18. Chapter XVIII
Ruan Huizhen and Lin Hui just walked to the door and saw those people. Except for a short, bald fat man in a satin robe, everyone else wore short shirts and trousers, and several others wore the clothes of the patrol house and held batons in their hands.
The bald fat man saw Ruan Huizhen and them, and pointed directly at Lin Hui, "It's her, it's she who sent vinegar to our shop, and that's why it's a problem." ”
When Lin Hui saw the man, her face was full of panic.
Ruan Huizhen said, "Don't worry, it's okay." "I think she traveled north and south back then, and she hasn't experienced anything. This is obviously to find fault.
The people from the patrol room came over, and the first one was tall, with a cold face, and swarthy eyes glanced at Ruan Huizhen and Lin Hui, and said in a deep voice, "The shopkeeper of Qinglong Restaurant said that the vinegar you sent was poisonous, and a few people began to have diarrhea after eating it. Come with us. ”
Ruan Huizhen didn't know if these people who patrolled the house had collected money from this Qinglong Restaurant. After all, in this era, the patrol room seems to be quite dark.
If you go, you will definitely be offended, and you will have to be at the mercy of others.
Seeing Lin Hui looking scared on the side, she pulled Lin Hui behind her, looking up at this tall 'head catcher'. "The auspicious vinegar workshop is mine, this vinegar is from our vinegar factory, if it is really our vinegar problem, we will definitely not shirk the responsibility. But now it's just a side of this Qinglong Restaurant. Who knows if it's their own ingredients that are wrong, so they put the blame on us. The patrol room is a place to preside over justice, so I don't think I will listen to it and believe it. ”
The man frowned, his eyes looking at this Ruan Huizhen who was looking up at him. It was the dark and thin patrolman beside him who said, "Yo, you're quite bold." We're looking for you in the patrol room to ask questions, and we'll talk about what you have to say. ”
"I'm not a prisoner now, I just want to prove my innocence now." Ruan Huizhen insisted. "I believe that the patrol room in the provincial capital will not embarrass any innocent person, since Qinglong Restaurant said that we have a problem with vinegar, I can try it myself."
The bald fat man walked over, "Hmph, who knows if you put the poison in my vinegar jar alone." ”
"Then I'll go drink your vinegar." She looked at the bald fat man and said arrogantly, "Do you dare? ”
"Heh," the tall 'head catcher' just now suddenly laughed, with a somewhat playful smile on his face, "Okay, I'll let you go and drink vinegar." ”
"Head, don't talk nonsense with her." The dark, thin patrolman said.
"It's okay, let her try." 'Headcatcher' waved his hand. After speaking, he looked at the bald fat man, "Zhu Changgui, you have no opinion." ”
Zhu Changgui hurriedly said, "No, she dares to try, what don't I dare." Anyway, the vinegar is poisonous, and I've tried it with a cat. Our backyard cats are dying. ”
The corners of Ruan Huizhen's mouth twitched, "Then lead the way." ”
Lin Hui was a little worried. No matter how stupid she is, she knows that people are prepared. I'm afraid that even if the vinegar is okay, it is still problematic now.
It's a shame to think about it, if she hadn't taken over the business, she wouldn't have this trouble now. Huizhen only came back on the first day today, and said that she would make the vinegar factory's business bigger. After this incident, I don't know what will happen.
Xiaohui also worriedly took Ruan Huizhen's hand.
Ruan Huizhen reassured, "You don't have to worry, we are not afraid of shadows." I said it's okay, it's okay. ”
After these people left, in the alley not far away, several men in green shirts walked out. The two who took the lead kept looking at the direction where Ruan Huizhen and they left. One of them said, "What should I do, do you want to save people?" ”
The other shook his head, "Let's see, I don't think the woman is worried at all." Let's go over and have a look. The boss said, don't let people find out about us. ”
"Alright, let's go over and have a look. If something happens, let's rush forward and save people. We can't let people have an accident, or the boss will really shoot us. ”
The restaurant is really not far from Ruan Huizhen's vinegar shop, only a street and a corner. The newly opened two-story small restaurant, the red light building outside is still hanging high. But there were no guests at this time. Zhu Changgui complained when he arrived at the store, "If it weren't for the problem with your vinegar, our business would not be so bleak." ”
Ruan Huizhen snorted, "We don't carry this pot." ”
"Poof." Several people in the patrol room covered their mouths and laughed.
Zhu Changgui was even more angry. "Hmph, don't be complacent, don't you want to drink vinegar, you drink your own poisonous vinegar." After speaking, he beckoned a young man to come over, "Go and bring out the jar of vinegar from the auspicious vinegar workshop, and let this woman know that she can drink it." ”
The guy slipped to the back.
Lin Hui pulled Ruan Huizhen, and Ruan Huizhen patted her hand lightly, signaling that it was okay.
She glanced at the few people in the patrol room next to her, especially the tall man, and secretly wondered if the people patrolling the house had been bribed. This person doesn't seem to want to be a rooster or a dog thief, but people can't look good, who knows.
Fortunately, she has a backhand, and under the audience, she can be safe and sound this time.
The guy came out with the vinegar jar and gently placed it on the table.
The mouth of the altar has been opened. A sour smell of vinegar dissipated. Ruan Huizhen went over to take a look, and the stall did have her own trademark on it, which she asked Lin Hui to do at the beginning, and leaving the logo of the shop on her vinegar jar was also a kind of publicity.
"Is it our vinegar?" Ruan Huizhen asked Lin Hui next to her. Lin Hui walked over and sniffed it, and nodded, "Hmm." "It's just that there is some hesitation and worry on his face.
"How's that, dare you drink?" Zhu Changgui said with a smug face. He didn't believe that this woman really dared to drink. It's better to drink it, and when the time comes, they will be poisoned by their own vinegar, and it just happens to be blamed on their heads. When something happens to this woman, won't Lin Hui have to beg him at that time?
Ruan Huizhen glanced at him, walked over and put his hand on the mouth of the altar, "Since you said that this vinegar is poisonous, then I will drink it myself." If anything, then we admit it. But if it's okay, how can this matter be calculated? ”
Although she said this to Zhu Changgui, her eyes looked at the people in the patrol room.
The 'leader' said, "If it's okay, it's none of your business." ”
"Then I wasn't splashed with dirty water for nothing. Today, when there is such a scene, the neighbors can't figure out the situation, who will dare to buy my vinegar at that time? This is ruining our family's livelihood. ”
"What do you mean?"
"I'll drink this vinegar later, and ask Zhu Changgui to let your guys shout, and call all the neighbors nearby, let's cut off this matter in front of everyone."
"You woman, why are there so many things?" Zhu Chang was very noble. If it weren't for the presence of the people in the patrol room, he would have smoked an ear scraper a long time ago.
Ruan Huizhen glanced at him, "If you don't look for trouble, I don't have so much trouble." Do you dare to call someone? Or do you have a weak heart, so you don't dare to let people know? ”
"What don't you dare, hum, Lao Tzu will convince you today." Zhu Changgui snorted.
After speaking, he waved his hand and greeted the guys in the store, "Go, those gongs and drums go around the neighborhood and greet people, let's invite everyone to watch a good show today." ”
When the guys went out, Ruan Huizhen and Lin Hui sat at the table and guarded the vinegar jar. Except for Lin Hui, who was a little worried, Ruan Huizhen looked calm.
Lin Hui whispered, "Huizhen, let me drink it later, I also drank a lot when I was a child, and I am not afraid of that smell." "If it's poisonous, you can't poison Huizhen.
"It's okay, I'm the owner, and my drink is the most powerful proof."
Lin Hui wanted to say more, Ruan Huizhen shook her head at her.
The people who patrol the house were a little impatient. One of the black and thin patrolmen said, "Boss, let them continue to make trouble?" ”
The man lit a cigarette, put it in his mouth, lit it with a match, and took a puff. Squinted at Ruan Huizhen for a while, "It's okay, wait." ”
"Oh." The little patrol felt bored, and he also felt that the boss was really wrong today. I usually hate other people's grinding, why are you so patient today.
At this time, there was still very little entertainment, and when I heard that there was a good show, the seven aunts and eight aunts, three uncles and four uncles who were idle nearby all came.
Soon, a group of people gathered outside the door of Qinglong Restaurant.
Ruan Huizhen asked people to take out the vinegar jar, and poured a bowl of vinegar out of the jar in front of everyone. Picking up the vinegar, she said loudly to the crowd of onlookers, "Everyone, I am the owner of the auspicious vinegar factory. Today, someone in this Qinglong restaurant was eating and was poisoned. ”
Hearing this, Zhu Changgui almost gasped for blood.
The people below started talking and began to point fingers at the restaurant. Ruan Huizhen said with a smile, "This shopkeeper Zhu said that there was a problem with the vinegar in our vinegar workshop, and he pushed this matter to our auspicious vinegar workshop." I've always been above board, and if it's really our family's business, I'm absolutely unambiguous. But I definitely don't believe that there is something wrong with our vinegar, in order to prove the innocence of our vinegar factory. Today, in front of everyone, I will drink the poisonous vinegar that Shopkeeper Zhu said, and everyone will see if I will be poisoned. ”
After speaking, he picked up the bowl and drank the vinegar in the bowl in front of everyone.
What sour! endured a heavy sourness, and looked at the mouth of the bowl at everyone. Said that he had already drunk vinegar.
Seeing this, Zhu Changgui had a sneer on his face. You little won't be able to laugh later!
Lin Hui looked at Ruan Huizhen worriedly, and the other people present also watched Ruan Huizhen's reaction nervously, just waiting for her to be poisoned and fall.
Even the people patrolling the room were a little nervous.
However, ten minutes passed, and nothing happened......
