Chapter 12: Master and Master
As soon as Aunt Zhu's plan came out, someone reported to Shen Mingzhen here.
It was the people who were punished by Aunt Zhu before.
Shen Mingzhen rewarded them with silver and sat on a chair to think.
First, she didn't know when Aunt Zhu would make a move.
Second, she didn't know when the person invited by Aunt Zhu was pretending to be sick in her store.
Now that the enemy is in the dark, she is in the light, and if she follows their way, how can it be good.
After thinking about it, Shen Mingzhen decided to ask her master to help.
Since Master took up the position of vice president of Tai Hospital, he has been much more leisurely, and usually only does some management work in Tai Hospital.
I think there should be time.
Unexpectedly, Shen Mingzhen's letter was sent, and the master's family rushed over.
Shen Mingzhen hurriedly booked a good hotel for the master.
The master brought her her her newly made pastries Shen Mingzhen accepted it and apologized: "It's really troublesome for the master and the master." ”
"What are you talking about, we haven't been together for a long time, and it's just a matter of getting together this time, how can it be called trouble."
Shi Niang took his hand: "Besides, Xi'er misses you too." ”
Xi'er was only six years old, and she threw herself on Shen Mingzhen, holding her hand and not letting go: "Sister Mingzhen, I brought you a candy man, you hurry up and eat it, otherwise it will be snatched away by my father." ”
Shen Mingzhen was amused.
She did it in the inn for a while, and then she reluctantly said goodbye to her master and mother.
After a few days, Aunt Zhu finally made a move.
It was a fifty-year-old man on crutches and dressed in rags, cotton and linen, who came to the shop to buy preserved fruits.
The old man was dirty, and he could still smell a stench, which was incompatible with the palatial shop.
She gestured at the maid.
The maid blocked the way: "Old man, our shopkeeper is uncomfortable today, the store is about to close, if you want to buy something, will you come back tomorrow." ”
The old man took a bite of the maid mercilessly.
The dirty hand grabbed a handful of jerky and gnawed it.
Shen Mingzhen: ......
This old man doesn't play cards according to the routine.
She quickly closed the shop and asked the servant to take the old man out.
The old man reacted very sensitively, and before his feet were out of the threshold, he said loudly: "This is a black shop, I just ate a bite of dried meat, and I feel uncomfortable all over my body."
It's going to kill someone. Come on. ”
The voice is loud, where there is the weakness of being sick.
The old man's voice quickly attracted a crowd of onlookers.
A lot of people are pointing on the side of the road.
The old man clutched his chest: "I hurt so much." My heart hurts so much, the dried meat in this shop is poisonous, and I'm going to eat the dead, everyone come and see. ”
Shen Mingzhen sneered: "What does the old man mean by this?" The dried meat in our house is all fresh meat, and it is poisonous in the mouths of the elderly.
Do you usually reverse black and white like this? ”
The old man glared angrily: "I'm about to die, your flesh is poisonous." I tell you, if I have a good day today, if you don't accompany me for seventy or eighty taels of silver, don't think about passing it at this time. ”
The maid in the shop walked straight over: "If you mess around like this again, we will report to the official." ”
"Even if you go to the Qingtian Lord, you killed people."
Maid: "You wait, I'll report to the official now." ”
Master Shen Mingzhen and his wife also rushed over at this time.
Doctor Hu bowed his hand to the old man: "I am a doctor, since you have eaten badly, it is better to let the old man give you a diagnosis or two." After all, good health is the main thing, don't let this family's meat hurt your body. ”
The old man was embarrassed to say no, and stretched out his arm. Doctor Hu diagnosed for a while, stood up, and bowed his hand to the onlookers: "Ladies and gentlemen, according to the old man's diagnosis and treatment, this old man is very well and is not sick at all. ”
"How is that possible?"
"This old man's body is in such pain, how can he not be sick?"
"Where did this quack come from?"
There were people in the crowd who were heckling, deliberately leaning towards the old man sitting on the ground.
Imperial Physician Hu couldn't speak.
The officials of the capital quickly rushed over with officers and soldiers, and the old man was still crying beside him: "I really hurt to death." I didn't expect this dried meat to be so disgusting, and I actually drugged it in the dried meat. Harm.
The old man really hurts to death.
The official is the master of the old oil, and the owner of this shop will be put in prison. ”
If Anzi is out, whether it is planted or something is true, it will be tried for the first trial. The official waved his hand: "Someone, take the owner of this shop and the maid into custody together." ”
"Slow down, adult."
Shen Mingzhen stood up.
"First, this old man came into my shop and didn't pay before eating, but grabbed and ate. Fortunately, he took the best dried meat, if this old man took the dried meat of my rat and ate the dead, where would the folk girl go to reason?
If you don't ask, you are stealing, and it is not a problem for the people's daughters. ”
Shen Mingzhen paused: "Besides, a doctor has already diagnosed the old man's body, and the old man is not sick. ”
The old man was tough: "She's talking nonsense.
I don't know where the rural field doctor came from, but he dares to say that he is a doctor? Maybe they're just here to cheat money.
Official, in my opinion, this doctor may also come here to cheat money, and they should all be locked up in prison. ”
"Really?"
Imperial Physician Hu smiled and walked in front of the official.
As soon as the official saw Imperial Doctor Hu, he bent half of his body.
This Imperial Doctor Hu is a popular person next to the Queen Mother.
His medical skills are also very good, and last month he was fortunate to invite Dr. Hu to treat his mother.
Doctor Hu is a high-spirited person.
He said that this old man was messing around, so this old man must be lying.
Imperial Physician Hu approached the official: "Don't hide it from your lordship, the shopkeeper of this shop is my closed disciple, this incident happened on the street, if it is rumored, I am afraid that it will not have a good reputation for this shop." ”
The officer nodded.
instructed the officers and soldiers on both sides: "This old man is messing around in the street and slandering this dried meat shop, which is really deliberate. Someone came, put this old man on the street and hit 20 boards, and threw it into the big guy waiting for the drop. ”
The old man has not yet said that he has been wronged.
His voice was drowned out by the sound of beatings on his body. Crackling voices came one after another. When the onlookers saw this scene, they understood that this old man must be lying.
Shen Mingzhen walked up to the official and curtsied: "Thank you, sir." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the babbling voices of the maids: "Miss, it's not good." I don't know who took advantage of the excitement here, poured a lot of oil on the back of the store, and set a fire, and now the back half of our store has been burned. ”
Shen Mingzhen hurried over.
The back half of the shop is almost burning out.
Thick black smoke billowed upwards, and the broken black bricks stood on the remaining half of the wall.
The gangster's mind was very vicious, and not only burned her shop, but also burned half of the shop next to her that made treasures.
Right now, more than a dozen people are carrying buckets to extinguish the fire, but they still can't stop the raging fire.
Officers mobilized officers and soldiers, together with Imperial Physician Hu, to join the firefighting team.
The fire was extinguished for half an hour and finally extinguished.
Shen Mingzhen didn't have time to check her family's losses, so she hurriedly ran to the Treasure Pavilion next to her to look.
The place where the Treasure Pavilion was burned was a tea room for entertaining guests.
There were only two hairpins in a gift box.
The shopkeeper walked out with a dark face: "Miss Shen, you know the treasures of our store, they are notoriously expensive.
Those two hairpins were originally prepared by us and given to Miss Zhang's Wu as a birthday gift, which was quite precious. I don't think it's easy for you, so I'll charge you a cost price, three hundred and sixty-three taels, you see when it's convenient, please send it to me. ”
After speaking, he also showed her the half-burned blackened hairpin.
The same body is smooth, white as jade, and the hairpin body is clean without a trace of impurities.
It's really a good material.
Shen Mingzhen was about to cry.
She looked at the officers and soldiers, held back her crying, and forcibly endured: "The adult must help the little woman catch the person who is fighting fire."
Not only can the little woman's shop be unable to open in front of her, but she also has to pay so much silver to the Treasure Pavilion.
If you can't catch the person who set the fire, the little woman is unwilling. ”
Shen Mingzhen has a good face and is the apprentice of Imperial Doctor Hu.
The official intended to make friends, so he patted his shoulder: "Miss, don't worry, although the thief has run away at the moment, this official is the best at tracking the trajectory and following the clues to find it." Eldest Lady, please go back to Shen Mansion and wait for news, the official promises that within three days, Miss will definitely be given a result. ”
Shen Mingzhen was furnished, and his face was pale: "Thank you, sir." ”
On the side, Shi Niang had already come over to comfort her: "Xiao Mingzhen is not afraid, if something big happens, there will be a master and a master to bear it for you." ”
Master's child Hu Xi also comforted her: "Sister Mingzhen, don't be afraid to wait for me to grow up first, I will marry you and go home, and shout that those who bully my sister will never dare to bully my sister again." ”
"Hmm." Shen Mingzhen replied in a low voice, lying in the arms of the master, refusing to get up.
Shi Niang rubbed her head: "Don't think about it, more than three hundred taels of silver is not a big deal, your master can earn it for you after a year of hard work."
Xiao Mingzhen can't be discouraged, Shi Niang is still waiting for you to cheer up and make dried meat for Shi Niang. ”
Shen Mingzhen's big tears flowed.
She wasn't worried about the three hundred taels of silver.
The voice that she had been running for months was ruined, and she really couldn't be reconciled.
