"I calculated that you will be very unlucky today."

Putting down the teacup, Lu Zhaoling said leisurely.

"How dare you splash me, you little bitch?!"

Master Liu San was stunned by the splash. The tea was actually a little hot and his face was red. However, he was very drunk and his sense of pain was numb. He felt embarrassed and flew into a rage. He slammed the table and stood up.

He reached out and was about to grab Lu Zhaoling by the collar.

"presumptuous!"

Qingbao had been staring at him, and when he saw his movement, he immediately grabbed his wrist and twisted it violently.

With a snap, Master Liu San let out a scream.

"what!"

Hu Xiaoxing was so frightened that her face turned pale. She quickly stood up and stepped back a few steps. She shouted in a trembling voice, "What are you doing? He is the third master of the Liu family. Why don't you let him go?"

So Hu Xiaoxing is so courageous?

Lu Zhaoling still sat there without moving.

She looked at Hu Xiaoxing, "The third master of the Liu family, is he so great?"

"Even the Empress Dowager has praised the Liu family's lanterns! Even the princesses and dukes scramble to buy the Liu family's lanterns on the 15th day of the first lunar month and the 15th day of the eighth lunar month every year. The Liu family is very prestigious and influential in front of the dignitaries in the capital!"

Hu Xiaoxing became more and more confident as she spoke.

Yes, she was right.

She quickly rushed to Master Liu San again, held his other arm, and stared at Qingbao.

"Did you hear what I said? Let go!"

Qingbao was so angry that he laughed.

"Hu Xiaoxing, do you feel like you've climbed the ladder?"

As she spoke, she twisted it even harder, causing Master Liu San to scream in pain.

"I know Miss Lu is betrothed to Prince Jin," Hu Xiaoxing yelled nervously, "but Prince Jin certainly doesn't like a woman who stirs up trouble everywhere!"

Qingbao sneered. What does it have to do with this ignorant idiot whether the prince likes the young lady or not?

She didn't want Master Liu San to get too close to the young lady as the smell of alcohol was suffocating.

"Miss, can I throw him away a little?"

"Okay." Lu Zhaoling nodded.

Qing Bao immediately struck Master Liu San on the back of the neck without mercy, knocking him unconscious, then pulled him up and threw him into a corner.

"Ahhhh!" Hu Xiaoxing was so scared that she covered her head and screamed.

"Shut up!"

Qingbao knocked her unconscious and threw her aside as well.

The waiter who just came to deliver the food: ???

What should I do? Should he call or leave?

Qing Bao came over quickly, took his tray, and consoled him, "Don't be afraid, waiter. They are just making trouble. Someone will deal with it later. It won't affect your restaurant. You don't have to worry about it."

The waiter had worked in the restaurant for three years. In the capital, there were many powerful people and troublemakers, so he had seen a lot of ups and downs. Seeing that Lu Zhaoling was still sitting there as steady as a rock without any panic on her face, he calmed down.

"There are still some dishes. I will bring them right over. Please enjoy your meal."

He took the tray and didn't bother to look at the two pieces in the corner. He hurried out and went downstairs. In the middle of the stairs, he met another waiter who was holding a brocade box.

"Is this the master's thing?" The second brother quickly stopped his companion.

"Yes, it's in Room B upstairs."

"Don't go up yet. Leave the things with the shopkeeper first." The waiter pulled him downstairs.

"Ah? Why? The guests are waiting..."

"I'll tell you when you come down!"

Master Liu San fainted in the corner. Why do you think so?

"Qingbao, let's sit down and eat together. Save some food for Qingyin."

Lu Zhaoling picked up the rice and chopsticks and started eating without any change in his mood.

When you’re hungry, eating is the most important thing.

The food in this restaurant was surprisingly delicious, with just the right amount of saltiness and fragrance, the vegetables were tender and the meat was fresh, just what she liked.

The waiter quickly brought up two more dishes.

Qingyin is back.

"Miss, I've seen Lord Lin. He and his men will be here soon." Qingyin went to deliver the message and came back immediately. Lin Rong had to get ready and bring his men over.

"Okay, let's eat quickly then."

"Yes."

Qingyin also sat down.

She and Qingbao ate quickly, knowing that someone would be arriving soon.

Lu Zhaoling ate quite fast, and when she had just finished eating, Lord Lin arrived.

As soon as he saw Master Liu San, he immediately ordered his men to carry the man up.

"Master Lin, have you had lunch yet?" Lu Zhaoling greeted him. "I'm so sorry to ask you to go on a business trip at this time."

Lin Rong was ashamed.

"Miss Lu, thank you for your kindness. We have been looking for Liu San since the day before yesterday. Now that Miss Lu has helped us, I should thank you."

Lu Zhaoling was a little puzzled. "He was just hanging around the restaurant like this, and you couldn't find him?"

Are the officers so bad at finding people nowadays?

"The eldest and second sons of the Liu family are very protective of the third son. They have created a lot of problems for us in the past two days. I am not afraid of being laughed at by Miss Lu Er. Because Lin has just taken office, he has not yet fully mastered the personnel and some rules. There are indeed some obstacles in the mission, but this case will definitely be handled well."

Lu Zhaoling looked at Lin Rong's face and understood.

"From Lord Lin's face, I think he has been bitten by bad guys in the past few days. Would you like to buy a talisman to protect him?"

Lin Rong was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"purchase."

There is such a talisman? Then he really doesn't need to hesitate at all!

He was parachuted into the Dali Temple, so naturally there were some people who were jealous of him behind his back, and these people often tried to block his assignments in both open and covert ways.

Although he felt that he could handle it if he spent more time and paid more attention, after seeing Lu Zhaoling's abilities, he would be a fool to refuse such a good thing.

"Fifty taels each. I don't have any on me right now, I'll have someone send it to you later."

"Thank you."

"Then I'll leave Liu San to Lord Lin. He didn't kill anyone directly, but Mo Qingqing's death was causally related to him. Lord Lin still needs to investigate the real culprit."

Lin Rong was secretly shocked.

"Did Miss Lu calculate it, or do you have evidence?"

"There is no evidence." Lu Zhaoling said.

That's what you can see.

Lin Rong believed her, but it was up to him to find the evidence.

"What about this girl?"

"She is Liu San's confidant, but her jade hairpin may be a relic of Mo Qingqing."

Hu Xiaoxing had nothing to do with the deaths of those women, but she was so close to Master Liu San, so an interrogation was inevitable. Maybe she could know some clues.

"Take them all away."

Lin Rong came and went in a hurry.

As soon as they left, Qingbao asked the waiter to come up and clear the dishes and replace the pot of tea.

As soon as the tea was brewed, Gu Qing came with her cousin.

Lu Zhaoling originally thought that he would bring his family over, but unexpectedly he came alone.

She understood after thinking about it. She thought that Uncle Gu probably didn't believe in her ability yet, so he had to come and see for himself first. After all, there was still a house to sell.

As soon as she saw Uncle Gu, Lu Zhaoling stopped drinking tea.
