Never divorce, never stop getting rich

"Let's see who dares!"

Just as the door of the restaurant was about to close, a group of constables rushed in. Among them was an old man with a white beard, carrying a green official robe and running out of breath.

Just when I was about to make a final push and take advantage of this passion to do something big, I was suddenly poured with a bucket of cold water. My rationality returned, and I started to tremble all over. I was so scared that I couldn't even stand steadily.

"Shi Kai! Someone accused you of defrauding people of money, organizing gambling, and murder!"

The county magistrate of Pingqiao Town wiped his sweat and cursed in his heart. He would be able to complete his task smoothly in a few months. He had never met many noble people in his entire life as an official. How come he was so old that he almost lost his reputation because of a scoundrel like Shi Laoer?

Shi Laoer saw that the county magistrate was already the highest-ranking official he could meet. Qian Qiansui was just a woman, and he had no idea how noble she was. He even felt a sense of superiority as a leader.

But the county magistrate is different. He will really be thrown into jail and even lose his head.

His knees gave way and he knelt down, his whole body shaking as if in a state of shock. It took him a long time to utter, "Absolutely...absolutely not...this."

"Stop talking nonsense and tie him up and take him away!"

The county magistrate didn't care about so many things. The evidence was solid, there was a letter from the marquis, and everyone in the town knew what kind of person Shi Lao Er was.

If you ask me, this guy is just bored. He has a sister-in-law who works hard every day to make him a lot of money. Even if he lies at home counting money every day, he will never be able to spend it all in his lifetime.

But it is such a waste who thinks highly of himself. Not only does he spy on restaurants, but he also spends his days eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. The wife he married is so short-sighted.

It is even more outrageous now. They can send the God of Wealth away, but they didn’t expect that the person behind the God of Wealth is not someone to be trifled with.

"No! I am innocent, my lord, please understand!" He watched the detectives rushing towards him, and was so scared that he collapsed to the ground, but he didn't forget to crawl back.

"The evidence is irrefutable. Your boss, Chang Siwu, has already confessed. You have repeatedly used the gambling house to set up scams and deceived gamblers into taking out mortgage loans.

You used tricks to cheat people out of their money, and when they were unwilling to lend you money, you even killed them and forged IOUs..."

If the Marquis had not given him a clue, he, the county magistrate, would still be kept in the dark, which is simply a shame.

"No, this is not my fault. He forced me to do this. It's all because of Old Chang! If I didn't agree, he would kill me and take away my family's restaurant!"

At this moment, Shi Laoer told the truth. He was addicted to gambling before, so after his parents passed away, he squandered all the family property.

But Lao Chang knew that the real owner of the restaurant was Shi Niangzi, and that Shi Laoer's mortgage procedures were not legal. He was afraid that if things got out of hand, the county magistrate would find out, so he simply took Shi Laoer with him to commit fraud, and gave him some silver from time to time.

Shi Laoer became more and more courageous, and he indirectly killed people. He was introduced to his wife by Lao Chang.

"Sir, I have nothing to do with this matter. I know nothing. I was also taken away by this Shi Lao Er. My life is so miserable!" Shi Er's wife saw her husband being tied up and hurriedly distanced herself from the matter. She looked at the county magistrate with charming eyes and pitiful expression.

"Chang Siwu has confessed everything about you. You were his mistress. You know how many men you have cheated on with him!

You were one of the masterminds of the previous murder. You are doomed this time. Come, take them all away and await interrogation!

The county magistrate rolled his eyes at her and waved his hand. Shi Er's wife's eyelids rolled up and she fainted on the spot out of fright.

Shi Niangzi listened to Shi Laoer accusing Lao Chang of all his evil deeds, closed her eyes, stood up and said to Qian Qiansui: "Madam, let's go, I need to go back to the Shi family to pack some things."

Nothing else, she takes away as much as she brings.

"This...this won't do. Madam, please don't leave. If you leave, what will happen to this restaurant?"

"Yes, my wife is the one who usually makes the decision in this restaurant, so she should make the decision for us now."

"We can't let my wife go. Shi Lao Er will definitely go to jail. If this restaurant closes, how will we live..."

Seeing Lady Shi stand up, the waiters in the restaurant were fed up and stood up to try to keep her.

"Oh, she was bullied like that just now, and you guys are like dumb. Now you want to keep her, but it's too late!"

Qian Qiansui has long been fed up with these fence-sitters. They usually rely on others for their livelihood, but now that someone is in trouble, they help others to add insult to injury. What a joke! Let them regret it.

The guys were not convinced, but they were surrounded by guards and constables, and they didn't want to get into trouble. The quick-witted ones started going to the kitchen, probably to look for valuables.

"The Shi family is bound to fall. Those who are familiar with Shi Lao Er here are probably not innocent either. My lord, you have worked hard.

As for this restaurant, although it is the hard work of Mrs. Shi, it belongs to the Shi family after all. After you have troubled me to deal with it this time, please atone for the sins of Old Second Shi!

Apart from the compensation for the victim, the rest can be sent to Lady Shi. It can be considered as a case of good deeds being rewarded and evil deeds being punished." Qian Qiansui said with a smile.

Anyway, the Shi family cannot get any advantage, not even its side branches!

No one in the crowd had expected the plot to be so reversed. Seeing the charming Shi Er's wife's affectation and cry of injustice, some men felt itchy and couldn't help but whisper:

"This lady is such a busybody! Madam Shi didn't say anything, but she was the one who made all the comments. Now she's ruined the Shi family, and Madam Shi has lost her husband's family. What kind of thing is this!"

"Shut up! You're going to kill us!" His fellow townsman covered his mouth and said angrily:

"I know you liked that secret door before, but now you can't keep your mouth shut for a woman like that. Open your eyes and look at the family crest on the carriage. Is that something an ordinary family would have?"

The man whose mouth was covered was unconvinced at first, but after hearing this, his knees went weak.

"I heard that it's something only the nobles in the capital can have. Do you want us all to be buried with you?"

Although everyone here is a traveling merchant, they have high vision and some of them have in-depth cooperation and dealings with government officials. The family crest on Qian Qiansui's carriage has long been known throughout Pingqiao. Many people are watching in secret, wanting to see what the real purpose of this noble man is.

"Master, you can't leave, Master..."

Qian Qiansui slid to his knees and was helped to jump to the side by Wen Chun. He saw the male apprentice who had snatched the booklet crying with tears and snot:

"Master forced me to do this. You can't blame me. If Master wants to leave, please take me with you."

"What a shameless face! It can really stretch and shrink!" Qian Qiansui never thought that someone could change two faces in such a short time, and connect them so seamlessly without any shame.

Lady Shi was disheartened. She held the booklet and shook her head, saying, "I told you long ago that you had no talent. I'm not your master. I was just following the orders of the two elders of the Shi family. As their daughter-in-law, I just obeyed."

"No, it's impossible. You just don't want to save us. You are too selfish..."

This time, no matter what they said, she did not stop and walked out with big strides. She knew very well that her future would be bleak if she left.

The foundation she had built up for so many years would be destroyed, but she was too tired after so many years and wanted to take a rest.

After waiting for Lady Shi to leave, the constable standing nearby went up and tied up the apprentice as well, sneering, "You think you can get away? At least you can't escape the charge of theft."

The lady had made arrangements in advance, and no one present would have a good ending.

Qian Qiansui specially sent her to another carriage. There were too many things to do here, so letting Shi Niangzi stay alone for a while was her thoughtful gesture.

"Thank you very much." Qian Qiansui got on his carriage, and Wen Chun followed closely behind.

Wen Chun nodded modestly.

There were only a few words of evidence against Shi Laoer in the book, but Wen Chun was able to find most of it in such a short time and provide it to the county magistrate. In Qian Qiansui's eyes, he was considered to be very knowledgeable.

"Aren't you a killer? How come you are so well-informed?" Qian Qiansui raised his head and leaned into Wen Chun's arms and asked curiously.

"Then why did Madam ask the Marquis to write a letter specifically for this matter and deliver it to the Pingqiao County Magistrate? Is the Marquis so idle?"

The handwriting and seal on the letter are exactly the same. Wen Chun came here to kill this person, so how could he make a mistake?

Qian Qiansui touched her face and avoided the other person's sight. She couldn't honestly confess that she used the binding skill.
