Chapter 69: The Secret
Since before he came to the county office, Zheng Ze was told that those people failed to stir up trouble in Tangdong Restaurant, and the shopkeeper Zou attracted by Tang Dong defeated five with one enemy, and he actually beat several people to the ground.
He never thought that these five people were so tall and so unreliable, that they couldn't even beat a young man.
Now that it has happened, as long as he bites to death and does not let go, the five people have no other way to testify against him.
Zheng Ze sneered, "Is Shopkeeper Zou threatening me, but unfortunately, you have no evidence, and I have to accuse these five people of stealing my tokens and framing me and my wife." ”
Zheng is Mrs. Zheng's right-hand man, the son of the Zheng family, he has been loyal to the Zheng family since he was a child, and the net worth and life of the whole family are in the hands of Mrs. Zheng, so it may not be so easy to find loopholes from him.
The scene became a stalemate, and no one expected that an extremely simple case would be unable to start because there was no evidence.
"Master, I'm afraid this matter can't be closed, the Zheng family shamelessly pleaded not guilty, and the evidence provided by several deserters was not strong enough, and it was overturned at once, it seems that Tangdong Restaurant has to suffer this loss." The man in black, Ah Fei, judged the situation in front of him.
The rich old man shook the folding fan in his hand and said, "This Zheng family has a premeditated plan, looking for a few outsiders, I don't know where to come and go, I don't know where to go, and when the matter is successful, I will rectify the Tangdong Restaurant, and if the matter fails, I can't find them, it's really a good intention!" ”
"Miss, what shall we do? It's really infuriating, the facts are in front of them, they still deny it, the Zheng family is actually this kind of family style. Shuangxi listened to the conversation between Ah Fei and the rich man, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Tang Chu's hooded face was unclear, but Shuangxi could clearly feel that her young lady's anger was soaring.
The five big men in the hall panicked, they couldn't imagine that the evidence left behind was useless.
Mrs. Zheng and Zheng Ze, who were at ease, glanced at each other, and both saw smugness in each other's eyes.
Zou Shiyan, who didn't say a word, had a cold face, but he couldn't think of a solution in his heart.
He is a martial artist, what else can he do except take revenge afterwards?
The afterglow swept over the hat outside the hall, Tang Chu's dark clothes had not been changed today, and there were many traces of paint splashed on them, but this did not weaken her demeanor, and the figure under the white gauze hat was still so heroic.
Zou Shiyan has never been as angry with his clumsy tongue as he is at this moment, if he can speak like a crow, the good situation will not fall to the other party.
"Zou Shiyan, if you Tangdong Restaurant can't produce any more evidence, we will countersue you for false accusations, and these people have stolen my token, which can be described as a crime on top of a crime!" Zheng Ze sneered.
The green tendons on Zou Shiyan's forehead burst out, if it weren't for the yamen, he would have knocked Zheng Ze to the ground at this time.
"What kind of eyes are you, what, you want to hit me, come on, don't be cowardly!"
The vicious words tried to provoke Zou Shiyan word by word, and Zheng Ze's villainous appearance made many people present angry.
Tang Chu saw that the situation was already unfavorable to them, so he took the initiative to confront them.
"Lord County Order, the little girl Tang Chu, is the young owner of Tangdong Restaurant, and I have a few words I want to check with Mrs. Zheng."
Tang Chu knelt next to Zou Shiyan, lifted his hat, shook his head at him, and stopped the other party's raging anger with his eyes.
Zou Shiyan also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her come to the front of the hall, and in his heart, when it came to wisdom and strategy, Tang Chu was much stronger than him.
"If you have anything to say, say it quickly." After so long without results, the prefectural magistrate was also a little impatient.
Tang Chu smiled slightly, looked at Mrs. Zheng, and said with red lips, "Mrs. Zheng, the little girl is not talented, since this matter involves the Tang family and the Zheng family, there must be a result, otherwise you and I will lose our credibility in Suizhou, you say yes!" ”
Mrs. Zheng held her head high, and did not look at Tang Chu with her eyes, in the ears of an ordinary merchant's daughter, in her heart, the other party was not worthy of her son at all, if it weren't for her lord's attention to the other party's business methods and Tang Fuchang's position in the salt merchant's weighty position, how could he propose to "marry each other"?
Tang Chu saw that Mrs. Zheng was still taking Qiao at this time, it was really a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, and he was sure that he would not be able to fix her.
Tang Chu chuckled, and then said, "Mrs. Zheng, I heard that you loved yellow clothes when you were young, why don't you wear them now, my Tang family's ready-to-wear shop happened to have a batch of good materials recently, and I ordered someone to tailor one for you, so that you can go to Hanshan Temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha, and you will be glamorous!" ”
Tang Chu was very polite, and when the people in the hall heard her say this, they all thought that the Tang family was going to give up the lawsuit and make friends with the Zheng family.
Zheng Ze took it for granted, he looked at his wife, thinking that the matter was about to end, but found that his wife was trembling her hands and looking at Tang Chu in disbelief.
"You, what do you know?" Mrs. Zheng's eyes widened and she said dumbfounded, judging from the calm appearance when she first entered.
Tang Chu smiled shyly, and when she looked at Mrs. Zheng, she said softly, "In the sixth year of Yuande, outside Hanshan Temple, the yellow clothes are fluttering, and the sisters who have fallen into the water. ”
Hearing this, Mrs. Zheng felt her head be slammed down, and she seemed to have tinnitus.
At this moment, all the voices seemed to disappear, and only Tang Chu's magnified face was laughing wantonly in front of her.
Tang Chu's eyes seemed to be burning with a raging fire, illuminating the gloom in Mrs. Zheng's heart.
The unbearable memories of the sixth year of Yuande came to her heart, and Mrs. Zheng only felt shortness of breath and was terrified.
Tang Chu in front of her seemed to have turned into a demon, showing that dirty experience in front of her, reminding her of the wrong things she had done over and over again.
"Mrs. Zheng, what's wrong with you, but what's uncomfortable?" Tang Chu hugged Mrs. Zheng's trembling arms and said as if worried.
"Don't, don't touch me!" Mrs. Zheng seemed to have encountered a flood beast and pushed Tang Chu away with all her might.
Tang Chu fell to the ground, Zou Shiyan was distressed when he saw this, and hurriedly helped her up.
"Mrs. Zheng, what do you mean by that? Our young lady kindly supported you, but you treated you like this! Zou Shiyan said angrily.
"Ma'am, what's wrong?" Zheng Ze also stepped forward to greet him.
Tang Chu was helped by Shuangxi, who rushed forward, and knelt down again, and said with concern to Mrs. Zheng, who was mentally broken, "Mrs. Zheng either remembered the wrong thing she had committed, or I don't know if what happened in Tangdong Restaurant today has nothing to do with Mrs., can you please give Mrs. an explanation to the little girl?" ”
Tang Chu got up and asked questions one after another, but Mrs. Zheng had to answer her questions at this time.
