Chapter 93 If you leave, we'll leave too.
Tang Guangjun looked in the direction Lin Xi pointed and saw that the thugs who had been "dead" and "crying" were now surrounded by a group of angry diners.
A local thug tried to escape in the chaos, but an old woman threw a vegetable basket at him, yelling, "I told you not to come and cause trouble, and you're pretending to be dead! I'll teach you a lesson today!"
The other two thugs were trampled to the ground by several strong young men.
They were still trying to justify themselves: "We really are poisoned! Ouch, don't touch me, it hurts!"
But his panicked eyes and the large beads of sweat on his forehead showed that he was only afraid of being beaten, not that he was poisoned at all.
What's more, the one who supposedly "died" actually came back to life!
Uncle can tolerate it, but Aunt can't tolerate it at all!
Tang Guangjun: ...
What a waste of space...
"The county magistrate is here!"
Suddenly, someone shouted, and Dou Weiyi walked over with Ruan Dan.
Tang Guangjun wanted to take Wen Chou away, but it was too late.
"Hey! Tang Guangjun, what brings you to my Pingyao County?"
Dou Wei spotted his "nemesis" at a glance and wasn't about to let him leave. He immediately strode forward and blocked Tang Guangjun's way of making a hasty retreat.
In yesterday's "kidnapping" incident, he was the first to suspect Tang Guangjun, as well as his unscrupulous advisor Wen Chou.
Given what happened yesterday, he felt the matter wasn't over. He made a special trip here today to check, and sure enough, there was more trouble than he expected!
Tang Guangjun froze for a moment, but his mouth remained stubbornly open. "I just came out on patrol. I heard the food here is pretty good, so I came to take a look."
Dou Weiyi raised an eyebrow and looked at Tang Guangjun with a half-smile, "Oh ho, Lord Tang's patrol is really far, it's even reached our Pingyao County."
And your patrol route is quite peculiar, deliberately choosing to go near food stalls? Is your craving for snacks directing your patrol?
Is this an insult calling him brainless?
Tang Guangjun was immediately enraged, his face turning pale and then red. "Hmph, this county magistrate inspects all areas and cares about the people's livelihood. This food stall is also a symbol of the people's livelihood. What's wrong with this county magistrate coming to take a look?"
Dou Weiyi curled his lip. "Lord Tang, please don't be ridiculous. This is my territory; I am the magistrate of Pingyao County."
This is Dou Wei's livelihood, it has nothing to do with you, so don't try to flatter yourself.
Tang Guangjun was rendered speechless by Dou Weiyi's words, and in his anger and embarrassment, he couldn't come up with a single "yes" for a long time.
With a flick of his sleeve and a sidelong glance at Dou Weiyi, he said, "Hmph, if you don't want to come, then don't come. Do you think I care?"
After saying that, he took Wen Chou and got into the carriage next to him without looking back.
"Sir, are we just going to let them go like this? They must be involved in what happened yesterday."
As Ruan Dan watched the carriage depart, she gritted her teeth and snapped her fingers. If she could, she even considered seppuku, because she was feeling extremely uneasy.
Nine times out of ten, it was Tang Guangjun who adopted Wen Chou's despicable plan.
Dou Weiyi stared intently at the departing carriage, his eyes deep and unfathomable. "You don't need to tell me that. That 'second to last' Tang Guangjun is indeed the kind of person who would do such a thing."
However, for a conviction at the same level, evidence must be obtained and handed over to the prefect, and only with an official document can the case be handled.
Their conversation, word for word, reached the ears of Pang Dahai and Zhen Xiaoxi, who had just finished feeling sorry for the chubby girl.
The two exchanged a glance and nodded knowingly.
"Brother Dahai, put the sack on the heist, let's do it!"
Pang Dahai's eyes lit up, and he rubbed his hands together. "Hehe, Xiaoxi, that's exactly what I was thinking!"
Hmph, how dare he bully the chubby girl? Does Tang Guangjun think he can bully that chubby girl?!
Especially after hearing his son, Pang You, praising the chubby girl and being absent-minded when he came back from work, they were even more forbidding and prohibiting it!
So the two of them sat down at the table and excitedly started brainstorming all sorts of feasible plans!
Dou Weiyi also withdrew her gaze and turned to look at Lin Xi, "Are you all alright today?"
Lin Xi shrugged. "Nothing happening today!"
What could possibly happen to them? The ones who are in trouble are the troublemakers lying on the ground!
Dou Weiyi nodded to Lin Xi and turned to leave.
Suddenly, he slapped his forehead, remembering his important task, "That's right, the public toilet is almost finished! You guys go to the west side of the city today and find a shop there as soon as possible!"
To get them moving in, the brothers in Ju'an District lit torches at night to help with the construction. It was very fast. All that was missing were the earthenware toilets and the earthenware drainage pipes!
Lin Xi snapped out of her daze, nudged the busy Gao Mengli beside her, and whispered Dou Weiyi's words in her ear.
Gao Mengli glanced at Dou Weiyi. There was one thing her Xixi was right about: he was talented, resourceful, and efficient.
Given the recent spate of inexplicable events, it's safer to go into the city.
So he nodded to Dou Weiyi, "Okay, I'll go check on the shop after I close up shop."
Dou Weiyi was in a great mood after receiving confirmation. He nodded to the two men and then sent men to take away the local thugs.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to tell the vendors gathered at the city gate that his food stall was going to be moved.
The vendors exclaimed, "How can this be!"
They immediately surrounded them, bombarding them with questions.
An old man selling winnowing baskets asked anxiously, "Sir, where are you moving this food stall? We're counting on this place to be lively."
Dou Wei smiled and reassured him, "It's right in the western part of the city. Once the food stall owner finds a shop, everyone will know. Then, the place will be bigger and safer, and business will definitely be even better."
Upon hearing this, everyone began to make their own plans.
So when Gao Mengli and Lin Xi finished packing up their stalls, the vendors at the city gate also packed up their stalls.
Gao Mengli and Lin Xi entered the city and looked at the merchants following behind them with some surprise.
Gao Mengli turned her head and looked at the vendors curiously, "Why are you following us?!"
One of the vendors replied with a smile, "Boss lady, we just want to see which location in Xicheng you're looking for a shop."
We'd love to set up our stall right next to your shop and soak up some of your popularity!
Just kidding, their big spenders have all moved out, so of course they have to move out too!
That's what they call, "being near the water tower, one gets the moon first!"
The closer you are to the food stalls, the better their business!
Upon hearing this, Gao Mengli was both amused and exasperated. "You guys are too impatient! We haven't even decided yet. What if we can't find a good shop and business is bad? Wouldn't you have made a wasted trip today?"
The vendor waved his hand, "Boss lady, don't underestimate yourself. We've all witnessed the power of your food stall. No matter where you move, it's always packed with customers. We'll be right to follow you."
"Yes, yes!"
Others nodded in agreement.
Lin Xi glanced at everyone and nodded. "Since everyone trusts us so much, let's go take a look together. If we can find a suitable place nearby, we can continue to be 'neighbors' and look out for each other."
