Chapter 178 Nightmare
Yuan Mu listened to her voice out all the doubts in his heart, nodded, with a faint smile on his face: "Indeed, what you said is exactly the doubts in my heart, that's why I want to ask the cook to come out for a while.
See.
Maybe the taste of food can deceive people. Even if you can't deceive people now, if you practice for another year and a half, you might be able to deceive others, but you can't hide things like appearance. Is it really me, Dari?
The people of the dynasty can tell by looking at their faces.
However, this person did not dare to come out to meet us, which shows that our speculation is not completely unfounded."
"Sir, why don't you wait here while we two brothers go spy?" Yuan Yi asked quickly after hearing this.
Yuan Mu shook his head slightly: "Don't act rashly. There is a lot of mystery in that restaurant. The second floor is not open to casual customers. It is said that it is only used to entertain distinguished guests. Who the distinguished guests are is hard to say.
The food prices there are extremely high, and they are clearly trying to drive away customers. The waiters have an arrogant attitude, and they don't seem to be sincere in doing business. There are a few strong men standing at the door who look like thugs guarding the courtyard.
From this point of view, there must be another business here, and the restaurant is just a cover.
We don’t know who the big owner of the restaurant is, but faced with such sky-high prices for the dishes, some people still gritted their teeth and pretended to eat, sitting there for a long time and refusing to leave. They were obviously hoping to meet someone in the restaurant and be able to
Strike up a conversation with the other person.
From this point of view, the restaurant should be somewhat related to the foreign barbarians, but there were also people from the Darui Dynasty who were involved in it. What exactly they were doing was unknown. One thing is certain, in Yuyong County
Some people use the name of gods and ghosts to cause chaos. Ordinary people who kill pigs and sheep on their own will be intimidated, threatened, and even persecuted. But this food world can act in such a high-profile manner and say that there is no one behind it. Do you think it is credible?
How many percent?”
"Not even 10%." Yuan Yi understood.
"So what's the use of spying on that restaurant? We are everywhere in Yuyong County, and we are the eyes and ears of each other. People are in the dark and we are in the light. There is no benefit to you spying except to alert the snake.
"
"But if you want to use the name of a restaurant to hide the actual purpose of the place, it must at least be crowded with people. Wouldn't it make the place more eye-catching if it is so deserted and deserted?" Jiang Jin felt a little puzzled.
Mu Liuyun smiled and said, "Brother Jiang, you are really joking. Do you think that restaurant doesn't want to be crowded? First, their food prices are ridiculously high, and then the entire Yuyong County looks half-dead from top to bottom.
It seems that it would be difficult to find so many wealthy households who can afford the food prices in Shitianxia. Naturally, there is no way to make the place crowded, and only people with plans will go there to 'eat'. Naturally, it will be cold.
It’s deserted!”
"Originally I wanted to use the price as a threshold to prevent anyone from being able to get in. It would be too complicated to get in and out, but I didn't expect the threshold to be so high all of a sudden that not many people can get in. Is this self-defeating?" Jiang Jin felt envious.
Liu Yun made sense and followed her words and came to a conclusion.
Mu Liuyun waved his hand: "It's hard to say, but I think if Yuyong County was like this from the beginning, even if Shitianxia wanted to set a threshold through price, he wouldn't be stupid enough to order such a high price all at once.
On the menu we saw today, except for the ten dishes from the 'Famous Chef', the other dishes are also sky-high. However, if a wealthy family wants to save their face, they won't have to spend too much.
I got up, so I wouldn’t be like the people at the tables I saw today, who wanted to serve the two dishes in front of them.
I'm afraid that when Shitianxia just opened, although their prices were high, no one would be willing to go there to have a meal. As a result, after the opening, life in Yuyong County became harder and harder day by day, not to mention poverty.
Even the wealthy households in the county may have a tight life, and naturally fewer people can afford it."
"From this point of view, this big boss who dominates the world must have been tricked. There are more than one 'monster' who is pretending to be a ghost and causing trouble to the people in Yuyong County." Yuan Mu also agreed with Mu Liuyun's view.
"That's really a place where you can't alert the snake." Jiang Jin was a little surprised. Although he usually had to supervise taxation, this matter was basically taken over by Magistrate Yang, and he didn't need to intervene too much. As for household registration,
Although the part is boring, it is not particularly complicated. On weekdays
Except for hearing Mu Liuyun talk about some of the cases she handled, which made her feel a little frightened, basically everything around her was relatively simple. I followed Mu Liuyun and Yuan Mu on this trip and had just arrived in Yuyong County.
He had already felt the undercurrent surging in the deep water, which made him feel a little frightened.
Jiang Jin looked at Mu Liuyun, feeling a little unsure whether her success this time was a blessing or a curse.
According to his idea, since it is a taboo for a woman to disguise herself as a man, she should keep a low profile, find a safe job, take care of her job easily every morning, and go home peacefully in the afternoon. Anything that attracts attention will be the best.
It's better not to do it.
But Mu Liuyun just did the opposite, making him nervous every day. Now that he was called back to the Criminal Division, it was even worse! What should we do?
As Jiang Jin's friend for many years, Mu Liuyun could be said to be completely unaware of his worries at this moment. He kept talking to Yuan Mu about the errors and omissions in the files he saw today, and about going to the county the next day.
What should the government do?
On the contrary, it was Yuan Mu whose eyes, whether intentionally or unintentionally, swept over Jiang Jin's troubled face several times.
When he returned to his room to rest at night, Mu Liuyun followed Yuan Mu's instructions and repeatedly checked the doors and windows to make sure they were locked before he was ready to rest. It was the first time he stayed in an inn outside, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Feeling at ease, Mu Liuyun thought about it and felt that it was not advisable to take off all the bra wraps, so he just turned off the oil lamp, loosened his hair, loosened the bra wraps a little, and lay down in his middle coat to sleep.
When she was at home, Mu Liuyun was sleeping quite heavily. It was probably because it was the first time she had gone out so far away, she was in a completely unfamiliar environment, and she had so many strange encounters during the day, which made her
I couldn't relax, so I slept very lightly at night.
She didn't know how long she had been sleeping, but there was a snap outside the window, and she woke up instantly. She stood up and lifted the bed curtain to look at the window.
