Chapter 106 It depends on whether your relationship is strong enough

Zhou Lingling's words completely exposed the Xie family's shamelessness.

The manager's face changed. The reason why their Xie family dominated Yunlai Town was indeed because the county magistrate's thirteenth concubine was the master's illegitimate daughter.

Thanks to this, the second master of their family got a job in the county government, and he often helped to deal with the rivals of the Xie family.

Similarly, this time Zhou Laoer had clearly asked his second cousin to report to the authorities long ago, but the officials did not arrive because that person blocked them.

This is their usual tactic. Whenever there is a conflict with the Xie family, if the other party reports to the police, they will definitely delay it as much as possible until the Xie family has resolved the matter and the government officials finally arrive.

As for how the Xie family solved the problem, everyone in Yunlai Town knew it.

The steward's face darkened completely. He looked at Zhou Lingling with a cold gaze: "The little girl may be young, but she's quite brave. The weather is getting cold now, so be careful not to get caught in a strong wind or you might get your tongue stuck while talking!"

"It's none of outsiders' business to comment on what my Xie family does! Even if I say it today, the servants in my house died from eating something from your weekly journal!"

He snorted and laughed, then said to Zhou Lao Er, "My master has always been kind to others. He originally wanted to settle the matter privately with Shopkeeper Zhou, but he didn't expect Shopkeeper Zhou to refuse his toast and let a little girl talk nonsense here!"

"If that's the case, let the government make the final decision! I want to see if Manager Zhou will still be so stubborn once he enters the government office!"

The steward waved his hand.

After a while

A burst of scolding came from outside the crowd.

Four yamen runners dressed in yamen runner uniforms and with big swords slung over their waists pushed through the crowd and walked in.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

"It's said someone died after eating at a restaurant. Where is the owner of Zhouji Tavern? Come with me back to the government office immediately to stand trial!"

The crowd was immediately divided in the middle, and everyone fell silent as they looked at the four yamen runners.

What Zhou Lingling had just said came true at this moment.

Yunlai Town is only a quarter of an hour away from Yunshui County. They were clearly the ones who reported to the police, but these people came and wanted to take away the owner of their weekly journal without asking any questions.

People really do smile when they are angry.

So Zhou Lingling smiled.

Four yamen runners came over and exchanged glances with the steward, just in time to hear Zhou Lingling's laughter.

A yamen runner with a long centipede scar on his face gripped the knife handle at his waist and shouted impatiently:

"Go away! What's a little girl doing here making trouble? Who owns your restaurant?"

He swept his vicious gaze over Zhou Laoer, Sang Lin and the others, but was shocked by the aura of Sang Lin and the others.

The centipede scarred yamen runner frowned. Wasn’t it just an ordinary farmer’s family who made a little money and came to the town to do business?

How come there are still such stubborn people?

Zhou Laoer was about to stand up, but Zhou Lingling held him back.

"Dad, wait a minute."

The centipede-scarred yamen runner's gaze was fixed precisely on Zhou Laoer.

"You are the owner of Zhouji, right?"

"The food in your shop killed someone, and you even beat the victim! How audacious! Come back to the yamen with us to face trial!"

Zhou Lingling looked calm and ignored him. The yamen runner felt insulted and called his companions to go forward and chain Zhou Laoer directly.

Zhou Lingling pulled her father back two steps. Sang Lin stood over and grabbed the chains in the hands of the two men.

"What? Are you going to rebel?!"

Centipede Scar said sternly. He pulled hard, but the chain on his hand didn't move at all.

Zhou Lingling looked at the figures approaching from a distance and calmed herself down a little.

Then he looked at the yamen runner with the centipede scar and said:

"You are wrong, I am the owner of Zhou Ji."

"Nonsense! How is this possible?" The yamen runner retorted subconsciously.

How could the owner of Zhouji Tavern be a young girl?

Even the manager was a little surprised. Although the girl was very eloquent just now, no one could believe that the owner of a tavern that was very popular in Yunlai Town was such a small girl.

As expected, a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger, and dares to ignore the Xie family...

No matter whether she is the boss or not, just take her away!

The manager thought so, and the centipede-scarred yamen runner thought the same.

"Since you said you are the boss, then take them all away! No one wants to escape!"

But Zhou Lingling shook her head and said, "You're wrong again."

"You're not the one taking us away. We're the ones taking this woman who slandered our journal, as well as the Xie family steward and servants who came to cause trouble, to the county government office to file a complaint."

Under the dazed gazes of the four yamen runners and the onlookers, Zhou Laoer used the cloth strips borrowed from the cloth shop to tie all the Xie family servants on the ground into a row. He could drag everyone away by pulling one end.

The manager was restrained by Sang Lin, and the woman and two children were surrounded by three burly men.

Zhou Lingling told her: "Get up, take your husband with you, and let's go to the government office together!"

"You say someone died from eating our food. I say there's nothing wrong with it. Why don't you all come with us to the government office to testify? That way, if our weekly journal proves its innocence, they'll accuse us of collusion between officials and businessmen."

As soon as she said this, the people around her started laughing.

Someone in the crowd boldly shouted, "Little Boss, if you want to collude with officials and businessmen, it depends on how strong your connections are!"

"Yes, young master, we must really see Zhou Ji prove his innocence, otherwise this testimony will be in vain!"

At this point, many smart people have seen it.

Zhou Ji was targeted by the Xie family.

The four yamen runners wanted to stop them, but Tie Yuan and others were not pushovers either.

A dozen aggressive men coming to that station were enough to make the yamen runners who usually shouted and yelled feel weak in the knees.

So, led by Zhou Lingling's family, followed by the trembling victim and two children, and the victim who was being carried, they were surrounded by a dozen strong men and were heading to the Yunshui County Government Office.

Four yamen runners followed behind obediently, along with a long list of people who wanted to serve as witnesses.

The centipede-scarred yamen runner thought that something really was going to happen.

He wanted to leave the team and take a shortcut back to the government office to report the news, but if he slowed down even a little, someone in front of him would stop and give him a death stare...

Yunshui County.

County government.

A huge crowd of people came in from outside the city gate, and the gatekeepers thought something had happened.

After asking for clarification, they followed the direction Zhou Lingling pointed and saw the yamen runners from the four yamen. The gatekeepers then let them in.

The four yamen runners thought that these people would be more restrained after entering the county government office, but in the end, these people pushed them directly into the gate of the county government office.

This is simply unreasonable!

The Yunshui County Magistrate sat high in the hall and watched his four yamen runners being pushed in. He suddenly felt like someone had slapped him in the face.

Without waiting for Zhou Lingling and others to stand still, he angrily slammed the gavel.

"Be bold!"

"Who are you in this hall? How dare you assault a yamen runner? This is insubordination and a complete disregard for the law!"

At the same time, the steward escaped from Sang Lin's clutches and immediately knelt down with tears and snot.

"Master Qingtian, help me!"
