Chapter 152: Can you help me with a favor?

No wonder Cheng Xianglan asked that way.

Qiao Sheng rarely comes to her place these days; she only comes when she has something to do.

Qiao Sheng told Cheng Xianglan the truth.

Upon learning what happened, Cheng Xianglan said calmly, "I don't know much about Sun Mao either; I've only heard people mention him. Let's do this: I'll take you to ask Yun Tian to see if he knows."

Hmm.

Qiao Sheng replied aloud.

She had originally planned to ask Yun Tian; the people at his yamen certainly know more than Cheng Xianglan does.

Yun Tian was making a wooden sword for Cheng Xianglan's son in the room when he suddenly saw her bring Qiao Sheng in from outside, and he called out, "Qiao Sheng, you're here."

"Hmm, I'm here."

Before Qiao Sheng could speak after sitting down, Cheng Xianglan spoke first.

After listening to her finish.

Yun Tian looked at Qiao Sheng and said, "Qiao Sheng, I know Sun Mao and have some understanding of him. He is the master's brother-in-law, relying on his connection with the master, he has long monopolized the dock; for all these years, the dock has been whatever he says."

No wonder he's so arrogant; it turns out someone in the yamen is backing him.

Qiao Sheng was thinking that.

Yun Tian continued, "Although the town magistrate isn't on their side, without evidence you can't do anything about Sun Mao unless you have evidence."

Qiao Sheng knew she could ask Shi Qi and the others for help with this, but she didn't really want to bother them.

What about Shi Lin?

She didn't want to seek him either.

Trying to deal with Sun Mao relying solely on her would never work; she has no money, not enough strength, and how would Sun Mao's men buy into it?

Yun Tian noticed Qiao Sheng zoning out and said, "Qiao Sheng, I know you really want to help your friend, but whatever you do, you need to think it through first; otherwise you won't be able to help them, and you might even harm them and yourself."

Qiao Sheng thanked him: "Yun Tian gege, thank you; I've noted down everything you said."

Leaving their place.

Qiao Sheng walked forward while thinking about what to do.

She didn't know how long she had walked.

A figure suddenly landed in front of Qiao Sheng, wrapped his arms around her waist, and flew her to the side.

"Shi Lin?"

Seeing it was Shi Lin, Qiao Sheng said angrily, "What are you doing? Don't you know this is the main street?"

"If I hadn't saved you, you would have been lying in the street just now."

Shi Lin set her down, pointed to a carriage passing by, and said.

Realizing he had truly saved her.

Qiao Sheng apologized with a guilty face: "Sorry, I just misunderstood you..."

"What are you thinking about, so deeply absorbed?"

Shi Lin asked Qiao Sheng; he had also seen her passing by while drinking tea at a teahouse, otherwise she might already have met with disaster, and if that were the case, little Xiao Shitou would surely cry himself to death.

Her own nephew and Shi Yun would definitely cry as well.

"I..."

Qiao Sheng wanted to speak but stopped.

Shi Lin stared at Qiao Sheng and said, "When did you start hemmin' and hawin' when you speak, Qiao Sheng? If you have something to say, just say it; otherwise I'm leaving."

"Can you help me with a favor?"

Qiao Sheng hesitated a bit but still said it.

Let him help.

Fresh!

Shi Lin curled his lips and said, "What do you want me to help you with? Just say it."

"Let's go somewhere with no one around to talk."

Qiao Sheng looked around, then walked toward a nearby alley, and Shi Lin followed.

Making sure there was no one around.

Qiao Sheng and Shi Lin said, "I have a friend named Zhang Qiao; her husband Sun Shuisheng works at the dock and injured his leg, and two others were injured with him. As a result, the dock boss not only refuses to pay compensation, but also claims it was their own improper operation that caused the injury…"

She is actually someone who is loyal and righteous.

For the sake of a friend.

Seek his help.

Shi Lin opened his mouth to ask her: "What are the facts?"
