Chapter 110: A Different Way
Su Xingwang immediately nodded impatiently and said, "That's right, that's right, it's the fishmonger who killed a thousand knives!" He sold our family a ...... with poison."
Wang Baihe immediately interrupted Su Xingwang's words, turned her head vigilantly and glared at Su Xingwang, who almost blurted out, turned around and explained to the vegetable seller with a smile: "He sold fish with fish beans to our family, which is quite delicious." ”
Su Xingwang wanted to cover up and added: "Yes, yes, the fish he sells is fresh and the price is much cheaper, so my mother-in-law and I thought about coming to him again to buy more." ”
"Then you may not be able to find it." The old vegetable seller shook his head, "I remember... The fishmonger just showed up once that day when you were shopping for groceries, and he didn't come to sell fish again the other time. ”
"Only when I was grocery shopping?" Wang Baihe noticed the strangeness: "After he sold the fish to me at that time, he stopped selling it to other people?" ”
Wang Lihe only picked up five large yellow croakers of similar size at that time and bought them, and when she checked out, she vaguely saw that there were still a lot of yellow croakers in the fish bowl in the fishmonger's hand.
Wang Baihe secretly thought that if the fishmonger really deliberately appeared in the market street at the moment when she usually bought vegetables, and deliberately sold the so-called fresh yellow croaker to her, then the purpose must not be simple, and she might have really been maliciously poisoned by others.
"Isn't it? As soon as you finish buying and leaving, the man starts cleaning up the stall. ”
The old vegetable seller snorted secretly: "I have never seen a person like that person, who cleaned up the stall before the large amount of fish in his hand was sold." ”
When Su Xingwang heard this, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he couldn't help but get angry.
If it is an ordinary fishmonger, it must be while the fish is still fresh, and quickly sell all the fish, how can there be only one customer who will clean up the stall and leave......
When things go wrong, there must be demons.
"There's definitely something wrong with that fishmonger!" Su Xingwang couldn't hold back the indignation in his heart, and shouted out quickly.
"He must have poisoned the big yellow croaker he sold to our family! That's why our family is poisoned and sick, and what kind of dysentery does we have! Su Xingwang saw that the fishmonger had slipped away, and the so-called comfort money disappeared, and he kept scolding and scolding.
At this time, the shopkeeper Liu of the medicinal restaurant flashed out from the passers-by who were buying vegetables, and greeted Su Xingwang in a high-profile manner: "Yo! The third master of the Su family! What do you think? Have you found the one our Su Dongjia said, the fishmonger who sells poisonous fish to your family? ”
It turned out that Su Jiudong, who had returned to the medicinal restaurant, was still worried that Wang Baihe and Su Xingwang would not have enough trouble in the market street, so he sent Shopkeeper Liu to pretend to come to the market street to buy things, but in fact he came to investigate the situation.
Shopkeeper Liu quietly observed in the spice shop next to him for a long time, and saw that Wang Baihe had not disclosed the fishmonger's sale of poisonous fish.
Just as Su Xingwang shouted out as he wished, Shopkeeper Liu seized the opportunity to appear immediately and took over the topic.
"Shopkeeper Liu, why are you here...... Eh, don't mention it, no one has found it now, it is said that it has run away! This is a blank that kills a thousand knives! Su Xingwang still looked angry, regretting the silver that was about to arrive but slipped away.
"That's the case, our Su Dongjia told me when I went back just now, saying that you bought poisonous fish in the market street that day and went back to eat, so you were poisoned and caused dysentery."
Shopkeeper Liu continued to answer loudly, wishing that the crowd that gradually gathered around could hear every word he said.
"Although it has been figured out now that your family's dysentery has nothing to do with the dishes in our medicinal restaurant, our Su Dong family still asked me to care more about you out of good intentions."
Shopkeeper Liu took the opportunity to chat and quarrel with the people in the third room of the Su family to deliberately publicize that the poisoning of the third room of the Su family was caused by the purchase of poisonous and spoiled fish, and had nothing to do with the Yongyuan Medicinal Diet Restaurant, so as to justify the Medicinal Diet Restaurant.
Shopkeeper Liu worked hard to defend himself in the market street, and Wen Yiheng also increased the number of secret guards, and continued to secretly pay attention to the candidates who matched the fishmonger's body characteristics.
In the evening, it used to be the busiest time of the day in the medicinal restaurant, but now the medicinal restaurant is deeply involved in rumors of "causing illness", because there are no customers in the restaurant to eat.
Shopkeeper Liu returned to the Yongyuan Medicinal Restaurant at this time, followed by Su Chunshan, who came in together.
"Sister Jiudong, I knew that your Medicinal Diet Pavilion must be innocent!"
Before Su Chunshan stepped into the medicinal restaurant, he shouted directly at Su Jiudong behind the counter at the door: "Today in the market street, I heard from the shopkeeper Liu that the third uncle and three aunts were careless and bought poisonous fish to eat back, and they got sick." ”
Su Chunshan's shout outside the door attracted passers-by on both sides, and listened to his words, and many people stopped and stared at Su Chunshan's back in disbelief.
Shopkeeper Liu turned his head to an angle where Su Chunshan couldn't see his face, and winked at Su Jiudong's right eye. Su Jiudong nodded contentedly, and Xiang brought Su Chunshan to the square table and sat down.
"Thank you, Sister Jiudong, I won't sit down. I came here today to see how your medicinal restaurant is doing. "Strange books
Su Chunshan thanked Su Jiudong, and then raised his mouth with concern: "However, although I now know that it was the third uncle and the third aunt who bought the wrong poisonous fish by themselves, but these alone, I feel that it is not enough to convince the other people of Qishan County." ”
Su Jiudong also understood that just relying on the explanation of Shopkeeper Liu in the market street today was not enough to convince all the people of Qishan County.
Therefore, the top priority is to immediately catch the poisonous fishmonger and the mastermind behind it, and bring the evidence to the court one by one, so as to prove his innocence and save the reputation of Jonway Medicinal Restaurant.
"I think there's something strange about this... It's like the fishmonger who sells poisonous fish, you and Aunt Heng can check it out, and maybe you can find out something. Su Chunshan whispered his opinion in Su Jiudong's ear.
Having seen Su Jiudong's confrontation with others a few times, Su Chunshan knew Wen Yiheng's ability and means, so he was very sure that as long as Wen Yiheng was there, it would be no problem to catch a small fishmonger.
In fact, not only Su Chunshan, but all the people who have been in contact with Wen Yiheng, including Su Jiudong, have already subconsciously recognized Wen Yiheng as the most reliable backer. believes that as long as he is present, any difficulties can be solved like a bamboo.
Su Jiudong couldn't help but look at Wen Yiheng beside him, and saw that he was still calm and relaxed, like a handsome jade mountain.
Wen Yiheng clenched his fists and thanked Su Chunshan: "Thank you, Brother Chunshan, the matter of our medicinal diet hall is also bothering you to worry about it." ”
Su Jiudong also thanked Su Chunshan from the bottom of his heart for standing on her side and speaking for her several times, feeling that he was not wrong and helped Su Chunshan.
After Su Chunshan said goodbye to Su Jiudong, at three o'clock that night, the secret guard came back with news.
According to Wang Baihe's description, the candidates who meet the characteristics of fishmongers are currently locked in six people. As further detailed follow-up is needed, it has not yet been possible to determine who is responsible.
Wen Yiheng carefully browsed the information about the six people presented by the secret guard, and the identity of one of them caught Wen Yiheng's attention.
"Qishan Restaurant......" Wen Yiheng's eyes locked on the running hall of Qishan Restaurant, named "Xie Hesheng".
Su Jiudong saw that Wen Yiheng was engrossed, and poked his head on the side to see: "What's wrong?" …… Xie Hesheng...... Do you doubt this person the most? ”
"His identity is enough to make me suspicious."
Wen Yiheng explained indifferently: "I suspected earlier that several other restaurants had joined forces to harm us, but now it just so happens that this Xie Hesheng is the running hall in Qishan Restaurant, is it just a coincidence..."
"It seems that our previous guess is indeed accurate, or is it really that they have joined forces to harm our Medicinal Restaurant... It's too much of a deception! ”
Su Jiudong almost got up from the case, but finally sat patiently on the chair. Thinking about recent events, gritting his teeth.
The reason why Su Jiudong united several other restaurants to deal with the harm to the Yongyuan Medicinal Diet Restaurant, in addition to the jealousy of the hot business of the Yongyuan Medicinal Restaurant mentioned earlier, Su Jiudong believed that it was also related to the downfall of Lin Sheng's Restaurant.
Lin Yinpeng, the owner of Lin Sheng's restaurant, was originally an important figure in the catering industry in Qishan County, but he was later brought down by Su Jiudong and Wen Yiheng, and even took Lin Jiulang to prison, waiting for the autumn queen to be beheaded.
I'm afraid that it was after the turmoil at Lin Sheng's restaurant, coupled with the various reasons accumulated before, that several other restaurants united to fight against the Yongyuan Medicinal Restaurant dominated by Su Jiudong.
Su Jiudong was very disgusted with the hidden arrow behavior of those restaurant owners: "It's really disgusting to form a gang and secretly release arrows!" ”
"Gangs?" As a native of the ancients, Wen Yiheng has never heard of this modern idiom.
Su Jiudong explained: "It is to win over and organize gangs and engage in small collective activities. Isn't it just that several of their restaurants have joined forces to deal with us? It is really despicable and shameless to even hide in the dark and release cold arrows to harm the reputation of our medicinal restaurant! ”
"I'll let them mainly observe the whereabouts of this Xie Hesheng now, and as soon as there is something suspicious, or someone has the opportunity to get the stolen goods, I will immediately arrest him."
"Are you going to find the county government to prove your innocence at the end?" Su Jiudong sat up straight and stared at Wen Yiheng quietly.
Su Jiudong thought that this time he would discuss reconciliation with several other restaurant owners in private, and then issue a notice to the people of Qishan County to prove the innocence of Yongyuan Medicinal Restaurant in person.
The first half of the year was eventful.
A lot of things have happened before and after, and Su Jiudong can't count how many times she has been to the county government and the court in the past six months, and she is really a little tired.
"If you don't go to the county office, do you want to be private with them?" Wen Yiheng could see that Su Jiudong was reluctant to go to court again.
"Why not?" Su Jiudong sensed Wen Yiheng's faint displeasure.
