Chapter 624: The Vicious Villain
"It looks like there really is someone hiding in Sulizheng's cellar."
Su Zhengshi was so frightened that his head buzzed and he didn't know how to respond to Zhuang Qingning for a long time.
Zhuang Qingning didn't waste any time talking to Su Zhengshi. He stood up and walked towards the cellar.
Su Zhengshi immediately came to his senses and rushed to stop it, but was afraid that he could not stop it, so he called out to the wolfhound lying there and untied the rope around its neck.
Without the rope to restrain it, the wolfhound rushed directly towards Zhuang Qingning.
And Zhuang Qingning put a muzzle on the wolfdog that pounced on him almost in the blink of an eye.
The bloody mouth that had been able to open just now was now tied up tightly and could no longer be opened. The wolfdog felt uncomfortable and was frightened by Zhuang Qingning's action. It stepped back while trying to get the thing in its mouth with its front paws. Seeing that it couldn't get it out, it ran away with its tail between its legs in fear.
Su Zhengshi was stunned for a moment, then saw Zhuang Qingning, who had a gloomy face and walked towards him step by step. He even picked up a half brick nearby and crushed it in his hand, and retreated repeatedly.
Only when his back was against the wall and there was no way to retreat did he sit down on the ground and look at Zhuang Qingning in horror, "Manager Zhuang, I, I..."
"If we let him out now, maybe he can save his life. But if Suri is still stubborn and refuses to repent..." Zhuang Qingning picked up a small wooden stick nearby and threw it casually. The stick immediately pierced into the jujube tree next to him and was half-buried.
"I'm afraid that Sulizheng will end up worse than this date tree."
"Even if I don't take action here, Su Lizheng should know what will happen after he arrives at the county government office."
Su Zhengshi knew all this, and after hearing what Zhuang Qingning said, he trembled even more, with beads of sweat falling from his forehead. He kept saying to Zhuang Qingning, "I'll let him go right now, I'll let him go right now..."
After saying that, he crawled to the entrance of the vegetable cellar, moved away the wooden board blocking it, and walked down with his back bent.
Zhuang Qingning lit a fire and followed Su Zhengshi down.
Most vegetable cellars are dug in a pear shape, with a small entrance and spacious inside.
Zhuang Qingning took a few steps forward and pushed open a bamboo fence door, and saw a different world inside.
You still need to bend over, but the place is much wider. In addition to the summer radishes, mustard greens and other things inside, you can also see two figures who are tied up tightly and have their mouths stuffed.
It was Shang Chengen and Kugua.
The two of them were very nervous about someone coming into the vegetable cellar at this time, and subconsciously struggled to hide aside. Especially when they saw that the person was Su Zhengshi, in addition to anger, they also felt a bit more fear.
But when they saw Zhuang Qingning following behind them, the two of them looked at each other immediately.
Finally someone came to rescue them! If he hadn't been tied up at this moment, Shang Chengen felt that he might have cried bitterly while holding the bitter melon.
Su Zhengshi also hurriedly untied the ropes of Shang Chengen and Kugua, and led the two of them out.
I saw the warm sunlight again, stepped on the ground again, and especially washed all the dirt on my hands, feet and face again, and drank a cup of hot tea again.
Shang Chengen couldn't help but sniffle. He resisted the urge to kneel down in front of Zhuang Qingning and just bowed to Zhuang Qingning repeatedly to express his gratitude. "Thank you, Manager Zhuang, for saving my life."
"It's just a small favor, Manager Shang, you don't have to be polite." Zhuang Qingning said with a smile, "But why did Manager Shang fall to this point, and that Su Lizheng..."
Why did he change from someone who seemed honest and kind before to a villain who only cares about profit and even imprisoned Shang Chengen and Kugua?
“This story started three months ago.”
When Shang Chengen mentioned this, he also sighed, "Three months ago, someone suddenly came to me and said that he was the head of Fengjia Village, Feng Yongfu, and that Lord Ding had already agreed to open the noodle workshop in Fengjia Village and wanted Feng Yongfu to manage the workshop."
"But I jumped out from the middle and made this workshop mine. I stole something that originally belonged to Fengjiazhuang, so I have to return this workshop to them."
"I felt that this person was being unreasonable, so I ignored him. But he was relentless and kept following me wherever I went. He also kept shouting that I was rich but unkind, and that I was a complete profiteer who robbed the workshop in his village."
"When he saw that I didn't agree, he called a lot of people and sat in the No. 1 noodle shop in the world, filling up all the seats. But he didn't eat noodles. He just sat there. When he saw customers coming, he stared at them and didn't stop until he scared them away."
"I reported this to the authorities, and the runners came here and told those people off, and they left. But they came back the next day, and this continued for many days. I had no choice but to close the noodle shop."
"Feng Yongfu came to me again and said that if I didn't agree, they would come again as long as the noodle shop was open for another day, and they would definitely not let me off easily."
"I've been out there for so many years, and this is the first time I've seen such a shameless person. The more he acts like this, the more I won't agree. Even if I don't do business with him, I won't let these people succeed in their conspiracy."
"When Feng Yongfu saw that I refused to give in, he started to cry poor and say a lot of nice things. He even said that if I refused to return the workshop to them, he should at least let the people of Fengjiazhuang work in the workshop, so that the people in his village could at least have a meal."
"But I saw that the people in their village were either cunning or not diligent enough. In short, they were not suitable for working in a workshop, so I rejected his proposal."
"When Feng Yongfu saw me like that, he left in a rage. I thought he was going to give up because I wouldn't agree to his request. I was busy in the workshop until late that day and didn't return until it was completely dark. But as soon as I left the village, I was put in a sack and hit on the back of my head with a stick. I fainted."
"When I woke up, I found myself locked in the cellar with Bitter Melon. Feng Yongfu continued to threaten me to hand over the workshop. Su Zhengshi also threatened me to take out all the silver shares of the workshop."
"Feng Yongfu has always been a sinister villain. I've long been accustomed to it. But even Su Lizheng, who I've worked with for a long time and have a good impression of and trust very much, has had this thought. It's really hard for me to accept it."
