Chapter Forty-Six: It's Time to Fight Back [Don't Raise It]
Wei Yi was going to go to the county government with Du Yujiang.
But as soon as he went out, he saw that his two nurses had returned, waiting at the door of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion.
The two told Wei Yi the news they heard when they went to the county office, and also said that Guo Pixiu would help.
"How did Guo Gongzi know?" Wei Yi was a little surprised.
"That...... We just met the young gang leader at the gate of the county government, and he asked us what we were going to do, and we told us the truth. ”
"Yes, our young helper is also angry that Wanjia is bullying people like this, so he decided to help, his uncle is the county government master, so he can speak!"
Wei Yi nodded, he naturally knew that the two of them had only told half the truth.
It is estimated that they went to Guo Pixiu for help.
"Okay, I'll come to thank Guo Gongzi in person when I go back!" Wei Yi said with a smile.
"Don't be so polite, let's help the master say it, your business is his business!"
"Yes, yes, friends should be stuck in both sides."
Listening to the words of the two nurses, Wei Yi smiled and nodded slightly.
But even with Guo Pixiu's help, he still decided to go to the county government with Du Yujiang.
If more people go over to make a point, then Zheng Cong will also understand.
This case is not something he can judge however he wants.
And Wei Yi also wanted to go to see Meng Shuilian in prison.
……
In the county jail, Meng Shuilian, who was taken into custody pending trial, sat on the straw mat of the cell with her knees crossed.
There was an indissoluble sadness on his face.
But at this moment, a sinister laugh sounded, and the figure of Na Wan Zihe appeared at the door of the cell.
"Shopkeeper Meng, we're meeting again!"
Meng Shuilian frowned, but ignored the Wanzi River.
"Don't speak? Okay, then I'll tell you! You know what my Wan family wants, give me the recipe for making Lansheng wine, and I guarantee that your Meng family is safe and sound. Wan Zihe said with a sneer.
Meng Shuilian was still silent, she really didn't want to say a word to Wan Zihe.
"Okay, if you ignore me, then I'll go to your father to talk, he should know better than you about the current situation of the Meng family!"
"Don't!" Meng Shuilian snorted, her father was already seriously ill and bedridden, and his condition was getting worse every day.
If I had learned about today's events, I would have survived.
"Finally willing to speak!" Wan Zihe sneered.
"Only my father knows the recipe for winemaking, he is seriously ill now, if you try to stimulate him, he will definitely be in a hurry, then you will never know the recipe of Lansheng wine in your life!" Meng Shuilian said word by word.
"Don't lie to me!" Wan Zihe frowned.
"The Meng family's Lansheng liquor brewing recipe is passed on to men but not to women, if you don't believe it, you can inquire." Meng Shuilian said again.
Wan Zihe's complexion changed, and he thought about it with a calm face.
Meng Shuilian said again: "If you really want the recipe for Lansheng wine, you can only talk to my father in person after I go out, and now that there is such a big thing in my Meng family, my father will definitely promise me to hand over the recipe, but you have to fulfill your promise, if you get the recipe, you will ensure that Xiangmanlou can continue to operate." ”
"Okay, deal!" The corners of Wan Zihe's mouth hooked up a smug smile.
He didn't expect Meng Shuilian to be so obedient, and sure enough, Meng Deyuan's old immortal was the weakness of this Meng Shuilian.
As long as you get the winemaker, this Meng Shuilian will fall into your hands sooner or later.
……
Wei Yi and Du Yujiang came to the county government and met Zheng Cong.
Wei Yi also presented two hundred taels of silver tickets as a meeting gift.
Although he despises this kind of bribery, the world is like this, and he can only adapt to it.
Unless one day you have the ability to change the world.
Du Yujiang chatted with Zheng Cong, seemingly saying something unrelated.
But every sentence is hinting that Zheng Cong should not forget that the Meng family used to be a big family in Qingzhou City.
Even if the family is in the middle of the road, it still has a lot of prestige.
Meng Deyuan is a well-known benevolent person, and there are many people who have benefited from him.
So there will be a lot of people paying attention to this case.
If you judge indiscriminately, I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public, and you may even get yourself into trouble.
And Du Yujiang even mentioned that the prefect Li also likes the roast chicken in Xiangmanlou.
A few days ago, he specially sent a fragrant roast chicken to Master Li.
That Zheng Cong is also a smart person, so he naturally knows Du Yujiang's intentions and understands the truth.
He is not stupid, so naturally he will not be a gunman for Wanjia.
He is an official, and no matter how rich the family is, it is just a people.
He is also measured in taking money to do things, and he naturally will not do things that may harm his own interests.
Therefore, he also revealed in and out of his words that he would enforce the law impartially and seek truth from facts.
It also mentioned the preliminary investigation results at present, which can basically be locked as the responsibility of the cook.
Subsequently, Zheng Cong also agreed to let Wei Yi go to see Meng Shuilian in prison.
Wei Yi followed the officials to the cell where Meng Shuilian was held.
saw her look solemn, standing in prison stunned.
"Shopkeeper Meng!" Wei Yi called softly.
Hearing that familiar and gentle voice, Meng Shuilian suddenly felt a warm current in her heart.
immediately looked up, but when he saw Wei Yi's figure appearing here, he couldn't help but be surprised and happy.
"Wei Gongzi, you, why are you here?" Seeing Wei Yi, Meng Shuilian felt that the cell no longer seemed to be so cold and dim.
It was as if the sun was shining in, dispelling the gloom in front of her.
She walked quickly to the door of the cell, lying between the railings, looking at Wei Yi outside, feeling extremely warm in her heart.
"They didn't embarrass you, did they?" Wei Yi asked, he took a closer look at Meng Shuilian's appearance, it was no different from when he saw it before.
"No, they just questioned me, they didn't embarrass me." Meng Shuilian said.
"Well, that's good—this time it's going to be another family, right?"
"yes, who else but their family could be so despicable!"
"I just learned it not long ago, it's really despicable......," Wei Yi said about the ironsmith shop.
"This is the usual measurement of Wanjia, my Meng family's wine shop was forced to close by them like this!"
"Can you tell me about your family and Wanjia?" Although Wei Yi has heard of it, after all, many of his hearsay is inaccurate.
"Yes, it's not a secret......
Meng Shuilian gave Wei Yi a rough description of how their Meng family rose in Qingzhou City with Lansheng wine back then.
A number of restaurants and liquor stores were quickly opened.
How was it used by the Wan family to use all kinds of tricks to suppress it together with multiple guilds, and colluded with the government.
forced the Meng family to close a number of restaurants and liquor stores.
In the end, only this one Xiangmanlou remained, and it also fell from the main store to the foot shop, surviving for a long time.
There is no longer the right to make wine, and it can only sell the wine of 10,000 families.
"But Wanjia's real purpose is actually to get the recipe for Lansheng liquor, not long ago Wan Zihe also came here and forced me to hand over the recipe, and I made an excuse to deceive him. This recipe for Lansheng wine, even if I die, I won't let them get it! Meng Shuilian gritted her teeth and said.
"Don't worry, you won't die, damn it, they've been bullied so much, it's time for us to fight back.
The restaurant is gone, we can reopen it again, the more Wanjia wants to get something, the more we let him lose! Wei Yi's eyes were scorching, and he said sonorously.
"Really, really?" Meng Shuilian looked at Wei Yi longingly, she didn't want to resist, she didn't want to take revenge.
But she didn't have confidence in her heart, after all, Wanjia was like a mountain, which made her daunting.
"Of course, think about how difficult our Wei family's situation was in the past, isn't it now that we have seen the light of day.
Believe me, I will have a way, you and I will join forces, in the future, Xiangmanlou will definitely return to the main street and become the main store, and Lansheng wine will definitely return to the wine table! Wei Yi's gaze was extremely firm and confident.
With his cooking skills, it was easy to help Xiangmanlou rise again.
What's more, there is still a system in place.
Go back and unlock a wine-making skill liver and liver, this liquor store in Qingzhou City, and change his surname to Wei in the future.
And if you can become a five-grade swordsmith.
If the ten thousand families want to be unfavorable to themselves, they have to weigh it.
"Well, I believe you!" Meng Shuilian nodded heavily.
She could feel the fiery energy in Wei Yi's body from Wei Yi's gaze.
It seems that you can break through all obstacles and move forward bravely.
That power seemed to drive her as well, making her suddenly feel a sense of blood surging.
When oppressed, rebel.
Even if you fail, at least you will die well, and it will be better than swallowing your anger for the rest of your life.
And she really believes in Wei Yi in her heart, unconditionally.
"Okay, I'll wronged you first tonight, after Ming Tian's trial, we'll think about it in the long run!"
