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

"I, I, I..."

Shopkeeper Tong was neither as ruthless nor as eloquent as Boss Chen. When Wen Meijiu asked him that question with gritted teeth, he was unable to answer for a moment. He was so nervous that he turned around and asked Boss Chen:

"When did I say that?"

Boss Chen cursed Manager Tong in his heart for being such a fool and had to help him to cover up his lie. He grabbed Manager Tong by the collar and said threateningly:

"You told me this on the way here. How come you are so forgetful?"

Shopkeeper Tong was confused. He had never said this at all, but since Boss Chen said he did, he had to say that he did.

Who made Manager Chen hold his life in his hands?

The guests in the lobby were also shocked by Boss Chen's sudden change in expression. Anyone could see that Boss Chen's slander no longer cared about any evidence. He only wanted to report to the county magistrate.

"Shopkeeper Tong, you are a good person. I believe these words did not come from you, but from Boss Chen, whose purpose is to slander us.

If he can slander me like this today, he can slander you tomorrow, and he can slander everyone here."

Shopkeeper Chen's voice was loud, and Wen Meijiu's voice was even louder. She suddenly got angry, shocking everyone at the scene.

No one would have thought that such a thin little girl could have such amazing explosive power.

Of course, everyone knew that Boss Chen was deliberately throwing dirty water on Wen Meijiu.

When the city gate caught fire, everyone was afraid that they would be implicated. No one said a word, and they were all terrified, fearing that the same thing would happen to them.

The volume and intimidating power of the sound of warm wine also made the county magistrate and the legal advisor on the scene look sideways in surprise.

Wen Meijiu was only targeting Boss Chen now. She didn't look at anyone else. Then, she continued:

"Boss Chen, I think you are so eager to pin the blame on others. Is it possible that you are a rebel yourself, or have some kind of connection with the rebels?"

Everyone can slander someone, so isn't it just a matter of talking nonsense?

When these words were spoken, Boss Chen was frightened and quickly turned to look at the county magistrate and the legal advisor.

Of course, the county magistrate couldn't say anything at this time, so the lawyer spoke for him:

"Miss Wen, everything requires evidence. How do you prove that what you said is true?"

Wen Meijiu slowly turned her head to look at the master standing beside her, and then the smile on her lips widened. Her lips were tightly clenched, and there was a hint of ruthlessness in her pinkness. She barely opened her lips and said:

"Just now, I was upstairs and vaguely heard the rebels in the backyard plotting how to evade the county magistrate's investigation and successfully break out from here.

At that time, I didn't understand what was going on when I heard them. It was not until what Boss Chen said just now was exactly the same as what they said that I was awakened.

Boss Chen is playing the game of "Besiege Wei to Save Zhao" with us here."

The two people slandered each other. Wen Meijiu's words were certainly not credible, and neither were Boss Chen's words. She was using this method to prove her innocence.

If the county magistrate chooses to believe Boss Chen's nonsense, he also has to believe Wen Meijiu's nonsense, so as to appear fair and just on the surface. After all, so many eyes are watching.

Wen Meijiu used his own method to retaliate, which caught Boss Chen off guard. All he could think of was to tell the county magistrate not to believe Wen Meijiu's words.

"No way, she's talking nonsense."

Wen Meijiu and Boss Chen both looked in the direction of the legal advisor and the county magistrate, and even the sincerity and desire in their eyes were the same.

Her sudden move caught the county magistrate and the legal advisor off guard. It was difficult for them to say that Wen Meijiu was just talking nonsense in front of so many people.

"Okay, since Miss Wen said so, where is your evidence?"

Wen Meijiu pointed to the backyard with a serious expression and said:

"The rebels are somewhere in the backyard. If I can find them, wouldn't the truth be revealed?"

The master was the first to stand up and reject the suggestion made by Wen Meijiu.

Wen Meijiu spread his hands and spoke with certainty, as if it were really true.

"No, the backyard is Boss Chen's private area, outsiders are not allowed to enter casually."

The lawyer kept making excuses and said that it seemed like it was for Boss Chen's own good, but Boss Chen was very confused to hear this.

To go to the backyard from the lobby on the first floor of Qingfeng Building, you have to go through the kitchen. The kitchen door is currently heavily guarded and no one can go in. The master has said that even Boss Chen is not allowed to go in, but Boss Chen doesn't know it yet.

Seeing that the master had been rejecting Wen Meijiu, Boss Chen thought that the master was on his side. He instantly became complacent and glanced at Wen Meijiu with disdain, wanting to laugh at her.

After testing, Wen Meijiu became more certain that there was a big ghost in the backyard. However, how could they quickly enter the backyard without the county magistrate's permission?

After being rejected by the master, Wen Meijiu looked frustrated, lowered his head, drooped his arms, turned around with a sad face and slowly walked to the side of Prince Wang, muttering:

"Master, what you said makes sense. What should we do?"

She said this and when she turned around to face Young Master Wang, she blinked at him fiercely.

Prince Wang knew that she was hinting at him, but he didn't know what she was going to do. Although his eyes seemed to be fixed on Wen Meijiu, his peripheral vision was always watching her every move.

The lobby was unusually quiet at this time. Everyone was sure that Wen Meijiu was possessed by the official. Even though she provided clues about the rebels, the master still refused to verify it.

Was it an attempt to firmly label Wen Meijiu a rebel, or was it looking for a new candidate? In an instant, everyone felt insecure.

Turning around suddenly, Wen Meijiu raised his wide sleeves and pointed at the kitchen door and said:

"Oh my God! Look, is there a fire in the backyard or the kitchen?"

Prince Wang was stunned for a moment, but unexpectedly Wen Meijiu pushed him forward. He quickly understood Wen Meijiu's intention, tiptoed on the ground, and ran towards the kitchen door.

After Zhi Zheng reacted, he quickly followed his master's footsteps and ran away.

Wen Meijiu shouted at the right time from behind:

"My Lord, put out the fire first, then catch the rebels, and then we'll get married when you come back."

Before the soldiers guarding the door could react, Prince Wang had already flipped over their heads and flew into the air above the kitchen.

The kitchen in Qingfeng Tower was certainly not small, and there were more than one oil pan inside. The officers and soldiers surrounded the place in such a hurry that many pans still had hot oil in them.

Behind the kitchen is the backyard, which has a row of houses and is usually used to store various items.

This year, the harvest has been bad and grain prices have been rising continuously. Boss Chen stocked up a lot of grain early on, intending to sell it when the price is at its highest.

However, in order to maintain stability, the county magistrate has been posting notices on the streets prohibiting merchants from hoarding grain.

Boss Chen has his own rice shop. He puts the grain in the backyard of Qingfeng Tower to hide it from others.

Prince Wang heard what Wen Meijiu said and understood what she meant. The fire was just an excuse.
