pampering wife

Chapter 152

Old Mrs. Wei looked at him in astonishment, "This is a matter of the Plum Tavern and the Duke's Mansion, how can you bother the King of England."

"The old lady doesn't know. Although Qu Qingmei opened this tavern, the owner behind it is the king." Seeing the growing astonishment on the old lady Wei's expression, he explained: "Qu Qingmei really has excellent craftsmanship. , but she doesn't have that kind of capital, but Ben Wang helped out because he saw the fun, and he can be regarded as the owner of the tavern. Who knows that someone who doesn't have long eyes dares to touch Ben Wang and Xin'er's head! The old lady can rest assured , this king will definitely find out and give the Duke’s Mansion an explanation.”

The righteous words he said made Mrs. Wei speechless.King Ying is not as easy to control as Qingmei, since he makes a move, the Duke's Mansion will take a backseat.

Several people chatted inside for a long time, Wei Xin showed no signs of waking up, Junli took Qingmei back to the Plum Tavern on the pretext of finding out the truth.

Talking about today's details on the road, Qingmei felt a little lost.Originally, he opened the tavern with full confidence, but who knew there would be such a head-on blow?The matter of Wei Xin's dismissal must naturally be found out. Judging by the current situation of rumors, I am afraid that the tavern's reputation will be discredited this time.Although some rumors are false, it is very troublesome to clarify and refute rumors. How easy is it to re-attract customers and build a good reputation?
What's more, Qingmei suddenly discovered that what she is good at now is brewing wine. As for how to run the tavern, if she manages the hired workers well, she has never studied it deeply before, and she is really lacking.Now it seems that there are too many people and it will be complicated, so she should be more careful.

It was already late afternoon when we arrived at Demeizi Tavern, because the rumors spread quickly, it attracted many people passing by to look around. Although the door of the shop was open, there were no drinkers.Qingmei was very frustrated, and ordered to close early, and took the hired workers to Huazhi Alley.

The wheat seedlings were trapped in the yard at the moment, and Mrs. Xu didn't have the heart to take care of the wine, so she could only wait in front of the door.Seeing that Qingmei came back with Junli, her heart finally fell back into her stomach, and she hurriedly came up to salute Junli, then asked Qingmei, "How is it?"

"Miss Wei took Mashoe Xiao by mistake, and we found it in our broken porcelain." Qingmei held Xu's hand, "I'm afraid someone deliberately planted it."

"This..." Xu was anxious, and subconsciously cast his eyes on Junli for help, and saw him holding Qingmei's hand, "Go in and have a look."

The gentle touch from the palm made Qingmei feel relieved a lot.Calling Mai Miao to the front for questioning, her rhetoric was exactly the same as before, but she trembled more violently, and she repeatedly called for injustice.But if it wasn't for the wheat seedlings, how could Horseshoe Xiao go to Wei Xin's wine for no reason?Qingmei is not good at this, but Junli is very familiar with it.

Everything is ready in King Ying's mansion, interrogating a little girl is a no-brainer.After interrogating the hired workers in the tavern one by one, the result was quickly obtained - the horseshoe was put in by Mai Miao when no one was looking.When she confessed, she cried hard, her thin body trembling non-stop, "My lord Mingjian, I was also persecuted, otherwise I would never have the guts..."

"Who?" Jun Li asked briefly.

"I don't know each other either. I only have a seriously ill mother in my family. He said that if I am obedient, he will treat my mother's illness, otherwise, he will kill us." Mai Miao kowtowed, "But I never intend to kill you." What Miss Wei meant, he said it was just a stomach ache, and it would be fine in a while." Mai Miao didn't know Wei Xin's condition, seeing how severe her seizures were after drinking, she thought Wei Xin was ill, and was scared to death.

"He asked you to poison Miss Wei?"

Mai Miao shook her head, "He said that it would be all right to choose a young lady, and it happened that Miss Wei wanted wine, so I..."

So this time it was Wei Xin who was unlucky to meet such a stupid girl.Jun Li was very annoyed, it was obvious that this person just wanted to cause trouble in the tavern, and with the rumors that spread quickly afterwards, the purpose was already obvious.However, there are many rich and noble people who come and go in the tavern. If this person dares to pick here to attack, he may have a strong background.

Although Mai Miao didn't know the identity of the person, she remembered the face. The artist drew the portrait according to her description, and Jun Li immediately asked someone to check.After searching layer by layer, the one who was finally found out was a street ruffian. He insisted that the owner of Ruixiang Pavilion on the opposite street was looking for him to harm the reputation of Meizi Tavern.

It was already late in the second day, and Jun Li just came over after visiting Wei Xin from Duke Wei's mansion, and he laughed angrily when he heard the report.Do you think he is a fool? Although Ruixiang Pavilion across the street is Qingmei's colleague, but the backer behind him is only a fourth-rank servant, where did he have the courage to do this trick?

The guards of the palace have a lot of experience, and their eyes are naturally poisonous. Seeing Jun Li like this, he said: "That ruffian is very cunning. Although he pretends to be a rascal, he is a practicing family man, and his brain is quick. Wang Ye, do you think?"

"Continue to interrogate! If you still don't tell the truth, feel free to use your methods. No matter who is behind him, don't worry about it!" When Jun Li spoke, his face was cold and his tone was very bad.At this moment of investigation, he vaguely guessed the person in charge, but the other party didn't speak, so he was not sure yet.
