The last words sound simple.

But in fact, there are many problems.

For example, who wanted to assassinate Taifu Wen, and who used a fake corpse to pretend to be Taifu Wen's body, and what was its purpose?

Also, since Taifu Wen is still alive, why doesn’t he return to Beijing?

Chu Zhaoci's head was filled with questions.

He wanted to ask Taifu each question one by one.

But before he could speak...

Shao Jingheng, who had been standing at the door without saying a word, suddenly asked, "The Imperial Master has not returned to Beijing for so many years, but does he have anything to do with these officers and soldiers?"

It seemed that Mrs. Wen just noticed that there was someone at the door.

He subconsciously glanced in Shao Jingheng's direction.

The same feeling as when Shao Jingheng saw him, Taifu Wen also felt that he had seen Shao Jingheng somewhere before!

He thought for a moment, but didn't remember.

Chu Zhaoci's voice came to his ears, "Teacher has not returned to Kyoto for so many years. Isn't it because he doesn't want to go back, but because he can't go back?"

Chu Zhaoci's guess was correct.

Taifu Wen was very lucky. He was not thrown to death after falling off the cliff, but fell into the river below the cliff.

He rushed along the river to a nearby village.

When he woke up, he was by the river.

Originally, this place was actually not far from Kyoto City. Although it was separated by a mountain, if we went around the mountain, it would only be a few hundred miles away.

He wanted to go back.

But just as he was about to get up from the ground, he was hit on the back with a wooden stick, and he fainted immediately.

When he woke up again, it was several days later.

He arrived in Heshui County and woke up in a relatively simply decorated house with no one around.

He came out of the house and wanted to see where this was?

As a result, when I walked out of the house, I realized that I was in a private room on the second floor of my restaurant.

There happened to be a boy standing outside the house. Seeing that he was awake, the boy hurried over to greet him, "You finally woke up."

Mr. Wen didn't know it was Heshui County at that time.

He looked at the boy and asked, "Where am I?"

The waiter looked back at him doubtfully and replied, "This is Wenxiang Restaurant. What's wrong with you, the shopkeeper? Don't you remember?"

Mr. Wen was immediately stunned.

It's not like he knew he was in Heshui County after hearing about Wenxiang Restaurant.

Mainly what did he call him?

From the shopkeeper?

When did his majestic Grand Tutor open the restaurant?

Seeing that he didn't respond, the boy wondered if he had been injured and damaged his head, so he helped him go back to rest first.

Then, I'm going to ask a doctor for him.

But if it is an ordinary situation, if the boy goes to ask the shopkeeper for a doctor, then it is just a matter of saying hello to other work, right?

But this boy called at the door and asked him to look after the shopkeeper.

Then he went to see the doctor.

At first, Taifu Wen just thought that the boy might have mistaken himself for the wrong person and thought he was the shopkeeper of their family.

He followed the boy who came in behind and said, "I am not your shopkeeper. You have mistaken me."

After that, he was leaving.

But as soon as he walked out of the private room, there were three or five big men standing at the door of the private room.

The big men didn't want to do anything to Mr. Wen, but their purpose was obvious: Mr. Wen couldn't leave here casually.

Only then did Mr. Wen realize that something was wrong.

Judging from his many years of official experience, this is probably a trap.

The boy who said he was going to ask a doctor for him soon came back with a middle-aged man, and the man walked in with a medicine box in his hand.

After he entered the private room, everyone else in the private room left.

Mr. Wen clearly sensed something was wrong.

But he kept silent and pretended not to know anything.

Seeing that he was quite sensible, the middle-aged man in a suit checked his pulse and said in a fake tone, "Shopkeeper Shen hurt his head."

"I guess you can't remember some of the previous memories, right?"

When he said this, his sharp eyes were fixed on Mr. Wen, as if he meant to kill you immediately if you don't cooperate.

Taifu Wen has been an official for many years and knows how to survive.

He didn't say anything, just listened silently as he continued to speak.

Seeing that he was silent, the man continued, but this time his voice was very low, "If you want to live, Taifu, don't do anything."

After saying that, he picked up the medicine box and left.

From then on, this man came to check Taifu Wen's pulse every month, and he always said the same thing, don't do anything.

Mr. Wen never spoke.

The main reason is that even if he wants to do something, he can't do it at all.

Because every time he goes out, there will be many big men following behind him, as well as that boy. He is a civil servant who can only do civil work but not military...

Just look for opportunities.

During this period, it was not that he never found opportunities, but he failed every time.

It's not that it was discovered, it's that all kinds of hardware don't work.

For example, he wants to send a carrier pigeon, but where can he buy a carrier pigeon that can fly to Kyoto accurately?

Every time he went out, there would be many people following him. Even if he knew where there were homing pigeons, he would have no way to buy them.

Until those few months ago.

This group of soldiers came to Wenxiang Restaurant to eat.

The middle-aged man who had been diagnosing his pulse before was also among them. He told Mr. Wen to pack his things and follow them.

He was brought here inexplicably.

After he was brought here, the soldiers didn't let him do anything. They only asked him to herd sheep and feed rabbits and other poultry.

Then there is cooking for them.

After that, Li Hu and others arrived.

Having been forced to work as a restaurant manager for so many years, Mrs. Wen's cooking skills have been inadvertently developed and he has become very delicious.

The meals he cooked for the soldiers were quite popular.

Li Hu and others think he is good at cooking.

…

When Mr. Wen said this, he smiled and joked, "I'll make you a dish later, you can try it."

“Guaranteed to taste better than before.”

Shao Jingheng may not understand why he heard this.

But listening to Chu Zhaoci's ears, his thoughts were once again drawn back to his childhood, when Taifu Wen once cooked for him.

As a result, Mrs. Wen's cooking skills were simply inferior, and the meals he produced were unparalleled dark cuisine.

Chu Zhaoci has been relatively sensible since he was a child.

I thought this was the master's kindness, so I ate the dark food. As a result, I had a stomachache for half a month and almost didn't burp!

Thinking of this, Chu Zhaoci looked a little embarrassed.

He actually... doesn't really want to taste it!

He quickly changed the subject, "Master, do you know why they imprisoned you here and the poison in your body..."

Speaking of poison, Chu Zhaoci's eyes flashed with confusion.

He paused slightly before continuing, "What happened to you being poisoned?"
To be continued...
