Caleb and the Cursed Kitchen Chapter 9

Caleb Lu and He Lai initially ran towards the exit.

Who knew that when he was halfway through the run, he suddenly found that the door he came in through was locked, and there were two big men waiting at the door.

"Go upstairs! Find a room!" Caleb Lu braked suddenly and shouted to He Lai from a distance.

The two men rushed into the crowd without caring about anything. Soon, screams of people falling over and tables flipping over could be heard in the restaurant. Behind them, the shopkeeper of Tumichun was screaming angrily: "Catch these two D@me b@stards!"

I have never experienced such an exciting thing on the road.

I just came out for a midnight snack, how did it end up like this? !

But he had no time to think about anything now. He just regretted that he had eaten too much just now. Now his stomach was about to vomit after running so hard. It was only the fear of "selling himself as a prostitute if caught" that kept his legs moving mechanically.

"This way!"

Caleb Lu noticed that there was a room with an open door at the end of the corridor on the second floor, and there was probably no one inside. So he grabbed He Lai's sleeve and pulled him, and the two of them stumbled in.

He Lai panted and locked the door, then moved a table and chairs to block the door. After blocking it, he asked in panic: "Brother Lu, are we never going to go out? How long can this house hold out?"

I was speechless while walking, the clothes on my back were sticking to my skin with sweat, I slumped in the chair and put one hand on my chest, it took a while for me to catch my breath, and I said: "Go... Go out, of course I have to go out."

Hiding in the room is just to buy some more time.

He panted, stood up and pushed the window behind him - this place couldn't have only one exit, right?

However, the window seemed to be welded shut by something, and he couldn't push it open with his hands. He was really out of strength, so he shouted, "Xiao Lai, come and try to see if you can break the window open."

Outside the door, he could faintly hear noisy voices coming towards this direction. He Lai was extremely anxious and once again used his "cannonball skill" and crashed headfirst into the center of the window frame.

With a crisp "crack" sound, the window pane broke apart and fell out with a crash, but He Lai also fell out with half of his body!

Caleb Lu's pupils shrank, and he rushed forward and almost grabbed his belt.

He Lai was still unaware, his upper body hanging outside as he shouted ecstatically: "Brother Lu! It's the street outside! I see other shops...we can go out!"

Caleb Lu gritted his teeth, his hands hurting from the pinching: "Got it...! You come in first!"

"Get out! You two b@stards - break the door open! Quick!"

As soon as He Lai was pulled up, he heard someone knocking on the door. He quickly jumped out of the window and pushed Caleb Lu: "Quick, quick, quick, brother Lu, you go down first. Come on, step here and then jump down!"

On the way, I climbed up to the window sill and looked out.

"......" He retracted his foot, turned around and said to He Lai with a pale face: "Why don't you go down first, so that you can meet me downstairs..."

It’s too high, at least three or four meters.

He won't fall headfirst, will he?

He Lai didn't understand what was going on and wanted to stay behind to cover their retreat. However, the door of the room at the other end had been knocked open a wide gap and the tables and chairs behind the door were being squeezed, making a ping-pong sound.

He Lai was startled and made a quick decision, turning over and jumping down.

"!!!"

Watching He Lai free falling in front of him, Lu was so nervous that he didn't dare to breathe. He only breathed a sigh of relief when the little fat boy rolled over and got up, waving at him desperately.

At this moment, there was a loud bang behind him. The strong men outside the door finally pushed aside the pile of debris and ran towards him aggressively.

"Stop! You think you can get away!"

Caleb Lu did not hesitate, took a deep breath, closed his eyes and jumped out - the wind whistled past his ears, and just as the opening credits of the revolving lantern were playing, his feet landed on solid ground...

"Well!"

The moment he landed, Caleb Lu trembled and cried out in pain.

D@me, my ankle is sprained!

Before I could catch my breath, some ferocious faces appeared in the window.

Caleb Lu's heart tightened, and he urged quickly: "Hurry up, don't wait for them to catch up."

"But your feet..." He Lai supported him and felt that the other person's body was trembling slightly.

"It's okay, let's go," he said, enduring the severe pain in his ankle. "Besides, there are so many people coming and going outside. If someone finds out that we are..."

Before they could utter the word "Xiaoguanlou", they bumped into something hard and were forced to stop.

Then, they were roughly grabbed by the wrists and necks and forcibly dragged away.

"Ahhh I'll fight you guys...?"

He Lai stopped shouting halfway, like a chicken with its throat strangled.

While screaming in pain, he turned his head and met a ferocious face with an eagle nose and hawk eyes.

The owner of this face was wearing a red official uniform.

When he was on the road, he looked at the large group of people behind him who were obviously dressed as soldiers, and quietly winked at He Lai, putting on a fake and flattering smile: "Sir, did you misunderstand something? I just sprained my ankle and went to see a doctor with my brother. Is it illegal to pass by here?"

The official snorted coldly from his conspicuous hooked nose, pushed him to his soldiers, and then looked up at the broken window.

There's no one there anymore.

But the hook nose was not fooled, and said sternly: "The Criminal Supervision Department is on official business! Seal this building for me, and no one is allowed to enter or leave."

Then he pointed at dozens of people and said, "You, follow me in."

Soon, there were screams, roars, pleas for mercy, and the sound of a large number of things being smashed.

More and more people gathered on the street, and even people from the shops nearby kept running over to watch the fun.

While walking, his hands were tied by officers and soldiers, making him unable to move. He could only grit his teeth, maintain the posture of standing on one leg, and silently accept the gazes of the onlookers.

Soon, the people inside filed out under the escort of officers and soldiers.

They stood in a long line, their wrists tied together with a rope. After coming out, they were ordered to squat on the spot and not move. They all wanted to bury their heads in their chests.

Road time: "......"

This is what the anti-pornography brigade looks like when enforcing the law.

He tried to jump to the side with his only remaining leg, trying to draw a clear 38th parallel between himself and these people.

The onlookers also reacted when they saw these people and started pointing and talking.

"......This is to catch a prostitute!"

"No wonder those men are so shameless. There are so many brothels to go to, but they come here to mess around with men. Are they sick?"

"That's not right. Isn't this just a place for eating? When did it start doing this?"

"Tsk tsk, these people are doomed anyway. Didn't you see that it was Lord Qiu from the Criminal Supervision Department who personally led people to arrest them? He hates this kind of thing the most. They will have to spend at least a few more years in prison..."

When these words fell into the ears of everyone present, they were all terrified.

He Lai who was standing beside him was so frightened that his face turned pale. With tears in his eyes, he said to Caleb Lu: "Brother Lu, what should I do? I can't go to jail. What will my mother do if I go to jail? "

Caleb Lu whispered to comfort him for a while, and when he saw the hook-nosed man coming out of the door, he shouted loudly: "Sir! Sir! We are really innocent! Please let us go!"

After Qiu Yuren finished explaining things to his men, he walked up to him and glanced at him with disdain.

"Shut up, I'm not blind. If you say one more word, your sentence will be increased by one year. Go over there and squat!"

Road time: "......"

He was pushed a few times, lost his balance and fell into the crowd, and happened to bump into the scholar who was leading them tonight.

Caleb Lu grabbed the man's clothes and said, "Sir, what I said is true! He was the one who tricked us here! If you don't believe me, ask him!"

The scholar was busy covering his face with his sleeves, but when he heard what Caleb Lu said, he immediately said, "What do you mean I lied to you? It was obviously you who wanted to come to Tu Mi Chun to drink, and asked me to lead the way! If you two didn't like this, how would you know this name!"

He Lai sensed something was wrong, "Wait, we are looking for the Lichun wine, not Tumichun wine! Isn't Lichun a kind of wine???"

The scholar was stunned, covering his face and yelling: "What is the name of the wine of the spring? The building of Tumichun is this!"

Road time: "......"

He Lai: "......"

What a crappy name for a crappy place!

Caleb Lu turned to the hook-nosed man and said sincerely, "Sir, did you understand what I just said? It was a misunderstanding. We thought it was just a place selling alcohol. You see, we were willing to jump off the building just now. We couldn't stay in this place for even a minute!"

"You are not g@y?"

Qiu Yuren looked at him with contempt and disgust. After a moment, he said word by word: "Don't quibble. Just by looking at your appearance, I know that you must be the same kind as these shady people. Take away!"

Caleb Lu: "???"

The officers and soldiers came over, roughly twisted Caleb Lu's arm and pulled him up, ignoring his grimace of pain.

Seeing that he had no way to reason with others and no way to retreat, the young man was finally overwhelmed by anger and hopped on one foot and cursed: "What a sh!tty official you are! How dare you kill people without distinguishing right from wrong in front of the masses------"

Qiu Yuren in front of him suddenly stopped, clenched his fists, and was about to turn around to teach this ignorant boy a lesson, when a ghostly figure suddenly appeared and landed silently in front of him.

Qiu Yuren was startled and drew out his sword: "Who is coming?"

The man, dressed in black, stretched out two fingers to hold the blade of his sword and yawned nonchalantly, "Master Qiu."

The road was stunned where it was.

Black evil spirit?

After seeing the other person's face clearly, Qiu Yuren paused for a moment, put the sword back into the sheath with a grim look, and said coldly: "Han Yang."

"You are acting more arrogantly and unruly now. I am on official business in the Criminal Supervision Department, and you dare to stop me." Qiu Yuren stared at him, "Why, do you have a lover here, and you come to ask me for someone?"

Han Yang's face darkened immediately, and he lowered his voice and said, "Qiu, keep your mouth shut. Don't think I don't dare to beat you up."

Qiu Yuren snorted disdainfully: "Don't think that just because you have the support of the Seventh Prince, I will..."

"Lord Qiu, who do you think I support?" Damien Luan walked out slowly from behind Han Yang.

Qiu Yuren's expression changed drastically. He immediately took two steps back and knelt down to salute: "Your humble servant pays respect to His Majesty."

Lu's mouth was open wide enough to fit three quail eggs.

Damien Luan did not immediately ask Qiu Yuren to stand up, but instead turned his gaze to the road behind him.

Caleb Lu closed his mouth with his hands in a daze, and suddenly realized that it was his boss who came. He quickly waved at Damien Luan, and with tears in his eyes, he made four words with exaggerated mouth shape: "Prince, help me."

Damien Luan: "......"

He retracted his gaze and said calmly: "Master Qiu."

Qiu Yuren knelt on the ground with his head bowed, not daring to move, his back tensed, fearing that the other party would continue to ask the previous question, "Yes, does the prince have any instructions?"

"Your Criminal Supervision Department has been somewhat negligent in its duties recently." Damien Luan said in a deep voice.

"The number of prostitutes in the area has grown to a considerable size, and you have not noticed it for a long time. And you can arbitrarily accuse my servant of such a crime when there is no evidence to prove it."

The man raised his chin slightly, revealing sharp lines. Although his face was expressionless and emotionless, an irresistible pressure came over him.

"You, do you have any dissatisfaction with me?"
