Chapter 1189: There is no room for such people

Several families seized more than 1.2 million taels of silver and money, 200,000 taels of gold, and countless gold, silver, and jewelry...

Zhou Guo looked at the booklet and shook his head, "He's really rich!"

She has been doing business for so many years and has set up stalls everywhere, but she still doesn't have that much money. The total amount of money she can use now is only 500,000 taels, and she can't move it easily.

What was copied were all the deposits of several families.

The savings, the savings in her hand...

There are only those hidden in the old man’s house in the early years, about 40,000 to 50,000 taels. Not a single tael has been saved in these years. It’s good enough that he doesn’t take anything from it, as he is extremely poor.

These people are so rich!

She led her people in, dug out the silver coins hidden in various corners, and waved her hand, "Take it away!"

Several families were so scared when they saw their money being snatched away that they rushed forward crying and shouting to stop the robbery.

"These are all mine, ours. Why are you taking them away?"

"You are not allowed to move, you are not allowed to move, stay here, God damn it, open your eyes and see if there is any law. These people are blatantly coming to my house to steal things in broad daylight, why don't you send down a thunderbolt to kill her!"

The head of the Yan family looked at Zhou Guo, pointed at her with a trembling finger and said, "Did you plan this all along? My Yan family has no grudges against you, why did you do this? What's the benefit for you?"

Zhou Guo said: "Master Yan, you and I have no grudges, and I have given you a chance. If you didn't touch the relief grain, how could you have any evidence? You robbed them, and then let them run away and come to us to complain. You said this was the cause of the incident, and it would be inappropriate for me not to investigate.

In the final analysis, this matter is your own fault. It was you who did things in a dirty way, and you left a tail behind, and you are reaping the consequences. "

"you you you……"

The head of the Yan family couldn't catch his breath and fainted.

The whole family ran over, crying and shouting, "Grandpa, grandpa, please don't get hurt. Wake up!"

Someone pointed at Zhou Guo and cursed: "You are so cruel! I curse you to have no descendants and your entire family to die. After you die, you will go to the eighteenth level of hell and never be able to turn over a new leaf!"

Zhou Guo smiled and said, "You are wrong. I am now acting on behalf of heaven."

Pointing outside, he said, "Listen, everyone outside is calling me the Great Judge of Heaven, and they are applauding your end. I have brought justice to so many people, this is my merit, and it is you who should go to hell!"

She went out smiling, followed by a group of people carrying boxes of gold, silver and jewelry.

There were circles of ordinary people gathered outside, and they threw mud and manure at Yan's house these days.

The crowd fell silent as they watched them carry out so many boxes.

Zhou Guo said to everyone: "Fellow villagers, if you have any grievances, go to the government office to file a complaint. The Yan family can't turn things around now. As long as the county government finds out that everyone has indeed been persecuted by the Yan family, everyone can get compensation from the Yan family. Although it may not be much, it's better than nothing!"

"What? We can still get compensation? The Yan family can still compensate us?"

Zhou Guo said: "As long as the government can verify that this is true, you can get compensation."

Everyone cheered and some people rolled their eyes.

Zhou Guo continued, "But if the government investigates and finds out that there is no such thing, you know that false accusations will result in a beating with a stick. Twenty sticks will take away half your life. Whether you can survive depends on your luck. You should think it through carefully."

"Yes, thank you sir, we got it!"

The people knelt down before Zhou Guo, shouting, "Thank you, Lord!"

They have lived for so many years, some for most of their lives, and have never encountered anything like this. It turns out that there are officials who would actually stand up for ordinary people like them and even demand compensation for them. There are very few such honest officials in the world.

Everyone knelt down willingly.

Zhou Guo said: "Get up, get up. After a few days, everyone's compensation will be in place."

Wu Lazi ran up and said, "Sir, the Zhou family is making a fuss and insists on inviting you over."

Zhou Guo looked at her and asked, "What's the matter?"

Wu Lazi shook her head, "I don't know."

Zhou Guo was helpless. "You are a big boss. Why are you still being ordered around by others when they are in such a state? You come just because they ask you to, without even asking why? You are not their servant. They are prisoners now, and they are not qualified to negotiate with you."

I hate that iron cannot become steel.

Wu Lazi just laughed and said nothing.

Zhou Guo looked at her suspiciously, and when he glanced at her bulging breasts, he narrowed his eyes and asked, "How much benefit did you receive from others?"

Can a big boss be willing to run errands?

Wu Lazi subconsciously lowered her head to take a look, then leaned in closer and whispered, "A box of pearls."

Then he changed the subject, "Of course they are not as big as yours, but they are all round and shiny and pretty. If I take them back and give them to my little granddaughter, she will definitely be very happy."

She had handed in all the ones she had collected before, but this box of pearls was so rare. Ever since she saw Zhou Guo's box of big pearls, she had been obsessed with these pearls and couldn't help but hold them in her arms.

Zhou Guo reached out, "Give it to me."

Wu Lazi paused and said, struggling, "Isn't it okay for me to just have this one?"

Seeing Zhou Guo was indifferent, he settled for the next best thing, "How many? One?"

He took out the box from his arms and gave it to her in frustration.

Zhou Guo took it back and sighed, "Boss, not everything in this world can be taken. If you take these today, once you start this, there will be no turning back. You will keep making excuses for yourself and then get stuck in the mud."

She looked at her and warned her word by word, "I can't tolerate such people here, and I can't tolerate any sand in my eyes. Do you understand?"

What she was going to do was destined to be extraordinary. If she dared to ask for such a thing, she would never dare to take anything into her arms in the future.

Of course, the business is so big that she can’t even recognize all the people under her, let alone manage every one of them.

But at least she can still manage those who follow her. As long as the top is upright, even if there are a few bad habits below, they will be pulled out sooner or later.

Wu Lazi's hands trembled a few times, and she said in sweat, "Sir, I understand."

Zhou Guo nodded, put the pearl box on his back, and said, "Let's go and visit Zhou's house."

The entire Zhou family was waiting for her.

These days, everyone has been frightened and everyone has lost their dignity. They are completely different from what we saw before.

When the head of the Zhou family saw her coming, he stared at her and said, "How come I didn't know that you are such a noble and upright person?"

Zhou Guo smiled, sat down, and put the pearl box in his hand on the table. He said, "There are many things that the master doesn't know, for example, he doesn't know that I am actually a little girl."

The Zhou family was stunned and looked at her blankly, not realizing what she had said.
