"Brother-in-law, what do you think we should do if the shopkeeper of Ruyifang still doesn't know what to do and is unwilling to hand over the formula of Ruyi Dew?"
Qing'an Fucheng, Anxi County Government Office, in a side hall on the east side, a young man was pacing back and forth in the hall. Finally he couldn't help but raised his head and said to a person sitting on a chair in the hall.
On the Grand Master's chair facing the door in the hall, a middle-aged man with thin cheeks sat there calmly, with a majestic face and a calm expression. He picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said calmly: "What's the rush? Bring it back first.
He will be imprisoned for a few days and starved for three to five days before being brought up for questioning."
When the young man heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then a look of admiration immediately appeared on his face.
My brother-in-law is worthy of being a county captain, and he is very sophisticated. If an ordinary person is starved in prison for three to five days, he may not even have the strength to speak, and he will not dare to refuse him when the time comes.
By then, maybe even the thousand taels of silver can be saved.
Thinking of the booming sales of Ruyilu and the huge profits it would bring to him, he felt faintly excited.
Just as I was thinking this, there was movement from the direction of the door, and the middle-aged policeman walked in with his head lowered.
"How's it going? Did you bring him back?" Seeing the middle-aged policeman, the young man asked impatiently.
The majestic man sitting firmly on the Taishi's chair also slowly put down his tea cup and looked over.
"Sir... I did bring back two people, but..." The middle-aged head catcher saluted the county lieutenant and recounted what just happened again with a bitter look on his face.
"What, the matter was disturbed by Capt. Li?" When the young man heard this, a trace of anger appeared on his face and said: "Capt. Li, didn't you tell him that this was an order from the county captain?"
The middle-aged head catcher looked at him without saying a word, but secretly said something in his heart.
That's Capt. Li. Let alone a mere county captain, even if the county magistrate is moved out, what's the use?
"Captain Li?" The middle-aged man stood up from his chair, the expression on his face was slightly condensed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Although he is the captain of Anxi County, he is responsible for judicial arrests of thieves and hearing cases in Anxi County. Whether he is a police officer or a chief arrester, they are just his subordinates.
But Capt. Li was an exception.
Although he didn't know the other party's identity yet, on the first day she arrived at the county government office, County Magistrate Liu specifically told him not to offend Capt. Li. He couldn't bear the consequences of offending her.
Before this, he had never even heard of a woman who could be a police officer. However, even though he was full of doubts, Magistrate Liu did not reveal anything more to him. After that, there was no doubt about this female police officer.
He has always turned a blind eye to his actions.
Fortunately, although the other party has a jealous personality and always takes care of any injustice, which makes the county prison cell more lively than ever, but other than that, it does not cause much trouble to him.
He turned to look at the middle-aged agent, frowned and asked, "Do you know Captain Li and the shopkeeper?"
"I probably don't know him." The middle-aged policeman thought for a while and said.
He was all too familiar with Capt. Li's nosy temperament, so this time it must have been just a coincidence.
"Let's talk about this later..." The middle-aged man thought for a moment, said lightly, and then stepped out of the door.
"Brother-in-law..."
The young man chased after him for two steps, and when he saw him waving his hand back impatiently, he finally stopped.
There was a trace of anger on his face. He was so happy when getting benefits, but he always pushed back and forth when he needed to do things. The dignified county lieutenant was actually afraid of a head catcher under his command. If he had known better, he would not have come to see this person.
Cheap brother-in-law!
He held a small porcelain bottle tightly in his hand, his eyes burning.
No matter what, he is bound to get the formula of Ruyilu!
…………
After experiencing two small twists and turns yesterday, when Li Yi stayed in the store, he always felt that there were a few pairs of eyes staring at him in the dark, which made him feel uncomfortable just thinking about it.
This should be considered obsessive-compulsive disorder, which is incurable.
He decided to go back to the village today and recuperate for a few days. After Prince Ning's Mansion settled everything and the shops in the city were opened, no one would dare to think about Ruyilu anymore.
Of course, with so many orders placed before, Ruyilu still has to open every day, but only in the morning for customers to pick up the goods according to the order, and there will no longer be any sales in the store.
To a certain extent, this seems to be regarded as hunger marketing. When the shops open in a few days, the young ladies who have not bought Ruyilu these days may break down the doors of the shops.
He and Lao Fang were the only two people in the shop today. Li Yi was tired of eating at the noodle stalls outside these days, so he simply tidied up the kitchen behind the shop and cooked by himself.
He bought some eggs and sesame oil, and the rice was egg fried rice, which was simple and convenient. Speaking of which, he hadn't eaten it for a long time. Although he didn't particularly like it before, he still felt a little nostalgic in his heart at this time.
Sitting in the shop, Lao Fang smelled the fragrance coming from the backyard, his throat involuntarily twitched twice, and he glanced sideways in the direction of the kitchen from time to time. The shock in his heart was hard to describe in words.
It's not unusual for a man in the village to know how to cook, but if this man is an uncle, it's even more unusual.
What's more, just smelling the fragrance can make his mouth water. If his mother-in-law could have such a skill, I would probably wake up laughing every night.
After a while, Li Yi served the egg fried rice on two plates.
Among the pure white rice grains, golden eggs loom, and the fragrance is astonishing.
In this era where steaming is the mainstream, it was the first time for Lao Fang to see such a legendary food as egg fried rice.
"Uncle...can you eat this?" Lao Fang raised his head and looked at Li Yi with some suspicion.
Li Yi glanced at him, ignored Lao Fang, and took a taste with a spoon. Although his cooking skills were not as good as his mother's, they were pretty good.
Li Yi tested the poison first, and there was no strange expression on his face. Lao Fang was immediately relieved, found a small jar of wine from the counter, and returned to the dining table.
Li Yi raised his head and looked at him. This guy actually used fried rice with eggs to drink with wine. I don't know if there will be anyone coming later. This is definitely unprecedented.
Following Li Yi's example, he took a bite with a spoon. Lao Fang's face suddenly showed a satisfied expression. It was delicious. It was so damn delicious. When I go back, I must let my mother-in-law learn how to cook it, a woman.
The food cooked by her uncle was not as delicious as her uncle's. She didn't think it was embarrassing, she was embarrassed for her...
With this thought in mind, when he reached for the wine jar, a figure walked in from outside.
