The attendant only nodded slightly, because he knew that this old man with a scar on his face was not lying to him.

Although he only had one hand under the other's control, the Jing and Mai of his arm were completely under the control of the old man in front of him. As long as he made any movement, his heart would collapse before he could do anything.

Qin Rufeng looked at the servant in front of him who was still rather obedient, and continued to ask: "I'll ask you a few questions, and after you're done, I'll let you go, and give you ten times the amount of gold on the table. After that, you can leave. With your talent and cultivation level, the gold I gave you is more than enough for you to live for a lifetime. There is no need to continue to work so hard here. "

Qin Rufeng gave a attractive condition.

As expected, a glimmer flashed in the depths of the attendant's eyes. Clearly, he was tempted.

Qin Rufeng had just noticed something strange in the restaurant. There wasn't the slightest bit of difference between the usual behavior of the restaurant and the past. It was precisely because this situation was exactly the same as usual that he was alerted.

First, let's talk about the atmosphere in the restaurant. Every guest was quietly sitting at their table, drinking. Occasionally, a few people would whisper to each other, but they would not dare to make a ruckus. This was one of the rules of the Southern Courtyard's restaurant; those who drank wine were not allowed to make a ruckus, otherwise they would be blacklisted.

However, the matter of tasting wine was a joyous and even exciting affair for a alcoholic. However, the eyes of the person sitting at the table were filled with loathing towards the wine in front of him.

Even if they didn't want to cause a ruckus, some of the drinkers would still happily shout out 'liquor' after they finished drinking it. However, the people sitting in the restaurant right now were indeed indifferent to the matter of the liquor and did not have any passion to speak of. He would even deliberately slow down the speed at which he called for more wine.

May I ask why the drinkers are so disgusted by the wine, and even deliberately rub their hands together for a while?

In addition, in this entire first floor, not a single person was able to display any signs of drunkenness, and not even a single person appeared while drinking. It was clear that they had evaporated the wine they had drunk with their profound energy, which was also the reason why Qin Rufeng felt that the aroma of the wine was unusual in today's restaurant.

Since you are here to taste the wine, why do you need to use mystical Qi to evaporate the wine?

Moreover, the wine waiter and the guest were not unfamiliar with each other. Even though their faces were full of flattery, the actions of their hands were not something that a professional wine waiter could do. Even their rude actions would not anger the customer.

In addition to the fact that the steward at the counter had changed, the one that had alarmed him the most was actually the steward at the counter who had taken the money.

It would have been fine if the other waiters, Qin Rufeng, were unfamiliar with this place. The Southern Courtyard's restaurant would send a batch of waiters every five days, and in addition, he had only been in the restaurant for a few days. The waiters he knew did not come to work, so it was understandable that the waiters in the restaurant now felt a sense of shame for him.

But no matter how many people there were in the restaurant, the butler at the counter would always be the middle-aged man he had seen at the city gate. He would never be anyone else.

As long as the butler was not present, the Southern Courtyard's restaurant would be closed without exception. This secret had been personally told to him by Nan Zian. Even in the entire restaurant, there were only three people who knew of this secret, including Qin Rufeng. They were Nan Zian, the butler, and himself.

At this moment, the various anomalies within the restaurant indicated that something had happened at the Southern Courtyard. It could even be said that something had happened to Nanke.

Qin Rufeng had yet to find out what kind of background other than the young master who liked Zhang Ji's medicinal plants, could make her a woman in this fish and dragon mixed spirit county, and even go up against Zhang Ji's medicinal plants.

However, he wouldn't ask these questions to the attendant in front of him because he knew that the attendant would only be an outer member. He could even be said to be working with money. He only needed to ask what he knew.

Thus, Qin Rufeng reached into his clothes and pretended to take out gold coins. In reality, he was using his clothes as a cover to take out a bag of gold coins from his bracelet and putting it into the servant's pocket.

Then he asked indifferently, "This restaurant was secretly controlled by someone?" When did this happen? Where did all the people in the restaurant go? "

The servant felt that his empty pockets had suddenly become heavier by more than a little, and the light in his eyes became even brighter. He then looked at Qin Rufeng as if he was allowing his master to pick at him, but after looking around, his eyes seemed to have seen something that he was afraid of, and he could only lower his head resentfully.

Qin Rufeng could not help but smile and say: "If I say the answer, you just nod and shake your head!"

The attendant hurriedly moved the wine bowl a bit with his other hand, seizing the opportunity to dip his finger in the bowl and write, "Ok."

When Qin Rufeng saw the servant's appearance, he couldn't help but shiver in his heart. He knew that there was an expert amongst the fake wine guests; otherwise, the servant wouldn't dare to remain silent.

Qin Rufeng lowered his head and continued to taste the Hundred Year Southern Wine in his bowl. Then, he raised his head and loudly said, "This wine must have been soaked in medicinal herbs yesterday. Why is it so tasteless compared to when I drank it in the farmhouse's small courtyard?"

He suddenly spoke out loud, attracting the gazes of the surrounding people to gather on him. The attendant was stunned for a moment, but as soon as he saw Qin Rufeng's hidden gaze, he immediately understood what he meant.

He hastily apologized in panic, "What are you trying to say, sir? Our family's wine was just brought up from the well the day before yesterday. Even if you soaked in medicinal herbs, you are still much better than the ones in the farmhouse, right?"

Qin Rufeng immediately understood what he meant.

What he meant by that was that the wine represented the restaurant. Yesterday was the time the restaurant had an accident, while the medicinal plants represented the medicinal plants of Zhang Ji. In total, the restaurant was controlled by Zhang Ji's medicinal ingredients yesterday.

As for the small farmyard in the second half of the sentence, it was naturally the courtyard where the guide lived in silence. The meaning of this was that the people in the restaurant were originally all staying in the courtyard belonging to Nanke.

Soon after, the waiter said that the wine was from our restaurant. The meaning of the wine that was just carried up from the well the day before yesterday was that the restaurant had been controlled by someone the day before yesterday. The wine was being carried up from the well, and since the well was empty, there was no need to store the wine in the well.

Even though he had been soaked in medicinal herbs before, Zhang Ji was the one who did it.

What Qin Rufeng was most concerned about was that the servant boy's last sentence was much stronger than the farmhouse's small courtyard. The meaning of his words was that the young master of the medicinal plant, Zhang Ji, would personally make a move.

Nan Zian had once told him that the young master of Zhang Ji Yao had ordered that no one was to enter the house where he lived. This was also the reason why no one had disturbed Qin Rufeng even though he had been there for over a month.

And now, this servant was stronger than the farmhouse's small courtyard. Other than the young master of the Zhang Family, there was probably no other person capable of entering that small courtyard.
