Chapter 279 The Savior Arrives
Furthermore, if Deng Jiliang had not given them advance notice, saying that he would definitely be able to find the poison and then just take the Jiang family away without them having to put in any effort, they would not have dared to come.
As a result, the drugs were not found.
Deng Jiliang also took advantage of his power and let them torture the Jiang family severely.
How can you say this in front of so many people?
The two men were held up high, unable to get down from the stage. They were already angry, and then Feng Biao came again.
They were terrified.
I don't know what to say.
"Old Four, go call Manager Lu and tell him that I called you. Since you said the food in Jiang's canteen is poisonous, then check it out thoroughly. I eat here every day. If it's poisonous, I'm afraid there would be a lot of toxins accumulated in my body.
Lao Ba, go to the clinic and ask a doctor to come. The coroner is in the county government office. It's a long way from Chang'an Town, but the doctor is almost the same. Let him take a look at the body to see if the person died of poisoning, or what kind of poison he was poisoned by."
Feng Biao gave instructions to several of his men.
The original situation was reversed in an instant.
Zhang Jinlan, who had never experienced such a thing before, was so frightened that her legs went limp.
No matter how powerful or how shrewd she was, she was still just a peasant. How could she have seen such a sinister thing?
Looking at the corpses in the yard, she felt a chill run down her spine.
If Feng Biao hadn't come, I'm afraid they would have been taken away by the police.
Jiang Fubao, who was pretending to cry, stopped pretending. She hugged Feng Biao's neck and sat on his arms.
He raised his chin and looked at Deng Jiliang and Ma Liu opposite him.
Seems to be saying.
You are finished!
"Everyone, please stay and read on. Someone died in our shop today. As the shopkeeper, I must get to the bottom of this. This is not only a matter of life and death, but it also affects the reputation of our shop. If I can't get to the bottom of this, you won't dare to eat in my shop in the future.
I can guarantee that I, Zhang, have never done anything against the will of heaven and earth. I can also say that I don’t even know these two people…”
Zhang Jinlan saw someone wanted to leave.
He immediately stood in the yard and stopped them loudly.
With someone on guard, and since nothing was found in the shop, her panic had faded away, and she became much more confident.
"You may not know him, but I do. He is Landlord Deng's younger brother, Deng Jiliang. He does nothing but eat and drink with his brother. I wonder if you have any grudges against Landlord Deng?"
Feng Biao is very familiar with the people in the town.
Before, Landlord Deng had asked their escort agency to deliver things.
Feng Biao had already put Jiang Fubao down. He sat alone on the chair, crossing his legs, looking fearless.
After saying this, he raised his eyelids towards Deng Jiliang.
Very provocative.
"Celebrating a festival? It's true. There were rumors of ghosts coming out of our shop before..." Zhang Jinlan quickly told him about how they sold the myna to the landlord Deng.
Of course, I only gave a brief overview without mentioning the details.
No one said anything, including how much the starling was sold for.
"That's all. It seems that Landlord Deng lost his bird and didn't want to waste his money, so he wanted to find you guys to trouble him. But, he is too cruel. How could he kill someone to frame him? I have to talk to Manager Lu about this later."
Things are falling into place.
Feng Biao came to a conclusion.
When Landlord Deng failed to get the money back, he sent his younger brother to frame the Jiang family.
"That's not the case. You, the Jiang family, sold a broken bird for a whopping price. That's four hundred taels of silver. Four hundred taels, a full four hundred taels!! My eldest brother suspected that you had trained the bird in advance, which is why the bird flew away just after my eldest brother bought it back. My eldest brother came to look for you, but what did you do?
They chased my elder brother away! Look, everyone, this Jiang family is not a kind person at all. Don't be fooled by their pitiful appearance. What happened today has nothing to do with my elder brother. I admit that Ma Liu is my good brother, but the one lying on the ground is his own elder brother. How could he kill his own brother to help me? "
Deng Jiliang was worried that the truth would be exposed.
He began to bring the topic towards the four hundred taels.
He then brought up Ma Liu’s elder brother.
Unfortunately, what he didn't notice was that Ma Liu next to him had a hint of resentment in his eyes.
"I was wondering why someone suddenly died, and happened to die in Jiang's shop. Could it be that you were resentful of my eldest brother for coming to find you, or were worried that your training of the birds to fly away in advance would be exposed, so you wanted to poison us? Coincidentally, I hadn't arrived yet, and Ma Liu went to buy meat buns, so the two of us escaped."
The more he spoke, the more distorted his words became.
It was as if the Jiang family were really those evil people who wanted to kill them for a bird.
"What? A bird sold for four hundred taels? How greedy! They are simply profiteers. It's my fault that I just spoke up for them. My family can't earn four hundred taels in our lifetime."
"I think what he said makes sense. It must be because of the murder for 400 taels."
"I was there when the bird spoke, and I really imitated it. You don't understand. The price is not expensive at all. If it were brought to the imperial city, I'm afraid those rich young men would be willing to buy it for five or six hundred taels."
"Indeed, my cousin's family bought a green parrot for more than two hundred taels. It can only say four words: 'I want to eat.'"
Dozens of voices mixed together.
Everyone was discussing the matter of the four hundred taels.
The crowd was divided into two groups.
One group thought that the Jiang family was a black-hearted business, and they killed people out of fear that their secret would be exposed. As for Zhang Jinlan's statement that she didn't know them, these people pretended not to hear it and thought that Zhang Jinlan was deliberately pretending not to know them.
There is also a group of people who think that four hundred taels is a reasonable price. For a talking mynah bird that is imitated so realistically, four hundred taels is a bargain.
These people happened to be the ones who often came to Jiang's snack shop to eat.
Therefore, I have a better understanding of the Jiang family.
"Children don't lie. I'm afraid it's true that Landlord Deng sent people to monitor the Jiang family."
"So what if it's true? Maybe they want to find their starling. Who said they must be monitored? Besides, even a three-year-old child can see someone monitoring them. Just now, Zhang said she didn't know him. Isn't it strange? It's totally contradictory. I stand with Landlord Deng's brother. Four hundred taels to buy a broken bird. If it were me, I would be furious."
"Foolish man, who in the city doesn't know who Landlord Deng is and how many bad things he has done? A man like him, his whole family is bad, how can his brother be a good person? Look at the shabby clothes you are wearing, even if you sell your whole family, it's not worth four hundred taels. I'm afraid you haven't heard how the mynah bird can mimic others? You are a fool who can't tell right from wrong."
"Who are you scolding?"
"I'm going to scold you. Come fight me if you dare, you little bastard."
On the stairs, the two started arguing.
One of them was someone Jiang Fubao was very familiar with: Liu Yanzhi, the shopkeeper who often visited his shop.
He had bullied the boss before and was taught a lesson by Jiang Fubao.
Later he reformed and apologized to the boss.
Is a good person.
