Wang said with some worry, "I'm worried about leaving this man here. What if he finds a way to escape?"
Qibao said, "I'll have the white wolf watch him. If he dares to move, the white wolf will bite him to death!"
The white wolf listened to its master and walked up to the man. The man had not observed carefully before because the situation was urgent. Now he saw that there were two white wolves. If it was usual, he might not be afraid, but he was tied up now and his hands were powerless. He couldn't run away. The girl also let the wolf watch him. If the wolf went crazy, biting him to death would be a piece of cake.
Seeing that the family was about to leave and actually abandon him with the two wolves, he was immediately frightened out of his wits and shouted, "I won't run away, I absolutely won't run away. Please take this wolf away, it will kill me!"
Qibao said, "Don't worry, the white wolves won't bother to eat you. If you keep yelling like that, I can't guarantee I won't let them eat you!"
The man immediately shut up and huddled up in a ball, shaking. He had seen that the white wolf listened to the little girl. If he angered her, the wolf would probably bite him to death. The more he thought about it, the more he regretted it. Why did he target this family? If he had left immediately after hearing the news, he wouldn't have ended up in this situation!
The other members of the Xu family went back to the house to sleep, as there were still many things to do tomorrow!
Early the next morning, the Xu family threw the man who had been freezing on the ground all night into the carriage. The man was a little weak and asked in panic, "What are you going to do?"
Uncle Xu said, "I'll take you to where you should go!"
The old man said, "Shut his mouth and don't let him scare the villagers. I will go to the town with you today!"
Qibao said, "Grandpa, I'm going too. I also need to go to Leshan Pharmacy to see how the pills are selling!"
So the Xu family's carriage was really packed. Fortunately, the man named An Jiu was lying on the floor of the carriage and didn't take up much space. Xiao Wu even put his feet on that man.
When they arrived in the town, Uncle Xu asked the children to get off the carriage and go to school by themselves, while he drove the carriage towards Zuixianlou.
When they arrived at the door of Zuixianlou, Uncle Xu did not get off the carriage. Instead, the old man went into Zuixianlou, found Manager Tong, and told him what had happened.
When Manager Tong came out, he saw Uncle Xu sitting on the shaft of the carriage. He went over and lifted the curtain and saw a man in black lying in the carriage.
So he asked with concern: "No one in your family was injured last night?"
The old man said, "No, luckily we found out early. You know my granddaughter is quite skilled, so she attacked that man by surprise, so we were able to catch him. Otherwise, we might not even be able to see the sun today!"
Shopkeeper Tong was a little scared. If anything happened to the Xu family, he thought his master would be very angry and would probably take his anger out on him.
The more Tong the shopkeeper thought about it, the angrier he got. He said, "Come on, I'll go with you to the government office. Not only will you be rewarded for your merit, but you'll also get some silver!"
The old man asked, "What does Shopkeeper Tong mean by this?"
Shopkeeper Tong explained, "Because this man is responsible for two deaths, not to mention the murder of a young child, the county magistrate is very concerned about his capture. He has promised a reward of 100 taels for anyone who reports information about him, and 500 taels for anyone who can capture him and bring him to the government office!"
The old man said, "I see. Then what are we waiting for? Send this man to the yamen as soon as possible so that we can have peace of mind sooner!"
Shopkeeper Tong said, "Let's go together!"
Uncle Xu drove the carriage towards the county government office again.
When they arrived at the county government office, Manager Tong got off the carriage. The two yamen runners guarding the door also saw Manager Tong. One of them stepped forward and asked, "It's Manager Tong. I wonder what brings you here today?"
Shopkeeper Tong also politely replied: "I am here to see your county magistrate today. I wonder if the county magistrate is here?"
The yamen runner replied, "Yes, I'll go and inform them. Shopkeeper Tong, please wait here..."
Shopkeeper Tong nodded, and the man trotted towards the yamen.
Not long after, the county magistrate came out, followed by the bailiff who had made the announcement.
County Magistrate Wu said with a smile, "Why are Shopkeeper Tong and the old man here today? Come inside and sit down!"
Shopkeeper Tong said, "I came to see County Magistrate Wu today for something important to do. The gangster who was colluding with Shopkeeper Yipinxian to commit the crime has been apprehended!"
County Magistrate Wu asked in surprise, "There's been no news of this man, how come he was suddenly caught?"
Old Master Xu bowed and said politely, "This man sneaked into my house in the middle of the night yesterday and almost killed my family..."
Then, the old man told Magistrate Wu what happened last night.
County Magistrate Wu was also very angry when he heard this. He said, "Is this man provoking the government? He knows we are looking for him, but he still comes back to commit crimes. Is this man in the carriage?"
The old man said, "Yes, in the carriage. We have tied his hands and feet. He can't run away!"
The county magistrate said to the two gatekeepers, "You two, take this criminal down here and put him in the cell first. Send a few more people to watch him!"
"yes!"
Two yamen runners escorted the man off the carriage. The man was still struggling, so one of the runners kicked him and shouted, "Behave yourself!"
The man passed by the Xu family, looked at them with hatred, and was then taken in by the yamen runners!
County Magistrate Wu said, "Manager Tong and the old man, please come in for a cup of tea. I don't have the reward money with me. I also want to thank the Xu family for helping us catch this man and solving a case for the yamen!"
Shopkeeper Tong waved his hand and said, "No, I have things to attend to at Zuixianlou, so I won't stay any longer!"
Mr. Xu also said politely, "County Magistrate, we will not take this money. Please use it to help some poor families, as a token of good karma for the father and son who died unjustly!"
The county magistrate sighed, "You are truly remarkable, old man. Such spirit is truly admirable! Okay! I will use this money in your family's name to help those in need!"
The old man didn't refuse and said, "Thank you, County Magistrate Wu. We won't stay any longer. We still have some things to do!"
The old man thought to himself that he did not want to be the kind of saint who did good deeds without leaving a name. When he did good deeds, he wanted others to know that it was done by his family. Only a fool would not want a good reputation.
After saying goodbye to the county magistrate, Uncle Xu drove his carriage to Leshan Pharmacy.
When I stopped at the door of the drugstore, I saw Manager Hong standing at the counter, ticking the abacus.
Several people had already walked in, but Shopkeeper Hong didn't even notice...
Qibao asked, "Grandpa Hong, what are you doing?"
Shopkeeper Hong finally stopped fiddling with his abacus and looked up to see the three members of the Xu family. A burst of joy lit up his face, and he hurried around the backstage area and said, "You're finally here! If you hadn't come soon, I would have gone to your house to look for you!"
Qibao had already guessed roughly that the pills were not only sold, but also sold quite well!
