Chapter 63: Seeing the Official
Ruan Xiaodie was eating, and when she saw the big man tied to the side looking at them pitifully, she kept swallowing her saliva, and she was a little soft-hearted for a while.
Then he walked over and untied the rope, saying, 'Come and eat with us, you didn't do anything to hurt us anyway.' ”
The big man looked at Ruan Xiaodie gratefully, watching her take the chopsticks and bowl and gobble it up.
Several people at the table couldn't help but laugh when they saw him eating.
The big man listened to the laughter of several people, was stunned for a moment, but continued to eat in large gulps, and saw that he was not lightly hungry.
After everyone finished lunch, they began to clean up the table in the tavern, and the big man was a little embarrassed to sit by himself, and took the initiative to help clean it up.
Looking at the scene of harmony and friendship, Lu Chuan was in a trance for a while.
Soon the tavern was cleaned up, and Ruan Xiaodie dragged the big man out with Lu Chuan.
"Let's go, now follow me to the official, as long as you tell the mayor the truth about the boss."
The big man looked at Lu Chuan on the side and didn't dare to make a mistake, and promised again and again: "Good woman, I will tell the truth!" ”
Ruan Xiaodie waited for Lu Chuan to bring the carriage, and then got into the carriage and went straight to the yamen in the town.
The yamen in the town was also not far away, Ruan Xiaodie felt that it would be there in a while, so she jumped out of the car depressedly and complained to Lu Chuan: "If I knew it was so close, I wouldn't have let you come in the carriage." ”
"It's okay, I'm so tired, it's good to take two steps less." Lu Chuan smiled when he heard this, comforting her.
There were a few catchers guarding the door of the yamen, and when they saw someone coming, they stepped forward to stop Ruan Xiaodie: "Who is coming?" ”
Ruan Xiaodie hurriedly saluted: "Grass people Ruan Xiaodie, my lord, I came this time to ask the town elder to give justice to the grass people." ”
Seeing that Ruan Xiaodie was good-looking, and looked at him with a pleading attitude, he spoke: "Wake up, you are waiting here, I will go and inform the town mayor!" ”
"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir! Ruan Xiaodie listened happily and thanked her again and again.
Na Yu came out soon after entering, and told Ruan Xiaodie that she had been promoted to court, and now she could go to the court to state her grievances.
Xie Na caught quickly, and was about to go in, but when he saw Lu Chuan beside him motionless, Ruan Xiaodie poked him: "What's the matter, don't you go in?" ”
"I'm not very convenient, I'll wait for you outside." Lu Chuan looked down at the top of her hair and said lightly.
"Okay, then you can wait for me at the door." Ruan Xiaodie's heart was very big, so she turned around and followed the big man in.
After Lu Chuan watched Ruan Xiaodie enter, he leaned against the wall outside the yamen, closed his eyes and waited quietly for her to come out.
Entering the court, Ruan Xiaodie looked around and was startled by the solemn arrest, and then the mayor of the town in the hall patted the Tang Mu and startled her again.
"Who is in the hall and what is the matter?" The mayor asked.
Ruan Xiaodie hurriedly knelt down: "Tell my lord, grass people Ruan Xiaodie, this time I came because of the bullying and domination of the shopkeeper of Yuelai Inn, not only did he want to poison me before, but also found someone to smash my family's newly opened store, and asked my lord to be the master of the grass people!" ”
"Oh? Do you have proof? The mayor asked again.
"Yes, my lord, this big man is the proof, the owner of the Yuelai Inn hired him to smash my shop." Ruan Xiaodie pulled over the big man who was also kneeling on the side.
"Well, in that case, tell me what's going on, you, the witness?" The mayor stroked his beard and looked at the big man for a long time.
"Mayor Town, the shopkeeper of the Joy Inn hired me to smash Fluttershy's tavern, I don't know why, but the money he gave me is still on me, a tael of silver." The big man glanced at Ruan Xiaodie and felt a little chilly, and hurriedly explained the ins and outs of the matter.
When the mayor heard this, he groaned for a while, and ordered the following catchers: "Go, bring me the shopkeeper of the Yuelai Inn!" ”
"Yes." The catcher quickly answered, and rushed out with a few people.
After a while, he pulled the owner of Yuelai Inn and brought him to the court.
The shopkeeper saw Ruan Xiaodie and Dahan kneeling next to him, and he immediately understood in his heart.
knelt directly beside Ruan Xiaodie and shouted: "My lord, I am wronged!" ”
"Oh, you know what's going on? Just shouting that you are wronged? The mayor of the town was also a clear person, and asked directly.
"This, this, oops, anyway, no matter what it is, the grass people are wronged! The grass people have never done anything bad! The shopkeeper was a little stammered when asked.
"Hmph, shopkeeper, I still have a witness here, you hired him to come and smash my store!" Ruan Xiaodie pointed to the shopkeeper of the Yuelai Inn and shouted.
"Nonsense! , you girl! The shopkeeper couldn't hold back a word for a long time.
Seeing this, the mayor of the town slapped the wood in shock: "Silence! ”
The two of them stopped talking.
"The official has already decided that the shopkeeper of the Yuelai Inn hired someone to smash Fluttershy's tavern, and there is both human and physical evidence. Now the official has announced the verdict, and the shopkeeper of Yuelai Inn will compensate Ruan Xiaodie for one or two pieces of silver. The mayor of the town was shocked and settled on the matter.
"Wronged, town lord, it's that little girl who said nonsense! The grass people are wronged! The shopkeeper was still crying out.
The mayor frowned: "Gagged his mouth for me, hit ten boards and then put it away." ”
"Yes! My lord! The catcher quickly dragged the shopkeeper of the Yuelai Inn down and stuffed a strip of cloth in his mouth.
Ruan Xiaodie happily watched the shopkeeper being dragged down, and muttered in a low voice, "You deserve it." ”
"Alright, Ruan Xiaodie, huh? You're good to go. Hearing the mayor's voice, Ruan Xiaodie got up and saluted the hall again before leaving.
"Hey, I'm all right!" Ruan Xiaodie ran up to Lu Chuan and snapped her fingers. Lu Chuan opened his eyes and glanced at her, and got up: "Then let's go, didn't you say that you still have to see Sheng'er in the afternoon?" ”
"Hmmm! Let's go back to the tavern to pick up Sister Wang Mei first! Ruan Xiaodie took Lu Chuan's hand and jumped into the carriage and looked at the big man at the door. Stop doing this kind of thing and go back to earning money to support your family! ”
The big man froze for a moment when he heard this, then smiled and waved his hand at Ruan Xiaodie, and turned around and walked in the opposite direction alone.
Looking at the lonely back of the big man, Ruan Xiaodie couldn't help but sigh inwardly, but quickly left it behind, because she arrived at the door of the tavern.
"Hey, Sister Wang Mei!" Seeing Wang Mei standing at the door, Ruan Xiaodie hurriedly greeted: "Come up, let's go to the school!" ”
Hearing this, Wang Mei handed her hand to Ruan Xiaodie and was pulled into the carriage.
"Fluttershy, how are things going to be resolved?" Wang Mei asked, taking Ruan Xiaodie's hand.
"It's super smooth, the mayor is really empathetic, he knows right from wrong, he beat the shopkeeper of the inn ten boards, and asked him to compensate me for a tael of silver!" Speaking of this, Ruan Xiaodie couldn't help but smile even more happily.
"It's so good, there is actually compensation, I think the shopkeeper of the Yuelai Inn is self-inflicted!"
"Not really!"
