Nanshanxia

"My lord, what is the meaning of this?" The second son of the Zhen family knelt on the ground and looked sideways at the several people who came up one after another. While being puzzled, he looked at the boss of the Zhen family who had fallen asleep, and once again turned to the county magistrate. Asked: "My lord, who are they?"

"Oh, you goddamn second son of the Zhen family, you don't know me yet. I was the diner who brought my children to eat buns at your house that day. You told me that day, your buns just came out of the pot, and we are the first One came to eat, and gave us two more steamed buns, how could I know that after eating your steamed stuffed buns, my sons and daughters started vomiting and diarrhea when they got home, and they are still being treated in the hospital.” The middle-aged woman said Covering his face with his sleeves, he began to wail loudly.

The second son of the Zhen family ignored the woman's cries at all, did not rush to explain, let alone admit it, he knelt up straight, his twinkling and scrutinizing eyes wandered back and forth, and he and Wang Chun entered Zhu's house to steal things. , you can fine some money, and if you apologize and make a guarantee, you can go home smoothly, but if the buns at home are eaten, it will be difficult. This is not only a problem of money, but more of a problem with his own store. After thinking for a while, he argued, "My lord, don't listen to that woman's nonsense, she brought her children to eat steamed stuffed buns that day, and the two children's complexions were not good. I'm afraid they have been sick before, and they will harm my family when their illnesses get worse. "

"You're talking nonsense. My son and daughter were all caught with the wind and cold before, and they didn't vomit at all. They just ate your buns." The middle-aged woman glared at the second son of the Zhen family with her eyes red and swollen from crying. Immediately, tears came down, and she said with tears: "I am a country woman, and I finally saved some money on the back of the man at home. The children caught the cold and said they would go to the town to eat buns. I see the children are sick and feel sorry for them. , I got up early and took them to the town. I wanted to take the child to eat bean curd, but the child insisted on eating buns that day, so we went to Zhen’s bun shop. I swear on my life, even if my family No matter how poor you are, I can’t deliberately take the life of your child to blackmail you, so I’m not a mother, I’m a beast!”

At first, Zhu Yan just thought it was annoying for this woman to cry and cry, but when he heard the words behind this woman, his heart was suddenly pulled. Such a woman is enough to be called a mother, and she is A competent and strong mother, he stopped listening to the excitement, he stood up and said to the county magistrate who was sitting in front of him: "My lord, please allow Caomin to say something boldly, this elder sister's two children are entering It’s not easy to evade if you got sick before the steamed stuffed bun shop, so I want to ask the old man and young brother next to you, did your family get sick before eating Zhen’s steamed stuffed buns?”

Seeing that someone finally asked him, the old man immediately pointed to the second son of the Zhen family and filed a complaint, "Master Qingtian! Before my old lady ate his buns, her bones were only strong. She was greedy for petty gain and ate Zhen Only the steamed stuffed buns at home would have vomiting and diarrhea, and now they lie at home and pass out, please enlighten me!"

After the old man finished speaking, the young brother immediately took the lead and continued: "Master Qingtian, my husband is also like this because he ate his buns. He was doing hard work at the dock before, and his bones are very good. Now I'm lying in the hospital, so skinny that I almost have only a handful of bones left!"

Zhu Yan turned his head and glanced at the second son of the Zhen family who had no idea how to defend himself, then turned his head and continued to say to the county magistrate: "My lord, what the elder sister said earlier, we only convict the Zhen family bun shop from one angle, which is somewhat inconsistent. Common sense, but we look at this issue from multiple angles, and the answer to the question is always the same, this is really a problem with their bun shop."

"Zhu Yan, our old Zhen family has a grudge against you, you are framing your colleagues, do you know that!" The second son of the Zhen family changed the subject and began to make things difficult for Zhu Yan.

Compared with the fury of the second son of the Zhen family, Zhu Yan was calm and indifferent. He smiled at the second son of the Zhen family, and said again: "I remember that you were the one who framed your colleagues? You don't hesitate to let your friends betray your appearance to seduce my family. Cousin, and even coveted my family’s secret recipe, have you forgotten all about it? And what I’m saying now is the truth, so are all the harmful remarks framed for you? In other words, the adults are also framed for you?”

I have to say that Zhu Yan kicked the ball well, choking the second child of Zhen's family who was kneeling on the ground until his old face turned red. He tremblingly looked at the county magistrate who was already full of displeasure, and kowtowed, "My lord, Caomin!" I am wronged, my lord has no such intentions, it is Zhu Yan who made peace there."

The county magistrate glanced at the second son of the Zhen family, and said with a sneer, "What Zhu Yan said is the truth, and the evidence of the crime is in front of him, and you are still making excuses and throwing a pot of shit on his head, you are the one who is messed with! People will give me [-] boards!"

"My lord, please forgive me!" The second son of the Zhen family has just witnessed the whole process of his brother being spanked, and he already knows the feeling of it just by looking at it. He doesn't want to be spanked. , when the yamen guards guarded him, he immediately shouted: "My lord, my lord, I will recruit, I will recruit all!"

The county magistrate waved his hand after hearing this, signaled the yamen servant to stop, and went straight to the topic: "What are you recruiting? Say it!"

The second son of Zhen's family glanced at the yamen servant who was still standing beside him, and the flesh on his face trembled. He opened and closed his mouth several times, and finally, after hearing the sound of a gavel knocking on the table, The words were like pouring beans out, "Since the old Zhu's Dou Shifang came into being in the town, the business of my steamed stuffed bun shop has been getting worse and worse. The steamed stuffed buns we make every day are thrown away if no one buys them. It’s a loss-making business. My brother and I discussed to save the leftover buns from the previous day to sell the next day. This cycle can save a lot of money. Who knows that it’s such a cold day today, but you can still eat bad people. Ah, I didn't mean it, my lord, please forgive us for our first offence!"

"Forgive you? Your steamed stuffed bun shop has already harmed so many people, and you still beg me to forgive you?" The county magistrate sneered, picked up the gavel next to his hand, knocked on the table, and pointed at the people present. Everyone said: "Brothers of the Zhen family plan to be the first to go together, and the last to sell overnight food. Now the trial results are as follows. All property of the brothers of the Zhen family will be confiscated to compensate the injured affected by this incident and the right to open a shop. From now on, as long as they are in this town, the brothers of the Zhen family are not allowed to open a store, and the second son of the Zhen family will despise the law of the king, pull him out to beat him fifty times, and put him in a black prison for five months."

The second son of the Zhen family realized that he was still going to be punished, and he was twenty more than before, so he was immediately stunned. Didn't he agree to plead guilty and reduce his sentence, why did he increase his sentence?When he was dragged away by the yamen servants, he did not forget to defend himself, "My lord is wronged, my lord."

After the second son of the Zhen family successfully lifted the board, Zhu Yan looked at Wang Chun who had been silent beside him, and said to the county magistrate, "My lord, I don't know how to solve the matter between me and Wang Chun?"

After being reminded by Zhu Yan, the county magistrate just remembered that there was Wang Chun kneeling here, and he said to Wang Chun, "Wang Chun, you and the second son of the Zhen family stole the secret recipe of the old Zhu family and wounded people with a knife. Can you be found guilty?"

After Wang Chun witnessed the tragic experience of the second son of the Zhen family, he did not stand by him anymore, and directly confessed the crime together without any rebuttal. Inflammation of medical expenses, and a month in prison.

After the matter was satisfactorily resolved, Zhu Yan was about to leave the courtroom and look for Yuan Xiao who was anxiously waiting for him outside the courtroom, but before he could take a step, he was held back by the middle-aged woman before him. Asked: "Is there anything else, big sister?"

"No, it's okay, I just want to thank you. If you hadn't spoken for me, a country woman, I'm afraid I wouldn't even have the chance to speak up for my children." The middle-aged woman felt like she was tugging at her robe It was really wrong, and then she let go of her hand and wiped away the tears that were about to burst into her eyes with her sleeves. She clasped her hands together and bowed to Zhu Yan, her mouth choked up, "I don't have money to thank you, and I don't know what to do for you." What, I can only thank you like this, don't dislike me, thank you very much."

During the time traveled, Zhu Yan met all kinds of people, but it was the first time he saw a woman who was as simple as she is now and only went to court for the sake of her children. Just now, Zhu Yan saw that Yuan Xiao and his family were looking at him all the time, stopping the middle-aged woman who was still going to salute, he smiled softly, "Sister, I just said something casually, you don't have to do this, you go back quickly , the children should be waiting for you, when the children are well, you can bring them to eat my bean curd, our bean dregs cakes are no worse than steamed buns."

"Hey, hey, you are such a good person, thank you!" The middle-aged woman smiled and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her hands, bowed to Zhu Yan again, and then lifted her legs to leave.

Finally got the clean Zhu Yan, and walked towards Yuan Xiao outside the courtroom, but Yuan Xiao didn't seem to see him, turned around to chase the middle-aged woman who had just left, Zhu Yan couldn't figure it out, so he walked quickly He followed, and when he chased to a corner, he heard his own Yuan Xiao shout.

"That big sister, just wait a moment." The middle-aged woman stopped and looked back at Yuan Xiao, "What do you want me to do, little brother?"

Yuan Xiao quickly walked up to the middle-aged woman, and took out a dime of silver from his purse, "Sister, when your child is cured and has no diarrhea, you can use this silver to buy them a piece of money." Meat and a few catties of white flour, you make buns for them to eat, and when children are hungry, they will dream of eating that stuff in their dreams."

"Well, how can this be done? I can't take it. No one's money comes from the wind. I don't want it. Brother, take it home and buy something for the family. It's better than giving it to a stranger like me." The young woman will leave after finishing speaking.

Yuan Xiao immediately chased after her, stuffed the money into the middle-aged woman's hand, and said firmly, "You just keep it, and it's right that I did a good deed."

When the middle-aged woman was about to say something, Yuan Xiao had already run away. At the same time, Zhu Yan also started trotting to chase after Yuan Xiao. At the time of Zhu Yan, he breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward and blamed: "Why didn't you call me, and you followed me secretly."

Zhu Yan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and joked with a smile: "I accidentally saw my husband doing a good deed just now, and I was afraid that he would be afraid if I made a noise."

"Ah Yan..." Yuan Xiao opened his mouth halfway and wanted to say something, but his throat was choked and he couldn't say anything. He approached Zhu Yan and held Zhu Yan's other uninjured hand , said anxiously: "Ah Yan, this is the first time I have done this, and I will never do it again. Don't despise me as a prodigal, just this time."

Zhu Yan stared at Yuan Xiao's anxious little face, his heart was soft, and he spoke very gently, "You are not a prodigal, you are kind. I am very happy to see you doing good deeds, which makes me feel My husband has grown up."

"Hey, I don't want to keep doing good deeds in the future. I just think that the eldest sister and the child are very pitiful, so I will do it. I still don't care about others." Yuan Xiao smiled and took Zhu Yan's hand, and together Walk towards the county government office.

When Zhu Yan and Yuan Xiao arrived at the county government office, Mrs. Zhu and Boss Zhu were still talking with other ordinary people at the gate of the county government office. If they listened carefully, they were promoting their own bean food shop.

The old lady Zhu, who was still spitting, promised the old man and old lady present when she saw her grandson: "If you want to eat in the future, just come to our old Zhu's bean food shop. We don't sell them overnight. Stuff, and it is guaranteed to be fresh, you went to mention my name, old sister, and give a piece of bean dregs cake for free, well, I will stop here today, don’t forget to come tomorrow!"

Zhu Yan smiled and looked at the old lady Zhu who looked like a big sister, and after blinking with Yuan Xiao, he laughed and joked: "Grandma, you are more and more good at doing business now."

"Hey, you bastard, why are you still making fun of your grandma? I learned from you." Seeing everyone smiling warmly, the old lady also laughed, "Let's go!" , let's go home!"

**

Since Zhu Yan injured his hand, he couldn't do a lot of work at home, so he could only stand at the door to greet guests or research new products. On this day, with the help of Yuan Xiao, he changed his medicine and researched new products at his counter At the other end, Qi Lianhai led Lu Zhaofu into the shop.

During these days when Zhu Yan was recovering from his injuries, Qi Lianhai and Lu Zhaofu came to Dou Shi Fang more and more. They would always take the initiative to help with work or greet guests, which helped Zhu Yan a lot.

"Ah Yan, this is the old ginseng brought to you by Zhaofu." Qi Lianhai helped Lu Zhaofu shake off the snow on his body, and handed a red box to Zhu Yan. Seeing that Zhu Yan would not accept it, he frowned and urged: "Take it quickly, this is the intention of Zhaofu."

"Yeah, brother Zhu, just take it. I have a lot of these herbs at home. It's not a big deal to get you a copy. Only when you are well, my good brother Yuan Xiao can be happy." Lu Zhaofu said without regard for wishing In response to Yan's retort, he immediately went to the door to look for Yuan Xiao.

Zhu Yan is not a mother-in-law either, he thought for a while and called his grandma to put the old ginseng away, then he talked to Qi Lianhai again, during the conversation, Qi Lianhai said a lot about the brothers of the Zhen family, From this, Zhu Yan learned that Zhen's steamed stuffed bun shop had been closed down by the government, and the two brothers would not be able to open the shop in the future. In addition, Zhu Yan also knew that Wang Chun would be officially released from prison tomorrow because someone paid to redeem him.

When he heard the news, Yuan Xiao, who was pinching bean sprouts with Lu Zhaofu, had eyes flickering, and a flirtatious smile bloomed on his face.

"Yuan Xiao, what are you laughing at?" Lu Zhaofu put down the bean sprouts in his hand, and looked at Yuan Xiao foolishly.

Yuan Xiaoshui looked at Zhu Yan's place with big eyes, and seeing that her husband didn't notice him, she just winked at Lu Zhaofu and said with a smile: "Anyone who hurts me, Ah Yan, don't think about it!"
