Chapter 74: The Mastermind Must Be Uncovered



Once Su Yanqing's identity was revealed, everyone naturally chose to believe what he said.

But there are still some people who don't quite believe it. They think that the second young master of Jishan Hall should stay in a big city like Jeju Prefecture, so why would he appear in this remote town?

After hearing Su Yanqing's identity, the troublemaker became extremely flustered. He moved his hand from his stomach to his belly guiltily, but he was still making excuses.

"You said you were the second son of Jishan Hall, are you? Do you have any evidence to prove it?"

Upon hearing this, Su Yanqing chuckled and took out a wooden badge from his waist. It was made of the finest sandalwood and had the three big characters "Jishantang" engraved on it.

"This waist badge of mine is only for the doctors in the Jishan Hall. The general doctors use yellow wood, but mine is made of the finest red sandalwood. It is proof of my identity."

There were indeed some people in the crowd who had been to the Jishan Hall branch in Huaxi County for medical treatment, so they knew that what Su Yanqing said was true.

So, he stood up to testify:

"What this young master said is true. I have been to the Jishan Hall branch in Huaxi County to see patients several times. I am familiar with the doctor Liu there. He does have a waist plaque made of yellow wood with the words Jishan Hall engraved on it. Moreover, judging from his extraordinary demeanor, I think he is indeed the second young master of Jishan Hall. You are a scoundrel. It is really shameful for you to cheat people in broad daylight."

Because of this brother's testimony, everyone has completely believed in Su Yanqing's identity and has no doubts about what he said.

The man who was causing the trouble suddenly turned pale. He knew that if he didn't try to escape now, he would suffer a loss, so he stood up and prepared to leave:

"Well, I suddenly feel that my stomach doesn't hurt anymore, so let's forget about this matter today."

"Stop, you can't leave yet!"

Seeing that he was about to run away, Jiang Sui shouted at him and blocked his way.

Seeing this, the troublemaker became even more flustered:

"You are such a difficult girl. I told you I won't bother you anymore, but you won't let me go. So, can't I just give you the money for the noodles? Let's just forget about it!"

As he spoke, he began to take out money and counted out seventeen copper coins from his purse and gave them to her.

But Jiang Sui will not let it go like this. She has to take the money and cannot let this person go. She must find out the mastermind behind the scenes and teach him a lesson before she can keep quiet.

This incident was a good opportunity to make an example of someone and let other people on the street who were dissatisfied see that their Xiaoji Noodle Stall was not easy to fool.

She handed the copper coin to Lan Lan. Xiao Yi saw that his fourth brother's wife was not going to give up, so he walked over and stood beside her, completely blocking the way of the troublemaker.

"I have also paid the money, can you please move aside?" The man was in a hurry to leave.

"You should have given me the money. There is nothing wrong with my fans. But you must have been instructed to cause trouble here today. You'd better tell me the truth. Who told you to do this? Otherwise, you will have to follow me to the head of the pavilion today. I will sue you for intentional trouble-making and slander."

Jiang Sui didn't seem to be joking, and her beautiful almond-shaped eyes looked at him sharply.

The troublemaker didn't expect that this young lady was so difficult to deal with and actually insisted on getting to the bottom of the matter. However, her threats were so scary that she even went to the head of the pavilion to report him.

According to the stubborn mind of the head of Baima Town, he will probably have to be locked up for a few days. He doesn't want to get himself into trouble because of this. The worst that can happen is that he won't make any money.

"Okay, okay, you're awesome, am I afraid you're not good enough? But I have something to say, you can ask me to tell you who it is, but don't drag me down with you."

"Okay, tell me who it is. I won't blame you. I will only cause trouble for that person." Jiang Sui thought to himself, this guy is not very tough and is also a coward.

As expected, whether in ancient times or modern times, reporting to the authorities when something happens is the most useful and deterrent method.

"It's Mr. He from the He Ji Noodle Stall. He gave me 200 coins and asked me to come to your place to cause trouble. Then I can just complain of stomachache after eating and blame your family for not cooking clean food. This will ruin the reputation of your hot and sour noodles. I can also take the opportunity to extort medical expenses from you."

It turned out to be Boss He, Jiang Sui knew it.

When Xiao Yi heard the result, he instantly became furious. He rolled up his sleeves and left to catch someone.

When Boss He's wife heard in the crowd that the matter could no longer be concealed, she hurried back to her stall to report the news so that her husband could escape quickly.

But Xiao Yi was a long-limbed guy, and by the time she got back and hadn't even finished her words, he had already arrived.

"Mr. He, you have a really evil mind. Come on, follow me to the government office."

Xiao Yi came up and grabbed the man without saying a word. He didn't pay attention to the fact that Boss He was grimacing in pain and kept shouting:

"Someone, help, someone is killing someone."

Seeing this, Boss He's wife didn't care anymore and ran up to beat Xiao Yi, but it didn't hurt Xiao Yi at all.

"Get out of the way. I don't hit women easily, but I won't let your man go either."

So, Xiao Yi forcibly took Boss He to the stall, and the man who was causing the trouble was stopped by Mr. Zeng and could not leave. The incident here had become a big deal and had spread throughout the town. More and more people came to watch, and someone even invited the head of the pavilion to come.

"Madam boss, you said you wouldn't drag me into this, why aren't you letting me go even after I've explained everything?" The troublemaker became extremely anxious when he saw that they had no intention of letting him leave.

"You still have to stay and testify. How can I let you go so easily?"

Here, Boss He was so frightened by the scene that his legs went weak, but he still insisted:

"You, you dare to do this to me, believe it or not, I will go to the head of the pavilion to complain?"

Xiao Lanlan almost laughed out loud when she heard this, and she put her hands on her hips and retorted:

"You sent someone to cause trouble here and ruin our business. We are planning to sue you. Just wait for your punishment!"

"Who wants to complain to me?"

As soon as Xiao Lanlan finished speaking, a vigorous voice was heard. Everyone looked over and saw an old man in a blue-gray robe walking over, accompanied by two yamen runners.

The man looked to be about fifty years old, with a long beard and a thin build, but he gave people a sense of integrity.

This is the headman of Baima Town, who is responsible for handling civil disputes in the town and surrounding villages. He is in charge of all matters, big or small, in Baima Town. He is highly respected because he is fair and honest.

"Ting, Pavilion Chief? It's over, it's over..."

When the man who was causing trouble saw him coming, he closed his eyes and covered his face.

This guy is here. It seems he can’t leave today. I’ll have to stay in for a few days anyway.
