System: The Path of a Mortal Being Stronger Through Being a Mother

Lin Miao roughly understood what the few people said with righteous indignation.

It was this prefect's brother-in-law who had taken a fancy to a restaurant owned by a wealthy merchant in the city.

That restaurant was the third largest in the city, because one of the first and second largest was acquired by him through blackmail in the past, and he dared not touch the other one because he had someone in the capital as a backer.

The third largest restaurant recently hired a chef who used to work in the palace. The business was booming, which made him even more eager to buy the restaurant. He bribed some thugs to frame someone, saying that the food he ate was poisonous and the person died.

The owner and manager of the restaurant were arrested and beaten up, and they confessed under torture. The owner had nowhere to turn to, and all his close friends, who dared to offend the prefect, hid away.

There was only a young man left in the family who was a student and a classmate of these people. He used all his family property to pay for the crime and only then was he able to rescue his old father.

The family was already broken up, and they thought they could live in peace. However, before the young man who dropped out of school and his old father could move out, the family of the deceased showed up.

He said that his family members died and he got nothing, so he beat up the owner of the restaurant and stole the last few things.

Seeing that his father was dying, the son had to raise money everywhere to treat his father's injuries. Fortunately, he saved his life. It was also with the help of his classmates who raised money that the father and son were able to barely return home.

The classmates didn’t believe that someone had really died from eating in the restaurant. The classmates had good conduct, so how could their family do such a thing?

After investigation, it was found that the ruffian wanted to fake the death of his own family member, extort some money, and then get some reward money to make a fortune.

Who would have thought that Gao Wencai, the prefect's brother-in-law, would actually poison the gangster's family to death in order to seize all the merchant's wealth for his own home.

The thug didn't dare to seek revenge on Gao Wencai, and only blamed the restaurant owner, which led to the subsequent events.

Lin Miao listened and felt that the merchant was indeed miserable.

But, there are so many injustices in this world. What right does she have to meddle in other people's business?

It is hard to say whether what these people said is the truth.

If this is true, the prefect cannot escape responsibility.

He condoned his family members to do these things and tortured people arbitrarily in the government office. Not only did he protect them, he might have also benefited from it. What's worse, he was the mastermind behind it.

She was listening with great interest when she saw the people next to the young men finish their meal, pay the bill and leave.

Her five senses were sharp now, and she squinted her eyes, feeling that something was going to happen.

The four young scholars next to them were a little drunk and their words were becoming more and more outrageous.

Lin Miao frowned and wanted to remind them, but she saw that several people had red faces and thick necks due to drinking.

The waiter from the restaurant came over to persuade them, but was scolded by the four people as a coward...

Lin Miao......

Man...

At this moment, several policemen with knives on their waists rushed in, went straight to the four scholars, and tied them up with ropes in a few seconds.

The shopkeeper came over to ask. A leading constable shouted, "These people are spreading rebellious words. They must be foreign spies. I will arrest them and interrogate them. No outsiders are allowed to disrupt the government's business."

Everyone looked at each other, and everyone understood that someone had reported them.

Lin Miao thought of the few people who had just left stealthily.

No one dared to say anything.

Several people were taken away just like that, and no one said anything even though they shouted out their injustice.

Then a few people whispered, "It seems that these people have either been abandoned by their families, or their families have gone bankrupt, alas."

Although Lin Miao felt that the words spoken by several people were indeed inappropriate, young people are passionate and no matter what era, young people have the strongest sense of justice.

She paid the bill and left quickly.

Her good mood disappeared in an instant, and she felt her heart heavy. She felt the helplessness of real life and the reality of being in another world.

She walked with her head down and unknowingly came to the government office. She accidentally got too close and was scolded by the gatekeeper, so she quickly walked away.

After thinking for a while, I finally felt extremely angry. Since I came to this world, why can't I be more free and easy?

Besides, she had a cheat device after all.

She came to a relatively large dental shop and looked around for a long time, but there was no one coming in or out. The dental shop was about to close, and a man locked the door. The shop owner next to him greeted him: "Boss Ning, you are going back, how is business today?

The man called Boss Ning was a middle-aged man in his thirties, of medium build. He answered with a worried look on his face, "Hey, business has been bad lately. I didn't make any sales today. My mother is sick, and my family is waiting for me to bring money back. I'm really worried to death."

As he spoke, he walked towards where he lived.

It was getting dark, and most of the people outside were walking home in a hurry, and there were not many people strolling around.

The Ning family lived in a small alley. When they got closer to their home, there were not many people around.

At this time, a man wearing a big cloak and a scarf on his face stopped him and said, "Boy, help me show the way and I will make you rich, how about that?"

When Boss Ning heard the hoarse voice, he was startled and thought it was not a good thing, so he wanted to run away.

Lin Miao said in a slurred voice: "Don't you need money? I'm just pointing you to the right path. I'm not asking you to do anything bad. Isn't your mother waiting for money to treat her illness? Don't you want to save your mother? You're really unfilial."

Ning Lao Da is a filial son. He couldn't accept this and said angrily, "Okay, as long as you don't let me do anything illegal, I can show you the way. But you are sneaking around, I think you are trying to avoid people. If you give me 10 taels of silver, no, 20 taels of silver, I will show you the way. There are also some secrets that others may not know, and I won't tell anyone about it. Just consider it as hush money."

Lin Miao sneered: "Okay."

Boss Ning is a middleman who walks the streets and knows everything. Not only did he show the way, he also learned more about the evil deeds of the prefect's brother-in-law. Did he think that Lin Miao was the ranger and came to kill people?

Lin Miao remembered the place, gave Boss Ning 20 taels of silver, and said to him: "Now you are my accomplice. If you say anything you shouldn't, I know where your family is, and I will kill your whole family."

After saying these threatening words, she let him go without caring whether this guy could keep his mouth shut.

When Boss Ning returned home, he was still trembling in his heart. Oh my God, what will happen tomorrow?

He reminded himself again, what does this have to do with him? This money is enough to treat his mother's illness.

Lin Miao turned a few more corners and returned to the inn after seeing that no one was following her.

She asked the waiter to deliver some bathing supplies, and when they were all used up, she gave him a tip of 10 cents. The waiter also brought her the clothes that had been washed that morning. She thanked him happily after receiving the tip.

Lin Miao was lying on the bed, thinking about things. She had the advantages of speed and strength, but she had no other skills.

She really wanted to do some thieves' robbery, so that she could enrich her own coffers and deal with the unscrupulous magistrate and his brother-in-law.

But, this ability is a bit insufficient.
