As word spread that every household in Surabaya Street had received money, the wealthy families in the town were worried all day long, fearing that they would be the next to be targeted.
Even the big families in Baofeng County are like this. Everyone knows that this criminal thief has caused harm to everyone.
This is what people in the town talked about most when they met in the past two days.
Some people even lamented, A: If I had known that Jiang Yang was so chivalrous, I would have lived in Surabaya Street.
B: That’s right. If a few more big families are robbed, the people in Surabaya Street will all become wealthy families. What a generous thief! One shot is worth ten taels.
C: Hey~ You have to make this clear. We are a family of ten.
Ding: Yes, yes, there are ten taels in a family. There must be at least twenty or thirty households in Surabaya Street. Several hundred taels of silver were given away like this. It really is not your own money, so I don’t feel bad~
These rumors soon reached the ears of the county magistrate, who felt very distressed.
The money that was scattered was all stolen from the Wang family.
The doctor has confirmed that the brother-in-law will not wake up, and all the Wang family's money belongs to him. Several hundred taels of silver were just given to those people in Surabaya Street!
"Tell Surabaya Street and ask them to hand over all their money. That's dirty money!"
"Sir, this..."
"This, this, this, shouldn't the dirty silver be taken back?"
"Sir, please calm down first. If this silver is definitely dirty silver, it should indeed be recovered. But now they are just rumors. We have not yet found out who is responsible for the theft from the Wang family's treasury. There is no evidence that those
The silver is the money lost by the Wang family."
That's right, they don't have any evidence that the silver belongs to the Wang family.
Song Chen had already thought of this before sending the silver, because the silver in the Wang family's treasury was accumulated bit by bit, unlike the official silver that had marks on it.
If it is simply because the time when the Wang family lost the money is the same as the time when the people in Surabaya Street received the money, it is simply untenable to conclude that the money came from the Wang family.
After several contacts, Song Chen naturally knew that the magistrate of Baofeng County cherished his reputation very much and would never do such a thing as forcibly taking back the money.
The county magistrate took a deep breath. He didn't know this. He was so angry that he couldn't stand it.
"How's the investigation going? Is there any news about those big thieves?"
"There is no news yet. Sir, do we really not need to report this matter? Judging from the situation at the scene, these thieves are masters. Otherwise, they cannot do it without leaving any traces. With the strength of our county government, we may not be able to investigate it.
of."
"No, just keep investigating."
If he can catch this group of thieves, his political achievements will be very impressive, and with the money recovered, he will definitely be promoted.
Song Chen still kept all the gold and silver treasures that he took away from the Wang family in the space without looking at them carefully.
She didn't intend to touch these things. The reason why she did this was just to teach Wang Yuanwai a lesson. She would never show mercy to a person who tried to harm her several times.
So the way to teach the other party the longest lesson is naturally to take away everything he cares about most.
Song Chen didn't feel that he had gone too far. People like Wang Yuanwai were rich and unkind, and their hands were not very clean.
To put it more noblely, she is also doing harm to the people.
However, Wang Yuan is unable to wake up, and the fate of the thugs he had previously raised has become a big problem. If they are allowed to wander outside like this, they will definitely become a big scourge to the town.
This is not what Song Chen wants to see.
But she didn't know whether those people who followed Wang Yuanwai because they wanted to make a living or because they just liked it or acted recklessly.
Without being sure of this, she couldn't think of a solution to the problem.
In the end, she really had no choice but to call all eight of Wenping and the others together.
The eight people were suddenly called over, and they were all very anxious, worried that they had done something wrong and made the girl angry.
Song Chen was also troubled at the moment and didn't pay too much attention to their thoughts.
Eight people stood in front of her, Song Chen's face was full of sorrow.
"Girl, has something happened to you?"
Finally, Wen Ping had the courage to ask.
"Hey~" Song Chen sighed heavily, "Do you think it's useful to be a bastard who brings harm to the people?"
The eight people were shocked when they heard this, and immediately felt a lot more relaxed.
Fortunately, it was not them who made the girl unhappy.
But why did the girl ask this question, "Girl, what do you mean when you say it works?"
"It works, it just means it can get them on the right path." Song Chen still supported her chin with her hands, feeling that she was worried about this era.
"Does the girl want to take this person for her own use?" Conghai suddenly asked.
As his words fell, Song Chen's hands finally no longer rested on his chin.
With a "pop~" sound, Song Chen clapped his hands, "Why didn't I expect them to be taken away? If they dare to be disobedient under my command, I have plenty of ways to deal with them."
The eight people immediately fell silent.
The girl said such words in front of them, maybe she was beating them up...
"Um, girl, who are you talking about?" Cong Hai regretted the advice he gave. He couldn't imagine what the girl said about how to deal with them.
But according to their girl's behavior, these words are definitely not just words.
"Oh ~ They are some people who gave me trouble in the town before. I heard that something happened to their master's family now. I thought that those people who no longer have their previous masters to support them might behave randomly outside every day. I am like this
Didn’t I plan to open a shop in the town? I was worried that they would also cause trouble in the future, so I thought that instead of letting them cause trouble, I might as well solve the trouble first."
Song Chen made up an excuse seriously.
Among the eight people, no one expressed doubts about her words.
"Girl, you can actually give it a try." Qiu An, who always talks little, spoke up.
Song Chen gave her a look and asked her to continue.
"Girl, you said you plan to open a shop in the town. In fact, this is just the first step for the girl, right? In the future, the girl's business will only get bigger and bigger, so more and more manpower will be needed. According to the current situation
Look, the girl is most lacking in manpower."
Song Chen nodded in approval, but she didn't expect Qiu An to have such insight.
"What you mean is that I can train these people first to reserve talents for the future, and then use them directly when needed."
"Yes, girl, so Qiu An thinks she can give it a try."
Some people originally thought that what Qiu An said was inappropriate, but when they thought of what their girl said before, they felt that their worries were unnecessary.
"Conghai Congzhu, I'll leave this matter to you and don't attract anyone's attention." Song Chen nodded at two people.
The eight people sent over by Cang Xiuxuan each have their own strengths, and Song Chen has almost figured them out.
When arranging tasks, we can also select people based on their respective strengths. The two brothers Conghai and Congzhu are more outgoing and have an aura of gratitude.
They are better suited to do this.
"Yes, girl, we two brothers will definitely not let the girl down."
"Youping, there is a shop in town that needs to be renovated. You are responsible for supervising the work on site and doing everything according to what I marked on the drawings. The price is not an issue."
"Yes, girl."
"besides."
Song Chen thought of what he had told Shopkeeper Zheng before, and simply arranged the next things at once today.
"I may be traveling far away in a few days. I will tell you all the things you need to pay attention to. You should try your best to make sure there are no major mistakes before I go out."
"Wen Ping, you have been with me since you came here. I will leave all the purchasing and shipping matters at Huichun Hall to you. In addition to the goods in the workshop, there is also a batch of goods in my workshop. I will bring it later.
You go, you are responsible for handing over these goods to Shopkeeper Cui."
"Qing Lei, you are responsible for supervising the production of the workshop with my brother. You have also worked in the workshop for a period of time. You know my requirements."
"Yanyun, you assist my mother in managing the accounting affairs. Every account must be made clear."
"Songshan, follow my father and obey his orders."
Song Chen arranged work for all eight people. It was no longer the previous situation where he could do whatever he found.
Everyone was very excited.
"One more thing you must remember is that life safety comes first at all times. My family needs to be protected, and your own safety also needs to be protected. I hope you will remember this sentence well."
Eight people all knelt in front of Song Chen, "Yes, girl!"
After kneeling, they stood up immediately. They still remembered what Song Chen said. They should not kneel down easily when she is here, but they must kneel down this time.
Song Chen saw their expressions and understood in his heart, so he didn't say anything more.
"Girl, you have arranged everything for us, who will you take with you?"
In the excitement, everyone also realized that Song Chen had arranged errands for all of them here, and no one had arranged to go out with her.
"I won't take any of you girls." If he couldn't find a place, Song Chen would have wished he didn't even take Shopkeeper Zheng.
"No! Girl, you already said you were going on a far journey, how could you not take anyone with you? What about your safety..."
When Song Chen said that he would not take anyone with him, everyone immediately became anxious.
"I promise you that there will never be any problem with my safety. I will not let myself lose a hair. You should put your heart in my belly."
"Girl, why don't you take Wenping with you? She has been following you before, so you should get used to it. Besides, you said you are going far away, so how can you do it without someone by your side to take care of her?"
"I said no! I won't take anyone with me. I have my own arrangements. This matter is settled like this. No one needs to say anything more."
Seeing them like this, Song Chen could only sink his face.
