Chapter 106: Arrest the Two Shopkeepers
The two of them still got into the carriage, but the carriage was blocked by the crowd in front of and on the left and right, and they couldn't even walk an inch, and they couldn't even sneak out to find help.
The shouts outside were louder and louder, Xiao Man rubbed his eyebrows, and sighed tiredly: "What is this, why do you want to crusade against us for no reason, what have we done wrong." ”
During this time, she has been recuperating in the house, and she doesn't know any news from the outside world.
"These people are all around outside, huddled and shouting, we can't just sit still and wait, right?" Xia Wanrou was anxious.
Su Xiaoman sighed, immediately lifted the corner of the curtain, took a cautious look, looked at the more and more people outside, and was also very anxious, "Then what should we do, we can't just let the horse rush out, right?" How many people would have to be hurt? ”
"But they can't wronged their madams like this, and they still gather people to make trouble, and they are not afraid that the officials will come and arrest them!" Emerald muttered angrily.
"Okay, let's find a way to get out now, otherwise it will be even more difficult to leave when it gets dark." Pearl persuaded.
But they don't even know what's going on, they don't have a clue, so how can they think of getting out?
Thinking of this, Xia Wanrou's face became more and more ugly, "I knew earlier, I shouldn't have come out today, otherwise I wouldn't have encountered such a thing." ”
She didn't care about herself, but there was Su Xiaoman in the carriage, Xiaoman was pregnant, and she was not in a very good mood, she was supposed to take her out to relax today, but she didn't expect to encounter such a thing, which was really annoying.
"What are they all messing with, why do you say that our wife hurt their children? Is this true or false? Jade raised her eyes to look at the faces of the two ladies, and muttered carefully and quietly.
The little guy who had been silent suddenly said at this time, "I went out to buy things in the past two days, but I heard a few rumors. “
"What rumors, tell me quickly!"
The little servant looked at Xiao Man's face in embarrassment, and shook his head a little scared, "This matter is nonsense when I hear it, I still don't want to say it, the province will annoy Mrs." ”
Xia Wanrou snorted: "When is this happening, it's still twisting and pinching, say it quickly!" ”
"Well, but the ugly things ahead, the two ladies must not be angry with such rumors."
After speaking, the little maid sighed, and under the repeated urging of Xia Wanrou and others, he began to tell the rumors he heard when he went out to sell vegetables a few days ago.
Manrou embroidery workshop since the annual competition in Beijing, business is getting better and better, reputation is getting louder and louder, in Beijing has become the first choice for the common people and young ladies to buy things, especially after Yaliuge was also inexplicably seized, Manrou embroidery workshop is even more dominant, almost to Beijing time-honored brand to compare.
But rumors also spread at this time.
At first, I don't know who said it first, saying that I made a new dress for my 100-year-old child in the Manrou Garment Workshop, because it cost a lot of money, and the fit was still made, and the child looked good, and the mother was also very happy.
But within two days, the child had a lot of rashes on his body, and the doctor said that this was because the clothes on his body were made of too bad fabrics, so the child was allergic, and there were so many rashes on his body.
Things have developed to this point, everything is still normal, and it has not caused such a big public outrage, but just a few days ago, the child with a rash searched for a famous doctor in Beijing and had no prescription, and died suddenly overnight.
"Deceased?" Jade exclaimed, looking at the little guy with wide eyes, "It's really fake, he died with a piece of clothing, it won't be here to blackmail us, right?" ”
The little guy smacked his lips, "Who knows, it's all a shadowless thing, everyone has passed it around, but no one has seen anyone who asks them, so no one knows whether this thing is true or not." ”
Listening to the conversation between the two, Xiao Man and Xia Wanrou couldn't help but look at each other tacitly.
Regardless of whether this is true or not, it is so coincidental to gather so many people to make trouble at the door of the store when they go out to Willow Leaf Street, it can be seen that someone must be planning all this behind it.
Could it really be her?
"Xiaoman, after we go back to other things, for now, we still have to solve the outside affairs." Xia Wanrou said firmly.
Xiao Man nodded, "That's right, I think so too." ”
As she spoke, she instructed Jade: "You immediately go outside and find someone and ask what is going on." ”
Jade looked worried, "Madam, don't we already know what's going on?" Besides, there are so many people outside, what if I open the curtain and they all rush up? ”
"If you want to go, you will go quickly, quickly." Xiaoman urged.
Jade sighed helplessly, so she had to do as Xiaoman instructed.
After a while, the man covered in oil stains before came up, and first glanced at Xiaoman and Xia Wanrou with disdain, very arrogant: "What are you telling me to do, do you want to buy me?" I tell you, it can't be! ”
Hearing this, Xia Wanrou couldn't help but laugh out loud, she hadn't spoken yet, but this man had so many brains, it was really funny.
Seeing her smile, the man's cheeks suddenly turned red, he clenched his hands a little crampedly, and stammered, "You... What are you laughing at! ”
"It's nothing, this big brother, I want to ask, what happened to Manrou Garment Factory, why did you come here to make trouble, and what did you say about murder for money?" Xiaoman unveiled this article and asked directly about the matter.
The big brother with a meaty face was suddenly stunned, and he touched the back of his head, "What, you don't know about this?" ”
After a moment, he became alert again, "You can't be lying to me, are you?" It's such a big deal, it's impossible for you not to know that you're definitely lying to me! ”
"Big brother, why do we need to lie to you? Today we came to check the semicolon store, but we don't want to be blocked by you, but we don't know anything about what you said, so we came to you to ask, don't get me wrong, we have no other purpose. Xiao Man said sincerely.
Hearing her say this, Jade wanted to say something, but was stopped by the quick-eyed little guy on the side, and covered her mouth in a daze.
The two were arguing in the corner, and Xiao Man ignored it, only looking at the man with a puzzled expression, so that he could believe that he really didn't know anything.
Xia Wanrou didn't know what she was going to do, but at the moment, she had no reason to support and cooperate, but the big brother was really deceived by Xiaoman.
"If you really don't know about it, then I'll tell you about it."
Things are just as the little guy said, it is rumored that someone in the market wore the clothes of the Manrou Garment Workshop, but suddenly fell ill and died, and everyone believed it, and wanted to go to the Manrou Garment Shop on the street in the east of the city to find the two shopkeepers, but because Xiaoman and Xia Wanrou had been absent during this time, they were embarrassed to embarrass a few guys, so they gave up.
But today, I don't know who got the news that Xiaoman and Xia Wanrou were going to come to Liuye Street to check the semicolon, so everyone gathered here to ask for an explanation.
After saying that, the man said, "You really don't know about this? ”
It stands to reason that this incident is also the most widely circulated news in Beijing during this time, and this matter is related to these two shopkeepers, so there is no reason why they should not know.
"I've been cultivating in the house during this time, so I'm not very clear about things in the outside world." Xiao Man smiled, and then the conversation changed; "But, big brother, you don't really believe this, do you?"
The man was stunned for a moment, and asked a little naively: "Is this thing fake?" ”
Jade snorted lightly: "The materials used in my store are the best, and the shopkeeper often wears the clothes made in our store, she is pregnant and fine, how can a child have an accident?" And there are so many customers in the store, why didn't anyone have an accident? In my opinion, this is someone who is deliberately looking for fault and instigating you to find trouble! ”
After speaking, she pouted and looked at the man, "Have you ever seen the mother of the child who died of illness with your own eyes?" ”
The man frowned and scratched his head, "That's really not true." ”
As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of horse shouts outside the carriage, and the crowd that was originally crowded and shouting dispersed, but in a moment's effort, the carriage of Xiaoman and the others was already surrounded by tall horses, completely isolating the crowd.
Xiao Man lifted the curtain and glanced out, but saw that the person in charge was Jiang Qiming.
I saw him come over unhurriedly, ordered his entourage to separate the crowd, and then walked to Xiaoman's carriage and lifted the curtain, "I heard that the two shopkeepers of the Manrou Embroidery Workshop were killed here, and I came to the rescue." ”
Xiao Man smiled, but did not respond to Jiang Qiming, but turned his head to look at the greasy man on the side, "You said that you want to get justice for that violently ill child, why don't you accompany me to the yamen now?" It's good to be a witness and let Fu Yin find out the truth. ”
Before, when she and Xia Wanrou looked at the store, they ran into walls everywhere, and it was Jiang Qiming who came to the rescue, but now the two are surrounded on Liuye Street, and Jiang Qiming appeared again, which is enough to prove that the two of them are not wrong in their guesses, and all this is really the ghost of the eldest princess.
It's a pity that he forgot to ask Jiang Qiming last time, how did he know all this, could it be that he also has an internal response by the eldest princess's side?
Just thinking about it, Jiang Qiming's voice sounded: "Coincidentally, when I first came, I saw Fu Yin going to the west, presumably something happened over there, you go to Yamen now, I'm afraid you won't be able to find anyone, so let's go home first." ”
Xiao Man frowned: "Master Jiang, you are-"
Before he finished speaking, a low male voice suddenly sounded outside the carriage: "I heard that someone bought clothes at the Manrou Garment Shop on the street in the east of the city, which caused the child to suddenly fall ill and die, so this official came to arrest the two shopkeepers of the Manrou Garment Shop, Su Xiaoman and Xia Wanrou, don't you come out soon?!" “
Jiang Qiming's face changed suddenly, cursed a few words in a low voice, and sighed secretly: "It's still too late." ”
