Chapter 423 Izumo Village Becomes Famous
Prefect Wang acted swiftly. After investigation, the evidence that Huang Weidong had murdered his former father-in-law's family was conclusive. The key was that the people who went to Pingchuan County, based on Ning Bao's confession, actually found the body.
With conclusive evidence, Huang Weidong was immediately arrested and imprisoned, awaiting execution in the autumn.
Ning Bao bought Huang's Winery at a very low price. As for the seafood restaurant, although the government had issued a notice confirming that the restaurant's dishes were fine,
But since it involves dead people, some people are still very bothered by it.
Since they had already received the 50,000 taels of compensation, they decided to close down the business and buy the teahouse next door to renovate and expand their operations.
Ning Bao had her own plans for buying Huang Family Restaurant. She had previously discovered not only many aged wines in the Fu family's wine cellar, but also the Fu family's secret brewing recipe.
Moreover, Ningbao also had a book about brewing. She only remembered that the book was found in her storage talisman, specifically from the homes of wealthy families she had scavenged during her escape from famine.
She couldn't really remember whether it was something she had plundered from those big shots in the underworld.
Anyway, the book was in her possession. She took it out by chance that day, and Mu Chunping saw it and became very interested, so she simply gave it to her father.
Unexpectedly, her father was also very talented in brewing wine. Ningbao had originally wanted to find a business for the Mu family.
My older brothers are all studying, and they will need money for everything from taking the imperial examinations to starting a family and building a career.
She had a lot of silver in her storage talisman, but Ning Bao was very clear about the difference between teaching someone how to fish and giving them fish. So today she bought the Huang family winery at a low price and planned to rename it the Mu family's.
………………
This trip to Cloud Road City took a full ten days to complete, but the gains were enormous.
Calculating the days, it just so happened that the results of the preliminary examination for children were being released, and the group set off from Yunlu City before dawn.
By daybreak, they had arrived in Pingchuan County.
The county town was bustling with activity because the results were being released today. Ningbao and his group spent half a day queuing to enter the town.
The group went to the Mu residence, which was the same courtyard as the Fu family's residence.
Apart from Ning Bao and Shen Yuzhen, everyone else was visiting for the first time, and they were all shocked when they heard that the large courtyard had only cost fifty taels of silver.
Su Yuanzhi even pulled Ning Bao along,
"Junior sister, you must tell your senior brother if there are any good things like this in the future."
"In all my years in business, I've never made such a profitable deal."
Su Jingshu was also very surprised.
"Yes, this yard is such a great deal. I thought it was just a small house, but it turned out to be such a big yard."
After touring the courtyard, it was almost time, so Bai Ming and Su Yuanzhi went to the county government office together.
The list would be posted on the bulletin board outside the county government office. Today, there were many people looking at the list, and it was quite chaotic, so Ningbao and the others didn't go there. Instead, they sent Su Yuanzhi and Bai Ming to look at it.
The two had just arrived at the county government office when the notice was posted. The person sent by Chuyun Village to check the notice was Shen Junshan.
Shen Junshan had just squeezed to the bottom of the list when he ran into Su Yuanzhi and the other person.
The imperial examination system was always extremely brutal, with only fifty students being admitted to the county-level examinations each year.
Because the children in Izumo Village haven't been in school for very long, to be honest, no one had any confidence in the results, so they all started looking at the last part of the list.
"Shen Sikang? Uncle Shen, your Sikang ranked forty-fifth in the exam."
Although 45th place isn't great, Shen Junshan would be very satisfied as long as he could pass the exam.
After seeing Shen Sikang's name, Su Yuanzhi kept scrolling forward to the twenty-fifth place but didn't see a single familiar name. He couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"That's not right, it's impossible that only Sikang passed the exam."
It's not that Sikang isn't excellent, but according to the two teachers, Sikang is only average.
