Chapter 146 Resolving the Disturbance - Part I
"Well, it's okay, it's all skin trauma, just rub some ointment." Lao Langzhong seriously looked at the injured shopkeeper and his fellow men, "The injury on the forehead of the shopkeeper is a little more serious, remember not to touch the water these days, in case the wound becomes inflamed." β
"Okay, I've got you covered." Shopkeeper Wang nodded and thanked him.
"That's what I'm supposed to do." The old man smiled kindly, "Okay, the injuries are all over, then the old man will go back first......
"Old man, please stay." Leisurely came in through the door.
"Does Miss Qin have any other orders?"
"Yes, I'm sure you've heard some rumors about my shop; Just in time for someone to make trouble today, I have already sent someone to invite the county magistrate and the squires to ask for a while, and I will ask the old man to stay for a while, so that he can help me check whether the vegetables and fruits in this store are poisonous? With a smile on his lips, he told him what he thought.
The old man glanced out inadvertently and saw the situation here, "Okay, the old man will stay to bother the young lady for a while." β
Listening to his promise, he nodded with a smile and thanked him, "Thank you, I'm sorry for your trouble." β
"It's not troublesome, it's not troublesome, it's a kind of fate to be able to help Miss Qin today." The old man smiled and waved his hand.
Leisurely smiled back, and was thinking about saying something more, but Qin Haoran's voice came from outside the door: "You'er, the county commander has arrived, come out to greet ......"
Leisurely stunned, this is too timely, right? She expected to wait a little longer!
Walked out of the house quickly, and together with Qin Haoran and a few others, he greeted the person in official uniform.
"Meet your lordshipβ"
The magistrate of Mo County, surnamed Guo, is a middle-aged man with a big belly; He has a round head, a kind face, and a smile like a Maitreya Buddha.
"Hahaha...... Hurry up! This is not a county office, so there is no need for so many courtesies. β
"Master Xie."
"Presumably, these are Qin Gongzi, Shang Gongzi, and Sikong Gongzi, right? I've heard of a few daimyo for a long time, but I haven't had the chance to see each other, and today I finally got what I wanted. It's just that I don't know what a few people are doing when they come to me? Master Guo touched his bulging belly and asked with a smile.
"Your Excellency, you are a blessing to be able to invite you today." Qin Haoran was the first to speak, politely greeting him.
Master Guo seemed to be very satisfied with this kind of flattering words, and his smile became more and more kind; Turning his gaze, he saw a few people who were suppressed by the breeze, and asked, "Oh, by the way, what's going on?"
"Lord Hui, that's right." Qin Haoran continued: "This vegetable and fruit pavilion is my Qin family's industry, and it has been open here in Mo County for more than half a month. It's just that for some reason, there have been some bad rumors coming out recently. Today, my brother and sister and the merchant son Sikong Gongzi went out to eat and returned, and these villagers gathered at the door of my store for some reason, shouting for us to get out of Mo County; What's more, these people also injured my shopkeeper and his buddies with stones, so they specially posted an underground post, asking adults to come and administer justice, and even more to return our innocence. β
"Oh? And such a thing? Master Guo frowned, looking dissatisfied.
How could such a riot-like thing happen in the realm he controlled himself? Someone must have organized it! Well, it seems that he has to take care of it if he doesn't want to take care of it this time, and this will be transmitted to other counties, and his face as a county magistrate is not good-looking.
What's more, the identities of these people are not simple, especially the Sikong son, the young master of the Sikong family, even if he is an official, he can't afford to provoke him as a businessman.
"Don't worry, since Lord Ben is here, this matter will definitely be investigated and dealt with by you." Master Guo said very heroically.
"There's Lord Law." Qin Haoran bowed respectfully and bowed to him.
"Lord Guo, we also invited a few squires and old men, and we want them to be witnesses, but we haven't arrived yet, why don't we wait in the vegetable and fruit pavilion for a while?" With a leisurely smile, he spoke, "Tea and fruit snacks are already prepared inside, my lord, please-"
"Haha, I didn't expect you guys to be so thoughtful, okay! Let's wait for ...... while drinking tea," Master Guo smiled and took the lead and walked in.
Leaving a crowd of onlookers, it was so lively to talk to each other.
"Lord Zhixian is really here, it seems that the owner of this vegetable and fruit xuan has a lot of face!"
"Uh-huh, yes!"
"After a while, when the invited squires arrive, there will definitely be a good show! Hehe, I didn't expect to come out and go shopping today without anything to do, and I could encounter such a wonderful thing......"
"In other words, is this rumor true or false that the vegetables and fruits in the Vegetable and Fruit Xuan are poisonous? Does any of you know? β
"Who knows? But it's just a rumor, I haven't seen anyone actually eat fruit and get poisoned. β
"Hearing you say that, this thing is fake, isn't it?"
"I can't say that. Hi! What the hell is going on, we can't guess just here? Didn't the county magistrate say that he wanted to find out? Let's just watch here, and there will always be the truth of the matter. β
"Uh-huh! You have a point. We're just here to watch......"
"Yes, yesβ"
The noise outside didn't affect the scene inside.
After Mr. Guo walked into the Vegetable and Fruit Pavilion, the first thing he saw was that he was attracted by the shelves full of fruits and vegetables. He had long heard that there was such a shop selling fruits and vegetables in Nancang County, and the goods sold in it were rare and delicious in the world.
He also sent someone to Nancang County to buy fruits, because his new concubine was happy and clamoring about what strawberries to eat, so he sent someone to buy some back.
However, when the strawberries were really hot at that time, only a few came back after waiting in line for a long time, and in order to make the concubine happy, he didn't eat any of them. But just by looking at the way the concubine's eyes lit up, he knew that it must be delicious.
"This is a strawberry, right?" Master Guo asked, pointing to the red and bright fruits in a bamboo basket not far away.
"Well, yes! Do adults recognize this? He looked at him leisurely and wondered, thinking to himself that this county magistrate had also bought something in the Vegetable and Fruit Pavilion?
You can't blame her for being careful, because the store here in Moxian County has only been open for half a month, and recently due to the 'fruit poisoning' incident, the business of this vegetable and fruit store is not good! There are the vast majority of people who are in the wait-and-see stage and have not actually bought and eaten.
"Haha, I'm ashamed to say that the concubine at home was diagnosed with pregnancy a month ago, and in order to make her happy, I specially ordered someone to go to Nancang County to buy this thing!" Master Guo explained with a smile.
"Oh, that's congratulations!" He smiled leisurely and said hello to him, then turned his head to the evening cloud behind him and whispered: "Wait for a fruit basket of strawberries to be sent to Lord Guo's mansion." Oh, and choose a few fruits that are suitable for women and pregnant women, and send them together. β
"Yes, miss." Wanyun nodded and wrote it down.
Master Guo's eyes lit up, and he glanced at him leisurely with appreciation, "Let Miss Qin break the bank." β
"If you say it, think of it as a thank you gift to adults! Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule. He replied with a leisurely smile.
"Hahahaha...... Then I'll accept it unceremoniously. β
I have long seen that this girl is not ordinary, but I didn't expect it to be such a transparent person who can do things, and she really deserves to be the daughter taught by the Qin Mansion of the Southern Imperial Mansion for a hundred years!
Qin Yanran, Shang Moqi, and Sikong Mingyi followed silently, looking at the politeness of Youran and that Master Guo, and quietly praised Youran in his heart.
Sure enough, You'er (Sister Youran) has a way, and she has never stopped laughing when she coaxed this county magistrate.
Talking and laughing, time passed quickly. When a few squires came, Lord Guo Zhixian was already eating fruits in the Vegetable and Fruit Pavilion.
"Your Excellency."
"Master Guo......"
"Oh? Are you here? Master Guo raised his head and beckoned to them happily, "Come on, come and try this fruit platter, it's delicious!" I promise, it's never tasted like ever! β
"Yes, then we might as well be respectful."
In fact, as soon as they entered, they were attracted by the fruity aroma of the room. For this dynasty with only peaches, plums, apricots, and dates in summer, all kinds of colorful modern fruits are tempting and attractive!
"Oops! This red fruit is really sweet! Mr. Zhou, who had a goatee, held a strawberry and admired it while eating.
"This yellow cancan is petal-by-petal, and it's also delicious. The flesh is soft and juicy, sweet and delicious. Master Qiao, who was wearing a blue satin robe, held the orange petal and commented.
"Hehe, this crunchy sweet fruit I ate is also very good!" Master Han was not to be left behind, and hurriedly spoke up.
"This vegetable and fruit Xuan really lives up to its name, and this fruit can be called a delicacy in the world!" Old Master Feng stroked his hanging beard and said with a smile.
"Isn't it just a delicacy in the world? I think even the immortal fruit that grows above the nine heavens is nothing more than that! Master Liu also spoke up, this opening is such a high evaluation.
"Hahaha...... A few of them are really people who can taste, and this is said one by one. I'm just a rough person, and I can't say anything nice, but these fruits are delicious! "Master Meng, who speaks roughly, was born in a martial arts business, and his family is a dart bureau, specializing in taking over the business of some commercial houses and delivering goods to bodyguards.
"Hahaha...... Okay, let's all eat and eat, isn't it time to get down to business? Old Master Feng said with a smile.
"Ah, yes! Where are the babies who invited us? Master Meng looked left and right, except for Guo Zhixian, he didn't find a few people in Qin Yan, "It's strange, this kid from the Qin family invited us over, where did he go?" β
"Oh? Does Master Meng know this son of the Qin family? Guo Zhixian looked at him curiously.
"Not really! I have known his father for a long time, and when the baby was young, I still hugged him! Master Meng simply explained their relationship to everyone, "But, what about them?" β
"Oh, hehe~ I said I went to find some relevant evidence!" Guo Zhixian replied naturally.
"Please wait a while, my young master and young lady will be back soon." The shopkeeper was afraid that a few people would turn their faces when they were in a hurry, so he hurriedly stepped forward to explain.
"Okay, we're not in a hurry, it's good to take this opportunity to eat more fruit......
