Chapter 204 Chaos

Li Chang also grabbed a handful of the man's rice and looked at it, and sure enough, as his wife said, there were more broken rice: "Yes! The rice in our shop is full of grains, and anyone who has bought it knows it.

If you don't believe me, you can compare and compare first, we are not lying.We have already talked about this, if the two of you still want to find fault, then we have to report to the official to deal with it. "

The man immediately turned around and looked at the county residents, and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense, we obviously bought the rice from their shop.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, they might have removed the things a long time ago, so how could it be possible to put them on the bright side?
If you don't believe me, you can ask the clerk in the shop, did I buy rice in the shop? "

The old woman also said: "Everyone is here to judge, the rice I bought in their shop a few days ago, I bought it back and put it in the tank for good.

Unexpectedly, when I took it out to cook last night, it was moldy.Tell me, does their shop sell poor rice? "

After the crowd of onlookers listened, they started whispering discussions again, the sound was so loud that it seemed like a swarm of bees were buzzing.

Looking at this scene, Zheng Lanlan frowned, pulled Li Chang, walked to Li Dahu who was trotting fast beside him, and said in a low voice: "Dahu, go and ask the county magistrate or the yamen servant Come."

Li Dahu nodded, and while no one was paying attention to him, a child, he ran quickly towards the county government.

Zheng Lanlan walked back to Li Chang's side, covered her lips and whispered, "I told Du Hu to call Master Wu."

Li Kai nodded: "Then go in and sit down first, they may want to go in and look at our things later."

"Row!"

However, as soon as Zheng Lanlan crossed the threshold, she heard a voice behind her asking, "Did I ask you, have they ever bought rice in your shop? Or have they only gone in?"

Li Chang raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, then waved to his younger brother standing behind him, telling him to come forward: "We run the shop, and I'm not in the shop all the time.
But I believe that anyone who has bought rice in my shop knows that the person next to me has sold rice in the shop, so he can know best whether these two have bought rice in the shop. "

The second child of Li Chang's aunt's family, Liu Ercheng is the most flexible, and he can speak well on weekdays, but now he comes to help Li Chang buy rice, and he is very talkative.

Now being picked up by the elder brother Li Chang, he glanced at Li Chang in a daze, still thinking whether to say he had seen it or not.

But seeing Li Chang's firm and steady eyes, he said without any concealment: "We did greet them a few days ago, but it wasn't this uncle who came that day, but the aunt beside him.

At that time, the shop was still within the activity range of buying five catties and getting half a catty free. I saw that my aunt looked bad, so I gave away a few taels more.

The other one was also greeted by me. At that time, I was particularly impressed by this aunt, because she saw the good quality of the rice grains in our shop, and she praised it with a smile, saying that it was worth buying the high-quality japonica rice for nine copper coins. .

Before leaving, he turned his head and told me that he would come to the shop to buy next time. "

After saying that, the old woman immediately said to the county residents: "Look, they have admitted it themselves, we are not slandering them, are we? Everyone buy rice in the future, you must keep your eyes open."

The county residents nodded and said yes.

Seeing that this matter was about to be fooled, Zheng Lanlan stepped over the threshold and said righteously:

"You have indeed bought rice in our shop, but the moldy rice and sub-rice you showed us just now are not from my shop. The two things cannot be confused at all.

Just now we were thinking of letting you go after exposing you, but we didn't expect you to want to pour dirty water on our heads.That being the case, don't blame us for reporting to the official. "

At this time, a voice sounded from the county residents: "You have long had such a relationship as an adult, are you still using this to suppress us people?"

As soon as this remark came out, those county residents who watched the excitement immediately responded to this sentence, muttering in unison to ask for an explanation.

In the blink of an eye, the voice became a little louder, even with a crusading tone, and the situation got a little out of control.

Fearing that these people would rush up, Li Chang quickly blocked his wife behind him. Liu Dacheng and Liu Ercheng who were behind him also stood behind the two of them in an instant, looking at these people vigilantly.

Li Chang waved his hands and said in a loud voice: "Everyone, be quiet! Although we have some relations with the Lord, the Lord is a good official who enforces the law impartially, and only recognizes things that are well-founded!"

At this time, another voice sounded from the crowd: "Since that's the case, we're going to go into the shop now to see if it's the same as what you guys said. Come on, everyone go in and have a look!"

The county residents didn't even think about it, as if they were being bewitched, they rushed into the shop following these words.

Liu Ercheng and Liu Dacheng looked at each other, and before those people arrived, they turned around and closed the door of the shop, standing side by side at the door to prevent anyone from taking advantage of it.

Zheng Lanlan and Li Chang also thought of this, and they hurriedly retreated together to block the door of the shop.

Unexpectedly, these people didn't seem to be afraid at all, they didn't even pause, they rushed over, passed through a few walls of people to squeeze the doors and windows, and kept shouting: Open the door, open the door, are you guilty?

In an instant, the scene was extremely chaotic, and the closed door was slammed into a crackling sound. From a distance, it seemed that some major riot had taken place.

When Wu Xinan and Gao Wan sat in sedan chairs and brought over a dozen yamen servants, they saw this scene.

Wuxi Nan was afraid of accidents, and was angry that these people were indiscriminate. After the sedan chair was stabilized, he immediately got out of the sedan chair and shouted violently:

"Stop it all! In broad daylight, the sky is bright, what are you doing? Are you a vegetarian when you are an official?

Where is the yamen servant?Press all these troublemakers to the ground and beat them with ten boards! "

However, these people's voices were too loud, and he didn't hear Wuxi Nan's voice at all. He immediately frowned, and was about to let these yamen servants open a way, when he saw his wife handing a gong to Ji Ya head.

In an instant, crisp "Dang Dang Dang" sounded one after another, instantly overwhelming the chatter of these people.

Then, when the scene fell silent, those people turned their heads and saw their county magistrate standing behind them with a dark face, looking very angry.

The county residents were so frightened by the momentum that they couldn't speak, one by one, they walked from the crowd to Wuxinan, saluted respectfully, and shouted: "My lord."

Seeing that these people finally calmed down and no longer looked like they were being lowered, Wu Xinan heaved a sigh of relief, and at the same time repeated what these people hadn't heard just now with a serious face.

"Yamen servants, each of these people who gather to make trouble will be beaten ten boards! The rest will be discussed later!"

"Yes!"

Then he passed the crowd, ignoring the county residents who wanted to grab his trouser legs and begged for mercy, and walked step by step towards Zheng Lanlan and Li Chang who were scratched and squeezed into a mess blocking the door.
