Chapter 367 Wan Lao Er confirmed that the other party was an old acquaintance
Old Mrs. Wan was not too shocked by this. After all, she felt that the well water in her home was indeed better than that of other people's. This was recognized by the people in the village, so it was reasonable that the things made from it would be good.
Mrs. Wan didn't say anything, and the second son of Wan continued, "Mom, in order to clarify my guess, I plan to go to the town to take a look tomorrow."
Wan Laoer plans to force Mr. Zhou to reveal his address tomorrow. He will wait outside his house for a whole day. He doesn't believe that he won't find any clues. If it really is that Fatty Zhou, they are really enemies.
"Okay, go find out tomorrow. If it's really that person, we should take precautions early. He's obviously not a good person. He looks like a mean man who has achieved success and looks down on others. He deserves to have no business. Don't you think the people of the Cheetah Sect are really blind? How can they do business with such a person?"
"Mom, when the Cheetah Clan does business, they will definitely look at who is more valuable and can make them money before they will cooperate with them. And back then, everything was in chaos, not like now. Without those gangs and factions, our lives are much more comfortable, and the people in the village live a much calmer life than before. Everything is going in a good direction."
"Hmph, no matter what, it's all thanks to Mo'er. If he hadn't stepped in to solve the problem, who knows how long this border would have been in chaos. Okay, go to bed quickly. We need to rest too."
Wan Lao Er was directly driven out by Wan Lao Tai.
"Take good care of your wife. I think she's still not feeling well. Don't be so sleepy in the middle of the night. Be more considerate to her."
"I understand, mother."
The next morning, Wan Lao Si and Wan Lao Er got up early.
"Old Four, I just need to go to town. I'll take you there. When you get to town, you can take a carriage to the county town, and then go to the prefectural capital. Not many people go to the prefectural capital here. This is silver, a total of three hundred taels of silver notes. This is all the cash we have at home. If you like a shop, pay a deposit and rent it. We can't afford to buy a shop now. We'll talk about it when we make money."
"Brother, you don't need so much silver. It's inconvenient for me to carry so much silver when I'm traveling alone. I'll have to come back soon. Just take 100 taels of silver as a deposit, and keep the rest at home. We'll be paying everyone soon, and someone will come to deliver potatoes from time to time, which all requires money."
Wan Laosi took out a banknote from the banknote given by Wan Laoer and returned the rest to him.
"But when you're out, you're poor at home but rich on the road. This one hundred taels of silver is not enough to go to the city. You need to bring another hundred taels. We don't know what the housing prices in the city are. But the houses in the town are all one hundred taels, so the ones in the city must be more expensive. If you can rent it, just rent it directly, without any more trouble."
Wan Laosi thought it was okay, so he took another hundred taels.
"Second brother, what are you doing in town?" Wan Laosi suddenly asked.
"I suspect we have met Mr. Zhou before, as those people mentioned yesterday, so I'm going to take a look. If it's really him, we need to be more cautious. He's not someone you want to mess with."
Wan Lao Er repeated to Wan Lao Si what he had said to Wan Lao Tai last night.
Wan Lao Si was extremely surprised: "What? Know each other? How come I don't know? When did it happen?"
"You didn't go at that time. It was when my mother and I went to the mayor's house that we met Mr. Zhou at the door of the mayor's house. Something bad happened between him and us at that time, but I think this incident should have nothing to do with the last one. He should not know our family. This time is purely a coincidence. But if we meet, he will definitely recognize us, so I want to confirm first whether they are the same person."
"Okay, second brother, we need to be cautious about this matter. After all, we are at a critical moment now. We need to be careful in what we do and beware of villains stabbing us in the back."
Wan Laoer nodded and went to the woodshed where the people were imprisoned. As soon as he entered, he was greeted by the strong smell of feces and urine, which almost made Wan Laoer vomit.
"You guys are so dirty. How can you urinate and defecate anywhere?" Wan Laoer's face turned black. He even made their woodshed dirty.
After being shocked by Wan Laoer's words, several people's faces turned red and white, and they all lowered their heads in embarrassment, feeling completely ashamed.
"You, you said last night that your master is Mr. Zhou from the town. Tell me your home address and I will take you back home."
Wan Laoer looked disgusted, covered his nose and stood far away. The room was not big to begin with, and was filled with the smell of urine, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
When they heard this, they were overjoyed. As long as Wan Laoer sent them home, they would bring people to tear down Wan Laoer's house. How dare a peasant like him go against Master Zhou? He was simply courting his own death.
Uncle Zhong quickly told the detailed address. He thought he would be taken out by Wan Laoer, but Wan Laoer slammed the door and locked it again.
"Master, what do you mean? Didn't you say you would take us home? Are you lying to us?" Uncle Zhong then realized that he had been fooled by Wan Laoer.
"Humph, I'll send you home so you can bring people to avenge me? You wishful thinking, just wait for your life in jail. When I go to the town and see your Master Zhou, I will inform him and ask him to take you to the jail. As for whether the county magistrate releases you or not, that has nothing to do with me."
Wan Laoer let out a loud "Pooh" at the inside.
Suddenly there were voices of threats and scolding in the room, but Wan Laoer had no time to deal with them and would deal with them when he came back.
Wan Laoer drove the ox cart and took Wan Laosi to the town.
When they arrived at the town, Wan Laoer dropped Wan Laosi off at the town entrance and took a horse-drawn carriage to the county town, and then transferred to another carriage from the county town to the provincial capital.
Wan Laoer went to Zhou's house.
Although the Zhou family has not had any business for nearly a year, they are still wealthy. Moreover, Mr. Zhou's hometown is not in the town, but in the provincial capital. This is just one of his many mansions.
Wan Laoer sat on the ox cart, staring at the Zhou family's gate from afar.
But he was lucky. He didn't have to wait long before he saw a fat man coming out of his house with a bird cage in his hand. What shocked Wan Laoer was that there was a crow in the cage. This made him feel a little...
Wan Laoer couldn't figure it out, but it didn't stop him from looking at the person. This time he was sure that the person was Zhou Biao whom he met at the door of the mayor's house last time.
Wan Lao Er glanced at the other person's back coldly and was about to leave when he heard Zhou Biao's voice asking the housekeeper: "Housekeeper, you sent someone out to get information yesterday, but the person hasn't come back yet? Maybe something went wrong. Send someone to check again today. You must find out the situation over there. If that doesn't work, use some extraordinary means."
Wan Lao sneered and whispered, "Come on, I will send you all to jail."
After Wan Laoer confirmed the target, he drove the ox cart back without lingering. He had to go back and discuss with the village chief. It seemed that he would have to use patrol teams at the entrance of the village in the future to verify the identities of everyone coming in to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation.
