Travel back to ancient times and open a Sichuan restaurant

The diners' voices were not loud, but since there were not many people in the inn today, the voices of these two people seemed a little more obvious.

Chen Dongzhi had slowed down his pace as he went up the stairs, listening to the two people talking. But no matter how slow he went, the stairs were only a few steps away, and soon he entered the room and could no longer hear the two people talking.

By the time he put his things down, the two men had changed the subject and were no longer talking about what had just happened with Zhao Cunliang.

He knew that Boss Zhao's real name was Zhao Cunliang, but did the trouble caused by a businessman from Wuzhou already attract discussion among people in neighboring Jinzhou?

Not sure if the Zhao Cunliang the diner was talking about was the boss Zhao, Chen Dongzhi planned to ask the waiter.

When the waiter heard the name, he quickly gave an answer: "He is indeed a wealthy businessman from Wuzhou, but he has committed a crime and has been arrested."

"What crime did you commit?" Chen Dongzhi asked.

These days, guests coming and going in the inn have been talking about this matter, mainly because Wuzhou is next door. The two places are close to each other, so any news can be found out very clearly. Some people from Jinzhou went to Wuzhou and came back to tell this story.

"...Sir, I heard this from others. Please don't blame me if I'm wrong." The waiter said first, and after getting a piece of silver, he happily told everything he knew.

"Zhao Cunliang is from Dingxiang County, Wuzhou. He has been doing business in various places for many years. I don't know what he does. He was arrested this time because he killed someone.

He had another wealthy businessman, Mr. Meng, killed in Dingxiang County. Not only that, he also seized the property, wife, daughter, and all the shops and lands under the name of the murdered businessman.

The waiter looked mysterious and said, "The reason why he is so domineering in the local area is because he is in collusion with the local county magistrate!"

Chen Dongzhi found it a little strange. "Since he was in collusion with the county magistrate and someone was protecting him, why were these things discovered?"

The waiter showed a regretful expression, "It was Master Meng's daughter who came out and exposed all these things. She didn't go to the county magistrate because she knew that they were colluding, so she took advantage of the young master and young lady of the Wuzhou prefect's family being out for fun and ran to them to tell them about this. I don't know what she said specifically, anyway, this Miss Meng was taken away by the prefect's people."

What the waiter said was all hearsay, and many details were not made clear.

When Chen Dongzhi went to bed at night, he was still thinking, would this mean that no one would bother his wife anymore? Was this villain hiding in the dark tripped up?

After thinking about it all night without figuring it out, he went straight to find Master Duan.

"What? You're going to Wuzhou?" Escort Master Duan frowned. "Our goods will be ready in three days at most. Can you make it back in time? What are you going to Wuzhou for?"

Chen Dongzhi just said that he could go back, and left with his horse.

It took me a day to finally reach Wuzhou and I randomly found an inn.

After ordering a few dishes at random, we sat down. There were several tables of guests talking next to us, but they were all talking about the same topic.

"Miss Meng is really amazing. She managed to escape like this?"

The other person rolled his eyes at him and said, "If you're not strong enough, you'll have to die! Didn't you hear that she's the only one left in the Meng family who died?"

"She is indeed a person of great tenacity. Even though she has lost all her brothers and sisters, she still insisted on going to Lord Feng's residence to appeal for justice."

"Who says it's not true? A good young lady was persecuted by the beast Zhao Cunliang for so many years. I heard that her two younger sisters born to her father's aunt were beaten to death in order to protect her?"

Chen Dongzhi calmly changed his seat to the other side so that he could hear the two people's conversation more clearly.

After the meal, he had heard the whole story.

When the eldest son of the Feng family was out for a walk with his two younger sisters, a young woman in tattered clothes and disheveled hair bumped into their sedan chair.

The eldest daughter of the Feng family got out of the sedan chair to check her injuries. As a result, an acquaintance behind her called her Feng Bao. The young woman with disheveled hair wanted to leave, but suddenly grabbed Feng Bao's hand and refused to let go.

While the group was arguing, the young woman suddenly knelt down and said that she had been wronged and asked them to help her find out.

Feng Ning guarded his two sisters behind him with a vigilant look, and said to the young woman who knelt on the ground, "If you have a grievance, you should go to the government. It's no use kneeling and bowing to us."

The crowd watching around also said, "Yes, if you have any problem, why don't you go to your local county magistrate? What's the point of running so far to find the young master or young lady of the prefectural government? They won't take care of your problem!"

"Is this a lunatic? Can she understand what we are saying?"

The young woman suddenly sneered, "Ha! If it would be helpful to find the county magistrate, why would I come all the way here? I know you don't want to help me because one of your concubines is related to the people who persecuted me, but I just want to see if there is still law in this world? Should the lives of more than a dozen people in my Meng family be ignored because of collusion between officials and businessmen?"

As soon as these words came out, the people around started to talk, "Meng family? Which Meng family?"

"It seems that there is a Meng family in Wuzhou that is engaged in the medicinal materials business? Their family is very famous. Didn't they decline after Mr. Meng got into trouble a few years ago? There is also a Meng family that runs a cloth shop. Are they from the same family?"

The two young ladies of the Feng family might not know anything, but when Feng Ning heard that it was related to their concubine, her heart began to beat.

Thinking of the dirty deeds done by a distant cousin of Aunt Mei that he had sent people to investigate some time ago, he wondered if this was the victim coming to visit him.

After giving a wink to the two servants who followed him, the two of them supported the young woman with both hands, dispersed the people who were watching around, and then took their people back.

It is not known what happened after they were brought back, but on the next day, Prefect Feng sent people to Dingxiang County. He sent out two people but brought back dozens of people.

...

After finding out what he wanted to know, Chen Dongzhi paid for the meal and hurried back to Jinzhou.

Escort Master Duan complained, "I don't know why you are in such a hurry to go and come back again?"

Chen Dongzhi smiled and shook his head, and the depression in his heart slowly dissipated.

When his daughter-in-law's workshop was set on fire, when he learned that the arsonist was Boss Zhao, he wanted to kill him immediately.

But after calming down and thinking about it, this is not a battlefield, and killing someone will result in imprisonment and death.

He has been holding this anger in his arms, and one day he will find an opportunity to take revenge on Zhao Cunliang.

But before that day came, Zhao Cunliang's retribution came.

He won't have a good ending, so I'll just wait and see how he gets his comeuppance!

Chen Dongzhi wanted to go back right away and tell his wife this great news so that she could be happy too.
