Chapter 124
I only heard people eating melons say: "Jia Baifu is too vicious, how can you burn down other people's shops just to make money?"

"Yeah, burning people's shops and cutting off people's money is tantamount to killing their parents!"

"You Fulai is too miserable. It burned so badly that even the roof disappeared..."

Jun Runing recognized the crying woman as Huang Fangfang, the boss behind Fulai.

Tsk, I thought Jiang Wei had already settled this matter, but I didn't expect it to be delayed until now.

Huang Fangfang's personality is the same as her appearance, and she has an insatiable expression on her face.

It's normal for her shop to be shoddy and short-lived. Anyway, she uses all kinds of tricks to deceive consumers.

In order to have more space for the vines to come out to set up shelves, not only the water tanks for fire prevention were removed, but also half of the road was occupied to set up stalls.

Now that Youfulai's fire protection is not in place, and the shop is ruined, this old hag blames Jia Baifu's head, Jun Runing can't bear this tone!

Jun Runing stepped over and stood in front of Huang Fangfang, staring at her condescendingly.

"Mrs. Huang, you said that Jiabaifu set fire to your store, but you saw it with your own eyes?"

The light was suddenly blocked, Huang Fangfang was stunned, and slowly raised her head, seeing a woman wearing a veil, she wiped away her tears and asked doubtfully, "Who are you?"

The corners of Jun Runing's lips raised slightly: "You don't care who I am, just answer the question I just asked."

Huang Fangfang snorted coldly: "Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, my buddy saw that the fire was put out by the people of Carbamford!"

Jun Runing smiled, but didn't answer the conversation right away. He glanced at the people who were eating melons, and said loudly:

"Guys, if you were living a very happy life, and your neighbor who was only one wall away from you was living a poor life, you would get up in the middle of the night, set fire to the neighbor's house, and then kindly help put the fire down. Will it be destroyed?"

Hearing her question, someone subconsciously replied: "Of course not, who is full!"

"Neither will I. If the neighbor's house catches fire, it will burn to my own house too!"

"Who is so boring, doing this kind of thing that harms others and does not benefit oneself..."

Jun Runing laughed and said: "That's right, there is only a wall between Jiabaifu and Youfulai, and Jiabaifu's business is booming, but Youfulai is declining day by day. If Jiabaifu burns Youfulai in the middle of the night, what good will it do them?" ?”

"That's right, if Jia Baifu burns Fulai, what's the benefit?"

"There's really no benefit at all!"

Seeing that the direction of public opinion has changed, Huang Fangfang quickly got up and shouted in her sharp voice:
"Of course there are benefits. As long as Youfulai disappears, their family Baifu can dominate the entire capital, and you don't know that the day before Youfulai disappeared, Jiabaifu suddenly added a few big water Tank, so that fire is clearly what they have planned for a long time!"

Jun Runing smiled coldly, and retorted logically:

"Since the opening of Jiabaifu, we have always prepared five water tanks filled with water. Now that the weather is dry in autumn, we have added a few more for fire prevention.

You are blessed to have no foresight, fail to prevent problems before they happen, but blame others for being too well prepared. What is the difference between failing the imperial examination and not reflecting on yourself, but blaming the number one in the exam! "

Hearing what she said, the melon eaters felt that it made sense again.

"It seems to be true. If I don't do well, how can I blame others for doing so well?"

"If you put it that way, You Fulai's words are a bit preposterous!"

Huang Fangfang said anxiously: "There is no such thing as a coincidence in the world. After they prepared a few large water tanks, we were lucky enough to leave the water immediately. This is definitely not a coincidence!"

Jun Runing didn't bother to argue anymore, so she slightly raised the volume.

"I just want to ask all of you here, before the opening of Momofufu, when you went shopping in Youfulai, did you ever encounter things that were short of money and shoddy?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent for a moment.

Someone soon echoed: "Yes, I bought a bag of rice at her house, and I weighed it myself when I went back home. It's missing a full two taels!"

"Me too. Once I bought ten catties of mung beans at her house, and when I went back, I found that there was sand in the mung beans. When I went back to find them, they still refused to accept it!"

"You have been deceived. Once I just came back from the ground, Youfu came to see me dirty, kicked me out, and called me a beggar!"

Seeing that more and more people were talking about Youfulai, Huang Fangfang became anxious and wanted to explain something, but what these people said was all the truth.

Afraid of provoking public anger, she dared not discuss this issue directly, but stared at Jun Runing's veil and said, "Who the hell are you to openly slander my reputation of being blessed!"

Jun Runing smiled calmly: "It doesn't matter who I am, I only know that Jia Baifu store never cheats customers. It even gives discounts and gifts to customers every now and then, and at the end of every month, it will be distributed to people in need at the end of the street. Relief supplies, isn’t everyone seeing these things?”

When the words fell, someone immediately stood up to support her:

"Yes, I received a quilt from Jia Baifu. Last winter, if it weren't for this quilt, my mother would have been frozen to death!"

"I also received the medicine package from Jia Baifu, which saved my critically ill brother!"

"I also received rice from Jia Baifu!"

"I have also received..."

More and more people in the crowd stood up, and people's rationality gradually became clear.

"The boss of Jiabaifu is so kind, how could he commit murder and arson?"

"That's right, the boss of Jiabaifu is a kind person. It is impossible for him to set fire to other people's houses. There must be something strange in it!"

Huang Fangfang put her hands on her hips and roared at the group of people who were trying to see the wind.

"There's nothing strange about it. If Jia Baifu is innocent, why do you want to bribe the officials so that I won't be allowed to report to the officials!"

Jun Runing laughed and said: "Mrs. Huang, you said that Jia Baifu bribed the officials and refused to let you report to the officials. Do you have evidence?"

"Does this still need evidence? I reported the case several times back and forth. At first, County Magistrate Liu promised to reverse the case for me, but suddenly one day he changed his mind and kicked me out!"

The more Huang Fangfang spoke, the angrier she became, and with a little grievance, tears rushed to her eyes.

"Now, as soon as I arrive at the Yamen, they drive me away. If Jia Baifu didn't bribe County Magistrate Liu, they would suddenly change their face?"

After listening to her words, Jun Runing turned to look at the melon-eating crowd.

"Everyone has heard that Mrs. Huang has absolutely no evidence to prove that Jiabaifu bribed County Magistrate Liu. If everyone can convict others without evidence, do we still need Wang Fa in Dongxia?"

When everyone heard the words, they all nodded in agreement.

Someone said to Huang Fangfang: "Mrs. Huang, this is your fault. How can you falsely accuse others of offering bribes without evidence?"

"I think the fire in Youfulai is their own problem, no wonder Jia Baifu!"

"I also think that Jia Baifu will not do such a thing..."
