Chapter 54: Confrontation in court

As soon as Song Xinshu's words fell, he heard the official messenger shouting outside the crowd: "It's all scattered, and the government is handling the case!" ”

It turned out that the housekeeper took advantage of the chaos to run to report to the official and brought the messenger over directly.

A few people saw that the official messenger was coming, and their arrogance was far less arrogant than just now, and before Song Xinshu could say anything, he heard the two women say quickly: "Lord Guancha, we are good people in Jinling City, and we all ate the dim sum of the Subei Tea House to cause death, and they not only didn't care, but also injured our people!" ”

The official did not pay attention to the two women, but said, "You take these things of yours and follow me to the Taishou Mansion, and if you have any grievances to the Taishou, we will act according to orders." ”

I heard the messenger say that. A few people wanted to leave secretly, but the official was keeping an eye on them, and no one could escape.

Song Xinshu asked the housekeeper to clean up the gate and open as usual, so as not to affect today's business.

She didn't do anything wrong, so she was naturally not afraid, and she had already concluded in her heart that this was a false accusation from another tea house, so she would definitely let Taishou give herself an explanation.

The group walked to the Taishou Mansion, and before Song Xinshu entered the door, he was taken aside by the housekeeper of the Taishou Mansion.

When she walked behind the wall, she saw an anxious Fan, and she trotted over and grabbed Fan's hand.

Fan Shi looked her up and down, and saw that there was nothing abnormal before he spoke: "I heard Wu Ding say that someone was making trouble in front of your door, and I was shocked when I heard it, what is going on?" ”

"Godmother, I guess it was other tea houses that saw me robbing their business, so they deliberately framed me, I must get my innocence back!"

Fan patted Song Xinshu's hand and said: "Good boy, godmother believes in you, these people are just scoundrels, do you want to ask your godfather to deal with it directly, it will save you trouble." ”

"Godmother, when those people saw me not coming forward, they thought that I had done something wrong, I wanted everyone to know that I was right, and Subei Tea House was even more innocent!"

Fan nodded approvingly and said, "Good boy." ”

Song Xinshu has always been a character who does not admit defeat, and now she is the shopkeeper of the North Jiangsu Tea House, and she can't be weak.

She stood with them in the courtroom, awaiting the judgment of the Taishou.

After a while, Taishou came out of the back hall, sat down on a chair, glanced at the people below, and began to ask about what had just happened.

One of the women rushed to finish her grievances, and Taishou frowned and listened before asking Song Xinshu to speak.

Song Xinshu said it truthfully, she was not wrong in this matter, and there was no need to add oil and vinegar to distort the facts.

"Taishou, but my daughter is indeed sick because she ate something from Subei Tea House, this cannot be denied, my daughter only has one breath left now, maybe when someone will ......"

Before the woman's words were finished, she cried again, and Song Xinshu was about to have a physiological reaction when she heard the woman's crying, and she had goosebumps all over her body.

"Taishou, human life is at stake, why don't you ask Lang Zhong to take a look and see if the child is sick because he eats bad things."

If the child is really sick and only has one breath left, then she really feels sorry for this child who is being used.

Thinking that the child was dying, Taishou ordered Langzhong in his house to visit the patient, and then come back to report the truth.

Song Xinshu also followed, only to see that this was a very ordinary family, and the furnishings at home were also very ordinary, Song Xinshu paid close attention to it, and found that there were obvious traces of cleaning up in some places, and there was a packed package on the kang.

As soon as she entered the house, the woman did not first look at her daughter lying on the bed, but threw the package into the back room, and then went to see her daughter with tears in her eyes.

Song Xinshu went up to take a look, and found that the girl's face was really sick, and even her lips were bloodless, if it weren't for the slight rise and fall of her thin chest, she wouldn't have noticed that the girl was alive.

Lang Zhong took the girl's hand out of the quilt, closed his eyes and carefully checked the girl's pulse, and everyone stopped talking, waiting for the results of Lang Zhong's pulse diagnosis.

After a while, Lang Zhong slowly opened his eyes, but he didn't say anything about the little girl's condition, but said to everyone: "If there is anything, let's go back to the court and say, everyone, please." ”

Although Song Xinshu was anxious, he also knew that this was the rule of the Taishou Mansion, so he could only return to the court of the Taishou Mansion again.

Lang Zhong arched his hand and reported to Taishou: "Back to Taishou, the girl has obvious symptoms of food poisoning, and she is indeed dying. ”

Song Xinshu looked at the woman standing beside him, and found that there was a relieved expression on her face, but she quickly changed to a grief-stricken look.

"But." Lang Zhong continued. "According to the old man's diagnosis, the girl was poisoned only after eating extremely rotten food, and it could have been treated, but because of her weak body, she was unable to return to heaven."

Song Xinshu heard Lang Zhong say this, and hurriedly said: "If it's extremely rotten food, how can it not be eaten, and there are so many people in my store, it is impossible that everyone can't smell the smell of rotten food?" ”

"It can make people sick to this extent, and it seems that the food has rotted to a certain extent, and it is impossible to actively eat it." Lang Zhong added on the side.

The woman was obviously flustered, and hurriedly said, "Maybe you are a black shop, you did it on purpose!" ”

"Lang Zhong also went to your house to see the sick just now, is your family rich or powerful for me to covet, I want to deliberately murder your daughter?"

The woman was speechless when asked by Song Xinshu, and her eyes were full of panic.

Song Xinshu struck while the iron was hot and continued: "And there are signs of packing up at your house, and there are packed packages, your daughter is sick, what are you in a hurry to go out?" ”

The woman stammered, "My husband has something to do and I ......"

At this time, Zhang Guodong slapped Xingmu and said loudly: "Is your daughter sick from eating the dim sum of Subei Tea House, from the truth, if there is the slightest lie, you will be put in prison and tortured!" ”

The woman was frightened by Zhang Guodong all of a sudden, and she didn't know what to say for a while, as soon as Zhang Guodong waved her hand, an envoy next to her stepped forward and made a gesture to drag the woman away.

The woman was so frightened that she suddenly collapsed on the ground, and kept kowtowing to Zhang Guodong: "Too much mercy to his subordinates, the little girl Xu is...... Xu ate something she ate and ate badly, I don't know, I only saw her eat the pastries of Subei Tea House, the daughter is heartfelt, and please forgive me! ”

As he spoke, he kowtowed a few times, and Zhang Guodong said loudly: "I was supposed to give you thirty boards to make you have a long memory, but because you have a sick daughter to take care of, you will be exempted from these thirty boards. ”

The woman was busy kowtowing and thanking her, Zhang Guodong asked someone to take her down, and the rest of the people who helped to make trouble were each rewarded with 30 boards.

Song Xinshu couldn't see these "bloody" scenes, and after saying goodbye to Zhang Guodong, he ran to the backyard to look for Fan's, I'm afraid that the godmother was still worried at this time.

Song Xinshu's heart is grateful to Zhang Guodong and Fan, she can have everything now, she can't do without the help of the two, Fan's is lonely on weekdays, she comes and goes around more, and is lively and lively around her.

Song Xinshu returned to the tea house and asked Ah Ya to brew a cup of sweetened milk tea for himself as usual, and only after drinking it did he feel more comfortable.

The housekeeper presented today's account book, and the flow of water was a full half less than usual, it was this morning's farce that caused it, Song Xinshu sighed and put the account book aside.

"Will it not be long before everyone will remember this incident, and everyone will still come to our teahouse to drink tea then." Wu Xiuyuan said with a wink.

"But Jinling City says that it is not big or small, and people are terrible." Zhou Sheng has lived the life of an orphan and widow since he was a child, and he knows this best.

Song Xinshu held his chin and thought for a while, and felt that what Zhou Sheng said made sense, after all, good things don't go out and bad things spread thousands of miles, if you can still hold a press conference or something in modern times, you can only post a notice at the door here.

This matter was handed over to the housekeeper to do, and in order to meet the occasion, a three-day preferential activity was also opened to attract customers.

Just when Song Xinshu breathed a sigh of relief and stretched his waist and was about to go back to his room to rest, the guy sent by the housekeeper to inquire about the situation ran back, saying that the troublemakers who made trouble this morning had gone out of the city overnight, and the courtyard was empty.

These people walked very secretly, and even the neighbors around them did not hear the movement.

Song Xinshu had already thought of this, since they were entrusted by others, they must have gotten a sum of money, and if something like this happened, there was no way to live in Jinling City, so they could only take the money and fly away and live elsewhere.

I just don't know what happened to the child who was taken advantage of......

Thinking of the child's pale face, Song Xinshu's heart felt uncomfortable, after all, the child was innocent, but because of the interests of adults, he suffered like this.

Just when Song Xinshu was in a trance, the little guy who delivered the letter a few days ago came to the door again, and this time he still passed the word for Zheng Tianyi.

"The shopkeeper said that you must be present this time, otherwise he will bring the prepared wine and food to the gate of Subei Tea House."

Song Xinshu waved his hand with a headache, and the little guy left, how could this Zheng Tianyi's ghost not go away, there was really no time to stop.

She opened the letter, and the agreed place was the same as the last time, except that in this letter it said that he had a big gift for her.

What the hell is he selling?

Although I don't want to do it in my heart, I'm afraid that if I don't go this time, Zheng Tianyi won't give up, but how can she go in and out of that kind of place as a woman's house, isn't this known to the whole city.

Do you want to pretend to be a man and a rich man?
