Chapter 43 The truth is revealed

Jiang Lianzhu pointed at a burly man watching the excitement in the crowd and said, "This is one of the thugs who, on Master Qian's orders, tried to steal some of our mother's prescriptions yesterday..."

Everyone looked over.

They all knew each other more or less, and he was indeed a member of the four-man Axe Gang.

He is quite famous and most people don't dare to mess with him.

I'm afraid of getting involved.

The thug from the Axe Gang was watching the fun intently, but when Jiang Lianzhu called out his name, he was so scared that he turned around and tried to run away.

Jiang Lianzhu quickly walked over and grabbed his clothes, "Don't go! Tell the official what happened yesterday..."

The thug was anxious and whispered, "Auntie, aren't you pushing me into the fire pit? How can I dare to tell the truth? If I tell you, we will go in. No, no, Auntie, you have great magical powers, you can figure it out yourself."

Jiang Lianzhu moved her fingers secretly, and a syringe appeared in her hand.

While the thug didn't notice, by the time he felt a chill on his butt, his consciousness had already fallen into a semi-confused state.

Jiang Lianzhu injected him with half a tube of truth serum, which she took out from her arsenal.

It's amazing how her arsenal of weapons can be unleashed at critical moments.

He shouted, "Tell the officer what you did yesterday! Speak louder."

Suddenly, the thug shouted, "Yesterday, Mr. Qian from the Yingke Restaurant asked the four of us brothers to do a job. We had to take ten taels of silver to buy Jiang's Autumn Pear Paste recipe. Mr. Qian wanted to monopolize the recipe and was jealous of the money it was making. Mr. Qian said that if we couldn't afford the ten taels of silver, we should just rob her. Mr. Qian said that Jiang was just a country woman with a few children, and we were nothing to be afraid of..."

Tell the whole story again.

Master Qian was so angry that his face turned pale. How could this idiot be so stupid? He gave him away, but could they escape by themselves?

It's still the same as going to jail.

The captain still didn't believe it. "Four of you from the Axe Gang were defeated by a young woman? And she even broke a rib? Are you kidding me?"

Jiang Lianzhu acted swiftly and knocked the thug to the ground with one move.

Fast, accurate and ruthless.

The thug fell to the ground with a thud.

The captain was shocked.

Jiang Lianzhu clapped her hands and said, "I'm sorry if I scared you all. I just learned a few moves before, so I'm sorry to show you how ugly they are."

Now, the scene was quiet.

No one doubted the ruffian's words anymore.

Then, Jiang Lianzhu walked up to the woman again and said, "Aren't you going to tell the truth? Were you also bribed by Mr. Qian to slander me? Think carefully. Lying in front of an official is a serious crime."

The remaining half tube of truth serum was injected into the woman's body.

The woman was stunned for a moment before answering, "Yes, we were also hired by Master Qian. My son wasn't poisoned, and he didn't have vomiting or diarrhea. Master Qian asked us to pretend. He gave us half a can of Autumn Pear Paste, saying that it contained croton powder, so we wouldn't be afraid if a doctor came to check. He also said that Jiang's son should eat it, as Jiang herself had a son, so he would definitely have diarrhea after eating it. So everyone believed it, and they arrested Jiang and put her in jail, forcing her to give him the recipe for the Autumn Pear Paste herself. If she did, she would be spared. If she didn't, she would die in jail..."

Everyone was shocked...

The woman's husband was so anxious that Jiang Lianzhu was too lazy to give him medicine.

Now that the truth is out, don't waste it.

The onlookers began to curse Mr. Qian.

"Tsk tsk tsk, so that's how it is! Sir, I never thought there would be such a shameless person in the world!"

"For the sake of someone else's autumn pear paste recipe, you resorted to underhanded tactics one after another. You're not afraid of being struck by lightning when you treat an orphan and a widow like this..."

"You don't know, but Yingke Restaurant has always been doing this. Many of their secret recipes were stolen. They're used to being so evil. Qian Guanxi is a piece of shit. He's bankrupted several restaurants..."

"Perhaps, he bribed the officials... Fortunately, this young lady Jiang is lucky and has both ability and talent."

…

The captain of the police was completely ashamed, as the evidence was overwhelming and in front of everyone.

There was no way he could side with Mr. Qian anymore.

He shouted, "Come here, arrest the man surnamed Qian and bring all the witnesses back to the yamen for the judge! And all the people involved, go to the yamen together."

Jiang Lianzhu was not afraid either. She collected all the autumn pear paste and loaded it onto the ox cart.

Take Dabao with you to the yamen.

The onlookers who came to watch the fun followed in a large group.

Along the way, some people who didn't know the situation found out that such a big thing had happened.

I also came to watch the fun.

The morning market in Shili Town was thus moved outside the government office.

The judge in the yamen tried the case from beginning to end and got to the bottom of the matter.

Qian Guanxi still wanted to protest his innocence, but at this time, several victims who had been framed by him in the past stood up and reported all his previous evil deeds. This was a new case plus an old case, so the judge sent him directly to jail.

The Axe Gang thugs also had to spend a few days in jail, and the couple who falsely accused others were also severely punished.

In the end, Jiang Lianzhu simply reported the brand of her Jiang's Qiuli Paste to the government office, which is equivalent to registering a trademark with the Trademark Office in modern times to prevent it from being registered by others.

Now, if anyone pretends to be her Jiang's Autumn Pear Paste, she can directly accuse them of forgery.

This was all caused by Qian Guanxi, otherwise, Jiang Lianzhu would not have thought of this for a while.

…

Jiang Lianzhu left the yamen safely. The people were watching the official trying the case the whole time. As soon as she came out, many people were waiting to buy autumn pear paste.

The recipe for autumn pear paste that Qian Guanxi was willing to spend such a huge amount of money to get must be a good thing.

Jiang Lianzhu simply started doing business in front of the town government office.

Anyway, no urban management is chasing people away.

There were also people like Mr. Qian who secretly wanted to get the recipe of Jiang Lianzhu Qiuli Paste, but after this incident, they all stopped their plans.

Knocking on the mountain frightens the tiger.

After the sales were completed, several shops came to discuss wholesale business with Jiang Lianzhu.

The grocery store bought ten kilograms of rich autumn pear paste, and Jiang Lianzhu paid them four hundred coins per kilogram.

Another restaurant also bought ten kilograms of rich autumn pear paste.

The tea shop also bought ten kilograms...

The largest buyer was Lin's Dim Sum Shop, which bought a total of 50 kilograms of rich autumn pear paste and 10 kilograms of ordinary-sized autumn pear paste.

Just buy out all of Jiang Lianzhu’s share today.

Finally, they politely invited Jiang Lianzhu to their store to discuss long-term cooperation. Jiang Lianzhu thought about it and took Dabao with her.

Lin’s Dim Sum Shop is a branch here, and its main store is in the provincial capital, so it is very influential.

If there can be a long-term cooperation, then she won't have to worry about sales.

Of course, she will definitely give a discount and cannot sell it at 500 wen per catty, but it doesn't matter, small profits but quick turnover.
