The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

But at this moment, Sui Dan suddenly glared at Qiao Rong fiercely and warned him in a threatening tone: "Qiao Rong, if you dare to talk nonsense here, believe it or not, I will come back and give you a good beating!"

Qiao Rong was not stupid. He knew everything in his heart. How could he dare to say that his young master stole grain? He shook his head repeatedly and said seriously, "Master, I don't know much about this matter. I was not involved in borrowing grain."

Seeing this, Cheng Feng realized that something was wrong. He stared at Sui Dan with sharp eyes and asked, "Where did this grain come from? Didn't you say yesterday that this grain was borrowed from the wealthy Chen family in the west of the city? Which Chen family is it? Explain it clearly so that we can go to their house and confront them face to face!"

At this moment, a hearty laugh suddenly came from Master Zhai. He laughed loudly, "Hahaha, you guys don't know, there is no Chen family in the west of our city!"

When Cheng Feng heard this, he immediately turned to look at Sui Dan and asked suspiciously, "What on earth is going on?"

Sui Dan stiffened his neck and said with a specious argument: "So what if there is no Old Chen family? Anyway, this grain does not belong to your Old Zhai family!"

Cheng Feng looked at Sui Dan's stubborn expression, then looked at Cheng Youning and Qiao Rong beside him, and instantly understood everything. However, before he could open his mouth to attack, Master Zhai had already spoken first: "Humph! For what happened today, none of you will be able to escape the blame! Everyone, open your eyes and watch carefully, even the big pot they used to cook porridge belongs to our Zhai family!"

Sui Dan was still stubborn and kept shouting, "Humph! Empty words are not enough. If you want us to confess, then show us solid evidence!"

Master Zhai snorted coldly and responded confidently: "Okay, then you better open your eyes and watch! There is a word "Zhai" under the edge of this pot. This is the unique mark of our Zhai family!"

When everyone heard this, they all came forward to take a look. As expected, there was a powerful character "翟" engraved just below the edge of the pot.

At this time, Master Zhai had a smug look on his face. He glanced at the dusty and miserable people in front of him and said sarcastically, "I have long expected that you guys are cunning and treacherous, but you can't escape my grasp in the end. So what? Now that the facts are in front of you, what else do you have to say?"

Cheng Feng was instantly furious at Sui Dan and Cheng Youning when he saw this, but this was not the time to punish them. He gritted his teeth, held back his anger, and pretended to be calm. Then he said respectfully to Master Zhai, "Master Zhai, I am sorry for what happened today. I hope you can forgive me! I really didn't know anything about it at the moment. I guess my people did it behind my back, but I won't shirk my responsibility. Please name a price. As long as this matter can be settled, I am willing to compensate you ten times the price!"

However, Master Zhai remained unmoved. He smiled coldly and replied in a cold tone: "It's too late. You stole my food. I came to your door, but you still refused to admit it. If I hadn't produced any solid evidence, you thieves would have bitten me back and accused me of framing you. You also called me a local tyrant. How could I let you go so easily? I will cut off your hands and feet today and let you taste the pain! A long lesson!"

This is Sui Dan jumping up and down and saying: "Old Zhai, don't refuse my honor. Just take it if I compensate you with silver. Otherwise, you will die in a while and not know why."

Master Zhai pointed at the men in front of him and said, "Well, you are still threatening me at this time. There are witnesses and evidences. You think you can just pay some money and let it go. Am I so easy to get rid of?" Master Zhai looked at the leader of the yamen runners and said, "Sir, it's time to arrest them all."

The bailiffs rushed towards them again, and Cheng Feng shouted, "Wait a moment."

Grandma Liu also called out, "Assistant."

The yamen runners stopped their actions again. The leading yamen runner was the best at observing people's words and expressions. Since he could alarm Grandma Liu San, he thought that these people from Fengying were not simple.

Grandma Liu continued to smooth things over, saying, "It's not a big deal. Is it necessary to alert the government? It's just a few loads of grain and a big pot! Old Zhai, don't be stubborn. Give me, Grandma Liu, a favor today and let Master Cheng continue to run the porridge shop. All your losses will be charged to me, Grandma Liu."

Upon hearing this, Master Zhai flew into a rage again. His face flushed red, veins popped out on his forehead, and he roared, "Old Lady Liu, you are overreaching! You are actually meddling in my affairs! You just need to take care of your Liu Family. It is not your turn to meddle in the affairs of our Zhai Family!"

When Grandma Liu heard this, she got angry and said angrily, "Old Zhai, I am telling you this for your own good! If you don't know what's good for you and refuse to accept my toast, then I will turn around and leave immediately. I will see how you clean up this mess!"

Master Zhai gritted his teeth in anger and shouted, "Humph, you old woman, I'm afraid your brain is not working well anymore because you are too old! My family was robbed, so I can deal with it. But I will chop off the fingers of these robbers later."

Grandma Liu pointed at Master Zhai's head and said angrily: "I think you have a brain problem. Do you know who this Master Cheng Feng is?"

Master Zhai turned his head away with disdain and snorted, "Who do I care who he is? Even if the emperor breaks the law, he is guilty of the same crime as the common people. What has Cheng Feng done? Even if the king of heaven comes today, I am not afraid!"

At this moment, someone in the yamen runners suddenly whispered in a low voice: "Cheng Feng? Cheng Feng from Fengying? Could it be that Cheng Feng, the nephew of the emperor who begged for mercy? I heard that this person was entrusted with an important task by the emperor and was sent out to find a market for the goods begged for. Could it be that this person has been gone for two years and is back?"

Hearing these words, Cheng Feng felt his face burning hot, and he wished he could find a hole to crawl into immediately. He secretly complained in his heart that he was embarrassing his uncle, the emperor, by being like this!

On the other side, Master Zhai's heart suddenly tightened after hearing this, and he panicked instantly. He quickly cast his eyes to Liu Sanpo beside him, only to see Liu Sanpo nodded slightly without leaving any trace. In this brief moment, the two of them had completed a silent communication through their eyes.
