“Master ……”
A dart master stumbled and ran into the main courtyard.
Hearing his panicked voice, Qi Wu’s heart thumped as he stood up and walked to the door to open it, “What’s wrong?”
“Senior, senior brother he, he, they ……”
Qi Wu’s heart sank.
“Where’s Rune?”
Madam Qi then came out of the house.
The dart master’s face was pale, “He, they were all, all killed.”
Madame Qi’s brain went weng and her body stumbled, hitting the door frame.
“What did you say?”
Qi Wu didn’t bother with him and sprinted to the open space in front of her, two boxes were placed side by side with the bodies of several people inside, Qi Run was at the top of the box on the left, his eyes wide.
Qi Wu’s eyes were wide with anger.
Lady Qi stumbled over, supported by Qi Ying, and with one glance, her body went limp and she fainted from the pain.
“Mother!”
“Master-mother!”
Qi Wu staggered over to the box and closed Qi Run’s eyes with a shaking hand, bean-sized teardrops falling on Qi Run’s face.
“Master, let’s fight them!”
“Yes, let’s fight them!”
“Go! Go! Go!”
The crowd of dart masters turned to get their weapons.
“Stand still!”
Qi Wu bent down and held Qi Run out, his face was now covered with suppressed killing intent, “Anyone who dares to leave this gate without my permission will not recognise me as a master!”
“Master!”
“Master!”
……
Qi Wu ignored their shouts and carried Qi Run back to the courtyard where he usually lived, put him on the bed, unbuttoned his clothes, took out the best golden sore medicine and poured it on his already dry wounds, got up again and opened the wardrobe, taking out a set of clothes for Qi Run to change into.
After all this, Qi Wu sat down on the edge of the bed, holding Qi Run’s cold hand tightly, his eyes filled with a mountain of raging killing intent.
……
An hour later, Qi Wu came out of the house and went to the main courtyard to see his wife.
Madame Qi was still awake, and Qi Ying was watching over her with red eyes.
Qi Wu shot out his hand and nudged Madame Qi’s sleeping points and said to Qi Ying, “I’m going out, don’t move your elder brother’s corpse.”
“Father ……”
Qi Ying wanted to say something, but Qi Wu had already turned around and headed out, “Don’t worry, father won’t act impulsively.”
When he got outside, he instructed the dart master to take the bodies of the two guards with him, went to the backyard and took the horses, left the dart board, came to the back door of the county office, and personally dismounted to knock on the door.
Without waiting for the person inside to ask, he said in a deep voice, “I am Qi Wu.”
The door was opened from the inside and Qi Wu walked in.
“Has the Third Prince slept yet?”
The guard who opened the door was just about to answer when he froze at the sight of the corpse carried by the two darters who followed him in.
“They’re dead.”
Qi Wu’s voice was cold, “Died with the men in my dartboard.”
The door-opening guard’s hand tightened slightly as he turned around, leading them inside.
The Third Prince was also waiting for news and had been awake, when he heard the report and came out to see the two corpses, his face was ugly as hell.
The guards he had brought with him were all first-class masters, and not even three or five ordinary people could get close to them, yet they had been killed with a single slash.
“My son is also dead ……”
The first time I saw the man, I was a father in vain! I came to tell you that if I was forced to work for you a few days ago, from today onwards I am willing to do whatever I am asked to do as long as I can destroy the Gu family’s people!”
The Third Prince’s face became slightly more pale and waved his hand for the guards to carry the corpses down, “Do you have any plans?”
“Yes!”
“Tell me!”
……
The following day, Boss Wei went over to the mansion and after telling Gu Yi and Song Wan Yue what had happened last night, he sat over there for a while before returning to the restaurant.
It was still early before noon, and there were no customers in the restaurant yet.
Every night, he would drink a pot of good wine, and the jar of good wine that the proprietor had bought at a great price was almost finished by him.
Thinking of this, he nimbly changed his clothes and went to Dr. Yao’s house.
Doctor Yao was packing his medicine chest and was going to give the Duke of Qi a needle.
“You’re late today.”
Dr. Yao was unimpressed, “He didn’t specify what time I should go. Besides, they might be furious after last night’s incident, so if I go there earlier, I’ll be in trouble?”
The smile on the corners of the shopkeeper Wei’s mouth fell.
“What’s that look on your face, our houses are next to each other, they come knocking at the door in the middle of the night, do you think I’m deaf and can’t hear them?”
Dr. Yao gave him a blank look and carried his medicine box to go out.
“You old thing!”
Boss Wei scolded with a laugh and followed him out to the kitchen, checking the dishes used today, before going to the front.
Half an hour later, there were customers coming in one after another, and the restaurant was bustling with activity. With the summer heat, the crowd had the greatest demand for herbal tea, and one after another asked the fellows to fill it up for them.
Four more people came in and went straight to sit in a corner of the lobby, “Man, order your food!”
The mate went over with the menu and the four ordered two meat and two vegetarian, two hot and two cold, eight dishes, “We have work to do later, no more wine, give us a few bowls of herbal tea.”
The servant passed the menu to the back, took four bowls, and brought four bowls of herbal tea over.
Soon after, the eight dishes were ready and brought up, several people were eating and chatting, one of them was talking and thumped his head on the table, the other three laughed at him, “I say, you didn’t drink today, why are you pretending to be drunk?”
“Just ……”
Another person echoed the words at the same time to push him, before pushing the person, he also hit his head on the table.
The other two were startled, “How do you get back to ……?”
The table was overturned and the plates and bowls on it fell to the floor with a crash.
“Tired of living ……”
The man whose table was smashed over opened his mouth just to curse three words and his eyes widened in shock, the crowd looked over with his gaze and saw dark blood flowing from the seven orifices of the two men lying on their backs on the floor.
“Dead man!”
Someone shouted in horror and the tavern was suddenly in a mess.
……
The four men were in such a terrible state that they couldn’t help but draw a breath of cold air and wave their hands to the coroner to investigate.
The pallbearer first examined the four men and then used a silver needle to check the food and said, “The food is poisoned.”
When his words came out, there were gasps and dry heaves from the people at the entrance of the restaurant, who had just eaten the food and did not know whether it was poisoned or not.
“Impossible! Our restaurant has been open for so many years and our customers have never even eaten a fly, how could it be poisoned?”
Shopkeeper Wei exclaimed.
Sheriff Zhang didn’t listen to his arguments and waved his big hand
“Seize the restaurant, no one is allowed to enter or leave, Boss Wei, you come with me!”
