Chapter 251 Poisoning
Meng Hetang sighed again after he finished speaking: "But this is also my fault. I knew that you went to see Elder Wu that day, and I thought that you just didn't reach an agreement. I never thought that Elder Wu was so petty. I heard from Brother Chang that if he hadn't rushed there in time, you would have all died."
Jiang Xiaohe nodded: "Thanks to him, is he still in the county? His injuries have improved over the past few days."
"He is injured?" Meng Hetang said in surprise.
Jiang Xiaohe nodded: "Didn't he come to find you?"
Meng Hetang slammed the table and said, "I was just thinking about helping you clean up the mess at the time, and I didn't notice that he was injured and he... Alas! He really didn't want to die."
Jiang Xiaohe heard something wrong: "Brother Meng, what do you mean by this? Why doesn't he want to live?"
Meng Hetang felt that he couldn't explain it to her in a few words, so he sighed and said, "Forget it, I can't explain it to you either. I saw that my sister brought a lot of people to the city today?"
Jiang Xiaohe nodded. She wanted to ask about Chang Wei, but Meng Hetang interrupted her: "Then you should secretly contact them about the decoration in the next two days. Don't go out or wander around the county at other times. If there is anything else, just let your shopkeeper come forward to solve it. Wait until the storm is over before talking about it."
"Did something happen?"
"What could possibly happen? It's not because you killed Old Wu. Now that Old Wu is missing, the people in the Chamber of Commerce are looking for him everywhere. Fortunately, Old Wu is narrow-minded, but he doesn't want others to know that he is narrow-minded, so he attacked you in secret. So now people outside don't know that he disappeared when he went to look for you. Therefore, you should hide for a while. As long as they don't find you, this matter will be forgotten over time."
Jiang Xiaohe finally let go of her worries and nodded slightly: "Thank you, Brother Meng."
Meng Hetang waved his hand and said, "You already call me big brother, so there's no need to say thank you. Now we are like grasshoppers tied to the same rope, and your business is my business."
When sending Jiang Xiaohe away, Meng Hetang called her again: "Sister, I have something to say, but I don't know whether I should say it or not."
Jiang Xiaohe turned around and looked at him: "Brother Meng, if you have anything to say, just say it."
"Chang Wei is really devoted to me. To be honest, I have never seen him do this to other women. In fact, he is not a bad person. He just knows that he lives on the edge of a knife, so he wants to leave an offspring for himself. In the past, I saw him obsessed with having a child, but now that he has met me, he is only obsessed with me. You have become a widow at such a young age. Do you really want to waste your years and be a widow for your deceased husband for the rest of your life?"
Jiang Xiaohe pursed her lips and said nothing.
Meng Hetang sighed: "Life is short, enjoy it while you can, don't waste the good time."
Then he sent Jiang Xiaohe to the carriage.
In the carriage, Jiang Xiaohe thought about what Meng Hetang had just said, and her mind was in a mess.
After completing the decoration of the restaurant in the next few days, Jiang Xiaohe asked Zhang Qingshan to drive the carriage directly back to the village.
But before returning to the village, she still thought about going to Longshui Town to see if Wang Hong was managing the shop well.
When we arrived at Longshui Town, it was already dark.
As soon as Jiang Xiaohe got off the car, she saw a vague figure at the back of the alley, doing something sneaky.
I immediately became alert.
He called Zhang Qingshan and asked him to follow secretly and take a look.
After a while, Zhang Qingshan ran back and said to Jiang Xiaohe, "Madam, I saw that man climbed into the backyard of our shop."
Jiang Xiaohe narrowed her eyes slightly and quickly walked into the shop.
When Wang Hong saw her, she hurried over to say hello, but Jiang Xiaohe went straight to the backyard.
As soon as she arrived at the backyard, she saw a black figure taking out a bag of something from his arms and preparing to pour it into the only well in their backyard. She immediately yelled, "What are you doing!"
The man was startled and the things in his hand fell to the ground. Zhang Qingshan rushed up and grabbed his feet just as he was about to climb over the wall: "Get down here!"
Wang Hong rushed over and when he saw the medicine bag on the ground, he was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. Then he looked at the man climbing the wall, picked up the stick on the ground, and hit the man with all his might. The man fell down from the wall in pain.
Zhang Qingshan, with a backhand, put his hands behind his back, and kicked him again, making him kneel on the ground. Wang Hong stepped forward and pulled off the cloth on his face, and her eyes widened immediately: "Wang Shuisheng, it's you!"
Jiang Xiaohe looked at Wang Shuisheng kneeling on the ground, and then she remembered that this was the man who had lost money in gambling and wanted to blackmail her uncle for money.
"Wang Shuisheng, why do you want to hurt me like this!"
Wang Shuisheng stared at him with a ferocious look on his face: "I hurt you? It was obviously you who hurt me!"
"What have I done to you? You and your mother were playing a trick on us and trying to extort money from us. We just exposed your lies!"
"No, it's you who harmed me. If your family had obediently taken the silver to compensate our family, I wouldn't be like this now. My father kicked me out and my leg was broken!" After saying that, he raised his other hand: "Look at my hand!"
I saw that there were only two fingers on the hand.
"This is all your fault! It's all your fault!"
Wang Hong looked at his hand in shock, speechless for a moment.
Jiang Xiaohe stood up and said, "If you do too much evil, you will eventually perish! The way you are now is not caused by others, but you deserve it!"
Wang Shuisheng narrowed his eyes and looked at Jiang Xiaohe: "It's you, you bitch! I was about to get the money, if it weren't for you, I would still be living a good life now!"
"With your stubborn attitude, you will never live a good life. Also, who sent you here today?"
In the first half of the sentence, Wang Shuisheng glared at Jiang Xiaohe. In the second half of the sentence, he suddenly panicked: "I... I came here by myself, no... no one..."
"Heh..." Jiang Xiaohe chuckled: "You are so stupid, I don't know what the person who sent you was thinking!"
Wang Shuisheng shouted: "I came here on my own, I hate you!"
"It's okay if you don't tell me now. I'll tell you when we get to the yamen! Qingshan, send him to the yamen and tell the head of the pavilion what happened!"
Zhang Qingshan: "Yes! Madam!"
When Wang Shuisheng heard that he had to go to the yamen, there was obvious fear in his eyes, but he still didn't say anything.
Wang Hong took the medicine bag and said, "Cousin, I'll go with him."
