Chapter 155: Fire in Fangxing Building

Zhang Zhiyi asked: "You and I are not the same kind of people, so you and Qian Junjie are the same kind of people?"

He has been thinking about it today.

Why can Qian Junjie, who is also a bastard, be respected for turning over a new leaf? Why can't he be respected for that?

Jiusu said: "Yes."

Zhang Zhiyi said viciously: "Jiusu, don't be shameless and follow me honestly. Believe it or not, I can kill you with just a flick of my finger!"

"Heh, are your fingers broken? Haven't you moved them several times?" Jiusu would not indulge him.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhiyi wanted to take action.

He beats women, and this is the first woman he wants to beat so much!

County Magistrate Zhang stretched out his hand to stop him, "What are you doing? Do you want to hit Lord Jiu? Don't you know that Lord Jiu has a special status and his words carry a lot of weight in Su Ming County? You bastard, you really don't know your place, get to the back!"

Jiusu's mind was as clear as a mirror, and he was blaming others indirectly.

He cupped his hands and said, "Master Jiu, please forgive me."

Jiusu said: "You are too kind, County Magistrate. I will have to rely on you in the future."

Magistrate Zhang laughed a few times shrewdly.

"I just don't know what Master Jiu said to my son..."

Zitan bowed and said, "Mr. County Magistrate is very resourceful, how come you don't know that girls are thin-skinned and easily annoyed?"

"Oh? What do you mean?" County Magistrate Zhang looked at Zitan. This maid was not simple either. She reversed the situation with just one or two words. He had to ask and had to be led by the nose.

Zitan sighed and said helplessly.

"As soon as Master Zhang entered the carriage, he flirted with my young lady and the Zhang family salt farm. His first words were a blunder, threatening my young lady that she had to marry into the Zhang family before he could give her salt. The same thing happened with the other families.

The Emperor has given Miss such an important task, so she will do her best. But Master Zhang is playing around, so Miss is very angry. "

Snapped!

Magistrate Zhang slapped his son in the face and said, "Asshole, is what she said true?"

Zhang Zhiyi covered his face and lost face.

He glared at Zitan fiercely, thinking that this little bitch was going to sell Jiusu off once she got her, and she even dared to report him, Master Zhang.

"Jiusu, you are the slut that General Chen doesn't want, why are you so arrogant?"

County Magistrate Zhang started to scold him, "Shut up! You're always causing trouble and saying nothing serious. Apologize to Lord Jiu right now."

Jiusu raised his hand to stop him.

"No need to apologize."

It's not sincere anyway.

"I hope that the county magistrate's career and my salt transportation will go smoothly this year."

"Of course." Magistrate Zhang said with a smile.

Jiusu smiled and watched the two people walk away. Suddenly her eyes turned cold. She knew very well that sooner or later, there would be a fierce battle between her and these people.

The smell of blood has begun to spread.

There was a sly flash in her eyes, and she whispered, "Whoever lies will be in trouble~"

In the following days, Zhang Zhiyi kept spreading bad things about Jiusu. Of course, no one believed it, and it also increased Jiusu's popularity. People kept asking, who is Jiusu?

Someone said: "Jiusu, is he a salt transporter or a hot pot restaurant owner?"

"The salt transport taught me," he asked, "what this hot pot is."

The woman holding the child took out a flyer from the swaddling clothes and said, "This is the hot pot restaurant. It will be open soon. The Hua Ting Academy, the Qian family, and Shopkeeper Fang have all tried it and praised it for being delicious."

"But this meal will cost a lot of money."

"If I save up a bit, it would be good to eat there once a month. I plan to eat there during the Chinese New Year."

"..."

In the dark alley, there were several people trading. There was a thin figure under the cloak. He stretched out his sallow hand, took the silver and handed over something wrapped in cloth.

"Smoke less, don't die."

"I understand." The man nodded woodenly. Only after everyone had walked a long way away did he reveal a hint of joy. He returned home with stiff limbs and could finally live another day.

He took a deep breath.

I don't like this kind of fresh air, I only like the feeling of smoke.

[Congratulations to the host for passing the "Worship the God of Wealth" and obtaining 10 Fujin Pills]

Jiusu sat up, looked at the dimly lit sky outside the window, returned to the system, looked at the Fujin Pills, and fell silent. Take ten pills in ten days and you will recover.

The medicine given by the God of Wealth System is naturally a miracle drug, she believes it.

Besides, there is still a week left to see whether Ajing's hand can be healed.

"Why did you give him ten more?" She shook her head to shake off the trapped insect. "Well, it doesn't have to be given to Chen Zhao. Even if we auction it off, we won't give it to him."

The morning was very busy. I went to the academy to attend a one-hour class and then checked the quality of the wine and juice in the shop again.

The fire shot up into the sky.

The people outside were carrying buckets and running eastward. Jiusu looked over, took two quick steps, grabbed a passerby and asked, "Is Fangxing Building on fire?"

"Yes, the fire is very big!" he said.

Jiusu ran quickly towards Fangxinglou. The fire was almost out. She looked at the dusty and desperate Shopkeeper Fang and fanned herself with her sleeves.

"Manager Fang, do you want me to call a doctor for you?"

"Miss Jiu." Shopkeeper Fang came back to his senses and called out politely. He waved his hand and said, "No need. I didn't burn it. It's just that everything is ruined. It's all gone..."

Jiusu consoled him, "If the restaurant is gone, we can just build another one. The chefs and craftsmanship are still there."

Shopkeeper Fang raised his head, looked at the burned-down restaurant, and sighed heavily.

"How did it catch fire? The only place where a fire could start is in the kitchen, but Agui said he made no mistake and the fire didn't start in the kitchen."

Ah Gui came over with his head in his hands, and recalled carefully: "Boss, Miss Jiu, I really didn't lie."

Hearing this, Jiusu pondered and looked at the crowd watching. She had an idea in her mind and asked softly.

“Are there many diners at Zhenxinglou recently?”

"Almost nothing." Shopkeeper Fang is also a smart man. "Are you saying that it was Prince Qi who set the fire?"

Jiusu analyzed, "If they weren't desperate, they wouldn't have set the fire. If Fangxing Building is destroyed, Zhenxing Building must have benefited. I guess Qi Ba must be among the crowd."

Agui said, "Yes, the shopkeeper, I also think it was him. A few days ago, he said he would pay ten times the marriage fee and asked me to go to Zhenxing Building."

The three of them discussed it and quietly looked for him.

Magistrate Zhang came hurriedly with his soldiers and found Shopkeeper Fang to learn what had happened. He leisurely played with the new toy in his hand.

"Oh, it seems the fire started accidentally."

"Sir, I have been wronged. This fire was definitely man-made. I hope you can look into it carefully." Shopkeeper Fang stepped forward and stuffed a silver ingot into his waist.

Magistrate Zhang's brows relaxed and he changed the subject, "Yes, how could a fire start here? It must have been man-made."

Jiusu guided.

"The arsonist had ulterior motives and would definitely watch the joke at the scene. The county magistrate must think so, too, right?"

"Of course. I have handled many cases. This must have been done by our enemies. Come on, cordon off the scene and search it one by one!" Magistrate Zhang waved his hand.

The officers and soldiers surrounded the crowd.
