Chapter 43: The Pavilion of Ink

As the saying goes, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and within a few days, the people of Lianjia County knew that King Yu had come to investigate the case. The noble prince can be met by ordinary people, and he knows that the fame of King Yu is a great achievement passed on one by one.

Su Xiangsi and Mu Jinchen easily entered the city, and from time to time they could hear people in the small tea stall mentioning King Yu. After a month's worth of events, I feel that King Yu will definitely be able to reveal the truth.

King Yu is not an ignorant person, how can he not know the truth of high merit and shocking the master, he must have no fear to care about being restrained and low-key.

Minghui's newcomers made a fuss here for three days, and only Li Yan and a few people carefully investigated and analyzed these three cases, and in the end they did not find out the truth, and Su Xiangsi was still very satisfied with the investigation. King Yu also brought a lot of people, and in order to prevent accidents, he only let them investigate for three days before closing the team.

Now the Chen family has the wife of the main house who is struggling to support and take care of the huge business. Li Taiping of the Li family was poisoned and died, and the doctor was angry before he arrived at the Li Mansion. The three children born to him and his eldest wife's wife are all delicate and intelligent daughters, and Li Taiping handed over all the family business to his second daughter before his death.

Su Xiangsi's disguised men's clothes are handsome, and his foundation is already good, and he is a handsome boy when he dresses up a little. The only deficiency is height, and walking side by side with Mu Jinchen also knows his chest.

There are also a lot of eye-catching sons and girls in Jiaxian County, and two handsome sons and sisters with extraordinary bearing will still attract the attention of others when they walk on the street together.

Mu Jinchen wanted to go shopping with his arms and waists like ordinary lovers, but now Su Xiangsi is pretending to be a boy, and he can only endure his itching.

Although the street that Su Xiangsi is shopping on is not the main street, it is also lively, the decoration of the shops on both sides is of high grade, and the things sold are relatively higher quality, and the price is naturally expensive. The people who can come to this small street to buy things are from some families.

The Li family's industry covers jade, jewelry, and the four treasures of the study. Although it is only three industries, there is a specialization in the art industry, and the three industries are proficient, and the reputation is also widespread. There are a lot of good things in the capital, but there are also many people who go to Lianjia County to purchase his family's things for the good name of the Li family.

"I tell you! If you don't give me an explanation today, don't blame me for being unkind! ”

"Don't be vexatious here! The color ink in your hand is not paved by us at all! ”

The two were about to reach the end of the street when they heard the sound of men and women arguing sharply, and the front of a shop was crowded with people watching the excitement.

'Jimo Pavilion' is an interesting name. Su Xiangsi withdrew her gaze from the plaque, and Mu Jinchen escorted her into the crowd to see what was going on.

The shopkeeper is a woman with a generous demeanor, demure and elegant, a scholarly temperament, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone in the store. The troublesome man was dressed in fine clothes, but his face was indulgent and obscene, and he was disgustingly greasy.

The shopkeeper looked Jiaorou, and his attitude and tone were tough and did not make any retreat: "We never sell incomplete modules in the ink pavilion, and the color ink in your hand is not in our store, if you dare to make trouble, I will report to the official!" ”

The lewd man slapped the colored ink in his hand on the counter, and raised his voice a few degrees: "If you don't lose money, Lao Tzu will smash your store!" As he spoke, he raised his foot and kicked at the shelf next to him.

The onlookers exclaimed, and Xiao Er rushed to the man's feet in time, blocked the strong kick with his body, and snorted.

The lewd man couldn't strike a blow and became angry: "Smash it all for me!" The four muscular guards immediately swung their sticks and smashed them at the container. The shopkeeper and the shopkeeper were anxious and wanted to stop them, but the disparity in physical strength could only be entangled between the two parties. The chaotic sound sounded, and the treasures in the store were smashed into messy pieces, and the onlookers did not dare to stop it when they saw the excitement, for fear that the wooden sticks would hit their bodies.

Taking advantage of the chaos of the scene, the lewd man wanted to throw the things on the counter to the ground. was concentrated in the palm of his hand by a stone, and his whole arm was numb for a while.

"Who is it?! Dare to sneak attack Lao Tzu is tired of life! ”

"Oh? What do you want to do with us? Su Xiangsi entered the store and picked up the shopkeeper who was pushed to the ground: "How is it, are you injured?" ”

The shopkeeper's eyes were full of tears, but he gritted his teeth and didn't cry, and got up with the hand of a handsome young man with white skin like jade, and Ying Ying bowed: "Thank you, son." ”

The lewd man shouted at the top of his voice: "Stinky boy, I warn you not to meddle in your business. Saying that, he stretched out his hand to push Su Acacia.

Before his hand touched Su Xiangsi, he was grabbed by Mu Jinchen and squeezed it hard. The lewd man felt that his bones were about to be crushed, and he screamed in pain and broke out in a cold sweat.

"I'll take care of this today!" Glancing at Mu Jinchen, Mu Jinchen threw the lewd man out of the shop with a lot of force, and the guards rushed up to help him up.

I had never been so humiliated, so angry that my face turned red and yelled at the guards: "What are you doing in a daze!" Don't hurry up yet! ”

The guards picked up their sticks again and rushed towards Mu Jinchen and Su Xiangsi. Before he could get close to the two of them, he was knocked out by Nanzhi and fell to the ground.

No one could protect him, and the troublemaker suddenly panicked and refused to admit it: "You wait, don't want to get out of Lianjia County alive!" ”

"I'm afraid you won't make it? You provoked trouble first, and you smashed the store. If you don't pay the money back, I will sue His Royal Highness King Yu and ask him to administer justice!" Su Xiangsi's righteous and high-pitched tone reached everyone's ears, and he glared at the worried man on the ground and scolded sharply: "Don't get out of here!" ”

The guard shuddered, and ran away with his master with a rolling belt.

Looking around at the mess, Su Xiangsi ordered the shopkeeper to close the door, the person who came to make trouble was a knowledgeable person, and he smashed all the expensive pen and ink, and he must not be able to open the door to do business in the next few days.

The shopkeeper's eyes were full of distress, and he carefully followed Xiao Er to clean up the shop, picked up the broken pen and ink and rewrapped it. Su Xiangsi sighed, she couldn't talk about business for the time being, and helped clean up the shop simply.

"Thank you to the three sons for helping, Yu Niang is grateful." Almost cleaned up, Yu Niang curled her legs and saluted, choking in her words. She has followed her father to take care of Jimo Pavilion since she was a child, and she took over after her father's death. After pouring his feelings for 20 years in this shop, when he saw the four treasures of the study that were damaged, his heart throbbed.

"Less than two months after Li took office, several shops have been damaged several times one after another, and the losses are worrying."

As soon as the words fell, Yu Niang looked at Su Xiangsi vigilantly: "I don't know what Gongzi means by this?" ”

Su Xiangsi put down the teacup and smiled at the corner of her mouth: "Don't panic, just think of a way to help Li Dangjia get through this hurdle." ”

Yu Niang was silent, the Li family seemed to be calm now, but in fact, the pressure on the second lady was incomparable. How can there be no enemies in business, several shops have accidents one after another, and the second lady has been sick for several days.

Now all of a sudden, a person who doesn't know each other and doesn't know the root of the matter says that there is a way without any credibility. But now the Li family does have problems that cannot be solved, and there are very few henchmen in the second lady's succession.

Su Xiangsi didn't rush her, and gave her enough time to think about it.

"This son might as well go upstairs and wait in the private room for a while, and I'll pass the word to the head of the family now."

Su Xiangsi nodded, it was normal to be wary of her. It's not appropriate to talk about it this time, and we'll come back in a few days.

After half a pillar of incense, the simple carriage stopped at the back door of Jimo Pavilion. A woman dressed in white wore a hat and got out of the carriage with the maid's careful support, and trotted all the way into the Jimo Pavilion.
