Chapter Twenty-Seven: Evil Gets Evil Retribution
"What are you talking nonsense, I didn't collude with you at all, let alone instruct you to smash other people's stalls!" Shopkeeper Ge said, his eyes subconsciously glanced in the direction of An Xiabai, for fear that she would find out something.
He wants to use An Xiabai as the signboard of the restaurant, if something goes wrong and someone runs away, wouldn't it be a loss?
During the dispute between the two, Mo Simin appeared at the door of the Gejia Restaurant with Shen Ya and a young son, and several officials with him.
Li Dong was still confused in his heart, but now when he saw Shen Ya appear, the confusion disappeared, he grabbed the throat of the shopkeeper Ge, and roared: "Didn't you say that you didn't want to send me in at all, so why did Lord Shen appear here?" ”
Shen Ya stood outside the door, he had an excellent memory, and the people he had seen were basically unforgettable, and Li Dong was even more impressed because of the trouble he had made in An Xiabai's stall before.
What can't get in, he came here today because he heard that someone was making trouble in Gejia Restaurant, and he hurried here for fear of his life.
Shen Ya narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze swept over the restaurant, and at a glance he saw An Xiabai standing at the staircase on the second floor.
Why is she here? No wonder Mo Simin heard about the accident in the Gejia Restaurant just now, so he said that he had to let him come over, it turned out that they had already calculated?
"What kind of system is it to fight and brawl in broad daylight?" Shen Ya snorted coldly and ordered his two officials to take them down, and brought them back to the governor's yamen for personal interrogation.
Li Dong was so scared that he took a few steps back, picked up a stool casually, and said angrily: "Don't come here!" ”
The officials were not afraid of the gangsters in the market, and when they saw him resisting, they immediately drew their swords.
The bright blade scared Li Dong stupidly.
If Li Dong was killed by them, wouldn't his plan be frustrated?
Anxia was startled and ran downstairs with a bang.
Before she could speak, she saw the figure of the young man standing beside Mo Simin move, and when he reappeared, he was already standing behind Li Dong, with a folding fan in his hand against Li Dong's throat, and threatened with a cold expression: "If you obediently go to the yamen to cooperate with the interrogation, maybe there is still a glimmer of life, but not necessarily." ”
There was a gust of wind behind him, and Li Dong couldn't help but shiver: "I'll go back with you!" ”
An Xiabai, as one of the parties involved in the matter, also returned to the governor's yamen with the officials.
After Shen Ya asked the identity of the prisoners in the public court as usual, he went to the main question and asked why they were making a big fuss in the inn, and there was such a big commotion.
Shopkeeper Ge didn't speak, he knelt on the ground silently, his face was like ashes, but Li Dong, who was kneeling beside him, spoke enthusiastically.
"Lord Shen, here's the thing, I'm an idle gangster, a few days ago, Shopkeeper Ge suddenly found me, and asked me to help him do something, and promised me that he would help me repay my gambling debts after the matter was completed. I was desperate at the time, so I believed him, and helped him go to An Xiabai's stall to make trouble and smash the field, I did my best for him, but he turned out to be a bastard, not only did he not fulfill his promise after the fact, but also wanted to send me to prison! ”
The more Li Dong spoke, the more angry he became, he turned his head and glanced at the shopkeeper Ge, if it weren't for the fact that there were many officials in the court, and he was afraid of Shen Ya's official authority, he would have done it a long time ago.
An Xiabai's stall was disturbed and couldn't be opened, is this the reason?
Shen Ya turned to the shopkeeper Ge for confirmation: "Is it as he said?" ”
At this point, what is the use of quibbling, rather than dying, it is better to give an account of everything and seek leniency.
The shopkeeper Ge hummed in frustration, and frankly admitted that he did collude with Li Dong to frame An Xiabai: "I also had to make this decision for the sake of business, since An Xiabai opened a stall on the street, the guests knew that the food she cooked was delicious, and after the news spread over time, my family's business became worse and worse." originally wanted to recruit An Xiabai to the restaurant as a signboard, but she asked for too much wages, so she had no choice but to find another way. ”
When it was finally time for her to appear, An Xia Bai snorted coldly, stood up from the side, and fell to the ground with a plop: "Please also ask Lord Shen to make the decision for me, he smashed my signboard, resulting in business that can't live at all, who doesn't seek a livelihood in life, doesn't he cut off my way of life by doing this?" ”
Shopkeeper Ge snorted coldly, and muttered: "It's strange that your craftsmanship is too good, if it weren't for your stall blocking my financial route, why would it be so troublesome?" ”
What is the danger of adding to the sin?
An Xiabai tightened her willow eyebrows and knocked her head heavily.
Shen Ya sat in the public hall and looked slightly gloomy, a little distressed: "If you have something to say, you don't have to be so polite, the official will handle the case impartially and without favoritism." ”
"Shopkeeper Ge said that my stall was blocking his money, he was completely framing me, and his family's business was getting worse and worse, it was clearly his own problem!" An Xiabai pointed her head at the shopkeeper Ge, knowing that if she wanted to continue her business, she had to eradicate the obstacle of the shopkeeper Ge first, so she was not relentless.
Shopkeeper Ge was completely panicked, for fear that she would say something unfavorable to herself, so he angrily reprimanded: "You shut up for me!" ”
Shen Ya's eyes darkened, and his hand slapped on the table with a shocking sound, so shocked that the people present didn't dare to take a breath: "Shopkeeper Ge, you are the one who should shut up, and if you dare to disturb the court, carefully punish your crimes!" ”
Mo Simin stood on the side, and when he saw that the shopkeeper Ge had a sallow face, he couldn't help but applaud in his heart: "If you have anything else to say, just say it, leave him alone, if he interjects again, my whip can help Lord Shen share his worries!" ”
This time, Shopkeeper Ge finally shut up completely.
An Xiabai was secretly refreshed in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, he only coughed lightly and said what he saw and heard in the back kitchen of the restaurant: "I never thought that there was such a restaurant in the world, where the ingredients that rotted overnight were made into wine and dishes for human consumption, what is the difference between this and poisoning and murdering people's lives!" ”
Shen Ya opened the court to handle the case, and there were many people outside the door, and they began to talk about it one after another.
Because An Xiabai's description was so vivid, they could even imagine the scene, thinking that they had gone to Gejia Restaurant to eat, and some people couldn't help but start retching.
Shen Ya's face was not very good-looking: "You have no way to run your own business, and you are embarrassed to be jealous that other people's business is better than yours, and even use such unseemly means to harm others?" ”
In the end, because of the bad circumstances, Shen Ya sentenced Ge Zhang to pay An Xiabai money, and went to prison for a period of time, and Li Dong did the same.
Open the door to do business, what is important is reputation, things are so big, the kitchen of the Gejia restaurant is dirty and framing others, and it will soon spread to every corner of the town, and his family's business, I am afraid that it will not be able to do it in the future.
This is what An Xiabai wants.
The case was closed, and after everyone left the scene one by one, Mo Simin rushed to An Xiabai's side and asked for credit: "I don't count it as timely rain, I heard that there was an accident in Gejia Restaurant, so I pulled Shen Ya over to help you as soon as possible!" ”
"Count, I owe you another favor, I hope there will be a chance to pay you back in the future." An Xiabai smiled.
"Why not, I'm going to stay here for a long time, you have a chance!" Mo Simin said without modesty.
Shen Ya heard her voice from a distance, sighed and said, "You'd better not stay here for a long time." ”
Mo Simin looked surprised and said, "What do you mean by this?" ”
"Can you take a step to speak?" Shen Ya glanced at An Xiabai and the young son, and said in a low voice, "There is something about your father." ”
Like a cat that has been poked in the wound, Mo Simin became vigilant.
Before Shen Ya took her out of the hall, he turned his head and said to An Xiabai: "Today's case is solved, Miss An and Sheng Gongzi have helped me a lot, why don't I be the host, and invite the two of you to have a light meal." ”
In the end, he seemed to feel that it was inappropriate, and added: "The food is prepared by the cook at home, and I don't go to the Gejia Restaurant." ”
An Xiabai chose to shake his head without hesitation, saying that there was something at home, and the affairs of the stall had not been fully handled, so he couldn't accept Shen Ya's kindness.
Yesterday, Lu Li saw that he could be so sour when he was close to Shen Ya, and he would have to go to his house for dinner again, and it was estimated that the vinegar jar would be turned over after he went back, so forget it.
After she refused, the young son also rejected Shen Ya's kindness.
Shen Ya didn't force it, and took Mo Simin and turned around and entered the inner courtyard of the yamen.
"Lord Shen has something to say, I still have something to do, and I don't want to accompany me." When Mo Simin mentioned everything at home, his face sank.
"Lord Mo is kind to me, after he heard that you are here, he specially repaired the book and asked me to persuade you to go home early," Shen Ya said softly, "You are a girl's house, and you haven't left the pavilion yet, even if you know some martial arts in your hands, it's not safe to wander outside, so it's better to go back early, your family is very worried about your safety." ”
Mo Simin's expression moved slightly, and he snorted coldly: "I don't need Lord Shen to interfere in my family affairs, please don't meddle in my affairs!" ”
Before the words fell, she turned around and left, leaving Shen Ya standing in place with a complicated expression.
"Remember me, Lady Lu?" Ruqing came to An Xiabai's side, smiling and crooked.
How could An Xiabai not remember that it was not common for a woman to dress up as a man, not to mention that Ruqing was still a mountain bandit leader, so she was naturally impressed.
"Just call me Sunny." Ruqing is informal, allowing An Xiabai to call her name, they leave the yamen on the same road, on the road Ruqing has been talking in order to enliven the atmosphere, and An Xiabai has a match or not, and more often plays the role of a listener.
"You said that Shen Ya called Mo Simin over alone, is it a little interesting to her?" Ruqing raised her eyebrows and glanced back in the direction of the yamen.
An Xiabai nodded, Shen Ya and Mo Simin appeared together several times, maybe there was something really funny: "Lord Shen is good, it is a good home." ”
"I only thought Mo Simin was interesting before," Ruqing looked surprised, then squinted her eyes and smiled at An Xiabai, "I didn't expect you to be very interesting." ”
