For almost all the people in Heyang, this night is no different from the countless nights before.
Only those shopkeepers who woke up from their sleep because the door of their shop was kicked open knew that something happened last night.
But shopkeepers are also at a loss as to how big of a deal it is.
The most reliable guess is that the common gangsters on their street wanted to cause trouble at night, but the government officials immediately took action to stop them.
Although I am quite surprised by the efficiency of the government, considering the series of changes in public security after the new city captain took office, it seems that such incredible efficiency is not impossible.
However, when a new announcement was posted on the bulletin board in front of the government office early the next morning, all the curious people who gathered around to see clearly the content of the announcement were shocked!
The news seemed to have wings. In just one morning, it spread to almost every corner of Heyang City!
It turned out that on this night when they were sleeping soundly, something serious and treacherous happened?!
Almost all the gangsters in Heyang participated in it? And they were all killed by Xincheng Lieutenant? This seems... a happy event that is enough to celebrate!
Su Meiniang stood in the shop, staring blankly at the excited expression on her maid's face, listening to the maid's story, and for a moment she felt as if she was in a dream.
It wasn't until her maid finished telling her story that Su Meiniang came back to her senses and asked very uncertainly: "You mean, all the gangsters in the city are finished? Including that bastard Wei Daya... are finished too?"
"Yes, Miss! That's what it says on the bulletin board! All the gangsters in the city conspired to rebel together last night. The city captain discovered it in advance, so he arranged for people to kill them all. And after a sudden trial overnight, the case has been decided. It was the case before
The expelled policemen are plotting, and the gangsters are accomplices. So the policemen will be beheaded, and the gangsters will all be sent to the border areas. Now we just have to wait for the court's confirmation before we can execute it!"
The little maid looked happy, held her hands in front of her chest, and said yearningly: "Sir Cheng Wei is so powerful. Not long after he took office, he first took down the policemen and street patrol officers who usually bully us.
Everything has been done, and now the gangsters have been dealt with. Miss, we will definitely start to live a good life in the future!"
Su Meiniang didn't quite hear what her maid said behind her.
Because her mind was filled with images of Wei Daya standing in front of her shop with an arrogant look on his face, not only teasing her verbally, but also deliberately affecting her business.
However, the street patrol officials turned a blind eye to such actions. As long as Wei Daya did not do anything too extreme, no street patrol officials would step in to stop him.
Ever since her father died a year ago and she had no choice but to take over the silk and satin shop, Su Meiniang has always been distressed and sad because of this incident.
Even if I can't control my tears at night, I still have to persevere during the day and maintain a tough enough attitude, otherwise people like Wei Daya will definitely take advantage of it.
I originally thought that I would have to endure such a bleak day forever, but I never thought that just overnight, the dark clouds would disappear and the sunshine would return?
Could it be...a dream?
"Miss? Miss! What are you doing? This is a good thing. I will cut two kilograms of meat later, buy some wine, and cook some good dishes. Let's have a good time."
The little maid took Su Meiniang's hand, shook it and said.
"Ah? Yes, it's a good thing and should be celebrated! Recently, a new wine called Immortal Drunk has been released in the city. There has been some sort of Bacchus competition held these past two days. After drinking it, many people said that this wine is the best in the world.
One, why not buy a pound of this Immortal Drunk and try it."
Su Meiniang said with a smile.
"The Immortal is Drunk? Miss, I know that wine is very expensive. It's three hundred coins per catty, or the price after discount. It's said that after the discount period, it will be sold for three hundred coins per catty. We don't need to drink something so expensive, right?"
?It’s enough to buy some Heyang Daqu.”
The little maid said with a look of resistance.
Obviously, he is extremely repelled by the price of Xianrenzui.
"It's okay, it's just a pound. We can still afford it. Without Wei Daya to cause trouble in the future, business will definitely get better and better. Don't worry."
Su Meiniang pinched the little maid's cheek, and after saying that, she started to clean up the shop, as if she was going to close the door directly.
"Miss, what do you want to do? Does it close at noon?"
The little maid asked blankly.
"You go buy wine and meat. I want to take a look outside the government office. I'm really curious after hearing you praise the city captain these days. And I want to see with my own eyes the contents of the announcement about Wei Daya's punishment.
"
Su Meiniang said with a smile.
The master and servant quickly packed up the shop, closed the door of the shop, and watched the little maid walking towards the market. Su Meiniang squinted her eyes and looked up at the sky, feeling extremely relaxed.
Is this what it feels like when the weather clears?
I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but Su Meiniang just feels that the smiles on the faces of the pedestrians walking on the street seem to be much more than before.
She said hello to several shopkeepers who were familiar with her nearby. When she heard that these shopkeepers were gathering together and not paying attention to their business, but instead they were discussing the topic about Jiang Fan with great interest, Su Meiniang couldn't help but feel curious in her heart.
More and more intense.
What kind of person is the new city captain...?
In these days, Wei Daya's entanglement with her became more and more frantic, so that she lived in a state of extreme mental stress every day.
I am not in the mood to understand the new happenings and changes around me.
Although her maid often mentioned Jiang Fan's name these days, Su Meiniang's words went in one ear and out the other. Her heavy worries made it impossible for her to relax and remember things that, in her opinion, were not important at all.
.
But today, I suddenly heard the news that Wei Daya was dead, which made Su Meiniang's world turn from cloudy to sunny!
Soon we arrived at the street outside the government office. Outside the bulletin board, which was specially used to post government announcements, it was densely packed with people.
Su Meiniang looked around hesitantly, then found a seat where there seemed to be more scholars, and squeezed in with difficulty.
These scholars felt the force of being pushed away, and expressions of dissatisfaction immediately appeared on their faces. However, when they saw clearly that the person who pushed them away was a beautiful girl, the expressions of dissatisfaction disappeared instantly.
All of them blushed, but they took the initiative to make way for Su Meiniang.
Finally arriving at the bulletin board, Su Meiniang looked up at the notice posted on the bulletin board.
The content was indeed as her maid said, and among the names of the convicted people, she easily found the name 'Wei Xu'.
