Chapter Seventy-Six: Merchant Confrontation
When the big man saw that the little guy had admitted everything, he cried with a handful of snot and tears: "It was he who promised to give me five taels of silver, so that I could help them smash your field." They asked me to release this bug! I, I don't want this dirty silver, and then I will return what Shopkeeper Ye gave you, and beg Shopkeeper Ye to let me go this time! I have an old mother and a wife and children, and I am confused for a while, but I also want them to live a good life......"
As he spoke, he handed back the few taels of silver that Ye Yun'er had given him respectfully.
Dahan said pitifully, but Ye Yun'er gave birth to a hidden heart.
But she thought of something, and said solemnly: "Then you have to be in front of my door and personally confirm the innocence of this store to passers-by, my business can't be ruined by you like this!" ”
But the little guy said in a hurry: "I can't help it! If I shake my eldest man out, when I go back, he will definitely break my leg and throw me into the wilderness! I, too, have a wife and children......"
Ye Yun'er knew that there were many slaves who had signed a deed of sale, and the master's family let them die, and they had to die.
She thought about it for a while, and finally relented, "Then you don't need to mention him, just mention that you guys have teamed up to frame me." ”
The two looked at each other and had to go out and do so.
Next, there was a scene of sincere repentance outside Ye's restaurant. The two wept bitterly and told their sins for a long time, attracting a large number of people to come and watch, and they were all about what they pointed out.
Ye Yun'er didn't want to embarrass the two of them too much, and then asked them to write down what happened, posted it at the door of the store, and let them go.
But Ye Yun'er was still angry, and even decided to go to the merchant to confront the merchant master.
"I'll go with you." Mu Yihan said and followed her up.
Ye Yun'er thought that with Mu Yihan's presence, she had enough confidence, so she didn't stop her.
The two found the merchant's mansion and parked the carriage in front of the red-painted gate.
The two stone lions in front of the door are extremely powerful, with red walls and green tiles, and flying eaves and corners, which are no worse than the county lord's house.
Ye Yun'er saw that this house was full of style, and thought to herself that this merchant had such a big business, but he was still so cautious and refused to leave a way for a new store, which was really a bit unbelievable.
She stepped forward and slammed the door hard.
In a short time, someone came out and opened the door for them.
The little guy looked at Ye Yun'er for a while, and was about to ask something, when he caught a glimpse of Mu Yihan, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly came out respectfully to greet him, "It turned out to be Lord Mu!" It's been a long time since you've been drinking tea with our master, how can you be free today? Our lord is longing for you to be a guest! ”
said, without waiting for the report, he invited Mu Yihan inside.
Mu Yihan smiled slightly, didn't say a word, and walked inside.
Ye Yun'er was about to fight with the merchants, but the arrogance of these two parties was suddenly extinguished.
It turned out that Mu Yihan knew this merchant and had private dealings with him?
So why didn't he say it before?
Ye Yun'er was emotionally flooded for a while, and seeing that Mu Yihan's figure was about to disappear, she hurriedly followed him in.
"Who is this?" The little maid looked at Ye Yun'er for a while, and saw that she was generous and didn't look like a maid, and she was dressed in ordinary clothes but she didn't look like a young lady, so she asked Mu Yihan in wonder.
"She's my friend." Mu Yihan said lightly.
The little girl suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "Xiao Mu's friend is my master's friend, please come in, please come in." ”
Before he arrived in the front hall, the merchant greeted him with a smile, "Little Mu has arrived, and he has missed the distance!" ”
He was only in his fifties, but he walked very slowly, his movements were a little unbalanced, he coughed twice from time to time, and his face was a little blue and not ruddy.
There was a famous guy next to him who had been supporting him.
Ye Yun'er could see that this merchant master had some chronic illness and was not in good health.
Mu Yihan chatted with him for a while, and several people were invited to the front hall.
When a woman saw them enter, she shyly bowed and hurried back.
Ye Yun'er saw that Mu Yihan and the merchant were just talking and laughing, but they didn't mention their own stubble, so she finally couldn't bear it anymore, and took advantage of the gap between them to drink tea, stepped forward, and bowed slightly, "The merchant lord, the little woman is polite." ”
The merchant lord seemed to be aware of Ye Yun'er's existence at this time, and looked at her inexplicably, "You are ......"
"Since the merchant sent someone to my shop to make a stumbling block, doesn't it know who I am?" Ye Yun'er's face did not change, and she said unceremoniously.
The old man of the merchant showed a blank face, "The old man doesn't know what you're talking about, girl?" When did I send someone to your shop to stumble? ”
Seeing that he refused to admit it, Ye Yun'er simply told him the ins and outs of the matter.
"Master Shang, it's a bit unkind for you to deal with a newly opened store so deliberately, right? Aren't you afraid that people will poke you in the back and affect your reputation? Ye Yun'er tried her best to be polite, who made him Mu Yihan's acquaintance?
But her eyes were cold and aggressive, and she couldn't suppress the anger in her heart.
"I, Shang Chengzu, have been doing business for so many years, and I have never used such a bad method on people, this must be framed!" The merchant was obviously angry, slapped the table and continued, "Tell me, who is your little girl's surname?" I immediately pulled him out and confronted him face to face! ”
Ye Yun'er sneered, "Master Shang, don't you think it's too ridiculous that you're still playing with us?" ”
Shang Chengzu became more and more annoyed, and he coughed violently. The maid on the side hurriedly went over to help him pat.
Seeing this, Ye Yun'er didn't want to continue to stimulate him, so she had to stand there with a cold face, stubborn and uncompromising.
Mu Yihan knew what she was thinking, and said to her: "Before the matter is clear, it doesn't matter if you say it." The merchant will beat him a few times at most, and he will never take his life as a child's play, isn't it, the merchant master? ”
The merchant took a sip of tea and gradually calmed down, he wanted to give Ye Yun'er a good look, but she was Mu Yihan's friend, so he had to endure it.
"This is natural. But if it turns out that the little guy is not mine, you can promise to protect the reputation of my business outside, and stop talking nonsense. ”
Ye Yun'er listened to it and knew that she couldn't be rash, and she had to treat it rationally.
She was only 1510 and told her what the little guy had told her.
"He said that his surname is Chen, his name is Chen Lao Liu, and he is a slave in your family who does chores, and he has signed a deed of sale."
There are hundreds of merchant slaves, and a small slave doing chores, how can the merchant master remember?
He immediately sent people to look for it.
In order to reassure Ye Yun'er, Mu Yihan asked Ling Feng to follow.
After a short time, the person who went to look for him came back and replied respectfully: "Back to the master, among the servants in charge of chores in our family, there is no small servant named Chen Lao Liu, including all the slaves in the second master's family, there is no such person. ”
Ye Yun'er was taken aback.
Only then did she realize that she had been deceived by that little guy?
The merchant snorted coldly, "It seems that someone splashed this dirty water on my head?" If you hadn't come to me today to question me face to face, I'm afraid my merchant's reputation would have been ruined! ”
Ye Yun'er frowned, she didn't understand, who was deliberately trying to hinder herself?
The enemy hidden in the shadows made her shudder.
