I became the villain's deceased wife

Yang Shucai heard the noise and hurried out to see what was going on.

Song Tian also followed him downstairs.

Then he saw a sturdy man in his thirties, wearing a black robe, the work uniform of a county official, and brought four young and strong yamen runners, staring at the guests of Zuixianlou with a fierce look.

Yang Shucai nodded and bowed to greet the man in charge, called him Captain Zhang, and asked him what happened.

Captain Zhang scanned the hall with his eagle-like eyes and explained in full force:

"There is a habitual murderer who has escaped to your Zuixianlou. This person is quite capable. If we fail to catch him, there will be endless trouble. Please ask Manager Yang and all the guests to help investigate."

It was lunch time. Zuixianlou had become famous in Fenglin County because it had recently launched many new products, and many people came to taste them.

The lobby was packed with customers. Some of them couldn’t even get a seat and asked to take the food home, and they stood there waiting for it to be ready.

When they heard that a murderer had sneaked in, everyone suddenly became panicked and there was a lot of noise.

"Don't move, otherwise the thief will take the opportunity to escape and you will all be considered as harboring him!"

The four constables all drew their swords.

The scene finally became quiet again.

Yang Shucai was also very panicked. Everyone came to Zuixianlou to eat, but something like this happened. If something really happened to him, would anyone dare to come to his place to eat in the future?

"Captain Zhang, what are the characteristics of this person you are talking about?

I have so many diners here, it would be inconvenient to check them one by one."

He just wanted to finish it quickly and send these people away.

Captain Zhang thought what he said made sense, so he said:

"That man has a dark complexion, is about seven feet three inches tall, and is wearing a black tights!"

The diners in the lobby looked at each other, looking for the person wearing black.

But looking around, they are all wearing long robes and shirts. Who is wearing tights?

Wearing tights in broad daylight is really eye-catching.

Captain Zhang was very helpless, he had been leading his men to chase the man since yesterday until now but still hadn't gotten a clear look at his appearance. If he checked one by one he might not be able to find the man.

"The thief was very agile, he must have stolen someone else's clothes and put them on."

He was very troubled and was afraid that he would return empty-handed again.

"Ah, how do I find this?"

"That's right, you can't let us go if we can't find it!"

……

The diners started to riot again.

Song Tian looked at the crowd in the lobby. There were more than 200 people, and most of them did not know each other. If the criminal wanted to blend in among the diners and escape, it would be too easy.

Moreover, this restaurant has a back door. There are only five yamen runners and the captain of the police, so they will definitely not be able to keep an eye on it.

Thinking of this, she moved towards the back door.

Anyone who tries to escape from here will undoubtedly be a criminal.

But can a woman like her stop the villain who knows martial arts?

While she was thinking, she saw a bamboo basket of vegetables outside the back door, and she suddenly had an idea.

"Shopkeeper Yang, the one hundred mountain scorpions I sent you have all run away!

Ouch, it hurts! "

Song Tian suddenly threw a bamboo basket into the crowd, then covered her hand and screamed in pain, pretending to be stung by a scorpion.

The crowd exploded instantly.

Fried scorpions are the signature dish of Zuixianlou. Many people love to eat it, and it has the effect of strengthening the body.

But if all the living scorpions run out, things will not be good.

"Don't even move!"

No matter how the detectives shouted, the diners stamped their feet in panic, fearing that they would be stung by scorpions.

"Everyone, take off your outer robes and shake them off. This scorpion is crawling fast and it may have already climbed onto your clothes!"

Song Tian gave timely suggestions.

For a moment, those who were eating ignored their manners and elegance and quickly took off their outer robes and shook them vigorously.

Captain Zhang was an experienced veteran and immediately understood Song Tian's intention. He held the hilt of the knife and stared at the crowd in the lobby with a sharp gaze.

It was discovered that while everyone was frantically taking off their outer robes to look for the scorpion, a man in a brown robe lowered his head and quietly squeezed through the crowd and slipped towards the back door.

He waved his hand and asked several yamen runners to follow him.

The criminal lowered his head and squeezed to the back door. He was only one step away from escaping, but Captain Zhang was still five steps away.

At the critical moment, Song Tian hid behind the door and hit him with a stick!

The criminal had some kung fu experience, so he just dodged to the side and reached out to grab Song Tian's wooden stick.

Song Tian struggled, stumbled and fell, landing on the criminal!

"grass--"

The criminal cursed viciously, but it was too late to escape. Captain Zhang and his team rushed over and pinned him to the ground!

After pulling off his coat, I found a black tights underneath!

"Little girl, you were very brave just now. You actually helped me catch this long-escaped criminal."

Captain Zhang ordered his men to tie up the criminal and looked at Song Tian with a smile.

"The government has rewards for people like you. You can take my name card to the government office to get ten taels of silver!"

As he said this, he handed Song Tian a business card.

Song Tian didn't want the ten taels of silver, so she quickly stopped him:

"Captain Zhang, please wait. I don't want the ten taels of silver. I want to get a business license. Can you help me?"

This is really hard to find, and it takes no effort at all to get it.

It was the first time that Captain Zhang had seen someone make such a request, and he turned around and looked at her strangely.

Yang Shucai quickly spoke up for her.

"This is a distant cousin of mine. He came to me for help with a dental certificate, but I'm too busy to leave. Captain Zhang, could you help introduce him?"

It would take a normal merchant three to five months to get a certificate. But if one has connections within the government, not only would the time be shorter, but the money would also be less.

Captain Zhang nodded.

He knew this shopkeeper Yang. It was said that the owner of Zuixianlou was very powerful in the capital, and even the county magistrate would give some face to the man named Yang.

"Jiang Feng, take this young lady to the pawnbroker's office to get a certificate of innocence. Just say she is my relative and ask him to hurry up."

Captain Zhang turned around and pointed at a constable.

This shows that he is willing to protect her. Song Tian quickly expressed his gratitude.

"Thank you very much, Captain Zhang, for your care. When my shop opens someday, please bring your brothers to visit. I'll treat you!"

Captain Zhang has a somewhat fierce look, but he looks quite kind when he smiles.

"There aren't many young people as smart and brave as you, not to mention you're a delicate young lady. Zhang admires your courage!"

If Song Tian hadn't been here today, he might not have been able to catch the suspect.

With the officials leading the way, things became much easier.

When the clerk in charge of processing the business certificate heard that it was related to Captain Zhang, he quickly wrote the certificate and asked Song Tian to wait for a while while he went to ask the lawyer to stamp it, and it would be done.

"Thank you, sir!"

Song Tian thanked him politely and gave an extra five taels of silver as a tribute.

"Sir, I want to ask you something.

What position does the market supervisor hold in the county government? If the market supervisor makes things difficult for us and deliberately overturns the vendors' stalls, where can we go to seek justice?"

The clerk handed her the stamped certificate with an air of distance, as if it had nothing to do with me.

Although she was a relative of Captain Zhang, he didn't want to offend those troublemakers.

"To put it bluntly, the market inspectors are not regular government officials, but unemployed vagrants hired just to facilitate management.

If a girl meets someone who deliberately stirs up trouble...

Why not ask Captain Zhang to come forward and solve the problem?

Otherwise, I will have to go to court and file a complaint."

He can't afford to do anything about it anyway.

Song Tian understood. No wonder Niu Er was so brazen. It turned out that people in the yamen were not willing to meddle in their affairs.
