After moving out of the residence, he took his whole family to escape the famine

Chapter 125 Chapter 127 Expanding the Medicine Hall Business

Su Nanxing didn't know that Zhu Hengqing was already there that night, so he ran to the inn to check.

It's a pity that Zhu Hengqing was a step slow.

When he arrived, the shopkeeper had already taken the money and ran away.

"I definitely know, it's just a matter of speed."

At this time, Wei Haidong caught a glimpse of a large box placed behind the carriage. His eyes brightened and he stared at Su Nanxing in surprise.

"Could it be that Miss Su wants to make up a person out of thin air to take on the charge of reselling coal and make it difficult for Zhu Hengqing to speak?!"

Su Nanxing smiled lightly, "Exactly, since he said in front of so many people that he was not the one selling coal, then I will find someone else to do it, and it will make him uncomfortable."

Wei Haidong tried his best to suppress the smile on his lips. Su Nanxing was really hurt!

Zhu Hengqing is so narrow-minded and cautious. It must be very uncomfortable for him to suffer such a dumb loss for the first time.

"Miss Su has such a good plan, I will definitely not hold Miss Su back."

"Okay, I'll leave the money with you, no problem."

"Don't worry, Miss Su."

"Master Wei, after all the investigations are completed, you can say that you have caught the thief. Don't think there are some evil-hearted people who didn't buy that much. Just say that you bought that much."

Wei Haidong nodded and turned to talk about other things, "I would like to ask Miss Su, do you want to expand the medicine hall business? The medicine hall next to Dongshi is overcrowded. Many people have been waiting all day, but they can't get in line for consultation."

Su Nanxing knew that this was also a problem.

She thought for a moment and took out a bag of silver from her sleeve.

"I'll give you this money. I don't have a new store for the time being, so I'll ask Mr. Wei to find another store for me in the south and west of the city."

Su Nanxing didn't need to worry about the clerk's affairs at all. He only needed to tell Shopkeeper Zhao of the medicine hall to recruit more people.

Su Nanxing didn't go home until he sent Wei Haidong back to the prefect and sent a box of silver into the mansion through the small door in the backyard.

There was nothing much to do in the afternoon, so she stayed at home and slept.

Mother Su is studying with her two children.

She asked Lin Feng to collect many books and found that Lin Feng was really a good boy.

He is polite, capable, and eloquent. He knows a lot. Every time he comes, he tells some interesting stories to make himself happy.

Mother Su's impression of Lin Feng, from being wary at the beginning, became more and more fond of the child.

Zhu Hengqing sent a large number of people to find the whereabouts of shopkeeper Daofeng. In just one night, he was caught.

At that time, shopkeeper Huang tried his best to escape in order not to be caught. He was injured by three arrows. Although they were a bit serious, luckily they did not hit any vital points.

Two of them were inserted into the thighs, and one was inserted into the upper right side of the back, near the shoulder.

No one treated the wounds on his body.

The protruding arrow tail was cut off by Zhu Hengqing's men with a knife, but the arrowhead was still in the flesh.

Shopkeeper Huang was thrown on the cold ground like a dead fish.

Zhu Hengqing held a barbed whip in his hand and swung it hard on Shopkeeper Huang's back, dyeing the light blue clothes into dark red.

He stretched out his foot to step on the opponent's face, and the hard heel even spun.

"what!!!"

Shopkeeper Huang let out a scream.

"I ask you, where did the money go?"

"Uh ah... I don't know, Boss Zhu, please let me go. This money was stolen by others... ahhh!!"

"You lied! You are the only one who knows the whereabouts of this money! If you don't tell the truth, I will kill all your family members!"

Zhu Hengqing looked coldly at the tied-up shopkeeper Huang's family behind him. Several children huddled together in fear and cried softly.

"Boss Zhu, my family is all with you. Just think about it, how could I do such a thing?"

Zhu Heng's green eyes were filled with anger, and he turned to stare at Shopkeeper Huang, "If it wasn't you, then why were you running away! You clearly have a guilty conscience!"

"This... so much money has been lost, I'm afraid you're weird..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Hengqing was so angry that he kicked him again.

what!

Just because of this little thing, why did you run away?

If the shopkeeper could have reported the news earlier, he might have caught the thief. Now after a night, the thief doesn't even know how far he has run!

"Tell me the truth about what happened that day, and I'll spare you once."

Shopkeeper Huang looked happy and hurriedly told everything about that day, and also described the appearance of the tenant that day.

After everything was explained, shopkeeper Huang looked at Zhu Hengqing expectantly, "Boss Zhu, can you let me go now?"

Zhu Hengqing sneered, "Oh, they are all locked up. When will the truth be found out, when will they be released?"

Shopkeeper Huang wanted to crawl over and grab the opponent's leg. After being dodged, he screamed: "No! Please!"

Zhu Hengqing watched with his own eyes as Shopkeeper Huang and his family were tied into an iron cage before leaving. They left the secret prison where they were being questioned and passed by the front yard.

He happened to see Pei Wenyue coming in from outside.

"Brother Pei, what are you doing outside?"

Last night, they only cared about the family property and put Pei Wenyue aside, not caring about what he was doing.

"I went to meet some friends."

"friend?"

Zhu Hengqing wondered, if Pei Wenyue had friends, why would he need to sleep in his own home?

Pei Wenyue saw his doubts and explained: "They are just poor people who have nowhere to go. I feel sorry for them, so I went to give them food."

Zhu Hengqing felt a little unhappy.

Let the other person live in the same house, and the other person also needs to use the food served by him as a favor to others?

But he didn't show it, he just asked: "What kind of friend makes Brother Pei so interested in me?"

Pei Wenyue did not elaborate, but smiled mysteriously, "Brother Zhu, of course it will be a stepping stone for you and me to ascend to the position of city lord."

Zhu Hengqing was surprised. Brother Pei wanted to come to such a big party?

The body of the last person who did this was still hanging in the camp in the south of the city, frozen into a mummy.

"Isn't this inappropriate?"

"What's wrong? As long as we catch Wei Haidong's slightest mistake, we can use it to incite these people to go to the prefect to protest! We don't need to come forward. Only Zhu Di will come forward."

Pei Wenyue said, his eyes shining brightly.

Zhu Hengqing didn't say anything. Why did he feel that Brother Pei was trying to drag him into trouble?

If you don't take responsibility for what you do, why should you take responsibility for it?

He knows there is no such thing as a free lunch.

Whatever you get, you have to pay the same price.

But he didn't know what Pei Wenyue wanted him to do.

"Brother Pei, just...just...be on your own. I think Ning Fancheng is fine now."

He just wanted to make money and give face to the Zhu family of Capital City. There was no need to take the risk of rebelling. He might bring the Zhu family of Capital City into trouble as well.

Pei Wenyue stared at him without saying a word, with a treacherous smile on his face, which made Zhu Hengqing a little uncomfortable.

Why is the other person looking at him like this?

Pei Wenyue did not say anything directly, "Brother Zhu, think about it carefully and I will wait for the day when you give me an answer."

Zhu Hengqing didn't say anything now because he was not forced into a hurry, so he had to wait for an opportunity to make the other party hate Wei Haidong!
