Transmigrating To Ancient Times With A Kitchen - Chapter 120

120 Reporting to the Authorities (2)

Wei Wusheng stood guard beside Jian Qingqing like a gatekeeper. The group of people looked at him angrily but did not dare to make a move.

The leader was anxious. Miss Liu had asked him to kill someone so that he could take the rest of the reward money. However, now that the people from the authorities were about to arrive, and this man in front of him was not to be trifled with, what should he do?

Should he just scam this Boss and run away without taking Miss Liu’s money?

A glimmer flashed in his eyes. He endured the pain in his hands and said, “How about this, Boss Jian, I won’t bother with you anymore. After all, my brother’s body has been damaged by eating at your place. Just pay us 100 taels of silver and this matter will be over.”

!!
Jian Qingqing will not let this slide so easily. She had yet to catch the culprit. She sneered and said, “Now it’s not about whether you bother with me or not, but whether I bother with you or not. What, you broke so many things in my shop and even injured someone. Aren’t you going to pay?”

That person did not expect that she would still dare to claim compensation. He was dumbfounded and only reacted after a while. He was about to scold her, but when he met Wei Wusheng’s gaze, he held it back and his face turned red.

In the end, he could only say in a low voice, “Boss Jian, it was my brother who ate something bad in your shop. That’s why we wanted to take revenge. No matter what, you should be the one to compensate us.”

Jian Qingqing snorted. “Then there’s nothing more to say. Let’s wait for the officials to come.”

Hearing that, the leader was a little anxious. If the officials came, he was not afraid. After all, Miss Liu would protect him. However, if he failed the mission, he would not be able to get the money. Thus, he had worked for nothing.

However, at this moment, he did not have any good ideas. He could only wait for time to pass.

In a short while, the officials arrived.

Ming Zhiyan was walking in front of them with a cold expression. An official behind him shouted, “All those who are not involved, back off!”

Although those who were watching the show were afraid of these officials, they still wanted to continue watching. Hence, only a few people left. The rest of them were afraid and could not help but stare at the scene.

Ming Zhiyan walked up to Jian Qingqing and asked with a mild expression, “Are you okay?”

Jian Qingqing shook her head. “I’m fine. It’s just that the shop was smashed to such a state and some of the employees were injured.”

Hearing that, Ming Zhiyan nodded and said, “Don’t worry. Leave it to me. I’ll handle it.”

After saying that, he turned to look at the group of people and waved his arm. “Take them away!”

The group of was dumbfounded. They struggled and said, “Hey! No, we are the ones suffering. Why are they arresting us!? I know! You are all in cahoots! Aiyo, how can I be so stubborn and seek compensation from powerful and influential people? There is no way I will get fair treatment! We commoners will always suffer in the end! Sigh! My life is really too bitter!”

That person was lying on the ground and making a racket. The officer could not hold him down for a moment.

Hearing these words, the surrounding crowd’s eyes instantly changed when they looked at Ming Zhiyan. Although they still did not dare to see it clearly, Jian Qingqing could feel the change in the atmosphere.

If this matter only concerned her, it would be fine. She did not care. However, now, that group of people had dragged Ming Zhiyan into the water. This was something Jian Qingqing could not tolerate.

Ming Zhiyan was a member of the government. Once he was involved in favoritism, his credibility among the public would be greatly reduced. She did not want to implicate him.

Just as she was about to speak, Ming Zhiyan used his eyes to stop her.
