Chapter 345: Do something wrong and you have to pay the price
"Come on, take me to have a look."
Jiang Wan changed her clothes and didn't care about her still wet hair.
She suddenly missed Song Jiuyuan's internal strength, which could directly dry her hair.
While he was thinking, the carriage drove towards the city gate and the guard on duty gave a reminder.
"The city gates are about to close. Are you sure you want to go out? If you go out, you won't be able to come back tonight."
Qiu Niang immediately looked at Jiang Wan, who nodded and said, "It's okay, just come back early tomorrow."
She did not forget the agreement with Song Jiuyuan, and the two of them were going to go to Carpenter Cao's house together.
In this case, the guards naturally did not stop them and let them go. The carriage drove towards a small village next to the city.
On the way, Qiu Niang told Jiang Wan in a concise manner, "What that person stole was the essential oil extracted from flowers.
She probably thought it was a finished product, and she was afraid it was someone sent by the rival family."
In fact, Qiu Niang was right to worry, ever since Jiang Wan’s Wansi Pavilion became popular.
The business of many rouge shops in the city was hit hard because Jiang Wan also developed rouge as well as ancient versions of eyebrow pencil and lip balm.
She released them one by one, attracting ladies and girls in the city to rush to buy them.
Often, things are sold out as soon as they are put on the shelves.
It is possible that those people have evil ideas.
When we arrived at the village, the lights were on and no one in the village was asleep tonight.
In the huge yard, there was a woman tied up. When Qiu Yan saw Jiang Wan, she hurried over.
"girl."
When Jiang Wan glanced over, she saw everyone glaring angrily at the tied woman.
These people working here are all from nearby villages, and Jiang Wan treats them very well. It is a lot easier than being a farmhand, and the pay is not bad.
So, fearing that Jiang Wan's plan might be ruined, everyone said in a hurry:
"Dong, Dongzi's mother did something stupid, it has nothing to do with us."
"Mother Dongzi, why don't you quickly explain why you did this? We are all from the same village, you can't make everyone lose their jobs!"
"This stupid bitch deserves a beating!"
“…”
The men in the village were rough in nature, and Dong Zi's mother was so scared that she trembled and begged Jiang Wan for mercy.
"Boss, boss, you all misunderstood, I didn't steal anything!"
"We have all the evidence, don't try to play tricks!"
Qiu Yan shook a wine jug in her hand. This was something that Dong Zi’s mother had stolen.
Qiu Yan was quite excited because she finally demonstrated her own value.
Qiu Niang supported Jiang Wan with her hand. Jiang Wan had put on a veil before getting off the carriage, so the villagers only saw a fairy-like girl.
There was calmness in the girl's beautiful eyes as she only looked at Xia Ju on the side, the former Miss Ye San.
"Are you a witness?"
"Yes, Boss!"
Xia Ju suddenly knelt in front of Jiang Wan and frowned, saying, "I have noticed that something is wrong with Dong Zi's mother these past few days.
She is always absent-minded and looks around while working. Today, I found her stealing something."
"shit!"
Dong Zi's mother argued angrily, "You are talking nonsense, that wine pot is not mine, I didn't take it!"
"Everyone saw you take it, and you're still trying to make excuses!"
Qiu Yan kicked Dong Zi's mother, causing her to grimace in pain.
Jiang Wan said calmly to everyone, "Everyone go back and rest, we will handle this matter."
Knowing everyone's thoughts, Jiang Wan added, "Don't worry, as long as you don't know about it, it won't implicate anyone.
I hope everyone will be as brave as Miss Xia Ju when they see this kind of situation in the future and report it for a reward.”
"Don't worry, sir. Although we are rough people, we know that we shouldn't take things carelessly."
"Mother Dongzi is confused. This is such a good project. We can earn a lot of money every year. It's much more profitable than the stolen money."
"Let's go, let's not delay the boss."
“…”
The crowd dispersed in groups of three or four, leaving behind some people who were already living on the farm or keeping watch at night.
The night wind was a little chilly, and Qiu Niang said caringly, "Miss, let's go to the house to interrogate her."
"Um."
Jiang Wan walked into the house, and Dong Zi's mother was also dragged in by Qiu Yan.
She was tied up and forced by Qiu Yan to kneel in front of Jiang Wan.
"Tell me, who asked you to come?"
Jiang Wan slowly and methodically adjusted her skirt and sat down in the seat of honor gracefully.
Her demeanor made Dong Zi's mother feel ashamed. Since no one in the village was around, she did not argue and just said:
"Boss, I did all this, please don't vent your anger on my family!"
Her husband was in charge of tending the flowers and plants, and now her palms were sweating from nervousness.
"Why do you do that?"
Qiu Niang frowned and took note of Dong Zi's mother's strange behavior. It seemed that she had to check whether her family members were involved.
"My son Dongzi...is sick. I heard that the things in this shop are selling well, so I thought of stealing some and selling them for some silver."
She licked her lips subconsciously when she was nervous. Jiang Wan looked at her with a sharp gaze, "Who told you that this thing sells well?"
She never told the people in the village that they were making skin care products.
So Dong Zi's mother's words are full of loopholes.
Dong Zi's mother was stunned, her eyes flickered, "I'm not sure either, I just heard it."
"I heard?"
Jiang Wan sneered, "You don't even know what this is, and you're selling it?"
"You'd better tell the truth, or don't blame me for using extreme measures!"
Qiu Yan used to run a martial arts school, so he knew which part of the body hurt the most when hit.
Dong Zi's mother was so frightened that her face turned slightly pale, but she still said stubbornly: "I don't know what that thing is, but you can invite so many people, which means it's good!"
"Don't talk nonsense."
Jiang Wan fiddled with her fingertips. She had just finished washing up, and her fingers were smooth and slippery. She curled her lips and said:
"If she doesn't tell the truth again, Qiu Yan, go to the village and bring her husband and children."
"Boss, what are you going to do?!"
Dong Zi's mother was furious, her eyes were red, "Everyone has his own responsibility, I did all these things!
It has nothing to do with my family, boss, you can’t do this!”
"I'm not doing charity. If you do something wrong, you have to pay the price."
There was a hint of coldness in Jiang Wan's eyes, and Xia Ju was filled with admiration for her.
If she had been as powerful as Miss Jiang in the past, she wouldn't have been bullied by Ye Huan.
Dong Zi's mother was frozen in place, her eyes fixed on Qiu Yan, who was about to arrest someone, and she said hurriedly:
"Don't...don't go to them. I'll tell you everything."
"It would have been better if it had been like this earlier."
Qiu Yan rolled her eyes and walked back, standing in front of Dong Zi's mother with her hands folded.
It seemed that as long as she didn't say it, she could go out and find Dong Zi's family at any time.
Seeing this, Dongzi's mother swallowed and said, "My Dongzi is really sick. I didn't lie to you."
"Get to the point."
Jiang Wan frowned impatiently, and Dong Zi's mother said nervously:
"I don't know the identity of that person, I just know that he is a vicious person and he is not from our village."
