Chapter 324: Pretending to be crazy and stupid
When Boss Cai saw Zhang Zhixian's attitude, he suddenly chuckled in his heart, realizing that there was something wrong with his words.
He had just been brought over by the officials, and he didn't know what was going on, but he didn't say a word and just opened his mouth to shout injustice, which is really inappropriate.
Especially when he said that he was slandered, it was impossible to mention.
"Don't blame the adults, the little ones are in a daze and misunderstood."
Boss Cai's reaction was not slow, and after realizing that his approach was inappropriate, he hurriedly changed his words.
When he looked around, he found that in addition to Jiang Li, there were people in the hall that he didn't know.
He shouted this injustice too early.
Thinking of this, Boss Cai's forehead couldn't help but start sweating, secretly hating himself for being too impulsive.
But he did not admit his guilt, but made a look of grievance. "Adult, I don't know what the adults are looking for the little ones to come over?"
Jiang Liang couldn't help but glance at Boss Cai when he heard this, watching him change his face like a flip book, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this old guy is really quite cunning, the key is that he is thick-skinned and open-minded.
However, he was facing a fair official like Zhang Zhixian, and he would not be fooled by a few words of sophistry.
"Oh? You don't know what the official called you for, but as soon as you open your mouth, you say that you have been slandered. But I don't know who Boss Cai thought was slandering you before, and why? ”
“…… My lord, this is indeed the villain's fault. I hope your sins will be forgiven! ”
Boss Cai listened to Zhang Zhixian pick the loopholes in his words, his face turned red, and he didn't know whether he was angry or ashamed.
Zhang Zhixian also had no intention of entanglement with him, raised his hand and patted the shocked wood, and asked with a serious expression: "Cai Fugui, someone reported that you harbored fugitive slaves without permission, but is there such a thing?" Recruit truthfully! ”
"What? What fugitive? ”
Boss Cai originally thought that it was mostly related to the operation of the restaurant, but he didn't expect that someone reported him for harboring fugitive slaves.
He couldn't turn a corner for a while, and couldn't help but glance at the people around him.
However, this glance made him suddenly excited, and he thought of a possibility.
He remembered what Rika had said before that she had been in Qinghui Pavilion for a while, and when he thought about it, his face instantly became ugly.
"My lord, the villain doesn't know anything about running slaves, there must be a misunderstanding in this!"
"Misunderstanding? It's not a misunderstanding that you have a new concubine in your house, right? ”
Zhang Zhixian felt that Boss Cai was really dishonest, and he was so dizzy that he even dared to marry the fugitive slaves in the families of others as concubines, and now he refuses to explain honestly after the incident in the east window, which is simply stubborn!
"Who, who is talking nonsense! I didn't take any concubines! ”
Thinking of the pear blossom that had been killed by his own hands, Boss Cai's forehead broke out in cold sweat, for fear that this matter would be exposed.
If there was something else, he could still fool the past, but Pear Blossom was a living life, so he killed him directly. Killing people pays for his life, he will definitely not be able to get out of the relationship!
But how would Boss Cai know that this interrogation was originally for this matter.
"Oh? The official is going to have to ask carefully. ”
Seeing that Boss Cai still refused to admit it, Zhang Zhixian was not aggressive, but looked at the shopkeeper and guys of the rich restaurant on the side.
"Tell me, did Cai Fugui just accept a concubine a few days ago?"
The expressions of the people who were questioned were different, some were so nervous that they couldn't speak, some were hesitant, not knowing whether they should tell the truth, and even worse, they simply closed their eyes and tried to confuse the past.
Boss Cai thought that the less people knew about this kind of thing, the better, and it was naturally impossible to confess to them in advance, and if they were asked to open their mouths at this time, there would definitely be contradictions.
Boss Cai was anxious in his heart, but he could only desperately glance at the shopkeeper, and could only hope that the shopkeeper who had been with him for many years could have a good relationship with him, and he was sure that there was no such thing.
The old shopkeeper really wants to help Boss Cai, no matter what, if the owner suffers, he will lose his good job now, he doesn't want to see this kind of thing happen.
However, the shopkeeper didn't know what to say, after all, Boss Cai had never hidden the matter of the concubine before, even after being poisoned, he didn't spend a lot of time drinking with the concubine.
He felt that this kind of thing could not be done at all if he wanted to hide it from people's eyes.
What's more, if he doesn't say it, someone else will talk about it, and he doesn't want to offend Zhang Zhixian because of Boss Cai.
The people don't fight with the officials, how could he, a small restaurant shopkeeper, really offend the parent official of Zhang Zhixian for the sake of the owner.
"Villain...... Villain ......"
The shopkeeper suddenly covered his chest with his hands, and he looked breathless.
Everyone looked at the shopkeeper and closed his eyes, and fainted directly above the court.
"Someone, please ask for a doctor!"
Zhang Zhixian didn't expect the shopkeeper to make such a move, so he sneered in his heart, so he ordered someone to go to the doctor.
He has been an official for many years, and naturally he has seen this kind of dishonest guy, and he has long had his own set of means to deal with this kind of person.
Sure enough, after a while, I saw a person dressed as a doctor enter the court, raised his hand and pressed it fiercely against the shopkeeper, and saw that he still closed his eyes tightly, refused to comply, and was not polite, and directly took out the silver needle and pierced his finger.
"Ahh
After a while, ten fingers connected to the heart, even if the old shopkeeper wanted to pretend to be dead, he couldn't bear this pain, and he couldn't help but cry out in pain.
At this moment, it is unrealistic for him to think about pretending to be crazy and stupid, and his eyes are at the stern eyes of Shangzhang Zhixian, and he also understands in his heart that there is no room for turning around this matter.
"Villain, villain is good!"
"Okay, have you figured it out now? Whatever Cai Fugui has done recently, I have been truthfully recruited! ”
Zhang Zhixian was shocked, and his momentum was majestic.
"You must know that harboring criminals is equally sinful! Don't be fooled. ”
"The villain understands, the villain understands!"
The shopkeeper originally wanted to try to get by, but when he heard Zhang Zhixian say this, he immediately became nervous.
He thought in his heart, no matter how good Boss Cai was to him on weekdays, he was not noble enough to share difficulties with him.
The old shopkeeper is also an old man, although Boss Cai never told him the truth, but he also noticed that this matter was very inappropriate.
Before Pear Blossom pretended to be a little beggar and went to the restaurant to make trouble, Boss Cai actually took her in by changing the norm, and even accepted her as a concubine, which was originally very unreasonable.
And this freshness has not passed, and Boss Cai suddenly said that the concubine went home to save her relatives, and the old shopkeeper did not suspect it.
"Lord Qiqi, the owner did just accept a concubine a few days ago."
"Don't talk nonsense, spewing blood!"
Boss Cai, who had been following the development of the situation, never thought that the old shopkeeper would betray him, and immediately scolded.
