At the beginning of the year of famine, the lucky girl of the farm family used cheats to support the

Soon, Qingquan lowered the price to fourteen cents, and asked people to spread the news here: "Fourteen cents, cheaper than Xueqingquan, hurry up."

This time, there were almost no guests who followed them. For those who could afford the sugar water, a penny was not so important. The most important thing was that they had tasted it yesterday, and the taste there was really ordinary. It was just a pot of porridge with sugar added, and it didn't have the sweetness here.

Seeing that they could not win the fight this time, one of the guests suddenly shouted and threw the bowl, saying, "What did you serve me? It's bitter, astringent and unpalatable. Where's the shopkeeper? Come out!"

Li Darong ran out and said with an apologetic smile: "Sir, what's wrong? Is it not to your liking? We can give you another portion."

Fubao took a quick look and thought that this man should be the servant of the fat boss, and he was probably going to cause trouble again.

The man changed his clothes and looked like he was from a caravan, but there was no one around him traveling with him, and he would be exposed if anyone paid the slightest attention.

He insisted, "You must have added something in it, it smells bad!"

Li Darong said: "No, we make the sweet soup fresh on the same day, and the ingredients are prepared a day in advance, so there won't be any mistakes."

The man angrily picked up the half-broken bowl on the ground and splashed the remaining sugar water in it onto Li Darong's face: "No mistake? Then taste it yourself!"

The guests around exclaimed and then put down the spoons in their hands.

Fubao walked down quickly and handed the handkerchief to Li Darong: "Uncle, wipe it."

Li Darong was not angry at all. He wiped his face and went back to the counter to continue to count. Fubao had told him that someone would come to cause trouble, so he should be prepared. No matter what, the shop must not be in chaos.

Seeing that the other party would not be fooled no matter how much he provoked him, the man became more aggressive and reached out to overturn the table. Fu Bao said calmly: "Five hundred coins for breaking the bowl, and two taels for overturning the table. If the guests are scared away, you will have the whole place to yourself today."

Chongming and Zhao Xiuer came over at the right time and held down the tables and chairs steadily.

The man's eyes were red: "Little girl, you sold the food with drugs, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning!"

Fu Bao raised his head and confronted him: "What did you put down? The things in our shop are absolutely clean, and we have a clear conscience."

The man sneered: "I feel a stomachache now. The store must have sold us something spoiled."

Fu Bao: "What a coincidence. My mother is not feeling well today, so I just asked the doctor from across the street to come over and see her. He hasn't left yet, so I'll treat you."

The man's eyes showed a trace of panic, but he immediately calmed down and let the doctor take his pulse.

All the guests gathered around curiously. After the doctor confirmed again and again, he said, "You are in good health. There is nothing wrong with you."

Man: "Humph - you must have bribed him, your bowl is not clean!"

The doctor's character was questioned, and his beard trembled with anger: "You are talking nonsense!"

This old doctor has been practicing medicine in Yuzhou for more than 40 years. It is no exaggeration to say that he is highly respected. Many of the guests know him and have asked him to treat their illnesses. They all said in unison, "Don't be angry, sir. Don't argue with him."

Fu Bao tilted his head and asked curiously, "Why are you so sure there's something wrong with our sugar water? Did you really drink it?"

The man tilted his head back and said matter-of-factly, "I must have been drinking to say that."

From beginning to end, the man kept insisting, attracting everyone's attention, while his own eyes kept glancing towards the kitchen.

Fu Bao understood: "Who are you waiting for?"

The man stiffened. “I… of course I’m waiting for the government to come and arrest you, you black-hearted brat.”

Fu Bao smiled faintly: "That's not necessarily the case. Maybe they are here to arrest you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people came in from outside the door and went straight to the kitchen, and caught a man who was trying to secretly put drugs into the well.

The man watched them escort the man out, then he panicked: "The problem is their store, what does it have to do with him."

Before he could finish his words, he was also arrested: "The shop owner reported the case to the police. The two of you stole something. There are witnesses and evidence. If you have anything to say, go to the jail and speak."

Fubao bowed slightly to them and then continued to greet the guests.

Everyone just thought it was a farce and continued eating and drinking.

After walking around to the back kitchen, Li Darong asked in confusion, "What did he steal? What's so good about stealing these vegetables?"

Fu Bao: "I didn't steal anything. Their crime is poisoning."

Several people's expressions changed at the same time: "Poisoning?!"

Fu Bao nodded: "But if we say it in front of so many people, our shop's business will probably be gone. That's why I asked them to change the name."

Li Shuangrong sent the constable away and returned to the store: "Not all the people in the government office are greedy and law-breaking people."

Fu Bao nodded: "Not only will I sue them for poisoning, I will also sue them for false accusation and provoking disturbances. Those who took my aunt away all accepted bribes... No one can escape. We will accept the punishment that should be imposed, and I will return all the punishment that should not be imposed."

Zhao Xiuer rubbed her little head and said lovingly, "How old are you? You have to think so much about your family. Mother just hopes that you grow up happily."

Fubao rubbed her arm and smiled, "I am happy every day now." In the past, when she was alone, even living was just a task given to her by her grandmother. Now it is different. She has a goal, someone to protect, and a family to rely on.

The high-profile behavior of the few detectives who accepted bribes had long been targeted, but they themselves did not realize it. When Fubao went to the government jail to visit his mother, he found that some people here blatantly asked for "filial piety money" and "tea money", while others were unmoved by the money handed to them, and even scolded them for not following the rules.

So, before the incident happened, the family kept a close eye on the kitchen every day, and indeed found someone hiding in the dark, ready to make a move.

Li Shuangrong immediately followed Fubao's instructions and found the constable who had criticized them for breaking the rules. It turned out that this man enforced the law impartially.

The two men were thrown into prison. The boss of Qingquan spent a lot of money but was unable to get them out. Instead, the matter was brought to the attention of the prefect who was on an inspection tour.

The prefect of Yuzhou was famous for his integrity. When he learned about this incident, he was furious. He beat all the constables who accepted bribes with fifty lashes and drove them out of the government office.

When Fubao took his aunt back, he pretended to be innocent and asked them, "Where should we pay for the tea this time?"

The yamen runners were all worried about their safety and vomited out what they had eaten. The twenty taels of silver they had spent were all returned.

This group of people did not think it was their fault at all, but blamed the boss of Qingquan for being too blatant, which led to their discovery, so they went to make trouble for several days in a row. The boss did not expect such a big thing to happen, and closed the shop after a few days.
