The shopkeeper saw Su Xingwang angrily running to the county government to beat the drum and complain, so he returned to the medicinal restaurant with the news.

"Su Xingwang, which restaurant owner are they suing? Qishan restaurant? Su Jiudong was worried that Su Xingwang would not have the courage to single-handedly pick up the owners of several restaurants in the county by himself, and in the end he might only sue one restaurant owner.

"The little one only saw Su Sanye running to the county government to beat the drums and hurried back, but he didn't have time to wait for the promotion of the hall." The shopkeeper strictly followed the instructions of the shopkeeper Liu, as long as the three rooms of the Su family were in the yamen, he would hurry back and report.

The shopkeeper actively invited credit: "But at that time, the little one was according to the instructions of the shopkeeper Liu and what Su Sanye said, the more restaurant owners you sue, the more consolation money you may get in the end." ”

"You tell me in detail about the situation of persuading the third room." Su Jiudong estimated that Su Xingwang had just come to the county office, and the government should not come to the medicinal restaurant to summon testimony for the time being, so he was interested in listening to the details.

The shopkeeper didn't dare to omit anything, and he spoke for almost a quarter of an hour, describing every word and demeanor of the Su family's third room clearly.

"So at that time, only Su Xingwang was more emotional, and Wang Baihe and Su Xiaoshan didn't say much?"

Su Jiudong noticed that most of the descriptions of the shop guys were only related to Su Xingwang, and Wang Baihe and Su Xiaoshan seemed to be invisible.

The shopkeeper recalled carefully: "Mrs. Su San didn't say anything from beginning to end, and her expression was mostly suspicious and nervous. Only when Heng Gongzi was mentioned did Mrs. Su San and Miss Xiaoshan react and were more excited. ”

Su Jiudong was silent.

Wang Baihe and Su Xiaoshan didn't say much at the time, maybe the two of them might have considered the power behind the other restaurant owners, and were hesitating to weigh whether they should offend the nobles behind the owners for the sake of just money......

Being able to open a restaurant in Qishan County for so many years is still standing, and the source of customers is also endless, which shows that the owners of these restaurants are the same as Lin Yinpeng of Lin Sheng Restaurant, and they all have connections and power behind them.

Su Jiudong couldn't help but be worried, now that Wen Yiheng and Chu Lufeng had gone to Quzhou, how could she compete with the forces behind several other restaurants with only her small owner of a medicinal diet restaurant and a mere ordinary person?

"At that time, it was Su Xingwang who forcibly dragged them to the county office?" Su Jiudong asked carefully: "Did Wang Baihe and Su Xiaoshan stop on the way to persuade Su Xingwang?" ”

"Mrs. Su San pulled Su Sanye to stop many times, and Miss Xiaoshan also followed, it seems that she wants to persuade Su Sanye with Su Sanye."

The shopkeeper nervously recalled the appearance of the three people in the third room pulling on the way. At that time, he was afraid that Su Xingwang would be dissuaded by the people in the third room and cut off the idea of going to the county office, so that he would fall short.

But fortunately, Su Xingwang is a guy who has lost money, and when he heard that he might get a lot of silver, he was so excited that nine cows couldn't pull it back.

"But I couldn't stand the temper of Master Su San, so I dragged my wife and daughter to the county office."

Su Jiudong nodded clearly, using silver to hang Su Xingwang, a gambler in the eyes of money, is really the most effective way.

Su Jiudong paid more attention to this clever shopkeeper, and noticed that he was the village guy who asked someone to come to the county town to report to Su Jiudong when the Su family was making trouble in the village's hometown earlier.

At that time, Liu Yunniang had many guys in this village, as long as he stepped up to report to Su Jiudong in the city, then afterwards Liu Yunniang asked Su Jiudong, who had already opened a medicinal restaurant in the county town at that time, to give the young man a place to make a living.

Later, Su Jiudong kept his promise and really reserved a place for the village guy in the medicinal restaurant. Now it seems that this guy is also very clever, and he quietly handled the matter that Shopkeeper Liu confessed and deliberately reported to the third room.

"You've been here for so long, and I don't know your name. What's your name? Su Jiudong looked at the young man in front of him who should be no more than twenty years old, and mentally calculated that this person might be able to help with something in the future.

"The small family is poor, and my parents give me a random name, called Longan. It's the kind of longan that can be eaten. The shopkeeper grinned with a festive smile.

Su Jiudong casually rewarded the clever longan, and the longan who received the reward silver retreated with a smile.

"Hearing so much silver, according to Su Xingwang's temperament, it is estimated that he is going to sue all the restaurant owners, hahaha..."Shopkeeper Liu couldn't help but laugh.

Su Xingwang is a well-known gambler in Qishan County, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, even if he becomes a parent and has a child, he still can't put down a few dice on the gambling table, and he can't wait to worship the silver as his father, and he is a man who loves money like his life.

"It's up to him to sue, the barefoot are not afraid to wear shoes. He has no power behind him, and he is an outlaw gambler, so naturally he has nothing to worry about and dares to do anything. ”

As long as it wasn't for the Yongyuan Medicinal Diet Pavilion, Su Jiudong would be considered a small part of his success. 16

"Maybe when there is a commotion, it will be the restaurant owners of those defendants and the forces behind them who have scruples." Su Jiudong took a sip of tea with some relaxation, leaned on the back of the chair and leisurely looked at the pedestrians outside the store, and sat and waited for the government to summon him.

After waiting from the afternoon to the evening, the people from the government finally came to the medicinal restaurant, and the county official Hu summoned Su Jiudong and Liu, the proprietors of the Yongyuan Medicinal Restaurant, to testify.

As soon as Su Jiudong and Shopkeeper Liu went out, Lan Menghan in the medicinal restaurant immediately snapped his fingers to the secret guard waiting in the dark, flew to Qin Chaxingyuan, and thanked Hesheng.

Now is the time for dinner, but the people of Qishan County love to watch the lively, and they still resist the hungry stomachs, and the idle people have made the periphery of the county yamen impassable.

The official government who came to summon Su Jiudong and Liu's shopkeeper took a look at them, and it took a lot of effort to squeeze through the crowd of onlookers and enter the county office.

The county government is also a lively scene.

The three members of the Su family stood on the right side of the court, staring angrily at several middle-aged men with big bellies on the left side of the court, and one of the middle-aged men still had scratches on his face.

Combined with Su Xingwang's slightly messy coat and angry state, and looking at Wang Baihe and Su Xiaoshan's appearance of comforting Su Xingwang, Su Jiudong estimated that the traces on the middle-aged man's face should have been scratched by Su Xingwang.

On the far left of several middle-aged men, there is also a woman with a raw face. Shopkeeper Liu reminded Su Jiudong that it was the neighbor of the Su family's third room, and the Chen family's sister-in-law who was instructed by Xie Hesheng to send braised chicken to the third room.

Knowing that Su Xingwang even sued the Chen family's sister-in-law in court, Su Jiudong couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Su Xingwang wanted to take advantage of this time's determination to salvage a sum of consolation money, and he really refused to let go of the small profits.

"My lord, Su Dongjia and Shopkeeper Liu of the Yongyuan Medicinal Diet Restaurant, bring it." Someone sent someone to take Su Jiudong and Shopkeeper Liu to the hall.

Because they were only summoned to testify, Su Jiudong and Shopkeeper Liu did not need to kneel and kowtow for the time being, but just bowed politely.

"Silence!" Master Hu slapped the shocked wood, and his voice resounded through the sky, and the originally lively and noisy public hall and inside and outside immediately fell silent.

Lord Hu, the county official, looked at Su Jiudong, an "old acquaintance" in the audience, and couldn't help but secretly sigh at Su Jiudong's ability to cause trouble. She has only opened a medicinal restaurant in Qishan County for more than a year, and many things have happened during this time, and she has alarmed the government every time.

"Su Dongjia, I sent you to wait here today, there is important information for you to verify."

Master Hu said solemnly: "You also know the plaintiff in the hall, Su Xingwang, who was originally the third uncle of your Su family. Today, they sued Qishan Restaurant and several restaurants for poisoning their home, which also involved your Yongyuan Medicinal Restaurant. ”

"Su Xingwang said that several other restaurants joined forces to poison their house in order to frame your medicinal restaurant. What do you think about this? ”

Su Jiudong looked at the outside of the county yamen, and then replied: "Lord Hui, since the reputation of the Yongyuan Medicinal Restaurant was destroyed, we have also looked around for clues in private, and we happened to find the Qishan Restaurant with the Su family's third room. ”

"Xie Hesheng, the runner of Qishan Restaurant, was instructed by several restaurant owners to pretend to be fishmongers to sell poisonous fish to the third room of the Su family." Su Jiudong paced slowly in the public hall, secretly peeking outside the county yamen with his spare eyes.

Su Jiudong raised his hand and pointed to the sister-in-law of the Chen family who was standing on the edge and tried her best to hide her existence, and said coldly: "I even signaled the sister-in-law of the Chen family to send chicken to Sanfang, so that Sanfang ate fish and chickens together that night, poisoning and causing dysentery." It is to ensure that the onset of the triatrial room can be foolproof. ”

Master Hu asked, "Then what does the illness of the third room of the Su family have to do with your Yongyuan Medicinal Restaurant?" ”

"Lord Hui, the day before the third room of the Su family was sick, I once went to our medicinal restaurant for lunch." Shopkeeper Liu was the first to answer.

"It was precisely because of this lunch that the Su family naturally blamed the cause of the illness on our medicinal restaurant, so they went outside the medicinal restaurant to make trouble in public." Su Jiudong forcibly suppressed the churning anger in his heart and patiently explained.

The Su family went to make trouble, so that the reputation of the medicinal restaurant was affected and the business plummeted. Several other restaurants achieved their goals, and took the opportunity to launch bright kitchens to grab customers. ”

Su Jiudong stared at the group of middle-aged men on the left, and it was estimated that they were those restaurant owners.

"Wait!" The middle-aged man with scratches on his face, that is, Chang Dongjia of Qishan Restaurant, interrupted Su Jiudong's statement and asked in a strong tone: "You said that Xie Hesheng was instructed by us to poison Su Xingwang, is there any evidence to prove it?" ”

Su Jiudong looked outside the county yamen again, and caught a glimpse of a familiar blue figure.

Lan Menghan arrived in time with Xie Hesheng and his confession, which gave Su Jiudong a lot of confidence.

"Lord Hu, the evidence is in the minister's office, and today I learned that I was going to come to the county government to testify, and before I went out, I asked someone to take the evidence. Now the evidence is outside the county office, and I ask the adults to summon them in. ”
