Seeing that Lin Xiang'er couldn't listen to the persuasion at all, Shopkeeper Han couldn't help but shake his head.

This Lin Xianger is a village girl, and she doesn't have any vision at all, let alone any vision and overall situation. At the beginning, he received an order from above to help Lin Xiang'er open a store, but after listening to Lin Xiang'er's plan, he directly shook his head and refused.

If they want to open a hot pot restaurant, they can research a taste comparable to Xunwei Ji by themselves, so there is still a lot of competition. But Lin Xiang'er refused, saying that she wanted to use the taste that Lin Ruan made by herself to defeat Lin Ruan, so that it would be more enjoyable.

Although the purpose of opening this store is not to make money, Lin Xiang'er is really not a way to do this. After all, their master's silver is not blown by the wind.

Lin Xiang'er was irritable and walked back and forth in the private room, and suddenly stopped and asked, "How many days does the plan over there take?" ”

Shopkeeper Han said coldly: "This is not for you to inquire, please pay attention to your identity." ”

Lin Xiang'er was suffocated, and she was even more upset.

No, no matter what method she uses, she has to leave Lin Ruan in Qingzhou City!

In the middle of the night that night, a few figures sneakily touched the alley in the backyard of Xunweiji, splashed buckets of tung oil on the wall, and then one of them took out a fire fold and lit the tung oil.

Lin Ruan was asleep, when she suddenly came in and woke her up: "County master, the store is running water." ”

"Walking on the water?" Lin Ruan immediately came to his senses, lifted the quilt and got up and began to put on his clothes, asking while busy, "What's the matter?" How can a good one go out of the water? What is the fire? Is there anyone trapped inside? ”

While helping to dress her, Fei Xi said: "The fire is very big, and several people are trapped, but people have been arranged to rescue her, but the shops next to it have also been implicated." ”

Lin Ruan's heart tightened, the house burned down was a trivial matter, and if he hurt someone, it would be troublesome.

After cleaning up in a mess, they didn't even have time to comb their hair, so Lin Ruan and Xiao Jingchen rushed to the front of the store.

The fire was raging, and the guys in the store and nearby residents rushed over to help put out the fire. The place where Xunwei Ji is located is still some distance from the river, so it is not practical to go to the river to fetch water to fight the fire, and nearby businesses and residents have opened their doors to let them get water to fight the fire.

Lin Ruan didn't bother to see what the store was burned into, and quickly found Lin Fu who was burned: "Uncle Fu, how are you?" Is the injury serious? ”

When Lin Fu escaped, he was injured by the tiles that fell from the house, and the injury was on his forehead, and his face was bleeding, which looked a little scary.

"Don't worry, big girl, I'm fine, it's just a little skin trauma."

Lin Ruan was relieved to see that he was conscious: "Have all the people in the store come out?" Were any of the injuries serious? Did all the people from the store next door come out? ”

Lin Fu nodded: "It's all out, I have specially checked, and there are a few injured, but they are not serious." I also asked the people in the store next door, and they were all fine. ”

Lin Ruan put her mind at ease, it's okay if the person is fine, the house can be rebuilt if it burns, if the person is gone, how can she explain to the family members of others. Even if someone sells herself to her, it is still a fresh life.

Xiao Jingchen was responsible for directing the manpower to fight the fire, while Lin Ruan arranged for the manpower to mobilize the carriage and horses to come over and send the injured to the infirmary.

By the time the fire was extinguished, the sky was already slightly bright.

The backyard of Xunwei Ji was completely reduced to ashes, and part of the shop in front of it was also burned, and the remaining part could no longer be used, so it had to be torn down and rebuilt.

For the two shops next to it, more than half of them were also destroyed, and the losses were heavy.

Xiao Jingchen asked people to investigate the cause of the fire, and Lin Ruan actively approached the owners of the two shops to negotiate compensation.

Although the cause of the fire is still unknown, the fire spread from Xunwei Ji to both sides, so she has to take the initiative to take the responsibility of compensation, so that the neighbors on both sides can minimize the damage.

The neighbors on both sides, one runs a cloth village, and the other operates calligraphy, painting, brush and ink, both of which are profitable businesses, and there are many inventories, and it takes a lot of time to take inventory.

Lin Ruan saluted to the owners of the shops on both sides, and the two of them hurriedly turned sideways to avoid: "County lord, you can't do it." ”

Lin Ruan smiled apologetically: "Two neighbors, I'm really sorry, because of the reason of Xunweiji, you were implicated and suffered heavy losses." ”

The two owners are also reasonable people, and Lin Ruan's face is big enough, so the two are very polite: "The county lord is serious, and the loss of Xunwei Ji is the heaviest in this matter, and the county lord still wants to open some, and the house is not built again, fortunately, the people in the store are all good." ”

Lin Ruan nodded very approvingly: "Yes, it is a blessing in misfortune, but I will never let the two neighbors bear the responsibility." I also asked the two of them to go back and carefully count the burned goods, calculate the price, and also ask the two of them to provide the flow of accounts at this time last year, so that I can compensate the two for the loss. ”

One of the proprietors hurriedly waved his hand: "The county lord doesn't have to be like this, although the front of my shop has been burned a little, it will not affect the normal business, just repair it." ”

Another person also hurriedly chimed in: "There is really no way to do the things in the warehouse, but the impact of the store in front is not great. ”

Lin Ruan said: "Although I said that, but the inventory was destroyed, the impact on the business is still great, and now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, no store is counting on making more money in these two months." So the two owners don't have to be polite to me, they can be counted as they should. Moreover, when I find out the cause of the fire, it may not be clear who is responsible for the loss. So if the two of you are polite to me, it may not be me who will be cheaper at that time. ”

As soon as the two of them heard this, they immediately understood the meaning, and immediately indicated that they would check the losses when they went home, and then find out last year's flow accounts.

Seeing that the matter was satisfactorily resolved, suddenly several officials came to the door, saluted Lin Ruan and said, "County Lord Youning, Lord Chen asked us to invite you over." ”

Lin Ruan asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The official bent down and laughed with him: "Someone went to the yamen to beat the drum, saying that it was Xunweiji who deliberately set fire to the fire, almost harming the innocent, and asked the county lord to give an explanation." ”

Lin Ruan frowned, who is so boring?

The two owners who were discussing with Lin Ruan were also confused, could it be that in addition to the two of them being implicated last night, other people were also affected?

Lin Ruan saw that the officials were embarrassed, so he said, "A few poor masters, I'll go with you." ”

The two owners also said: "Let's go and have a look." ”

When they arrived at the yamen, they saw a woman standing in the hall. Hearing the footsteps, the woman turned around, and Lin Ruan couldn't help but want to roll her eyes.

Is this Lin Xiang'er sick in the brain!

Her side tiles haven't fallen off, so it's her turn to sue?
