Wang Xiaohei just chuckled, grabbed a handful of peanuts and stuffed them directly into the big man's mouth, "Oh, customer, you should have said so earlier. If you like peanuts, I would have served you some earlier."
"Come on, is what you brought enough? If not, I can buy you more after you finish this pack. Don't be shy, eat as much as you like."
Wang Xiaohei was overjoyed. If it weren't for so many people watching, he would have definitely given this bastard a good beating. Now that he could take revenge in other ways, he naturally wouldn't let the person on the ground off easily.
The big man was so frightened by the handful of peanuts in Wang Xiaohei's hand that he almost lost his mind. He kept his mouth tightly shut and shook his head, looking like he was refusing to open it.
Just kidding, he only ate a few and his whole body broke out in rashes. If he eats this handful, he'll really be done for today.
He wanted to dine and dash, not to die.
Those who initially didn't quite believe Jiang Yimian's words now believed her after seeing the big man's appearance, and they all started cursing the person on the ground.
If peanuts weren't a trigger food for this person, why would he be so stubbornly refusing to eat them now, even though he said he liked them earlier?
Just then, a shout rang out from outside the shop, "What are you all doing here? Someone said the shop is poisoning people. What's going on?"
Zhang Li walked in with two constables, his face cold. When he saw Jiang Yimian and the others in the shop, he was clearly taken aback.
But the burly man on the ground thought the constable in front of him was his savior, and shouted at Zhang Li, "Help! Officer, cough cough cough, this shop poisoned me and I'm like this now, cough cough, and now they want to poison me to death. Arrest everyone in this shop!"
Zhang Li glanced at him only, then looked at the onlookers and casually asked, "What's going on?"
Upon hearing the question, someone immediately explained what had happened to the group.
Zhang Li raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "What a coincidence! I heard that a few restaurants in the next town recently reported to the authorities that someone was faking illness to dine and dash, but unfortunately they haven't been able to catch the person. I didn't expect that they would come to Qinghe Town."
"We really owe a debt of gratitude to Jiang's restaurant today. Not only did they help the authorities catch the man, but they also found out how he faked illness to dine and dash, thus restoring justice to those restaurants."
Upon hearing this, several guests who had heard about the incident slapped their foreheads and began to recount what had happened in the neighboring town.
"Oh my, I knew something was off about this earlier. Turns out it's the guy who dined and dashed and ruined business for several restaurants in the next town."
"Yes, I've heard about it too. I thought it was just a lie told by the restaurant, but I never expected it to be true. We really owe it all to Jiang's."
Otherwise, who would know this guy would poison him?
Jiang Yimian was also somewhat surprised and looked at Zhang Li with a puzzled expression. When she saw him nodding earnestly, she realized that it was actually true.
That makes sense, judging from the skillful technique this big man used today, he must have done it many times before.
If she hadn't noticed his strange behavior early on and hadn't been paying close attention, she would have had a hard time discovering it.
Seeing this, the big man knew he was in trouble. He never expected that his good day would be ruined by this bitch. He was so angry that his blood boiled, and he drew the dagger from his waist and was about to stab Jiang Yimian.
His movements were so swift that no one could react in time. By the time Jiang Yimian realized it, the dagger was only two fists away from her.
Everyone gasped as the dagger was about to pierce Jiang Yimian's neck. The next second, a sharp dagger flew over and pierced straight into the big man's palm.
He felt a sharp pain in his hand, and the dagger that was about to pierce Jiang Yimian's neck instantly fell to the ground.
The burly man clutched his hand, which had been pierced by a dagger, and knelt on the ground, wailing in pain.
Jiang Yimian looked at the cold and fierce person at the door, and her lips curved slightly.
She knew this person would definitely make a move.
Lu Cijian met those smiling eyes, her expression stiffened, and she slightly clenched her palms.
The situation was urgent, and I didn't have time to think before I acted without considering how I would see Mianmian.
Zhang Li, unaware of what had happened between the two, simply breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Thanks, brother."
After saying that, he was about to have someone take the big man away when he suddenly remembered something. He grabbed the money pouch from the big man's waist and threw it to Wang Xiaohei, saying with a smile, "This is for this guy's meal."
Wang Xiaohei took it in one swift motion, secretly relieved. He had thought this guy was really going to get nothing today, but luckily Zhang Li was there.
Seeing that the culprit had been taken away, the people eating in the shop breathed a sigh of relief and returned to their seats with smiles to continue eating and drinking.
However, the conversation was no longer limited to the food at the shop, but also included the incident of being ripped off in the neighboring town and the ruthlessness of Jiang's shopkeeper.
Seeing everyone busy, Zhang Li smiled and looked at Jiang Yimian, "Not bad, the shop is open now. I was wondering what kind of shop Jiang's was."
He had just been transferred to patrol Qinghe Town a few days ago and had been busy with all sorts of things, so he hadn't been to Qingshi Village and had no idea that the Jiang family's shop had opened.
Jiang Yimian just smiled and deliberately said, "That's right, how could a busy man like Constable Zhang know about our shop?"
Zhang Li touched his nose somewhat embarrassedly. He didn't know why he had so many things to do every day. He was either being sent to other towns by the adults or had endless little tasks to attend to.
I had promised Zhao Da that I would go to the village to visit Old Liu when I had time, but I got so busy that I forgot.
Zhao Da and Ma Ming had at least visited the village to help people settle down in Xiaowadi, but he hadn't been back since after the Lunar New Year.
I have no idea what Qingshi Village looks like now.
Just then, the young constable outside came in carrying some things and urged, "Brother Zhang, Brother Chen and the others are calling you back to the yamen!"
Zhang Li quickly responded, took the items from the young constable and placed them on the counter, smiling as he said, "These are some snacks and treats, plus two jars of wine."
Take this back and share it with the children and your great-grandfather. Apologize to your great-grandfather for me; I doubt I can leave easily, there's just too much going on every day.”
He had bought these things a long time ago, intending to send them to Qing Shi Village when he had the chance, but he was too busy and couldn't find a suitable opportunity. Now that he had met Jiang Yatou, it saved him the trouble of making another trip.
Jiang Yimian said helplessly, "You should go and apologize yourself. I'll definitely deliver this for you."
Zhang Li just smiled and touched his head, without saying anything more, and left with the young constable.
At this moment, in a narrow alley not far from Changlin Alley.
The person inside the carriage clenched his fists in resentment as he listened to the maid's words outside. "This country girl is quite lucky; she actually managed to be discovered."
"Didn't they say that guy had done a lot of things like this and would never be discovered? How did you find him?"
She was hoping to see Jiang's restaurant close down today, but that idiot was taken away by the police first. What a waste of her time.
