Chapter 6: Wang Datou Captures Yu Qingzhi
Yu Qingzhi didn't know that she had fallen into the scheme of Aunt Li and her father and mother.
Because what she sells is Su Zaorou's recipe, her braised pig offal can still be sold.
If she wants to make more money, she will naturally continue to do this business.
Yu Qingzhi still stewed a pig's head and put two pigs in the water.
When the surrounding villagers saw that Yu Qingzhi was still selling braised pork, they couldn't help but gathered around and asked curiously: "Qingzhi, didn't you sell this recipe to the wealthy businessman yesterday? Why are you still selling it?"
Yu Qingzhi smiled and said: "I sold him a recipe, but it was not a braised recipe, but another recipe. That recipe was more complicated to make and the taste was completely different."
Hearing what Yu Qingzhi said, the villagers felt that Yu Qingzhi was capable.
After earning so much money as one hundred taels of silver, he actually got up before dawn to clean pig water. He Lianjun was really lucky to have such a wife.
Before these villagers could be envious, they suddenly saw a large number of government officials coming this way.
They followed the smell of braised pork and walked up to Yu Qingzhi. The leader of the yamen immediately pointed at Yu Qingzhi aggressively and asked: "Are you Yu Qingzhi?"
Yu Qingzhi was a little confused and said: "This is Yu Qingzhi, a civilian woman. I wonder what the noble officials are doing?"
The leading officer had already taken out the braised pork from the pot and distributed it to several brothers to enjoy.
The official took a few mouthfuls, and with a calculating look in his eyes, he sneered: "This braised pork is really delicious, no wonder you want to steal other people's recipes!"
As soon as these words came out, Yu Qingzhi's face immediately darkened. She looked at the official with some confusion and said, "This official is joking. When did I steal someone else's recipe?"
The leader was Aunt Li's son-in-law Wang Captou. He immediately took out an arrest warrant and said: "Your adoptive parents Yu Laosan and Niu Dahong sued you for stealing their Yu family's ancestral secret recipe and selling it. Now with
Let’s take a trip!”
Having said that, Wang Captou immediately detained Yu Qingzhi.
Yu Qingzhi immediately became anxious and shouted in a loud voice: "They are talking nonsense! Yu Laosan and the others don't know how to cook at all! I researched this recipe myself! What the hell do they care about!"
"You can tell the county magistrate about this! We are just following orders!" Wang Captou sneered.
Yu Qingzhi was not afraid at all. She straightened her back and said in a cold voice: "You took away my braised pork and ate it without giving me any money, but you were also acting on orders? You are pretending to be public and benefiting your own private interests! You are feeding the common people!"
When the head catcher Wang heard what Yu Qingzhi said, he was so angry that he grabbed Yu Qingzhi's hair, slapped her hard on the face, and cursed: "You stinky bitch! You have such a tough mouth! Eat you!"
What’s wrong with the two pieces of meat! You’ve already reached this point, and you still dare to speak harshly! I want to see if it’s your mouth that’s tougher or my stick that’s tougher in court! Take it away!”
Captain Wang gave the order and ordered Yu Qingzhi to be put into a prison car.
He Wanyue and He Lancheng hurriedly ran out of the house when they heard the suddenness.
With so many officials holding Yu Qingzhi captive, He Wanyue's eyes turned red with anxiety. In desperation, she suddenly covered her chest and coughed.
He Lancheng hurriedly stepped forward to block Yu Qingzhi, and shouted loudly: "What are you doing! Come at me if you have anything! I am the man of the family! How can I deal with a woman!"
Wang Captou grabbed He Lancheng's collar, lifted him up, and threw him to the ground. He also spat at He Lancheng and cursed: "You bastard! Get away, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."
!”
He Lancheng was angered by him, rushed forward, hugged Wang Baotou's leg fiercely, and bit him.
"Bitch!" Wang Baotou was bitten so painfully that he bared his teeth and slapped He Lancheng with another big mouth.
He Lancheng was beaten to the side again.
Yu Qingzhi was so anxious that she hurriedly shouted: "Lan Cheng! Don't come over! I'm fine! Don't come over!"
He Lancheng originally wanted to rush forward to stop Wang Captou, but after hearing what Yu Qingzhi said, he could only stop and stare at Wang Captou like a fierce wolf cub.
Mr. Wang snorted coldly, roughly pushed Yu Qingzhi into the prison car, and then walked away.
He Wanyue regained her composure now, looked at He Lancheng hurriedly, and said: "Lancheng, hurry up to Brother Zhao on the mountain!"
He Lancheng nodded and ran towards the mountain.
He Lancheng ran to the foot of the mountain panting, and He Lianjun happened to come down the mountain.
Seeing He Lancheng's anxious face and embarrassment, He Lianjun immediately had a bad premonition in his heart and said, "Lancheng, what happened?"
He Lancheng said in a hoarse voice: "Sister-in-law was taken away by officials!"
"Did the official tell me what happened?" He Lianjun's eyebrows immediately knitted together and he asked in a deep voice.
"Yes, she said that someone from the Yu family sued her for stealing the Yu family's prescription!"
"Stay well at home." He Lianjun hurriedly ordered, but he had already disappeared from sight.
He borrowed a brother's horse and ran straight to the county government office without stopping.
On the way, he suddenly thought of the address reported by Zhu Tianci yesterday, turned his horse around and went to the mansion where Zhu Tianci currently lived.
Here, Yu Qingzhi was taken to the county government office by Wang Captou and escorted to the court.
"Guilty woman Yu Qingzhi! Do you know your guilt?" The county magistrate in the courtroom yawned and looked at Yu Qingzhi coldly.
Yu Laosan and his wife were already waiting in the court. When they saw Yu Qingzhi being escorted in, they immediately jumped up and pointed at her and said: "Master Qingtian! It's her! It's this ungrateful white-eyed wolf who stole our family's property.
The recipe is sold!”
"That's right! We raised her with good intentions, but she actually repaid her with kindness! She stole our ancestral recipe and sold it!"
"Sir! It's correct. It's true that this woman stole the Yu family's prescription and sold it to a wealthy businessman, and made a profit of one hundred taels of silver! Convicted wife Yu, if you don't want to go to jail, you can give away one hundred taels of illegal profits.
If you take out the full amount of two taels of silver, you will also be fined another five taels of silver! Otherwise, you will be waiting for severe punishment!"
Wang Captou looked at Yu Qingzhi coldly and said coldly.
His mother-in-law had ordered the pot to kill Yu Qingzhi. Even if she didn't die, she would still have to take off a layer of her skin! Of course he would do it!
Yu Qingzhi didn't expect that the courtroom was so dark, and immediately said loudly: "Sir! The peasant woman was wronged! This recipe was researched by the peasant woman herself, not from the Yu family! Yu Laosan and his family don't know how to cook at all!
There is no ancestral recipe!"
"You little bitch! You were only six or seven years old when you bought it! What kind of recipe can you study! This recipe belongs to our Yu family!" Yu Laosan said with a bit of death.
"That's right! You've been raising it in the Yu family for ten years! This recipe doesn't belong to the Yu family, but who does it belong to? You can research it yourself! It's so funny! Sir, I see that the cunning woman is so tough, why don't you give me a beating?
, she naturally admitted it obediently." Wang Captou immediately said coldly.
The county magistrate looked like he hadn't woken up and nodded drowsily.
A sneer flashed across Wang Captou's eyes and he said: "Come on, get the stick!"
These people actually want to give in!
Yu Qingzhi didn't expect that the courtroom would be so dark, and she suddenly became anxious.
However, at this moment, an official suddenly ran in from outside with a hurried look and said: "Report to your lord, a wealthy businessman with Zhu Tianci came from outside and asked to see your lord."
As soon as the drowsy adult heard Zhu Tianci's name, he woke up from his sleepiness. He looked at the official below in disbelief and said, "Who do you think is here to ask for an audience?"
"My name is Zhu Tianci," the official said truthfully.
The county magistrate hurriedly adjusted his black gauze hat, his eyes were shining, and he said very flatteringly: "Young master Zhu is here. I am not asking for an audience. I want to greet you personally!"
With that said, he ignored Yu Qingzhi who was kneeling in the hall and hurried out.
After a while, the county magistrate led Zhu Tianci in with a bow and a nod.
"Give me a seat, give me a seat quickly." The county magistrate looked at Zhu Tianci flatteringly and ordered repeatedly.
The official quickly brought the stool.
Zhu Tianci was not polite and sat down leisurely.
Yu Qingzhi raised her eyes and found He Lianjun following Zhu Tianci and looking at her with worry.
It turned out that He Lianjun went to invite Zhu Tianci over.
"I heard that the prescription I bought caused a legal dispute, so I stopped by to take a look. I wonder if you have a charter?" Zhu Tianci looked at the county magistrate and said unhurriedly.
The county magistrate never thought that the person who bought the prescription was Zhu Tianci. This man had a great background. How could he, a seventh-rank official, be offended?
The county magistrate wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said: "Since Mr. Zhu bought the prescription, there is no dispute."
Capt. Wang didn't expect that the wealthy businessman who bought the prescription had such a big background and would come to support Yu Qingzhi. Looking at the gentleman's cautious and delicate look, he knew that he was in trouble.
However, Wang Captou saw clearly the changes in the situation, but Yu Laosan and his wife fell into the eyes of money.
Yu Laosan immediately pointed at Yu Qingzhi and said confidently: "What she sold was our recipe! She stole it from us! The money should be given to us!"
However, Zhu Tianci sneered and said, "Okay, if you say this recipe belongs to your family, then you go forward and write out this recipe."
As soon as these words came out, Yu Laosan was immediately stunned.
But then he reacted and said: "This recipe was handed down from our ancestors. Our whole family is illiterate, so she took advantage of it!"
Hearing Yu Laosan's shameless words, Yu Qingzhi couldn't help it anymore and said, "You said this recipe is yours, do you have any evidence?"
Yu Laosan said shamelessly: "You were bought by my Yu family! Everything you took away belongs to our Yu family! This is the evidence! Hand over the money quickly! Otherwise I will put you in jail!"
Yu Qingzhi looked at the county magistrate and said, "Please be aware that this recipe was indeed researched by me unintentionally and has nothing to do with the Yu family."
Chapter completed!
