176 Going Home

Ning Yue turned to look at Jiang Ying. She thought that Jiang Ying had already considered it, but she did not expect him to frown tightly, as if he was making a difficult decision.

He said to the magistrate, “There must be an investigation. I don’t intend to let them off the hook. Didn’t they say that this person died after drinking our wine? The magistrate will call the coroner first and check the cause of this person’s death.”

No matter what, Zhu Yu had just brought people to the entrance of the wine shop to cause trouble. Although many people supported Ning Yue, he believed that many people would have doubts about this matter.

If this matter was not thoroughly investigated and clarified, the business of the wine shop might plummet.

“My lord, it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have coveted wealth and moved a person who had been dead for a few days to your wine shop. It’s my fault.” Zhu Yu was already frightened. He kept kowtowing to Jiang Ying.

Jiang Ying ignored him and said to the magistrate, “Didn’t you hear me?”

“Yes, yes, yes. The coroner is just outside the door. I’ll call him in.” The magistrate stood up hurriedly.

Actually, when he first went to the wine shop, he had followed Jiang Ying’s instructions and brought the coroner there.

However, he did not expect Jiang Ying to have already arrived at the county office. He rushed back and asked the coroner to wait outside the court so that he would not disturb Jiang Ying.

Although he did not know why Jiang Ying had called the coroner over, he knew that Jiang Ying was very angry now. He just had to do as Jiang Ying instructed.

Soon, the coroner arrived.

With the magistrate’s instructions, the coroner took the body away for dissection.

“County Magistrate, if the autopsy results are out, please announce it in public. Moreover, you know what these people should do,” Jiang Ying said coldly.

“Yes, I’ll definitely do it beautifully. Don’t worry, my lord!” The county magistrate thought that he was fine and heaved a sigh of relief.

However, Jiang Ying’s next words stunned him.

“You’re also in the wrong. We’ll consider your punishment after dealing with this group of people,” Jiang Ying said coldly.

“Yes…” The magistrate blacked out.

Jiang Ying did not say anything else and left with Ning Yue.

They had just left the county office when they saw the shopkeeper standing outside the door anxiously.

“Shopkeeper, why are you standing here?” Ning Yue glanced at the back of the shopkeeper’s head. Blood was already seeping out. Why was the shopkeeper so careless?

“Boss, are you alright?” the shopkeeper asked anxiously.

“We’re fine. Shopkeeper, why didn’t you rest well with your head injured?” Ning Yue asked.

She suspected that the shopkeeper had not only injured his head, but also his brain. He was still running around with such serious injuries. Wasn’t he afraid of death?

“Boss, I heard that something had happened to you when I woke up. How could I rest? I came to the county office to see if I could do anything.”

Originally, the shopkeeper was very anxious. He was so anxious that he could not care less about the wound on the back of his head. When he arrived at the county office, he stood outside the door anxiously, wondering if anything had happened to Ning Yue.

If anything happened to Ning Yue, how would he explain it to that person?

When Ning Yue appeared and he calmed down, he remembered that the back of his head was injured and his wound began to hurt.

“You’re really fooling around!” Ning Yue was speechless.

She looked at Jiang Ying. “The shopkeeper can’t walk by himself now. Help me get someone to send him back.”

Jiang Ying was about to speak when the shopkeeper quickly refused. “No need, no need. I can go back by myself.”

“Nonsense!” Ning Yue berated the shopkeeper. “Originally, the back of your head was injured and you couldn’t move, but you still walked such a long way. How can I be at ease to let you go back yourself?”

Hearing Ning Yue’s words, the shopkeeper stopped talking.

Jiang Ying got someone to hire a carriage and sent the shopkeeper back. He and Ning Yue slowly walked back to the wine shop.

When they returned to the wine shop, they saw that the people around them had already left.

Seeing Ning Yue and Jiang Ying return, those people actually surrounded them again.

Of course, not all of the people surrounding them were spectators when Zhu Yu caused trouble.

They had already heard about what had happened today. They thought that Jiang Ying and Ning Yue’s wine shop would be sealed, but they did not expect them to swagger back.

“Are you all right, girl?” someone bolder asked.
