Early in the morning, Zhan Qingyue and others took Liu Orion into the city to report to the officials.
The county chief, Mr. Fan, was also an activist and had all the witnesses and material evidence. He sent Li Zhong to prison on the same day and elected Wang Fugui, a well-respected villager, as the village chief.
This Wang Fugui is also a good person. Li Zhong usually overwhelms him in every aspect, but now he can finally feel proud.
On the day he received the village chief's seal, Wang Fugui directed his mother-in-law to chop a few baskets of vegetables in his vegetable field, and then asked a few men from the village who were close to him to carry the vegetables up the mountain with him.
Zhan Qingyue looked at the baskets of fresh vegetables covered in muddy water, feeling a little confused.
With a polite smile on her face, she pointed at the baskets of vegetables in confusion.
"Our new village is receiving salary without merit, Village Chief Wang, what do you mean by this?"
Wang Fugui's square face was filled with guilt. He raised his hands and bowed in apology: "Miss Zhan, it's all that stupid Li Zhong who did evil things and ruined the relationship between our two villages."
"But he is him and I am me. Since Mr. Fan asked me to be the head of Changfu Village, I can't make the same mistake again and again. I came here this time in the hope of taking over a lot of Mr. Fan's work and letting the two villages settle their differences and reunite. Make peace.”
"I know the loss and harm Li Zhong has caused to everyone, and I can make it up to you without even asking. We are all nervous about food. A small dish is disrespectful. I hope Miss Zhan will accept it."
Zhan Qingyue narrowed her apricot eyes slightly and carefully looked at the new village chief Wang Fugui in front of her.
As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person, not to mention that the culprit is already in jail, so you can't implicate others because of a piece of mouse excrement.
At that moment, Zhan Qingyue asked someone to collect the side dishes sent by Wang Fugui, and returned a packet of vegetable seeds before sending him down the mountain happily.
As the days pass, the construction and development of the new village is in full swing.
In the blink of an eye, summer is almost over, and Han Yiyun's scientific examination is also on the agenda.
Since settling on this mountainside, Han Yiyun has been busy building the village during the day and busy reading and studying at night. He has never had a moment of leisure.
Early that morning, Han Yiyun went to Zhan Qingyue specifically, with a face full of guilt and reluctance: "Yueyue, the autumn exam is getting closer and closer. I have to go to the city to enter the county school. Only after enrolling in the county school can I go to participate in the subject. Qualifications for the exam.”
Zhan Qingyue pretended not to see the reluctance in his eyes, smiled and waved her hand disapprovingly.
"Hey, Brother Han, what do I mean? I happen to have some medicinal materials to sell. Let's go to the city together."
When Han Yiyun heard this, her heart beat faster. Does she want to go with me? It's nice to be alone with her again.
His eyes were sparkling, his breathing was irregular, and his ears were gradually turning red.
"Okay, sister Yueyue, I will help you carry the medicinal materials you want to buy."
Zhan Qingyue was not polite to him. She packed a lot of medicinal materials and put them into a bamboo basket, letting Han Yiyun carry them down the mountain.
After entering the city, the two went their separate ways.
Zhan Qingyue went straight to the largest drug store in the county.
"Girl, you are such a bad-looking drug bastard, and this heavy building is only about the size of your thumb."
The shopkeeper of the medicine shop carefully rummaged through the two herbs that Zhan Qingyue took out from the bamboo basket. The disdain on his face was not less, and the disdain in his eyes was getting stronger and stronger.
"No, girl, these medicinal materials of yours can be sold for one tael of silver at most. No matter how much you pay, you can't raise the price."
Zhan Qingyue couldn't believe her ears. Are the prices of medicinal materials in this era so cheap? Or...the store is bullying customers?
She smiled apologetically and pushed the medicinal materials on the counter forward.
"Shopkeeper, take a look again. Although the appearance of this medicinal material is average, the quality is better. Look at me, I haven't even cut off a beard, and it weighs several kilograms. Why? Is it worth a tael of silver?”
If so many things only cost one tael of silver, it would be a waste of effort to dig them out. I might as well just dig up ginseng from now on.
The shopkeeper said without changing his expression: "It's really only worth one tael of silver."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to collect these medicinal materials on the counter.
Zhan Qingyue quickly held it down and frowned: "Shopkeeper, forget it, I won't sell it. I'll look elsewhere. It's just a tael of silver for so much. It's such a loss."
As she spoke, she put the medicinal materials on the counter into the bamboo basket, and walked out with the bamboo basket on her back.
"Here comes someone! Stop her."
The shopkeeper shouted, and several medicine boys rushed forward to surround her.
"Girl, this store is not for you to come and leave whenever you want. For one tael of silver, you have to sell it even if you don't want to sell it."
"Bah! I don't." Zhan Qingyue spat disdainfully and walked outside.
"Girl, I advise you not to toast or eat as a penalty. If you do this again, you will lose even one tael of silver."
The shopkeeper cursed fiercely, glanced at Zhan Qingyue with his sharp eyes, and several medicine boys rushed towards him.
Zhan Qingyue raised her foot and kicked several medicine boys to the ground, then strode away.
The shopkeeper was anxious. He didn't expect that a yellow-haired girl could be so capable. This would be like kicking someone on the iron plate. He yelled out the door unwillingly: "Go and find me the official. Tell me that this girl stole it." Let them come quickly for the medicinal materials in our store!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a boy hurried towards the county government office.
"Shopkeeper Zhou, is this girl the one who stole the medicinal materials from your pharmacy?"
An official looked at the drug store manager Zhou with suspicion, and then looked at Zhan Qingyue sympathetically.
He often went out to handle cases with Mr. Fan. Naturally, he had met Zhan Qingyue and had eaten wild boar meat given by him. He did not believe that Zhan Qingyue would steal medicinal materials.
But he saw shopkeeper Zhou's face full of grievances, and he complained bitterly: "Fang Baotou, this is the girl. She didn't learn well at a young age, so she came to my shop to sell some medicinal materials. The quality of her medicinal materials is not good, I already gave her a couple of silver." It’s because she feels pity for her.”
"Who knew that this girl would steal the medicinal materials in my store while I was turning around to get the money?"
Zhan Qingyue's face turned green. The shopkeeper's ability to confuse right and wrong was really admirable.
She clenched her back molars and asked, "Then I dare to ask Shopkeeper Zhou, what medicinal materials did I steal from your store? If you don't tell me clearly today, we will go to the county magistrate to sort it out!"
Shopkeeper Zhou curled his lips proudly and said confidently: "It's Eucommia ulmoides and Chonglou."
"You fart!"
Zhan Qingyue cursed indiscriminately and poured out all the medicinal materials in the bamboo basket. They were all money grass and Bupleurum, but there was no Eucommia Chonglou.
Detective Fang has been handling cases for many years, so he knows common medicinal materials. He knows that Shopkeeper Zhou is slandering people, but behind him, Mr. Zhou is someone who even Master Fan has to show courtesy to.
As soon as he thought this, Captain Fang quickly shouted: "Come here, take down this female thief!"
"Let's see who dares!"
I saw a woman wearing a bamboo hat standing in front of Zhan Qingyue.
"Captain Fang, I see you are very capable of telling lies with your eyes open."
Agent Fang lowered his head helplessly: "Miss Fan, I..."
"Okay, I will tell dad when I get back."
Miss Fan interrupted Agent Fang and turned to Zhan Qingyue to thank her.
Only then did Zhan Qingyue remember that the person in front of him was the girl with acne on her face.
"Miss Fan, as long as the medicine works, I also have homemade skin-beautifying soap. Do you want to try it?"
