Luo Fengtang remained silent for a while, then stepped aside.

Yang Ruqing said to the elderly accountant, "Our tofu is supplied exclusively to your restaurant. It's mutually beneficial for both parties."

“We are all tied together like grasshoppers on a string. Now that Tofu has gotten into trouble, my father has been thrown in jail. I need to see your master!” she said.

The old man sighed: "I can't find it!"

>After the incident last night, our master and Head Chef Zhou were arrested.

"Qinger, let's go visit San Shu directly at the prison. Let's see how he is doing in there and also ask Zhou Dahu about what happened!"

Outside the restaurant, Luofengtang consulted Yang Ruqing's opinion.

Yang Ruqing shook her head instead.

"Visits aren't as easy as just saying you want to see someone." she said.

She came in a hurry last night and forgot to bring her household registration.

Without a household registration and village head, the written proof they had could not prove their parent-child relationship with Yang Huazhong.

The jail won't let you out.

Moreover, this is not like catching a common thug.

...but it involved food poisoning, and the diner was still the county magistrate.

As the prisoners were personally ordered to be captured by the county magistrate, the jailer dared not easily allow anyone to visit them.

It's a waste of time even if we go.

"Tang YaZi, I'm afraid we'll have to stay in the county for a few days."

Having cleared her head, she looked up at him.

“Let's find a cheap inn to stay at first.” she said.

Luo Fengtang nodded, “I know there’s a ‘Dragon and Phoenix Inn’ ahead. Let’s stay there!”

He went to listen with the shopkeeper.

The inn's guest rooms come in two types.

One type is an independent guest room, furnished with a large bed and essential furniture such as a desk, chairs, and washbasin.

It's about the same as a modern hotel room.

There is another economical option, which is a large patio in the backyard.

The large room was already occupied by several men, speaking with a foreign accent.

As soon as you step to the door, you can smell a pungent odor of sweat inside.

“That’s it.” Yang Ruqing said.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

The rooms at the front cost forty or fifty coins per night, not including meals and tea.

It's cheap here, only five wen per person per night.

As for those outsiders, she didn't even bother looking at them.

In her past life, she was a spy. Don't even mention open-air operations, she's been through the city sewers.

>

Luo Fengtang frowned: "Mixing men and women is inconvenient, let's go to the front yard!"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Without a word, he pulled her around and walked away.

“It’s too expensive up front, I need to save the money to make some connections!” she said.

Luofeng Tang said, "Keep your share and don't touch it. As for food and lodging, leave it to me!"

He asked the innkeeper for two guest rooms, but Yang Ruoqing stopped him.

“Just one room then, we can squeeze in together!” she said.

His money was hard-earned.

He was surprised, glancing at her: "Just one room, it's not really…"

"Out in the open, there are fewer things to worry about," she cut him off directly.

He nodded.

It's fine, Qinger can sleep in bed. He can just find two stools and make do!

The two returned to their room, and the waiter brought over hot tea and hot water.

Luo Fengtang closed the door and put a piece of cloth in the basin of hot water, wringing it a few times.

>

He walked to the bedside and handed her the steaming towel.

"Slap your face." he said.

"OK."

She took the handkerchief and wiped her face and hands casually.

>

He used the water she had washed her face with to haphazardly wipe his own face.

Hearing her say from behind, "I still need to go ask the people at the inn about what happened at last night's banquet."

“As for poisoning the food, I’ve given it some thought, and the culprit can be narrowed down to two possibilities.”

She was there lost in thought.

"Or, it was done by the competitors of Juwei Xuan. After all, rivals are enemies."

"Either that, or it was made by a waiter at Ju Wei Xuan."

“Because I had a past grievance with Manager Jin or Uncle Zhou, I held a grudge in my heart and took the opportunity to seek revenge on the restaurant!”

“No matter what kind it is, go find out the situation!”

Only after understanding the cause and effect can one have a direction to run in.

It's not like it is now, being a headless fly, with blurry vision.

Upon hearing her words, Luofeng Tang turned around.

"I'll take care of getting information. You stay here at the inn and rest."

Yang Ruqing said, "You're not familiar with the county town either, are you? I'll go with you. More people mean more ideas."

He smiled and shook his head. "I have a friend in the county, who has connections with all sorts of people."

"He has a lot of information, I'll go find him first. If he can help us, that would be even better." he said.

>

Yang Ruqing was surprised.

In her memory, Luofeng Tang always kept to herself in the village.

You're more likely to encounter wild animals in the mountains than people.

I didn't expect him to have such friends in the county town?

As if seeing her confusion, he scratched his head: "My friend also likes hunting. One time he went hunting in Sleeping Ox Mountain, and that's how we met."

Yang Ruqing nodded.

>It turns out we have a lot in common.

"Alright, then go on. I'll be waiting for your news here!" she said.

He nodded, and before leaving, he brought the bowl of hot tea from the table to her hand.

"Have some hot tea, and if you get tired, just lie down in bed for a while. I'll be back as soon as I can." he said.

“Well, be careful on your way!” she cautioned.

He smiled slightly, rubbed her hair, and turned to quickly leave the guest room.

Yang Ruqing's fingers traced the patterns on the teacup.

Her brows furrowed slightly, her eyes thoughtfully.

She just analyzed two situations with Luofengtang.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Actually, she had a third guess.

She thought this third guess was unlikely.

If it's someone from the restaurant itself.

This is our own person, not a clerk or a laborer.

Instead, they are more like Zhou Dachu and Song Cai Ban, whose fortunes and interests are inextricably linked to the restaurant. They are trusted confidantes.

But, if it were truly the third kind.

Then this person is truly narrow-minded and incredibly foolish!

Time passes little by little.

When she was getting a little restless, hurried footsteps finally came down the corridor outside the inn.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

She heard that one footstep was from Luo Fengtang.

Come over here and open the door quickly. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Luo Fengtang was back, and behind him walked a man about the same age and height as Fifth Uncle Yang Huazhou.

>

The man had a scar on his face, which made him look somewhat fierce.

But those eyes were very sharp.

He looks like the kind of person who is involved in both black and white (good and bad) worlds.

Under the introduction of Luofeng Tang, both parties have met each other.

"Brother Xu, please come in and talk."

Yang Ruqing turned her body to the side, allowing Luofeng Tang and Xumang to enter the room.

After closing the door, he turned back into the room. Luofengtang had already poured a cup of tea for Xumang.

Xu Mang took a sip, wiped his mouth, and got straight to the point: "Miss Qing'er's family matters, Feng Tang just told me about it on the way here."

Please note that the original content was empty. The translation also remains empty because there was nothing to translate.

Yang Ruoqing nodded lightly.

“My father was wrongly imprisoned. This month of winter, we came all the way to the county town because of this.” She said.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?
