Chapter 164
Thugs: Although this reaction is similar to what they expected, but they are very angry, what's going on?

Although I was a little uneasy, I still had to do the work after receiving the money. The thugs raised their sticks and saw a piece of red powder flying in front of them, and then their eyes hurt like they had been gouged out.

"Ah!! What the hell!"

Xiaoxiao had enough chili powder, and was going to hide in the space with a broom placed by the wall while they were blind. Just as she was about to take action, she saw a few flower pots smashed on the heads of the thugs with precision. One dizzy one.

She didn't see the stones that hit the backs of these people's heads with the sound of flower pots shattering, but she saw the yamen servants rushing in from the alley.

"What's going on? Okay, Scarlet, how many of you are there again? Come back to the Yamen with us!"

After twisting those thugs backhanded, the yamen servant looked at the victim who was being troubled, and said, "Huh? Miss Ning?"

Xiaoxiao took a closer look, oh, it's the yamen servant who came to her house for dinner with Mr. Shen.

But how did they come here by such a coincidence?

Ding Yamen's servant had lingering fears: "Thanks to the fact that we just met a little beggar who said that some villains robbed him of the copper coins he begged and ran here." Although the villain was not caught, Miss Ning was saved anyway.

Xiaoxiao was surprised: such a coincidence?Luckily for her then.

Laidou and the others did a lot of stealing in the county town, and after returning to the county government office, Xiaoxiao stopped the servant and said, "Brother Ding, don't believe them if they talk about robbing money."

Ding Yamen servant expressed his willingness to hear about it, Xiaoxiao smacked her lips, and sued her best.

"They were bribed by a man named Tong Bin to trouble me. Listen to that, they want to break my leg today."

Ding Yamen Sergeant said seriously: "It's so courageous to commit murder in the street in broad daylight! We will definitely find out about this matter, and give Miss Ning justice, but is there any festival between Tong Bin and Miss Ning?"

Xiaoxiao blinked her eyes: "A good citizen like me will definitely not offend anyone, but I guess it has something to do with my buying a shop."

"What shop to buy?"

"Who is going to hit you?"

One doubtful and one angry, two voices sounded at the same time, Xiaoxiao followed the sound and stared at Mrs. Shen, mother and son.

"I said, Xiaoxiao, I thought you would come, but I never expected you to come like this."

Xiaoxiao blinked: "To tell you the truth, I was quite surprised myself."

Shen Tianci directly strode forward to look at her carefully, and then let out a long breath: "Fortunately, you are fine, which bastard dares to bully my young master's friend?"

Interrogating prisoners is the work of the county magistrate. After asking about the basic situation, Xiaoxiao was taken to Shen's house to rest. By the way, she had a look at the milk Mrs. Shen had just bought for her.

While waiting, Xiaoxiao recalled the situation in the alley just now.

The strange thing about the flower pots was that even though they were originally placed on the second floor, there was no one and there was no wind at that time, how did they fall and hit the scarlets so coincidentally?
【Master, besides you and those thugs, there was another person who appeared just now, but he disappeared when the yamen servant came. Unfortunately, I can only perceive the movement within a radius of three meters, and I don't know where he went. 】

Xiaoxiao shook her head: [Thanks to you, I was able to find out in advance and have time to prepare chili powder. 】

It seems that there are more preparations for this thing, so be prepared.

[By the way, if you upgrade again, can the perception range increase? 】

Space replied: [Yes!The four-level perception radius is four meters! 】

After all, the function is only equipped for finding ingredients, and it is already a surprise to help her check the surrounding situation, Xiaoxiao is satisfied enough.

After a while, Mrs. Shen who dismissed Shen Tianci sent someone to come over with milk.

"These are all bought from herdsmen in the southern grasslands. You can see if they are suitable for use."

Xiaoxiao shook the wooden spoon in the bucket, it was clean and slightly smelly.

Mrs. Shen's family also used milk for a while, but she used it for bathing. Later, she hated the smell and changed it to flower petal baths, so milk was no longer used.

Of course Xiaoxiao is not so extravagant for the time being, she wants milk to make cakes.

But after listening to her words, Mrs. Shen was entangled: "Isn't the pastry made with this stuff a fishy smell?"

Xiaoxiao shook her head: "You will know after you try it later."

Mrs. Shen began to look forward again: "When?"

Xiaoxiao said: "May [-]th is my eldest brother's birthday, Madam, do you have time to show me some face?"

She made an addition that Madam Shen couldn't refuse: "I'll cook."

Mrs. Shen clapped her hands, not forgetting to bring her family members along: "My husband happened to be on holiday that day."

Xiaoxiao is kind and kind: "If the county magistrate is free, please come to have a light meal. I have something for my wife that day."

After chatting about the meal, Mrs. Shen brought up the matter of the shop again, and Xiaoxiao confided all her guesses, which made Mrs. Shen very angry: "In the name of 'friend', all you do is cheating, it's shameless!"

Those people in front had been recruited just now, but they only knew that Tong Bin paid Xiaoxiao to teach them a lesson, and they really didn't know the other details.

After that, Xiaoxiao didn't care about the matter anymore. She has a specialization in surgery. She just needs to trust the magistrate's ability. When she left the county office, she happened to pass by Tong Bin who was summoned. He glared at her fiercely, but turned into shock when he saw Shen Tianci coming out to see off the guests, as if he didn't understand why this village girl met the county magistrate.

The county government's killing stick has a natural deterrent effect on people with ghosts in their hearts, and with the presence of personal and material evidence, Tong Bin's actions can't be hidden at all.It was not until today that he realized that the new county magistrate was different from the previous one.

There was no need for torture, so Tong Bin confessed honestly that he was the one who prevented shopkeeper Qian from selling the shop, and he was the one who deliberately misled shopkeeper Qian to open the bookstore, and he even found the person who broke shopkeeper Qian's leg in trouble.

Someone had approached him a long time ago, saying that he wanted to buy Shopkeeper Qian's shop, and even gave him the deposit.

County Magistrate Shen slammed the gavel majestically: "Then you can go through the formal process and recommend the two of them."

Tong Bin lay on the ground trembling: "I have already lost all the deposit. I am afraid that I will sell the shop to others, and I still haven't paid the deposit."

So he deliberately let others think that shopkeeper Qian is a bad luck ghost, and whoever buys his shop will suffer. He also added random things to the wound medicine to prevent him from recovering, and even tampered with shopkeeper Qian's wife's cold medicine...

He just wanted the money shopkeeper to be anxious and sell the shop to him at a low price in a hurry. In this way, he didn't have to pay back the deposit, and he could make a fortune from it. You know, the price offered by the person who wanted to buy the shop was a lot. 280 taels!
He owed a large sum of money to the gambling house, and was about to pack up and leave Xijiang County after making money from the money shopkeeper, and start over in another place. The deeds of the house and land at home had been quietly sold.

County magistrate Shen, who was smoothing over the whole matter, sneered: "You have made a good plan, but have you ever thought about what will happen to Qian Tong and his wife, who were drugged by you indiscriminately?"
