The first step to a rich country is to get rich first and then get richer

The county magistrate and the interrogating bailiffs came out quickly, but the two people who were brought in just now did not come out. They might be dead, Lan Ning felt scared.

So the county magistrate and the bailiffs saw that the little girl was particularly obedient that night.

"Take people to Laibin Building and Dongxing Building to arrest people."

"Yes."

As soon as he came out of the dungeon, the county magistrate gave an order, then went to the backyard to take a shower and change clothes without caring about Lan Ning and Xiao Wu. Perhaps he felt that the smell of the dungeon was unpleasant on his body.

Seeing how calm the county magistrate was just now, Lan Ning thought he didn't feel anything at all. It turned out that his endurance was extraordinary.

No one was watching over the two of them. They sat on a stool in the large backyard, looking up at the sky. It was very dark today, but there was no moon or stars, probably because it was so cold recently.

"Brother Xiaowu, should we tell Shopkeeper Ye's family about his disappearance? His family has not been notified yet."

Xiao Wu shook his head.

"I don't know either. Why don't we wait a little longer? We have found some clues. Maybe we can find the shopkeeper soon."

Xiao Wu didn't know what to do at this moment. After all, he was only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy. It was already amazing that he could find a job as a waiter. He was only slightly better than Lan Ning when encountering these things.

They didn't plan to tell Shopkeeper Ye's family, but Shopkeeper Ye's family already knew about his disappearance.

It was already very late, and Manager Ye had not returned yet. If he had not returned at other times, he would have sent someone to inform them, but tonight no one came back to tell them that he was not returning.

So Madam Ye sent her servants to inquire, and it turned out that after asking the people in the restaurant, they found out that Manager Ye had disappeared tonight. The matter has been reported to the authorities, and Xiaowu and Lan Ning were taken to the government to identify the criminal.

So before the runners sent by the county magistrate returned, Xiaowu and Lan Ning welcomed Manager Ye's family.

People were stopped outside the gate and not allowed in.

Not everyone can enter the county government office if they want to. If they can't get in, they cry outside to express their worries and fears about Manager Ye's disappearance.

The crying of so many people was so loud that Xiaowu and Lan Ning, who were waiting in the backyard, could hear it.

Xiao Wu was very familiar with this voice. After listening for a while, he recognized that it was the voice of Mrs. Ye and Old Madam Ye.

"It seems that Madam and the others already know about this."

"how do you know?"

Lan Ning was a little puzzled. Xiao Wu had always been with her, so how could he know?

Xiaowu pointed outside.

"The crying and noisy noise outside is from Madam and her friends."

Lan Ning looked outside, then turned back weakly. There was nothing she could do.

This body is very small and sleeps a lot. It is already very late and Shopkeeper Ye has not come back yet, but she is already very sleepy.

I tried to hold on for a while, but it was no use. I felt more and more sleepy, and I didn't know when the bailiffs would come back.

She simply dragged the stool to a stone step, sat on it, put her head on it and fell asleep.

Xiaowu saw Sister Lan busy with something. She dragged a stool to a nearby place and sat down with her head on it. He walked over and squatted beside her.

"Sister Lan, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

No one answered him.

"Sister Lan, what's wrong with you?"

Xiaowu asked again, but still no one answered him.

He was a little anxious. What happened? Why did he faint while lying on the stool?

Just as he was about to shake her, he heard a sound coming from somewhere. He put his ear close to Lan Ning and listened carefully, and found that it was her snoring.

He fell asleep so quickly. How sleepy must he be to fall asleep in seconds?

Oh, forget it, let her sleep.

Just when he gave up trying to wake Lan Ning up, a gust of wind blew and Xiao Wu shivered. It was so cold. Would Lan Ning catch a cold if she just slept here like this? Otherwise, he should wake her up. But he was so sleepy. Would it be bad for his health to wake her up?

While he was struggling with the issue, the county magistrate came back and saw the little fellow sleeping soundly on the stool.

"Is she asleep?"

Xiaowu nodded.

"Yeah, maybe I was too sleepy, I fell asleep as soon as I lay on it."

"We don't know how long it will take them to come back. You carry her with you and I'll take you to a room so she can rest."

Xiao Wu happily stood up immediately and thanked the county magistrate. Then he picked up Lan Ning and followed the county magistrate.

Originally, I thought the county magistrate was very capable and was very clear about the vacancy situation of his house. In the end, he still went to find a servant to arrange a house for Lan Ning to rest.

The servant received the order and took them to an empty room with sheets and quilt covers already put on.

I put Lan Ning, who was sleeping soundly, on the bed. She turned over, found the most comfortable position, and began to snore again. There was no sign of being awake during the whole process.

After arranging Lan Ning, the servant took Xiao Wu to another room.

Xiaowu was very happy. He didn't expect that he also had a room to rest.

He was also very sleepy at the moment, but he was much older than Lan Ning, so he could endure the sleepiness.

But when he lay down on the comfortable bed, he could no longer resist the sleepiness and fell into a deep sleep.

They didn't know when the two restaurant owners came back after being arrested by the bailiffs. They only knew that when they were woken up, Manager Ye had already been found.

It was now bright outside, and there was no sound of crying or shouting outside.

The result of the case was learned from the yamen runners. It turned out that Manager Ye was really arrested by the two bosses in collusion.

Just because he stole their business, they wanted to arrest and silence him, but they didn't expect them to act so quickly. They found the man in one night.

But when Shopkeeper Ye was found, he was not at ease. His body was covered with scars from torture and he even had difficulty walking. He looked so miserable.

The crying and shouting outside the yamen stopped and moved to the Ye family’s home.

Shopkeeper Ye was carried back home. Everyone in the family was in tears. Even his naughty 5-year-old son was too sensible to cry in front of his father when he saw his father like this. He just hid outside his father's room, covering his mouth and crying silently.

This time, Shopkeeper Ye had no choice but to be stingy, so he invited the best doctors in the county to the Ye Mansion.

The bloody water used to clean his wounds was carried out of the house in basins.

Shopkeeper Ye couldn't go to the restaurant and could only recuperate in his house. Fortunately, there were people in the restaurant who were already skilled in the work and there wouldn't be any problems. The most important thing was that with Lan Ning, the biggest contributor to the restaurant's transformation, there was nothing for Shopkeeper Ye to worry about.

There was a benefit to being caught this time. The benefit was that the other two restaurants in the county went bankrupt.
