Chapter 43: Did I teach you? (Catching bugs)...

Wu Lengzi, the one Zhao Tou'er mentioned, was the big fireman.

He saw that the people outside were probably looking for trouble, so he ran into the backyard and shouted to the firemen standing or sitting: "Someone is here to smash the store, brothers, confiscate their belongings!"

Jiang Yanyi didn't have anything that could be used as a weapon in the backyard, so a dozen firemen directly took some firewood and went outside.

Wu Lengzi's roar could be heard clearly in the kitchen.

Qiu Kui's first reaction was that Hu Baiwan was here again. She sat on the ponytail behind the stove and her face turned pale all of a sudden: "Huahua, what should we do?"

Jiang Yanyi took off her apron: "It's okay, I'll go out and take a look."

Chef Li called her: "Why did someone suddenly come to smash the store? Did you offend someone?"

Jiang Yanyi told him about Hu Baiwan in a few words. Chef Li angrily knocked the soup spoon on the edge of the pot and said angrily: "A bunch of thugs! How dare you bully my daughter from Huotouying! Master will go out with you to take a look!"

Chef Li walked in front. Jiang Yanyi looked at his thin but straight back. Her heart warmed, but her nose felt a little sour.

Perhaps because they had been cooks all their lives, Jiang Yanyi felt that Chef Li was very similar to her father in her previous life, with similar tempers and the same obsession with cooking.

Every time Chef Li was nice to her, Jiang Yanyi would think of her father.

She followed Chef Li into the shop in front. She was not afraid of Hu Baiwan causing trouble, but now she seemed to have found some strength in her heart and became more confident.

Madam Hu got off the carriage tremblingly with the help of several maids. In order to show her power, she brought more than ten servants with her before leaving. She thought that this scene alone could scare the female shopkeeper in the shop. Unexpectedly,

before she could tell the servants to smash the things, a dozen big men with big pieces of firewood in their hands came out of the shop.

To be able to enter the military camp, they must have passed the physical test, and they were all tall and strong.

In comparison, the group of servants she brought with her were like skinny monkeys wrapped in a layer of cloth.

They had already lost a lot in terms of momentum. If they fought head-on, they would definitely not get any good results.

Madam Hu Shao looked unhappy, thinking that this little fox was not bad. He actually knew that she was coming to teach her a lesson today, and deliberately found so many peasants to come here to fill the place.

Zhao Tou'er was a shrewd man. Even though the two groups were obviously on edge, he could still ask with a smile, "Madam, are you coming to our store for dinner?"

Mrs. Hu said sharply, "I'm afraid that the soup made by that bitch who seduces other people's husbands will make me want to vomit."

She was determined to make Jiang Yanyi lose face on this street so that she would not be able to do business in the future. Although she was worried about the dozen big men in the other party's shop and could not directly let the servants smash the shop, she could still scold Jiang Yanyi and make him lose his reputation.

At this time, Jiang Yanyi followed Chef Li from the backyard to the shop.

When Chef Li saw the Hu family logo on her carriage, he guessed the identity of the fat woman and retorted directly: "You are really unreasonable, you picky woman. Why don't you ask the neighbors on this street to see whether it was your man who was harassing and beating in front of the shop that day, or my daughter who was misbehaving." When

Mrs. Hu heard him call her "my daughter" all the time, her face instantly turned ugly, and she glared at the servant who had inquired about the news before.

Wasn't it said that the shopkeeper was an orphan?

But she was not afraid of a sixty-year-old man, and she cursed loudly: "How do I know how many people on this street have glided under the skirt of your concubine and will speak for her. What a joke! What kind of person is my husband? If it weren't for this little bitch who seduced my husband, would my husband like her?"

Jiang Yanyi poured a cup of cold tea and splashed it directly on Mrs. Hu, saying with a fake smile: "I see that your wife doesn't seem to have a clean mouth this morning, so I'll give you a cup of tea to rinse your mouth. You're welcome."

Mrs. Hu's dress was newly cut and made of floral silk. She treasured it very much. Now someone splashed a cup of tea on it. Mrs. Hu was shocked and angry, and her voice pierced through the entire street of the Protectorate: "My new clothes!"

This commotion had already attracted many passers-by to stop and watch.

Jiang Yanyi raised his voice at the right time and said, "I will return that 'joke' to you intact, madam. Who in the whole Xizhou doesn't know that your husband is a playboy who can't walk when he sees a girl? No matter how rich and powerful your Hu family is, you can't confuse right and wrong like this. I open a business, but you make up these false things to tarnish my reputation?"

"It was the soldiers from the Protectorate who dragged your husband away that day. Madam, you might as well go to the Protectorate and knock on the door to ask why they took your husband to the yamen. As for what kind of person I am, the neighbors can testify."

Because of Madam Hu's nonsense just now, the male neighbors didn't say anything, but the female neighbors all echoed her.

"Don't take advantage of your power to bully others. Shopkeeper Jiang is just a famous person, how could he fall for the ignorant second-generation heir of the Hu family?"

"This couple in the Hu family is really a match made in heaven!"

"They chose the day when the store opened to disrupt the business. How evil are they!"

"They did it on purpose. Do you remember the little Taohong who sang in Lai Fu Tavern? It was obviously Hu Baiwan who harassed her several times, but a group of evil servants dragged little Taohong to the street and beat her until she was half dead. The Hu family really thinks of themselves as the local emperors of Xizhou!"

"Shopkeeper Jiang is such a kind person, how come he was entangled by this couple..."

The onlookers were just watching the excitement at first, but after hearing so many people talking, and considering Hu Baiwan's reputation in Xizhou, they immediately understood the situation.

There were even passers-by who helped to criticize the Hu family. It didn't develop in the way that Madam Hu had expected.

Madam Hu listened to the women's discussions around her and was so angry that her body was shaking.

In the past, she could deal with anyone she wanted to deal with, and she had a group of evil servants around her. Even if the girls she surrounded wanted to clarify for themselves, they couldn't beat her.

Today was the first time that she suffered a loss. Madam Hu was so angry that her heart ached. When she was angry, her mind was not very clear. She only thought about how to get back at her. She immediately shouted: "Smash the shop for me!"

If it were any other day, the group of evil servants behind her would have started to smash the shop in a show of force. But today, they looked at the dozen or so firemen holding firewood in the shop, and then looked at the sticks in their own hands, and they felt a little scared.

After Madam Hu yelled, the servants behind her did not move. She was so angry that she turned around and slapped the nearest servant: "Are you deaf? This lady asked you to smash the shop!"

The group of evil servants had no choice but to bite the bullet and go ahead.

The firemen were afraid of damaging the things in Jiang Yanyi's shop, so they went out and started fighting in the street without waiting for them to rush into the shop. People

who came out of the military camp are always better at fighting than a group of idle servants. Soon, the evil servants of the Hu family were beaten black and blue one by one.

Madam Hu was so angry that she quickly ordered the maid beside her: "Go to the government office and bring people here quickly, saying that I was beaten on the street!"

The maid left quickly.

Madam Hu rolled up her sleeves with difficulty and wanted to fight Jiang Yanyi in person.

Jiang Yanyi was not stupid. Just by looking at her body, she knew that she could not be tough.

She was agile and Madam Hu could not catch up with her. She simply took out her anger on the bowls and plates in the shop and smashed them on the ground.

Porcelain pieces flew everywhere. Although Madam Hu was wearing embroidered shoes, her weight was there. When she stepped down, a piece of broken porcelain pierced through the sole of her embroidered shoes and pierced into the sole of her foot.

Madam Hu screamed in pain, lifted her foot and bent down halfway to see where she was pierced by the broken porcelain. However, she was too fat to bend down at all, and her center of gravity was unstable, so she fell on her buttocks.

The place where her buttocks sat was exactly where the porcelain bowls and plates that she had just broken were. The broken porcelain pierced into her flesh, and Madam Hu screamed like a pig being slaughtered again, and her whole face turned pale in pain.

The few maids left by her side looked at each other, and none of them dared to step forward to help easily.

Jiang Yanyi had not expected that Madam Hu would suffer retribution the moment she smashed her bowls and plates.

She quickly said to the crowd watching the excitement at the door: "Please excuse me, everyone, to testify that she fell down by herself, and it has nothing to do with the shop." The crowd

burst into laughter, and they obviously thought that Madam Hu's bringing the evil servants here to teach people a lesson today was simply a farce.

"Make way! The government is investigating a case, and those who are idle should stay out of the way!"

A team of officials appeared on the street, and the one who led the officials was the maid that Madam Hu had just assigned.

When the maid came back, she saw Madam Hu sitting on the ground, with blood on her feet and blood oozing out from under her skirt. Her face was pale. She was stunned for a moment, then hurried forward to try to help her up, her face was very anxious: "Madam, have you had your period?"

Otherwise, why is the whole area of ​​your butt red?

Madam Hu was so angry that she wanted to slap the maid twice, but unfortunately she didn't have the strength, so she could only cry out: "There's broken porcelain stuck in my butt."

"Oh oh." The maid hurriedly helped Madam Hu up, but she was too weak, and Madam Hu's feet were also pierced with broken porcelain, and most of her body weight was trying to be put on the maid.

The maid couldn't help her up at all, but was pressed so hard that her waist was sprained, and she fell into the pile of broken porcelain with Madam Hu, making a muffled sound when she landed on the ground.

This time, a piece of broken porcelain was also stabbed into Mrs. Hu's back, causing her to scream in pain.

Jiang Yanyi was stunned. This was the first time she saw what "covered with wounds" meant, and it was the other party who suffered from it.

The chief of the officials recognized Mrs. Hu, and saw that the Hu family servant was beaten black and blue, and Mrs. Hu was stabbed with broken porcelain. He made a sullen gesture to the officials behind him: "The owner of the store intentionally injured people, the store is closed, and all the people are taken back to the government office!"

Jiang Yanyi found that this official was also good at lying. The maid went to help Mrs. Hu fall again, and the officials also witnessed it with their own eyes.

She didn't know the relationship between Mrs. Hu and Prefect Xie, but she was keenly aware that the government and the Hu family were probably involved in secret.

If she was put in jail, she didn't know what was waiting for her. Jiang Yanyi couldn't help sweating.

Several officials came forward to arrest him, but the firemen who received the hint from Li Chef and Zhao Tou'er came forward to stop them.

Seeing this, the chief of the officials sneered and said, "You guys still want to rebel?"

Zhao Tou'er was a smooth person, and he had more connections outside the military camp than Li Chef. He bowed and said, "I don't recognize this captain. I wonder if Captain Yuan Meng is still working in the government?"

The chief of the officials glanced at him and said, "Captain Yuan retired and returned to his hometown a few years ago."

There was no way to save face, so Zhao Tou'er had to change his words: "We are all from Xizhou. People from the Fire Camp of the main camp, this woman was the one who came to provoke us today, and the injuries on her body were caused by her own fall. It is inappropriate for the officials to arrest people without knowing the truth. "

The military camp and the government have always kept their distance from each other, and the leader of the officials did not take the Fire Camp operatives seriously. He sneered and said, "It's no use for a dog to meddle in other people's business. I am investigating a case, do I need you guys to teach me?"

The Fire Troops were all angry.

Suddenly, a cold voice came from outside the crowd, "They can't be taught, but how can I?"
