Chapter 216: Farce

Hearing this, Jingzhao Mansion Yin couldn't help but pat his head.

It's hard to be a Beijing official!

This Jingzhao Mansion Yin is even more difficult to do!

Whatever happens, the official rank of the owner of this matter is not small, and it is not good for him to favor either side. But if neither side is partial, and the owners do not agree, he has no choice but to be a peacemaker in the middle.

"Is there a misunderstanding here?" Nafu Yin asked tentatively, "Why did the owner of this Xixiang Hall sue you Li Family Incense Shop for stealing their incense recipe?" ”

"No misunderstanding!" Shi Jinxiu, who heard this, sneered with the Jingzhao Mansion Yin, "Someone really stole the incense recipe." ”

When Li Yan heard this, he rushed to Jingzhao Mansion Yin as if he had grabbed a handle: "Did you hear that?" She kind of admitted! ”

"Who said I confessed?" Shi Jinxiu rolled her eyes and glared at Li Yan, "I just said that someone stole the incense recipe, but did I say that it was me?" "Isn't it uncle, you're a thief shouting to catch a thief!"

"Who else could it be if it wasn't you? Otherwise, our Xixiangtang has just been on the new incense for two days, why is this Li family incense shop sold cheaply all over the streets and alleys? Li Yan asked loudly.

"You put on a new incense?" Shi Jinxiu raised the corners of her eyebrows, "I'm afraid Uncle hasn't figured it out until now!" Those are the incense that we have produced in Xinxiang Pavilion, and the Li family incense shop is made of this batch of incense because of my recipe! Dare to ask uncle, where did the incense recipe in your hand come from? ”

Li Yan was speechless for a moment when he heard this.

Those incense recipes were all bought by Shopkeeper Zhou from other people's hands.

Before making incense, they also thought about adding or subtracting one or two to the incense recipe, but they didn't think that as long as the amount of spices changed, the whole incense would change its taste, so they only dared to make incense strictly according to that recipe, and they didn't dare to add snakes to it at all.

"What? Can't answer? Shi Jinxiu smiled disdainfully, "Uncle, you Dingbei Bofu can't rely on your own power to bully us little people by shouting and catching thieves!" ”

Listening to Shi Jinxiu's mouthful of "uncle", Li Yan was about to vomit blood when he heard it.

If it weren't for Xinxiang Pavilion, he would not have been demoted from Dingbei Marquis to Dingbei Bo, this is still Emperor Qingde's face in the face of the old Dingbei Marquis, so he didn't smack him to the end.

It was at this moment that Li Yan's mind suddenly flashed with inspiration, and he pointed to Shi Jinxiu and said, "You...... Are these all the tricks you have laid down against me? ”

"Against you?" Shi Jinxiu began to laugh, "Why should I target you? ”

"Naturally...... Naturally, it's because of Yu Wenyan! The more Li Yan thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case.

He never believed that after Yu Wenyan was kicked out of the house, he didn't hate him at all.

Although Yu Wenyan had never come to trouble him over the years, he firmly believed that Yu Wenyan had been brewing this matter.

"Uncle really looks down on himself!" Shi Jinxiu looked at him fixedly, "A person does something wrong, but he never reflects on himself, and always thinks that it is someone else's fault!" What makes sense? ”

"That's right! I asked the Li family incense shop to sell those incense at a low price. Shi Jinxiu said lightly, but at that time, her original intention was to let those craftsmen who stayed in the Li family's incense shop really rely on the craft of making incense to support themselves.

"But I didn't let the people in your mansion come to burn my Xinxiang Pavilion, and I didn't let the people in your mansion still think about killing people after burning my Xinxiang Pavilion." Her eyes gradually became sharper, and she actually gave Li Yan an invisible pressure.

"Do you know what is the monthly turnover of Xinxiang Pavilion now? Because of a fire in your house, I couldn't open it for more than a month, and the incense that was burned by the fire......"

Just thinking of this, Shi Jinxiu felt a pain in his flesh.

That's the spice she "begged" from Lin Xie with a cheeky face!

Originally, she wanted to use this to make Xinxiang Pavilion a big fire in the capital, but she didn't expect it to end up like this.

"Have you ever thought about compensating for these losses of mine?" Speaking of this, Shi Jinxiu deliberately paused, "Uncle, I'm afraid I never thought about it, right?" If that's the case, then I'll have to find another way. ”

"Find another way?" Li Yan glared at him.

Although he knew that in the matter of burning Xinxiang Pavilion, it was their Li family who was at fault, but he still thought that this matter was not handled by Shi Jinxiu, after all, it was a matter of injuring eight hundred enemies and losing one thousand to himself.

Shi Jinxiu naturally heard the meaning of Li Yan's words.

"What's wrong?" She smiled secretly, "I'm happy to buy it for a thousand dollars!" ”

"You!" Li Yan was so angry that he coughed violently.

Jingzhao Mansion Yin, who has never been able to interject, was so anguilliated by these two that his brain twitched.

Although he has not experienced the grievances between Yu Wenyan and the Li family, he has heard of it, so he naturally knows how tricky it is to deal with it.

The merchant who was dragged by Li Yan knelt there in a trembling manner, looking at these people in front of him with a frightened expression: "Big ...... Grown-ups...... This really has nothing to do with the small ones...... Can you put the small one first? ”

Only then did everyone remember the existence of such a person as a merchant.

"Lord Fu Yin, since this matter has nothing to do with him, let's let the people go first." Shi Jinxiu naturally didn't forget that he came here to save this merchant.

Jingzhao Mansion Yin, who wanted to be a peacemaker, had no objections, and Li Yan also stopped talking because he had made a fuss before.

Seeing this, the merchant "escaped" out of Jingzhao Mansion with great gratitude.

After the merchant left, Jingzhao Mansion Yin continued to be a lobbyist: "This matter...... I think that's it......"

In his opinion, this matter can be solved in private, and there is no need to make trouble in Jingzhao Mansion at all.

Shi Jinxiu doesn't care.

Before, she didn't have the intention of killing Xixiangtang.

But after the Li family's people set fire to the Xinxiang Pavilion, she suddenly realized that the Xinxiang Pavilion and the Xixiang Hall would become a fire and water in the future, and with the Li family's consistent style of acting, she was afraid that it would not be peaceful in the future.

That being the case, it's better for her to strike first.

In the past year, because it has been suppressed by Xinxiang Pavilion, Xixiangtang has long been inferior to before, and no matter how much it is consumed, it will only be the end of the crossbow.

And Li Yan, who made such a fuss, just felt shameless.

He originally thought that he had caught the person who stole their Xixiangtang incense products, but he didn't expect this to be the result.

Feeling bored, he waved his sleeves and left Jingzhao Mansion in a huff.

Shi Jinxiu left Tang Quan to take care of the aftermath, and he followed Li Yan out of Jingzhao Mansion.

"Uncle Dingbei, if I were you, I wouldn't be doing this fearless struggle." Shi Jinxiu sneered behind Li Yan.

Li Yan looked back in shock: "What do you mean by this?" ”

"My meaning is very simple," Shi Jinxiu didn't bend around him, "Half a year or something, I want your Xixiang Hall to close!" ”

After saying this, Shi Jinxiu left without looking back, leaving Li Yan alone in a daze.
