Suncheon Street is the only commercial street in the inner city of Lin'an, and because of the limited number of shops, the government has strictly controlled the types of shops. For example, this kind of two-storey restaurant is only allowed to open two on the entire Suncheon Street, and if you want to open a third one, the only way is to buy one of the ones that has already opened.

If you really want to do business, and you don't have a shop on Suncheon Street, you can only go to the outer city.

The restaurant in front of me is called Baipinxiang, which was brought over by Mu when he married into the Yipin General's Mansion.

Although the Mu family is not in Kyoto, since their daughter has a marriage contract with the Yipin General's Mansion, they began to prepare a dowry for their daughter.

In fact, there are a lot of marriages in the Mu family, but there is only one shop in Beijing, fortunately, because the shop is a two-story small single building, which is big enough, and its predecessor was a restaurant, which is very profitable. So even if there is only one, it can make enough money for M Moser.

After all these years, Mu Shi did not personally participate in the operation, and the restaurant has been managed by a shopkeeper who was married by the Mu family. The annual profit is very considerable, and it is on the profits of this restaurant that M Moser has saved a rich dowry and dowry for his son and daughter. Otherwise, you will count on the crooked old lady of the night, and her children will not get much from the father-in-law.

But since the general died, the old lady could think about the property under her name, and this restaurant was even more eyeing it for a long time, and finally got it on the day when Ye Wenyan was going to get married. In a hurry, he changed the title deed and completely took possession of it.

Now Baipinxiang is still called Baipinxiang, but all the people who do things in it have been changed. Ye Wenyan heard Mu Shi say that the former shopkeeper had gone back to Mu's house, because she really had nowhere to settle down, and she couldn't stay if she wanted to.

These people who can be replaced are very interesting, they are not the servants of the Ye family, nor are they the shopkeepers and men hired outside, but the maiden family of the old lady Jiang family.

Shen'er pointed to the woman who was sitting on the ground in the restaurant and said, "That seems to be the old lady's niece and daughter-in-law, and the slave maid also heard from Ali this morning." Didn't the young lady ask the slave to find someone to inform the old lady to come this way, and the slave and maid let Ali go. Ali was very careful, and after talking to the old lady, he walked slowly, and the more he heard, he heard the conversation between Jun Tao and the old lady, saying that this restaurant is now in the hands of the old lady's nephew and niece-in-law. ”

The two walked in while talking, and the old lady also followed behind, but as soon as they came in, they saw that the official messenger was also in the restaurant, and the shrew was sitting around the ground and said loudly: "It's useless to sprinkle, report the case to the lord of Guiyue County, and if you have anything to say, go to the court to say!" ”

When the woman heard that she was going to the court, she howled even louder: "I will not go to the court!" Why go to court? We do business honestly, but we are slandered, you are an official of the Northern Qi Dynasty, not to your own people but to outsiders, why are your elbows so crooked? What benefits did the Returnees give you that could make you so disgraced? ”

The old lady stopped and took two deep breaths, she was really angry when she walked in, what happened to her niece and daughter-in-law who didn't have a brain? How dare you say such a thing in public? Crazy?

Jun Tao also realized that this was not good, so he hurriedly turned around and instructed the guys in the store: "Go and close the door, if it is not open today, send someone to guard outside and explain to the guest officers who come and go." ”

The guys went to do it immediately, but unfortunately it didn't work out, because Jiang Wanting and Chi Feifei were standing at the door. As soon as he saw someone coming to close the door, Chi Feifei was first anxious: "Stand there for me!" The officials are here, and it is not your turn to close the door or not. What's the matter, you want to lock us all up in a restaurant and let you go crazy, right? I look at the one sitting on the ground and I'm going to beat someone, if we close the door and we get beaten, what's going to happen? ”

Jiang Wanting also followed: "Since it is a case, then it will be tried fairly and openly, and we must ensure that there is no fussiness here from the very beginning." It's hard to say if you close the door, and those who don't know think that our Northern Qi is going to be unfavorable to the Lord of Guiyue! Northern Qi can't carry this pot, so this door must be open, no matter how many people are watching, it must be open! ”

The guy who closed the door had no choice but to retreat. The old lady wanted to say something, but saw Jun Tao shaking her head at her.

She endured it, knowing that it was not good to say anything at this time, so it was better to see what was going on first.

Fortunately, Feng Zhaolian also spoke at this time, and saw that the county lord of Guiyue was sitting on a table by the window in the lobby on the first floor, wearing moon-white men's clothes, but his hair was still feminine, and he even had earrings on his ears. The men's clothes are a little bigger, and although they are tied with a waist seal, they still look dangling.

She slapped the table and attracted everyone's attention: "What a howl, it's like I bullied you, master." It's obvious that I'm a young master today, I came to your restaurant to eat and was slaughtered by you, I haven't howled yet, are you howling? ”

Feng Zhaolian has always been merciless when she speaks, and she never cares what kind of words a girl should say or not, this little master and little master made the old lady's scalp tingle when she heard it.

"Now that the official messenger is here, and the old lady is also here, then the county lord will re-discuss this matter today." Feng Zhaolian slapped the table again, and every time she patted the old lady's heart, her heart trembled. I heard Feng Zhaolian say, "Listen, today, the county lord came to this Baipinxiang to eat wine, and I asked for a bowl of eight-treasure ginseng chicken soup, which is said to be the most expensive dish in this restaurant, and specially wrote a list of ingredients to show me." ”

She took a piece of paper on the table in her hand, "Look, it's clearly written on it, take a fifty-year-old ginseng or two and put it in the soup." Fifty years of ginseng, let's not say whether there is enough one or two, come and come, come and see, is this ginseng fifty years old? ”

Feng Zhaolian picked up the chopsticks as she spoke, and took out a little bit of small ginseng seedlings in the soup.

Ye Wenyan stepped forward and took a look, "Yo, it's not even five years." ”

"That's it!" Feng Zhaolian slapped the table again, making the old lady's heart jump out. "Something that hasn't been in five years, pretending to be fifty years for me? Although fifty-year-old ginseng is not worth much, after all, it is just a soup, and it is not good if the year is too long, so the master thinks that it is okay for you to ask me for five hundred taels of silver for this dish. ”

"You wait a minute!" Ye Wenyan interrupted her, "How much?" ”

"Five hundred taels of silver."

As soon as these words came out, there was no need for Ye Wenyan to be surprised, and those officials were all anxious - "Five hundred taels of silver? Even if it's a 50-year-old ginseng, taking one or two to make soup won't be at this price! ”

The woman sitting on the ground cried out, "Can you handle it?" We'll sell it at this price, and if you can't afford it, don't eat it! ”

"Huh." "I can't afford to eat for fifty years, but if it's only five years, I can still afford to take one or two to make soup." So we have to go to court to discuss why you use five years of ginseng, but you tell the guests that it is fifty years. It's fraud and it's going to jail. ”

As soon as she heard that she was going to prison, the woman was frightened, and her husband, who was standing next to him, was also afraid, so he quickly said: "It's none of our business, we are in charge of this shop, and as for what dishes to sell and how much to order, the owner has the final say, we don't care!" ”

The old lady began to take a deep breath again, he really wanted to pry this nephew to death with a hammer. However, this ginseng is shoddy, but what happened to the poisoning mentioned before? Who poisoned the Lord of Guiyue?

She subconsciously looked at Feng Zhaolian's place, only to feel that this Guiyue County Lord had a ruddy face and a loud voice, not like poisoning! Eighty percent of them are deceitful!

The old lady secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it was good to deceive people, as long as it was not really poisoned, she didn't want to pursue it.

At this time, Feng Zhaolian, who was sitting at the table, spoke again: "Not only this dish, but also other dishes in this restaurant have problems. For example, this fried mutton, you can take a look, is this mutton? I look like pork when I eat it, and I can only smell the mutton when I smell it. In addition, my stomach hurts now, it hurts so much that I sweat on my head. ”

She stretched her head forward as she spoke, and an official was particularly cooperative, and after taking a look, she said, "It's indeed sweating, how can you sweat on such a cold day?" It hurts. ”

Feng Zhaolian nodded, "You're so right, so I suspect that these dishes are poisonous and must be strictly investigated." ”

This is not the end, Feng Zhaolian pointed to the wine jar again, "This, a hundred-year-old daughter is red!" I drank it as if it were a hundred days, and I took it back to the government to check. ”

The official nodded immediately, and very carefully sealed the wine jar and held it in his arms. As for the drinks and dishes on the table, they were all carried in food boxes by special people, and they were packed in together with the dishes.

The food and drinks are all loaded, and the next thing is the people in this restaurant.

The official at the head waved his hand: "All the guys are taken away, and no one is left!" ”

Someone asked, "What about these two?" They are in charge. ”

The official said again: "Naturally, we will take it away together!" Fraud and murder are felonies, either one! Going to prison is light, and if it is really convicted of poisoning, it must be beheaded! ”

"Ahh The woman sitting on the floor broke down, wailing and weeping, and kept kicking her feet, like a child who would not eat candy and play tricks on the street. But a child still has to be educated by adults, let alone an adult who knows everything about the law and breaks the law.

No one sympathized with her, until two officials went up and set her up.

Her husband on the side couldn't stand it anymore, he didn't look at the old lady of the night, he just closed his eyes, and immediately shouted loudly: "Don't kill us, I say, I say it all!" ”
