Sure enough, a few days later, Yang Wei came to the door with a bunch of snacks and food, and said to Li Shao with a big laugh that he must have a good drink with him today.

Li Shao asked with a puzzled look on his face: "What good news is there? You look so happy."

Yang Wei said mysteriously: "Brother Li, you would never have thought that money is so expensive. It is really a case of evil being punished with evil!"

Li Shao pretended to be shocked, "How did he die? Wasn't he fine when we ran into him a few days ago?"

"On the night we met him, he was killed. Wu Cai and the waiter worked together to kill him. They smashed his head with a rock. He died a horrible death. The scene was unbearable to think about. Even I almost vomited when I saw it."

I felt a little nauseous when I thought about it, so I quickly drank some tea to calm myself down.

"Why did Wu Cai and that waiter want to kill him? I don't think they have a motive. They didn't catch the wrong person, did they?"

Yang Wei also said seriously at this time: "The person who discovered the scene was a night watchman. According to him, he saw with his own eyes the two men holding the murder weapon next to Qian Gui's body. At that time, there was no one around except them. Isn't this ironclad evidence?"

"Although we really don't know why the two killed people, they were so scared when they were caught that they pissed and shit all over their bodies. They kept saying that they didn't kill anyone and that they were wrongly accused. But doesn't every murderer say that they were wrongly accused?"

Li Shao nodded in agreement, "That makes sense."

Yang Wei continued, "Although his sister was only the county magistrate's concubine, she also had a background. Before we had a chance to try them, the county constables brought them to the county for trial. We heard that the county magistrate was going to sentence them to death, so they committed suicide in prison out of fear of punishment."

This surprised Li Shao, "Committing suicide out of fear of punishment?"

Although there was no one around, Yang Wei still whispered, "It's said that he committed suicide out of fear of punishment, but who knows what happened? If you want to execute the death penalty, it must be reviewed by the higher-level prefect, and then handed over to the three courts for trial. After they all pass, it will be recorded and presented to the emperor for review. It must be approved before it can be carried out."

"If they can't get off after a few months of tossing and turning, how can Sister Qiangui wait? But suicide out of fear of crime is different. They want to die on their own and no one can stop them. The case is closed just like that."

"Brother Li, I'm telling you, don't dare spread this to anyone. But considering Qian Gui's character, maybe Wu Cai and the others hated him to death a long time ago. And it's normal for him to kill someone after drinking that day. This is dog bites dog, and evil will be rewarded with evil." Yang Wei sighed a bit after he finished speaking, muttering that one should always leave room for maneuver when doing things.

Li Shao agreed with him and said that what he said made sense, thinking that this matter was carried out according to his idea.

Yang Wei was right in his guess. Qian Gui, the so-called brother-in-law, had given most of his earnings to the county magistrate as a tribute, and he was suddenly killed, which really made him angry.

Qian Gui's sister kept asking him to kill the murderer who killed her brother, which made the county magistrate very upset.

He has been an official for so many years and has encountered too many unsolved cases. Regardless of whether Wu Cai and his partner killed the person or not, there were witnesses and evidence at the time and they could not escape.

According to the normal process, it would require several levels of review, but it took too long. Just a glance from him and the people under him would know what to do.

At this time, Yang Wei saw that Zhao Ye was not there, so he asked, "Where is my sister-in-law? Why can't I see her?"

"Isn't his third brother getting married soon? His mother dragged him to look at the wedding dresses."

Yang Wei slapped his thigh, "Right! I almost forgot about this. Now that you and Brother Hao are relatives, I never thought you would have this fate when I introduced you to each other. Brother Hao has also sent me an invitation, so we brothers can have a good drink together then."

Li Shao smiled and said, "Yes, this fate is really wonderful. Hahahaha, I have asked the kitchen to prepare wine and food. We should have a good drink later."

"Hahaha, I came here today just for your wine. No one in our town can compare to the wine you brew!"

"Okay, I'll give you a taste of my newly brewed wine later. It's very fragrant. By the way, when Brother Ye comes back later, don't tell him about the death. I'm afraid he will be scared."

Yang Wei teased, "Brother Li, I've never seen you love your wife so much."

Li Shao had a proud look on his face. "Isn't it normal to love your wife? But you are not young anymore, it's time to find someone to confide in. When you get married, you will know the benefits of having a wife."

Seeing that he was talking about himself, Yang Wei immediately made a bitter face, "Brother Li, why do you say the same thing? My mother and my brother and sister-in-law keep nagging me whenever they see me, so I don't dare to go to them. Please stop talking, I'm fine alone."

"Hahahaha, you really are." Seeing his embarrassing look, Li Shao couldn't help but laugh, and stopped talking and started talking about other things.

In the evening, the two of them drank and talked happily, and they had a great time. Li Shao's newly brewed wine was sweet and refreshing, with a long aftertaste. Yang Wei fell in love with it at the first sip, and ended up getting drunk again, and slept at Li Shao's house for the night.

The next day, he said with a red face that he would not dare to drink too much next time and cause him trouble again.

Li Shao didn't care. Before leaving, he gave him two jars and told him to go back and drink slowly.

A few days after Qian Gui's death, Zhang Shun came to Li Shao and told him that the owners of the two shops had asked him to apologize to Li Shao, and if Li Shao still wanted it, the price could be negotiated.

Although the two were threatened, Li Shao no longer wanted to have anything to do with them and simply refused.

Zhang Shun thought that it was fortunate that he had been prepared. "Boss Li, I have been running around these days, asking around, and I have found two shops for you. Whether it is location, size or layout, they are better than those two shops."

"I had to haggle with the seller for seven or eight times before I got the price down. Both shops are 80 taels each. The seller in both shops is the same person from the town. If you have time today, come with me to take a look. If you like them, we can go through the formalities today."

After saying that, he rubbed his hands and looked at Li Shao and Zhao Ye expectantly.

Li Shao turned around and said, "Brother Ye, how about we go and take a look?"

Zhao Ye nodded and said okay.

Zhang Shunxi said with a smile: "I'm not exaggerating, I guarantee that you will like those two shops after seeing them."

The three of them went to the town together to look at shops. This time Zhang Shun was not bragging. The two shops had good locations and good layouts. They were bigger than the previous two shops, but the prices were similar.

Seeing that Zhao Ye was also very satisfied, Li Shao decided to buy it immediately.

Zhang Shun immediately contacted the seller, and then the few of them went to the pawnshop to handle the relevant procedures. After obtaining the registration from the Inspection Office, Li Shao also got the deed to the shop, which still had Zhao Ye's name on it.

Zhang Shun was so happy to make a deal that he rolled his eyes and said attentively, "Boss Li, Mr. Li, from what you said, do you want to do business on your own? I know a lot of people who do decoration, or if you need to buy something, I have connections."

He is an enterprising person, and he is not annoying when he talks and does things. Li Shao smiled and said, "You are a very smart person, always thinking about soliciting business. Okay, I will find you if I need anything."

"Okay! I'll take care of it for you when the time comes." Zhang Shun said happily.

If you take good care of this wealthy boss, you will have plenty of business to do in the future.
