A peasant girl traveled through time and space, and she became prosperous

Boss Chen was stunned. After all, it was this matter again. He had never heard of it at all?

Boss Chen stretched out his sleeve to wipe the sweat off his face, then turned to look at the shopkeeper beside him. The shopkeeper also looked confused and hurriedly shook his hands at Boss Chen.

The county magistrate closed the account book and said nothing. He stood at the front and looked at the group of people in the center of the hall. His eyes narrowed slightly and he raised his chin towards the crowd.

A general standing next to him understood, stepped forward, and gave orders to the crowd:

"Tall ones stand back, short ones come to the front."

There had never been such a big scene in Minhuang County. The guests were all frightened and wanted to go home early. They all became very well-behaved and began to move obediently among the crowd.

Wen Meijiu was about to move forward when someone grabbed her arm. She turned around and saw that it was Prince Wang.

Young Master Wang shook his head slightly at her. He felt that Magistrate Min Huang had some ill intentions.

In the crowd, Prince Wang and Zhi Zheng both stood out from the crowd. Prince Wang took Wen Meijiu's arm and went to the back.

Wen Meijiu is with them, so if there is any emergency, they can respond in time.

Wen Meijiu was not tall enough, and just as she raised her feet to make up the number, something was stuffed under her feet. She looked down and saw it was a man's foot.

Wen Meijiu couldn't help but feel a little warm in her heart. She turned around to look at Master Wang with gratitude. However, Master Wang had a blank expression on his face and gestured for her to look ahead.

With a soft hiss, Zhi Zheng softened his voice and whispered:

"Miss Wen, don't move."

Wen Meijiu was surprised, thinking that she had accidentally stepped on Zhi Zheng's foot. She quickly moved to the side, but was pulled back by someone behind her.

Her body returned to its original position, and her feet were still there, motionless.

"Don't move."

Prince Wang frowned and scolded her in a low voice in displeasure.

Now Wen Meijiu finally understood that it was he who asked Zhi Zheng to put his feet under hers as a cushion.

It was too inhumane of him to use someone else's talent to offer something to someone else. Wen Meijiu disagreed with this and raised her toes again to reduce the weight on Zhizheng's feet as much as possible.

However, she soon could not stand anymore, and her heel fell and stepped heavily on Zhizheng's instep.

Behind the right side, I could hear Zhi Zheng's heavy breathing, he was enduring it.

"Tell you not to move."

Because of Wen Meijiu's outrageous actions, Zhi Zheng felt even more painful when he was pressed down hard. Prince Wang was slightly annoyed and felt extremely resentful.

Suddenly, Wen Meijiu was lifted up under his armpits, and he instantly grew two centimeters taller.

It was Prince Wang who placed his arm under one of her arms to ease the pain of the fight.

The general saw that the crowd had stood in line as requested, turned around and reported to the county magistrate. The county magistrate nodded and nodded slightly towards the legal advisor with a squint.

The master's eyes swept through the crowd, his gaze stayed on Wen Meijiu's face for a moment, and then he looked away.

He looked confident, with a scornful smile on his face. He paced around Boss Chen and whispered:

"Boss Chen, as long as you cooperate with us, we can catch the rebels as soon as possible and withdraw our troops in time so as not to delay your business.

If it drags on like this for ten days or half a month, not only you won’t be able to bear it, but these guests won’t be able to bear it either!”

The lawyer's fingers fell on Boss Chen's arm and tapped lightly, the hint being obvious.

Boss Chen has been in business for many years and has built up such a successful and large business. Of course he can understand what the lawyer means.

As long as he can hand over the rebels, he can prove his innocence.

As for who the "rebel" is and whether he is real, it doesn't seem to be that important.

After a lot of thoughts in his mind, Boss Chen stomped his foot hard on the ground. This bad guy had to do it whether he wanted to or not.

Turning around, he whispered to the shopkeeper:

"Did anyone suspicious come in while I was away?"

"Suspicious person?"

The shopkeeper was also a little panicked. He scratched his chin and rolled his eyes around, but he didn't come up with any rules.

The lawyer quietly knocked on Boss Chen:

"Boss Chen, your shopkeeper is not smart enough. How can you trust him to manage such a big restaurant?

If he loses all your money, you will have no place to cry."

The lawyer's fingers tapped Boss Chen's arm again, neither lightly nor heavily, more times than before, and he spoke word by word, which made Boss Chen think about it.

He said, "The restaurant has lost everything." This statement is absolutely meaningful. The people should not fight against the officials. Boss Chen became even more panicked.

"Yes, yes, yes, Master, what you said makes sense."

Turning around, Boss Chen yelled at the shopkeeper beside him:

"Didn't you just tell me that there was a fight in our restaurant? You said that the guy looked like a bad guy. Could he be the rebel the county magistrate was looking for?"

The shopkeeper was frightened by the boss's sudden raised voice. After waking up, he waved his hand and said:

"Probably not."

The shopkeeper thought that the rebels’ escape would be hasty and panic-stricken. Although the two guests in black cloaks were tall, they did not have the temperament of soldiers, and their appearance was clean and noble, so they did not look like that.

But that woman, who looked thin and weak, behaved in a somewhat bandit-like manner. She did not play by the rules at all and even threatened him with a dagger.

However, as a woman, she should have nothing to do with the rebels.

"Manager Tong, please think about it again. Think about it carefully."

The lawyer stared at Shopkeeper Chen. Shopkeeper Chen was already guiding Shopkeeper Tong. Shopkeeper Tong was still hesitant, so he became a little anxious.

Being asked anxiously by Boss Chen, Shopkeeper Tong was also very embarrassed. He tilted his head, curled his lips and said pitifully:

"Boss, this, this is a bit, a bit of that, right?"

It's too far-fetched.

Shopkeeper Tong felt that if one wanted to frame someone, there had to be evidence to back it up and one could not just slander them.

"You, you coward!"

Boss Chen saw that Shopkeeper Tong refused to leave even when he was urged to do so. Wasn't he just waiting for him to suffer the consequences?

In anger, Shopkeeper Chen cursed Shopkeeper Tong, and still not feeling relieved, he added:

“If this rebel cannot be found, it means you have hidden him. What do you think?

My Qingfeng Tower is a serious place, and I can't just hand it over to the rebels' accomplices to manage it."

This was a blatant threat, and even if Shopkeeper Tong was dumb, he could hear it.

If he didn't do what Boss Chen said, he would not only lose his job but might also go to jail.

"Boss, you can't do that, you can't do that.

I have been with you for twenty years, how could you do this?"

It was no use for Shopkeeper Tong to beg for mercy. Boss Chen became even angrier and pointed at his nose and whispered:

"If you don't want to take the blame, then should I take it?

Now I'm just asking you to make up a lie, but I'm not asking you to kill anyone or burn anything."

Shopkeeper Tong nodded helplessly, and hesitated for a long time without taking a single step forward.
