Chapter 80
Duan Lin pointed out one by one what the commoner youth Wang Chang did, most of which were theft and fraud.
Duan Lin pointed out one by one the actions of the commoner youth Wang Chang, most of which were theft and fraud.
Moreover, the stolen items were not of astronomical value, and the targets chosen were all wealthy people.
Therefore, most people did not report the case to the police, but chose to investigate privately or were too lazy to look for the perpetrators, which is why the perpetrators continue to remain at large.
But now that it came out of the government's mouth, the nature of the news was completely different. It was set in stone that Wang Chang would not be able to escape today!
"...You have accomplices who cooperated with you in these cases. They are now all imprisoned in the dungeon and have confessed without being asked." Duan Lin changed the subject: "At the same time, someone confessed that you poisoned Yue Ting yourself last month. Is this true?"
What? !
The old customers in the crowd, led by Zhao Liang and Li Xiong, opened their eyes wide. They have always believed in Xiao Yue and had just shouted their support.
I didn’t expect to hear such a thing now. This is not the same as stealing!
Xiao Yue just realized that this Wang Chang was the person who came to Yueting last time and drugged himself*.
Not only was there a thief from West Street as mentioned by Duan Lin, but he had also tampered with Yue Ting twice.
But poison?
Xiao Yue just thought that Duan Lin was wrong, or that Wang Chang's accomplices said this deliberately in order to drag others into the water. In short, the way she looked at Wang Chang now was no different from looking at a dead person.
"I……"
Wang Chang originally hoped to make excuses, but when he heard that his companions had been arrested and had betrayed him, he was discouraged.
Especially Xiao Yue's eyes made Wang Chang's legs tremble.
At the same time, hatred rose in his heart. As he watched a soldier coming over and trying to take him away, Wang Chang spoke loudly.
"I admit everything else! But someone told me to do this! Today's incident was also the same person behind the scenes! My whole family's lives are in his hands, and he threatened me if I didn't do it! Sir, please investigate!"
Xiao Yue paused, frowning even more tightly, and the next second he heard——
"It was Si Pu, the second young master of the Si family in Wei Ke Ju, who told me to do this!"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was complete silence all around.
Wang Chang continued, "He was the one who gave me the medicine last time! But for some reason it didn't work, so he came to me again this time and asked me to join forces with Madam Tao. Not only did he steal the purse, but he also asked us to play the victim! But I didn't expect a little girl to hear it. I thought it was no big deal, but Madam Tao was so cruel that she locked her up and said she couldn't let her be delayed..."
Wang Chang is really good at talking. He adds fuel to the fire and makes up stories with a mixture of truth and lies. He is determined to bring down the mastermind behind all this even when he is about to die.
The mastermind behind this is the second young master of the Si family, Si Pu.
An unexpected person, but very reasonable when you think about it.
The first time was to send someone to drug Yue Ting Zizhu quietly, and the second time was to join forces with others to slander Yue Ting Zizhu in an attempt to throw dirty water on Xiao Yue.
If she succeeded, not to mention how she would be scolded, her previous reputation would certainly be ruined.
Everyone would sneer after hearing this: So this is the boss of Yueting Buffet who appears generous on the surface but is actually petty-minded?
It's such an unexpected disaster!
The expressions of the people around were so interesting. Those who had initially been driven by anger to firmly believe in Madam Tao were now so ashamed that they wanted to escape.
Xiao Yue listened to the indignation coming from the crowd, looked at Wang Chang who was full of hatred and Madam Tao who was in despair... She suddenly smiled, but her smile was like a knife.
"I see. I have seen the methods of Wei Ke Ju. They are even worse than those of the sewer rats. I don't mind anyone coming to learn how to cook, but if it's Wei Ke Ju..."
Xiao Yue glanced at the crowd and handed Xu Qingwu, who was as quiet as if asleep, to Fang Sanhong. He gently covered her ears and continued speaking.
"From now on, if a dish from Yueting Buffet appears in your restaurant, I will come to your house and beat you like a dog just like I threw you, Si Pu, out the door that day, and let your Si family be happy to lose their son. By the way, I have always wanted to ask, how come you can't even copy the names of dishes? Is it because your brain is completely underdeveloped, or your cerebellum is not fully developed? There is a certain level of ugly sound. To a certain extent, you, Si Pu, can only do this kind of thing, right?"
In addition to the dishes that had been renamed before, Wei Ke Ju also secretly learned a lot of them and gave them all some weird names.
It's ridiculous.
Xiao Yue didn't bother to talk about manners and dignity, and didn't care who in the crowd was a member of the Si family who would definitely be there to watch the show. He just said, "Remember this and go back and tell your master that dogs are not welcome to learn how to cook at Yueting Zizhui in the future. Oh, no, you don't have a future, because I plan to get to the bottom of it."
The soldiers on one side couldn't help swallowing their saliva, and vaguely saw a figure at the outermost edge of the crowd leaving in a trance.
Xiao Yue sneered.
The outrageous incidents that Yueting has encountered since opening its self-service store include Zhang Mo and the man named Zheng.
Xiao Yue felt that he was never soft-hearted when handling things, and he made all the decisions on the spot on what to do.
Especially the man surnamed Zheng. The shop was closed when he came that day, but with people coming and going around, the news of her kick had already spread everywhere.
But I didn't expect that until today, there are still people who think Xiao Yue would be merciful when facing these things?
Xiao Yue looked at Duan Lin standing aside and said coldly, "Guard Duan arrived just in time. Today, Yue Ting's self-help was slandered for no reason, and one of the perpetrators even attempted to hurt people, which had a great impact on me physically and mentally. In addition, there was evidence that Si Pu was the mastermind of drugging my store last month. I have no doubts about this and I am sure it was him... Then please ask Guard Duan to deal with it strictly in accordance with the laws of Dachen Country. If you need any help or if the other party refuses to accept it, I will fight to the end."
"Also, Yueting Self-service indeed welcomes everyone to learn how to cook, but if there are any more people like Wei Ke Ju and Yan Ting Noodle House who learn how to cook but don't admit it... I will come to your door one by one and throw the food in your face. I mean what I say."
…
Today, Yanting Bridge is truly packed with water.
The officers and soldiers were afraid of hurting the civilians, so they worked hard to open a path for the people inside to get out.
As soon as the people saw the people in the lead who were being escorted, they immediately started spitting.
Especially Li Xiong. If Zhao Liang and Liu Meng hadn't held him on each side, he would have rushed up and kicked Wang Chang.
However, even as the two of them were pulling, they were still cursing.
The teacher of the academy sighed, and rarely did he lecture his two students. He just said, "It's really immoral..."
Taste guest house.
"My Lord, this is bad!!"
In the backyard, Si Pu was sitting in front of a chessboard. There was no one opposite him. He was holding the black piece in his hand alone. He paused for a moment when he heard the voice and turned to look at the person who came.
The man trembled, "Sir, Wang Chang betrayed you! He told you everything, and that woman surnamed Xiao knows about it, and the government knows about it too! She said she wants to hold him accountable, what should we do now!"
Si Pu frowned for only a moment before relaxing his brows, dropped the black spot, and said calmly: "So what if he knows? Wei Ke Ju has the support of the Si and Su families. The city lord Ren has always been reluctant to show up, so he won't offend her for a small commoner..."
Suddenly, a customer's exclamation was heard in the hall ahead, followed by approaching footsteps and a cold male voice.
"The government is investigating a case. Si Pu of the Si family bribed and instructed Wang Chang to poison Yue Ting on West Street. Today, he teamed up with three people from Yanting Noodle House to stage a slanderous act against its owner, Xiao Yue..."
Duan Lin's voice was without any unnecessary emotion, and he led a group of officers and soldiers directly to the bright backyard.
He immediately spotted the elegant-looking nobleman sitting on a stone bench and sneered.
"take away!"
Yueting self-help.
When Xiao Yue took Fang Sanhong and Fu Xunzhou back, the shop had closed as usual and was tidy.
"Sister Xiao!" Su Xiaoxiao heard the noise and immediately ran over from the backyard, her face full of worry.
Sun Wen and her sisters put down what they were holding and hurried here from the first floor.
Lu Ran was waiting in the front yard just now, followed all the way to the backyard, and asked: "How is it going?"
Xiao Yue didn't say anything. He walked into the room and put the sleeping Xu Qingwu on the bed. He looked at her for a while, then quietly closed the door and walked out.
As soon as he went out, facing a pair of worried eyes, Xiao Yue briefly explained what happened.
“…”
After hearing this, the sisters were stunned, and Sun Wen was so angry that she almost punched the wall.
"What kind of person is this! He goes to such great lengths to be so fearless, isn't it just because he has the support of the Si and Su families?"
Xiao Yue noticed Su Xiaoxiao's red eyes, put his arm around her shoulders, and said calmly: "Before we came back, Duan Lin took people to Wei Ke Ju. As for what happened after he was caught..."
To be honest, Xiao Yue didn't want to trust the government at first. After all, the Su and Si families were the most powerful families in Liuyun City.
It was not worth it for a newly appointed city lord to offend them for the sake of an ordinary Yue Ting - even if he had inexplicably given them a plaque before.
But inexplicably, Xiao Yue had a pretty good impression of this new city.
No, or rather it’s not that strange. Didn’t the government handle Fang Sanhong’s matter well before?
I remember Fang Sanhong said that the lord of Liuyun City was corrupt and inactive before the new lord came, but after the new lord took office, even his subordinates became much more efficient.
Therefore, Xiao Yue still believed in the government. Even if the final result was that the new city lord and the powerful Si family were in a stalemate and unable to convict, she would insist on pursuing the matter to the end.
But to be honest, Xiao Yue has already won.
Because after today, how can Wei Ke Ju still have any reputation?
Si Pu wanted to use Yan Ting Noodle House to make the customers on West Street think that Xiao Yue was two-faced, so that they would misunderstand and hate him, and finally reap the benefits.
But now that the truth has been revealed, Si Pu thought that everything that happened would be reported back to Wei Ke Ju - he used the people as a weapon, and now the weapon hit him.
However, Xiao Yue was still a little puzzled, that is, why did Si Pu come to Madam Tao just because of a simple conflict before...
Just as he was thinking about it, Fu Xunzhou, who had been silent, spoke.
"What will happen after he is caught?" He seemed to be explaining something, but also seemed to have other meanings: "According to the laws of Dachen Country, he will be temporarily detained and interrogated. In serious cases, his family will be implicated and punished together. If something else is found out... It is not impossible for the Si family to disappear overnight."
Xiao Yue was stunned for a moment. He felt that Fu Xunzhou's voice had not changed, but it was inexplicably low and cold.
Yes, he only realized what happened halfway through, and any normal person would be angry about it.
Xiao Yue looked at the equally angry people and tried to comfort them: "Anyway, Yue Ting Zizhu was fine, but Wei Keju will be in trouble next."
However, since the Si family has come forward to protect Si Pu, the government will certainly take the opportunity to conduct a thorough investigation into the Si family. Who would believe that such a large family has no dirty deeds?
She will just wait for the government to investigate and take a hard step when necessary.
Xiao Yue felt a little relieved and asked everyone to go eat first.
At the dinner table.
Lu Ran glanced at Fang Sanhong who was carrying the food to the room, and said thoughtfully: "What about Xiao Wu now..."
Madam Tao was not the mastermind, but she brought this upon herself. She and her two uncles were just taken away by soldiers. It is not known what the consequences will be.
What about Xu Qingwu?
“Speaking of this…” Xiao Yue put down his chopsticks and sneered: “At that time, Xiao Wu’s uncle kowtowed to me and asked me to take good care of her.”
Xiao Yue felt so nauseous that she almost vomited her breakfast. She didn't bother to care about it and left quickly.
Fu Xunzhou lowered his eyes to look at her angrily and commented: "He is just pretending. Don't pay attention to him. Let's eat first."
Xiao Yue nodded, was angry for a moment, and then continued to pick up the chopsticks.
