When Magistrate Tu heard the report from the yamen runner, he sneered.
"Heh... go tell him that I don't need him to teach me how to do things. If he's anxious, go check it out himself!"
It’s so annoying! I finally got a chance to sleep in, but all my sleepiness is gone because of this noise.
Mr. Jin looked at the closed door of Fengweiju across the street and snorted coldly, "Great! We've lost another strong competitor!"
He was in a good mood, humming a little tune and rocking in the recliner.
"Go... hang up a sign. Chives will be available in a month, and the rest of the vegetables will be limited daily!"
Although it hurts to think that I spent one thousand taels, I can make it back in one month with five stores, so I feel very happy.
But I didn't expect an uninvited guest to come to my door.
"Smash it... smash it for me..." Wang Buer led a group of servants holding sticks and looked aggressive.
The sound of "bang bang bang" never stopped.
Mr. Jin was pulled over by the waiter. He was furious, "Stop... Stop... In broad daylight, is there any justice?"
In an instant, many people gathered outside the shop.
"Wang Buer, what on earth do you want to do? Stop it!"
He looked at Wang Buer, who had a roguish grin on his face, his eyes full of disgust.
Wang Bu'er sat on the stool and sneered, "Hmph... I, Wang Bu'er, dare to take responsibility for my actions. Unlike some people, who are hypocritical and resort to despicable means!"
Master Jin was so angry that his face turned red. "You...if you have something to say, just say it. I, Jin, do things in an upright manner. The burning of your house has nothing to do with me. Don't slander me like that!"
Wang Buer stared at him closely, "Heh... I'm making this clear today. Until the murderer is found, you can forget about doing business at Zui Xiang Lou! Humph..."
"You...you're really going too far! Someone...go report this to the police!"
The people around were also whispering.
"Wang Buer is so brazen? Does he have evidence?"
"Who knows? But it's better for us not to come to Zui Xiang Lou. Someone was killed there a few days ago!"
"Don't talk nonsense, they've already investigated everything, it's a deliberate frame-up!"
"Hey... I think this Zui Xiang Lou is having a bad year. Let's not join in the fun. Look at that young master Wang, he looks like a madman!"
Someone pursed his lips, "Tsk... he deserves it. He's worried about his house, right? His father is still lying in the coffin now, tsk tsk..."
"Hey...his father's lifelong reputation is about to be ruined by him! How sad!"
At this time, Shopkeeper Jin sat down on a stool while listening to the discussions around him.
"I have a clear conscience and no motives whatsoever. But why do you suspect me? Perhaps you're just being culpable!"
Wang Buer was so angry that he stepped forward and slapped Master Jin in the face, leaving him stunned.
At the same time, the noise around stopped and everyone was shocked.
"Wang Buer, you're going too far! I think you're tired of living!"
Then, the two men started fighting, and no one went to stop them.
When the officers and soldiers arrived, the two men were unrecognizable, with bruised faces and noses, and their shop was smashed to pieces.
"Disperse, disperse, what are you all doing here?"
Mr. Jin sat down on the ground and cried, "Officer, he came to my house in broad daylight to smash and destroy things. Please seek justice for me! Wuuwuwu..."
The official felt overwhelmed and sighed at the two crying men.
"You two are considered prominent figures in Nanzhou. You're not ashamed of being beaten like this!"
When Mr. Jin heard the ambiguous words, he became extremely anxious and stared at Wang Buer fiercely, wishing he could bury him alive!
"Okay, let's go, follow me to the government office!"
Mr. Jin suddenly stopped crying and cupped his hands, "Please allow me to tidy up my appearance!"
The officers and soldiers couldn't help laughing when they saw this, and waved their hands, "Hurry up!"
Mr. Jin waved to the waiter, "Wait, you're doing this..."
The waiter was stunned, "Master... this... this"
Master Jin roared angrily, "I'll give him a taste of his own medicine. He thinks I'm easy to bully! Humph... I won't be a human being until I get rid of this!"
He figured it out. The reason why Wang Buer acted this way was probably because the person who framed him last time was not Tianxianglou, but him. Otherwise, he would have no reason to act this way.
The two men came to the government office. Prefect Tu couldn't help laughing when he saw their appearance. He turned his head away and composed his expression before starting to try the case.
"Are you two fighting?"
Wang Buer pointed angrily at Master Jin and said, "Sir, my Fengweiju is in competition with Zuixianglou. I suspect he was the one who deliberately burned down my courtyard and caused my father's tragic death! Sir, you have to make the decision for me!"
Mr. Jin was also indignant. "Just because we're competitors, you suspect me? Your reason is too far-fetched. I'm not the only one in this Nanzhou Restaurant! Where is the evidence?"
Wang Bu'er was speechless for a moment, his neck raised, "Our two restaurants are right across from each other, and yours was about to close, but I don't know what tricks it used to revive, who else could it be but you?"
Seeing his anxious face, Mr. Jin felt extremely happy and stopped arguing with him. Instead, he looked at Prefect Tu who was watching the show at the top.
"Sir, he is clearly jealous of my business and is plotting to kill me. Please, sir, help me!"
Prefect Tu stroked his beard and said, "That's right. You have no evidence whatsoever, and you come here to provoke me based on nothing but blind guesses. Where do you think the laws of my kingdom are?"
Wang Buer shuddered at the sound of his voice. "Sir... I'm also a victim. I went on a long journey and lost my father and the whole family. I'm so innocent! Wuuwuwu... Please, sir, help me!"
