"Bring him out and give him a good beating first. This guy actually stole things on our street!"
Everyone was filled with righteous indignation and ran into Zhang Chunxue's yard. They immediately saw the person being pinned to the ground by Song Xingzhi.
Someone immediately came forward and kicked him twice on the butt.
"This bastard actually dared to come to our place and steal things. He's really bold!"
A person next to him also kicked Zhang Dashun in the ribs while cursing.
"Don't call the police, let's solve this ourselves! I'm going to kill this guy!"
Song Xingzhi didn't expect that the people here were so fierce, and he couldn't help but twitch his lips.
He coughed lightly and said, "If you can, you should report it to the police. I'm still worried that they will be too harsh and cause trouble."
Someone nearby expressed disapproval: "What kind of trouble can this possibly cause? We're just venting our anger!"
"That's right! Beat this guy up first!"
Zhang Dashun, who was pressed to the ground, struggled desperately.
Don't listen to these people's nonsense, they are very ruthless!
Who kicked him in the ribs just now? He almost collapsed in pain.
Someone else shouted, "Turn this man over first to see who he is!"
Two strong men came forward immediately.
Song Xingzhi retracted his foot and stepped aside.
Zhang Dashun was turned over, his head and face covered in mud.
No one recognized him at first.
But Song Xingzhi certainly wanted to give him a chance to shine, so he immediately exclaimed in a very pretentious manner, "Isn't this Zhang Dashun, the braised food seller in town?"
When Zhang Dashun heard the word "before", he became angry again.
It's already this fucking time, and you're still trying to hurt him.
Someone who knew Zhang Dashun also came over, took a closer look, wiped his face with disdain, shone a flashlight on him for a long time, and exclaimed: "It really seems to be Zhang Dashun!"
Everyone was shocked.
"Why is Zhang Dashun coming to the Song family?"
"I know. Isn't it because the Song family has been selling braised food recently? And the taste is pretty good. I guess Zhang Dashun is here to steal their secret recipe!"
Zhang Dashun was still feeling nervous, not knowing how to justify his behavior of running to Zhang Chunxue's house in the middle of the night. When he heard what everyone said, his eyes suddenly turned and he was ready to make an excuse in this direction.
After all, compared to poisoning, stealing secret recipes doesn't seem so unacceptable.
However, how could Song Xingzhi let him get away with it so easily?
He picked up a dirty rag on the ground and said, "He came to steal the secret recipe, why did he pull our rag? There's no secret recipe written on our rag."
He leaned closer, his nose twitched, and then he frowned: "I washed this rag myself tonight. It was clean. Why does it smell weird now?"
As he spoke, he handed it to a neighbor who came over with a curious look on his face: "Brother Liu, smell this, is it weird?"
The man known as Brother Liu took the rag and sniffed for a long time. "This smell is indeed a bit strange... and quite familiar. But I can't remember where I smelled it before."
Song Xingzhi took down several other rags from the rope and sniffed them one by one: "Why do these rags have a strange smell? I clearly washed them clean!"
He pinched it again. "It's been hanging out to dry for most of the night...it should have dried up in this weather. Why is it still wet to the touch?"
Another neighbor took it, touched it, and frowned as well: "This doesn't feel right. If it hadn't dried, it would have felt moist, not wet while drying."
He reacted quickly: "I think it doesn't look like it's not dried yet, it looks more like someone just poured water on it."
Song Xingzhi immediately laughed: "Brother Zhou, who would come to my house and splash water on the rag in the middle of the night?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Zhang Dashun, who was still pinned to the ground.
Zhang Dashun's expression froze, and he felt even more anxious.
Brother Liu finally reacted and slapped his thigh. "I remember where I smelled this smell before! When I was in charge of the equipment in the warehouse, I was afraid that rats would come and gnaw on it, so I sprayed rat poison mixed with water on the equipment! That's what I smelled then!"
Song Xingzhi immediately gasped: "Brother Liu, are you saying that someone sprayed rat poison on our rag?"
The onlookers were suddenly in an uproar, and their eyes turned to Zhang Dashun again.
Zhang Dashun was completely panicked at this moment.
It’s over, it’s really over now!
Uncle Zhou frowned. "Zhang Dashun, how big of a conflict do you have with Director Song's family? You actually want to poison them and harm them?"
Zhang Dashun's mind was in a mess at the moment and he didn't dare to speak at all.
But Zhang Chunxue said with a pale face: "No, he is not here to harm our family!"
She grabbed a rag, her fingers exerting force, her voice trembling, "I use this rag when I'm setting up a stall, so I clean it every day. Before I weigh the braised food for customers, I wipe my hands with it to avoid getting any dirt on them."
Her expression became even uglier. "So if he really wanted to poison us, it wouldn't be us who would be harmed, but the people who come to buy my braised food."
She seemed to be provoked by something when she said this, and immediately shouted at Zhang Dashun: "Why are you so vicious? Why do you want to harm these people who have no grudge against you?"
At this moment, some people with sharp minds had already reacted and immediately clicked their tongues twice: "Oh, sister-in-law Song, you are really stupid! You are also selling braised food now, and his business will be bad when you come here."
"But if someone buys your braised food and something happens to them, who would dare to buy from your stall again? Not to mention if someone dies, you might even be thrown into jail, and then no one would dare to buy your business!"
Zhang Chunxue, however, had an expression of disbelief: "Just to grab business, are you going to disregard people's lives?"
She looked around at the crowd in the dark night: "I remember the neighbors living nearby have been very supportive of my business these past two days..."
"If Zhang Dashun really succeeds, everyone might be poisoned to death by him!"
This remark once again caused a commotion among the people around.
Damn it, I just thought this person’s methods were despicable, but now I think there’s a possibility that I might be poisoned to death!
Moreover, these braised foods are bought for the whole family to eat...the whole family will be wiped out!
