Liu Quezi has done a lot of bad things, but he only offended those powerless and lowest-ranking people.
For example, I fell in love with a girl before. One of her parents was disabled and the other was stupid. There were many children in the family. She was the eldest in the family. She had to take care of her younger brothers and sisters and was still unmarried until she was twenty.
After he raped the girl, he gave her a large sum of money to keep her quiet. For the sake of the money, the girl swallowed her pride.
After all, Liu Guizi also said that he would just let it go after taking the money. Otherwise, he would not only come to harass her from time to time, but also disturb her family's peace.
Even if this matter gets out, it will only ruin his reputation. After all, if there are too many lice, you won't be afraid of their bites. But it will be difficult for that girl to live in the future.
For example, when you dislike someone, you might beat him up and then go to his house and smash things up, etc.
Ji Changying frowned. Liu Quezi was hated by everyone, so how could anyone have sued him so far?
But when he thought about him saying he had someone in the county government office, he relaxed his brows again: "Tell me, who in the county government office has a good relationship with him? And where does Liu Quezi get his money?"
After hearing this, Ji Changying was puzzled. This Liu Quezi was just an uneducated and idle guy. Why didn't he sound like he was short of money at all?
Huang Dadao became even more nervous: "I dare not say that."
Ji Changying narrowed her eyes and grabbed the bed board with her hands. With a "click", she pulled off a piece of the bed board and crushed it into pieces in her hands.
"I didn't hear you clearly, can you say it again?"
"I say! It's, it's, it's Han, Han Dianshi from the county government office."
Huang Dadao was sweating profusely and his speech began to stutter.
Ji Changying smiled. She looked at Huang Dadao and encouraged him, "You did a great job! I don't need to ask you about the rest, right? If you perform well, our feud will be written off."
Huang Dadao was delighted: "Really?"
Ji Changying nodded: "I keep my word."
Huang Dadao made up his mind. He had already said half of the words, so the rest didn't seem that difficult.
He confessed everything at once.
Han Dianshi was originally just an ordinary yamen runner in the county government office. He and Liu Shugen were childhood friends. But later, when Liu Shugen became rich, Han Dianshi, an ordinary yamen runner, also became Dianshi.
The position of Dianshi is a low-ranking position in the county government, but it is the one that handles the most affairs besides the three senior officials: the county magistrate, the county magistrate, and the chief clerk.
He can take care of anything that the three above him don't care about, especially the area of monitoring prisons. Even if he arrests a few people, it won't cause any big commotion.
Liu Shugen was not at home all year round, so Liu Quezi usually went to him for help whenever he had any problems. Han Dianshi also took good care of Liu Quezi and treated him like his own brother.
"He and Liu Quezi, one is a troublemaker and the other is a peacemaker. Any shop in the city that they target will eventually have to bleed heavily before the situation is settled. That's how they make money..."
Huang Dadao felt a little guilty when he said this. He had earned a lot of money following Liu Quezi, otherwise he would not have been able to build the house so quickly.
"Oh? What caused the trouble?"
"A restaurant is for those who have stomach problems, a shop is for those who bought something wrong, a clinic is for those who died from their treatment, and so on. They usually go to small shops with no background, so they are willing to pay for 'peace'."
Huang Dadao avoided looking.
Ji Changying understood that this was probably how Huang Dadao got his money.
"How often does Liu Quezi's elder brother come back?"
"I come back every six months. Normally, I don't come back unless something important happens. If there's a war, it's even harder to say."
Ji Changying knew the information she wanted and lost interest in Huang Dadao: "I know what I need to know. Please help me keep an eye on Liu Quezi. I don't want to bother with him, but the premise is that he doesn't come to provoke me."
"I don't care what you do normally, but if you dare to reveal even a little bit of the news that I'm here..."
Ji Changying turned her head and looked at Huang Dadao with a scrutinizing look in her eyes.
"I wouldn't dare! I absolutely wouldn't dare!"
Huang Dadao expressed his anxious attitude, saying that he would never betray her.
"It doesn't matter. I'm not afraid of Liu Guizi, so why should I be afraid that you will betray me? I have plenty of ways to make you live a life worse than death." Ji Changying laughed, shook his body, and disappeared on the spot.
Huang Dadao suddenly collapsed on the bed, constantly wiping the sweat from his forehead, looking very scared.
As soon as Ji Changying left, the gate of the yard was opened.
The sound of the door being pushed open made Huang Dadao tense up immediately, but when he saw that the person coming was Damao who had gone out to buy medicine for him, he relaxed again.
"Boss, what's wrong with you? Why are you sweating so much?"
Damao was very surprised to see Huang Dadao looking weak. He was fine before he went out, so why did he look so serious now?
"Nothing, just hot!"
Huang Dadao glared at him, then asked, "Has Liu Quezi asked you to do anything again these past two days?"
Da Mao sighed, "A few days ago, Cripple said he had set his sights on a grain store. We've already made inquiries. The owner of that grain store is a newcomer from out of town with no background, yet his business is booming! But Cripple said he'd wait until he finished his business before taking action. The brothers have been recovering from their injuries these past two days, so Cripple hasn't come to look for them yet."
Huang Dadao frowned: "My injury won't heal in a short time. If he comes to you again, find an excuse to turn him away."
Damao's eyes widened in surprise: "Why? My brothers are waiting for this deal to make a living!"
Huang Dadao grabbed his pillow and threw it over: "I pushed it away just like I said, why are you talking so much nonsense!"
Damao said "Oh" reluctantly.
Huang Dadao felt relieved when he saw that he agreed. He looked at Damao and spoke his mind, "Don't look at me trying to curry favor with Liu Quezi, but I know in my heart that we are different. We are the only orphans who grew up together. In my heart, you are my closest relatives. Listen to me, I will never harm you."
Damao's heart skipped a beat: "Boss, do you know something we don't know?"
Huang Dadao shook his head: "Don't ask anything else, just listen to me."
——
After Ji Changying learned the news he wanted to know, he planned to go to his own grain store to check the situation. After all, it was still early and he had nothing to do.
She rode her Pearl slowly down the street, glancing around at the streets on both sides. It didn't matter what she saw, she saw Liu Quezi talking to someone in a private room on the second floor of a teahouse. She could see them from outside through the open window, and the two looked very familiar with each other.
