Chapter 5 The county captain becomes suspicious

After noon in late spring, the showers have begun to subside, and the scorching sun brings warmth.

Yu Yalan was looking through the account books behind the counter of Daoxiangzhai, counting the sales of various pastries, and thinking about future arrangements.

Suddenly, she felt a strange breath approaching quickly. Yu Yalan immediately took a few steps back holding the account book. Just as she raised her head to identify who it was, a sharp scream rang in her ears.

"Hey! Are you the owner of Daoxiangzhai? Why are there so many poor things here! Where are the high-end snacks?"

A woman in pink clothes dressed flamboyantly waved a round fan in her hand and looked Yu Yalan up and down, with a bit of contempt and jealousy in her eyes from time to time. This female owner was in charge of such a large shop at such a young age. I don’t know what tricks she used.

, this foxy face is annoying to look at!

Yu Yalan, who had already greatly reduced her appearance with Huanyan Pill, didn't know the dirty thoughts in the other person's heart, but she instinctively didn't want to receive such a rude guest, so she said goodbye with a cold face, "If you want to order cakes, please come.

I'm looking for Aunt Xu at the desk in front, it's not convenient to entertain here."

When Fang Wen saw that the other party dared to show off in front of her, she felt unhappy for a moment. She stared at Yu Yalan and wished she could kneel down and admit her mistake.

The maid Chun Lu behind her immediately understood what her lady meant, pointed at Yu Yalan and shouted angrily: "Hey! My lady is asking you something! Not only do you not answer, but you also want to drive away customers? Do you do this kind of business?

?”

"If you are a guest, you are welcome, but if you are looking for trouble, please leave." Yu Yalan glanced at the incomprehensible pair of master and servant coldly, with a somewhat impatient look on her face.

Fang Wen felt that the other person's eyes were looking at something vulgar, which aroused her anger. "Do you know who I am? My uncle is the magistrate of Xianping County! If you dare to disrespect me, believe me or not."

Ask your uncle to seal your shop immediately!"

She originally wanted to come to Daoxiangzhai today to buy some high-end pastries for a banquet with her acquaintances, but when she came here she found that the store was full of lowly common people and cheap snacks, which were not worthy of her at all.

Identity! She came in so humiliatingly that she wanted the shopkeeper to receive her personally and order a few boxes of special high-end snacks for her. Who would have thought that this bitch would be so disrespectful!

"Please, I want to see if the county magistrate will be manipulated by you." Yu Yalan was not moved at all. If the county magistrate Hu went into a fight because of the quarrel between the little girls, then she would not be able to sit still and wait for death.

Fang Wen's face turned red with anger, and she was about to curse, but a familiar scolding suddenly came from outside the store.

"Okay! Isn't that embarrassing enough?"

Fang Wen turned around and saw Mrs. Hu, the mother of the county magistrate, staring at her majestically a few steps away.

"Old...old lady, I..."

"Stop talking, you go back first. The little girl's family should be quieter. How can she be so aggressive and aggressive!"

Mrs. Hu didn't give her a chance to explain, and sent her home with a wave of her hand.

Fang Wen's face turned pale. No matter how unwilling she was, she could only leave with her maid in despair.

The farce came to an abrupt end. Madam Hu reservedly nodded to Yu Yalan to say hello, and then left in a sedan chair with the support of her maid. Today she went to Jimin Medical Center for a follow-up visit. If it weren't for Dr. Yu's treatment of gout

She did have two brushes, and she would not rush to stop Sister Wen after hearing that she was messing around. Of course, apologizing was impossible. Sister Wen was still an official lady, so apologizing to a merchant girl would be a loss of status.

.

Yu Hongxuan was not very satisfied with the way Mrs. Hu was treated. He even whispered to his sister in private that he did not plan to cure her, lest the old lady would turn her back and deny anyone else after she recovered.

On the other side, Fang Wen, who had returned home, was so angry that she smashed small objects in the house. It was only the maid Chun Lu who coaxed and persuaded her to stop.

"Miss, don't be angry. I just heard the news. The old lady spoke for that woman because Dr. Yu could cure her gout. Lieutenant Xu County will be back tomorrow. Jimin Medical Center is rushing

Having gained so much business from Xu's Medical Center, Lieutenant Xu will definitely not let those two siblings go! Miss, just wait and see the good show."

Fang Wen calmed down after hearing this, and most of the sullenness in her heart had indeed disappeared, "Let people pay more attention to the movements of Daoxiangzhai, I want to see that bitch die with my own eyes!"

"As you command——!"

The next morning, news of Lieutenant Xu's return spread throughout the county. Jimin Medical Center and Daoxiangzhai instantly became deserted. Several old patients even secretly persuaded the Yu siblings not to confront Lieutenant Xu head-on.

The other party was highly skilled in martial arts and had many private soldiers and dead soldiers. Even the soldiers of Baihusuo were angry and dared not speak out. They could only turn a blind eye and let the other party dominate.

The always lively market was particularly deserted today, with only a few vendors still setting up stalls, and every household closed their doors. The people in the entire county were trembling with fear. I wonder what the county captain will do after he gathers Master Chen's power and territory.

What a big move.

The two siblings, Yu Yalan, lived as usual and did not take the horrific rumors seriously. They had been in the county jail and had a county clerk executed. What else was there to fear? Anyway, the soldiers would stop them and the water would cover them up.

, if the dog officer comes to the door, nothing will happen!

Lieutenant Xu Xian, who was feared by everyone, was sitting in the study at the moment, frowning as he listened to his subordinates' reports on recent events.

Contrary to what the people imagined, Xu County Lieutenant was not happy after learning that Master Chen had been poisoned and died suddenly. Instead, he asked solemnly about the abnormality before Master Chen's death.

"Before his death, Mr. Chen suddenly settled all the documents and government affairs that had been accumulated for many years. All settlement, business and food documents were approved, and all the prisoners who had been wrongly imprisoned for more than ten years were released by him.

, even the prison rolls recording the prisoners’ lives were burned by him.”

Upon hearing this, Lieutenant Xu County immediately darkened his face and released them all? Doesn't that mean that those who were imprisoned by him also escaped? Many of those people have already formed a blood feud with him, and I am afraid they will never be found again if they are released.

, if they secretly unite for revenge, even he, who is now protected by the nobles, cannot guarantee that he will escape unscathed!

"Return the dead soldiers from Bianliang. The government has to strengthen its security recently." For now, we can only suspend the plan and prioritize ensuring our own safety. The tasks assigned by the master are not urgent.

"yes."

"What is the origin of the Jimin Medical Clinic you mentioned before?" Lieutenant Xu Xian found it incredible that someone dared to open a medical clinic on his territory.

"It is said that the two owners of Jimin Medical Center were rescued from Huxiao Mountain by Song Ergongzi of Dingbeihou Mansion. After that, they settled in this county and opened a pastry shop and medical center. The business was very prosperous. That Yu

The doctor even became known as a miracle doctor."

As soon as his subordinate finished speaking, Lieutenant Xu's eyes suddenly became sharp, and his right hand unconsciously rubbed the newly healed wound on his abdomen.

This time, he tried his best to deploy in the capital but failed to capture Song Xi alive. Instead, he stabbed him with a sword and almost died. It would be a waste of life not to avenge this!

Now, Zhuzi who was rescued by Song Xi still dares to provoke and act wild on his territory. In this case, don't blame him for being ruthless!

"Send a few people to deal with them and make the scene look better."
