Chapter 57 Accident in Wuxianglou
But this county is so big, and the business of Wuxianglou is booming, and some people are jealous and hot.
On this day, not long after the store opened, Zhong Xiaoshu was still carefully preparing today's account book and picture album and updating the menu, when he heard a running hall cleaning and sweeping the floor at the door hurriedly running in, "Old ...... Madame! ”
"Why are you so flustered early in the morning, so that the guests can see what it looks like?" Zhong Xiaoshu raised his head from the ledger.
But I saw a large group of people behind the hall, and the momentum was violent, and the people who came were not good.
The first one is the little guy next to Boss Yang, a frequent customer in the store, who is glaring at Zhong Xiaoshu with an angry face.
The three or five servants behind him also looked bad, and they almost didn't have guns and sticks in their hands, indicating that they had come to smash the field.
Seeing this, Zhong Xiaoshu put down the manual, waved his hand to the running hall, and walked out of the counter alone, one person raised his chin slightly in front of him, without losing his momentum at all, and asked bluntly: "I don't know what the little brother of the Yang family wants to do when he comes to my Wuxiang Building in the morning?" ”
"You wicked woman! Don't dare to do it! My lord ate your food yesterday, and he couldn't rest all night last night, and today he collapsed on the bed and couldn't get up. "The little guy of the Yang family has a vicious voice and an extremely bad attitude.
After that, he didn't give Zhong Xiaoshu a chance to explain at all, and with a beckon, several servants behind him rushed up, reaching out to grab her!
The apprentices in the shop listened to the noise and came out to take a look, where did they dare to hold on, and hurriedly stepped forward to block it.
Wang hurriedly ran out with a vegetable pot, and scolded loudly behind Zhong Xiaoshu, giving full play to the village woman's ability to scold the street.
"I said what are you doing! Do! Is the blue sky about to kill people in the daytime! Relying on the fact that my restaurant is a woman's family, and a man goes out to be a soldier, he comes to bully people one by one, isn't it, God, do you still have a royal law! ”
The little girl of the Yang family has been in the county seat, where has he ever seen a woman scolding the street like this, and they were all frightened by this loud cry and took a few steps back.
But his family thought that he was reasonable, and he was bound to refuse to go, so he craned his neck and shouted: "Boss Lady Zhong!" Yesterday, my lord only came to your Wuxianglou to eat, and as a result, he collapsed from diarrhea, and the lord was going to go to Lingxian County today to talk about business, and he was delayed! Among them, the loss is hundreds of taels, and my wife said that you have to pay for it! If you don't pay, then see you in court! ”
Zhong Xiaoshu frowned slightly, and figured out all the original reasons for this farce, it turned out that this morning came to their hotel to make trouble because Boss Yang ate something bad and had severe diarrhea.
Their dishes are bought fresh every day, and they have never gone bad before.
The Yang family suddenly came and shouted that eating their things hurt their stomach, and there was really a problem.
It's just that seeing that they are so sworn and aggressive, the problem may not only be on the Yang family's side, but also on their own side of the store......
Zhong Xiaoshu's face was slightly gloomy, but before she could speak, the Wang family beside her widened his eyes, "Lose a few hundred taels, how can you afford it...... This is clearly here to trap us! ”
This compensation is indeed set too high, and there is no evidence at all for the loss, so it is naturally impossible for them to agree to the Yang family.
Zhong Xiaoshu took a step forward and said: "Brother Yang, we really don't know anything about Boss Yang's diarrhea, and we dare to say that the dishes in the restaurant are all qualified by my final inspection before they are served, but if you have to say that we will be responsible, we will only be willing to lose a hundred taels of silver, and our small shop business will naturally not give in easily." ”
"That's it, then let's go to the yamen together to make it clear, so as not to ruin the reputation of my Wuxiang Building with a sudden basin of sewage."
The little brother of the Yang family was taken aback, and he never thought that the shopkeeper of this woman's family was not afraid at all.
raised his eyes and glanced at her several times, but then he also snorted lightly, remembering his wife's command, "Go and go!" Even if we meet Master Li, our family's master is definitely justified by our family! ”
"Then let's go." Zhong Xiaoshu said lightly.
After a little contemplation, Zhong Xiaoshu turned to the people in the store: "Since there is a lawsuit today, the store will definitely not take care of it, and I will need you to say a few words about yesterday's events for a while, just clean up the store and hang up the closing sign first, and you will go with me." ”
Wang and the apprentice immediately nodded their heads one after another.
Wang even glared at the people who were striding towards the yamen with their sleeves thrown up, and snorted very unhappily, "Okay, I'm afraid that you will not be able to shake their gang of evil slaves if you go alone!" I see, they are clearly here to cheat our money! ”
"Sister-in-law, don't say these words again for a while, and be cautious in your words and deeds in the court." Zhong Xiaoshu whispered a word of advice to her, and then said to the two running halls, "You go and clean up the door and stools briefly, and we will all go to the yamen together." ”
After a while, there was a burst of ground sounds accompanied by the sound of mighty sticks in the Wangcheng Yamen, and a serious and blatant voice of "mighty-mighty-mighty-" sounded.
Master Li sat on the top, changed his elegant and kind atmosphere when he came to eat in casual clothes on weekdays, and sat solemnly on the Taishi chair, and said with a sense of majesty: "What is the matter with the court's complaint?" ”
The lady of the Yang family on the bottom side was helped to take a step forward, bowed to Lord Li, and then said, "Lord Li, please make decisions for the people's women!" My lord went to Wuxianglou for dinner yesterday, and after returning home, he began to vomit and diarrhea for a while, and finally he couldn't lift up the slightest strength and collapsed on the bed. But today, I made an appointment with Lingxian to talk about business, and now I really made a mistake, and the loss of this must be fully compensated by their Wuxianglou! ”
As soon as Mrs. Yang finished speaking, she glanced at Zhong Xiaoshu with disdain, and said again arrogantly: "Who knows, Zhong Xiaoshu, the owner of her Wuxiang Building, doesn't admit it, and tells my little girl that our Yang family is going to pit their money, looking innocent and innocent, refusing to compensate, Lord Li, you want to be my master!" ”
After that, he took out his handkerchief and cried in a low voice, looking so pitiful.
Master Li raised his hand to stop the sobbing of Mrs. Yang Family, and said openly: "Mrs. Yang Family should retire for the time being, calm down for a while, and this official still needs to listen to the defendant's complaint." ”
"What else is there to say! My family even invited several doctors last night, and they all found out clearly, Lord Li-" Mrs. Yang stepped forward slightly and wanted to say more, but was slightly signaled by Lord Li to ask the official to step aside.
Zhong Xiaoshu watched the whole process in his eyes, and the uneasiness in his heart calmed down a little.
Not to mention her old friendship with Master Li, Lord Li's behavior and demeanor are full of fairness and integrity, and I think he is not only elegant and kind, but also good at trying cases.
"Zhong Xiaoshu, come forward and tell me about your complaint......
