A strong farm girl is busy getting rich

Yang Zhong was stunned and asked, "Why is this?"

Obviously, Yang Zhong did not notice the waiter's attitude, or maybe he did notice it, but he was not a very particular person and did not care about such a small matter!

Shen Qingqian thought about it and decided to forget it. It was just a meal. What did it matter if it tasted good or not? If Zhou Qi was here, she would be accused of being too much trouble!

"It's okay, Brother Yang, I was just talking nonsense, go ahead and order the food!"

In less than half an hour, all the food was on the table.

Shen Qingqian thought, the speed is quite fast, the food for so many people was ready so quickly!

What surprised her even more was that the food tasted pretty good. It seemed like she had been overthinking it!

When paying the bill, Shen Qingqian couldn't help but ask the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, your restaurant is so big and the food is pretty good, why is there no customers?"

The shopkeeper looked at the silver in his hand. They hadn't received so much money for a long time!

He sighed and said, "You guys should just be passing by here, right? Otherwise, how could you not know about my Moon Watching Tower?

Oh, forget it, it’s hard to explain, so let’s not talk about it! ”

The shopkeeper finally couldn't explain the reason.

After all, it was someone else's business, and since the shopkeeper didn't want to talk about it, Shen Qingqian didn't ask any more questions.

Just when they were about to leave after eating and drinking, a group of soldiers suddenly ran over on the street outside the restaurant.

The officers and soldiers rushed forward recklessly, causing the few passers-by to give way.

This street was full of shops. Several soldiers entered the shops opposite, and several others came towards the restaurant.

The shopkeeper had just walked out from behind the counter when the soldiers broke in.

They looked around and finally turned to the shopkeeper and asked, "Who are the people eating in the restaurant today?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Sir, we only received this group of guests today. They are just a caravan passing through here to escort goods. There is nothing wrong with that."

The officer glanced at Shen Qingqian and the others again and said, "He really doesn't look like the person we are looking for. However, the judge has ordered that you are only allowed to enter the city today, and you are not allowed to leave until the criminal is found!"

Shen Qingqian and Yang Zhong looked at each other. What was going on? If they didn't let it out, wouldn't they be trapped here?

Yang Zhong said: "Sir, if we are not allowed to leave the city, what about our goods? We need them urgently!"

The officer said disdainfully: "This is the order of the magistrate. No one is allowed to leave the city until the criminals are caught!"

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Shen Qingqian and the others to say anything else, he went out to the next house.

Shen Qingqian looked at the shopkeeper again and asked, "Shopkeeper, do you know who these soldiers are looking for?"

The shopkeeper sighed again and said, "I know, these people started to mobilize their forces last night and have not stopped until now!

I heard that a group of people had just entered the city last night and bumped into the ninth concubine, who was recently married to the magistrate. The two sides had a dispute, and somehow, it was said that the ninth concubine had a miscarriage because of it.

The magistrate was furious and sent people to settle accounts with these people. However, the other party was quite powerful and beat the people sent by the magistrate badly!

The magistrate ordered all the officers and soldiers in the city to go out and arrest those people.

Those people probably learned of Ninth Aunt's identity only later and went into hiding.

It seems that those people are also capable, so much so that the officers and soldiers have not been able to find them until now!"

Shen Qingqian was already unhappy about being trapped in Jinyang City. When she heard this, she couldn't help but roll her eyes and said, "Ninth Aunt, that's the ninth wife! This governor is really a pig!"

When Shen Qingqian said this, the shopkeeper and Yang Zhong turned to look at her. They both thought that what she said was a bit too bold.

The shopkeeper thought that the Tongpan was the king of Jinyang City and everyone had to stay away from him, but Shen Qingqian dared to speak so boldly!

In Yang Zhong's heart, the emperor was the god. If the magistrate married nine wives, he would be a pig. If the emperor married so many, wouldn't he be even more...

Yang Zhong's mouth twitched, and he looked speechless. Fortunately, he only married one wife.

Seeing that both of them were looking at her with strange eyes, Shen Qingqian suddenly realized something and asked with wide eyes: "Brother Yang, shopkeeper, you two don't have eight or nine wives at home, do you?"

Shen Qingqian's words were not meant to shock people, which made Yang Zhong and the shopkeeper even more speechless.

However, this also made them become more familiar with the shopkeeper.

Shen Qingqian decided to wait for Yingzi and the others in the restaurant before discussing how to leave the city, so she took advantage of the free time to chat with the shopkeeper.

Only then did he learn from the shopkeeper that the reason why Wangyue Tower's business was so poor was actually related to this magistrate.

It turned out that the fifth concubine of this judge also opened a restaurant, and it was located diagonally opposite the Wangyue Tower, called Hongyun Restaurant.

When Hongyun Restaurant first opened, many people would often patronize it because of the face of the Tongpan, and the business was quite good.

But later, the prices of food at Hongyun Restaurant became more and more expensive, and business gradually dwindled. In the end, not even one table of customers came in a day.

The prices at Wangyue Tower have always been very affordable, and the food tastes good, so naturally more and more people come here.

Hongyun Restaurant believed that the reason their business was getting worse and worse was because Wangyue Tower had taken away their business.

Therefore, they resorted to a lot of despicable tricks in secret, causing the guests who patronized Wangyue Tower to either get poisoned or find flies in their food.

As a result of what they did, the reputation of Wangyue Tower was ruined and its business naturally disappeared.

As Hongyun Restaurant has the support of the magistrate, Wangyue Tower dares not speak out and can only struggle on.

Hearing what the shopkeeper said, Shen Qingqian suddenly remembered that Xu had mentioned that the niece of the village chief of Xiahe Village was married to a high-ranking official in Jinyang City as a concubine. She wondered if she was married to this magistrate?

Just as he was thinking about it, Yingzi and the brother under Yang Zhong came with Xu's entire family.

Shen Qingqian guessed that they were so busy moving and had traveled such a long time that they must not have had time to eat, so she said, "Yingzi, you guys eat first, and then we'll find an inn to stay in."

Shen Qingqian planned to settle down first, and then go meet the judge. What do you mean you can't leave the city unless you catch the criminal? Bullshit! She must leave Jinyang City and continue on her journey tomorrow morning at the latest!

You have to know that she is now the Princess of Qingyi County and a person with an official position, a local magistrate. Why can't she be allowed to leave the city?

It would be great if the judge could agree to it smoothly. Otherwise, she would force her way out!
