Chapter Eighty-Three: What a Sin?

Coming back from the floor, the lights gradually went out a lot, and a fat man stood by the second gate, as if waiting for someone.

Xu Qing approached, and the man hurriedly knelt down and said, "The county uncle is above, and the grass man Zhuo Deao begged the uncle to atone for his sins!" ”

When I looked closely, it turned out to be one of the two wealthy businessmen brought over by Yang Wen, who was originally called Zhuo Deao. The two wealthy merchants and the dart head were left by Xu Qing to sleep in the Bofu of Luonan County for one night as a reward. This reward is not real, but it is more awesome to say - Luonan County Bo left me to sleep! It's like having dinner with a certain star at a banquet, and you can say that I have clinked glasses with so-and-so. This also needs to be humble, you can't sleep until dawn, you have to touch the light and get up and leave. When Yang Wen went back with the immortal brew, those darts and a wealthy businessman followed back, and only this Zhuo Deao was still there.

Xu Qing was puzzled, what did it mean to come to ask for guilt this big night, could it be that he broke the dishes and chopsticks? That's too much panic, it's not a palace. Xu Qing thought about it, stepped forward and said, "De Ao, Zhuo De Ao, well, good name." You have made more than 10 million profits for my Xu family, what is the crime? ”

Zhuo Deao, a wealthy businessman, didn't dare to get up, he still knelt, wiped his tears and said pitifully: "Uncle, the grass people are guilty, but they just concealed Steward Yang." Woo woo, now I see that my uncle is really so good to my subordinates, woo woo, I am grateful to Dade, and I risked my life to tell my uncle about it......"

When Xu Qing heard this, his head suddenly became bigger, what did he have to risk death to tell, he put away his face, and said with a straight face: "What do you say to hear it, alas, ......"

Zhuo Deao knelt on the ground and didn't dare to get up, sniffled, and must have really cried when he heard the sound. I just heard him say slowly: "Uncle, I am a Shangluo clan, I take care of the uncle's family property over there, and I also sell the sugar goods of the uncle's family, and there are people in Nanyang and Xiangyang who come to buy it." ”

Xu Qing waved his hand and motioned for him to get down to business.

Zhuo Deao said again: "Uncle, what I want to say is also related to human life. I don't know what's going on, there is a family in Nanyang who ate the candy we gave, and they died the next day, and the rest of the people also vomited and diarrhea. At that time, I sent a lot of money to suppress this matter, and in order not to offend Steward Yang, I didn't tell him. But a few days ago, another family died, and it was in Shangluo! ”

Xu Qing couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and asked: "Eating sugar and eating dead people is unheard of, you mean that Steward Yang released poison, so it's even more impossible?" ”

Zhuo De Ao said with trepidation: "No, uncle, I didn't suspect that Steward Yang was abnormal. It's just that there are many whispers in the market, and the sales of sugar in Hongshan Town have also dropped a lot. ”

Xu Qing waved his sleeves and looked up at Xinghan's brilliant sky. The Tang Dynasty also attached great importance to food safety, and there was a stipulation in the "Tang Law Discussion": "The preserved meat is poisonous, once sick, and the surplus will be burned quickly, and the offender will be ninety rods; If he eats and sells with a man, and makes him sick, he shall be imprisoned for one year, and the person who dies shall be hanged; That is, a person who eats himself to death, from the law of manslaughter. ”

If Xu Qing's sugar is poisonous, if it is stabbed out, Xu Qing can't explain it, so he can only push Yang Wen out to die. But how can Xu Qing have no bottom of his own things, where can it be poisonous, there must be something strange about this matter. Could it be that someone poisoned and killed people with the help of Xu Qing's sugar goods, or did someone deliberately slander "Xu Ji"?

Xu Qing thought about it, this Zhuo Deao dared to come and tell Xu Qing about this, how could he guarantee that Xu Qing would not be angry with him directly? Could it be that he already has relevant clues.

I saw Zhuo Deao kowtow and said, "Uncle, I have also investigated." The deceased's family was all contaminated with sugar, and the one who ate the most died, and the others were sick. I looked at the evidence at the county office, and I saw that the word "Xu Ji" was also printed on the fried rice candy, but it was just ......"

Xu Qing frowned and asked, "It's just what?" ”

Zhuo Deao said seriously: "It's just that the fried rice in the fried rice sugar is a little yellow, and the fried rice used in Hongshan Town is all high-grade Jiangnan rice that is as round as jade." It seems that the fried rice candy is imitated by others......"

Xu Qing groaned, indeed, the fried rice candy in Hongshan Town was printed with the word "Xu Ji", which indeed ensured the brand effect and reduced the impact of others' imitation. But this Xu Ji is relatively simple, and others can still imitate it. Once there are unscrupulous merchants who use inferior raw materials to make fried rice candy, and then print Xu Ji and sell it at a slightly lower price, they can also make money. But the people couldn't tell the truth from the false, they only said that Xu Ji's things had deteriorated, and even if there was a safety problem, they would put the blame on Xu Qing.

Therefore, some celebrities hit mosquitoes with cannons and sued a small restaurant that used his name, and the claim was very high, and this is the reason. didn't do anything bad, but caused a commotion, and blocked the gun for others in vain, who wants to?

Xu Qing decided to do something.

He said to Zhuo Deao, who was kneeling: "You get up first, you are indeed at fault in this matter, but I tell you to have repentance, and I will not punish you first." In the future, you should do a good job and make a mistake with merit. If you encounter such things in the future, you still have to tell Yang Wen in time. ”

Zhuo Deao kowtowed again, stood up, and took a long breath, as if he had unloaded a thousand catties of burden. Just about to leave, Xu Qing asked again: "Zhuo Deao, slow down,"

Zhuo Deao was startled, turned around and lowered his head and asked, "Uncle, what else do you have to order?" ”

Xu Qing smiled, signaled him not to be nervous, and then said, "De Ao, you said you are a Shangluo clan?" ”

Zhuo Deao nodded slowly.

Xu Qing asked again: "Then do you know about Shangluo Paper Factory!" Xu Qing was thinking that the rice candy produced in Hongshan Town was too poorly packaged, especially low-end goods, just wrapped in straw paper. If you use printing to print colorful patterns on the packaging, or even write a story that spreads positive energy, and then sell it, then you don't have to worry about being imitated.

Zhuo Deao nodded and said: "I know, I know, I know all the industries under my uncle's name, although Shangluo Paper Factory is losing money, it is also helpless." ”

"How helpless?"

"Alas, we Shangluo have few readers in recent years, the paper factory can't sell much paper, the labor is expensive, and the materials are not cheap, so we are losing money. In fact, as long as there are enough people to buy paper, it is a good factory to make money. Our Shangluo's paper is also well-known! ”

Xu Qing said with a smile: "I have already called the people from Shangluo Paper Factory to come over, you will live in the county mansion temporarily, and discuss something together when the time comes." Oh, by the way, what you're talking about today is right with the help of the paper mill......"

Although Zhuo Deao had doubts, he didn't dare to ask, nodded and then retreated.

Xu Qing looked around, saw the lights go out, couldn't help but look cold, wrapped up in clothes, and went back to the house to rest. No, it's going back to the house to sleep, and sleeping is not resting.
