An Wanwan and An Miaomiao were top ten thieves from a renowned thief guild in modern times. One fateful day, they transmigrated and became not just best friends, but sisters. They also gained sever...
"that is……"
His two older brothers chimed in.
An Wanwan is not flustered at all.
She then asked, "Did you really get into trouble after eating at our shop? How come only you got into trouble while the others were fine? Also, I have another question. You all look like you're not well-off, so how come you were willing to spend so much money to eat at our shop and even take some food home?"
The middle-aged woman said irritably, "You wicked woman, you ruined my sons and now you look down on them. Our family isn't well-off, but my sons did a good job and received rewards from the shopkeeper, so what?"
Even ordinary people wouldn't act like this if they received a reward from the shopkeeper.
An Wanwan pursed her lips and said calmly, "Where did I look down on them? Aren't I just stating the facts? Shouldn't I have such doubts? Since that's the case, then let's call the shopkeeper over for a confrontation."
The town magistrate had no objection.
After clarifying the situation with the middle-aged woman, he ordered the head constable to lead men to invite the shopkeeper.
Less than 45 minutes.
The shopkeeper was summoned to the yamen (government office).
Upon seeing the town magistrate, he knelt down and said, "This humble subject, Zhang Defa, greets Your Excellency, Town Magistrate."
"Stand up and answer."
The town magistrate looked at him and said.
Zhang Defa stood up.
The town magistrate asked unhurriedly, "Li Daniu, Li Erniu, and Li Sanniu, do they work in your shop? Did they even receive a reward from you today?"
"right!"
Zhang Defa nodded and continued.
"Here's what happened: our grocery store accidentally caught fire today. They risked their own lives to save everyone and even managed to salvage a lot of grain. So I consulted the owner and rewarded each of them with one tael of silver."
The head constable chimed in, "Sir, that is indeed the case."
They spent over two hundred coins on three taels of silver, isn't that a bit excessive?
Li Daniu and the others all looked towards An Wanwan.
"So that's how it is."
An Wanwan murmured something, then turned her gaze to the town magistrate and asked, "Sir, where did they vomit? Who saw them vomit?"
“I saw it with my own eyes. They vomited in an alley not far from your shop. They vomited so badly that they almost threw up everything they had eaten.”
A man of average appearance and around thirty years old walked over from the side and said.
Upon hearing this...
An Miaomiao rolled her eyes at him and said, "You didn't even eat with them, how do you know they almost threw up everything they ate?"
"I…"
"I was just saying that."
The 30-year-old man choked for a moment before speaking.
An Miaomiao ignored him and turned her gaze to Dr. Lin at Xiaolin Clinic, asking, "Dr. Lin, right? Do you remember what their faces looked like when they came?"
"Their faces looked very pale, and they came to the clinic vomiting and having diarrhea..."
Dr. Lin answered truthfully.
That's fine too.
An Miaomiao was speechless for a moment.
The middle-aged woman snorted and said, "Stop wasting time here, hurry up and pay up..."
Before An Wanwan and the others could say anything...
The middle-aged woman said to the town magistrate, "Sir, they are so unscrupulous, we can't let them keep their shops open. Their shops must be closed down, and they must never open again!"
That's their ultimate goal, isn't it?
An Wanwan was wondering what to do.
An Shi's voice came from outside: "Lord Town Magistrate, I have found evidence that proves Li Daniu and his group are guilty."
