Chapter 1116: Chapter 1122: It’s All Over!
"Ladies, the stall owner has already paid you the silver, why haven’t you let this go yet? It’s normal for the stall owner to feel upset after losing half a year’s earnings in one go, why must you persist for a man?"
"You are wealthy, how would you know the difficulty of making a living?"
Two voices of protest rose from the crowd.
Upon closer scrutiny, they were indeed the ones who had just tried to interfere with Duo’er.
Green Group innocently stated, "It was the stall owner who encouraged my foster mother to buy more."
"I heard the same, he said buying more could increase the chances of winning." Qin Mingrui also seriously chimed in.
This comment was meant for other customers, but he happened to overhear it.
"I didn’t expect my sister to pick up something so good."
Chen Yiling’s eyes narrowed with a smile, initially, her plan was only to make one or two silver, but the stall owner, knowing her capability, had egged her on to buy more.
Isn’t it like lifting a rock only to drop it on one’s own foot, could she be blamed?
The stall owner gave his two brothers a signal, these two individuals were no ordinary people, better to give them the silver and ask for peace.
"Brother, you’ve been in business for a long time, how come you still get so easily scared?"
The stall owner’s second brother whispered.
The three brothers had run this stall for years and had never seen anyone from a rich and noble family come to play this game because they simply do not care for that bit of silver.
The stall owner felt troubled because these two women’s clothes and hair decorations were very simple, they did not look like the prefect’s wife at all.
But what if what they said was true?
If he offended the magistrate and the inspector, he would definitely not be able to continue running his stall!
"I think my second brother makes sense, this woman is so formidable, if she came every day, even mountains of gold and silver would eventually be taken by them to their home."
The stall owner hardened his heart and covertly signaled his two brothers.
Then he turned his head and said, "Ladies, the silver has already been given to you, I need to attend to other customers, I can’t entertain you any longer."
Qiao Duo’er spoke calmly, "People die for money, I initially thought your little tricks to make money were harmless, but now it seems you are downright unscrupulous merchants. It might be better if you visit the Government Office. I reckon Lord Qin would not like to have such scum within his jurisdiction."
The stall owner’s gesture was made early in the year, but it did not escape her eyes.
It was a gesture to slit the throat.
For three or two silver, attempting to cause someone’s death, how could such people be allowed to stay?
Before anyone noticed, three individuals appeared in the crowd standing beside the stall owner and the two plants.
"Madam, what does this mean?" the stall owner’s legs trembled.
"What it means you can ask Lord Qin at the Government Office, and don’t forget to tell him that you wanted to secretly dispose of his wife, he might very well appreciate it."
Chen Yiling said with a hooked lip, at times she even despised her own bad temper, presumably, Qin Longyun had had enough of it long ago.
If someone could deal with her, Qin Longyun might actually be thrilled.
Qin Mingrui spoke in disdain, "My dad is not that kind of person."
Those who bullied his mother would not have good days ahead, even him, his own son!
The stall owner and his two brothers could not help but shudder, now it was all over!
It was said that the newly appointed magistrate was upright and would certainly carefully review their case, and it might even bring up all the mischief they had done in the past.
The year before last, someone won big, and they had a thug rob back the silver.
Last year, someone saw through their tricks, and they beat the man to paralysis while ostensibly inviting him to a meal.
This year, they had offended the Prefect’s wife.
All these offenses piled up, and they were likely to spend several years in prison.
