The thugs: Although this reaction is similar to what they expected, they are very angry Whats going on?
Although they were a little uneasy, they still had to do the work that they had been paid to do. The thugs raised their clubs and had just stepped forward when they saw red powder dancing in front of them. Then, their eyes hurt so much that they felt like they had been dug out.
“All!! What the hell is that!”
Xiaoxiao had enough chili powder and was prepared to take advantage of their blindness to take the broom placed by the wall and whip them before hiding in her space. Just as she was about to act, she saw a few flower pots accurately smash on the thugs’ heads, knocking them out one by one.
She did not see the stone that hit the back of these people’s heads along with the sound of the flower pot shattering, but she saw the bailiff rushing in from outside the alley.
“What’s going on? Alright, Scaldhead, it’s the few of you again? Come back to the government office with us!”
After restraining the thugs, the bailiff looked at the victim who was being troubled. “Eh? Miss Ning?”
Xiaoxiao took a closer look. Oh, it was the bailiff who had come to her house for a meal with Lord Shen.
But how could they patrol here so coincidentally?
Bailiff Ding had a lingering fear. “To think that we just encountered a little beggar who said that an evil person snatched the copper coins he begged and ran here.” Although he did not catch the evil person, he at least saved Miss Ning.
Xiaoxiao was surprised. What a coincidence? Then she was really lucky.
Scaldhead and the others had done a lot of sneaky things in the county office. After returning to the county office, they were about to walk towards the prison when Xiaoxiao stopped the bailiff and said, “Brother Ding, don’t believe them if they say that they’re robbing money.”
Bailiff Ding expressed that he was willing to hear the details. Xiaoxiao smacked her lips. She was the best at complaining.
“They were bribed by someone called Tong Bin to find trouble with me. From what he said, they even wanted to break my leg today.”
Bailiff Ding said seriously, “How dare you commit crimes in broad daylight! We will definitely investigate this matter and give Miss Ning justice. However, does Tong Bin have any grudges with Miss Ning?”
Xiaoxiao blinked. “A good citizen like me definitely won’t offend anyone, but 1 guess it has something to do with me buying the shop.”
“What shop?”
“Who’s going to hit you?”
Two voices sounded at the same time. Xiaoxiao looked in the direction of the voice and stared at Mrs. Shen and her son.
“Xiaoxiao, I thought you would come, but 1 didn’t expect you to come like this.”
Xiaoxiao blinked. “To be honest, I’m quite surprised.”
Shen Tianci strode forward and looked at her carefully. Then, he heaved a sigh of relief. “Fortunately, you’re fine. Which bastard dares to bully my friend?”
Interrogating criminals was the county magistrate’s job. After asking about the basic situation, Xiaoxiao was brought to the Shen Family to rest and take a look at the milk Mrs. Shen had just bought for her.
While waiting, Xiaoxiao recalled the situation in the alley just now.
There was something strange about the flower pots. Even though they were originally placed on the second floor, there was no one and no wind at that time. How did they fall and hit Scaldhead and the others so coincidentally?
[Master, other than you and those thugs, another person appeared just now. However, he disappeared when the bailiff came. Unfortunately, I can only sense movements within a three-meter radius. I don’t know where he went.]
Xiaoxiao shook her head. [It’s all thanks to you and me that we discovered it in advance and had time to prepare chili powder.]
It seemed like he should prepare more of these things. It was better to be prepared.
[By the way, if you level up again, can your perception range increase?]
The space replied: [Yes! A level-four perception radius is four meters!]
After all, it was a function that was equipped to find ingredients. It was already a pleasant surprise that it could help her investigate her surroundings.
Xiaoxiao was satisfied.
After a while, Mrs. Shen, who had sent Shen Tianci away, asked the servant to bring milk over.
“These are all bought from the herdsmen in the southern grassland. See if they’re suitable.”
Xiaoxiao shook the wooden spoon in the bucket. It was clean and a little pungent.
Mrs. Shen had also used milk at home for a while, but she used it to soak in the bath. Later, she despised the smell and changed it to a petal bath, so she didn’t need milk anymore.
Of course, Xiaoxiao was not so extravagant for the time being. She wanted milk to make pastries.
However, after hearing her words, Mrs. Shen fell into a dilemma. “Wouldn’t the pastries made with this smell fishy?”
Xiaoxiao shook her head. “You’ll know when you try it later.”
Mrs. Shen started to look forward to it again. “When?”
Xiaoxiao said, “The 12th of May is my brother’s birthday. Madam, do you have time to come?”
She added, “I’ll cook.” Mrs. Shen couldn’t refuse.
Mrs. Shen clapped her hands and didn’t forget to bring her family along. “My husband happened to have a day off that day.”
Xiaoxiao agreed readily. “If the county magistrate is free, please come over for a simple meal. 1 have something to let Madam try that day.”
After chatting about the meal, Mrs. Shen mentioned the shop again. Xiaoxiao told Mrs. Shen her guess and made Mrs. Shen very angry. “In the name of ■friends’, they do all kinds of scams. He’s simply shameless!”
The people in front had already confessed just now, but they only knew that Tong Bin had paid them to teach Xiaoxiao a lesson. They did not know any other details.
Xiaoxiao did not care about what happened after that. Everyone had their own specialties. She only needed to believe in the county magistrate’s ability. When she left the county office, she happened to brush past Tong Bin, who had been summoned. Tong Bin glared at her fiercely at first, but when he saw Shen Tianci coming out to send his guest off, he became shocked, as if he did not understand why this village girl knew the county magistrate’s son.
The county office’s punishment rods were naturally intimidating to those who had a guilty conscience. In addition, there were witnesses and evidence, so what Tong Bin did could not be hidden at all. Only now did he personally understand that the new county magistrate was different from before.
There was no need to torture him. Tong Bin told him honestly that he was the one who stopped Shopkeeper Qian from selling the shop. He was also the one who deliberately misled Shopkeeper Qian to open a bookstore. He was even the one who found the person who caused trouble and broke Shopkeeper Qian’s leg.
Someone had long looked for him and said that they wanted to buy Shopkeeper Qian’s shop. They even gave him a deposit.
County Magistrate Shen slapped the gavel in a dignified manner. “Then you can go through the proper procedure and introduce them to each other.”
Tong Bin lay on the ground and trembled. “I’ve already lost all the deposits. I’m afraid that 1 won’t be able to take out the deposit if Qian Tong sells the shop to others.”
Hence, he deliberately made others think that Shopkeeper Qian was unlucky. Anyone who bought his shop would suffer. He even added all kinds of things to the medicine to prevent him from recovering. He even tampered with Shopkeeper Qian’s wife’s cold medicine…
He just wanted the shopkeeper to be anxious and sell the shop to him at a low price in a moment of desperation. This way, he would not have to return the deposit and could even earn a sum of money from it. One had to know that the person who wanted to buy the shop paid a total of 280 taels!
He owed the casino a lot of money. He was about to leave Xijiang County after earning money from Shopkeeper Qian and start over somewhere else. He had already been secretly sold all his house deeds and title deeds.
County Magistrate Shen sneered.. “You have a good plan, but have you ever thought about what will happen to Qian Tong and his wife, who were drugged by you?”
