Chapter 30

The people watching at the gate of the Xujiang County Yaya were all people. The magistrate of Xujiang County, Xu Minru, was sitting in the high seat with a majestic expression, and glanced at the two groups of people kneeling below.

On one side are Liu Erqiao, Xie Fuqi, Mrs. Qi and Mrs. Xie, on the other side are shopkeeper Zhang of Yuenan Bookstore and on the right are shopkeeper Li of Qin Lan Bookstore.

Don't look at shopkeeper Zhang and shopkeeper Li being just two of them, you and I have left Liu Erqiao and others speechless, so only Qi can stand up and argue.

Shopkeeper Zhang took advantage of his loud voice while talking and pulling the waiters to comment.

Qi's mouth was on top of two mouths, but his voice was not loud, and he didn't gain the upper hand at all.

But at the Chayue Building at this moment, Chu Wenyu heard about this and hurriedly searched for a way.

Lu Zhishu sipped tea leisurely, with an intriguing expression on his face, seeing Chu Wenyu coming, he beckoned her over, "You said that the tea in our Chayuelou is the best, how can we add so much to the taste? "

The art of this way is puzzling.

Chu Wenyu looked at his expression, her eyes were flickering, she took a deep breath, "Sour and sweet, is it because I was burned?"

"Burn! Burn?" Lu Zhishu got up in an instant, and then laughed gloatingly, "Just say that the old lady has a bad temper, and she deserves it for her righteousness."

Chu Wenyu was wrong, Lu Zhishu's reaction was not to the point of forcing her to burn down the shop.

"Tell me, if I help, how much will she give me?" Lu Zhishu rubbed his chin and asked with a smile.

The corner of Chu Wenyu's mouth twitched, and then she really thought about it seriously. In her impression, Tang Tang'er has no power or power. Basically, the people who open bookstores are scholars. What do scholars have?Must be a network!
Maybe, they were the ones who caused the fire, but she hadn't thought of the reason for it, it was because of jealousy.

The store has only been open for a few days, and the business is getting better and better, so it will definitely attract red eyes.

What can Tang Tanger do?
Chu Wenyu shook his head, "It should be [-] to [-] percent!"

As soon as Lu Zhishu heard that it was what he wanted, he got up and asked someone to drive the carriage, and left as soon as he said.

When Tang Tang'er arrived at the Xujiang county government office, she saw Xu Minru interrogating Liu Erqiao with certainty.

Liu Erqiao's face was full of tears, she bit her lips and shook her head, always claiming that she didn't know anything.

Before the Qi family could speak, they were suppressed by Xu Minru in the name of disrupting court discipline.

Tang Tang'er looked on indifferently, watching the smiles on the corners of the mouths of shopkeeper Zhang and shopkeeper Li getting bigger and bigger.

Tang Tang'er raised her eyes, Qin Yue pushed aside the crowd and walked over first.

"Who are you?" The yamen servant stopped Qin Yue.

Tang Tang'er smiled and said, "I am Sour and Sweet, and I am the owner of my shop."

As soon as these words came out, everyone including Xu Minru looked at Tang Tang'er.

Liu Erqiao started to cry even more, wishing she could rush over and hug Tang Tang'er and cry loudly.

The yamen servant looked at Xu Minru's face, and gave way, but stopped Qin Yue.

"Master." Qin Yue frowned.

"Stay here." Tang Tang'er said as she walked in, she saluted without kneeling.

Xu Minru slapped the gavel and shouted, "Bold and unreasonable, why don't you kneel when you see me?"

"Return to the county magistrate, Liang Guo's laws, you don't kneel for witnesses in court." Tang Tang'er didn't talk nonsense, she took out the jade pendant, "My lord, this is the evidence I found."

When Tang Tang'er handed in the Jadeite Ruyi Pendant, shopkeeper Li visibly trembled, and shopkeeper Zhang lowered his eyes slightly and then sneered softly.

"What is this?" Xu Minru picked up the pendant and looked at it, then put it down casually. He looked at it, narrowed his eyes shrewdly, and when he looked at shopkeeper Zhang, shopkeeper Zhang nodded.

All this was seen by Qin Yue, she wanted to remind Tang Tang'er, but it was too late.

Tang Tang'er didn't tell the origin of this object at all, so Xu Minru threw the pendant in front of her, "Bringing useless things to testify in court, I will definitely hit you thirty times for the crime of disturbing the court. !"

Tang Tang'er's first encounter with official posts was in Jinning County, where he could still be reasonable, but this time he could indeed be punished directly and indiscriminately.

Thinking that Tang Tang'er was intimidated, Tang Tang'er turned to face the crowd and said, "Liang Guo's law destroys evidence to show deceit. This evidence was found at the scene of the fire, and it's not just one."

"My lord wants to protect others, can the common people be angry, is the sky high and the emperor is far away, my lord can cover the sky with one hand."

Tang Tang'er's voice is not high, but everyone can hear it.

When Xu Minru heard this, he was furious, and he immediately ordered the servants to control Tang Tang'er.

"My lord, if I make any mistakes, the evidence in my hand will be handed over to others and transferred to Beijing." Tang Tang'er was neither humble nor overbearing, and her momentum must not lose but be overwhelming.

Tang Tang'er knows that the people don't fight with officials, and he also knows that such actions will not please him, but only by resisting and making him feel guilty, will he have a chance of survival.

Xu Minru has been an official for many years, and Tang Tang'er can also know that he has been bribed by others through the reaction of shopkeeper Zhang and others, and it should not be just this time, he will have a guilty conscience if he has a clue, and he will keep back when he is guilty.

Qipin county magistrate, let alone the capital city, even if it was the city of Yonghe Prefecture, he couldn't control the situation.

Xu Minru's face was so gloomy, he pointed at Tang Tang'er, "What on earth do you want, you bastard?"

"My lord, as a witness, I just want to restore the truth." Tang Tang'er looked innocent.

Xu Minru laughed angrily, threatened him with such words and then told her that she just wanted to restore the truth?
"The time to walk in the water was early in the morning. At that time, the door of the shop was locked, and the key of the shop was pried open, and someone broke in, set fire from the inside, and then fled, leaving evidence." Tang Tanger pointed to the ground that was thrown. The scattered jadeite Ruyi pendant.

"How do you prove that someone else set the fire? What evidence do you have?" Shopkeeper Zhang immediately retorted.

"Good question!" Tang Tang'er smiled, and took out a bet from his sleeve, "Treasurer Zhang, let's see what this is?"

Shopkeeper Zhang widened his eyes in horror, then shook his head in disbelief, "No! No, how could you have it? No, you are a fake!"

"The one that shopkeeper Zhang stole is fake, and this one is real." Tang Tang'er brought it to him with a smile, so that he could see it clearly.

"A few days ago, shopkeeper Zhang made a bet with me. It stated that if my food shop couldn't be opened, I would sell it to him for a penny. Sell ​​it to me, within a few days after the bet was established, the business of my shop is so good that shopkeeper Zhang is scared!"

"The shopkeeper Zhang didn't want to sell the shop to me for a penny, so he had a plan. He first sneaked into my shop and found the bet. Then he set fire to my shop and walked away on purpose. The one who came back was a bit late, so the fire burned to my own shop. This is a good idea! Although it is insidious, it can not only save the shop, but also extort a lot of money, so why not do it!"

"What do you say, Shopkeeper Zhang?"

Shopkeeper Zhang was sweating coldly, why?Why did Tang Tang'er guess his thoughts so accurately? Was it someone who informed him?He looked at Shopkeeper Li, who shook his head quickly and couldn't help but speak.

"It's really none of my business! I didn't say anything!"

When Shopkeeper Li opened his mouth, everyone began to condemn Shopkeeper Zhang, just like when Tang Tang'er first arrived, everyone criticized Liu Erqiao.

look!Such is the power of public opinion.

Xu Minru patted the gavel unbearably, "Quiet and quiet."

Shopkeeper Zhang was awakened suddenly, and he immediately opened his mouth to swallow the bet.

Liu Erqiao didn't know where the strength came from at the moment, so he snatched it for thousands of dollars, but shopkeeper Zhang didn't care about anything, so he swallowed it directly.

Shopkeeper Zhang was still wondering why Tang Tang'er didn't organize it. When he raised his eyes, he saw Tang Tang'er looking at him with a smile, until Tang Tang'er came up with another bet.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, do you think other people are as brainless as you?" Tang Tang'er sneered, and looked at Xu Minru, "My lord, the matter is still clear, what else do you need to know?"

Now Xu Minru feels as uncomfortable as eating a fly. He glanced at the shopkeeper Zhang, and then said haha, "Well, I will be detained in advance, and I will try again at another day!"

Tang Tang'er glanced at Qin Yue, who immediately incited the people and complained repeatedly.

Xu Minru was extremely embarrassed by Tang Tang'er and lost face. He glared at Tang Tang'er viciously and offended her. Tang Tang'er still wants to be successful in Xujiang County?
Xu Minru exhaled loudly, "Let's leave this matter behind and leave!"

"Wait a minute!" Tang Tang'er stepped forward.

"What else is there!" Xu Minru suppressed his anger, if there were not so many people, Xu Minru would definitely beat Tang Tang'er to death in court.

"Malicious damage to other people's belongings requires compensation. My lord, shopkeeper Zhang needs to make compensation. Is it up to you, or should we solve it by ourselves." Tang Tang'er seemed to be asking for opinions.

Xu Minru was about to shoot the gavel when Lu Zhishu arrived.

"My lord, Dong Dong's words are justified."

Xu Minru saw that it was the art of the road, so he coughed slightly, and said in a perfunctory tone, "Fix it yourself, retreat!"

Liu Erqiao couldn't hold back anymore, hugged Tang Tang'er and began to cry, Qi's family was also let go, Mr. Xie led the carriage, Tang Tang'er asked Qin Yue to bring shopkeeper Zhang, and Li The shopkeeper did not fall behind either.

Lu Zhishu stared at Tang Tang'er in a daze, without even giving him a look.

Lu Zhishu stopped Tang Tang'er, "Tang Dong's family, no matter how you say it, I've been very busy, tell me..."

"It's really time for Ludong's family to come. Although it's useless for you to come, at least you're here, so let's do it!" Tang Tang'er said in a talkative tone, "Don't think about dividing it into problems, but I can provide you with more You can put some exclusive secret recipes in your tea or in your food, and your dream of opening Liang Kingdom will soon come true."

"Hey! No! Don't go!" Lu Zhishu watched Tang Tang'er walk away, and sighed deeply, what's the matter!He came here in a hurry, no matter what, he should help to finish it!How can you be so ungrateful!
Lu Zhishu left the yamen and entered from behind the yamen.

As soon as he entered, Lu Zhishu accompanied a smiling face and asked someone to move a big box.

Xu Minru looked at the silver in the box with a smile on his face, and he pulled Lu Zhishu affectionately, "Master Lu! This matter is really inappropriate. I don't know what your relationship is? If you need to arrange it in the future, just tell me."

"My lord, this old lady is old and has a stubborn temper. Don't be as knowledgeable as her. As for the matter behind that surnamed Zhang, you can just push it to me. I have some skills in Xujiang County for so long. "

Only then did Xu Minru nod his head, "It's still Lu Dong's family who is on the road, and you should be cautious when getting acquainted with that kind of person."

Xu Minru watched another box of silver go into his pocket, so he didn't care about anything else.

Lu Zhishu came out of the Yamen, and then he patted his forehead with his forehead, did he call it thankless?
These Tang Tang'er naturally don't know, at this moment, Tang Tang'er gave Liu Erqiao an abacus, let her calculate, calculate how much money the shopkeeper will pay Zhang, don't wait for a month for this shop, close it now Yes, redecorating the shop can make it bigger.

Liu Erqiao timidly glanced at Tang Tang'er, who closed her eyes and rested her mind. Then she withdrew her eyes and carefully calculated. After the calculation, she pulled Qi Shi to discuss in a low voice, "Do you think the 120 taels is reasonable?"

Qi Shi also checked the nucleic acid carefully, then nodded, "reasonable."

Tang Tang'er opened her eyes, glanced at shopkeeper Zhang and shopkeeper Li, "What do you think!"

Shopkeeper Zhang and Shopkeeper Li were going to quarrel, but Tang Tang'er was so angry that he beat them up in the street, and then asked Qin Yue to tie them up.

"Forgot." Tang Tang'er raised her eyes and thanked Fuqi, then pulled out the cloth strips from their mouths.

Shopkeeper Zhang looked panic-stricken, he swallowed, "You better let me go, otherwise!"

"Otherwise I'm going to beat you up?" Tang Tang'er raised her eyebrows and asked impatiently, "Say, do you think it's okay?"

Shopkeeper Zhang naturally thought it was impossible!Not to mention 120 taels, he didn't even want to pay a penny, and he still felt heartbroken when his shop was burned down like that!
Shopkeeper Li felt that the amount of money was too little. Although he didn't participate, he was implicated after all. He winked at Shopkeeper Zhang.

Shopkeeper Zhang turned his head and fell silent!

"I don't think it's too good, so let's go for 500 taels! After subtracting the penny from the gambling shop, it's 490 taels, right!" Tang Tang'er also asked symbolically, before Zhang When the shopkeeper opened his mouth, Xie Fuqi blocked his mouth.

Tang Tang'er personally wrote the receipt, then folded it and put it away.

The shoe daddy who drove the car stopped the carriage, searched the body, and finally found 250 taels from the two.

"It's really two hundred and five!" Tang Tang'er threw the silver to play, and she advised, "If you plan on others, you have to plan to be counted by others. You must pay the rest within seven days, otherwise you can change your life in another county. Make sure you don't get caught by me."

Tang Tang'er said and asked Mr. Xie to throw his son off the carriage and walk away.

"They! It looks like they won't be able to get that much money, I'm afraid they will run away!" Tang Tang'er casually threw 250 taels to Liu Erqiao.
