Chapter 236: Whoever helps me report to the authorities, I'll give him two taels of silver

236. Chapter 236 Whoever helps me report to the authorities, I'll give him two taels of silver.

Oh.

Shi Yun was a little disappointed.

Shi Lin, however, was quite happy.

Qiao Sheng didn't say anything else, after breakfast she rode in a carriage with them to town; with Shi Lin and the others there, now they no longer take ox carts but horse carriages.

Shi Lin, together with An Liu and the others, escorted Xiao Shitou and the others to Feng Ji Private School.

Qiao Sheng went to Qiao Ji Restaurant alone.

Not long after she arrived at Qiao Ji Restaurant, a figure peeked for a moment and then left.

Not long after.

The man who had been peeking went to the Zhao family to report to Qiao Jinzhi.

"Madam, Qiao Lianhua also came to the restaurant alone today; unlike before, her face has completely recovered. It's as white as winter snow, making one unable to help but look again."

This man was not originally a servant of the Zhao family.

He was bought by Qiao Jinzhi and is her person, so he calls her madam.

Qiao Jinzhi frowned and asked him, "What did you say? Her face has improved and is even beautiful?"

"Yes."

The man replied.

Qiao Jinzhi didn't want to wait any longer; she decided to act.

She narrowed her eyes and said, "Hasn't she been coming to the restaurant alone these days? Go hire a few tough martial artists to ruin her appearance and reputation; I want her to wish she were dead."

"Yes, young mistress."

The man was about to leave.

Qiao Jinzhi called out to him, her voice gloomy: "Do it well, and don't let anyone know I sent you. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."

Qiao Sheng didn't know about this.

She went home as usual in the following days and helped out as usual at the restaurant.

That day.

Qiao Sheng parted ways with Shi Lin and the others; halfway along the road she felt someone following her, but she continued on without showing any concern.

Not long after.

Four fierce-looking men.

Two in front, two behind, they blocked her in an alley.

They appeared to be around twenty-five years old, dressed differently from ordinary people; at a glance they were clearly skilled.

"What do you want?"

Qiao Sheng feigned fear and stepped back.

One of the men, a scarred fellow, chuckled and said, "Beauty, you're so lovely; what do you think we want? Of course..."

He laughed lewdly as he went on.

The other three also laughed.

She thought of escaping just like that, but it wouldn't be easy.

Qiao Sheng thought it over, and as they approached she grabbed some flour from her space, pinched it in her hand, and shouted, "I'll fight you with this—look, poison powder..."

She threw the flour at them.

The four men's faces changed instantly; they raised their sleeves to block.

When they realized something was wrong,

Qiao Sheng had already turned and run.

"You little bitch, chase!"

One of the men cursed and leapt forward to block Qiao Sheng's path, while the other three gave chase.

Qiao Sheng no longer cared about anything else; she threw some money at the nearby stall owners, grabbed whatever was on their stalls, and hurled it at the men.

"You dead girl, do you think this can stop us?"

The man who had previously blocked Qiao Sheng's path, dodging while speaking, said.

Qiao Sheng was still throwing things, but she hadn't forgotten to think of a plan; she shouted loudly, "Whoever helps me report to the authorities, I'll give him two taels of silver!"

All around were stall owners, with few passersby.

Having seen how formidable those men were, none dared to help her.

Just when Qiao Sheng thought no one would help,

Not far away, a young stall holder whispered, "Me."

"Hurry up."

Qiao Sheng tossed him a tael of broken silver and said,

Seeing the scarred man who had attacked her moving to chase the young man, Qiao Sheng grabbed a rolling pin and hurled it hard at his head.
