Chapter 214: With whom has your family had a conflict?
Meng Hetang invited Jiang Xiaohe and Wang Qiuxia into the carriage.
Wang Qiuxia was a little nervous. After all, it was her first time riding in a carriage, and she didn't know where to put her hands and feet. Although it was summer, it had rained for so long today that she felt a little cold and sneezed immediately.
Just as Jiang Xiaohe was about to speak, Wang Qiuxia waved her hand and said, "Mom, it's fine. It just rained a little."
"Then when you get back, go get some medicine from Doctor Niu."
Wang Qiuxia nodded.
It was time for Meng Hetang to speak up: "Sister, you and your aunt don't have to go to the government office. Chang Wei and I will go there and make sure that this matter is handled beautifully for you."
"Thank you both very much."
Meng Hetang waved his hand.
Jiang Xiaohe said again: "Mom, do you think the figure and features of the person who ran away are somewhat familiar?"
When she said this, Wang Qiuxia nodded repeatedly: "Look at his voice, I must have heard it somewhere before, but I just can't remember where it is at the moment."
Chang Wei and Meng Hetang looked at each other, and Meng Hetang said, "Sister, do you mean that the person who ran away knew you?"
Jiang Xiaohe nodded slightly: "I always feel like I've seen this man somewhere, but he was covered with a cloth, so I couldn't remember where for a moment."
Meng Hetang said quickly: "That's fine. Since he's someone you know, he's either from your village or someone you've done business with. With this clue, we can definitely catch this bad guy!"
Jiang Xiaohe nodded.
When they returned to the shop, it was already past noon and there were no customers dining at the tables. Jiang Xiaohe took Wang Qiuxia to the room where she usually lived in the backyard, found a set of clothes and asked Wang Qiuxia to change into them.
"Mom, I'll go boil some water so you can wash up."
Wang Qiuxia quickly said no, "I'm a farmer, I'm not that delicate." Just as she finished speaking, she heard a sound from her stomach.
He said somewhat awkwardly: "I feel even hungrier now."
Jiang Xiaohe couldn't help but smile: "Then I'll go get some food for mom."
Chen Xiuquan quickly wiped the table to show concern for her sister-in-law.
Wang Qiuxia told her what happened at that time: "I had just bought incense, candles, money and paper and came out of the shop. A little beggar came and said someone was looking for me and asked me to go to the Yongfu Restaurant. But as soon as the little beggar took me into the restaurant, several people rushed out and tied me up. Then I didn't know anything and woke up in the City God Temple."
Jiang Xiaohe came in with food and happened to hear this: "That's right, the Yongfu Restaurant you mentioned is owned by Boss He. I think they kidnapped you together with those bad guys. One is to steal your money, and the other is to make me hand over the recipe."
After hearing this, Chen Xiuqun felt terrified: "Fortunately you are okay. You don't know that Xiaohe has been looking for you in the town, and she is very worried."
After hearing what she said, Wang Qiuxia looked up at Jiang Xiaohe, feeling relieved: "Xiaohe, you have worked really hard today."
Jiang Xiaohe shook her head slightly: "Fortunately, you are okay, mother, otherwise I don't know how to explain to father. Come on, eat first, and you will feel warmer after eating."
While eating, Wang Qiuxia asked Jiang Xiaohe how much money she had given to the bad guy today.
Jiang Xiaohe just said with concern: "No matter how much money we have, it is not as important as you, mother. If we lose the money, we can earn it again. If you lose it, it will be me, father, and Chuan'er who will die of grief."
Wang Qiuxia felt so moved and touched by these words.
"Don't worry, mother is fine. I will see Chuan'er get married and have children in the future."
Jiang Xiaohe picked up a piece of meat for her: "That's right, you should eat more, you must be very hungry."
Wang Qiuxia nodded, and Chen Xiuqun watched from the side, feeling happy: "Then you two can eat, and I will go and get busy."
After dinner, someone from the government office came and said that they wanted Wang Qiuxia to identify something.
Jiang Xiaohe accompanied her to the yamen.
The people who kidnapped them and Boss He were kneeling in the hall. Boss He's forehead was covered with sweat.
The two of them also knelt down towards Xu Changan.
Xu Changan pointed at the object in the yamen runner's hand and asked Wang Qiuxia: "Is this yours?"
Wang Qiuxia took a look and found that it was the cloth that she and Jiang Xiaohe bought in the morning and the incense, candles, money and paper she bought.
"My Lord, this is exactly what I own."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Changan slammed the table and said, "He Yongfu, what else do you have to say now? Wang Qiuxia was kidnapped, and her things were found in your shop!"
He Yongfu was so terrified that he didn't dare to speak at all.
Xu Changan said sternly: "You coveted Jiang Xiaohe's prosperous business and actually hired kidnappers to force her to write down a recipe!"
He Yongfu knocked his head to the ground: "My Lord, my Lord, I was confused for a moment!"
"Drag him away and close his restaurant. Such a person is not worthy of doing business in our town. Drive him and his family out of our town!"
Jiang Xiaohe kowtowed to him quickly: "My Lord, please understand."
Xu Changan looked at the two of them and said, "You two should get up. You are all victims in this matter."
Jiang Xiaohe helped Wang Qiuxia stand up. Xu Changan looked at the man kneeling on the ground, slammed the table and said sternly: "Wang Bailiang, why don't you confess the truth now? Who else committed the crime with you?"
Wang Bailiang immediately replied with tears in his eyes: "Sir, I really don't know who he is. My brother and I were drinking wine at a stall at the entrance of the town. Since we had no spare money, we were thinking about where to make some money. Unexpectedly, he suddenly came and said he wanted to join us. He also said that there was a business family in the town. There was no man in the family, but they were very rich. That's why we became interested..."
"If that's the case, then when did you get in touch with He Yongfu?"
When it comes to this, Wang Bailiang said quickly: "The man wanted to join us, so we asked him to treat us to a meal to see his sincerity. Then we went to Yongfu Restaurant. Who would have thought that He Yongfu heard the words "No. 1 Pot in the World" and secretly followed me, asking me to help him with another thing..."
"You know his name, right?"
"As soon as he joined us, he told us to just call him Lao San. We all have a sense of brotherhood in the underworld, so we didn't care about so many things..." After saying that, he immediately remembered: "Oh, but there is a piece of news. He said that he and the proprietress of Tianxia Diyi Guo are from the same village. He said that she had some grievances with him in the village, so he wanted to take revenge on her and make a little money at the same time." He lowered his head and spoke the last sentence in a very low voice.
This is exactly what Jiang Xiaohe thought.
Xu Changan looked at Jiang Xiaohe and said, "Think carefully, who in the village has your family had a feud with?"
