"... Now everyone has seen that the owner of Yuelai Restaurant is colluding with this evil and evil woman to persecute us powerless common people..." The man continued to incite the onlookers.

Seeing that everyone around him gradually believed his words and started talking about Shopkeeper Zhou and Jiang Wei, Jiang Xiaoxiao frowned unconsciously.

It seems that the person behind all this is a powerful person.

Not only did they hire someone to slander her family's ice cream business, but they also made Dr. Zou from Tzu Chi Hall "out of town" at this critical moment, leaving the old man's stomachache unsubstantiated.

Moreover, the person behind the scenes knew that Yuelai Restaurant was owned by Jiang Yu, yet he dared to find someone to slander and cause trouble. I guess he was not afraid of Jiang Yu...

While Jiang Xiaoxiao was thinking, she suddenly caught a glimpse of her mother-in-law suddenly stepping forward and slowly sliding out a black snake from the sleeve hidden behind her...

She was startled, and in an instant she realized something, and her eyes turned sympathetic to the man beside her.

The man was still righteously accusing Shopkeeper Zhou and Jiang Wei of collaborating to defraud everyone of their money, when he suddenly felt a chill coming from his bare feet.

He subconsciously looked down and saw that a black snake had wrapped itself around his thigh at some point and was spitting out scarlet snake bites at him. He immediately screamed in fright and swung his feet wildly.

"Snake! Help! Help--"

The people next to him were also startled and backed away.

The man swung his leg hard, and the black snake flew out, landing right on the face of the old man on the ground.

The cold and smooth touch stimulated the nerves. The old man who was still on the ground whining and crying in pain was so frightened that he jumped three feet high: "Snake!!!"

"Hey, old uncle, don't you have a stomachache? Why do you still have the strength to jump so high?" Jiang Xiaoxiao stood up in time and said.

Her soft, slightly childish voice rang clearly in everyone's ears.

Suddenly, everyone looked at the old man who was grabbing the black snake and about to shake it off.

The old man was stunned and seemed to realize something. The next second he fell to the ground holding his stomach and wailed: "Ouch, my stomach hurts so much..."

But his poor acting skills have obviously been exposed, and everyone suddenly said angrily: "Okay! It turns out you deceived everyone!"

"It's so abominable! We had good intentions to help you seek justice, but we didn't expect you to lie to us!"

"I'm just telling you, why is there something wrong with Mrs. Jiang's ice cream? My grandson is fine eating it every day. Why does someone suddenly have a stomachache?"

A regular customer who had been buying ice cream stood up and said, "I think they are here to cause trouble for Mrs. Jiang on purpose!"

……

Suddenly, things took a turn for the worse, and everyone pointed their fingers at the man.

"No, no, my dad really has a stomachache. He was just scared by the snake..." The man panicked and opened his mouth to defend, but no one believed a word of his words anymore.

"Haha, I didn't know that an old man rolling on the ground with a stomachache could still have the strength to jump so high!"

"Your father's body looks stronger than mine, but he doesn't look seriously ill! It's obvious that you deliberately slandered Mrs. Jiang's business!"

Seeing that their lies were exposed, Jiang Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to look at the black snake that was thrown aside.

A long and slender one, with a black snake body coiled around it, was quietly spitting out snake bites on the side. For the first time, Jiang Xiaoxiao felt that a snake could be so cute.

But when did her mother raise such a little black snake?

She looked at Jiang Wei with questioning eyes.

But she saw that her mother just curled her lips slightly, waved to the snake gently, and called the black snake back.

The man who was being criticized by everyone turned around and saw this scene, and immediately rushed towards Jiang Wei angrily: "You stinky bitch, how dare you plot against me!"

Shopkeeper Zhou on the side was shocked. This big and thick man could hardly hit Mrs. Jiang!

He quickly stepped forward to block it, but Jiang Wei just raised his foot slightly and kicked away the man who was rushing towards him.

"what--"

With a scream, the man's body fell heavily to the ground, raising dust.

But Jiang Xiaoxiao was still frightened. She quickly stepped forward to Jiang Wei, grabbed her hand and looked at her. Only when she was sure that her mother was not injured did she turn to look at the man on the ground, and her soft voice changed. He got angry and said, "Even if you slandered my mother for no reason, you still dare to attack my mother. Aren't you afraid of getting slapped by the officials!"

"The one who deserves to be punished is the poisonous woman with a black heart!" The man covered his heart that was hurt by being kicked, and still yelled unwilling to be outdone, "My father only had a stomachache after eating your ice cream, even if he went to the county Yamen, the official is also on my side!"

"Yeah!"

At this moment, a clear sound came from the front, accompanied by bursts of horse hooves.

Everyone turned their heads and looked away.

Jiang Xiaoxiao also raised his little head to look, and at a glance he saw the man wearing the official uniform of the county government, the sword hanging on his waist, and a group of people following behind him, all wearing the uniform of the county government.

The man jumped off his horse and landed neatly in front of everyone.

"I am Shen Que, the county lieutenant of Yong'an County!" The man showed his token, and his cold eyes slowly swept across the crowd, and finally fell on the man and the old man, "The slander and deception you just committed has been reported to the Yamen, so you know you are guilty. !”

The man looked at the gilded token, then at Shen Que's straight official uniform and the sword at his waist. His face immediately turned pale, and he knelt on the ground with a thud in fright.

The old man was so frightened that he was sweating profusely. His body was shaking like a sieve of chaff, and he knelt on the ground and said, "Sir, please spare my life..."

They have never come into contact with people from the county government in their lives, but now the dignified county captain is standing in front of them. The man who was not too scared even if his lies were exposed just now is now trembling with fear and dare not say anything about his stomachache. When it was over, he said tremblingly: "S-Sir, please forgive me, we plead guilty..."

Shen Que put away the token, raised his voice and ordered to the government officials behind him: "Come here, take them into the county government office and put them in jail!"

When he heard that he was being imprisoned, the old man next to him was so frightened that he almost fainted.

The man was so frightened that he couldn't stop kowtowing and said: "Sir, please forgive me! This, this is not our doing, it is others who forced us to do this..."

Shen Que's narrow eyebrows narrowed: "Who forced you to do this?"

"Yes, it's Mrs. Zheng of the Sun family..." the man said tremblingly, "I, my daughter works as a maid in her house. If we don't do this, she will kill my daughter... I know, sir. Wrong, please spare us..."

Jiang Xiaoxiao, who was listening on the side, was surprised. He didn't expect that it was the person sent by Zheng Yaocai's sister!
