Those who were picking vegetables, watching the fun, and closing their stalls to go home were all unconsciously led astray by the little beggar.
The food would eventually run out, and the little beggar finally threw away the bamboo basket, turned into the alley next to him, and disappeared in an instant.
The young man in plain clothes ran over and picked up the bamboo basket, still looking for the little beggar in despair.
Seeing that there was nothing exciting to watch, the onlookers were about to disperse when they heard someone shout, "The eldest lady of the Sun family is distributing food. Hurry up and get some! If you're late, you won't be able to grab any!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and found that the young man in plain clothes carrying a hollow bamboo basket was already running towards the source of the sound. It seemed that the place where the food was distributed was over there.
A single stone stirs up a thousand waves. What good day is today? I picked up some vegetables and someone even distributed some food. Now I have everything I need for meals.
While they were racing passionately, someone else was making a logical analysis: "I heard that the eldest daughter of the Sun family is getting married. Maybe she wants to do good deeds. Otherwise, with the Sun family's ruthless nature, they wouldn't let others take advantage of them."
When everyone heard this, they thought it made sense. They usually suffered a lot of losses when buying food from Sun Ji. Thinking of this, they couldn't help but quicken their pace and run harder.
When everyone arrived, they saw the young man in plain clothes holding up a bamboo basket and running in the opposite direction. However, his bamboo basket was filled with a whole bag of grain. Even with a hole in it, it must have weighed about forty or fifty kilograms.
Everyone took off their coats to wrap the food, cursing and accusing the brat of having no martial ethics.
You take whatever you want without paying. How disrespectful! No wonder your vegetables were stolen!
Fortunately, after the temperature dropped, everyone put on padded jackets or thin cotton jackets. With several layers on, it was not a problem to wrap some food.
The crowd was clamoring and pushing each other to grab the food on the shelves. The smell was obviously this year's new food. It was a rare opportunity that only came once in ten years, so they had to pack more.
At this time, a servant who was sweeping the yard heard something strange coming from here, as if there was some noise outside.
He quickly told the servant about his discovery to see if he should inform the eldest lady.
Miss Sun has a bad temper. If something really happens to her, they won't be able to bear the consequences.
The servant was well versed in survival techniques and hurried to report the abnormality.
The maid frowned and reported in a low voice, "The servant said there was some unusual movement in the storeroom. Miss, please go over and take a look."
Sun Manqi doesn't like dealing with her in-laws, and the gap between the rich and the poor is even more apparent during meals. Only Zhao Yan can see through this in the family.
Hearing the maid's words, Sun Manqi stood up impatiently and walked towards the warehouse.
Sun Manfu originally came to get food, and only after he had eaten and drunk his fill did he remember to do his business, so he followed his sister.
The Zhao family wanted to see the world, so they followed closely.
As we approached the warehouse, the noisy sounds became clearer.
The key to the warehouse was in the hands of Sun Manqi alone. She sensed something was wrong and hurriedly opened the lock on the door. All she saw was collapsed walls and a chaotic scene.
The howling north wind blew in through the holes, and food was scattered everywhere, being looted by the people. There was very little food left on the shelves.
Sun Manqi staggered and leaned against the doorframe. Sun Manfu pushed his sister, who was in the way, aside and rushed into the warehouse, shouting at the people who hadn't had time to retreat, "How dare you! Put down the food! I'm going to have the government arrest you all, you greedy fools!"
It was already dark at this time. There were so many people here that they couldn't see their faces anyway. They ignored Sun Manfu's shouting and grabbed the corn kernels on the ground and threw them at Sun Manfu.
You, a black-hearted grain merchant, still want to arrest us? Pah! You are really the thief crying "stop thief" and you have no shame!
Sun Manfu dodged in a hurry and didn't see who hit him, which made him very angry.
Seeing everyone disperse, Sun Manfu was unwilling to endure this injustice. Since he couldn't take the food away today, he simply went to the government office to report.
Zhao Yan embraced his fiancée and soothed her with gentle words. Sun Manqi was so angry that he cried, and at this moment he had no time to care about his angry elder brother.
The servant drove the carriage quickly on the road and soon arrived at the gate of the county government office.
Seeing that the yamen was pitch black, Sun Manfu knew that it was time to leave. However, he was not discouraged and ordered the servant to beat the drum to wake up the officer on duty. He had to report the case today.
The servant went and banged the drum. The night was already quiet, but the sound was so loud that it could be heard for miles around.
Sun Manfu felt that he had recently offended Tai Sui. Why was everything going wrong? He was fine just a few days ago.
When did all this bad luck start? It seemed to have started when I ran into that beautiful girl in the restaurant.
When he thought of that little beauty, Sun Manfu smacked his lips in regret. He remembered what the store owner had told him about this person's identity and why she married that nerd named Su. It was really a waste of a talent.
As the saying goes, don’t think about people during the day and don’t think about ghosts at night. The little beauty that Sun Manfu has been thinking about is here!
The lawyer on duty was leisurely drinking wine, eating peanuts and boiling edamame, but the sound of drums interrupted his pleasant drinking. He thought it was really bad luck that the drum might not sound once a month, and it happened to bother him when he was on duty.
When the servant saw the legal advisor and the yamen runners coming out, he hurriedly and respectfully went to greet them, explaining in detail the reason for beating the drum, fearing that he would be arrested and beaten with a stick.
The three people here were discussing the case, completely unaware that the plaintiff in this case was being beaten up by the mastermind behind the scenes.
Han Zeyu, wearing his favorite nightgown, knocked Sun Manfu unconscious with a chop of his knife, dragged him into an alley and beat him up, focusing his main attack on that wretched face.
After looting all the dead embryos, Han Zeyu left with satisfaction.
The lawyer understood the whole story. Although he didn't know how the wall collapsed, he knew that the nature of the case was indeed serious.
But according to today's laws, it is still unknown whether the law can hold everyone responsible. In any case, the Sun family cannot do it, and neither can the small county government.
So most likely, the Sun family can only swallow this loss in silence.
The servant didn't dare to tell the truth, so he begged the master to talk to the eldest young master in person.
The lawyer nodded in agreement. In a case like this where there are so many people involved and no specific suspects can be identified, it would be difficult to catch a few typical cases.
When they reached the carriage, the servant lifted the curtain and found that there was no one inside. Thinking that the eldest young master had gone out to relieve himself, he hurried to look for him.
After a moment, the servant cried out in surprise: "Master! What's wrong with you? Don't scare me!"
Hearing the servant's terrified cry, the legal advisor and the yamen runner who were talking hurried over. When they saw Sun Manfu's miserable condition, they couldn't help but gasp.
This thief is too cruel. Although the eldest young master of the Sun family was not handsome, it is no exaggeration to say that he looks completely different now.
The lawyer took another look at Sun Manfu's miserable condition and hissed in toothache. It was truly inhumane, cruel and horrible!
