Chapter 81 How did you get into trouble?
In the restaurant, Chang Wei inadvertently glanced downstairs. When he turned around, he suddenly wondered if he had seen it wrong. He turned his head back and looked down again, but he could not hear what the other person was saying.
The wine glass in his hand suddenly hit the table, startling Meng Hetang who was sitting opposite him.
"what happened?"
Chang Wei bowed and said, "Brother Meng, I'm going downstairs to take care of something!"
After saying that, he ran downstairs.
Manager Chang hurried to the window, and when he saw Jiang Xiaohe "parading through the streets" with her hands tied by the yamen runners, he slapped his forehead. He knew that after listening to the fortune teller, his master had set his mind on this young widow.
Meng Hetang followed his gaze and saw that Chang Wei had already left the restaurant and was heading towards Jiang Xiaohe.
"Brother Chang, what happened?"
Manager Chang didn't say anything. Meng Hetang watched him run to a woman and asked, "Could it be that woman is the one that Brother Chang has been thinking about so much?"
Manager Chang nodded: "That's right! Master Meng, please sit down for a while. I'll go and take a look."
Meng Hetang picked up the wine glass, took a sip of the wine with some interest, and said with a smile: "Go!"
As soon as everyone left, Meng Hetang shouted downstairs and Shopkeeper Yu came running over immediately.
"Go get me a bowl of that water you drank this morning."
Shopkeeper Yu turned around and left immediately.
He picked up the wine glass and looked back, only to see Chang Wei running to Jiang Xiaohe and shouting, "Jiang Xiaohe!"
This shout startled Jiang Xiaohe and Wang Qiuxia, who were walking with their heads down.
Passers-by looked at them.
Chang Wei rushed up, and when the yamen runner saw him, he immediately bowed and smiled, "Master Chang!"
Chang Wei glanced at Jiang Xiaohe, then looked at the yamen runners: "What crime have they committed?"
The bailiff looked at Chang Wei and then at Jiang Xiaohe and the others, feeling a little puzzled. Could it be that the Chang Wei in front of him knew these people?
If he knew him, he would immediately cry out inwardly that something was wrong.
"I'm asking you a question. What did they do wrong? Do you want me to ask your headman?"
The bailiff quickly said no, no need.
“They disrupt the market and fight in the market!”
Jiang Xiaohe immediately said: "He is talking nonsense, it is obviously..."
"Did you get asked to speak?" The bailiff interrupted Jiang Xiaohe.
"If you're not guilty, are you afraid of me saying it?"
The bailiff stared at her with gritted teeth.
"Let her speak! Jiang Xiaohe, tell me, how did you get into trouble in just a short while?"
There was something ambiguous about these words. Manager Chang had only heard such a sentence since he took over. He rolled his eyes in his heart. His master really took advantage of other girls anytime and anywhere.
Jiang Xiaohe glared at Chang Wei, who immediately swallowed and then wondered, why was he a little afraid of her?
Zeng Hua looked at Wang Qiuxia, only to see that Wang Qiuxia looked somewhat unhappy.
Zhang Daniu looked at Chang Wei and felt uncomfortable for some reason.
Jiang Xiaohe felt that Chang Wei always spoke without thinking, like a fool. However, she also noticed that the yamen runner seemed to know Chang Wei and was somewhat respectful to him, so she said, "After my mother and I sold our things, we went to the market to find our second aunt and cousins. But when we got there, we saw that our second aunt's stall had been smashed. We found out that it was the yamen runner's eldest brother's brother-in-law who was jealous of our second aunt's good business and deliberately made trouble to smash our second aunt's stall. We argued with them for a few words, and the yamen runner's eldest brother-in-law called him over and asked him to arrest us and put us in jail for a few days."
At this time, many people stayed to watch the fun. After hearing what Jiang Xiaohe said, the look in their eyes when they looked at the bailiff changed.
After hearing this, Chang Wei looked at the yamen runner, his eyes becoming less warm: "Is that really the case?"
The bailiff quickly denied: "Master Chang, how could that be! They were the ones who gathered in the market to cause trouble, so I arrested them."
The yamen runner looked at Chang Wei. If he didn't know that Chang Wei had some relationship with the head of the pavilion, he wouldn't need to explain anything to him.
"Oh? If that's the case, I'll take them to the government office, and you go call your brother-in-law to confront him in court, okay?"
The yamen runner frowned slightly: "Master Chang, this is not necessary."
"No need? Why is it unnecessary? Since it was your brother-in-law who caused the trouble, you should have arrested him as well. But now I see there are only a few of them here. Could it be that you are corrupt and showing favoritism?"
The yamen runner waved his hands hastily, thinking several times in his mind, and scolded his brother-in-law several times, blaming him for kicking the steel plate today, but he knew even more clearly that if this matter was brought to the attention of the head of the pavilion, he would not be able to keep the yamen runner's hat on his head: "Master Chang, how about this, since they are acquainted with you, as long as they don't commit crimes again in the future, I will release them now."
Chang Wei naturally didn't want to offend anyone, so if he was willing to do so, that would be the best.
But Jiang Xiaohe said, "We don't agree!"
Zeng Hua immediately whispered, "Xiao He, I think this is fine."
Jiang Xiaohe looked at Zeng Hua: "Second Aunt, didn't you notice that the big girl is not here?"
After she said this, the other three people realized that Zhang Da Nv was not there.
"I was just at the market, and I secretly asked the girl to go to the door and play the drum!"
When she said this, she was staring at the bailiff.
"Today, you want to secretly arrest us and put us in jail, but it's impossible! The people in the government office might be looking for you too!"
Just as she finished speaking, two yamen runners came over from a distance.
Two people ran up and said, "Wang Hu, what have you done wrong? The head of the pavilion is looking for you! We have already searched for you."
After saying that, he leaned against Wang Hu and whispered a few words: Someone has accused you of favoritism and corruption for your own selfish reasons!
After listening to what they said, Wang Hu immediately turned around and glared at Jiang Xiaohe. Then he became afraid and silently cursed his brother-in-law's ancestors for eighteen generations.
The two yamen runners only then noticed Chang Wei standing beside them and respectfully called out, "Master Chang."
Chang Wei nodded slightly, then looked at Jiang Xiaohe. For some reason, he felt more and more satisfied with this woman. This woman's brain didn't look like that of a peasant woman at all!
Jiang Xiaohe stood there neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Let's go. Since the pavilion chief is waiting, I'll go and take a look." However, when he saw the ropes on Jiang Xiaohe and the others' hands, he frowned slightly and asked, "Can you untie them?"
The two yamen runners immediately smiled and said yes.
The four people's hands were all red from being strangled. Jiang Xiaohe moved her wrists and looked at Wang Hu coldly: "Now that we are in the government office, I'm afraid you will be in trouble!"
After Jiang Xiaohe finished speaking, she took Wang Qiuxia and Zeng Hua and followed the two yamen runners away.
Wang Hu was the only one left, feeling extremely angry.
Seeing that she still had the temper to threaten the yamen runners, Chang Wei thought that this woman was not only interesting but also cute. He pushed Wang Hu and said, "Let's go."
Wang Hu now felt that he was in a dilemma. He thought that he did not check the almanac before going out today, and he was afraid that he might not be able to keep his position today.
