A tragic journey through ancient times, trying to make money

Chapter 214: Hot Pot Restaurant Incident 5

He said angrily: “Yueyue, don’t tell me, this Wu Yaozu is really not a human being, you can find out a lot about his reputation by asking around on the street.

Previously, the Fuyuan Restaurant and the Fugui Restaurant were opened by their family. The family said that they relied on the relationship with the county magistrate's wife's family, but in fact, it was the family of the county magistrate's concubine, and the concubine was very much liked by the county magistrate.

So the Wu family used their relationship with the county magistrate to bully the people in the city. I also found out that the Wu family did not dare to touch those rich and powerful families.

He only bullied merchants from other places who had no connections with him. If he saw a merchant doing good business, he would either buy the merchant's property at a low price. If the merchant refused to sell, he would take the opportunity to frame the merchant and then bring up the magistrate's reputation.

Outsiders dare not mess with him, so they can only sell the shop at a low price, and this man is a drunkard, a whore and a gambler."

“It seems that Wu Yaozu had found out all about us in advance and knew that we were from other places, so he acted without any scruples.

Uncle Li, Master Xiao just came, and he will help us find out more. When Master Xiao comes tomorrow, we will discuss it and see how to solve this problem."

"Okay, just tell me if you have something to say. Although Uncle Li hasn't read much, he still has a lot of strength."

Zhang Yunyue smiled and said, "Okay, thank you Uncle Li for this period of time."

At night, Mo Wen reported the findings to his master.

"Sir, today at the hot pot restaurant, I heard that the Wu family wanted the hot pot restaurant and the barbecue restaurant, so they first sent a group of thugs to smash the hot pot restaurant.

Then Wu Yaozu came and said that he would buy the two shops at a price of one thousand taels for each shop, otherwise he would make a harsh statement and something would happen to the hot pot restaurant next.

Then Wu Yaozu saw that Miss Zhang was pretty, so he said he wanted her to be his ninth concubine, and he would not touch the hot pot restaurant or the barbecue restaurant. "

Mo Wen became more and more angry as he spoke.

"Sir, I also found out that most of Wu Yaozu's concubines were taken by him by force, and some of them even caused deaths. In addition, many of the Wu family's shops in the prefectural city were also bought at low prices by using the county magistrate's name."

When Xiao Qi heard Mo Wen's reply that Wu Yaozu wanted to make Zhang Yunyue his ninth concubine, his eyes suddenly became sharp.

He said in a deep voice: "Mo Wen, go find the families of those women who were robbed and those who bought the shops at a low price, and ask them to go to the government office to beat the drum to complain the day after tomorrow. Don't implicate Miss Zhang and her shop in this matter."

"Yes, sir, I will definitely find all the witnesses and evidence before the day after tomorrow."

"Well, let's go."

The next day.

Xiao Qi led Mo Wen and Mo Qi, followed by two women and two men, into the lobby.

In addition to Zhang Yunyue and Li Da, Hu Cailing was also in the lobby.

"Mr. Xiao, you are here."

Xiao Qi said to Zhang Yunyue, pointing at the four people behind him: "Miss Zhang, let me introduce you. These four are the chefs who are here to learn how to make dim sum."

The four of them stepped forward to greet her: "Greetings, Miss Zhang."

Zhang Yunyue pointed at Hu Cailing who was standing nearby and said, "Hello, this is Hu Cailing. Next, you will learn how to make dim sum from her. Once you have learned how to make the dim sum she makes, I will teach you the rest."

"Yes, Miss Zhang."

"Cai Ling, take them downstairs and start learning how to make snacks."

"Yes, Boss." Then he said to the four people, "Come with me!"

Wait until the five people leave.

"Mr. Xiao, I wonder if you found out any news about Wu Yaozu yesterday?"

"Don't worry, Miss Zhang. I've already found out everything." Then he looked at Mo Wen and said, "Mo Wen, tell me."

Mo Wen responded respectfully, "Yes, sir."

"Miss Zhang, this is what happened. After receiving the young master's instructions yesterday, I went to inquire here. You should be able to find out about the bullying on the street, but I also got some other information."

Zhang Yunyue said, "Oh!" and said, "I wonder what else you have learned, Brother Mo Wen?"

Mo Wen recounted what he had investigated the day before, "This Wu Yaozu not only bullied the market, but also used his connections with the county magistrate to forcibly seize women. He has eight concubines in his backyard.

The families of the women whose girls were kidnapped went to the county government to sue him, but he was beaten with a stick by the county magistrate. The fathers of two of the women were beaten so badly that they died.

I have already sent people to find these two families, as well as the original owner who purchased the store at a low price. All witnesses and evidence will be brought tomorrow, and then we can go directly to the government office to beat the drum and appeal for justice.

Our Yunzhou prefect is an honest man and hates people like this the most. When the evidence is solid, he will not let the prefect and the Wu family go."

Zhang Yunyue saw that Mo Wen had done everything.

So he stood up, bowed to Xiao Qifu, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your help, Mr. Xiao."

Xiao Qi looked at Zhang Yunyue and smiled while shaking his head, comforting her: "Miss Zhang, there is no need to be so reserved. Anyone who finds such a person will help him as long as they are able. We must not let such poisonous insects harm the people of the prefecture city."

Zhang Yunyue: "Thank you, too, Brother Mo Wen."

Mo Wen smiled and said, "Hey, Miss Zhang, you are too polite. You and our young master are friends, and we ate so many delicious foods at your place. I didn't know how to return the favor before, so this time we can just treat it as a return gift of food.

By the way, Miss Zhang, you can go to the government office early tomorrow to watch the excitement."

Zhang Yun also smiled: "Okay, I'll go take a look tomorrow."

In fact, Mo Wen discovered that his son seemed to have a good impression of Miss Zhang ever since he saw her in the capital city, otherwise why would he come to Zhang's house so often to eat hotpot and barbecue.

This time, the Wu family's behavior towards Miss Zhang's hot pot restaurant obviously angered the young master.

Moreover, since it is so hard to get something done by the young master, he must make sure it is done perfectly.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

"Please, Lord, redress our injustice! Please, Lord, redress our injustice!"

"Please, Lord, save my daughter. My daughter was kidnapped by Wu Yaozu of the Wu family."

"Your Excellency the Prefect, we have a grievance to file."

"Your Excellency the Prefect, we have a grievance to file."

Passersby passing by the government office were very curious when they saw so many people complaining about their grievances.

"What's going on? Why are so many people complaining?"

"I heard that it was a lawsuit against the Wu family."

"Really? This Wu family is bullying the market and should have been dealt with long ago. Let's go and take a look and join in the fun."

As soon as Zhang Yunyue and Li Da finished their breakfast, they heard the son of housekeeper Liu come in and say that many people had knelt at the gate of the government office early in the morning to seek justice.

The two looked at each other.

"Uncle Li, let's go check it out after we finish breakfast."

Li Da smiled and said, "Well, the Wu family has gone too far. Otherwise, how could they have caused so much public outrage?"
