Chapter 313

"Madam, this commoner dares not have half a word of falsehood in what I said..." Wu Sanshen buried her head and wiped her tears, not daring to look up at Zheng Shi in the main seat at all.

Zheng Shi then gave a look to the maid serving on the side.

The maid immediately took out one hundred taels of silver notes and handed them to Wu Sanshen who was kneeling on the ground: "Get up, this is the reward from Madam."

Zheng Shi said: "You go back and wait properly, I will call you when I have something."

"Good, good, thank you Madam." Wu Sanshen hurriedly took the one hundred taels of silver notes and stuffed them into her bosom, following the servant to leave the Zhao Family from the back door.

As soon as she left the Zhao Family, she couldn't wait to get on the horse carriage and said to the coachman: "Quick, back to Yuhe Village!"

The voice she spoke with couldn't hide her trembling; there was excitement, fear, and even more urgency...

The excitement was because of this one hundred taels of silver notes that had just arrived, plus the one hundred taels that the Zhao Family had given in advance, she now had two hundred taels. This Zhao Family was indeed true to their word...

However, the Corpse-Rotting Poison in her body made her unable to be truly happy.

She had to hurry back to find Jiang Shi for the antidote, and take these two hundred taels of silver notes to run away before the Zhao Family discovered she was lying.

At the same time.

As soon as Wu Third Uncle left, Zheng Madam couldn't wait to take her younger brother to the front yard to find Zhao Wealthy Philanthropist.

"Is this true? That the Jiang family's document of breaking off kinship has really been destroyed?"

"Old Master, it's true. I personally ordered people to steal that document of breaking off kinship from the Jiang family and had it destroyed." Zheng Shi said with a certain look, "That Jiang family no longer has the document of breaking off kinship to rely on. Old Master, you should hurry up and make a move, lest there be many nights and many dreams."

"That's right, that's right." Zheng Yaocai helped from the side, "It's better to get that soap formula as soon as possible, so as not to let the Jiang family sense the wind and have precautions."

"But..." Zhao Wealthy Philanthropist still carried some doubts on his face, "That County Magistrate Du of Yong'an County has a private friendship with the Jiang family. If we make a move at this time..."

Although he was a Wealthy Philanthropist, this official title was also bought, and he had no real power at all, while that County Magistrate Du was a real seven-rank official...

"Old Master, what's difficult about this?" Zheng Shi came up with an idea, "If we want to deal with the Jiang family, we can completely bypass the County Magistrate of Yong'an County and let the County Magistrate of our Qingping County take over. Anyway, that Li family has already been driven out of Yuhe Village, and it is our Zhao Family that took them in. Their family is now people of our Qingping County."

"Sister is right!" Zheng Yaocai said, "Brother-in-law, don't hesitate anymore, hurry up and make a move."

Under the persuasion of the sister and brother, Zhao Wealthy Philanthropist was finally moved.

"Alright then, I'll go to the county government office right now."

"Old Master, take this." Zheng Shi hurriedly took out the complaint document that had been pressed with the Li family's fingerprints long ago, "When the time comes for interrogation in the public hall, I will let the Li family come forward. This time, we will definitely be able to convict Jiang Shi of great unfiliality. Even if we can't kill her, we can make her peel a layer of skin!"

"That's right, that's right!" Zheng Yaocai nodded, "This Jiang family dares to go against us, we will let her know how powerful we are. It's best to send her to prison for a few years, then she will have to admit defeat and hand over the soap formula!"

Zhao Wealthy Philanthropist looked at the complaint document taken out by Zheng Madam, and the last trace of doubt in his heart dissipated.

He rolled his eyes, immediately ordered people to set up the horse carriage, and decided to go to the county government office himself.

Although he had a good friendship with County Magistrate Lu of Qingping County in private, in order to make things go smoothly, he still brought a lot of gold and silver.

On the other side.

Wu Sanshen had already returned to Yuhe Village by horse carriage.

As soon as she entered the village, she didn't even go home and headed straight for the Jiang house.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was discussing the formula ratio of honeycomb coal with her mother in the courtyard. After Wu Sanshen entered, she knelt before Jiang Wei with a thud.

"Xiaoxiao's mother, I have already done as you ordered, please give me the antidote quickly."

Jiang Wei put down the writing brush and said calmly: "What's the rush? The drug effect will only take effect in two days. It won't be too late to give you the antidote after solving the Zhao Family matter."

How could Wu Sanshen dare to wait until that time? If the Zhao Family discovered she was lying, where would she still have her life?

She hurriedly begged: "Xiaoxiao's mother, please be kind and let me go. If the Zhao Family discovers that I helped you, they definitely won't spare me. Just give me the antidote, I will leave Yuhe Village immediately, and I guarantee I will never appear in front of you again to block your eyes."

"Why, now you know you're afraid." Jiang Wei glared coldly at her, "When you agreed to help the Zhao Family harm me, you should have expected this consequence."

"Auntie, the Zhao Family should have given you quite a bit of money." Jiang Xiaoxiao put down the honeycomb coal mold forming machine drawing she was drawing, slowly paced to Wu Sanshen, and deliberately looked at her bulging bosom, "Let me guess, the Zhao Family gave you one hundred taels of silver, or two hundred taels of silver? You want to take this money and run away, right?"

Being guessed by Jiang Xiaoxiao, Wu Sanshen immediately buried her head in embarrassment, trying to quibble: "I, I actually just wanted to leave to avoid the limelight..."

"Heh, do you really think you can leave?" Jiang Xiaoxiao sneered, showing a maturity that didn't match her age, "The Zhao Family even harshly deducts the wages of the boatmen at the Qingping County wharf. Do you really think the Zhao Family would be so generous to give you so much money to let you run away?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled slightly, her words hitting the nail on the head: "They give you money, nothing more than to seal your mouth, fearing that you will counterattack and bite people in the public hall when the time comes. After this matter is solved, the Zhao Family can easily find an excuse to take back the few hundred taels of silver on you. This is still the case with better luck... If the luck is not good, how can you guarantee that the Zhao Family will let you, the only person who knows the secret of the document of breaking off kinship, live?"

A few words made Wu Sanshen break out in a cold sweat.

She knew better than anyone in her heart that the Zhao Family was not a kind person at all.

Regardless of whether this matter succeeded or not, in order not to leave people with gossip and be caught by the handle, the Zhao Family would definitely find a way to solve her, the only insider!

No wonder that Zheng Shi gave money so generously; it turned out she was waiting here!

Wu Sanshen instantly figured out the key.

She hurriedly kowtowed fiercely to the mother and daughter twice and cried: "I don't want it anymore... I don't want the antidote, and I don't want the money. Xiaoxiao's mother, you must save me. I don't want to die, please..."

Jiang Wei supported her chin with her hand, looked deeply at her daughter, and then cast her gaze toward the crying Wu Sanshen. She curled her lips slightly and said: "It's not difficult to want us to save you. When the time comes, it will depend on your performance in the public hall."

"Per, performance?" Wu Sanshen was stunned.

What did this mean? Did she want her to testify against the Zhao Family in the public hall?
