Chapter 215: Who Sues Whom

Xiao Pingzi was originally guarding outside the noodle restaurant, seeing the guests coming in and out, but waiting left and right to wait for Du Mei to come out, he said that he was not good, ran into the store to see, where was Du Mei's shadow, he changed his face for a while, and rushed back to the shop in a panic to tell the shopkeeper Bian.

Shopkeeper Bian was annoyed and angry, he had been in Qinghe County for so many years, and he only harmed others, but he didn't expect to be played by a country girl today. He slapped Xiao Pingzi to the ground, and went out all over the street to find Du Mei.

At this moment, he looked at Du Mei's empty basket and said with a resentful expression: "Little girl, who did you sell the duck eggs to!" ”

"It's so funny what you said, the duck eggs are mine, you don't want them, you can buy them with your own knowledge. Your price is so low, you can't buy it if you want to! Du Mei twisted his eyebrows and sneered.

"Stinky girl, you'd better get to know each other and don't bother others!" Shopkeeper Bian said gloomily.

"The Great Shun Dynasty is a place where the king's law is spoken, and you can't be so arrogant!" Du Mei glared at him.

He was already thin as dry bones, and at this time, he looked like a terrible ghost who had climbed up from hell, and Du Mei had a chill and didn't want to pay attention to this person.

"Wang Fa, you tell me about Wang Fa!" Shopkeeper Bian laughed, as if Du Mei was telling a big joke.

"The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, who are you? It's hard to say! "Dumay really hates his getting carried away.

"Let's go, I'll take the lawsuit to the county office! You sell goods like this, evade taxes, look at whether Wang Fa will do you or me! Shopkeeper Bian almost burst into tears of laughter, and he stepped forward to ask for Radume's wrist.

"Just go!" Du Mei stepped back, she avoided him like a snake and scorpion, where would she let him get close.

Shopkeeper Bian just wanted to scare Du Mei and let the country girl obediently sell him duck eggs. At this time, he didn't expect Du Mei to really go to the county office, he was not afraid to see the county master, he had seen a lot of officials who were much bigger than this seven-grade sesame official. This wild girl was so fierce that it aroused his curiosity, so he followed nonchalantly.

The county government was only a few steps away, and Shen Zhanghua, who was wearing civilian clothes, was worried about how to resettle the victims in the back hall at this time. The relief grain from the imperial court has not yet been allocated, and seeing that there is not much grain in the county government, the soup kitchen shop may not be able to support it for a few days.

A servant hurriedly came through the hall and said something in Shen Zhanghua's ear, his face changed instantly, but he didn't speak, and let the servant help him change into an official uniform.

"Who's in the hall? What is being told? Shen Zhanghua patted the stunned wood majestically.

"The villain is Bian Xilai from the Chunlai grocery store, suing this girl for selling duck eggs privately, not paying taxes, and disrupting the rules of business." Shopkeeper Bian bowed and saluted and said first.

He glanced at Du Mei triumphantly, and when he saw her kneeling with her head bowed and her eyebrows lowered, he thought to himself, this country girl must have been scared by this battle to pee her pants.

"He sued you, what do you have to say?" Shen Zhanghua leaned over and leaned on the big case, and his fingers tapped on the table.

"The folk girl is Du Mei of Dujiagou in Sheshan Town, and she came to the county seat to sell duck eggs today, but the price given by the shopkeeper Bian was too low, so I had to resell others, but I didn't expect that at this time he would sue me for so many crimes, and the folk girl couldn't afford it, and I hope that the county lord will be the master." Du Mei didn't look up, and after saying these words, he fell to the ground.

As soon as Shen Zhanghua heard Du Jiagou and then Du Mei, the corners of his mouth naturally raised an arc, and his eyebrows and eyes were bent. He secretly wondered in his heart, when did this ghost and elf girl be so honest, I was afraid that she was holding back something bad.

"Bian Xilai, is what she said true?" Shen Zhanghua asked with a twist of his eyes.

"There has always been a price in my shop, and Tong Su is not deceived." Bian Xilai spread his hands and made an innocent appearance.

"Hmph, buy at a low price and sell at a high price, and don't allow other shops to sell duck eggs, are you still not deceived? County master, you have to check the grocery store this spring! Du Mei suddenly raised her face at this time, and her eyes were fixed on Shen Zhanghua, who was sitting on it.

"Is that the case?" Shen Zhanghua was looked at by Du Mei's bright eyes, and he looked at Bian Xilai with a sinking face.

"This girl is a fool, I'm just a shop that sells groceries, where do I have the ability to control others. Besides, isn't this girl's duck eggs clearly sold, you should chase her taxes, how did you find out about me? Bian Xi came to see that Du Mei was not frightened, and he actually dared to sue himself, and he was suspicious in his heart.

"Come on, the people who went to the Chuanchun Grocery Store, and all the shopkeepers on South Street." Shen Zhanghua threw out a bamboo stick, and Han Liu went out with a few officials.

"No, no, this ......" Bian Xilai was a little confused, obviously he came to sue, but looking at this posture, it seemed that he had sued himself.

After a while, the hall was full of black and oppressive crowds, and the officials suddenly caught the people from the Chunlai grocery store, and watched the lively people surround the gate of the county government.

Shen Zhanghua asked the guys, accounts, and stewards of the Chunlai grocery store one by one, where could these people resist the intimidation of the majestic shouts of the servants on both sides and the sound of the killing sticks pounding on the ground.

The shopkeepers of those shops on South Street had long been unaccustomed to Chunlai's grocery stores bullying and dominating the market, and seeing that the county lord seemed to intend to punish him, several bloody middle-aged people had the audacity to accuse Bian Xilai's evil deeds.

Bian Xilai panicked, he originally just wanted to scare Du Mei, but unexpectedly, he put himself and the shop in.

"County master, don't hide it, the Chunlai grocery store is not opened by a villain, can you take a step to speak?" Bian Xilai was flustered in his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward and whispered.

"Even if I will, I'm afraid it won't be able to wear this plaque on my head!" Shen Zhanghua pointed to the plaque with four big characters written on the top of his head, "Mirror hanging".

"You don't think about money, you should always find a help for your career." Bian Xilai persuaded without giving up.

"Come on, from now on, the Chunlai grocery store will be sealed, and a cadre will be taken into custody and put in prison, and the trial will be retried at a later date!" Shen Zhanghua didn't want to listen to his nonsense, so he slapped the shocked wood heavily.

"You can't do this to me! You'll regret it! Bian Xilai shouted with red eyes, but was ruthlessly dragged away by the officials. The incident happened suddenly, and many of them, including the shopkeeper, steward, and man, were all detained.

Only the silent Du Mei and the shopkeepers of the shops on South Street were left in the lobby, and they looked at each other, still not believing that the shopkeeper Bian was so easy to plant!

"Bian Xilai forced to buy and sell, and he deserved it. I hope that everyone will operate in good faith and compete legally in the future, so that Qinghe County will be more prosperous and lively! Shen Zhanghua said in a deep voice.

For those unscrupulous businessmen who can't fight on the surface and are ghosts behind the scenes, he naturally wants to take the opportunity to knock and knock, don't think that the county government is an uninformed ornament.

"That's what the county lord said!" And they all bowed their heads in unison.

"Regarding Du Mei and her duck eggs, I would like to state here that Du Mei is the hero of the locust extermination in the neighboring duck flock, otherwise, I am afraid that everyone will not have the leisure to watch the excitement here at this time.

Her ducks eat the eggs laid by locusts and small fish and shrimp, and others can't compare with each other. Because of her meritorious work in exterminating locusts, the official specially approved her to sell duck eggs at will in Qinghe County without paying taxes. Shen Zhanghua looked at Du Mei with a smile on his face, as if he was looking at a treasure in the world.

"Ah, that's her!"

"This girl is amazing, she is amazing!"

……

The crowd of onlookers erupted in admiration, and some even gave a thumbs up.

The lobby was even more chaotic, but all the shopkeepers who could sell food flocked to Du Mei and surrounded her, just eating the eggs laid by the locusts was attractive enough, not to mention that the county lords all spoke for her, can her duck eggs be bad?

With a quick hand, he opened Du Mei's basket and saw the ten duck eggs lying inside, and immediately strengthened his determination to ask for duck eggs.

"Miss Du, send a hundred duck eggs to my store tomorrow, and the price is still as I said before."

"No, no, no, send it to my shop first, and the price will rise by one percent!"

"The duck eggs at your house, I have all the bags in my shop, and the profit is four or six, and three or seven is fine."

……

"Don't make any noise, there are no duck eggs today, I will come to talk to you tomorrow with duck eggs." Du Mei was so dizzy by them that he had to speak out to stop him.

"Okay, okay, I'm waiting for you in the shop, you must come." Du Mei's previous doorkeepers were all green with regret, and they believed that they had crossed paths with Du Mei, so they couldn't help but say more.

"Exit...... Du Mei, you stay for a while. Shen Zhanghua got up and dusted off the dust on his official uniform.

The shopkeepers left in an instant, and Du Mei carried the basket and walked towards Shen Zhanghua.

"Thank you for making the decision for me!" After entering the back hall, Shen Zhanghua changed into civilian clothes and came out, and Du Mei curtsied.

"Excuse me, sit down." Shen Zhanghua waved his hand and sat down, and the county made tea and sat aside.

"You don't have to thank me, but I should thank you for sending him." Shen Zhanghua continued with a smile.

"You've been paying attention to him for a long time?" Du Mei was a guest in the yamen for the first time, and she was apprehensive, but she was even more curious.

"I've been busy with disaster relief recently, and I don't have time to take care of him, but I didn't expect to meet you, and he came by himself." Shen Zhanghua smiled.

"You look good when you smile." Du Mei said sincerely.

She has seen Shen Zhanghua many times, but she rarely sees him smiling, although he is not very old, he always looks like a young man and an old man. Now I am smiling brightly.

"This ...... Hehe. Shen Zhanghua was a little embarrassed, he had already stopped laughing, but when he saw Du Mei say this, he didn't know whether to continue laughing or close his mouth for a while, he touched his chin a little unnaturally to cover it up.

"I'll give you these duck eggs." Du Mei saw that the atmosphere was a little awkward, and hurriedly took the duck eggs out of the basket.

"No, no, no, it's not easy for you to raise ducks, you can keep them and sell them." Shen Zhanghua excused himself.

"Where am I missing these ten or eight?" Du Mei didn't care, and put the duck eggs on the side of the table.

"Bian Xi came to say that you sold the duck eggs to others, who is so bold and dares to take the risk of offending him and take over your duck eggs." Shen Zhanghua glanced at the county and continued to talk to Du Mei.

"The shopkeeper in the shop didn't dare to ask for duck eggs, but two aunts bought me." Du Mei inevitably felt cold when he remembered it, but the situation was stronger than people, but there was nothing to resent.

"What are your plans for the future? The county stood up and refilled some tea for her and asked.
