Because the fighting was too fierce, the family did not dare to go out to break up the fight. Instead, they lay at the window and watched in fear for a long time.
When the two groups of people were almost defeated, several men rushed out carrying rakes and iron forks.
The leader, Shu Mingli, thrust an iron fork across a gangster's head and shouted in a rough voice: "Tell me, who are you? Why are you fighting in my house?"
Both groups of people were stunned at the same time.
Huh? Why did another group of people pop up?
At this time, Mrs. Shu held a lantern in her left hand and a rope in her right hand, and strode over, "Tie the person up first. After tying him up, we will interrogate him later."
Through the light, the gangster leader from the east of the city accidentally caught a glimpse of the face of the gangster next to him, and was immediately shocked, "Long San? Damn it, why is it you?"
Long San was also shocked when he heard the familiar voice, "Chen Da, why are you a piece of shit?"
"Little bastard, who are you calling a piece of shit? Believe it or not, I will kill you!" Chen Da yelled.
"I'm scolding you, Chen Da, you piece of shit, if you can, go ahead and cut him off. Let's see who's cutting who!"
The two sworn enemies had a disagreement and started fighting again.
At first it was a fight between two people, but later it turned into a fight between two waves of people.
Shu Mingli held up the iron fork: "..."
Please, do these people take him seriously?
Suddenly, there was a loud sound in the sky.
A thunder struck Chen Da and Long San at their feet.
The two of them were shocked and stunned.
Yan Yan put her hands on her hips and reentered the crowd menacingly, "No beating, tell me, what do you want to do when you come to our house in the middle of the night?"
Chen Dasha blinked his eyes blankly, turned his head and asked Long San: "What are you doing here?"
Long San didn't answer but asked: "What are you doing here?"
These two are never finished, right?
Shu Mingli raised his leg and kicked it, "Stop talking nonsense and speak quickly!"
"Gan, you fucking dare to hit me?" Chen's eyes widened and he wanted to stand up and fight back, but his legs went weak and he knelt down again.
Looking back, his younger brothers were paralyzed and crawling. Not to mention beating people, it was a question of whether they could even walk home.
However, the family in front of him was all powerful. After weighing the pros and cons, Chen Da chose to give in, "We were sent by Zhou Shengcai, the owner of Baiweilou. He asked us to find an opportunity to tie up the old woman or the little girl.
"
After speaking, he pointed at Long San and added: "He and I are not the same group."
Long San glared at him fiercely and confessed: "I was sent by Fang Shengtian, the boss of Wuweizhai, to kidnap someone."
Another gangster's voice came from the darkness: "This family is quite capable, offending so many rich people at once."
Another gangster said: "Zhou Shengcai and Fang Shengtian can't be brothers, they even use the same method of teasing them."
Mrs. Shu and others: "..."
The family looked at each other and looked at each other.
After a moment, Mrs. Shu said, "What should we do? These people are looking for trouble every day. If this continues, our restaurant may not be able to operate."
"So do you want to fight them head-on?" Shu Mingli put the iron fork on his shoulder, rubbed his hands, eager to give it a try.
Shu Ming gave him a white look and said, "What are you going to do? You haven't seen how many people Zhou Shengcai has under his command. Can you beat me head-on?"
"Then we can't let others bully us. Can you swallow this bad breath?" Shu Mingli retorted.
Yan Yan suggested: "How about we report them to the official and let the county magistrate deal with them."
Grandpa Fairy said that there are rules in the world. If you encounter injustice in the world, you should approach the county magistrate for justice.
Since they can't defeat Zhou Shengcai head-on, reporting to the official is the best solution.
"I think it's OK!" Mrs. Shu looked at the gangsters lying in the courtyard and snorted coldly: "These people are ready-made evidence. I'll tie them up and send them to the government tomorrow morning."
After listening to their conversation, Chen Da shook his head inexplicably, "You guys are so naive. Do you know who the county magistrate's sister-in-law is? The county magistrate's wife's sister!"
The relationship between them is strong, and you are powerless. Are you not asking for trouble by rushing over to report to the official?
Listen to my advice and hand over the recipe obediently, and you won't have to worry about it in the future. How good would it be?"
"Shut up!" Shu Mingli couldn't hear such words. He grabbed his arm with one hand and tore a rag strip with the other hand to gag his mouth.
Yan Yan was also unconvinced and grabbed the corner of Mrs. Shu's clothes and said: "Grandma, I want to report it to the official! Iron Gongji lets people steal our prescriptions. He is a bad person. Isn't the county magistrate the one who catches bad people? Are you related to them?
what relationship?"
Mrs. Shu rubbed her head lovingly, sighed lightly and did not respond.
A child's thoughts are somewhat simple. In her understanding, if she does something wrong, she will be punished. This is the rule.
But how can some things be so simple?
They had just entered Qinshui County and did not understand the situation. If the Qinshui County magistrate was an upright and honest official like Lin Changyu, reporting this matter to the official would be the best solution.
But if the county magistrate is also evil-minded and always favors his relatives, then if they go to report to the officials at this time, it will be like sending a sheep into a tiger's mouth.
Xiaotuanzi didn't get a definite answer, so he scratched his face in confusion and asked, "Am I wrong?"
Could it be that the method taught to her by the old god was wrong?
After a moment of silence, Shu Mingxin stepped forward, hugged her, and explained softly: "Yan Yan, you are right, the county magistrate's duty is indeed to catch bad people and protect the safety of the people.
But there are good people and bad people in the world, and accordingly there are good officials and bad officials. Bad officials don’t always think about the people. They value interests more.”
Xiaotuanzi blinked and said thoughtfully, "Oh, I understand, you are afraid that the magistrate is a bad official, right? But Uncle Lin is so good, how can his subordinates be bad?"
This sentence gives everyone hope.
Yes, how can an official like Lin Changyu, who is devoted to the people, tolerate corrupt officials in his jurisdiction?
"Actually, I have a safer way." Shu Mingzhi, who was quick-thinking, came up with an idea, "How about we take advantage of the cake delivery time to tell the county magistrate Qianjin about the recipe and let her help in the middle.
Let's make peace.
If Chow Sang Choi is willing to offer a generous price and doesn't cause any trouble, it's not like we can't sell this recipe.
If we can use this method to catch up with the county magistrate, we will be able to straighten our waists when opening restaurants in the future. What do you think of this idea?"
"It's a good idea, but it's so unrealistic." Shu Mingli slapped him in the face rudely, "What's your status? What's your status as the county magistrate's daughter? Why should I help you?"
Shu Mingzhi choked, then pointed at Xiaotuanzi and said: "I think the county magistrate's daughter likes Yan Yan very much. Let her go and beg her. If she says a few more good words, she should be able to do it.
Moreover, Miss Yuan is very kind and she spoke for us the first two times we were in trouble."
