The villain and traitor is my brother

Chapter 14

It was too late that day, and Zheng Qiuyun didn't go to East Street until the next day.She stayed on guard for a whole day, but there was no sign of Feng Long.

She talked to the old woman selling vegetables next to her, "Madam, when you sell vegetables here, does anyone collect protection fees?"

The old woman curled her lips and said, "Why not? Then Feng Long often comes to collect protection money. If he doesn't pay, he will beat people."

"Doesn't the government care?"

"Our magistrate is a good official, and he imprisoned Feng Long several times. But after Feng Long came out, he became even more arrogant, and even had to beat up the people who complained. Who dares to file a complaint, it's just because of the suffering. .”

As she spoke, she shed tears again.

The man selling Japonica rice next door interjected, "If he goes too far, the shopkeeper of Qingyuan Restaurant will also take care of him."

Zheng Qiuyun was curious, "The shopkeeper of Qingyuan Restaurant?"

"Yes, Feng Long is shopkeeper Li's brother-in-law. Shopkeeper Li is open for business and doesn't want Feng Long to ruin his reputation."

Zheng Qiuyun no longer stayed with Feng Long. She prepared at home for a few days and went directly to the shopkeeper of Qingyuan Restaurant.

Shopkeeper Li wears a brocade hat and fox fur, a piece of white jade on his waist, and a jade ring on his thumb.Seeing Zheng Qiuyun, he asked cheerfully, "I wonder what the girl wants from me?"

Zheng Qiuyun got straight to the point, "Do you know about your brother-in-law's beating?"

He pretended to be confused, "Why did the girl say this?"

Zheng Qiuyun didn't beat around the bush, "I made the fish balls, and I am the only one who has the recipe and ingredients. Since your brother-in-law is a local snake on East Street, he should also know how popular these fish balls are, right?"

"The prescription is for you."

Shopkeeper Li stopped pretending to be confused now, "Is this true?"

"Of course, but I have two conditions."

"Girl, please speak."

"The prescription was given to you, but your brother-in-law hit someone, so we can't just let it go."

"Isn't it too much for me to beat him up?"

"Not too much."

"He beat Chen Ergou so badly that Chen Ergou can't continue to work at the stall, and he may starve to death in the winter. Is it reasonable to ask your brother-in-law to pay 20 taels of silver?"

Shopkeeper Li thought about it for a while and figured it out again.Anyway, he doesn’t have to pay, as long as his brother-in-law pays.But he still said, "Girl, these two demands are not too much. It's just that my brother-in-law is a bastard. How can he listen to me?"

Zheng Qiuyun smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Li, you can ask your brother-in-law how much I can sell the fish balls in a day, and then think about whether you want to agree to my request."

"The new year is approaching, and these fish balls haven't reached their best selling time yet. When you figure it out, bring your brother-in-law to Zhutian Village to find me."

"By the way," Zheng Qiuyun reminded him, "if Shopkeeper Li doesn't want it, we won't force it. Your family is not the only one in this restaurant."

Chen Ergou is right. The local snakes use their power to bully others and treat ordinary people as ants, but the people above the local snakes only treat them as dogs.

As a businessman, take advantage of the word profit.

As soon as Zheng Qiuyun returned to Zhutian Village, shopkeeper Li brought his brother-in-law to apologize.

When the magnificent carriage passed by the entrance of the village, people who wanted to join in the fun followed it to have a look. They wanted to know whose relative it was and why it was so impressive.

The carriage stopped at the door of Chen Ergou's house, and the people who joined in the fun started talking about it.

"Are you here to beat Chen Ergou again?"

"It must be! I have never heard of Chen Ergou having such powerful relatives."

"It's over, Chen Ergou must die."

Shopkeeper Li got off the carriage, and the wealth all over his body made everyone more determined that these people were here to take Chen Ergou's life.

Some people wanted to go home and get sticks. After all, they were from the same village. They couldn't watch Chen Ergou being beaten to death.

Then, I saw a tied man getting out of the car.

"Isn't this Feng Long who collects protection fees on East Street?"

"Yeah, why is he tied up?"

Shopkeeper Li walked into Chen Ergou's house and saw Zheng Qiuyun there.

"Girl, I've kidnapped my brother-in-law and let you do whatever you want."

Chen Ergou was so frightened that he fell off the bed.
