Chapter 446: Chapter 433 Shut Up

“I don’t need you to tell me, I know!” Zhao Qiancheng was very irritated, and vented his anger at Zhao Ziping, “It’s all the trouble you’ve caused!”

If Zhao Ziping hadn’t messed with Zhou Daya, none of this would have happened. How would he them have got his spine broken?

Zhao Ziping pulled a face instantly.

That’s not what was said before.

When he had his sights on Zhou Daya, Zhao Qiancheng was quite pleased. He praised him for his good taste, saying that he had finally found someone who could enhance their reputation. If he could win over Zhou Daya, the secret recipe for century eggs would be theirs and they could make a lot of money.

With this in mind, Zhao Qiancheng had been pulling strings behind his back and advising him.

But now the situation had gone wrong, all the blame was shifted onto him, accusing him of causing all the trouble.

What a jerk!

Zhao Ziping cursed Zhao Qiancheng in his heart.

But on the outside, he put on a slightly apologetic smile, “Uncle shouldn’t be so anxious. These things are common on the road. It’s inevitable that we occasionally get bitten by a dog. It’s no big deal. If worse comes to worst, we chase it away with a stick.”

“I will spread the word that Zhou Daya seduced me. If that doesn’t work, I will say Zhuang Qingning seduced me. Even if I don’t get the prescription, their reputations will be ruined!”

“Do you think you’re the only one who has thought of that?”

Zhao Qiancheng sneered, “Have you heard what people are saying? They are saying that we, uncle and nephew, failed to deceive the prescription, and in our anger, tried to destroy other’s reputation! I spread these rumors earlier, but now all the blame is on us. Do you know why?”

“Why?” Zhao Ziping’s eyes widened.

“Because that son of a bitch Zhuang Jingye thought of this earlier! He told everyone that we were greedy for his family’s prescription. So now, no matter what we say, people will think we failed to steal the recipe and are just slandering them.”

Zhao Qiancheng yelled, “Even if you now claim that Zhou Daya or Zhuang Qingning seduced you, or that they even slept with you, people would not be interested.”

“Then what should we do…?” When Zhao Ziping heard this, he was horrified, and spat forcefully on the ground, “These people in Enji Village have too many tricks up their sleeves and are too cunning!”

“What can we do…?” Zhao Qiancheng was so angry, he wanted to give Zhao Ziping another severe lecture, but before he could open his mouth, someone came into the yard.

“Older brother Dacai, do you need something?” Seeing that it was Zhao Dacai, Zhao Qiancheng quickly put on a friendly smile.

Zhao Dacai was one of the few affluent people in the village. He had a rice noodle shop in the town, and the villagers sold most of their surplus grain to his shop.

Moreover, Zhao Dacai’s second son was said to work in the Prefecture Government Office. Although being a constable is a low status position, even a servant at the Prime Minister’s door is seen as an official of the seventh rank. After all, he got to meet the Magistrate, so he couldn’t be underestimated.

Furthermore, Zhao Dacai had previously donated money to build a temple in the village, so his prestige was quite high. Being the village chief, Zhao Qiancheng had to be respectful when he saw him.
