Chapter 275: Punishing the Fight, and Continue to Investigate the Tea Matter
"Ms. Bai Meng, Third Master Yue, I will make a final decision on the tea matter later. There is no need for you two to argue anymore."
"Sir, this man is beating people, you can't just sit there and do nothing." Yue Laosan said, revealing his red and swollen face.
"Sir, they went too far and I couldn't help but fight back, and I was beaten." The eldest brother of the Meng family also raised his head, with swelling around his eyes. "Besides, they also smashed my shop. Please take charge of this, sir!" he continued.
"Sir, if he hadn't hit us first, why would we have attacked? We were resisting legitimately."
“Yes, we are resisting in a justifiable manner.”
Yue Laosan and his companions started shouting.
Li Xingjian was feeling overwhelmed as this confusing account was really hard to settle.
"Silence!" He slammed the gavel again.
"Meng Dabao, Yue Laosan, you fought in the street and disrupted the order of the market. You shall each be beaten with 20 sticks and thrown into jail."
"Sir, this is unfair! I am the victim, why should I be beaten and thrown into jail?"
"Sir, it was clearly Yue Lao San who framed me!"
Li Xingjian was very impatient. He waved his hand and signaled the bailiff to carry out the order.
Soon, there were sounds of ghosts howling in the yard.
The proprietress, Xiumei and Amu were trembling. Although they were afraid, they still looked outside and prayed silently that the bailiffs would not be too harsh.
"Captain Ling, take a few people with you and find out the truth about the tea leaves as soon as possible."
"Yes!"
……
After the proprietress finished telling the story, she couldn't stop her tears from flowing.
"Sister-in-law, although Lord Li punished him with a stick, Captain Ling is still investigating the matter of moldy tea leaves. Don't worry, the truth will be revealed."
"Yes. It's my poor elder brother..." The proprietress glanced at Meng Xiumei, seeming to be ashamed.
Alas! Although the eldest brother of the Meng family loves money, he still stands together to protect his family. Although he is impulsive, it is understandable.
At this time, Ling Junsheng came in with several yamen runners.
Several people sitting at the stone table stood up immediately, and the proprietress motioned for Meng Xiumei to come in.
"Madam boss, I need your cooperation in investigating the tea matter." Ling Junsheng bowed, then turned to Lin Mingxuan and nodded in greeting.
"Doctor Lin and Doctor Ding are here too."
"Captain Ling." The three returned the greeting.
"Just tell me what you need." The proprietress wiped away her tears.
"We have found the person that Yue Lao San asked to buy tea. He is waiting in the shop in front. We need to confirm what kind of tea he bought that day and how much he bought."
"Yes, please follow me."
Everyone went to the front hall and saw a man who was timid, slightly bent over, looking around the tea shop.
"Madam boss, do you still remember it?" Ling Junsheng asked.
"Looks familiar." The proprietress nodded slightly.
"Lu Laoliu, when did you come to order the tea? How much and what kind of tea did you buy?" Ling Junsheng turned to the man.
"I bought it before the Mid-Autumn Festival, I think it was August 11th or 12th. I can't remember the exact date. I bought two cans of Wuyi rock tea and spent one tael of silver."
"It came on August 12th." Amu said with his eyes straight.
The proprietress smiled with relief and said, "Amu has a good memory. It should be August 12."
The yamen runner behind Ling Junsheng produced a cloth bag and took out two jars - these were the tea leaves that Yue Laosan had taken when he made trouble. However, because they scattered a lot of it at the door, only half a jar was left.
The proprietress came over, glanced through it briefly, and said:
"Captain Ling, although this is also rock tea, the quality is probably not very good. Because it has grown mold, the color cannot be identified. However, this is definitely not what my family sold."
"Bad tea, not for sale." Amu on the side nodded heavily, and the proprietress patted his shoulder with relief.
"Lu Laoliu, did you open the tea after buying it?" Ling Junsheng asked.
"Captain Ling, I bought it for someone, so I didn't pay attention. Whatever the boss lady gave me, I passed it on to Yue Lao San. I delivered it directly from the shop to their house without stopping in between."
"Does Yue Lao San need it so urgently?"
"Well, he said that after I got the tea, I would send it directly to his home, and he gave me some mooncakes as a thank you gift."
Ling Junsheng nodded.
"Okay, there's nothing for you to do today, go back."
"Yes." Lu Laoliu leaned over, bowed, turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute!" Ding Xirui shouted, and everyone looked at her.
"Madam, is there anything I can help you with?" Lu Laoliu turned sideways.
"Brother, I want to ask, are you specialized in helping people with purchasing business?" Ding Xirui asked.
"That's not the case." Lu Laoliu shook his head quickly. "I have a serious job. I haven't heard of anyone doing the shopping you just mentioned."
"Haha, I was just guessing, don't mind." Ding Xirui smiled shyly, and then said, "Also, I want to ask you, besides asking you to buy things at Baizhicha, did Master Yue ask you to buy rock tea from other tea shops?"
"No. I met Yue Lao San at the tavern. Our homes are not far from each other, so we just help each other out occasionally."
"Thank you, brother. Take care." Ding Xirui nodded in thanks.
"No need." Lu Laoliu bowed, turned and walked out.
The yamen runners looked at Ding Xirui with admiration in their eyes. Captain Ling smiled and said, "Doctor Ding is very thoughtful."
"I just thought of it at the last minute. I still have to rely on you to investigate the case." Ding Xirui lowered his head, feeling a little embarrassed.
Ling Junsheng turned to the proprietress and said:
"Madam, please provide a list of customers who have purchased Mid-Autumn Festival tea gifts. Please provide as many as you can think of."
"Yes."
"We still have things to do and will come to pick it up later. Bye bye first." Ling Junsheng and others bowed.
"Thank you, Captain Ling."
The shop had been almost cleaned up, and Ding Xirui and his friends said goodbye.
Ling Junsheng should start from two aspects. First, investigate the tea leaves to see if there are any problems with other tea leaves. Second, investigate Yue Lao San to see if he found an opportunity to replace the tea leaves and deliberately used moldy tea leaves to blackmail the store, or if an accident occurred when storing the tea leaves at home. The first one is easy, but the second one is difficult. Yue Lao San is in prison now. County Magistrate Li may want to stop him from preparing a follow-up plan, but this also reduces the possibility of finding clues from him.
If there is a problem with the tea, "Baizhicha" will probably not be able to continue operating; if Yue Laosan deliberately committed blackmail and designed the incident, he will inevitably go to jail. However, bad news spreads far and wide, and I wonder if the tea shop will lose some of its old customers - the proprietress said that this year, only half of the people who ordered tea gifts were from previous years.
There are so many disputes and troubles. I hope the boss lady can hold on a little longer.
