Chapter 7: Poisoning in the Shadows
"Okay, guest officer, please." Zhu Yuan had no reason to refuse, raised his hand and led Zhang Chi to the fish pond in the backyard, and the diners in the hall saw that there was a lively scene to see, and they all followed one by one.
As soon as everyone entered the backyard, they saw a huge fish pond floating with white bellies, and the whole fish pond still exuded an unpleasant fishy smell, like the smell of rotting fish corpses, and even the water in the pond was turbid and strangely yellow.
"What's going on?" Zhu Yuan's eyes couldn't help but widen, he was obviously fine last night, why did all the fish in the pond die today?
"Good! You wish the family to cook with rotten dead fish! It's just a lack of morality! Zhang Chi smiled secretly in his heart, but his face was extremely angry, "Master Yu also came to your Zhujia house today to try it, will you give me this thing?" Phew! ”
When the diners heard him, they immediately felt sick and loudly accused the Zhu family.
"The house was open yesterday, but I didn't expect it to be just a show! If it weren't for Young Master Zhang, we would still be kept in the dark! ”
"That's it! It's disgusting! Are we eating all these fish? I'm going to return the dishes! ”
"No wonder I've been having diarrhea these days, it turns out that all the dead fish from the Zhujia Fish Restaurant are eaten! Money! ”
The movement in the backyard also attracted Zhu Fang, who was busy in the back kitchen, and when he saw this movement, he was frightened and at a loss, Zhu Yuan saw that he was busy and came over to support him.
Zhang Chi in the crowd looked proud, stepped forward in three or two steps to hold Zhu Yuan's hand, and quietly rubbed the oil by the way, "Don't want to run!" Today, I want you to give everyone an explanation! Walk! Go to the officer! ”
Zhu Yuan was pulled by Zhang Chi, unable to break free, and couldn't help but feel a little more angry in his heart, and kicked Zhang Chi's feet fiercely, screaming in pain.
"Stop!" The big hand that had been knuckled suddenly snatched Zhu Yuan's arm, and Ning Bosheng looked at everyone with a calm face, "What happened?" Blatantly pulling and pulling on a woman, was yesterday's beating light! ”
As soon as Zhang Chi saw that it was him, his arrogance suddenly became shorter, "Lord Wang, it's like this, I wish the family to cook dead fish for everyone, everyone has seen it, we are about to pull them to see the official!" ”
Ning Bosheng was about to speak, when a small hand suddenly reached over and scratched his palm, he stiffened suddenly, turned his face and looked at Zhu Yuan behind him.
Zhu Yuan shook his head at him without a trace, turned his face to Zhang Chi and said, "Since you said that you want to see the official, then we will accompany you to the official and make this matter clear, let's go!" ”
Ning Bosheng wanted to speak and stopped, seeing that a group of people had already surrounded the Zhu family and their daughters, so he had to raise his heels.
In the public court, the big-bellied magistrate slapped the wood in surprise and said in a deep voice: "Ascend to the court!" ”
Everyone knelt down, but Ning Bosheng stood motionless, very dazzling.
"Dare to make a fool of the people!" The magistrate raised his hand and pointed at Ning Bosheng, and said angrily: "Who are you?" Why didn't you kneel when you saw the official? Don't get down on my knees yet! ”
Zhang Chi was shocked in his heart, and quietly said a few words to Zhixian, Zhixian is also a human spirit, and when he saw his mouth shape, he immediately understood.
He hurriedly carried the hem of his clothes, beckoned to the chief bookkeeper, master and official in the county office, and knelt down to Ning Bosheng first, his fat face was full of fear, "See King Rui!" Just now, the villain has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and I hope that the prince of Rui will not blame! ”
Ning Bosheng snorted lightly, lowered his eyes and looked at the magistrate on the ground, and said lightly: "Those who don't know are not guilty, get up." ”
"King Xie Rui!" The magistrate wiped the sweat from his head, ordered someone to put a chair on his left side, and invited Ning Bosheng to take a seat.
Seeing that he was sitting down, the magistrate also sat down tremblingly, and when he mentioned that he was about to take a picture, he suddenly remembered that he couldn't startle the big Buddha beside him, so he had to put it down stupidly.
"Who's in the hall? What grievances do you have to sue? ”
Zhang Chi took a step forward and said loudly: "Lord Rui, Lord Zhixian, the grass people want to sue the Zhujia Fish Restaurant for using dead fish as a dish to harm people, and please be aware of it!" ”
"Oh?" Ning Bosheng sneered and said lightly, "You said that Miss Zhu used dead fish to cook, but you saw it with your own eyes?" If you don't have the evidence, Miss Zhu can also sue you for a false accusation. ”
A pair of small eyes of the magistrate turned between Ning Bosheng and the woman in the hall, and suddenly blessed his heart, and he seemed to have a plan in his heart.
"Yes, you have to show what you can prove, or you will be falsely accused! The official looked at the Zhu family and did his duty, not like the kind of profiteer you said. ”
"My lord, of course the grass people have proof!" Zhang Chi immediately stiffened his neck and shouted, "The fish market in the town has long been rounded by my Zhang family, and the Zhu family has no live fish available at all, just now everyone saw it, the fish pond in the backyard of the Zhu family is full of dead fish, and some of them have already stinked!" ”
Zhixian frowned, pointed to a group of diners next to him and asked, "Is what he said true?" ”
A group of diners nodded their heads in response, and complained about the Zhujia Fish Restaurant.
"Yes, my lord, this is what we saw with our own eyes, and those dead fish are still in the backyard of the Zhu family!"
"That's it, yesterday I heard from the fisherman of the fish market that the Zhang family contracted the fish market for a month, and now it is true that they can't buy fish."
"Otherwise, we wouldn't have gone to Zhujia Fish Restaurant to eat fish, his food is cheap and delicious, but it's actually made of dead fish!"
"You talk nonsense!" Zhu Fang's eyes widened, and his honest face was full of anger, "My Zhu family has always done business, how can I use dead fish to cook?" You don't eat less on weekdays, can't you eat live and dead fish? ”
Zhang Chi's eyes flashed, and he said arrogantly: "That's because you wish the family an ancestral secret recipe, which can make dead fish into the taste of a living person!" If you don't believe it, you can go to Zhu's house to search! ”
Zhu Yuan turned his head coldly and said angrily: "How can there be any secret recipe in this world to make dead fish into live fish taste!" Zhang Chi, let me ask you, yesterday, did you see that the fish in the fish pond in my Zhu's backyard were live fish? And the eel noodles I made in front of all the diners, do you have them? ”
Zhang Chi was speechless for a moment, he wanted to say that he didn't come, but yesterday Wang Ye Rui was in the Zhujia Fish Restaurant, and there were so many people there, if he said no, he was obviously lying in front of people who just wanted to hit people.
"Who-who knows if you used some method to fool us yesterday! Anyway, the dead fish in the pool are still there today, don't try to excuse yesterday's incident! ”
Zhu Fang saw that everyone was full of confidence, and only thought that there was a problem with the inexplicable extra fish in his own fish pond, so he quietly pulled the corner of Zhu Yuan's clothes and said in a low voice: "Xiaoyuan, or let's lose some silver......
Zhu Yuan patted his hand and comforted: "Dad, this is not a matter of losing money, don't worry, my daughter has her own way!" ”
She clapped her hands, and the guys of the Zhujia Fish Restaurant carried half a fish the size of a pig into the public hall, and spread the fish on the public hall, and the originally spacious public hall suddenly became crowded.
"What kind of fish is this? How can you grow so big? Not to mention Zhang Chi and the people who watched the excitement, even the magistrate walked down in shock, looking hard at the fish that only had half of it left.
