Chapter 128 The Evil is Punished
Upon hearing this, County Magistrate Li frowned:
"Go and bring Manager Zhang from Ge's Paper Shop here. A paper merchant wants to monopolize the business in Ping'an Town? How dare you! You really don't take me, the county magistrate, seriously!"
After receiving the order, Constable Huang took a team of people to arrest Manager Zhang. They soon found Manager Zhang in the Ge's Paper Shop and brought him to the yamen without saying a word.
Manager Zhang was captured with a confused look on his face. When he arrived at the government office and saw Niu Da and Niu Er kneeling on the ground, he immediately knew what had happened.
He took a step forward and knelt down, not forgetting to glare at Niu Da and Niu Er, two useless guys.
Magistrate Li glanced at Manager Zhang who was kneeling below and said slowly:
"Why did you assign Niu Da and Niu Er to kidnap people on the street?"
After hearing this, Manager Zhang waved his hands:
"Sir, I didn't do that. You can't listen to the one-sided words of Niu Da and Niu Er. I'm not familiar with them. I just met them once in the tavern that day. You know that we drinkers like to chat with others. I just talked to them for a while that day and never met them again. The owner of the tavern can testify for me!"
After hearing this, Magistrate Li frowned and looked at Niu Da and Niu Er and asked:
"Is this possible?"
Niu Da nodded honestly.
Magistrate Li continued to ask:
"Do you remember what you talked about that day?"
Just as Niu Da was about to speak, Niu Er quietly retorted, and then Niu Er replied:
"We didn't talk about anything. We were just drunk and talking nonsense that day. We can't remember exactly what we talked about. It's been too long and we were all just talking nonsense while drunk, so..."
Before Niu Er finished speaking, Manager Sun interrupted him and said:
"You can't remember clearly, but I remember it clearly. You guys were shouting in the tavern that day that you would not let that bitch Jiang Yuwei go, and that you would take revenge one day. The owner of the tavern can also testify to these words. You made quite a commotion that day."
Niu Er was furious when he heard this, and pointed at Zhang Guanshi's nose and said:
"We were just drunk and talking nonsense. Who would take it seriously? But you insisted on telling us that Jiang Yuwei was our common enemy and that you wanted to destroy her family. You also said that you would give us money after you succeeded!"
After hearing this, Magistrate Li slammed the gavel and shouted:
"You are so good, Niu Er, you deliberately concealed the truth. Didn't you say that it was Manager Sun who forced you two brothers to do this?"
After hearing this, Manager Sun stood up immediately:
"Okay, Niu Da Niu Er, I really didn't expect you to be such people. You failed to harm others and now you want me to take the blame for you. No way! I haven't paid you a penny! County Magistrate, you can check it out. I have nothing to do with this matter. They did it for revenge, not because they were forced by me. You must be careful!"
Magistrate Li frowned upon seeing this and shouted:
"Kneel down and stop making noise!"
Seeing this, Manager Sun had no choice but to kneel down silently, and did not forget to turn around and glare at Niu Er fiercely.
Jiang Yuwei stepped forward and saluted:
"My Lord, I believe that all three of them are responsible for this matter. They all have a grudge against me, but I thought that after the magistrate found them guilty, they would correct their mistakes. But they are still looking for revenge. I am really worried about them. Please help me, my Lord!"
The magistrate looked at Steward Sun:
"Are you sure you didn't instruct them to commit the crime? Then why did they ask Jiang not to sell paper in Ping'an Town?"
After hearing this, Manager Sun hurriedly said:
"It wasn't me who ordered this, sir. You can't let them put the blame on me. How would I know why they said this to Jiang Yuwei? Maybe they wanted to put the blame on me on purpose!"
Magistrate Li frowned and slammed the gavel:
"Come here, lock up Niu Da and Niu Er, because they refused to change despite repeated admonitions, threatened others with their words, and kidnapped people in the street! Their crimes are even more serious, and they will not be released from prison for three years! As for Steward Sun, he will be kept on file for observation. If he behaves inappropriately again, he will be thrown into prison immediately!"
Jiang Yuwei knew that this Manager Sun was not someone to be trifled with. After all, he had the support of Ge's Paper Mill. Perhaps he had already thought of a way out before doing this. If she couldn't put him in jail today, it would be good to give him a warning. After all, he was just a manager. Even if she arrested a hundred managers, it would be useless if Mr. Ge didn't let her paper mill go. To kill a snake, you have to hit it at its weakest point. But she hadn't caught Mr. Ge's weak point yet, so she could only wait.
When Manager Sun saw that he didn't have to go to jail, he happily stood up and saluted to County Magistrate Li. Then he turned around and glanced at Jiang Yuwei with disdain. Ning Huaizhi, who was standing next to him, was so angry that he pinched the armrest of the wheelchair with his fingers. His fingertips turned white due to excessive force.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei smiled and stepped forward, patted Ning Huaizhi's hand and said lightly:
"Don't worry, Huaizhi, there are still many days to come."
Ning Huaizhi heard Jiang Yuwei's words and slowly calmed down. He looked up at Jiang Yuwei and said guiltily:
"Yuwei, it's all my fault. I failed to protect you and your daughter. I..."
Jiang Yuwei smiled and put her finger on Ning Huaizhi's lips:
"I don't allow you to say that. Since today's matter has been resolved, let's go to Huichun Hall together while we still have time to let Doctor Lin take a look at your leg. If possible, we will start treating your leg in the next few days."
Jiang Yuwei went to the space yesterday and saw that the ginseng had been grown. Although Ning Huaizhi now uses spiritual spring water mixed with medicinal bath to soak his legs every day, she is still worried that it will not be good for his legs if it is delayed for a long time. It is better to do it today than to wait for another day. So she simply takes advantage of today's free time to take Ning Huaizhi to have a good look at his legs.
Ning Huai looked at Jiang Yuwei helplessly:
"Yuwei, we can't find the thousand-year-old ginseng that Doctor Lin wants, so let's not waste the money. It's not worth it for my crippled legs."
Jiang Yuwei scolded:
"I told you not to give up on yourself like this. Let's go to Huichun Hall."
Jiang Yuwei pushed Ning Huaizhi's wheelchair to the ox cart without saying a word. She first carried Ning Wan onto the ox cart, then helped Ning Huaizhi up, and then moved his wheelchair onto the ox cart.
At this time, Shopkeeper Xu also came out:
"Yuwei, is the child okay?"
Jiang Yuwei turned around and saw that it was Shopkeeper Xu and smiled at him:
"Thanks to you today, Shopkeeper Xu, I really don't know how to thank you. The child should have only suffered some minor injuries. I am going to take her to see a doctor for help."
Shopkeeper Xu smiled and nodded at Ning Huaizhi who was sitting on the ox cart, and then said to Jiang Yuwei:
"Okay, you take the child to see the doctor first. I wanted to invite your family to have a meal at Lianxianglou to thank you for teaching me the membership system. Now you have something important to do, so we will get together next time. Go and get busy."
Jiang Yuwei smiled and got on the ox cart:
"There will be plenty of opportunities after dinner. Shopkeeper Xu, you should go back to the restaurant and get busy. We will leave first and bring you a new recipe next time."
Shopkeeper Xu smiled and nodded repeatedly, waved to the family, then got on the carriage and headed for Lianxiang Tower.
