When the boss of Yumixiang arrived, he naturally started arguing again. Finally, seeing that he couldn't convince He Jinshu, he angrily said, "Do you know who is backing our restaurant?"
"I don't care who's behind you. Since this happened in your store, and you don't manage your employees well, and you falsely accuse us of the vinegar problem, you need to compensate us.
Also, do you think your family is the only one doing business? We come here once, and it takes a month to go back and forth. How much money can your restaurant make in a month? We make more than you, not less.
Do you know how much business you've lost in this month? So, why should we pay the price for your wrongdoings? "He Jinshu said without giving in.
After He Jinshu finished speaking, he looked at the boss who was silent with a gloomy face, so he continued, "Boss, you have to think carefully. If you can't get the money, I will take people to Yumixiang all the way. As for the losses caused, I can't control it."
Seeing that his persuasion was not working, the boss of Yumi Township said to He Jinshu, "As a scholar, Mr. He shouldn't care too much about these material possessions."
Upon hearing this, He Jinshu simply said, "It is said that officials should cultivate themselves and serve the people. Although I have not yet entered the officialdom, I should also take this as my responsibility. Now you are harming the interests of the people of Cangzhou, so it is reasonable for me to fight for the interests they deserve."
"Ashu is right," Chen Chenfu said loudly, "Why are you allowed to frame us but not ask for compensation?"
At the end of the argument, the boss finally compromised and gave He Jinshu 1,500 taels of silver. Then He Jinshu took his people and left the government office.
Before leaving, He Jinshu said to the Luozhou prefect, "Prefect, no matter who ordered this incident today, I still want to advise you to do less of this kind of thing in the future, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."
After saying that, he pretended to be concerned and said: I heard an interesting thing in the city these two days. It was said that a murder case occurred 10 kilometers outside the city. More than 20 people died. I also heard that those people looked like martial arts masters. Has the lord investigated this matter thoroughly?
It's so close to the city, and it would be bad if it threatens your life. I'm really worried about your safety, and I hope you can find out the truth as soon as possible."
After hearing this, the Luozhou prefect remained expressionless, but his hands clenched quietly beneath his sleeves. He then said without emotion, "I will investigate this matter myself. There is no need for Mr. He to worry about it."
"That's good," He Jinshu said calmly, "Then please, sir, can you please tell someone a few words for me? Tell them not to be too 'nice' to me, or I will definitely repay them well."
After saying this, he left with his men without looking at the prefect's gloomy face again.
After so much trouble, it was almost time for lunch. After leaving the government office, they found a place to eat. After eating, they went straight back to the house.
After closing the gate, the group of people began to talk in a flurry.
"Mr. He, Mr. Zhen, thank you so much for coming to help us this time." Wang Zhengkun and the others expressed their sincere gratitude.
"They are here for me. It must be you who have suffered an unexpected disaster. You can divide this silver into 100 taels each. It is a compensation for your time." He Jinshu said to them.
"We can't take this." Wang Zhengkun declined.
Several others also agreed and said that they could not take it. It was very kind of them to run such a long way to save them. They definitely could not take the money.
"Brother Kun, you don't have to be polite. Just accept it." Chen Chen said nonchalantly, "This money was originally Ah Shu's compensation for you. If you don't accept it, it will be a waste of his kindness."
"Besides, you have been in prison for a while. You can use this money to calm yourself down. Each of you can buy a nice set of clothes to get rid of bad luck." Chen Chen said again.
Seeing that Shen Zhen said this, the few people stopped refusing and accepted the money directly. At the same time, they felt even more grateful to He Jinshu and Shen Zhen.
After seeing that everyone accepted it, He Jinshu gave Village Chief Wu another 100 taels of silver.
Village Chief Wu didn't refuse when he saw this. He accepted it with a smile, and then said to He Jinshu and Shen Zhen, "I've learned a lot from following you two old men."
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhen said, "It's rare for the village chief to come out. If you need to buy anything, you can go out and buy it this afternoon. Remember to ask Wen Feng and the others to accompany you so that nothing goes wrong."
"Okay, I understand." Village Chief Wu nodded.
After talking about this, Chen Zhen said, "If you all have nothing to do, how about we set off back to Cangzhou tomorrow?"
Naturally, everyone had no objection. It would be better for them to go back early so that others wouldn't come to pick on them later.
After everyone went downstairs to rest, Chen Zhen and He Jinshu also returned to the room with the two children. As they walked, Chen Zhen said to He Jinshu, "Ah Shu, you are really amazing. Now they have really lost both the wife and the army."
He Jinshu only raised the corners of his lips slightly when he heard this: "This is all thanks to my husband's help."
On the way here, He Jinshu arranged for people to come to Luozhou first to check the situation and implement the corresponding plan. The people who were chasing Jiang Xiucai were the ones who were helped by He Jinshu and others. Jiang Xiucai's illness was secretly cured by Chen Zhen after he came.
Even the paper bag containing arsenic in the kitchen helper's house was placed there by someone they hired. The original wrapping paper had actually been thrown away somewhere by the kitchen helper.
They also instigated Wang Erpi to rebel. If others could frame them, they could naturally use the same method to retaliate.
After that, the two of them went into the room and prepared to coax the two children to sleep. After a whole morning of hard work, the two children were now very sleepy.
After the two children woke up, Chen Chen and He Jinshu took them out for a walk and bought some things they would need on the road.
The next day after breakfast, the group set off directly back to Cangzhou.
After reaching the border of Cangzhou, they met up with Lin Liu, Wang Erpi, and the bearded man who had been waiting there.
When Wang Erpi saw Chen Chen, he said, "You promised me before that as long as I do what you said, you will help me make money. You can't go back on your word."
"Of course not," Chen Chen raised his chin and said, "As long as you don't have any bad intentions towards us, then I will definitely let you live a life of abundance. The prerequisite is that you have to change your bad habits and stop stealing and cheating."
"As long as I can eat well and dress well, I will definitely not steal or cheat," said Wang Erpi.
"Then come back to Cangzhou with us first, and then we can decide what you want to do." Chen Chen said.
Wang Erpi naturally agreed.
