Chapter 20: Pearls are fake

Early in the morning, the weeping willows in the courtyard secretly sprouted many tender green sprouts, and a breeze blew, and a scene of spring willows like smoke came to the face. A few swallows fluttered their wings and flew over, landed gently on the willow tree, and quietly lowered their heads against the branches.

When I opened the window, I saw such a peaceful scene. Unfortunately, this tranquility was immediately shattered.

Cuiyunxuan hadn't opened yet, but there was a quick knock at the door, "Open the door!"

"Who's dog is shouting nonsense!" Lingmu walked towards the door angrily, and before he could open the door, he called out.

Lingmu opened the door angrily, it opened yesterday, and today it was found faulty, really when they are easy to bully?

There were already a lot of people gathered at the door, Lingmu propped up on the side of the door, squinted around, and said angrily: "You said we sell fakes?"

Looking at the imposing spirit wood, everyone shook their heads again and again, pointed to the leader and said, "He said it." ”

The person who was pointed out looked at the people on both sides, his heart weakened for a moment, and then he strengthened his courage, raised his head and said, "What if I said it?

"Hmph, I think you don't want to live anymore, and you dare to slander us with empty words. Lingmu felt that she could pinch this person to death in minutes.

Mengli was watching the bustle, but the door of the room on the right was open.

Mengli greeted with a smile through the window: "Shopkeeper Jiao, it's early." ”

Ah Ren heard the voice and looked sideways, and said in slight surprise: "Mengli is early, the front hall is noisy, there should be someone making trouble, don't you go and take a look?"

"Lingmu Xu is impulsive, so please ask Shopkeeper Jiao to take a look. ”

Ah Ren nodded, and walked around the weeping willow to the antechamber.

"Come and see, this is the fake they gave me!" the man said, holding up a pearl. Everyone saw that this was not an ordinary pearl.

The man shouted, "This is the deep-sea colored pearl they gave yesterday!

Everyone is talking, is it fake?

"How do you prove that this pearl was given by me Cuiyun Xuan?" Ah Ren stepped forward.

The man craned his neck, took out a piece of jade from his arms, raised his head and said, "I came to buy this jade yesterday, and the shopkeeper gave me a deep-sea colored pearl." Who knows, after returning home, this deep-sea colored pearl accidentally fell into the salt water and faded! You are clearly profiteers!"

Ah Ren could see at a glance that the jade was indeed an object in the store. Then this person is deliberately pouring dirty water.

When everyone heard the man's words, they panicked, did they give them fakes...... I was in a hurry and wanted to go home and get salt water to try.

And some people couldn't help but start denouncing, "How can you Cuiyunxuan sell fakes, don't you say that fake one pays ten?

"Yes, compensate us!"

“......”

The man looked at the reaction of the crowd and smiled with satisfaction.

"Shut up, y'all of you!" Lingmu roared at the chattering crowd, "Do you think you're a finch of the family?" ”

With Lingmu's shout, everyone was quiet for a moment, this little guy was really fierce.

Ah Ren continued: "You don't have to worry. I Cuiyunxuan does not have a fake, even if it is given to everyone, it must be genuine. If you are not at ease, Jiao is here, and you can go home to pick up the goods for inspection. Jiao still said the same sentence, if you fake one pays ten, you will never break your word. ”

With Ah Ren's firm voice, everyone hesitated, everyone is fake one and pays ten, there should be no fake, could it be that this person is deliberately making things difficult for the shopkeeper?

Finally, someone stepped forward and said, "The shopkeeper will come home and try it later." ”

"Okay. Ah Ren nodded in response.

Two more left in quick succession and went home to get the pearls.

After a short time, the three of them returned, each retrieving the deep-sea colored pearl. Ah Ren led everyone into the store, Lingmu brought three bowls of salt water, and the three of them put their deep-sea colored pearls into their respective salt water.

For a long time, the pearls in the bowl showed no signs of fading.

Lingmu looked at the rumor-mongering man with contempt, "Didn't you say it was a fake? Why are other people's not fakes?"

The people watching the excitement on the side also pointed out the man.

Sweat gradually broke out on the man's forehead, his eyes flickered, and he suddenly said: "Perhaps, these three people are your trust!

"Then you say, who can prove it?Is the county lady enough?" Mengli stepped forward slowly, "Yesterday, the county lady also got two deep-sea colored pearls, why don't we go to the county office and ask her to try it too?" ”

"This, this...... That's not necessary. "He was just ordered to find a bad luck, but he didn't want to get into a lawsuit.

"Oh, really, no?" Mengli's clear eyes looked at the panicked man, "Aren't you a fake?"

"But, maybe it's a misunderstanding, maybe I'm taking it wrong, it's this ordinary pearl that fell into the salt water...... Hehe. The man said and stepped back to the door.

Lingmu stretched out his hand and pulled him back, and said unceremoniously: "You should be a stone? ”

"You have a good idea, you can come if you want to splash dirty water, and you can leave if you want to. How can it be so easy?" Mengli raised her hand and patted the hem of her skirt, and said casually, "If you don't want to go to the county office, then make it clear here, who made you spread rumors and slander Cuiyunxuan?"

In fact, when the man first entered the door, Mengli recognized him. He is the little guy who took a hundred taels of silver tickets yesterday, and she hasn't bothered Master Yu yet, so they will automatically come to the door first. It's reasonable, you have to treat it well!

"The shopkeeper laughed, who was instructed by anyone? I was mistaken. The man's eyes dodged, but there was no way out.

"Won't you say? Okay, Lingmu, take someone, let's go to the county office." ”

"Okay!" Lingmu dragged the man towards the door.

Everyone was shocked, this skinny little guy has really great strength, dragging a big living person is like dragging a broom.

The man instantly panicked and struggled, and said eagerly, "I said, I said...... He gave me a hundred taels and asked me to come to find your bad luck. Don't send me to the Yamen......"

Everyone gasped, although they had already guessed a little, but it was still shocking to say it so bluntly.

Master Yu's family has a big business, and he will find trouble with opening a new small shop, which is really a small belly. Moreover, he even used such a bad trick, which made people lose their credibility on the first day of opening, which is really not right.

Mengli winked at Lingmu, Lingmu put the man down, and stretched out his hand at the man: "It's okay not to go, what about the money?"

The man looked confused and asked suspiciously, "What money?"
