Chapter 25: False Accusations
Pei Baoer didn't know that her partner was already plotting to steal her "ancestral secret recipe", but at this moment, when she went home slowly, she had another thing in her heart.
Because the first time I was a makeup lady was to go to the Su family, I also had a relationship with Mrs. Su, and I met her sister-in-law several times, and later because of the case of Liu Yun and Lin Si, I forced any of the previous county orders to step down, which cheapened Su County. This adds up to all the things, which leads to Mrs. Su's very good impression of Pei Baoer, plus she is not very old, she is six or seven years older than Pei Baoer, and she is considered to be the same age, so she did not put any official wife on the shelf, and today at the small banquet of the Lin family, she secretly said a lot of small things to Pei Baoer.
Among them, there is a public case of any previous county order, speaking of which, it has a little to do with Pei Baoer.
This time, Ruyu Pavilion recruited female workers, and Luo was selected a few days ago, and it was also decided by Pei Baoer and Qin's shopkeeper after discussion.
At that time, Ma was very angry, and shouted for Pei Baoer to give an explanation: "Obviously, there is not much difference between me and what she sells, and there are more things sold, why choose her instead of me?" ”
Pei Bao'er explained: "In terms of sales performance, the overall level of the two of you is about the same, but," she paused, "To be honest, the performance of the first round was better than Roche's, but Shopkeeper Qin and I saw that you have a good temperament, but you are a buddy, so we decided to take a look." Unexpectedly, that day, a tall and thin guest accidentally knocked down a few boxes of lipstick, but you forced her to buy everything, but this is the case? ”
Ma Shi was shocked in his heart, and immediately quibbled, "The porcelain box has been broken by her, if she doesn't buy it, no one else will buy it." ”
"But how did I see that the guest was so close to you at that time? When the so-called bump happened, you happened to lead her to look at the rouge on the upper shelf, and said that she was not tall and asked her to take it herself, and her sleeves were wide, so she brought down several boxes of lipstick......"
Ma's face was red and white for a while, only to know that his careful thoughts were seen by others, and he didn't have the cheekiness to continue to make trouble, so he turned his head and was about to leave. took two steps, but turned back in a huff, and swept away the discount coupon that Pei Baoer had put on the counter.
Pei Baoer could see clearly that before leaving, the Ma family looked at her with resentment, presumably because she hated herself because she was defeated.
Unexpectedly, only a few days later, the Ma family actually dragged her mother's father and brother to the court to make a fuss, but it was not for losing the election, but for two crimes.
The first one to sue Ruyuge, accusing Ruyuge's products of inferior quality, she bought a box of makeup powder some time ago, but she used a rash on her face. Ma Shi went masked at that time, and cried tears on the spot, and took off his scarf to show the official for inspection, but there was a small red bump on each cheek, which looked strange and scary.
The second one was the former county order, saying that at that time, He County ordered to buy and sell and take away a cow from the Ma family, and they were afraid of power and fear of being retaliated by He County, so they could only "endure humiliation and burden", and waited until the new county magistrate Su took office to sue.
After listening to the two "cases" that Mrs. Su said, Pei Baoer was speechless.
This Ma is really cheeky enough, it seems that the previous judgment of "Ma is suitable for sales" is correct, but this person is too eager for quick success and has taken the wrong path.
Because one of the two cases is related to the Lin family, and the other is related to the former magistrate, Master Su is a little embarrassed.
Let's talk about the Lin family first. Although He County's order was dismissed because he wrongly judged Lin Si's case and offended a certain nobleman for personal gain, Lin Si was just a cousin of Lin Hu, and that incident did not bring any turmoil to the Lin family, but Lin Si was tied back to the countryside by his pungent wife, which shows that the backer behind the Lin family is still stable. Now this little Ma family is also coming to get along with the Lin family's newly opened shop, and this time there is no Yushi to support them again!
Let's talk about the other side of the He family. Although the He county order is not a county order, it can still be regarded as half an official, if it is done properly and encounters any chance, it is very possible to change places and become an official again. And the He family is a big family in a neighboring county, and the Su family has a shallow foundation in Taixing County, so he doesn't dare to offend anyone casually.
But not long after Lord Su took office, he still took the path of exceptional promotion, and his foundation was unstable.
After weighing left and right again, Lord Su decided to suppress the situation, send someone to the neighboring county to send a letter to Lao Shangfeng, and asked his wife to come out to socialize. Find out the situation before you decide what to do. If the Ma family is reasonable, they will be moved by the Lin family and the He family to reason, let them break a small fortune to eliminate the disaster, and this matter will pass.
Mrs. Su saw that Pei Baoer had shares in Ruyu Pavilion, and she heard that the products in the shop were all handled by her, if the rash was true, she must be unable to get rid of it, so she sold her a favor and gave her a wind in advance.
Thinking of this, Pei Baoer was a little chilled.
Because, Mrs. Lin never mentioned this matter to her at all, and it was a few days ago that the Ma family went to sue the official, and the Lin family must have gotten the news early.
"So, Aunt Chen's words are really not wrong. Merchants are very profitable......"
Pei Bao'er raised her eyes and looked at the lead-gray sky, it seemed that it was snowing again, and she quickened her pace in a depressed mood.
When I got home, I saw Xiao Yan'er running around the yard with her hands dancing on the ground, her hands wide open, and her mouth whining, looking like she was "flying"? She was even more irritable, and she had no interest in lowering her IQ and talking to him, and she didn't even pay attention to what flying heroes he muttered.
Then, Pei Bao'er said this at the dinner table, except for Xiao Yan'er, who didn't understand, everyone frowned.
"If this matter is not good, I am afraid that the Lin family will push you out to carry the black pot." Liu Yun was worried.
She smiled reluctantly, "It shouldn't be so ruthless, without me, who are they looking for to stock up?" He teased with a smile, "It's not like you two want to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, right?" ”
Liu Yun and Dani naturally said no, and the latter still swore to the sky with tears in his eyes, which scared her.
After doing this, the atmosphere at the dinner table finally became lively, and Liu Yun thought about it and felt that it had not reached that point. Then he said: "What you said is reasonable, Mrs. Lin will not be so short-sighted, the profit in the fat powder shop is too big, she will not give up easily." At worst, it's just a matter of spending some money. ”
Pei Baoer frowned and objected, "So many people use it, but she said that there is a problem, and it happens that after we resigned, there is definitely a problem!" That Ma seems to be a profit-seeking, this kind of villain has the most in the world. If she slanders her once, I'm afraid that she will come again, and worse, everyone may follow suit. At that time, this shop will really not be able to open. ”
She pondered for a moment and began to talk to herself: "Since that Ma has a rash, he must have seen it with a doctor, why don't I go to the city Chinese medicine hall and ask to see what her situation is?" Liu Yun also came up with an idea: "Is the Ma family's husband's family and his mother's family in the same village?" Why don't I go and find out tomorrow, and I can't tell if their neighbors know the inside story. ”
The two of them were talking like this, Dani sat aside and listened silently, and put a chopstick vermicelli into the bowl, but a sentence suddenly popped out of her mouth.
"Could it be that the horse lady ate something unclean?" She looked at Pei Bao'er, whose eyes were slightly bright, pointed to the bean sprouts mixed with vermicelli on the plate with chopsticks, and explained: "I can't eat bean sprouts when I am young, my tongue will be numb and my face will be swollen when I eat it." So I thought, will it ......?"
Before she finished her words, Pei Baoer thought of it.
Yes, rash is also one of the symptoms of allergies, is it possible that Ma is also allergic to a certain food? She is such an adult, she must know her situation very well, if it is to falsely accuse Ruyu Pavilion, it is not impossible to deliberately make herself look miserable!
After the He family received the news handed over by Master Su, they were not so troubled by Pei Bao'er.
Mrs. He, who had just recovered from her illness, held her forehead and snorted coldly: "This Ma family is really a big dog!" Think that if the master has no official, our family can let him do it? At that time, it was their family who said it clearly, selling cattle to us at market prices, but turning around and saying that we were oppressing him, where is there such an unreasonable person! It's thicker than the city walls! ”
Based on her upbringing, Mrs. He couldn't scold any more, so she could only sit aside and sulk.
He Baixin thought more at this time, and was a little satisfied with Su Qian, the young successor and former subordinate, and finally didn't misunderstand him. This is not a big deal, at that time, in order to push the cow, the Yang family and the Ma family came to the yamen to complain, but there were documents on file. As long as the records are found out and it proves that he is buying cattle according to the normal procedure of your will, this Ma family will not be able to do anything no matter how hard his mouth is.
He didn't trust it too much, so he went directly to Taixing County and told Su Qian clearly in person.
"That's the case, just look at the dossier around September."
Su Qian frowned and asked people to look for it, and after waiting for a while, the document came to tell him with a worried face, but he couldn't find it.
Although He Baixin has been out of office for two months, he still has some residual power in the face of these old subordinates, and immediately glared when he heard this: "What nonsense are you talking about!" How could I not find it? If the old man remembers correctly, if it wasn't the end of August, or the beginning of September, it would definitely be before Chongyang. Look for it again! ”
Su Qian knew that because the warehouse where the files were stored went on fire a while ago, some files were burned, and because there were not many copies, and the imperial history had just left, he didn't pay much attention to it. Who would have thought that there was such a crucial dossier right here?
"This is really the negligence of the younger generation......"
After learning about this, He Baixin was immediately not calm. If it weren't for the embarrassment in Su Qian's eyes in front of him, he also knew a little bit about this former subordinate, and if he couldn't say it, he would really think that he was digging a pit for himself to jump.
"The old man still has to think of a way, and it would be best if he could find the people who witnessed in the court that day, so that they could testify for you. It's just that the errand person at that time couldn't testify for you, after all, you need to avoid suspicion, and please be more considerate. ”
He Baixin walked out of the county office with an old face, and was thinking hard about which familiar idlers were in the court that day, but suddenly patted his head and shouted.
"Ouch, look at my foolish brain, isn't Pei Niangzi the best witness......"
So, the former old county commander "condescended to his own family" and went to the house of the original hired worker to intercede.
