County Master Yunying felt inexplicably happy when she saw Xia Tian, who was speechless after being confronted by her!
In the past, she was always left speechless by Xia Tian, but this time she finally got a comeback.
The bad mood that was just disturbed by these ruffians improved instantly!
Xia Tian looked at the arrogant and spoiled County Master Yunying with mixed feelings. They both once wanted to kill each other. Although they did not succeed, a grudge was formed between them.
After what happened today, Yunying actually offered to help. I wonder what she was thinking?
Xia Tian was confused, but since others helped him find out who was behind the scenes, he had to say thank you!
"Thank you, County Master Yunying, for your help."
"Hmph, I'm not doing this for you. They're just barking here and disturbing me." County Lady Yunying snorted and turned her face away.
Uh! Xia Tian was speechless. Sure enough, she was overthinking it.
Just tell me, how could she be so kind?
So he ignored her and turned to look at the people on the ground. He ordered Uncle Gu, "Tie these people up and send them to the government office."
"Yes, ma'am." Uncle Gu agreed and was about to take action when the police officers pushed through the crowd and came over.
"What's going on? Who is causing trouble?" the yamen runner walking in front asked with a cold face.
Uncle Gu stepped forward quickly and said, "Your Excellency, it was these few people who were causing trouble in my restaurant."
The yamen runners frowned as they looked at the people on the ground. Four of them had their mouths gagged. When they saw him, they removed the rags from their mouths and cried out in injustice, "Master Li, we weren't the ones causing trouble. It was the restaurant that bullied us. It was clearly the food at their restaurant that was faulty, yet they insisted on saying we were the ones who drugged us."
The yamen runner who had just asked the question, the one the group called Lord Li, looked at the speaker with disdain, "Zhang Datou, it's you again!"
These men were beaten black and blue. He didn't recognize them at first, but after taking a closer look, he found that they were familiar faces.
Zhang Datou is the rascal with a face full of flesh!
"Sir Li, it's you who has to make the decision for us brothers this time!" Zhang Datou stepped forward and said with a flattering look on his face.
Lord Li took a step back in disdain. "Don't try to get close to me. Take them all away. If you have any grievances, go to the government office and tell them."
"No, Master Li, it's really not us brothers who are causing trouble today. It's them. They are the ones who are bullying us by taking advantage of their power."
When Zhang Datou heard that they had to go to the yamen, he immediately shouted and pointed at Xia Tian and County Master Yunying.
He was unwilling to go to the yamen. Although they were frequent visitors to the yamen, it was not easy to enter the yamen. Every time they had to be skinned alive before they were let out.
This Lord Li was probably the leader of this group of yamen runners. After listening to Zhang Datou's accusation, he raised his eyes to look at County Master Yunying who was sitting at the door of the restaurant and Xia Tian who was standing beside her without saying a word.
Just as he was about to say, "Take them all away," he noticed that the woman sitting there was looking at him arrogantly.
Looking at his clothes, you can tell he is either rich or noble!
Lord Li thought about it and didn't directly say to take them away. Instead, he raised his hands and asked, "Please forgive my poor eyesight. I don't know who you two are?"
Lady Yunying saw that this yamen runner was quite considerate, so she raised her chin slightly and gestured to the guard next to her.
The guard then replied in a cold voice, "This is County Master Yunying."
"So it's County Master Yunying. My apologies!"
Lord Li was glad that he had not been rash just now!
Otherwise, he would probably get scolded.
Although he had never seen the County Lady Yunying, he had heard of her name. She was arrogant and domineering. People said that no one should mess with this ancestor, otherwise they would suffer the consequences.
The Yunying County Master snorted lightly, "Just interrogate him here, and then take him away after the interrogation is clear!"
Xia Tian looked at Yun Ying gratefully. She meant the same thing. Asking clearly in front of everyone would also clear their restaurant of suspicion.
Although the man just now couldn't resist the beating and said "Master Qi", he only knew the name and didn't know who this Master Qi was.
It’s better to ask clearly here, because they can’t deny it even if they want to in front of everyone!
After hearing what County Lady Yunying said, Lord Li had no choice but to do as he was told and ordered other yamen runners to conduct an on-the-spot interrogation.
Uncle Gu had someone bring out a stool for Lord Li and asked him to sit down and question him.
Lord Li didn't hesitate and sat down to interrogate them one by one.
Zhang Datou was still resisting and didn't want to say anything, but the other four brothers had already confessed everything, so it was useless for him to resist.
I had no choice but to tell the truth.
"As for Mr. Qi, I only know that his mother is a favorite of the Marquis' wife in Wu'an Marquis's Mansion. I don't know anything else."
A popular figure close to the wife of the Marquis of Wu'an? Xia Tian's eyes darkened. Sure enough, she was related to the Liu family.
Aren’t the popular people around Liu the ones like Madam Qi and Qiuyue?
Although Aunt Qi is dead, yes, Aunt Qi, Master Qi, it seems that Master Qi must be Aunt Qi's son.
Then this incident must have been caused by Liu or Chen Ke who instructed Mr. Qi to do this.
It is said that Aunt Qi's family has always been working for Liu.
If after Madam Qi died, Liu or Chen Ke said that she was the one who killed Madam Qi, then it would not be surprising that Madam Qi's son would cause trouble for her.
"So what exactly does Mr. Qi do? Do you know where he is?" Lord Li continued to ask.
"He's the owner of Caiyun Cloth Shop, right on Jinshi Street."
"Then how did you two meet?"
"We've dealt with each other several times before." Zhang Datou said vaguely.
As soon as Lord Li heard it, he knew that Mr. Qi must have gone to his shop to extort money from people before.
After the inquiry was made, the rest of the matter was handed over to the yamen. Lord Li sent two yamen runners to the cloth shop to arrest the people. Zhang Datou and others were to be brought back to the yamen for further questioning.
