Chapter 320 Zhang 3 is back
The next morning, after finishing her meal, Shen Wanning took out the soapberry soaked water and poured it into a new pot. She added some tea leaves and slowly boiled it until the juice came out. Finally, she filtered out the residue and finally got the shampoo.
Xu was the first to try it out. She washed her hair with shampoo and it was indeed full of foam. After washing it, her hair was much cleaner than when she washed it with rice water.
"Well, it's true, nothing Wan Ning makes is bad." Xu praised.
Hearing what Mrs. Xu said, Aunt Zhang couldn't wait to try it out. After using it, she praised the shampoo highly.
"If mother and sister-in-law think this shampoo is useful, then I will sell it to you." Shen Wanning put the remaining shampoo away, waiting to let Wen try it tomorrow.
"Of course it's no problem. Tomorrow I will ask some older sisters-in-law to come over and help pick soapberries. Once there are enough soapberries, we can take them to the workshop for mass production." Aunt Zhang took the comb from Xu's hand and said.
"Okay, thank you first, Mom. Please help tell the aunts in the village."
"Oh, why bother saying thank you or not." Aunt Zhang waved her hand while holding the comb.
Time flew by, and Shen Wanning had spent ten days in Daqing Village. She spent most of this time in the workshop, watching them make shampoo, with the exception of a trip to Fuzhou to deliver shampoo to the shop.
Today she plans to go to Fuzhou again to deliver some more shampoo and see how the shampoo sales are going.
As soon as I arrived at the shop door, Aunt Gui came to greet me with a beaming face. "My Lord, the shampoo you sent last time is selling very well. All the shampoo we sent last time is sold out. In recent days, many ladies have come to ask when the shop will have new shampoo."
Shen Wanning smiled and said, "That's good. I'm here today to deliver shampoo. Let Beichen and the others take the shampoo out of the carriage!"
"Okay, okay! Please go sit in the back hall for a while. I'll ask Beiluo to make some tea. Would you like to see the shop's account book?"
Shen Wanning shook her head and walked to the back hall. "No, I trust the shopkeeper. Let's come back and have a look when we have time later!"
"By the way, County Lady, there is one more thing. Zhang San and the others are back, and they were personally sent back to the mansion by General Yue. I thought that since they were sent by General Yue, they should not be deceiving people, so I temporarily let them stay in the backyard of the Shen Mansion." Nanny Gui said.
Shen Wanning exclaimed in surprise, "Zhang San and the others are back? How many days have they been back? Why didn't anyone go to Daqing Village to tell me?"
"They just came back yesterday. They originally planned to return to the county town today. I saw that they were tired from the journey, so I let them stay for one more night and planned to let them return to the county town tomorrow." Aunt Gui personally poured a cup of tea for Shen Wanning and said.
Shen Wanning stood up suddenly and said, "Then I'll go back to the mansion first. I don't know what happened to them in the capital."
"My lord, you have been sitting in the carriage for such a long time. Why don't you have a cup of tea and have lunch before going back? They are in the mansion and will not leave for a while." Nanny Gui advised.
"No, I'll take them out to eat later!" Shen Wanning thought for a while and said.
Nanny Gui opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end nothing came out.
After Beichen and the others unloaded the shampoo from the carriage, Shen Wanning drove the carriage back to the Shen Mansion.
The fact that Zhang San and his friends were able to come back alive means that Dai Yongcheng’s problem has probably been resolved.
However, she did not go to the county town during this period, otherwise, County Magistrate He would have told her about this matter.
Upon seeing Shen Wanning, Zhang San and the other two knelt on the ground with a thud. After they kowtowed to Shen Wanning together, Zhang San spoke first, "County Lord, my three brothers have finally been able to avenge our great hatred. Thank you so much for your help. From now on, our lives belong to you."
Shen Wanning quickly walked up to the three of them, bent down and tried to help them up, "What are you three doing? Hurry up, get up, hurry up. It's a good thing that you can get revenge, get up and talk."
Li Si wiped his tears with his sleeves. "My Lady, we three thought we would never see you again after this trip to the capital. We thought we would have to repay you in our next life for your kindness. I never thought that God would be so merciful and spare our three brothers' lives, so that we can serve you again."
Shen Wanning was speechless. These people kept talking about repaying each other, and she had no idea what Dai Yongcheng was doing now.
"Hurry up and tell me what's happening in the capital." Shen Wanning said again.
Shen Wanning walked to the main seat first and sat down. She pointed to the seats below and said, "You've been gone for several months. I guess there's a lot to talk about. Why don't you sit down and talk? Take your time and I'll listen."
Several people shook their heads frantically, "No, thank you, County Master. We can just stand and talk."
Shen Wanning knew their temperaments and didn't force them. She picked up the teacup and gently flicked it with the lid a few times. "Tell me, what's the situation?"
Zhang San, as a representative, stepped forward and said, "Now that we have the account books, the emperor quickly convicted General Dai. However, we happened to file a complaint with the Jingzhao Prefecture, so the emperor only ordered the arrest of General Dai and his family."
After saying this, Zhang San glanced at Li Si, who then stepped forward and continued, "The rumors are indeed true. Lord Bao is an upright official who serves his country and his people. After receiving our complaint, Lord Bao first asked us for some details. Later, Lord Bao interviewed many people and finally found evidence that General Dai had embezzled our pension funds."
"What's the outcome? Has Dai Yongcheng's verdict been announced?" Shen Wanning asked, taking a sip of tea.
"The verdict has been made. The evidence is in front of us. The emperor sentenced General Dai to confiscation of property and exile. As for General Dai himself, the emperor directly sentenced him to death. We watched General Dai's head fall off with our own eyes before we returned. Not only that, Mr. Bao also suggested to the emperor to return our pension twice as much." Wang Wu said excitedly.
"Well, congratulations. After enduring for so many years, you finally got your revenge. The pension the emperor gave you as compensation should be enough for you to live on for the rest of your life. You guys can take the pension and live a good life!" Shen Wanning said with relief.
After she said this, the three of them were extremely anxious, thinking that Shen Wanning didn't want them anymore. They quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Shen Wanning again, "Please don't chase us away, my lord. Although we three brothers are disabled, we can still help with the laundry, cooking, cleaning the yard, guarding the door, and driving the carriage."
