As an official, what's wrong with raising a few monsters?

Chapter 60: Evil Restaurant
Second floor box,

Hearing the chaos downstairs, Xiao Xinyue frowned slightly and said to the maid, "Chun Ya, take care of it."

"Ah? Oh...Okay!"

Chunya nodded and quickly ran out the door.

……

Qi Daozi, who had his feet on the table, paused.

At this moment, a strange dream passed by before my eyes like a fleeting sight.

He was knocked down in the street by a group of angry people, and was beaten with sticks and fists.

There were too many people and he couldn't resist. The resentment that had accumulated over the years finally erupted at this moment.

He was beaten countless times, his whole body was in great pain, and his consciousness was fading.

In his dying moments, he seemed to sense something and looked to the side.

The pitch-black cat was lying in the middle of the street, its strange-colored eyes staring at him quietly.

"Snapped!"

"Brother, what are you doing?"

A clear slap sounded.

Qi Daozi came to his senses and was a little confused.

What happened to your kidney?

The younger brother beside him covered his face and looked at him with a wronged expression, like a bullied girl.

what happened?

What just happened?
Daydreaming?

The scene in front of him returned to the bustling tavern, and Qi Daozi was a little dazed.

But the memory of being beaten to death is particularly clear.

He shook his head and pulled himself together.

The current work is more important.

He raised his eyes to the cashier at the counter and said, "I don't want more, just give me 20 taels of silver."

"You don't want others to know that your food is not clean and tastes bad..."

I haven't finished speaking yet,
A short figure wearing a mask walked out from behind the counter.

The wooden mask covered her face, so her face couldn't be seen clearly.

But through the hole, one could see a pair of gray, lifeless eyes.

"Who are you, little brat?!"

"Let your family speak."

Somehow, Qi Daozi felt a little guilty when he saw the other person's eyes.

However, the only response he received was silence.

Xiudie walked towards him step by step, getting closer and closer. Qi Daozi pursed his lips unconsciously.

This shabby restaurant is really weird.

I just had that weird daydream, and now this strange kid comes along.

"say!"

"Hey, you little brat!"

Seeing Xiudie coming, Qi Daozi's companions couldn't help but raise their hands, wanting to slap her.

But at this moment,
"Whoosh!"

A figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

He kicked it out directly.

The strong adult man was kicked three steps away, knocking over several tables and chairs.

The woman was dressed in green. She retracted her feet, crossed her arms over her chest and looked at the thugs coldly. She no longer looked like the chattering girl next door.

In front of the princess, it is okay to call Chunya a maid or servant.

Once she was outside, in front of these thugs, what should these people call her?
"Ouch~"

"Hey, you little..."

Everything happened so fast, who knew someone would suddenly come up and start attacking!

The hot-blooded thugs then rolled up their sleeves, ready to curse and fight.

But at this moment,
"stop!"

Qi Daozi, the eldest brother, suddenly stood up and stopped his companions who were about to take action.

"My Lord... My Lord, I was blind and didn't know you were resting here. I hope you will forgive me. I hope you will forgive me."

He was arrogant at first but became respectful later. He was a domineering gangster just now, but in the blink of an eye he turned into a humble and obedient dog.

Qi Daozi's greatest strength is his ability to read cues.

Otherwise, he would have died long ago if he had been so arrogant and domineering at the foot of the capital.

Often, one can tell a person's status from their demeanor, actions, and so on. Chun Ya looked at him coldly and simply said, "Get lost!"

Qi Daozi pulled his companions and nodded hurriedly: "Let's get out of here, let's get out of here!"

As he spoke, he ran out in a panic.

Dramatic ending.

The diners all thought that the restaurant was going to be in trouble, but they didn't expect it to turn out like this.

Who is that woman?

People secretly observed Chunya and guessed her identity.

This restaurant is really unusual!
The young and mysterious shopkeeper also seemed to have a backer.

"you!"

Chunya raised her head and said to the dazed scholar on the podium, "Go on!"

"Uh...yes."

……

The woman in green ran back to the upstairs box, and the messed-up tables and chairs downstairs were put back in place.

The storyteller began to tell the story again, but his voice was trembling.

The diners lowered their heads and whispered to each other, and little by little, the sound gradually grew louder.

Gradually, it returned to its original noisy state.

It was as if nothing had happened.

Where no one cares,

"Grandpa, please take a look at the store."

The child touched the mask, looked at the gradually darkening sky outside the restaurant, and spoke to the empty place around him.

No one could see that an old man with white hair and a frail face was floating beside her.

Having been lonely for too long, he actually quite likes this lively place now.

Others might not like him so much though.

After Xiudie said this, she didn't care about the other party's response and ran out.

Guo Chongyun:?

"what?"

Guo Chongyun looked down at his ghostly form: "Me?"

……

night,
Across the street from Piaoxianglou, the gangster knocked on the door of a restaurant stealthily.

The shopkeeper opened the door and was shocked when he saw the visitor. He looked around and welcomed him in.

But he didn't seem to see it.

In the darkness, a pair of gray eyes watched everything happening quietly.

"How did you come?!"

The shopkeeper glared at Qi Daozi and said, "Didn't I tell you not to look for me at this time?"

Qi Daozi sat down on the chair carelessly: "When should I come to see you?"

The shopkeeper touched his nose and said, "How is the matter going?"

Qi Daozi shrugged: "No, it can't be done."

"Can't do it? Why?"

"Old Zheng, you'd better believe me, you can't afford to offend that restaurant."

What Qi Daozi trusts most in his life is his own vision and feeling.

First of all, the woman in green clothes is not an ordinary person, and secondly, the restaurant is a bit weird.

That strange child, that inexplicable daydream.

Even now, he still feels a little creepy.

No matter who he loves, he will never go to that restaurant again.

"Hmm? Can't afford to offend?"

Shopkeeper Zheng frowned tightly.

That’s right, it wasn’t Qi Daozi who went there to cause trouble himself, but the shopkeeper entrusted him to do so.

The reason is simple: competitors are enemies.

This is a simple business war.

Originally, the old restaurant was not very popular, so as a competitor in the same industry, there was naturally no competitive pressure.

But everything changed after the new manager took over.

The number of guests is about the same. If there are more of them over there, there will naturally be fewer of them over here.

Many of Manager Zheng's old customers have left, and if this continues, they will be on the verge of bankruptcy.
