Chapter 178: The Song Family's Fish Walk
Pang Guang's shocking move, not to mention that Cheng Qi was scared, even Cheng Yan, who had always been calm, widened his eyes, and his face was incredible, so ...... That's a spice, that's not a broad bean!
"Hey!"
It is rare for Cheng Yan to be such a domineering president, and he also has an unbearable side, seeing Pang Guang working so hard to maintain his own business, he frowned and stepped forward to open his hand, pinched his chin and shouted: "Spit it out!" ”
Who knew that Pang Guang was determined to eat, so he avoided his hand and swallowed those spices into his stomach like chewing chalk......
Cheng Qi swallowed slightly, looked him up and down, and said in his heart What kind of genius is this.
"Are you alright?" She pushed away the person next to her and told Honeysuckle to hurry up and get water for Pang Guang, "Drink quickly, you said that you are really strange, if it is really a problem with spices, you will die if you eat like this, you said that you are helping our family's business, or are you adding to the chaos." ”
"Grandma."
Seeing that Cheng Qi didn't appreciate Pang Guang's affection very much, Cheng Lan couldn't look at it a little, and wanted Zhou Lao Langzhong to show Pang Guang the pulse, but who knew that the man waved his hand, coughed twice and said: "I'm also Langzhong, I know what's going on." ”
"When you're dead, you won't know." Cheng Dai hugged his arms beside him.
"Taiheng." Cheng Lan frowned, "Pang Langzhong is also kind. ”
"I said... Big brother. ”
The bald man and the people around him were blinded, and said in their hearts that if this rash was really because of the problem of spices, it would be strange if Pang Guang ate it in one bite like this, and he would not vomit blood and die.
"How much money did the Cheng family give you, and asked you to give them your life." He sighed.
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Honeysuckle frowned and scolded: "What evidence do you have!" This rash is caused by my spices! Pointing at Cheng Lan and the others, he couldn't help but say, "Don't think that our young master and girl are good-natured!" Just messing around here all the time! If you really have a reason! Let's go to the official court! ”
The bald man raised his eyebrows, looked at the people around him, raised his hand and said, "Let's go!" ”
"What to go."
Pang Guang was disgusted by the spice, and repeatedly supported Cheng Qi next to him, and the man said uneasily: "I said you're okay, this... Don't let anything happen to you. ”
Pang Guang shook his head and counted the time: "Don't worry, girl, I don't have anything to do, but if it was really a problem with this spice, I swallowed it like this, and I should have turned sideways a long time ago." Because it was so disgusting, he couldn't let go of the hand holding Cheng Qi, "That's it...... It's just too unpalatable. ”
Looking at Pang Guang's hand holding Cheng Qi, Cheng Yan glanced impatiently at the side, reached out and opened Pang Guang's hand, the man sat on the ground staggeringly, his neck surged twice, and he vomited.
"Huh-"
Cheng Qi took the hem of her skirt and stepped back again and again, she looked back at the stall that Pang Guang spit out, except for the pink spices that were not completely chewed, there was nothing else to eat, it seemed that this person had not eaten breakfast.
Cheng Qi glanced at Cheng Yan, and the man also had mixed eyes.
But these two people don't have much sympathy, like Pang Guang, who sells aphrodisiacs on the street in broad daylight, it is reasonable that he can't eat, this second goods with skills and no brains.
"You...... You ......"
The bald man looked at the puddle of vomit, his face turned even paler, it seemed that he was going to be hooked and disgusted and wanted to vomit, he waved his hand again and again to stop looking away, and he was so angry: "Disgusting to death!" ”
Pang Guang coughed violently, as if he was choked by his own vomit, Cheng Qi looked anxious, Cheng Yanjie next to him relapsed, went back to the house directly, and scolded: "Pull people away for me!" ”
"Wait... Wait a minute......"
Pang Guang continued to insist on refusing to leave, but before he could say this, he covered his mouth suddenly, but the vomit came out of his nose, like two dancing snot.
This can make the people around him nauseous enough, especially the bald man who is particularly afraid of this situation, his eyes widened, and he couldn't help it, holding his knees and spitting out.
The people around them immediately dispersed, all with disgusted expressions, and they were talking about something.
"Wait a minute."
As soon as the bald head spit out the thing landed, there was a strong fishy smell spreading everywhere, Cheng Qi, as a criminal policeman, was naturally aware of everything, she ignored Cheng Yan's pull, walked over cautiously, looked at the meat foam in it, felt very strange, and stretched out her finger: "What is this?" ”
The bald man vomited and collapsed, supported by the well-wisher next to him, and looked in the direction of Cheng Qi's finger, he rolled his eyes and thought about it, and said, "...... Fish stew to eat in the morning. ”
"Fish?"
When Pang Guang heard this, he didn't care about the mess, pinched the minced fish in his hand with his hand, sniffed it carefully on the side of his nose, and said, "No, the smell of this fish is very strange." ”
Cheng Dai said in disgust: "Nonsense, this is spit out, of course the taste is different from what you eat." ”
Pang Guang shook his head cautiously: "That's not right. ”
Cheng Qi looked at Pang Guang's appearance, thought carefully for a few seconds, and said: "So many people have rashes at the same time, which means that they all used or ate something at the same time yesterday." Turning his head to a sister-in-law next to the bald head, he asked calmly, "Sister-in-law, did your family eat fish yesterday?" ”
The sister-in-law was also covered in a red rash, wrapped herself tightly with a headscarf, and only had a pair of eyes left, listening to Cheng Qi's question, she glanced at the neighbor who came to ask for an explanation behind her, and nodded nervously.
"Eat." She said.
"After eating, sister-in-law Liu gave me half a pot." The neighbor was talking, thinking a little about it, and suddenly said, "Oops! I guess there's something wrong with the fish! ”
"My family eats it too!"
"Yes, yes! Yesterday I also stewed fish soup at home! ”
"But the problem with the fish?"
Listening to the discussion in the crowd, Cheng Qi felt that he had found a breakthrough in the matter, and quickly grabbed someone and asked, "Who bought the fish from?" The conversation changed, "It shouldn't be my family's Yuxing fish shop, right?" ”
Sister-in-law Liu shook her head and denied: "Yes... I bought it at the Song family's fish shop, and his family opened a lot of stalls in the market yesterday, and the fish was sold very cheaply, and many people bought it. ”
After she finished speaking, almost everyone began to echo, and the target was directly aimed at the Song family's fish shop.
The bald man wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and also came back to his taste, and said with a stinky burp: "Yes, when I bought that fish back to stew yesterday, my family said that it tasted a little strange." Scratching his head in a daze, "It's just that I didn't care so much about the cheap fish, who would have thought... I had a rash in the middle of the night. ”
"Let's just say that our family Xiangfang has been operating in Liangcheng for so many years, and there is no problem." Honeysuckle squinted at the man beside him, and said disdainfully, "You people, you won't let go if you grab a hand, you see, what kind of destruction our storefront has become, are you worthy of it!" ”
Honeysuckle is full of confidence, which makes the crowd led by the bald head immediately sluggish momentum, everyone look at me, I look at you, they all regret today's impulse, the Cheng family walked sideways in Xiping, if people are held accountable, the people they are present are afraid that none of them will be able to run.
"That's it."
At the critical moment, Cheng Qi opened his mouth and said: "It is said that those who don't know are not guilty, and today's matter, I will not pursue you." Turning his head to Zhou Laolang, he said, "Such an allergy, what is the way to diagnose and treat it?" ”
Zhou Laolang thought for a while: "It's not that I just keep taking that fish and meat, everyone clears the stomach and intestines, and then drinks some detoxification and antipyretic potions, there should be no problem, but the weakness and fatigue can be relieved for a few days." ”
Cheng Qi bowed his head and looked at those who were tormented by the itching of the rash, especially those children who shrunk in the crooks of adults' arms.
"It's not a big deal." Cheng Qi sighed helplessly and said, "In this way, the potion for the treatment of this rash will be boiled in our pharmacy, set up a pot at the door, and distribute it to everyone." ”
Cheng Yan and the others don't have any opinions, it's time to do it well, so just be a good person to the end, not only can you use the misunderstood grievances to gain the sympathy of the people, but also win the favor and support of everyone because you are not guilty of the past.
What's more, those potions don't cost much silver.
"Rest assured, girl."
Zhou Laolangzhong also agreed with Cheng Qi's approach, and he was the heart of the doctor's parents, so he said: "The old man will take Xiao Tong back to prepare." ”
"Auntie...... Girl. ”
When the bald head, who was still howling early in the morning, heard this, he immediately felt guilty, and the people everywhere were also ashamed, but they didn't expect Cheng Qi not only to not pursue it, but also to do this.
"It's okay, if you still have the spirit when the rash is gone, go to the government to testify against our Cheng family."
Cheng Qi said very calmly.
Cheng Lan was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted: "Grandma, what do you want?" ”
"Causing such a loss to our Xiangfang and ruining the reputation of my Cheng family, how can I let them go." Cheng Qi's attitude was cold again, "Besides, it's already winter, and Suishui is frozen, where did their Song family get those carp to sell, I think ...... It's the fish fry released by our Cheng family. ”
Cheng Lan was stunned, glared and said, "This ......"
Cheng Dai said: "Sister, don't guess wrong. "Analyze carefully, "The fish fry released by our Cheng family, even now, can only grow to the size of a palm, where is as fat as they say, not to mention, this fish fry is released to pray for heavenly blessings, it is entrusted by Ge Envoy, and there is a deal with the government, no one is allowed to salvage, even if Boss Song has the courage to do it." ”
"Businessmen, naturally, are mercenary."
Cheng Yan said lightly: "Over the years, how much business has their Song family squeezed out by our Cheng family, whether it is deliberate revenge or the end of the road, in short, these people have a rash all over their bodies after eating his family's fish, so they can't let go of the culprit." ”
Cheng Qi bowed his head and said neatly: "Ah Qiao, go to the official mansion to beat the drum, let's settle the account with the Song family thoroughly!" ”
"Yes!" The man ran away.
Cheng Qi turned around and ordered: "This matter, I will go with Cheng Yan, eldest brother, you and the third child hurry back to the mansion and tell your grandmother about the matter, don't let them worry." ”
How could Cheng Lan not be worried, she immediately grabbed Cheng Qi's hand and said, "Grandma, it's not a good thing to go to court here, let's talk to the second and third uncles and tell them to come forward." ”
Cheng Yan said on the side: "No need, I can go with Cheng Qi." Lower his voice, "Because of the matter of worshipping Tiantong Dibao, Cheng Qi and I ...... laughed nonsense in front of the hall, and suffered a lot of rumors, if this fish matter is handed over to me and Cheng Qi to come out for everyone, there will be a chance to alleviate it, which is also for the sake of Changfang's reputation. ”
Cheng Lan only cared about the safety of her younger brothers and sisters, and didn't think about it carefully, so she nodded at this time, telling the two of them to be smart, and then left with Cheng Dai.
"Gone."
Seeing that the crowd gradually dispersed, everyone went to Jixin Pharmacy to wait for the potion, Cheng Yan dragged Cheng Qi and wanted to go to the official mansion, but who knew that he was dragged by a person halfway to the trouser legs, and when he looked down, it was Pang Guang.
The man claimed to have done the Cheng family a great favor, his face was full of anticipation and joy, and he raised his head and said, "Young Master Zongyu, let's ...... this time Let's work together. ”
Who knew that Cheng Yan was expressionless, and rejected him in one bite: "What cooperation?" ”
The smile on Pang Guang's face froze, and he said, "Sell my aphrodisiac in our pharmacy?" ”
"Not for sale."
Cheng Yan threw down such a sentence, dragged Cheng Qi and left, the latter looked back at Pang Guang, who was almost out of his body, shook his head with a smile, and said, "You are too conscienceless." ”
Cheng Yan ignored it.
…
…
Above the public hall, Xu Fujun sat on top and glanced at Cheng Qi sitting next to him, who had changed into a clean winter robe, his hair was neat, his face was calm, and Cheng Yan was standing behind him, like a bodyguard.
The Xin Yi and the Xin who were waiting were waiting outside.
Although there are not many people from the Cheng family, they are all extremely weighty, not to mention the current situation, after the mutiny, one of these two people has been promoted to a fourth-grade beauty, and the other has a yellow coat given by the emperor.
What's more, the current situation is clear and clear.
He coughed lightly, pulled out a wooden card and threw it, and said, "Give it to this official." ”
"Yes."
Immediately two servants on the left and right stepped forward, pressed the man who was kneeling under the hall, and the left and right wheels began to work, and the heavy beating sounded, and approached the man's wail, one higher than the other.
The person who was beaten was the son of the Song family's account office, named Gao Xuan.
This is a well-known wine bag and rice bag, stuffed with silver and can't take out the words, then go to the punishment, sure enough, before the sixth hit, the high can not stand the punishment, slap the ground indiscriminately, and recruit.
"I... I say...... I say! ”
Gao Xuan was sweating profusely, his lips were white, and his legs were kicking wildly: "I'll say anything!" ”
But Xu Fujun didn't let him stop, and the official continued to beat with a cane, Gao Xuan almost rolled his eyes, quickly stretched out his hand to Cheng Qi's position, and shouted: "Auntie...... Girl! You... Spare me! ”
Cheng Qi said: "That's enough." ”
Xu Fujun leaned back, raised his hand and said, "Don't fight." He took a deep breath, and he didn't expect this matter to be reviewed in a few boards, "Say whatever you want." ”
Gao Sui felt that his buttocks were about to bloom, and he twitched all over, and said with ten teeth: "Yes...... The fish is indeed our ...... Fished up from the lower reaches of Suishui. ”
Cheng Yan hugged his arms and said, "But our Cheng family's released fish fry?" ”
Gao Xuan nodded, and the sweat crackled down.
Xu Fujun frowned and said, "But the fish fry that were released...... How long has it been and how did it grow? ”
Gao Xuan finally explained clearly: "Yes...... We fished the fry, put it in a bucket, fed it with a pill to promote growth, and they grew so big, and then we took it out and sold it. ”
"That's right."
Cheng Qi said with certainty: "It's because you have been fed the medicine that pulls out the seedlings, so the people eat it, and they will get rashes, right?" ”
Gao Xuan looked embarrassed: "This ...... I don't know what's wrong with that medicine. ”
"You are so bold!"
Xu Fujun suddenly slapped the case and said sharply in the hall: "That's the fish fry released by the order of Ge Yuanjun and used to pray for heavenly blessings!" So that the king explicitly forbids not fishing! You knowingly commit it! ”
Gao Xuan shrank his shoulders in fright, not daring to say anything more.
"Fujun!"
Just as Xu Fujun was furious, a servant outside came in and said, "Song Tang brought it!" ”
Xu Fujun sat down, his face tense: "Bring it in!" ”
"Yes."
"Get in, get in!"
The servant pushed a middle-aged man in, and there was a man behind him, who was Gao Xuan's father, and after Gao Ling saw Gao Xuan who was in pain on the ground, he immediately hated iron and steel: "You...... You rebel! ”
Song Tang didn't care about Gao Xuan's life or death, when he learned that Gao Xuan was taken away by the servants, he knew that the matter would definitely be revealed, that person was not doing anything, eating nothing, and he would definitely clean up the matter.
Song Tang was pushed and forced to kneel on the ground, looking up at Cheng Qi not far away, the man also looked over, a pair of peach blossom eyes were cold, and the sense of oppression that overrode him made him very uncomfortable.
"Song Tang."
Cheng Qi said slowly: "Gao Xuan has already explained all your pickling affairs, and there are people outside waiting to testify, you caught and released the fish first, and sold the fish to cause the people to fall ill later, and deceived the superiors and subordinates without repentance, these two crimes are combined, do you have anything else to explain?" ”
Cheng Qi said it in such an orderly manner, Xu Fujun looked at it strangely, and then calmly retracted it: "You also heard what Miss Fang Caiqi said, Song Tang, do you have any other medicine to quibble?" ”
Song Tang admitted, their Song family has been selling fish in Liangcheng for so many years, and it has been smooth sailing, until the emergence of the Cheng family twenty years ago, the market is monopolized, one family is dominant, and countless fish shops have closed down, only their Song family is still trying to survive in the cracks, and now it is impossible to turn the tide, I didn't expect that even a bite on the verge of death could not be done.
"Cheng Qi."
Song Tang complained unwillingly: "Without your old Cheng family doing business, you will have a share and not give other families a way to live, my brother will be forced to death by your Cheng family!" ”
"Fart!"
Honeysuckle shouted outside: "Your brother went to the Goolan brothel and died of a disease contaminated with Hualiu!" When did it fall on the head of our Cheng family again! rots your dog's tongue! ”
"Not bad." Xi Xin also coldly agreed, "Our master was going to take over your family's stellar business at that time, but your eldest brother didn't do it, so he had to do that rope, and now he screwed himself to death, and he didn't want others." ”
Song Tang was choked by these two people with reason, his face turned red, and his temples jumped up and down.
"Song Tang."
Cheng Qi said lightly: "Our Cheng family has always done business reasonably, and we have never squeezed your Song family in the market, and there is no so-called monopoly." "Got up slowly, "What's more, this matter has nothing to do with the grievances between our two families, you don't want to climb around and confuse the public." ”
Song Tang gritted his teeth, but heard the sound of a waking wood slapping on his head.
…
…
"Old lady, madam, Miss Qi and Young Master Zongyu are back."
In the courtyard, the red ginseng came to pass the ceremony, Mrs. Cheng hurriedly called the two children in, and instructed Zhou's mother to bring the prepared food, and asked uneasily, "Why did you come back?" ”
Cheng Qi and the others came in and sat down, Cheng Yan saw that she was hungry and moved her chopsticks directly, so she took the initiative to reply: "Grandmother, don't worry, Grandma and I came back to the pharmacy, so we came back late." ”
Gu nodded, looked at Cheng Qi's blessed appearance, and said indifferently: "It's good to come back, I told my mother about this matter, you did a good job, but the Song family is ......."
Cheng Yan was a little worried that the snail was eaten by Cheng Qi, so he quickly patted her arm, who knew that the person was buried in hard work and looked like no one was paying attention, he just resigned himself to his fate: "The Song family recruited everything, the fish was made by them, and those people had a rash, also because the medicine that fed the fish had nothing to do with our Xiangfang." ”
"That ......"
Cheng Lan asked, "Can the prince be sentenced?" ”
"Exile."
Cheng Qi finally raised her head, and at the same time, the plate of the snail was empty, she ignored Cheng Yan's resentful eyes, took the handkerchief handed by Qingmiao and wiped her mouth: "This matter, the big thing is that the fish fry are released, and the prince is also angry with the boss, but he pity those guys and was taken to the mine in Dayi Mountain to do hard labor." ”
"What is there to be pitied." Cheng Dai said disdainfully, "You can't live if you do your own evil." ”
Cheng Qi chuckled twice and continued to eat.
"Qiubai, the injury on your arm, it's okay." Cheng Yan ate Cheng Qi's leftover dishes, turned back to Cheng Lan and asked, "That bald donkey is not light or heavy, and you still asked me to spare him." ”
"Be forgiving."
Cheng Lan smiled lightly, looking extremely gentle and ordinary: "They are also angry, you are good, you almost broke the man's arm." ”
Cheng Yan raised his eyebrows, took out a medicine bottle from his sleeve, handed it over, and said: "In the afternoon, when I Cheng Qi and I went to the pharmacy to see those people, I asked Zhou Laolangzhong to ask for it, after you put it on, ask Honeysuckle to give you a good rub, and the bruise should be able to retreat tomorrow." ”
Honeysuckle took it: "The slave only knew, and Young Master Lao Zongyu bothered to do so." ”
"You're welcome."
Cheng Yan said, turned around and stretched out his chopsticks and grabbed the meat and vegetables with Cheng Qi.
"You...... It's too much Cheng Qi! ”
And Mrs. Cheng looked at the four children in the long room in this house, although they were noisy, but the strength was not ordinarily tight, she nodded lightly, and her heart was also very comforted.
