Border Cook

Chapter 218 Evil Man
"There must be some misunderstanding here." Luo hurriedly explained.

"What's the misunderstanding? My eldest brother has become like this. Hurry up and compensate us with some money. I will take my eldest brother to the clinic to see a doctor!"

The thin man shouted.

The first thing he did was to ask for money, which clearly showed that he was trying to extort money from people.

Combined with what happened at Xia Ji Food Stall yesterday, Luo knew that someone was deliberately causing trouble, but he didn't know how to deal with it. He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

Niu Dunzi and his companions came over at this time.

Originally, he was injured yesterday, and Wu Xiong asked him to have a good rest today. Others were also sent to patrol West Street. Niu Dunzi was a little restless, so he went to East Street to take a look.

This is not a big deal, but it actually brought me some extra benefits!

As the saying goes, it is better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early!
Niu Dunzi came up to them excitedly, and together with his companions, he stretched out his hands to hold the two men's arms, "Since you want to go to the clinic, I'll take you there."

"It just so happens that there is a clinic not far ahead. I'll take you to have a good look. But we have to make a deal. The doctors here prescribe the strongest medicines. Medicines are meant to cure illnesses and save lives. If you are sick, they will naturally cure you. But if you are not sick, I'm afraid they are poisonous. If they hurt other parts of your body, we won't take care of them."

"You have a stomachache right now, right?"

Niu Dunzi spoke with gritted teeth, his face full of warnings, and even the hands that were tightly holding the two people were secretly exerting force, which made the two people grimace.

The two men were naturally very depressed when they encountered a tough guy to protect them. However, they refused to give up and just opened their mouths and howled.

"Come and see, Xia Ji's oden made me sick and I was irresponsible. I even called for someone to beat me up. Everyone, come and judge for yourself!"

"Ouch, ouch, my arm is about to be broken. The fish tofu in Xia Ji's Kanto stew is made of rotten fish meat. We told the truth, and the other party was so angry that he wanted to beat us to death. Is there still law in this world..."

The two people were crying and howling, looking very pitiful.

Some passers-by who were unaware of the situation saw someone hurting others, and that person was ferocious, so they looked at Niu Dunzi with some unfriendly eyes.

Some people even pointed at him and wondered where this bully came from to be so arrogant and domineering.

Seeing this, the two men cried even harder.

"Shut up!" Niu Dunzi was so angry that the veins on his forehead jumped when he saw these two people were so shameless. He suppressed his anger and shouted, "Let's not talk about the fact that Xia Ji's food has always been clean and hygienic. Even if there is a problem, you haven't even finished this string of fish tofu and your stomach is uncomfortable?"

"Even if you took rat poison, the medicine hasn't even entered your stomach yet, so why is your stomach aching?"

When the sentence came to the key point, the two people were stunned, and the people around who were watching the fun were also in an uproar.

"Next time you want to blackmail someone, you'd better use your brain and see if it's reasonable or not, so as not to embarrass yourself! But I can't let you off easily this time. I need to take you to see the officials and let the county magistrate beat you with a stick so that you will remember it!"

After Niu Dunzi finished speaking, he and his companions dragged the two people towards the county government office.

He didn't care at all about the two people's struggles and pleadings.

The man was sent to the county government office, where Niu Dunzi explained the whole story to the officers.

Upon hearing this, the bailiff quickly arrested the two men and praised Niu Dunzi for his bravery.

Niu Dunzi, who had been personally praised by the county magistrate yesterday, felt even more honored and was very happy in his heart, but he did not show it on his face. He said with a serious expression, "Punishing evil and promoting good is what every ordinary citizen should do!" The yamen runner smiled, but his companion next to Niu Dunzi shuddered.

What did brother Dunzi say?
Punish evil and promote good?

But but but...

Aren't they evil people?

Why does this sound so awkward!

After Niu Dunzi and the other man left, the county government runners became busy.

The first was to interrogate the two guys who were committing fraud and blackmail, and the second was that several more waves of people were sent here.

One wave was at the Xia Ji food stall on North Street. They secretly put dead insects into their bowls while eating, trying to eat and freeload, and spread the word that the Xia Ji food stall was unclean, but they were caught red-handed by Liu Liu, one of Wu Xiong's men.

One incident happened in Xia Ji Braised Meat Shop on West Street. Two people started to verbally abuse each other because one of them accidentally stepped on the other's foot. In the end, they got into a fight and accidentally injured a customer who came to buy braised food.

Another wave was in front of the oden stall on South Street, where a man flirted with a woman selling oden...

……

Listening to the report of County Lieutenant Feng Maocai one by one, Pei Chenghe frowned, but smiled and shook his head, "You really keep going forward and are tireless."

"Sir," Feng Maocai said, "Since these people have confessed that the one who ordered them is the master of Yueran Restaurant, why don't you let me arrest them immediately?"

It is truly despicable to be such an evil servant as Gensheng who disregards the law and the actions of the yamen.

He must be caught and severely punished!
Pei Chenghe did not answer, but asked, "Gensheng is just a waiter at Yueran Restaurant. Where did he get so much money, and why did he have such a big grudge with Xia Ji?"

Feng Maocai thought for a moment and said, "The mastermind behind this must be the owner of Yueran Restaurant, Zou Fuquan?"

"That's about it." Pei Chenghe said, "But even if you catch Gensheng, I'm afraid he won't tell the truth. At most, he will take all the blame on himself."

"Even so, we should arrest Gensheng first," Feng Maocai said, "Otherwise, wouldn't it be like allowing such an evil servant to go unpunished?"

"He must be caught, but not now." Pei Chenghe smiled.

"The prefect has sent another official document, asking Jinqiu County to provide another 200 laborers to build the city wall of Changzhou Prefecture. I think the people work hard every day, so it would be better not to recruit them from the people."

"Yes, we can send prisoners from the jail there, which can be regarded as a way to atone for our crimes." Feng Maocai nodded in agreement, but then frowned, "But right now in the prison of Jinqiu County, I'm afraid there aren't that many prisoners who can be used for labor."

"Isn't it coming soon?" Pei Chenghe said with a mysterious smile.

Feng Maocai paused, then immediately understood.

In recent days, there are many ruffians in the prison.

These people all have a not very clean background. Apart from the current affairs, if you ask them casually, you can always find out some of their past deeds, which are enough to convict them and punish them with hard labor.

Moreover, these people are all tall and strong, with strong backs and strong muscles. Sending them to do labor is a perfect use of their resources and very suitable.
