Bracelet space through the past and present? Take it

Although he had known that the Xie family would take action against him, he did not expect that the first attack would take a life.

Zhou Lingling walked out and looked at the woman in mourning kneeling at the door of her shop without any sympathy in her eyes.

Her gaze swept over the ferocious servants in the innermost group and landed on the middle-aged man standing behind one of the servants.

"Uncle Sang, where are the others?"

Sang Lin was one of the two standing at the door protecting everyone.

Hearing Zhou Lingling's question, Sang Lin lowered his head in shame.

It turned out that these old soldiers thought that since there were so many of them, they couldn't really let a little girl take care of them in their old age.

So apart from Tie Yuan who came to the Zhou family every day, only a few people were left in the store, thinking that it was just a tavern, and they just needed someone to watch over it and make sure there were no drunkards causing trouble. The rest went to work at the docks.

They didn't expect that money in the Southern Region was so easy to make. They could earn one or two hundred coins a day by carrying bags at the dock. So all the brothers went there, and only the two of them were left.

It's only been two days and I didn't expect something to happen in the store.

When Zhou Lingling knew this, she was both angry and heartbroken, but she didn't have time to tell them about it for the time being.

She turned to Erniu and said, "Brother Erniu, go out from the back and go to the dock to call everyone else back."

The Xie family has come to her door, and she must give them a taste of their own medicine.

After hearing this, Erniu turned around and ran inside without even putting down the broom.

The middle-aged man in the crowd saw that there was a little girl beside Zhou Lao Er and couldn't help but laugh sarcastically and said:

"Manager Zhou, I advise you not to waste your time. Even if the government comes, it will be useless. And our Xie family is about to sue you, Zhou Ji, for murder!"

The middle-aged man chuckled strangely, "By then, Shopkeeper Zhou will not only be unable to run the store, but he might even end up in jail!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the little woman on the ground cried even louder.

"Boss, how will our family survive if you leave?"

"You black-hearted shop owner, what on earth did you give my husband to eat? He lost a life just like that..."

"If you leave, how will we, an orphan and a widow, survive? It would be better if we die together. Then we can have a companion on our journey to the underworld..."

As she cried, two more sharp cries were heard beside her.

There were two children, one was a little girl, about three or four years old, and the other was an older boy, about seven or eight years old.

Seeing this, Zhou Lingling finally frowned.

When the onlookers saw this, the discussion became even louder.

"I didn't expect this tavern to be so shady. A good man is gone just like that. What's going to happen to this whole family?"

"It's quite pitiful. This week's diary still refuses to admit it. It's true that the store owners have always been black-hearted!"

"These orphans and their widowed mother will have a hard time in the future. We should pay them some money to help them get by..."

Zhou Lingling ignored the discussions, walked up to the young woman who was wiping away her tears, and calmly looked at her, asking:

"You said your husband died from eating something in our tavern?"

The young woman was stunned by Zhou Lingling's gaze. She subconsciously turned her head to look at the middle-aged man, then immediately turned her head back and covered her face and cried.

"How could this be false? My husband is healthy and well, and he came to buy some wine and food from your weekly diary yesterday. But when I woke up this morning, I found..."

"Woooooooo..."

The little woman seemed unable to bear to say any more and began to cry again, covering her face with her hands.

Seeing the crowd getting agitated again, the middle-aged man joined in the commotion.

"I can't let anyone harm my Xie family for nothing. Come on, smash this shady shop for me!"

The servants of the Xie family were about to rush forward, waving their sticks, and Tie Yuan and Sang Lin and a few others also went to meet them.

The melee was about to break out. Zhou Lingling clenched her fists and slowly retreated to the back.

"Uncle Tie, don't hold back!"

"It doesn't matter if you kill or injure!"

These servants attacked without hesitation, but their men were only concerned with protecting the people behind them, and were greatly constrained, so they themselves took a lot of beatings.

When Tie Yuan and the others heard this, their restrained aura suddenly surged.

How could a group of servants defeat a man who had fought bloody battles on the battlefield?

Together with the extremely strong Zhou Laoer and Zhou Yun, a group of servants quickly lost their armor and lay wailing at the door of Zhou Ji's house.

Some of those who were seriously injured fainted on the spot.

This shocked the middle-aged man and the onlookers.

Zhou Lingling took two steps forward, and the middle-aged man took two steps back.

He shouted, "Don't come over here! I'm the housekeeper of the Xie Mansion. Do you know the consequences of offending my Xie family?"

Zhou Lingling glanced at him indifferently: "I haven't offended your Xie family, but you guys are here to cause trouble, aren't you?"

"So what does it matter whether you offend someone or not?"

After saying that, Zhou Lingling ignored him and looked at the woman kneeling on the ground calmly and asked her again:

"Can you answer my question now?"

The woman shuddered, hugged her two children tightly with both hands, and nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, I can answer."

Zhou Lingling walked forward, reached out her hand and gently lifted the other person's chin, looking at him meaningfully for a moment.

"She is indeed quite pretty. This lady is usually favored by many people, right? For example, this housekeeper?"

The woman's arms around the child froze. She shook her head and said excitedly:

"I didn't! I'm innocent! Don't tarnish my reputation with your nonsense!"

"You, this shady shop, killed my husband, not enough, are you forcing me to die too?"

Zhou Lingling snorted, "Just be innocent, why are you so excited? Someone who doesn't know you would think you're guilty."

The woman was speechless, finally closed her mouth, and began to sob softly again.

Zhou Lingling looked around and saw the regular customers of Zhou Ji in the crowd, who were all looking at her with complicated eyes.

She said, "This lady brought a body to the door of my weekly shop and then said someone died from eating my food. That's ridiculous. So, can I go to the Xingyuan Rice Shop and say someone died from eating your rice? Or go to the Xiangsheng Cloth Shop and say someone died from wearing your clothes?"

These two stores are near Zhouji. They have a good relationship with Zhouji and come to their stores from time to time to have a bite to eat.

Hearing this, the two shopkeepers in the crowd shook their heads.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! This is nonsense!"

"That's really ridiculous. You said your husband died from eating food from Zhouji. Doesn't that mean all of us who ate there yesterday are dead?"

Many regular customers in the crowd also responded.

Seeing this, Zhou Lingling smiled slightly: "Thank you all for your trust."

She continued, "Is there something wrong with Zhou Ji's writings? And what caused this woman's husband's death? Since the matter has been reported to the authorities, they will make the final decision."

"Although the officials have been slow to respond after I reported the matter to the police, your Xie family is just a merchant family. Bringing people to my weekly journal in broad daylight, shouting and killing, is this behavior any different from that of thieves?"

"Or is it that the entire Yunlai Town is under the control of your Xie family, and even the government has to listen to your Xie family, so a steward and a servant of your family can be so fearless?"
