Dress up as a sickly person to capture the villain princess!

"It's dry and dry, be careful with the candles!"

"The weather is dry..."

The night watchman held a gong in his hand and struck it gently. The sound of the gong spread throughout the street.

The few medicine boys lying under the counter had their own plans. They held a red candle in their hands, lowered their heads, and squatted under the counter.

"Is this the prescription you took?"

The medicine boy spoke in a serious manner, and seemed to be on high alert against the people in front of him.

"That's it, that's right."

"You kid, let your shopkeeper take a look at it right away."

The two big men rubbed their hands, feeling quite uncomfortable squatting under the counter.

The only shop that could be open all night was the pharmacy in this city. In order to prevent people from coming to get medicine or see a doctor in the middle of the night, the shopkeeper would send a pharmacist to stand in front of the counter with a small window and a small light to guard the shop all night.

"Okay then. I'll be back soon."

"Don't move around here. These are the medicinal ingredients that Master just ground today. They are very valuable!"

The medicine boy put the yellow-brown prescription into his arms and walked towards the door curtain.

The two big men looked back and saw the medicine boy leaving.

Then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Gou Sheng, you've really caused a disaster this time... Tell me, how can I say good things to you!"

"When the time comes, if those dogs in the government follow the news about your wife and find us, the boss will chop our heads like a melon and kick them like a ball!"

In the past few days, something happened in Shanghe Village that caused quite a stir and everyone knew about it.

I don't know which wicked person spread the news of their moving house to others, and insisted that he was abusing his wife, and asked the government to conduct a thorough investigation.

This is great, it actually attracted people from the yamen.

Although there were only two constables who stayed at the tea stall all day and interrogated the villagers of Shanghe Village, but... they were people who had done something wrong, so they were naturally in a state of panic.

I feel suspicious about everything I hear.

"How should I know... Those short-sighted guys, all they do is face the land and back to the sky all day, using a rotten hoe to turn over a few acres of land... Humph, what future can they achieve if they continue like this!"

"They don't understand me... I said I would make a lot of money in the future... They sneered and laughed at me... They laughed at me for being crazy..."

"How could those green bean turtles know...this money-making business is all tied to the belt!"

"Why are you so jealous of me now that I'm rich...waiting to report me to the government!"

Gousheng gnashed his teeth, wishing he could find that bastard, skin him alive, and eat his blood and flesh.

The two of them were still talking when the shopkeeper, who had been standing behind them for a long time, snorted.

"Useless idiots! Do you really think... the government has the time to care about your family affairs?"

There was only a dim light left in the lonely pharmacy, and the shadows of the three people were stretched out very long.

The shopkeeper had a stern face, which looked particularly creepy.

"I think it's likely that one of you two has exposed your true colors, and the lackeys in the government smelled something fishy, ​​so they came to your door."

The two turned around and quickly fell silent.

He looked at the owner of the drugstore with some fear.

This is the boss's informant and an old acquaintance who had colluded with the pirates many years ago.

"Boss, please have mercy on us. We two brothers just go to the street every now and then to buy some traps... We are not stealing or robbing people's things, so how can it be a problem for the government?"

One of them quickly opened his mouth to defend himself.

They haven't enjoyed their good days for a few days yet and don't want to die. At least, they have to spend some of the money they have.

"Since the government didn't start its investigation from the trap, it means that those idiots in the government haven't yet suspected the trap."

"You guys, don't go out on the streets these days... Let someone else come instead."

The shopkeeper put down the prescription in his hand, stroked his beard, and stared at the two big men squatting on the ground. The medicine cabinet was a bit small, but it was enough for two people.

"As for Gousheng, how about... you just send your wife back to Shanghe Village and write her a divorce letter?"

"Anyway, there's no need to bring along a burden in these good days from now on."

Listen to the shopkeeper's words.

Gousheng's expression changed, and there was a hint of reluctance on his dark face, but when he thought about this matter, what would happen if the government continued to investigate it?

By then, the whole family would be in trouble, so it would be better to divorce her right now and let A Mei go home to sell tofu.

In the future, I can sneak back to find them.

.........

Noon, in front of the tea stall.

Two detectives armed with swords dipped their brushes in ink and squinted their eyes as they listened to the stories told by the villagers of Shanghe Village.

He nodded and scribbled.

Zhao Changlin, standing at the door, watched all this coldly, with the ink-colored scabbard tucked into his waist.

"Your Majesty, two days have passed... Apart from these scattered and trivial news, the villagers are also talking about the same things. Should we continue to investigate?"

Bending over, the shadow guard had countless pieces of writing behind him. However, apart from some trivial matters about Ah Mei, the tofu seller, the villagers of Shanghe Village could not say anything else.

"Go on, and there can be no delay."

"Three days have passed since the incident. It's time for these rats who have been hiding in the background and dared not say a word to show up."

Zhao Changlin pieced together all the important information and had a rough idea.

Ah Mei, who sold tofu, did not leave Shanghe Village voluntarily. Instead, she left in a hurry because her husband got into "trouble" and had to sell her property and land.

What the villagers were hesitant to say was probably what Gousheng had done outside.

They also knew that once the government conducted a thorough investigation, it would not only involve Ah Mei, the tofu seller, but the entire Shanghe Village would be turned upside down.

At this moment, in front of the tea stall outside the door, an old man fell to his knees with a thud. His knees were shaking and his hands were grasping the mud. He was scared to death.

"Sir... Sir... Please don't take me to the government office... Please don't take me to the government office!"

"As long as the adults want to know...old man, I will definitely...definitely confess everything!"

He had been hiding at home for a few days, thinking that with hundreds of households in Shanghe Village, he could get away with it. But this morning, a neighbor came running to him and said that the people from the yamen had already called out the names, and if anyone missed the call, they would all be taken back to jail the next day.

The broken house was forcibly inspected to see if the person with evil intentions had anything hidden.

The old man had been hiding something in his heart, and now, frightened by his neighbor, he naturally ran away in a panic, leaning on his crutches, to find the two sword-wielding constables sitting in front of the tea stall.
