The thugs: Although this reaction was pretty much what they expected, they were still very angry. Why?

Although he was a little uneasy, he still had to do the work after receiving the money. When the thugs raised their sticks and stepped forward, they saw red powder flying in front of their eyes, and then their eyes hurt as if they had been gouged.

"Ah!! What the hell!"

Xiaoxiao had enough chili powder, so she planned to take advantage of them while they were blind, beat them with a broom on the wall, and then hide in the space. Just as she was about to take action, she saw several flower pots hitting the thugs' heads with precision. One fainted and the other fainted.

She didn't see the pebbles that hit the backs of these people's heads along with the sound of the flower pots breaking, but she saw the government officials rushing in from the alley.

"What's going on? Okay, Rattou, who are you again? Come back to the Yamen with us!"

After twisting the thugs backhand, the yamen officer looked at the troublemaker and said, "Huh? Miss Ning?"

Xiaoxiao took a closer look, oh, it was the government servant who came to her house for dinner with Master Shen.

But how did they come here on patrol so coincidentally?

Yamen Ding was still frightened: "Thankfully, we just met a little beggar who said that evil people robbed him of the coins he begged for and ran here." Although the evil people were not caught, Miss Ning was saved.

Xiaoxiao was surprised: What a coincidence? Then she is very lucky.

The leprechauns had done a lot of stealing in the county town. After returning to the county government office, they were about to head towards Dalao on a familiar road. Xiaoxiao stopped the government servant and said, "If they say they are robbing wealth, Brother Ding, don't believe it."

Ding Yamen expressed his willingness to hear the details, and Xiaoxiao smacked his lips, saying that she was the best at complaining.

"They were bribed by a man named Tong Bin to cause trouble for me. From what I heard, they wanted to break one of my legs today."

Ding Yamen looked serious: "You are so brave to commit a murder in broad daylight on the street! We will definitely find out about this matter and give justice to Miss Ning. But is there anything between Tong Bin and Miss Ning?"

Xiaoxiao blinked her eyes: "I am a good citizen who will definitely not offend anyone, but I guess it has something to do with my buying a shop."

"What store should I buy?"

"Who wants to hit you?"

One confused and one angry, two voices sounded at the same time. Xiaoxiao followed the sound and stared at Mrs. Shen and her son with big eyes.

"Xiaoxiao, I thought you would come, but I never thought you would come like this."

Xiaoxiao blinked: "To tell you the truth, I was quite surprised myself."

Shen Tianci strode forward to look at her carefully, and then let out a long breath: "Fortunately, you're fine. What bastard dares to bully my young master's friends?"

It is the job of the county magistrate to interrogate prisoners. After asking about the basic situation, Xiaoxiao was taken to Shen's house to rest and take a look at the milk that Mrs. Shen had just bought for her.

While waiting, Xiaoxiao recalled what happened in the alley just now.

The strange appearance of the flower pots was that even though they were originally placed on the second floor, there was no one around and there was no wind at that time. How did they fall down and hit the man and the others so coincidentally?

[Master, apart from you and the thugs, another person appeared just now, but he disappeared when the government officials came. Unfortunately, I can only sense movement within a three-meter radius, and I don’t know where he went. 】

Xiaoxiao shook his head: [Thanks to you, I was able to find out in advance and have time to prepare chili powder. 】

It seems that I should prepare more of this stuff so that I can be prepared.

[By the way, if you upgrade again, can your perception range be increased? 】

Space answered: [Yes! The level four sensing radius is four meters! 】

After all, it was equipped with a function only for searching for ingredients. It was an unexpected surprise that it could help her check the surrounding situation, and Xiaoxiao was satisfied enough.

After a while, Mrs. Shen sent Shen Tianci away and asked a servant to come over with milk.

"These are all bought from herdsmen in the southern grasslands. You should first see if they are suitable for use."

Xiaoxiao took a wooden spoon and shook it in the bucket. It was clean and slightly smelly.

Mrs. Shen also used milk at home for a while, but she always used it for bathing. Later, she disliked the unpleasant smell, so she changed it to flower petal bath, and the milk was no longer used.

Of course, Xiaoxiao is not that extravagant yet. She wants milk to make cakes.

But after listening to her words, Mrs. Shen was confused: "Don't the pastries made with this stuff have a fishy smell?"

Xiaoxiao shook his head: "You will know later when you try it."

Mrs. Shen began to look forward to it again: "When?"

Xiaoxiao said: "May 12th is my eldest brother's birthday. Madam, do you have time to show me your face?"

She made an addition that Mrs. Shen couldn't refuse: "I cook."

Mrs. Shen clapped her hands, not forgetting to bring along her family members: "My husband happened to be on holiday that day."

Xiaoxiao followed the good example and said, "If the magistrate is free, please come over for a casual meal. I have something I want my wife to try that day."

After the dinner, Mrs. Shen brought up the matter of the shop again. Xiaoxiao told her all her guesses, which made Mrs. Shen very angry: "In the name of 'friend', all he did was deceit. It's so shameless!"

The first few people had already been recruited, but they only knew that Tong Bin paid to teach Xiaoxiao a lesson, and they didn't know the other details.

Xiaoxiao didn't care about what happened after that. She had a specialization in the art industry, so she just had to believe in the ability of the county magistrate. When she left the county government office, she happened to pass by Tong Bin who was summoned. The latter had an expression on his face at first He glared at her fiercely, but turned into shock when he saw Shen Tianci coming out to see off the guests, as if she didn't understand why this village girl met the county magistrate.

The county government's killing stick has a natural deterrent effect on people with evil intentions, and with the presence of witnesses and physical evidence, there is no way to hide what Tong Bin did. Only today did he realize that the new county magistrate was different from the previous one.

There was no need for torture, and Tong Bin honestly confessed that he was the one who prevented Shopkeeper Qian from selling his shop, and that he deliberately misled Shopkeeper Qian from opening a bookstore. He even found the person who broke Shopkeeper Qian's leg when he caused trouble.

Someone had come to him a long time ago and offered to buy the shopkeeper's shop, even giving him the down payment.

Magistrate Shen clapped the gavel majestically: "Then you can go through the formal process and recommend them to them."

Tong Bin lay on the ground shivering: "I have already lost all the deposit. I'm afraid Qian will sell the shop to someone else, and I still haven't paid the deposit."

So he deliberately made others think that Shopkeeper Qian was unlucky and that anyone who bought his shop would suffer. He also added messy things to the wound medicine to prevent him from recovering. He even tampered with Shopkeeper Qian's wife's cold medicine...

He just wants money to make the shopkeeper anxious, so he sells the shop to him quickly and cheaply. In this way, he doesn't have to pay back the deposit and can still make a fortune from it. You know, the price offered by the person who wants to buy the shop is enough. Two hundred and eighty taels!

He owed a large sum of money to the gambling house, and was about to pack up and leave Xijiang County after making money from shopkeeper Qian, and start over in a different place. The deeds of his family's house and land had been quietly sold.

Magistrate Shen, who had smoothed over the whole matter, sneered: "You made a good plan, but have you ever thought about what would happen to Qian Qian and his wife because of your misuse of medicine?"
