Qian Jiujiu was stunned for a second before she realized that the yamen runners on the other side had shown her what it meant to turn against each other. Once they were in her place, she could do whatever she wanted, and she could directly detain them, and even take Fang Xiaoxi alone for interrogation.
Who knows what kind of interrogation this is? The bailiff frowned and was about to go forward to pull Fang Xiaoxi. Fang Xiaoxi hid behind Qian Jiujiu and was safe and sound. In fact, she didn't mind going to see who was causing trouble. But the master wouldn't let her, and she couldn't let the master worry.
Seeing that the yamen runner was about to make a move, Mu Yexiao stepped forward and kicked the runner over. "Go tell the people behind you that it's impossible for my disciple to go see him alone. If we have to meet him, we have to go together."
The yamen runner really didn't expect that he would be beaten when he arrived at his territory. He was almost angry to death. He stood up and called a few people to rush into the cell, cursing: "You dare to fight back here, wait and see how I teach you a lesson."
It was simply lawless. Mu Yexiao was really angry this time and had no intention of showing mercy. He kicked them all out one by one.
Many yamen runners were dumbfounded. This was an expert. It seemed that things were not going to be easy. Some people kindly advised: "You'd better not resist. Even if you can fight, can you beat those people from the Supervisory Committee?"
"If those people from the Supervisory Committee take action, they will definitely be able to suppress you, and then you will be in a worse situation. We are doing this for your own good."
Hearing about the Supervisory Committee, Qian Jiujiu remembered something. Isn't Jiang Hu in charge of the current Supervisory Committee? Could it be that the people in the Supervisory Committee would collude with local officials? When Qian Jiujiu thought of this possibility, his face turned ugly.
"What? Are the people in the Supervisory Committee as unreasonable as you? They don't investigate the truth of the matter, but just suppress people indiscriminately?"
When the yamen runner heard this, he sneered twice: "What are you thinking about? The people from the Supervisory Committee are just a group of warriors. How can they find out the truth of the matter? Do you think they are imperial envoys?"
As expected, in the eyes of these people, the only one they were afraid of was the Imperial Envoy. This was simply absurd. The yamen runner continued, "Besides, you have the strength to kick us now, how many times can you kick us? Are you going to get out with your family? The people above are just interrogating us, they are not going to do anything else, why are you reacting so strongly?"
Just an interrogation? Qian Jiujiu was stunned. The bailiff who had just arrived was too arrogant. He had also said that Fang Xiaoxi should go alone. It didn't look like an interrogation at all.
"Why interrogate a little girl like her?"
The bailiff was somewhat speechless: "She made the hot sauce, so she must be brought in for questioning. It is useless to question anyone else."
Mu Yexiao didn't believe it at all: "When we came, you said that he had been convicted. Now you are bringing him to trial again. We don't believe you. Unless you let my wife go with the child, otherwise, I won't let the child go alone."
The yamen runner took a look at Qian Jiujiu and found that she was beautiful. He couldn't help but twitch his lips, and looked at Mu Yexiao with sympathy.
Originally, Mr. Zheng's only goal was the little girl, but who would reject a beautiful woman? It was not enough to lose the child, but he also had to sacrifice his wife. This was the first time the yamen runner had seen someone who was looking for death.
Qian Jiujiu did not make a move from beginning to end, and people thought she was a weak woman at first glance, so they did not take her seriously: "Okay, just accompany me."
The yamen runner originally wanted to show off his status here, but it was obviously unsuccessful, so he still had to take Qian Jiujiu.
When taking Qian Jiujiu and Fang Xiaoxi away, the yamen runner looked at Mu Yexiao pitifully before turning around and leaving.
That look made Mu Yexiao a little angry. Nan Nan also frowned, and then snorted: "Dad, don't be angry. If they look down on mom, they will suffer a great loss."
That's true. If his wife is really angry, I'm afraid this prefectural government office won't be able to contain her anger. Well, he'll help out when the time comes and give these guys a leg up.
The bailiff brought Qian Jiujiu and Fang Xiaoxi to the door of Master Zheng's room: "Master Zheng, the people are here."
Qian Jiujiu looked at the door of the room and his face darkened: "Is this what you call an interrogation? In a room like this?"
The bailiff laughed maliciously: "You will know once you go in. Why do you want to regret it now that you are here?"
After opening the door of the room, the bailiff reached out to push Qian Jiujiu, but Qian Jiujiu stepped in first, making his move in vain.
He took back his hands and walked in quickly: "Master Zheng, this is Miss Fang's master. He was worried about Miss Fang coming alone, so he brought her along."
Zheng Huarong had already stood up and was looking at Qian Jiujiu who had just walked in. After hearing what the yamen runner said, he nodded with satisfaction: "Hahaha, good, well done. You can stand aside, I can do this myself."
Master and disciple, he likes it. Moreover, it is such a beautiful lady, who would not like it! The yamen runner could only step aside, looking at Master Zheng with some envy.
Qian Jiujiu glanced at the man named Zheng. His dirty mind could be seen at a glance. It was really ugly.
"Who are you? What is your position in this government office?"
Master Zheng laughed out loud: "My beauty is really naive. To tell you the truth, I don't hold any position in this government office. But I can walk around in the government office like a tyrant. Do you know how powerful I am?"
Qian Jiujiu raised his eyebrows: "So the prefect is your father?"
Master Zheng was drinking water. When he heard this, he almost spit out his breath and quickly waved his hands: "No, no, no, it's not my father, it's my brother-in-law."
After he finished speaking, Master Zheng was stunned. Why did he just reveal his identity so obediently? He looked at Qian Jiujiu and said, "My beauty, now you know that my status is not low, right? You say that businessmen like you, why do you have to go against me? Right."
Qian Jiujiu was a little amused: "Go against you? We don't know how to go against you? We still don't know what happened. Can you tell us what happened again?"
Master Zheng looked at Qian Jiujiu speechlessly: "Don't you really know? Miss Fang, your hot sauce has poisoned people. This is murder, a life for a life. But, with me here, how can I bear to see such a beautiful girl being beheaded!"
"So this young master intends to help you. As long as you become my woman, no one will pursue such a small matter as poisoning someone to death."
Qian Jiujiu said, "So you are planning to protect the criminal who poisoned someone to death? Or did no one get poisoned at all, and you ordered others to frame my disciple. I just want to know, is there such a person who was poisoned to death?"
If an innocent person was poisoned to death in order to frame Fang Xiaoxi, she would never let the people in this government office have an easy time.
Master Zheng laughed out loud: "Of course there is such a person who was poisoned to death. Otherwise, do you think I would frame you with empty words?"
This guy is a fool, he actually said it out loud. But the more people like this, the more excessive it is. People who are both stupid and bad are really annoying.
Fang Xiaoxi's expression also turned ugly: "In order to get my hot sauce recipe, you really poisoned someone to death. You are really brave to treat human life like this."
Master Zheng laughed smugly: "What's the point of a worthless human life? In my eyes, those poor people are just like grass. I can kill them if I want to, and no one can do anything to me."
"As for you, you should make a choice quickly. Do you want to be my woman and give me the formula, or do you want me to use force? To be honest, among you two, I prefer to use force, hahaha."
Fang Xiaoxi now understood why she didn't get any orders from Rongcheng: "So I didn't get any orders from Rongcheng because of you."
Master Zheng nodded proudly: "You just realized it, of course it was me. Who else could it be besides me? I am the president of the Rongcheng Chamber of Commerce, so all merchants who want to develop in Rongcheng must pay tribute to me in advance and obtain my consent before they can do so."
"So, my beautiful girl, have you made up your mind? If you follow me, you will be able to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks. Your life will be much better than if you go around selling your hot sauce."
Hearing that this guy was actually the president of a chamber of commerce, Qian Jiujiu's face became even uglier. People doing business in Rongcheng must have a really hard life.
Taking a deep breath, Qian Jiujiu was about to speak when he heard Fang Xiaoxi reject him: "You are really stupid and bad. If I follow someone like you, I will die miserably, so forget it."
Mr. Zheng's expression suddenly turned ugly: "You are drinking a glass of wine for refusing to accept my toast."
Fang Xiaoxi shook her head, "We won't drink anything. We are here to put an end to you. The evil you have done so far is coming to an end."
Master Zheng suddenly laughed out loud: "Did you hear what she said? She came to put an end to me. I'm so scared. Since you don't obey, I'll arrest you first. The little girl is so stubborn. She doesn't care about your master's family at all."
Fang Xiaoxi rolled her eyes: "Do you still want to use my master's family to threaten me? Let me tell you, my master can crush you to death with just his little finger."
Master Zheng was also angry and snorted: "One finger can crush me to death? Okay, come on, I want to see how she is going to crush me to death..."
Before he could finish his words, Qian Jiujiu had already moved to his side, with a dagger against Master Zheng's throat.
