Chapter Seventy-Six: The Iron Rooster Makes Waves
Seeing Lu Xiyi and Ah Leng react like this, Li Yuanwai felt proud, but on the surface, he pretended to be very angry: "Hmph, you also drank it, you know what it tastes like, you actually use this kind of water-mixed wine to fool me?" It made me a laughing stock among my family and friends! I...... I'm going to sue you! ”
As soon as he heard that he was going to see the official, Xiao Meng was scared and hugged Lu Xiyi's thigh: "Sister, the county master won't even arrest me, right?" ”
"No!" Lu Xiyi was categorical, his eyes were as firm as a mountain, "With my sister here, others don't want to move you at all." However, she wondered if the reason why the wine had gone bad was related to the kind of potion that Ah Leng put in it.
While thinking, she glanced at Ah Leng out of the corner of her eye.
Although the movement is not obvious, Ah Leng has already captured it. He didn't believe it, Shen Sizhuo played him again!
"All the wine?"
Li Yuanwai's eyes were red: "Yes, all wine is like drinking water." Suddenly, his words changed, and the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, "However, if you are willing to return me fifty taels of silver, this matter, I can turn a big thing into a small thing, and a small thing into a small matter." ”
Saying this, Ah Leng finally understood: Dare is an iron rooster, he feels that he has too much money, and he is scheming to get the money back! Hmph, how can there be such a truth in the world! I already knew that I would set up a document in black and white, and see how arrogant Li Yuanwai was!
Lu Xiyi didn't want to make a big deal, so he said to Ah Leng: "Since Li Yuanwai said fifty taels of silver, then give it to him." What can be solved with money is not a big deal. ”
Ah Leng motioned to Lu Xiyi with his eyes: "Don't worry, I know how to deal with it!" ”
Lu Xiyi is not afraid of Li Yuanwai, but he is afraid that it will make trouble to the government, so that everyone in the city will know, and it will have a bad impact on Xiaoyao Wine. Besides, in order to protect Xiaomeng, she didn't want to go to the government.
"Li Yuanwai, if you really want to make trouble with the government, we are not afraid of you." Ah Leng pondered for a moment, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he had already thought of a way to deal with the iron rooster in front of him. It's a big deal, Ah Leng will invite Liu Ji out again, and he will definitely be able to suppress this matter.
Li Yuanwai was stunned: "You...... You're not even afraid of the government? My heart is so dark! Let me tell you, even if I bankrupt the Li family, I will sue you! ”
From this sentence, Lu Xiyi saw that Li Yuanwai was very empty. Originally, he came for fifty taels of silver, but now he said that he was going bankrupt, didn't he just want to scare and scare the Xiaoyao Wine Workshop! Lu Xiyi also stepped forward boldly and sneered:
"Li Yuanwai, this is what you said, now let's go to the county government together!" As he spoke, Lu Xiyi dragged Li out of the room.
Li Yuanwai unexpectedly Lu Xiyi suddenly became bold, with a pair of old eyes open, and the green tendons on his neck burst out: "Let go of your dirty hands, otherwise I will be welcome!" ”
Ah Leng stood beside Lu Xiyi, his eyes were cold: "What can you do to her?" ”
Lu Xiyi felt that he had a Mount Tai to rely on.
Li Yuanwai swallowed his saliva and gurgled loudly: "I...... I just wanted her to let go. ”
Lu Xiyi smiled: "Didn't you say that you would go to the county government, I will accompany you now." You fool me with two jars of drunken wine, and slander Xiaoyao Distillery for mixing water in the wine, don't think I don't know! ”
Lu Xiyi finally saw the essence of the matter clearly, and no longer doubted Ah Leng, and the big stone in Ah Leng's heart finally fell.
Sure enough, I didn't misread anyone, Xiaoxi is a person who knows right from wrong, and she won't easily be blinded by smoke.
Lu Xiyi's words hit Li Yuanwai's itch, and a strange expression appeared on his face: "Who ...... Who said that I stole the wine in the wine vat, Lu Xiyi, don't be reckless! I'm going to sue the emperor. ”
Ah Leng sneered: "Sue, as long as you are willing to go, I will accompany you." ”
Li Yuanwai lowered his head, and his eyes rolled quickly: "Folks, I don't want your wine shop to close, fifty taels of silver is good for you." Give me the money, and I will never mention it again! ”
Lu Xiyi thought that there must be many merchants and farmers like Li Yuanwai who had been tricked by him, but he was afraid that he would have money and buy off the relationship in the yamen, so he didn't dare to sue him. This time, Lu Xiyi must have a long memory!
The so-called frowning is on my mind. Lu Xiyi took out a gong from the room, and Li Yuanwai felt very strange.
"Lu Xiyi, what are you doing with the gong?"
Lu Xiyi ignored him, carried a mallet again, and knocked on the street, shouting at the top of his voice: "Everyone has come to see, everyone has come to see!" ”
Li Yuanwai wondered: When I did this in the past, those merchants were eager to keep this matter secret, why was Lu Xiyi different, and would rather the citizens come and watch? This Lu Xiyi, does there be a problem with his brain?
Ah Leng also felt strange, and whispered in her ear, "What are you doing? There are too many people, which is not good for our winery! ”
Lu Xiyi smiled confidently: "There are too many people, so it's good for our winery!" ”
Ah Leng felt more and more strange.
Lu Xiyi Yanran: "You go and move out the remaining vats of wine, daughter red, and bamboo leaf green." ”
"Do what?" Ah Leng naturally asked.
Lu Xiyi scratched his nose: "You'll know in a while!" ”
Ah Leng did as she instructed, and after a while, he brought out the wine and placed it outside the door of the wine shop. At this time, the citizens who came to take advantage of the excitement surrounded the Xiaoyao Wine Shop to see what Lu Xiyi and Li Yuanwai were competing for.
"This Li Yuanwai is very picky, an iron rooster! The last time I sent an old hen to his house, he insisted that my hen had a pound of grain in her stomach, and deducted a pound of chicken money from me. Hmph, being a rich man and being so stingy is really a once-in-a-century meeting! ”
"This kind of person should go to the eighteenth layer of hell!"
"Why didn't God blow all his family property away!"
Lu Xiyi listened to the words of these citizens.
Li Yuanwai blew his beard angrily and glared impatiently: "Lu Xiyi, what do you want?" Come on, I'm going back to fight the autumn wind! ”
"Fighting the autumn wind" is a common saying, which means going back to collect tenant rent. Li Yuan rented more fields to the peasants to plant, and naturally he had to collect a lot of money.
"What's the hurry, doesn't Li Yuanwai want fifty taels of silver?" Lu Xiyi smiled so confidently and naturally, Li Yuanwai was really worried.
Lu Xiyi coughed twice: "Everyone be quiet!" The reason why I struck the gong is because I want people to help me distinguish something. This Li Yuanwai said that my wine was mixed with water, and I was very angry. He ordered his daughter's red, bamboo leaf green, and wine in my winery. Citizens, who like to drink can come and taste it, if I Lu Xiyi really mixed water in the wine, I would like to close the wine shop and leave Liuzhou City! ”
"My boss just ordered a hundred catties of wine from Xiaoyao Distillery, there must be no problem!"
You don't need to taste it, it's already clear who is who!
However, Lu Xiyi must prove it to everyone: "Now the wine is here, whoever wants to drink it can come up and be a witness for me at Xiaoyao Winehouse!" ”
