What a sin! The most handsome lazy man in the village married a crazy woman.

After eating and drinking, Xiao Tiechui and his group told everyone what happened at the county government.

"The gate of the county government office is closed, and we don't know what's going on inside, but it is said that Lord Tao has already left for the city to report the matter of County Magistrate Zhu and Feng Tianbao. It won't be long before the charges against them are determined." Ye Peng sighed, "We can't do anything now, we can only wait. Oh, by the way, the Jixian Restaurant has been sealed, and the government wants to sell it off."

Ye Tang's heart moved when he heard this.

Is Jixian Restaurant going to be sold?

Although this restaurant's business is not as good as Tingxuan Restaurant, it has an excellent location and is extremely spacious, making it the most suitable choice for conversion into a large fresh food store.

But she doesn't have enough money now.

A restaurant that big would cost at least tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Seeing that it was getting late, Xiao Jingxuan persuaded Ye Peng and Ye Ping'an to stay at the old house for a night. The guest room in the house had been kept for them.

Xiao Wenye sent Xiao Jingxuan and others out. Ye Pingan and Ye Peng drove the ox cart to take a detour. Xiao Jingxuan and Ye Tang took a small path and talked with Xiao Wenye for a while under a tree.

"Did anything else happen when you went to take the exam this time?" Xiao Jingxuan asked directly.

Ye Tang immediately looked at Xiao Wenye, with gossip sparkling in his eyes.

Xiao Wenye nodded: "Yes, something big happened, Sixth Grandpa, you are really a genius. Xiao Yi is really a piece of shit, he dared to drug me. Fortunately, you reminded me that I must be on guard against others. When I go out, I must not let water and food out of my sight. Once they are out, I can't eat them again."

He and Xiao Yi are from the same clan. In terms of seniority, he is Xiao Yi's uncle. The two have no hatred against each other. When they went to take the exam, they traveled together and stayed in the same inn.

The night before entering the examination room, Xiao Yi said he was too nervous to sleep and wanted to talk to him. He heard Xiao Yi's stomach growling, and thinking that his family was not doing well, it was natural for him, as an elder, to care for the younger generation, so he gave half of the cake to Xiao Yi. He went to the toilet halfway and put the other half of the cake on the table.

After coming back, Xiao Yi had already finished his cake. He said he was no longer nervous and wanted to go back to sleep.

"I heard his stomach growling, and I was afraid that he wouldn't sleep well at night and would have a bad time on the exam the next day, so I planned to give him the other half of the cake, but he refused," Xiao Wenye got angry when he said this: "I stuffed the cake into his hand and asked him to eat it before leaving, but he kept finding excuses to refuse. I suddenly felt something was wrong, and then I remembered your reminder, so I tore off a piece of the cake and stuffed it into his mouth."

"Guess what? He spat out the cake immediately. I realized very quickly that there was something wrong with this half cake. Xiao Yi must have tampered with it. I questioned Xiao Yi, but he refused to admit it. I said I didn't believe him unless he ate this half cake as well."

Ye Tang suppressed his excitement: "He ate it?"

Xiao Wenye smiled smugly, "Yes, he ate it, and then he kept running to the toilet at night. When he entered the examination room, he was exhausted, and I realized that he put croton seeds in that half of the cake. The brat had diarrhea and his face turned pale, but he refused to admit that he wanted to frame me. He played dumb and I played dumb too. After entering the examination room, he defecated every once in a while, and then fainted in the examination room, and the examiner ordered people to carry him away."

"This guy is mentally ill. I'm not his biggest competitor. Why would he poison me? If he has the guts, go poison the top suspect!"

"He knew he didn't pass the exam, but he didn't rush home. Instead, he wasted money in the capital city waiting for the list to come out. How could I not know what he was thinking? He just wanted to see if I passed the exam and didn't want to come back early and embarrass himself."

"In the end, I passed the exam, and Xiao Yi looked as if he had eaten feces."

"When we came back, I didn't plan to go with him, but we were lucky and met Lei Biaotou from Weiyuan Escort Agency. He was also going back to Chashu Town. When he learned that we were students coming to take the exam, he took us with him, but it was not free. He charged ten coins per person."

It is a long way from the city to Chashu Town, and there are many dangers on the way. When students from well-off families go to take the exam, those with guards will bring their guards with them, and those without guards will ask the escort agency to escort them. The round trip cost five taels of silver, and Chief Escort Lei only charged ten cents to send them to Chashu Town, which was simply too cheap.

Xiao Jingxuan and Ye Tang looked at each other. Lei Biaotou has returned to Chashu Town? What about Su Yanyun?

Xiao Wenye sighed softly, "Sixth Grandpa, Sixth Grandma, I didn't tell anyone about Xiao Yi's actions because I didn't want to make my father worry. With my parents' tempers, if they knew about this, they would definitely go to Xiao Yi's house and make a scene. Without solid evidence, it would do us no good if we made a big scene, and we would be furious."

"Xiao Yi didn't get any benefit from me. If he dares to provoke me again in the future, I will never let him have a good time."

Xiao Jingxuan touched his head and said, "You let him go for the sake of our kinship and don't care about this matter anymore, but he may not be grateful to you. Xiao Yi is too scheming. If he dares to harm you, it means he doesn't take you seriously at all."

The last time Ye Peng moved Ye Tang's dowry, the whole village saw Xiao Yi's true character. That incident happened not long ago. If Xiao Wenye really wanted to cause trouble for Xiao Yi, even if there was no evidence, the villagers would choose to believe Xiao Wenye and think that Xiao Yi had a corrupt character.

Xiao Wenye nodded: "I know."

After all, he was still a little soft-hearted and didn't want to make things too ugly.

"It's enough for you to know. No need to send us off. We can go back by ourselves." Xiao Jingxuan waved to Xiao Wenye.

When he got home, Ye Tang told him that he wanted to buy Jixian Restaurant.

Ye Pingan was shocked: "Sister, you are so bold. You can't even afford such a big restaurant even if you sell me."

Ye Tang sighed: "I'm just thinking about it. I can't afford it. I don't have that much money."

Her produce hasn’t been grown yet, and even if she buys the restaurant she can’t transform it into a large fresh produce store for the time being.

silver?

Xiao Jingxuan looked at Ye Tang sighing and fell into deep thought.

The next day, Ye Peng and Ye Ping'an left home before dawn and returned to Wenggang Village to prepare things for business.

Xiao Tiechui and his group are not going to the county town today.

It was a great joy for the whole family when Xiao Wenye passed the imperial examination and became a scholar. They had to go to the ancestral temple to worship their ancestors and then have a banquet, with all the family members helping out.

After a whole day of hard work, everyone was finally able to take a break.

Xiao Wenye, who passed the examination and became a scholar, will not continue studying in the town. He will go to the county town to study in August. His teacher gave him a letter of recommendation from the No. 1 College in the county town. If he can pass the examination, he can study there.

But the salary will be twice as much as when I was in town.

Xiao Tieshan patted his chest and said, "Don't worry about the tuition. Our family can earn money now."

Xiao Wenye glanced at the cabbage and tofu soup on the table. The tofu soup was taught to everyone by Sixth Grandma. She was truly a selfless person. Life at home had become better because of the skills she taught them.

Xiao Wenye was extremely grateful.

Xiao Tiechui and his two families continued to do business, and within just five days, their tofu became famous in the county.

Many people in the village noticed the situation at Master Xiao Wu's house.

Some are curious, and some are jealous.

Xiao Tiechui and his two families didn't care and focused on their own business.

That day, Ye Peng brought Ye Ping'an and Lin Chengye to Ye Tang's place for a meal and told Ye Tang a piece of news.

"Dr. Zhang Song of Zhang's Clinic is wanted by the government." Ye Peng said, "Zhang Song claims to be a descendant of an imperial physician, but he is actually a quack who harms people. The patients he treated did get better at first, but after a long time, their illnesses recurred, and minor illnesses turned into major ones. This morning, a large group of patients went to look for Zhang Song, but when they arrived, they found that Zhang's Clinic had been closed for a long time, and Zhang Song and his disciples had disappeared. The people reported to the government, but the government searched the entire city but couldn't find him."

"Not only did Zhang Song deceive us ordinary people, he also deceived Magistrate Zhu and Feng Tianbao. That day, Feng Tianbao's leg was injured by Atang, so he went to Zhang Song to treat his leg. Zhang Song used some medicine, but he didn't know what it was, which made Feng Tianbao unconscious. I said that Feng Tianbao looked so strange in the court that night! Oh, I heard that Feng Tianbao's leg was broken and had maggots..."

Feng Tianbao's misery made Ye Tang feel happy: "Dad, is there a portrait of Zhang Song in the county? What does he look like? We must remember his appearance well in case we encounter a quack like him when we are sick."

It is better to be safe than sorry. People like Zhang Song are a bit scary.

Xiao Jingxuan nodded: "My wife's idea is right. It's better to be safe than sorry. We must be on guard against Zhang Song. To be honest, during the more than one year that Wen Chao and I were traveling abroad, we heard of Zhang Song's name. This man not only committed evil in Wutong County, but also in other places, harming countless people. He has been wanted by the government for more than a year. The fact that he was able to hide in Wutong County is a serious dereliction of duty by County Magistrate Zhu."

Ye Tang asked: "What else do you know? Tell me."

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Tiechui and his team had been selling tofu for ten days.

Today is a good day with two great events.

The first good news was that Ye Tang received the first dividend from Master Xiao Wu's family, a total of two taels and three hundred and forty coins. Her father and brother also gave her five taels of silver, for a total of seven taels and three hundred and forty coins.

This is just the dividend for ten days. If you calculate carefully, she can get more than twenty taels of silver a month.

It’s great to be able to get so much money without having to do business myself.

However, there is still a long way to go if you want to buy a restaurant.

Got to find a way to make quick money.

The second good news is that there is news about the case of County Magistrate Zhu and Feng Tianbao. County Magistrate Zhu and Feng Tianbao have been sentenced to immediate execution, together with that murderer, they will be beheaded at Caishikou in Wutong County tomorrow, and their wives and children will be slaves for life.

The prefect will come to supervise the execution tomorrow, and all the people can go to watch. Before the execution, County Magistrate Zhu and Feng Tianbao will be paraded through the streets for public display.

Ye Tang was extremely excited when he heard this: "This is really good news, husband, father, Ping An, quickly go collect the rotten vegetable leaves and smelly dog ​​shit..."

Ye Pingan was puzzled: "What are you collecting these for?"

"Of course it's used to beat the downed dog!" Ye Tang's eyes sparkled.
