Chapter 2336: Chapter 2336: Nonsense
The smile on the shopkeeper’s face faded away, his small eyes menacingly glaring at the woman, saying, "If you keep spouting nonsense, don’t blame me for being rude."
The woman immediately exploded, taking on a shrew-like demeanor, placing the roughly two-year-old child on the ground, stepping forward a few steps, puffing her chest and hands on hips, "What? What? What do you want? Under the bright clear sky, after killing my husband, do you still want to kill me?"
The little kid, thrown to the ground, began wailing loudly, reaching his two small hands out towards the woman, crying and shouting, "Mother... hug!"
The woman, so angry that smoke almost billowed from her head, couldn’t care less, relentlessly pursuing the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper was so angry his chest hurt, "Shrew, truly a shrew."
The assistant even praised this plump woman as pretty, saying selling her to the Yihong Brothel could earn big money. Is he blind?
This woman is not only shrewish but also ugly. Sell her to the Yihong Brothel? What a joke, they wouldn’t want her even if you paid them Silver.
The shopkeeper cursed the woman in his mind a thousand times.
The scene was chaotic, cries and clamors merged into one.
Compared to their noise, the crowd watched with great interest.
"Move aside, move aside, why gather here?" Just then, a squad of government soldiers rushed in from the perimeter.
The crowd quickly made way.
Upon seeing them, the shopkeeper’s face changed dramatically, his body slowly moving, attempting to run back into the tavern to hide the evidence.
Among the crowd, a woman’s voice crisply shouted, "Officer Brother, the shopkeeper wants to go back and destroy the evidence. Quickly, catch him."
The arrest officer was also quick to respond, with a clang, he drew the sword from his waist and placed it against the man’s neck, "Shopkeeper, I advise you to be honest."
A coolness on his neck, the shopkeeper’s legs trembled, "Gov... Government Official Master... ha... have mercy."
Arrest Officer: "Shopkeeper, bear with us and wait here for a moment."
Then, he turned his head and spoke to the government officials behind him, "You all, go in and search for me."
"Yes."
After responding in unison, twenty or thirty government officials raced into the tavern.
Soon, they brought out the dishes and buns from the kitchen as well as the golden and enticing ribs.
Everyone was baffled, wasn’t the government office here to find evidence of the shopkeeper’s murder and cover-up? Why did they bring out food instead?
Everyone was puzzled and couldn’t understand.
The arrest officer picked up a bun from the steamer and loudly declared to the surrounding crowd, "We received a report earlier that this tavern has been surviving by selling human meat buns for a long time. The Great Master sent me over to ascertain the truth."
Then, he lifted the bun in his hand high, saying, "Now, I will tear it open in public to see what the filling inside is."
Upon hearing this, everyone murmured among themselves, "No way! How could the Spring Breeze Building do such a heinous thing? I frequented the Spring Breeze Building before, ate a lot of meat and buns, does that make me a skeletal spirit from the opera? Oh my, thinking about it is terrifying."
"Ugh!"
The person speaking began to feel nauseous, nearly vomiting.
Arrest Officer: "Everyone, calm down, just watch."
He said this as he exerted force with both hands, gently tearing open the bun, and a burst of meat fragrance immediately wafted out.
Everyone watched intently, as this concerned whether they had eaten human meat buns before.
The government officials carried out a small table from the tavern.
The arrest officer placed the torn bun on the table and carefully examined the filling inside.
The shopkeeper and several assistants watched the arrest officer nervously.
