Chapter 138 Judge Yourself

Upon hearing this, Lin Xi immediately said, "Your Excellency is very observant and will definitely be able to find out the real culprit behind the counterfeiting of our Lin's bacon."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xi saw that Hang Qi's face had become as black as charcoal.

To be honest, I was quite happy to see this scene.

Hang Qi had a stern face, pretending not to hear Lin Xi's words, "Lin Xi, you said someone is counterfeiting your bacon, what evidence do you have?"

Lin Xi said, "My Lin's Bacon shop is only in Fenghe Town. All the bacon in the county is sold by Hong Sheng of Jinxiulou. But that Lin's Bacon shop has chosen a name that is very similar to my shop's name, and they say everywhere that they are the bacon shop in Fenghe Town in the county. If this isn't counterfeiting, what is it?"

Hang Qi pondered for a moment, "Lin Xi, the raw materials of bacon are not complicated. Maybe it has the same name as you."

Lin Xi found it funny in her heart. Hang Qi was willing to tell all kinds of lies to excuse himself.

"Sir, if it's just the names that are similar, then he's hinting to others that his shop is from the same company as the one in Fenghe Town. Isn't that impersonation?" Lin Xi said.

"Really? How are you going to prove it?" Hang Qi realized at this moment that Lin Xi was more difficult to deal with than he had imagined.

Lin Xi turned around and looked at the people behind him. "Everyone, let me ask you one question. If there hadn't been this lawsuit today, would any of you know that the Lin's Bacon in the county town and the Lin's in Fenghe Town are not the same company?"

Everyone present looked at each other in bewilderment. It was true. They really thought that the two were one family.

At this moment, someone suddenly realized, "No wonder my relatives kept telling me that Lin Ji's bacon is delicious. I ate it once and didn't feel anything. It didn't taste good at all. Now it seems that I bought a fake product!"

After being reminded of this, everyone remembered the bacon they had bought.

The discussions in the crowd became louder and louder, and everyone finally understood where the polarized opinions about bacon came from. It must be that some people bought fakes.

"Sir, facts speak louder than words." Lin Xi said leisurely.

Over there, the man in white listened to everyone's discussion and suddenly understood.

"Sir, I bought a full 10,000 kilograms of bacon from the so-called Lin's Bacon. The other party assured me that this batch of bacon belonged to the Lin family of Fenghe Town. Now it seems that what they said was simply a lie. You must punish them severely!" the man in blue said angrily.

Hang Qi really didn't want to offend the Wang family, but he was the boss behind Lin's Bacon, so he had to teach him how to say it.

Lin Xi stood in the hall, paying attention to Hang Qi's expression.

It seems that he still has a glimmer of hope, but it doesn't matter. Even if he wants to escape, he doesn't have the courage to offend the Wang family.

As expected, Hang Qi hesitated for a long time and said, "Chuan Linji bacon's person in charge."

Not all of them, He Er, the boss of Lin’s Bacon, is here.

"Are you the owner of Lin's Bacon?" Hang Qi asked.

He Er quickly knelt down and admitted his mistake, "Sir, I am just a salesman, not a boss. Our boss behind the scenes is very mysterious and never shows his true face to others."

"You don't know anything at all?" Hang Qi said.

He Er almost cried, "Sir, I really don't know."

Lin Xi was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Hang Qi was so secretive and didn't reveal his information to others.

It seems that it would be difficult to get Hang Qi's name out of He Er's mouth.

The man in green said, "He Er, when I bought the bacon, you swore to me that it was Lin Ji's product. I didn't expect that you are not the same company as Lin Ji in Fenghe Town. According to the contract between us, you have to pay double compensation."

The next second after the man in blue finished speaking, Lin Xi saw that Hang Qi's face was about to turn the color of liver.

According to the marked price of Lin's bacon, 10,000 jin of bacon is 800 taels, and double the compensation is 1,600 taels.

"Sir, I'm just a worker. Even if you sell me, I'm not worth so much money." He Er nodded repeatedly in fear.

However, the man in green refused to back down. "Humph, it doesn't matter if I can't get the compensation. I can just sue in the capital. The world is so big, there will always be a place of fairness and justice."

This sentence put Hang Qi in a difficult situation. If he couldn't come up with a result today, he would probably completely offend the Yulou Wang family.

"This matter still needs further investigation, don't worry." Hang Qi softened his attitude, "He Er, you said you haven't met the boss, then how do you communicate behind the scenes?"

He Er said, "We always communicated through letters, and never met in person."

At this time, Lin Xi suddenly spoke up, "Sir, I heard that some people's handwriting is always consistent. As long as you check in the county, you can always find someone with the same handwriting. And that person must be the boss, and he must be connected to the person behind the scenes."

She was going to give Hang Qi a good beating today, otherwise she would be sorry for the two actors she had specially invited.

I have to say, these two actors’ acting is really good.

"This matter..." Hang Qi was at a loss for a moment. Did he really have to pay compensation?

"Sir," Lin Xi turned to look at the man in green, "there is another way. It doesn't necessarily require compensation. Why not just exchange this batch of goods for our Lin Ji's meat?"

The man in blue thought for a moment, "This is also a good idea."

Hang Qi's mouth twitched when he heard this. If the fake goods were replaced with real ones, wouldn't that mean he was asking Lin Xi to give him the goods? This would be more painful than killing him.

“Or, we can go directly to the capital and promote Lin’s bacon.” Lin Xi said.

The man in blue shook his head. "The Lianggu County will naturally handle its own affairs. However, we will investigate the person who sold us the fake goods."

At this point, the man in blue suddenly remembered something, "Oh, right, I asked for the boss's signature on the receipt. Isn't the name on it the boss behind the scenes?"

Lin Xi also cooperated in surprise and said, "There is actually such a thing, why don't you take it out quickly."

On the stage, Hang Qi was sweating profusely. He had never expected this to happen. He had written down his real name in order to save face in front of the Wang family of Yulou.

If I take it out in public now...

The consequences are disastrous!

"Wait a minute, such important evidence needs to be carefully checked to see if it is false." Hang Qi said.

The man in blue slapped his head and said, "I forgot it at the inn. Otherwise, please send a few officials to go with me to get it."

How could Hang Qi send more people? The more people know, the bigger the problem will be.

"Okay, He Er, you, Linji Bacon, are selling bacon under the name of someone else, passing inferior bacon off as good quality. This is an unforgivable crime. I punish you to compensate the Yulou Wang family for all the losses!" Hang Qi said.

He Er was dumbfounded. How did this happen to him?

Seeing that He Er didn't say anything, the lawyer quickly stepped forward and kicked him, "Did you hear that? Go back and tell your boss to prepare the silver for compensation."
