Chapter 93: Zhou Tianci is imprisoned, Xiao Ying returns to the village in a high-profile manner
When the bailiffs came to arrest someone, Zhou Tianci was singing a little song at home, waiting for his subordinates to come and report the good news.
Judging by the time, the bandits should have succeeded.
When he thought about the bitch Xiao Ying having her head and body separated, he felt so happy that he finally got rid of the anger he had been holding.
What he got was not the report from the servants, but the government runners who locked him up and took him to the county government office.
Zhou Tianci was shocked and angry, but no matter how he shouted, the yamen runners remained indifferent and even covered his mouth in the end.
This incident naturally alarmed his parents, but his father Zhou Wang was not at home. It was an incense stick later when the people below found him.
Zhou Tianci only realized that he had failed after being arrested and taken to the county government office. He felt dizzy when he heard that the bandits not only failed to kill Xiao Ying's family, but were instead brought to the county government office with their legs broken by Xiao Ying.
It's over, it's really over this time. Who is this woman? How come even the bandits can't deal with her?
No, it was obviously these bandits who were too arrogant. They only sent two people. Damn it!
"Zhou Tianci, do you plead guilty?"
Qian Qingrong stared at Zhou Tianci meaningfully. Zhou Tianci shuddered and immediately began to cry out for justice.
"Please understand, sir. I don't even know these people, so how could I have asked someone to kill them? I, Zhou Tianci, am the young master of Manxiang Garden after all. There is no need for me to lower my status to do such a thing. I hope sir will understand!"
Unexpectedly, before Xiao Ying could speak, the second in command became unhappy and pointed at Zhou Tianci and started cursing.
"You bastard! You were the one who found us last night and told us to rob and kill this family today. You even promised me a reward of five hundred taels of silver. Now you dare to deny it?"
The bandits nearby also echoed and pointed out that it was Zhou Tianci who bribed them to kill people.
Zhou Tianci was furious. He had never seen these two bandits before and couldn't understand why they said that. Did that woman give these two people some kind of magic potion?
Just as the two sides were arguing, Zhou Wang arrived.
A hint of greed at the success of his plan flashed in Qian Qingrong's eyes. He immediately ordered his men to take Zhou Tianci and the bandits away and put them in jail, winning praise from the people.
Zhou Tianci was shocked and angry. This corrupt official had taken so many benefits from his family on a daily basis, and now he wanted to put him in jail?
Everyone knows that prison is dirty and smelly. How could he, the young master of Manxiang Garden, go to jail?
However, no matter how he struggled, it was of no avail, and finally his figure disappeared in the county government office.
"Madam, rest assured. Zhou Tianci dared to hire someone to kill someone. Even if he is the young master of Manxiang Garden, I will definitely handle the matter impartially and give you justice!"
Qian Qingrong withdrew his gaze with disdain, and when he looked at Xiao Ying, his expression was gentle and firm.
If you didn't know, you would really think he was a good official who spoke up for the people.
But Xiao Ying saw the whole scene just now. Although she didn't know the county magistrate's character before, she became more cautious now.
"Thank you, sir, for taking charge of us, an orphan and a widow."
"This is what I am supposed to do. That's all for today. I'm adjourning!"
The onlookers dispersed one after another, and Xiao Ying also prepared to leave the county government office with a few children.
But then a face very similar to Zhou Tianci walked in quickly and went to look for Qian Qingrong anxiously.
Xiao Ying's eyes flashed slightly, she seemed to completely understand Qian Qingrong's purpose, and a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.
After leaving the county government office, Xiao Ying and his family did not stop and left the county town again and headed towards Chenjia Village.
Shortly after they left the county, the county magistrate and the Zhou family reached an agreement. The Zhou family was willing to offer 10,000 taels of silver to redeem Zhou Tianci.
Qian Qingrong was very satisfied with Zhou Wang's directorship, but Zhou Wang hated him in his heart. This guy's appetite was getting bigger and bigger.
Ten thousand taels of silver is equivalent to half a year's net income for the Zhou family.
But in order to save his son, he had to do this. He couldn't really let his son go to jail.
Therefore, before nightfall, Zhou Tianci was released, and Zhou Wang then realized what this idiot had done.
He was so angry that he beat him up again and locked him in a room to reflect on his mistakes.
Zhou Wang became more and more interested in Xiao Ying. This woman seemed to be even more powerful than he had imagined. He would not treat her as an ordinary village woman like his stupid son did.
He did not blame Zhou Tianci for bribing the bandits to kill the other party, but blamed him for his incompetence. Not only did he fail to kill the other party, but he also exposed himself.
This woman did business with Ruyi Restaurant. If Ruyi Restaurant really controlled the spicy sesame oil, the name of Manxiangyuan would probably no longer exist in Yun'an County.
He tapped the table lightly with his fingers. This woman really couldn't be kept.
Compared with Zhou Wang, Zhou Tianci hated Xiao Ying even more.
He didn't understand how something that was clearly a sure thing turned out like this. Why was that woman so difficult to kill?
If we miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to deal with the other party again, and we don’t know how long we will have to wait.
His face was so gloomy that water could drip from it, but he didn't have any good ideas in his mind.
Xiao Ying naturally didn't know about the affairs of the Zhou family father and son. This time, he had a smooth journey after leaving the city and arrived home at three quarters past the hour of You.
Fortunately, the daytime hours are getting longer and longer, and it basically doesn’t get dark until three quarters after midnight, so it’s not too late.
Driving a horse-drawn carriage through the village was truly a sight to behold.
At first, the villagers thought that some important person had arrived, but they found out that it was Chen Xinghai who was driving the carriage, and Chen Xingyun and his two siblings were sitting in the carriage.
It turned out that this carriage was actually bought by Madam Xiao.
This was a big deal, and it attracted the villagers to come out to watch, and follow Xiao Ying and others to her home.
Everyone knows that horse-drawn carriages are not cheap, and even in town, not many people can afford them.
Madam Xiao went to the county town and actually bought a carriage. Could it be that she really made a lot of money from those two seasonings?
In the end, even the village head Chen Jie came over out of curiosity to watch. Xiao Ying thought to herself that this saved her trouble, as she had wanted to gather the villagers for help anyway.
When they got home, Liu Lan and others had finished their work and were about to leave. Chen Zhang was still there and was surprised to see the carriage.
"Second daughter-in-law, did you buy this carriage?"
Chen Zhang opened her eyes wide, feeling both envious and distressed. How much would this cost?
The others also looked at Xiao Ying curiously. Being able to buy a carriage meant he was definitely rich.
“I bought it.”
Xiao Ying nodded, jumped off the ox cart, and left the rest to Chen Xinghai.
"Are our spicy sesame oil and spicy sauce selling well?"
Hearing her admit it, Wu Hong immediately thought of this and her eyes lit up.
If the two seasonings sell well, she can continue to make money here in the future, so of course she is happy.
Xiao Ying raised the corner of his lips slightly: "Everything we brought was sold, and we even reached an order with the largest Ruyi Restaurant in the county."
Glancing at the villagers who were either surprised or envious, Xiao Ying continued.
"Everyone is here, and I have something I want to ask for your help."
In order to complete such a large order, we must get help from the villagers.
