Queen of Nongmen: Hexagrams determine the universe

Chapter 97 The Three Thousand Miles of Exile

"My lord, I have other evidence!" Young Master Su said again.

"Oh? What evidence is there?" the county magistrate asked.

Young Master Su looked at Ye Jiwu: "You said that the burden is yours, then, do you know what kinds of spices are contained in the sachet inside the burden?"

"I don't know. Because this sachet was given to me by a girl who adores me, if I open it to see what spices are in the sachet, wouldn't that be a disappointment to that girl?" Ye Jiwu said nervously .

The county magistrate nodded.

"But I know what's in the sachet!" Young Master Su said, "It contains mint, musk, pepper..."

The county magistrate untied the string that was holding the sachet, poured out the spices inside, and found that it was exactly as Su Ruixue said.

In the teahouse, the second daughter-in-law poured herself a cup of tea, drank it happily, and laughed, "I'll see how he denies it now!"

"Repudiation still has to be denied, otherwise, is he still the muddy and twisted Ye Jiwu?" Ye Qiongdan raised his eyebrows.

Ye Qiongxiang pursed her lips, also waiting for the final verdict.

In the courtroom, Ye Jiwu pleaded not guilty!
"Even if Su Ruixue can tell what spices are in the sachet, it doesn't prove anything. Maybe he has a very keen sense of smell and has already smelled the spices in the sachet?" Ye Jiwu said loudly. , "My lord! This is a false accusation that he has planned for a long time! Please learn from me and clear up the grievances of the grassroots! Otherwise, the grassroots will be smashed to death in this court to prove their innocence!"

When the county magistrate heard this, he hesitated again.

Desire to die?

He is also a scholar, I'm afraid there is something inside this matter?

"My lord, I still have evidence," Young Master Su said unhurriedly, "My lord, please look at the inner side of this longevity lock. Is there the word 'Su Ruixue' written on it?"

The magistrate picked up the longevity lock and observed it carefully. Soon after, he found Su Ruixue's name inside the longevity lock.

Now, Ye Jiwu had no way to deny it.

"Crack!" The magistrate patted the gavel again.

"Ye Jiwu, what else can you say?" the magistrate asked sharply.

"My lord, the grassroots are wronged! I understand! This is a trap designed by Su Ruixue, he wants to harm me! He wants me to be arrested!" Ye Jiwu turned around and punched Young Master Su , "Say! Why are you trying to kill me? Why!"

A servant behind Young Master Su blocked a punch for him, and several other servants rushed forward, trying to restrain Ye Jiwu.

Ye Jiwu twisted like a bull. Those servants tried their best, but they couldn't restrain him. Instead, he beat him a few times.

The yamen servants on both sides couldn't see it anymore, and they also stepped forward to help.

Ye Jiwu's two fists were no match for four hands, and he was soon twisted.

But Ye Jiwu was still not reconciled, he raised his head and bit Young Master Su, making him sit on the ground suddenly in fright.

Su Xiaogong took a breath with lingering fear, and looked at the opposite teahouse from a distance, with a sad look in his eyes—Miss Ye, didn't you say this is so dangerous?
Ye Qiongdan also apologized to Young Master Su and the injured servants.

In the courtroom, the face of the magistrate became even darker.

At this time, he had no affection for Ye Jiwu at all, and felt that his existence was an insult to the word "scholar".

He flipped through the law in his hand, and read unceremoniously: "According to the laws of the Great Dragon Dynasty, those who pick up relics and take them for themselves, if the money exceeds fifty guan, they will be imprisoned for three years, and if the money exceeds [-] guan, they will be exiled." Three thousand miles. Come here, temporarily take Ye Jiwu into custody, and three days later, he will be exiled to the mine in Bingzhou in the northwest! Get out!"

"Yes!" The yamen servant nodded and escorted Ye Jiwu out of the courtroom.

"Thank you sir for making the decision!" Su Ruixue quickly kowtowed to the magistrate, and then impatiently led the people he brought out of the courtroom.

Su Ruixue motioned for the others to leave first, while she herself entered the teahouse, sat down at Ye Qiongdan's table, and said as if asking for credit, "How is it? Miss Ye, did you complete the task well?"

"That's right," Ye Qiongdan took out ten taels of silver from the purse, "I'm just sorry that your servant was injured, this is the silver for them, please accept it for me."

"Ten taels of silver? Isn't that too much?" Su Ruixue took the silver ingot she handed over and tossed it in her hand. You are still a down-and-out mountain girl, and you came out to make money at a young age. Unexpectedly, you actually earned a family business for yourself in such a short period of time, it is more legendary than the stories in the storybook!"

"Thank you!" Ye Qiongdan smiled and poured Su Ruixue a cup of tea.

The second daughter-in-law hurriedly asked: "Where does this son live? How is his family? Does he have a wife?"

Su Ruixue swallowed a sip of tea, and took a look at the second wife's daughter-in-law: "No! I don't even like those vulgar fans!"

"Oh? Then what kind of girl do you want to find?" When the second daughter-in-law saw that he was setting Ye Jiwu up, she was able to take out hundreds of taels of silver to make props. She thought that he must be a rich man and wanted him to do it on purpose. own son-in-law.

"I don't want to get married," Su Ruixue shrugged, "I don't want to get married for the rest of my life! I want to be a free person, I don't want to be controlled by my wife, and I don't want to accept a bunch of annoying concubines! I want Go out and play every day!"

"How can we carry on the family line if we don't get married?" the second wife asked again.

"Why do you want to carry on the family? Children are so annoying!" Su Ruixue shook her head vigorously.

The daughter-in-law of the second room was disappointed. This young man looks handsome and has a good family background, but unfortunately he is a playboy who is ignorant and greedy for pleasure. She can't marry her darling daughter to such a person. His attitude towards him immediately cooled down.

Su Ruixue was unaware of the sudden change in the second wife's attitude, but instead looked at Ye Qiongdan with great interest: "Miss Ye, I've already taken care of things for you, should you come to dinner with me?"

"Yes, but I have to bring my elder brother." Ye Qiongdan said without thinking.

"Okay! I'll invite you to my family's restaurant for a big meal," he said, looking at his second wife and Ye Qiongxiang again, "Ma'am, you can go too!"

The daughter-in-law of the second room loves petty gains the most. Hearing this, how can there be any reason to disagree?
The group returned to Qili Town, and after Ye Qiongdan entered the shop, he started to get busy again.

After the shop sold out the evening meals, Su Ruixue sent servants and invited them to Quan Fu Lou in the town.

Quanfulu Building is the property of the Su family. In the past, Quanfulu Building could not compete with Jude Building of the Zhao family. Later, it could not compete with Bazhen Building, which was opened by Wu's Chamber of Commerce in Qili Town two months ago. Now, Quanfulu Building His business is in decline, and the shopkeeper sighs every day.

When a group of people arrived at Quanfulou, it was already the time when the lights were on, but the business of Quanfulou was not booming, and the tables in the lobby were only barely occupied by about half of the guests.

The servant took them to a private room on the second floor. Seeing them coming, Su Ruixue immediately ordered Xiao Er to serve the food.

"Why is the business of your restaurant so poor?" The second wife poured herself a cup of tea and asked harshly.

"I remember when I was a child, the business of our restaurant was quite good! Later, the Zhao family also opened a restaurant, and our restaurant was robbed of a lot of customers. Later, the Wu's Chamber of Commerce also opened a restaurant in the town. , what do you want us to do with Quan Fu Lou?" Su Ruixue shrugged helplessly, "Although the dishes made by the restaurants of the Zhao family and Wu's Chamber of Commerce are indeed better, I firmly support my own food!"

"Well said!" Ye Qiongdan nodded, "Master Su, hasn't your father ever thought about changing the cook?"

"Why didn't you think about it?" Su Ruixue sighed, "The head chef of Zhao's restaurant was originally the head chef of my Quan Fu Lou, but was poached later, leaving only his apprentice in Quan Fu Lou. It's a pity that the apprentice is not good at learning, and his cooking is far inferior to that of the master! Later, my father began to spend a lot of money to recruit chefs, but unfortunately, he recruited all over Qinghe County, but he couldn't find a chef with better cooking skills!"

"The skills are not as good as people, so the business should be poor." The second daughter-in-law picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of cucumber, tasted it, and said disgustedly, "I can't even shoot cucumbers. Can the business be good? Last time I was in The cucumbers eaten at Bazhen Building in Qinghe County are so crispy!"

Su Ruixue touched her nose in embarrassment, and Ye Qiongdan said quickly: "My second aunt speaks like that, I'm really sorry."

"It's okay." Su Ruixue smiled.

Just as he was talking, Xiaoer pushed the door open and brought Quanfulou's signature dishes to the table one by one. The colors on the table suddenly became richer, and the tempting aroma of the food also dispelled the coldness of the night.

Everyone was tired all day and was hungry at this time.

Even the daughter-in-law of the second room, who has been thinking about it, is a little bit voracious when she eats.

Ye Qiongdan carefully tasted all the dishes on the table, rinsed his mouth with tea, and said: "Mr. Su, I have the ability to make your restaurant popular. Would you like to cooperate with me?"

"Cooperation?" Su Ruixue blinked blankly, "I don't have that right. Wait, I'll ask my father!"

Su Ruixue opened the door of the private room, shouted loudly in the corridor: "Father—"

The second daughter-in-law put down the dishes and sighed again.

This kid is handsome and rich, so why is he like a heartless fool who doesn't care about worldly etiquette?

Can she rest assured that Xiang girl will marry this child?
What a sin!
After a while, a middle-aged man with a pot belly walked out of a private room. The man stared at Su Ruixue with hatred, and said with disgust: "Don't you know it's rude to yell here? Dad usually teaches you You have forgotten the etiquette in the dog's stomach? Do you know how embarrassing it is when Dad comes out?"

"Father! You act like no one in Qili Town knows what kind of virtue your son is!" Su Ruixue reached out to pull Master Su's hand, "Father, I'll show you a girl!"

"What girl are you seeing? It's getting more and more unruly!"

"Father, she is a good girl!"

"A good girl can go to the restaurant with you casually for dinner? Could it be that you are thinking about our family property?" Master Su snorted coldly.

"It's Miss Ye Qiongdan, the girl who made "Moonlight Night on the Spring River"!" Su Ruixue said loudly.

"What did you say? The talented girl Ye is here? Why didn't you say it earlier? Son, you should spend more time with such a girl. After a long time, you will definitely fall in love with reading!" Master Su said impatiently , "Let's go, daddy has to treat her well!"
