Chapter 202 Seeing Through the Trick
It wasn't until Grandma was settled down to rest that Fei Chengsheng lit an oil lamp and had a long chat with her.
"I went to the Yamen and found out some information."
After hearing this, Qin Zhiyi also asked curiously: "For example?"
Fei Chengsheng told her everything about the Yamen.
It turned out that after he went to the Yamen, Mr. Xu said that he would treat him to dinner.
Then Qin Zhiyi had more than twenty dishes delivered to him, so he suggested that everyone eat together.
We brought two catchers with us, making a total of twelve people. Because we shouldn't drink and were afraid of delaying things, the group of people ate food and talked at the same time.
During this period, he asked several probing questions, and even directly stated to Mr. Xu that someone in the Yamen might let the news out.
Sure enough, I saw a suspicious person inside. After careful interrogation, the person immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.
It turned out that Li Mancang bribed the yamen servant and figured out the whole story.
Then Li Mancang found some people and deliberately blended in with the crowd to set the pace. Within a short time, her reputation had been ruined.
After hearing Fei Chengsheng's explanation, Qin Zhiyi frowned: "It seems that Li Mancang still doesn't want to give up."
Fei Chengsheng also said at this time: "I'm afraid I feel busy guarding a few shops."
He Changxuan, who was originally guarding the door, couldn't help but interrupt after hearing this: "Master, Sister Ayi, why don't you leave this matter to me, and I will just take his dog's head!"
"No."
Qin Zhiyi said quietly: "Not to mention murder is illegal, secondly, since your young master is here, you must know the reason."
She turned her gaze to Fei Chengsheng and continued: "He doesn't want to be known. If someone is killed and they are traced back to him, he will become a wanted criminal. Furthermore, your young master has a special status. If he is like this
Has the matter reached the ears above?"
He Changxuan was silent for a moment.
Having gone to the battlefield to kill the enemy with the young master, he had already forgotten all this. At this moment, he hurriedly lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, young master, Sister Ayi, I was too reckless."
"It's okay. A villain like Li Mancang won't be able to stay around for long."
Fei Chengsheng nodded and fell into deep thought.
Qin Zhi noticed that something was wrong with his mood, so he asked again: "Did Mr. Xu say anything else to you?"
Fei Chengsheng was silent for a moment before adding: "Master Xu said that he wants me to go to the Yamen to be the chief catcher."
"Haha! This Sir is quite whimsical."
He Changxuan was the first to laugh out loud.
On the contrary, she turned her gaze to Fei Chengsheng again: "Then what do you think and how do you react?"
Fei Chengsheng said: "I refused because I am a wild man from the countryside, and I also told Mr. Xu carefully that I don't like restraint, and they directly transferred me to be the chief catcher, which is difficult to convince the public."
She nodded.
Although she has never experienced a court, she has read a lot of books. She knows how complicated it is. In a small county town and a small county government, the water inside is definitely not shallow.
"It's best not to go."
She gently grabbed his hand: "Since you are far away from those things, don't touch them again. Do your business properly, and it is enough to contribute when it is time to contribute."
From the time she came to this world, a stable life was what she wanted in her heart.
She never thought about making a splash, nor did she think about having affairs with famous people like other time-traveling girls. She knew that she was just an ordinary person, and it was enough to do her small part.
"Um."
Fei Chengsheng responded, his eyes fell on her hand, and he clasped it tightly with his backhand.
When he woke up the next day, Qin Zhiyi got up early and went to a restaurant.
Just in time for the restaurant to sell breakfast.
Because it was the Double Ninth Festival, she had people prepare sweet-scented osmanthus cake yesterday. Different from the sweet-scented osmanthus cake made by others, the sweet-scented osmanthus cake she asked people to prepare had jujube paste and red bean paste added to it.
The cooked jujube paste and red bean paste are embedded in the sweet-scented osmanthus cake. Take a bite and it will be glutinous on the outside and sweet on the inside.
In addition to jujube puree and red bean paste, she also specially prepared white osmanthus cake, which was poured with honey and eaten, which was also particularly delicious.
Therefore, sweet-scented osmanthus cake has become a part of the Double Ninth Festival breakfast.
Fortunately, because of the preparations in advance and the constant flow of people coming and going, everyone knew that there were sweet-scented osmanthus cakes with different flavors. A long queue gradually formed at the door, and even the restaurant was full of people.
When she came over to catch up, she saw that the guys were a little busy, so she joined in to help.
Unexpectedly, when the sale was halfway through, a man suddenly rushed in front of the crowd. He didn't care about the hot buns that had just come out of the oven, grabbed two buns, squatted down and stuffed them into his mouth.
After everyone saw it, they all sighed.
Si Niang even picked it up directly.
Suddenly something like this happened, and everyone was curious about who it was. Qin Zhiyi hurriedly stepped forward to appease everyone and asked Siniang to take the person aside.
The man didn't care so much and only gave up after eating all the steamed buns that were still hot in his hand.
Si Niang was also angry and thought it was ridiculous, and said to the man: "You are also strange. Today is the Double Ninth Festival. My shopkeeper can give out porridge, and there are vegetarian meals in the temple. You come here to snatch it. This, this is not going to be tolerated by others."
Dislike it?"
The man seemed to be full, but when he heard the sound, he just huddled there and lowered his head, without saying a word.
Qin Zhiyi reached out and patted her and said, "Are you full? Si Niang, go get her two more buns."
As soon as these words came out, the person who had been hiding there with his head lowered and refused to look at her immediately raised his head and said in surprise: "Bring me two meat-filled ones. I haven't eaten meat in more than a month."
Only then did Qin Zhiyi see the other person's face clearly, and it turned out that this person was Qin Xiaomei who had run away from Qinjiazhuang.
"Qin Xiaomei, why is it you?"
She recognized Qin Xiaomei, but Qin Xiaomei was unwilling to pay attention to her. Instead, she said to Siniang: "Go and get two buns. Your shopkeepers have told me to get two more buns for me."
Just as Siniang was about to get the buns, Qin Zhiyi said, "Siniang, don't worry yet."
Qin Xiaomei became anxious now: "What's wrong with you? You opened such a big restaurant, but you actually don't keep your word. You promised to give me two buns, and now you regret it!"
Qin Zhiyi said calmly: "Your mother is looking for you everywhere, but you ran away with Qin Youcai."
"What does she want from me? Doesn't she want to sell me to a fool? It's better to treat me as dead."
Qin Xiaomei muttered, Qin Zhiyi didn't know what she had been through these days, her face was dirty and her hair was messy.
Seeing Qin Xiaomei say this, she looked at Siniang again: "Bring her two meat buns."
Qin Xiaomei's expression softened a little, and when Siniang brought the meat buns, she was already devouring them.
After eating the meat buns, Qin Xiaomei suddenly knelt down to her with a plop: "Sister Ayi, please take me in. Even if you let me serve the dishes in the restaurant, sweep the floor and wash dishes, just give me a full meal. I'm really too tired."
I'm hungry, I will die if I continue like this..."
