuan, and Xiao Tianzuo looked dumbfounded.

In front of them, there was no private room or roast duck in Juxian Building; but in front of Xiao Chao, shopkeeper Li came out to entertain them in person, and even gave up the roast duck he ate, and even invited them to the VIP room. VIP room, this is the treatment that the Xiao family lives in!

Especially Xiao Tianzuo's face was red and white for a while.

Before, he thought Xiao Chao was a bumpkin, and he was going to lose face to him in Juxian Tower, but now the situation is completely reversed, Xiao Chao has more face than him, and he will be ashamed.

"Wait, it's our fault, we hit this guy!"

Xiao Chaoyou reached out his hand to stop the boy, touched his bosom, and escaped directly with a tael of silver, ready to hand it over to the boy.

"Xiao Chao, wait!" Zhang Jing suddenly reached out her hand to stop Xiao Chao, then looked at Xiao Tianzuo, and said, "Xiao Tianzuo is the one who hit the person, and Xiao Tianzuo is here to accompany the compensation!"

"That's right, Xiao Tianzuo, this little guy is just telling the truth, you beat someone too much!"

Zhang Yuan also frowned.

Xiao Tianzuo was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood, but Zhang Jing had already spoken, so he had to be more magnanimous.

"What, I just came back from the cloud forest. I'm tired and hungry, and I'm very angry. Boy, take this tael of silver back and buy something to make up for it!"

Xiao Tianzuo showed a smile uglier than crying, and forced a tael of silver into the boy's hand.

"This... this..., how dare I ask for your money!"

The boy panicked too.

Just now his bodyguards can be said, but the one who beat him was a warrior.

Not to mention fighting, even if the martial artist killed him, it would be for nothing, and now he is still paying him money, which is simply unimaginable.

"Tell you to take it and take it!"

If Zhang Jing wasn't here, Xiao Tianzuo would definitely have killed this guy.

"Yes Yes!"

Feeling the murderous intent, the little guy shivered in fright, and quickly took the money.

"Thank you, sir!"

The boy thanked him, then looked at Xiao Chao sincerely, and said, "Thank you, Lord Xiao."

Afterwards, the boy hurried down to find Chef Wang.

"Zhang Jing, the three of you go up first, I have something to do with Shopkeeper Li!"

Seeing that the episode was resolved, Xiao Chao said to Zhang Jing again.

"Well, we are waiting for you, come quickly!"

Zhang Jing nodded, and the three of them were greeted by another employee to the VIP room on the third floor.

"Master Xiao, what do you want from me?"

Watching the three of them go up, shopkeeper Li looked at Xiao Chao.

"Let's talk in the back kitchen!"

While talking, Xiao Chao had already walked towards the backyard.

"Master Xiao, why are you here?"

In the backyard, Zhang Qiang quickly put down the plate of peanuts in his hand and greeted him.

"This guy is quite suspicious!"

Xiao Chao glanced at Zhang Qiang, then walked into the yard, looking at the cook who was busy in the kitchen with a very gloomy expression.

Zhang Qiang put a cold face on his butt, feeling a little innocent, he looked at Shopkeeper Li again, blinked his eyes, and wanted to find out the situation, but he didn't want Shopkeeper Li to shake his head too, expressing that he was not clear.

Xiao Chao stood in the yard and searched for it, only to find that Xiaocao was not there.

"Why didn't Xiaocao learn how to cook in Juxian Building? Could it be that she poisoned me?"

Xiao Chao felt chilled for a while.

Xiao Chao treats Xiaocao very well, and even sits at the same table for meals on weekdays.

However, Xiao Chao spent a few days with Xiaocao, and still did not believe that Xiaocao would do such a thing, and the most doubtful thing was Juxian Tower.

"Master Xiao, what happened?"

Shopkeeper Li, who runs a restaurant, is the best at observing words and expressions, and has already sensed that something is wrong with Xiao Chao's expression.

"What's up!"

Xiao Chao snorted coldly, and released a faint murderous intent.

"I ate the food made by your Juxian Building and got poisoned. What do you think is going on?"

Xiao Chao's voice was so loud that the guys and cooks in the backyard could hear it.

At the same time, Xiao Chao also observed the expressions of everyone.

"Poisoned?"

Shopkeeper Li's face suddenly turned pale, and now he finally understood why Xiao Chao's expression was so gloomy.

"Master Xiao, I am wronged, really wronged. I have no grievances or enmity with you, but I have made a lot of money by relying on you. I am a businessman, how can I get along with the money and harm you!"

Shopkeeper Li hurriedly complained.

The boys in the backyard, a dozen bodyguards and chefs also shook their heads.

Xiao Chao looked at the expressions of everyone, and said in a deep voice: "The day before yesterday, the few big cakes that Xiaocao brought back, who made them for me?"

Everyone listened, and looked at a fat man at the same time. This fat man was Chef Li, the pastry chef of Juxian Building, and he made most of the pasta.

Xiao Chao also looked at Cook Li with cold eyes.

When Xiao Chao came in, this cook Li hid behind the crowd intentionally or unintentionally, very suspicious.

Sure enough, after Xiao Chao looked at Cook Li, Cook Li yelled and fell to his knees.

"Master Xiao, please forgive me, Master Xiao. I was forced too. It was Master Zhang Rui, who forced me to poison you!"

Chef Li begged for mercy loudly.

He was just a cook, but he didn't have a strong psychological quality. He was frightened by Xiao Chao, and immediately shook Zhang Rui out, begging for mercy.

"It turned out to be Zhang Rui, just because I didn't sell Xiaocao to you, you actually wanted to poison me!"

Xiao Chao shot a cold light in his eyes, then snorted coldly, a cold light flashed in his hand, and a sword pierced Li Chef's heart.

"I don't care what your reasons are, as long as you want to harm me, you have to die!"

Xiao Chao kicked Cook Li's body to the ground, and blood spurted out from Cook Li's heart immediately.

After wiping the new sword clean with Cook Li's clothes, Xiao Chao turned to shopkeeper Li and said, "Treasurer Li, take care of this corpse for me!"

Saying that, Xiao Chao ignored the stunned crowd, turned around and left.

"No problem, this cook Li actually dared to harm Master Xiao, he is the one who courted death!"

Shopkeeper Li was the first to react and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

After watching Xiao Chao leave, he quickly ordered a few bodyguards to carry Cook Li's body out and wash away the blood on the ground.
