Nier felt that her father had always been an honest man and would never do anything to offend anyone, nor would he initiate a conflict with others. How could such a situation happen?

"Thank you, Manager Wang, for coming to tell me, but~what exactly is going on?"

Shopkeeper Wang waved his hand, asked the two men to get on the carriage, and took them back to his territory. On the way, they passed by Fu Restaurant and saw that there were soldiers guarding the door and a circle of people chattering outside.

"Have you heard that there's something wrong with the soy milk in this restaurant?"

"I drank it and it was delicious, what's wrong?"

"It is said that Miss Lin has had a stomachache from drinking soy milk. There are quality issues with the soy milk and we are investigating it."

"The Miss Lin is not someone you can easily mess with. If you offend her, you won't be able to survive in this world."

"I finally found a dish I liked, but now I can't eat it anymore. What a pity~"

Zhao Jincheng and Ni'er looked at each other and frowned. They didn't understand what was going on and didn't know what to say to comfort her.

After all, she is the master. When something like this happens to his disciple, he will feel more at ease with her around, and maybe she can even help.

Normally, it would only take a cup of tea to walk from here to Qianwei Restaurant, but Ni'er felt it was taking an extremely long time. She leaned on the small window of the carriage, staring intently, wishing she could grow wings and fly away.

Finally arriving at the place, the two sat down and began to listen to Manager Wang's account of the origin of the matter.

It turned out that Miss Lin was the daughter of a wealthy businessman, and her uncle was the county magistrate. She drank soy milk from Lai Fu Restaurant this morning and had diarrhea, which was a serious matter.

Her uncle loved her very much. Whenever she got into any trouble since she was a child, he would scold the person who served her. If she ate something bad, he would never let her go.

The county magistrate directly sent people to bring back Manager Liu of Lai Fu Restaurant and Niu Lao San for questioning, and there is no news yet.

When the owner of Qianwei Restaurant saw this, he thought about informing the third brother's family. The tofu they sent was obviously of good quality, and there was no reason for soy milk to give others diarrhea.

If there is no such delicious food to sell in the future, customers will be disappointed and I will also lose an income.

Nier also felt strange after hearing this. The temperature was obviously not high and was far from reaching the condition for it to go bad early in the morning.

My mother is pregnant and it is not convenient for her to do this. My strength is so limited that she can’t help. I can only rely on myself.

The highest-ranking official he had ever met was the village head. When he went to meet the county magistrate, his heart began to beat fast.

That person is a protective person. I don’t know if he will listen to what I say. I don’t know if my father will be tortured. I have to go and see what’s going on.

In an instant, my mind was flooded with thoughts and I was in a state of confusion. Such a burden was placed on a child whose teeth had not yet grown.

Nier clenched her fists, took a few deep breaths, stood up and went to find her father.

How could Zhao Jincheng feel at ease leaving his little apprentice at home, so naturally he went to see the county magistrate together.

Widow Li was simply thinking about not washing clothes last night, but how could she really not wash them?

Go quickly in the morning when there is no one around. Fewer people will see you and there will be less talk.

I was walking towards the river with the basin in my arms, when I unexpectedly ran into Niu Laoer.

From a distance, Niu Laoer felt that the man's clothes looked very familiar.

But... there's no one in the village who walks like that. I took a few steps forward and finally saw the other person clearly.

Isn't that the widow Li who failed a few days ago? What happened to her? She looks weird.

Now the person Widow Li least wanted to see appeared before her. She wanted to walk normally, but there was no way.

Niu Lao Er stood in front of the other person and asked, "Is your leg injured?"

Widow Li nodded. She didn't want to see anything, but it happened. She just wanted to leave as soon as possible.

I wish he didn’t remember this incident. When my legs are better again, I will definitely catch this man who knows how to make money.

Seeing the other person like this, I really lost interest and turned sideways to get out of the way.

Widow Li breathed a sigh of relief and ran away as fast as she could.

When she arrived at the gate of the county government, Ni'er was stopped by someone, "This is the government's important area, outsiders are not allowed to enter."

When the bailiff saw that the visitor was a little girl whose hair had not even grown out, he naturally could not let her in.

Zhao Jincheng stepped forward and explained, "The soy milk at Laifu Restaurant is made by this little girl. The Niu Lao San you arrested was just helping her deliver the goods."

The bailiffs looked at each other and wondered how a child could make soy milk.

Seeing that they were in doubt, Nier said, "It was indeed me who did it. Niu Lao San is my father, and he helps deliver it to the town every day."

The bailiffs stared at Zhao Jincheng, wondering who he was.

Zhao Jincheng was busy introducing himself and pointed at Ni'er, "I'm her master."

Zhao Jincheng deliberately did not say it clearly, and the bailiffs misunderstood. It turned out that the two culprits were here.

The yamen runners could not make the decision on such matters. The one who had a stomachache was the county magistrate's own niece, so they could not neglect her.

One of them immediately went in to report, and soon someone came to call Zhao Jincheng and Niu Xiaoni in.

The stone lions on both sides of the gate were very majestic. After going up the steps, I saw two large pillars with words on them. Ni'er was already nervous and didn't look carefully at what was written on them.

Walking further in, passing through the ceremonial gate and the archway, one feels more and more solemn and dignified. Swallowing a few times relieves the tension a little.

There seemed to be people in the east and west wing rooms on both sides, but I didn't dare to look closely. Farmers have a natural awe of officials.

He lowered his head and looked at the position of two bricks in front of his moving toes, and a pair of feet wearing official boots appeared in front of him.

He almost bumped into the man, so he immediately stopped and stepped back.

A voice came from above my head, "Did you make the soy milk?"

Nier didn't dare to look up at the person who came, "I made the soy milk for Laifu Restaurant."

The man walked to the pavilion next to him and said, "The quality of your food is not up to standard. It has made people sick. Do you know what crime you have committed?"

When it comes to food, Nier is naturally confident that the ingredients used in her home are fresh and clean, and she will definitely not eat bad people. It may be a misunderstanding or someone framing her.

Just as he was about to say something, the entrance to the county government office suddenly became noisy. Several people, holding their stomachs, were making a lot of noise at the entrance and were stopped by the bailiffs.

One of the bailiffs walked in quickly and whispered to the man, and the man who was questioning Ni'er stood up and left, leaving the two of them there.

Ni'er was extremely anxious when she didn't see her father. She didn't know what the current situation was. Her father was just an ordinary farmer, so he wouldn't be tortured.

Those who had stomach problems were also brought here. When I looked up, I found that my uncle was also there.

Nier thought it was such a coincidence that Miss Lin, who drank her own soy milk, had a stomachache, but no one else had any discomfort. People who drank her uncle's soy milk also had a stomachache. Could it be...

A light bulb went off in my head. It could be that the soy milk that the young lady was drinking wasn't made at home. There must be something fishy going on.
