Chapter 183: Persuading the overall situation to be the most important thing
"Come in." He Zexu said directly without waiting for the subordinates outside to report.
The door opened, and the subordinate came in: "Madam, the concierge said that the grandson of the shop owner of Chengxi Tofu Shop has something to say, and he will not tell you until he sees you. The concierge guessed that it may be that his grandfather did not cook the new tofu well, okay?
The little fat man said that my wife is very busy recently and she would go to the tofu shop when she had time, but the little fat man refused to leave, so..."
Madam usually interacts with the people in the city and is very easy-going. She also helps some shops with ideas and new products. Everyone knows this.
Normally, I would just forget it, but what happened one after another recently is not a trivial matter, even though I didn't say anything to the outside world.
However, the incident of Mr. Leng and his two children being arrested caused quite a stir. Although only a few people in the city saw it with their own eyes, it should be considered a household name by now.
But why is there such an ignorant person to cause trouble at this time?
Hearing the report from his subordinates, He Zexu also frowned. Not only had he suffered from insomnia these past few days, but he also had aphthous sores in his mouth. It hurt even if he didn't speak. He was afraid that his wife would feel distressed and worried so he didn't dare to tell her.
"Bring him in." Wei Zijun didn't think much about it.
"Sanniang?" He Zexu wanted to persuade her to be kind to the people but also to be kind.
Wei Zijun gave him a comforting look and said nothing.
When the subordinate saw that his wife wanted to see her, he immediately went to bring her over.
Xiaopang is eight years old this year, and it's almost winter. His chubby face is covered with sweat, and he was very excited. But when he saw He Zexu's stern face next to him, he was so scared that his face immediately tensed up.
"You came here running, tell me why you want to see me?" Wei Zijun asked warmly.
When the little fat man heard Wei Zijun speak, his tense little face softened slightly, and he moved towards her in small steps.
"Madam, it was my grandfather who asked me to come." When Xiaopang said this, he felt that the expressions of madam's husband and the subordinate next to him became even more frightening. He couldn't help but pause for a moment and leaned closer to Wei Zijun.
At such a young age, he is so ignorant and ignorant! He Zexu and his subordinates all have the same thoughts.
"Madam, isn't there a vegetable cellar in our backyard that is leaking and cannot be used? My grandfather and father were too busy with business in the shop, so they didn't bother to fill the cellar.
However, this afternoon, the palm leaf rope for tying dried tofu was used up. We couldn’t buy it in the city. My father thought about whether he could use the wheat straw piled in the backyard and soften it with boiling water to replace the palm leaf rope.
Then, he found that the lid of the waste vegetable cellar had been moved and was not tightly closed. There were footprints on the side. He came from the wall. Thinking that he had been catching bad guys these past two days, he asked me to come quickly.
Tell the lady."
The little fat man controlled himself not to look at the two fierce men in the room, finished what he wanted to say in one breath, and then exhaled.
"Sanniang, you are at home, bring someone over for your husband." He Zexu immediately stood up and walked out, and his subordinates quickly followed.
In fact, when they heard the little fat man talking about the water-seeking vegetable cellar, the two of them wanted to reprimand them. Should the city lord solve the problem if the vegetable cellar leaks?
When they heard later that the lid had been moved, the two of them immediately realized that the fish that had slipped through the net that could not be found was most likely hiding in the vegetable cellar.
"There's no need to be in a hurry. My father and grandfather have already covered the lid and lifted the millstone to press it on top." Seeing the two of them hurried out, the little fat man called from behind.
Wei Zijun smiled and went to get some cakes and snacks for the little fat man. The child waved his hands repeatedly: "I won't take it now. I'll come back one day. Madam, I'm going back first."
The little fat man usually likes to eat cakes the most. The tofu shop at home is doing well, but he doesn’t eat them often. Today I have to go back quickly to catch the bad guys. All the delicious cakes and snacks are no longer delicious.
"Run slowly, don't fall." Watching the little fat man run away, Wei Zijun reminded him behind him.
"I understand, ma'am." The little fat man responded urgently, without even looking back.
Xiao Le and Ruyi, who had just entered the yard after returning from the Yamen, did not see their father leading the people out to arrest him. They only saw the back of the little fat man running away. When they entered the house, they saw their mother packing clothes, which belonged to their father.
"Mom? What is this? Is dad going to Loucheng too?" Ruyi asked confused, not even bothering to ask what the fat man from the tofu shop was doing.
Xiao Le didn't ask, but she knew that since her mother was packing her father's things, that would be it.
"Mom, how did you persuade Dad? Especially, the killer last time is still missing." After thinking about it, Xiao Le also asked. "Could it be? Caught it? When did it happen? What can I do?
Didn’t you hear any movement?”
"Didn't you see it when you came back?" Wei Zijun stopped what he was doing and asked while pulling his worried daughter to his side.
Xiao Le thought for a while: "I just saw the little fat guy from the tofu shop."
Wei Zijun told the two children what happened. Although they haven't seen the results yet, it is basically stable.
Within half an hour, He Zexu came back. Looking at his expression, the third mother in the family knew that the killer had really been caught.
Who would have thought that after so many people were used to search, no one was found, and some people were even more tempered than before.
As a result, the guy actually hid in the people's vegetable cellars.
After catching the killer, He Zexu felt better and told his wife and children about the scene of the arrest.
The vegetable cellar was leaking and could not store winter vegetables. The killer was quite smart and knew that the owner of such a vegetable cellar would not notice.
However, this guy is quite unlucky. Most people use wood for the cover of the vegetable cellar. The little fat man’s house originally had a wood cover, but the adults in the family are careful and careful. In the summer, it rains on the cellar cover.
It's a bit moldy and not strong, so I'm worried that if my children are naughty and running around, they might fall in.
Especially since there was water seeping inside, if a child accidentally fell in, he or she might drown, so a bluestone slab was put up to cover it.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The slate is a bit heavy, and an adult can barely move it, but it stays on top of it just fine.
Therefore, as soon as you see a slight change in the position of the stone slab, you can tell it immediately.
The father, who is also the little fat man, is thoughtful and alert. When he saw that the footprints were in a single line, he could immediately think that bad guys were being caught outside recently.
They didn't go close to check inside first, but quietly went back and called their old father and brothers, then lifted a millstone and pressed it on.
Otherwise, if the people in the vegetable cellar are alarmed, they are martial arts practitioners. He will react first when he senses something is wrong. If he leaves, the adult men in the tofu shop will not even think of stopping him.
"You haven't seen that guy. He was in a panic. Before he hid in, he had food on him. He didn't dare to come out. He didn't have much food, so he ate sparingly.
I had eaten all the food a few days ago, but I didn't dare to go out to look for food. I thought I would hold on for a few more days until the search outside was less stringent before I came out.
As a result, he was so hungry that even though he heard someone approaching from above and loaded something up, he didn't even have the strength to stand up and check.
There was no need for interrogation at all. After being brought up, he took the initiative to explain everything and just begged for some food." He Zexu said with a smile.
"Hey, what's wrong with Ruyi?" After saying that, he noticed that his daughter's expression was wrong and asked.
"I saw mom packing your clothes." Xiao Le told her father the answer.
Hearing his son's words, He Zexu looked at his wife, stood up and went to his daughter, reaching out and stroking her head: "Ruyi, don't worry, dad and your eldest brother will be fine. You can stay at home with your mother,
When we come back, our family of five will be fine."
A family of five, upon hearing this, Wei Zijun subconsciously looked towards her husband...
