Xie Zhi was infuriated by this. Without thinking, he said angrily, "Why wouldn't I dare?"
Anyway, I'm a monster. Even if there's poison in it, I won't be poisoned to death!
He took out a pair of chopsticks and stuffed two large pieces of stinky tofu into his mouth. He chewed hard a few times. His first reaction was, "Damn, it's really fragrant. It's not as smelly as it smells …"
Then he put down his chopsticks and looked at the people present coldly. "How is it?"
The people of the Embroidery Hall looked at him blankly and then began to whisper to each other. "He must have taken the antidote in advance. Hmm … It must be like this …"
"…"
"F * ck you!"
Xie Zhi took a deep breath. He really couldn't bear it anymore. But at this moment, the middle-aged man said softly, "Wait a minute, wait a minute … I think this brother doesn't hide his anger on the surface, so he must have something in his heart. He must have amazing skills, but there's a trace of loneliness in his cold face. Recently, his glabella has been a bit … uh, I mean …"
Daoist Bai Xue's occupational disease almost flared up, but he managed to keep his mouth shut. He sincerely said to Zhang Jianyuan, "Brother, I'm really sorry that something like this happened today. I'm afraid it'll hurt your business. If this continues, it'll only bring you more harm than good … In my opinion, we need to find out the truth of this matter, but you still have to continue operating the arena, so …"
"Good brother, compared to this business, your life is more important. No matter how many losses there are, it's nothing."
Zhang Jianyuan's words were impassioned. He held Taoist Bai Xue's wrist even more tightly. His eyes were full of an aura that said, "Don't think you can get away with it. After this matter is over, I'll settle accounts with you."
Then he looked up and said to Xie Zhi, "Brother, we're in public. Don't make a fool of yourself here. Let's find a place, find a doctor, sit together, and talk about this matter. If it doesn't work, we'll go to the government. What do you think?"
Xie Zhi's expression changed. Of course, this was good.
Now that he was in public, surrounded by people in all directions, even if he wanted to break out, he was restrained everywhere. If he could leave with these people and go to a secluded place with fewer people, it would be much more convenient whether it was to teach them a lesson or just leave … So he nodded, "Alright."
He looked at the middle-aged man coldly. "When the truth comes to light, see how I'll deal with you."
Zhang Jianyuan remained calm and collected. He reached out and beckoned his assistant, who was usually his right-hand man, over. "I'll go. You stay here and continue the event."
The deputy said awkwardly, "After this incident, who would dare to eat it?
Or … "
Zhang Jianyuan frowned, and the image of Swordsman Sun's smiling face suddenly appeared in his mind. If Swordsman Sun had encountered such a situation … he had an idea!
An idea flashed through his mind. He took a few steps forward, cupped his hands, and said in a distant voice, "Fellow villagers!
I'm very sorry that this has happened and made a joke of myself in front of everyone. But please rest assured. Even if a shameless villain stabs us in the dark, even if a Daoist priest with no asshole comes to make trouble, even if our competitors maliciously exclude us, our Embroidery Hall will never be defeated, and we will never retreat! "
"Although such an incident has happened, the food tasting event will not end here!
We still have to hold it … "Zhang Jianyuan glanced at the several contestants on the stage, who looked embarrassed, and the hesitant audience below the stage. He took a deep breath and said loudly," I know that everyone is uneasy, but it doesn't matter. Today's incident has sounded the alarm for us. From today onwards, Embroidery Hall will have one more rule!
Before each pot of stinky tofu is served to the guests, we will eat it first! "
He strode to a table, took out his chopsticks, and reached out to pick up a piece of stinky tofu from a jar on that table. He ate it in big bites, then the next table, and the next table … When the followers of Embroidery Hall saw this scene, their eyes were filled with tears. They shouted loudly, "Eat first!
Eat first! "
Their slogan was "Eat from the jar". The shills below the stage were very discerning. At the same time, they also shouted loudly, stirring up the enthusiasm of the audience. Then, earth-shattering cheers rang out. This atmosphere affected the contestants on the stage. Many of them hesitated for a moment, then sat down again and continued the competition.
Zhang Jianyuan looked at the heated atmosphere again and smiled slightly. He looked at the sky, and the smile of Hero Sun seemed to flash on the horizon. If this continues, I will become the elegant capitalist that you said.
He walked to the last table, and as usual, he wanted to take a piece of stinky tofu from the jar, but he found that it was empty. He raised his head in surprise, and the beautiful girl in yellow gave him a brilliant smile. "Boss, give me another jar!"
"… You are really shameless."
After a moment, Daoist White Snow sighed and said, "I don't know who taught you to be so shameless …"
Zhang Jianyuan helped him avoid the crowd and walked into a secluded alley. "I'm warning you, don't insult Hero Sun."
The Daoist priest snorted. "Hero Sun?
This is the person who taught you bad things?
That kind of person deserves to be called a hero?
Yesterday, I met a good person with the surname Sun. He has a graceful bearing and can be called a hero … Hmph, he has already promised me that he will do me a small favor. When the time comes … Hmph … "
Zhang Jianyuan also sneered. "I advise you not to seek your own death … Brother is still here. Is it really okay to say this in front of him?"
Xie Zhi, who was following behind the two and looking for a good opportunity to escape, frowned when he heard this. He vaguely felt that he had been fooled …
Daoist White Snow waved his hand. "Compared to this … What did you add to the bowl of stinky tofu that was originally for him, but I ate it?
Why is it so smelly?
But it doesn't smell like shit … "
Zhang Jianyuan said coldly, "You cow nose, you owe me a big favor … In order to put on this show, I took out half a can of herring that I treasured. I endured the pain and added some. If I knew that you would eat it so easily, I would have added shit directly. I always felt that even if I added shit, you would still be able to eat it."
"Yes, of course, I can eat it."
Daoist White Snow stopped, and Zhang Jianyuan also let go of his hand that was supporting him. The two men turned back with evil intentions and stared at Xie Zhi behind them. Xie Zhi was followed by four henchmen of Embroidery Hall who were very good at fighting. At this moment, they also blocked Xie Zhi's escape route. The Daoist priest said indifferently, "Subduing demons and demons without fear of death has always been the duty of Taoists. As long as we can subdue demons, what's the big deal about eating shit?"
When Xie Zhi heard this, no matter how stupid he was or how lucky he was, he knew that his whereabouts had been exposed. He looked at Daoist White Snow and Zhang Jianyuan with a ferocious expression. The smiles on the faces of these two despicable humans were actually very similar. He really wanted to beat them up … He recalled everything that had happened in the arena. It seemed to be the conspiracy of these two people …
However, he had just entered the city and came to the arena by chance. In other words, how did the two of them decide on a plan in such a short time, cooperate with each other, and set up such a trap?
He thought of the little flower demon. Was she just a bait?
It didn't seem like it.
He also thought of the messenger … Was the news leaked?
It didn't seem to be the case.
However, it was meaningless to think about these questions now … He just needed to catch them and interrogate them. Then, he would know where the news came from!
He looked ferocious, and a murderous look flashed in his eyes. He took a step forward and slowly raised his right hand.
Then, his expression changed drastically. He roared and covered his stomach, and a painful and ferocious look appeared in his eyes. Xie Zhi looked at Daoist White Snow and hissed, "That bowl of stinky tofu … There's something wrong with it!"
Daoist White Snow looked up to the sky and laughed loudly three times. He jumped three feet high and then cheekily clapped with Zhang Jianyuan to celebrate. His smile was very bright. "I may be the first Taoist to trick a demon to drink talisman water in front of everyone since the founding of my sect … This is enough for me to brag about for several years when I go back … Well, let's not talk about other things …"
He took out a large stack of talismans from his sleeve. "My friend, surrender."
