Chapter 254 Defrauding the Corpse (Part [-])
"You came just in time. My mother died of poisoning after eating the steamed stuffed buns in your shop. You have to give me an explanation, otherwise we will meet at the gate of the yamen and let the officials come and seal up your shop, and arrest you wolf-hearted profiteers and go to jail !" The man in filial piety growled viciously towards Jin Xi.

"Brother, our shop is open for business on this street. It's not a day or two. Not to mention selling poisonous buns that are harmful to people. Even if the fillings are left for a long time and the taste changes, we would rather throw them away. It will never be used for sale." Facing the roar of the man in filial piety, Jin Xi said calmly.Although the voice was not yelling, it was clear enough for everyone around to hear it clearly.

"You mean to say that I intentionally planted the blame on your shop? His grandma, if I want to plant the blame, I will not take my old lady's life as a reward!" The head-to-toe old woman shouted with reddened eyes: "My mother died after eating the meat buns in your shop. There are so many witnesses. Go confront me at the gate of the yamen!" He stepped forward to grab Jin Xi, and with A Cai closely following Jin Xi, the man naturally couldn't get close.

He was so anxious that he yelled, rolled on the ground and howled, cursing the cruelty of the world, the indifference of human feelings, and the profiteers bullying them because of their numbers.The daughter-in-law in filial piety who was kneeling by the door panel also intensified her crying at this time, kowtowing to the surrounding crowd, crying, "Everyone kind uncles and aunts, uncles and aunts, big brothers and big sisters, I beg you!" Please do us justice..."

The wind passed by, blowing the gray hair of the old woman on the door panel, which was extraordinarily miserable.

Among the crowd of onlookers, there were many people who tilted their emotional balance towards the poor family of three. Some even shouted: "The road is not flat and others step on it. You open the door to do business. They died after eating your buns. No matter what, I have to give an explanation, it’s really deceiving to dismiss it with just one sentence!”

"Be sure to give an explanation, otherwise, who will dare to go to your shop to eat in the future?"

"It's just..."

Hearing that the public opinion among the onlookers was all pointing at him, except Jin Xi, Liang Yuzhong and the others frowned and tried to defend themselves, but no one paid any attention, Zhang Zhang's beard was raised angrily.

Jin Xi noticed that the daughter-in-law in the white hat was kneeling there with her head bowed, a sneer of triumph was faintly curled up at the corner of her mouth.Jin Xi lowered her eyes and frowned slightly, then she turned her head and muttered something to Ah Cai who was beside her. Ah Cai nodded, turned around to push aside the crowd, and came back in the blink of an eye, holding a table in his hand.

With Ah Cai's support, Jin Xi stood on the table, so that everyone was under her gaze.

"Uncles and aunts, brothers and sisters-in-law, please be calm and calm, let me give you an explanation!" Jin Xi raised her hands and signaled to the people below, the discussion around her suddenly became much weaker, and everyone looked up Focus on Jin Xi who is on the table.The pair of men and women in sackcloth and filial piety raised their eyes to Jin Xi in surprise.

The sun shines from the top of the head, and the girl is wearing a sky blue long dress with long sleeves, which seems to be plated with a layer of golden light. The shiny and smooth braids hang down on her chest. On her delicate face, a pair of bright and clear eyes look around. There is no half-distracted and terrified expression on the face, but there is only a calm and pure demeanor.However, when her eyes looked around and finally landed on the pair of men and women in sackcloth and mourning, there was a trace of suppressed anger in the girl's eyes.

"Thanks to the folks and elders who take care of the business of our small shop, most of the customers who come to our shop are the residents of the nearby alleys, and the residents of other areas of the town further away. Occasionally, some villagers from the villages below come up, and they will Come here and take care of me, and here, I, Liang Jinxi, would like to thank you all!" After speaking, Jinxi lowered her head and bowed to everyone below.

"The things in your house are high-quality and cheap, and the attitude of the shopkeepers is good. Of course, we are willing to take care of your business!" Among the crowd, there were also some people who were optimistic about Qian Lixiang, and they also said at this time, and there were whispers all around again. Voice.

"Stop talking nonsense, I only believe that my mother ate your buns to death today, you have to explain!" The man in filial piety roared towards Jin Xi.

Jin Xi raised her hand again, motioned to her surroundings, and the surroundings became quiet again.

"Brother, you keep saying that your mother died after eating buns from our shop. The doctor confirmed the diagnosis. Then, can you tell me in detail whether your mother died after eating buns from our shop? ?" Jin Xi fixed her eyes on the man and asked.

"It's your meat bun!" he said loudly.

"There are no less than ten kinds of buns in my house. Some are all vegetarian, some are all meat, and some are mixed with meat and vegetables, such as mushrooms, vegetables and minced meat. The one your mother ate, what kind of stuffing is it in?" Jin Xi sneered lightly, and asked again.

The man's eyes rolled, and he said almost without hesitation: "Nonsense, of course I eat your big pork buns filled with soup, the kind that cost three pennies each!"

When Cui Xique and Qinya Xiulan heard the man's answer, their faces were filled with astonishment. Jin Xi cast a glance at them, and they immediately lowered their eyes and quickly concealed their emotions.

"Brother, are you sure that your mother died after eating my family's soup-stuffed pork buns this morning?" Jin Xi raised her voice and asked.

The man was also a little surprised, he nodded his head, and said louder: "That's right, that's exactly what happened, you guys killed my mother!"

"Have you listened carefully?" Jin Xi asked loudly the onlookers, who all nodded their heads.

Jin Xi suddenly laughed lightly, and said: "To be honest, all the old and new customers who come to our shop to eat buns these days should know that the pork stuffing in our shop has always been given by Zhang the butcher from the butcher market in the town supply."

Jin Xi glanced around, and said in a clear voice: "Something happened at Butcher Zhang's house, and it has been closed for several days, so, since three days ago, our Qianlixiang's soup-filled pork buns have also been changed to onion juice Big beef bun!"

Cui Xique and the others behind them finally let go of their heavy burdens one by one after hearing the words. Liang Yuzhong and Sun Erhu sneered and looked at the man in filial piety.But it's not right, every line of his lines is according to Master Shiba's orders!

"Since you heard it clearly, you can give a certificate for our shop!" Cui Xique also said loudly: "Our shop, but three days ago, we stopped selling pork buns filled with soup, and we can't find them in the shop." Half a tael of pork scraps and no pork buns, how did you buy them here?"

"That's right, our shop doesn't even make pork buns for sale. Don't you come here deliberately to find fault? You have to find out the situation in advance if you find faults, right? Is this revealing?" Qin Ya said angrily.

Among the crowd of onlookers, a wave of discussion was sparked again, Zhang shopkeeper stood up at the right time, and called on those regular customers of Qianlixiang to speak a word of justice.

"The lady in the house is not lying. My grandson loves their soup dumplings the most. Since the outbreak of chicken plague, they have stopped making soup dumplings with chicken sauce and pork." A middle-aged woman said, He lived in the alley inside, and came in and out from here every day, and sometimes took his grandson to Zhang Ji to buy daily necessities, and shopkeeper Zhang occasionally gave the grandson a few yuan to eat.

Under the guidance of this woman, more people stood up to prove Jin Xi's words.

The man in filial piety, who was arrogant and arrogant at first, was surrounded by public opinion and advice, with a guilty and flustered look on his face.

"I just asked the guys in my shop, and they all said that this morning, they have never received such a face-to-face customer like you." Jin Xi spoke again, staring straight at the man like a sharp sword, her tone suddenly changed Be strict.

"What's more, your accent is not from our Changqiao town. I want to ask you, who instigated you to come here to make trouble?"

Following Jin Xi's shout, Liang Yuzhong also became violent, and said angrily, "If you don't give us a reasonable explanation today, don't even think about getting out of here!" After that, he took a few steps forward and was about to take down the man in filial piety Unexpectedly, the man in filial piety clothes wanted to be on guard, turned around and pushed away the two people who were watching behind him, and slipped into the crowd like a hamster, and then disappeared in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, the woman who was kneeling with bowed head also tore off the white hat on her head, knocked through the crowd and disappeared without a trace.

"Hey, where are your mothers still here? Don't you want me anymore?" Someone in the crowd exclaimed, the filial son and daughter-in-law had long since disappeared.

Jin Xi winked at A Cai and A Wang, and the two of them understood and slipped into the crowd, chasing after the man and woman respectively.

"Girl Xi, what should we do with the old lady's corpse?" Cui Xique asked anxiously, opening the door for business, and it would be unlucky to put a corpse in front of the door!What's more, today is Jin Xi's birthday, Cui Xique and the others are planning to prepare a table of sumptuous dishes in the shop at noon, so that they can celebrate Jin Xi well!This is great!
Jin Xi frowned, and said: "I will report to the officials later, there must be someone at the gate of the yamen to verify the truth!"

The accident happened the moment Jin Xi finished speaking. The old woman who was lying upright on the door panel suddenly moved her body under the white cloth and sat up from the door panel. The crowd, including Cui Xique and Jin Xi, were shocked His face changed.Some people even yelled in horror: "Fake Corpse!"

The white cloth slipped, and an old lady with sly eyebrows jumped up from the door panel, and under the horrified gaze of the crowd, she slipped into the gap between the crowd, and disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving a door panel and a piece of white cloth on the ground.

At this moment, all the people present finally recovered from the shock and fear, and they all understood the farce, and a burst of laughter burst out from the crowd.
