Chapter Thirty-six Who Is Eliminating Harm for the People
Zhao family
"Has the letter been delivered? Have those two people been caught by the brother-in-law?" Zhao Kang asked quickly when he saw the servant who delivered the letter came back. In fact, he felt a little regretful. The woman was as beautiful as a fairy.
What should you do if your brother-in-law takes a fancy to you?
Although Zhao Kang hated shopkeeper Zhou and Nie Zhou, he still yearned for Yun Xi in his heart. She was so charming that she could not even compare to the concubines in the harem.
The servant who replied was trembling, looking terrified.
"Didn't you hear what the young master said? What's going on?" Mrs. Zhao frowned unhappily when she saw the servant like this.
"Husband, Madam..." The servant was trembling, and just as he was about to say something, he heard a commotion behind him.
Soon, several government officials appeared.
"Brother Gao, why are you here?"
The Zhao family's mother and son were a little surprised when they saw the leading yamen servant. This yamen servant surnamed Gao was a distant relative of the county magistrate. Even they usually gave him some respect. But why did he suddenly appear in the Zhao family now? What's more, he was a distant relative of the county magistrate.
Did you bring another yamen servant?
Gao Zhen did not respond politely to Zhao Kang's words as usual, but with a straight face, waved his hand and said: "Take Zhao Kang away!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the officials behind him stepped forward, grabbed Zhao Kang from left to right, and dragged him out.
"Hey, why are you arresting my son? Let him go!"
Zhao Kang was caught off guard, and no one reacted. When they saw that Zhao Kang was about to be dragged to the door, Zhao's mother came to her senses. While she stepped forward to stop the government servant who was holding Zhao Kang hostage, she shouted at
Gao Zhen asked:
"Master Gao, what does this mean? Why did you let Kang'er be arrested? He is Aunt Ying's biological brother!"
The Zhao family was originally just an ordinary businessman, and was not very prominent in Qi'an City before. But since Zhao Ying entered the county magistrate's office, the Zhao family has also followed the rise. Gradually, the Zhao family has become more and more prosperous.
Gao Zhen smiled coldly after hearing what Zhao's mother said. The Zhao family thought that with Aunt Ying, the Zhao family would be able to dominate Qi'an County, right?
"Mrs. Zhao, it wasn't me who wanted to arrest Mr. Zhao. It was the county magistrate who ordered his arrest, and we also followed the order."
"Impossible!" Mrs. Zhao said without thinking.
"How could my brother-in-law let someone arrest me? I don't believe it!" Zhao Kang also shouted loudly.
Gao Zhen listened to his words about brother-in-law with a mocking look on his face.
It's really amazing that a concubine's younger brother dares to call you brother-in-law.
"Mrs. Zhao, if Mr. Zhao has any questions, please ask the county magistrate." Gao Zhen said, then raised his hand, "Take it away!"
When Mrs. Zhao saw this, she could only let someone send a message to her daughter while she chased after her.
On this side, Zhao Kang was taken to the Yamen. On the other side, Nie Zhou had already given the new shop account to Yun Xi.
"Is it really done?" Yun Ji held this thin piece of paper and was a little surprised to see that her name was written on it. Is she considered a real estate owner now?
Nie Zhou nodded and raised the corners of his lips when he saw her looking so happy.
"What are your plans next?"
"First we need to renovate the shop, and then we need to purchase tables, chairs, dishes, and other things. More importantly, we need to recruit people!" Yun Jie made the same calculations. Finding people is the top priority. She can open a shop here.
I still took care of him for a while, but he had to return to town eventually.
The people we recruit must first be reliable and loyal, and secondly, they must be courageous and able to solve problems. After all, this is a county town, and there are many people talking, so no one knows what accidents may happen.
"How many people do you want to recruit? What skills do they need?" Nie Zhou suddenly asked.
"Let's have four people, one is responsible for making noodles, one is responsible for washing vegetables and clearing away the dishes, and then one is the waiter serving noodles. The last one is responsible for collecting money. That's it for now. If there are any changes in the future, we will see." Yun Ji thought about it.
Want to say.
"Okay." Nie Zhou suddenly said.
Yun Ji glanced at him and said with a smile: "You agreed, are these people going to be handed over to you?"
She was just joking, but Nie Zhou nodded.
"Don't I have a friend in the county? Leave it to him. Then he can help us take care of the noodle shop, so we can feel more at ease."
Looking at Nie Zhou's seriousness, Yun Shu was a little skeptical: "Really?"
What do his friends do? How come they can do anything.
"Of course it's true." Nie Zhou said, "Let's stay in the county for one more day. Do you want to think about how to open a noodle restaurant tonight? Let us know together then. I will ask my friend to hire someone to decorate it. When the decoration is completed, we will
come over."
Seeing that he trusted his friend so much, Yun Ji thought that he was indeed very reliable.
It would be best to have someone help, so Yun Shu didn't object.
…
Although Yun Ji decided to leave the shop affairs to Nie Zhou, she still wanted to go shopping for small things such as bowls and chopsticks by herself. In addition, it was rare to go to the county town, so Nie Zhou accompanied her again in the afternoon.
Yun Ji went to the county town to buy some things.
"Hey, have you heard? Bully Zhao has been sent to prison!"
Just when Yun Ji and the others were choosing bowls and chopsticks in a shop, they suddenly heard someone talking next to them.
"Really or not? Isn't the person named Zhao the brother-in-law of the county magistrate? How could he be sent to prison?"
"Hey, what kind of brother-in-law? He's just my concubine's younger brother. He's so favored by his concubine's sister that he doesn't know how much he weighs..." The people around him said disapprovingly. They had long ignored him.
Fuck Zhao Kang, a bully who uses his power to bully others.
"But in the past, when people named Zhao did bad things, no one reported them to the official, and the county magistrate didn't take care of them." Anyway, he didn't believe that Zhao Kang was in prison. What's more, didn't the concubine say she was pregnant? Wouldn't that be more torturous?
Favoring, the Zhao family will only become more powerful.
"What do you know? I heard that this time Zhao got into trouble with a big shot, and the county magistrate couldn't protect him even if he wanted to."
"Hey, that's what happened. But, who told him to do all kinds of things?"
"That's right. Without Bully Zhao, the city will be much safer in the future."
"..."
As the people who were listening to the discussion walked away, Yun Shu looked at Nie Zhou and asked, "Are they talking about Mr. Zhao who said he wanted to settle a score with us?"
"It should be him." Nie Zhou's expression did not change.
Yun Bi laughed after hearing this and said, "I don't know who is doing this for the people, but it is a great kindness!"
Yun Ji originally thought that when Zhao Kang came to take revenge, she would take action at the right time. Unexpectedly, the enemy would be destroyed without her taking action. Good thing, there would be less trouble, and the people of Qi'an County would live a more comfortable life.
Nie Zhou also nodded.
Yun Ji and the others finished shopping and were about to go back to the inn. When they were halfway there, a carriage drove quickly down the street. When they passed by Yun Ji and the others, they almost scratched her. Nie Zhou quickly grabbed her by the waist.
