"explain!"
"It is a deep voice," the town magistrate said.
Song Jiang opened her mouth and said, "Wen Xu usually eats the worst food at the academy, but that day he not only treated me to food, but also had money to pay for my medical expenses..."
hateful.
Eat his food and drink his water.
He's betraying him now.
Wen Xu said, "I treat you as a friend. When I made money copying books, I treated you to a meal right away, but you suspect that my money was obtained illegally."
Song Xia asked, "You said you earned the money by copying books, which shop did you take the job from?"
Wen Xu spoke without the slightest hesitation.
Yan Jinling led his men to inquire, and it was indeed as he had said.
but.
He still brought the shopkeeper back.
After all, the case is still under trial.
His testimony is needed.
Upon seeing the shopkeeper, the town magistrate immediately inquired, "Who is this person in the hall?"
"My name is Zhang Ji."
Zhang Ji added at the end that he was the manager of Cuishan Bookstore.
The town magistrate glanced at him and then asked, "Do you know Wen Xu? Does he take on book copying jobs at your shop?"
"I know him, and we've connected."
Zhang Ji nodded and said, "He came to hand in the books the day before yesterday afternoon. He handed in ten books, at two hundred and ten coins per book, for a total of two taels of silver and one hundred coins."
Although it was a lot of money, it would still take Wen Xu a long time to copy all ten books.
If that's the case, then the money is roughly equivalent.
That proves he wasn't lying.
When the town mayor came to his senses, he asked Song Jiang how much they had spent on the barbecue skewers, how much they had spent at Song's Fast Food Restaurant, and how much they had paid for medical expenses.
After detailed calculations.
Wen Xu spent a total of 425 coins.
He took out the rest, and there were only about ten coins left.
There is no doubt that there will be no problem.
The magistrate slammed his gavel and said, "Song Jiang, considering that you spread rumors about him having an upset stomach because of Wen Xu, I hereby order you to compensate Song Xia with three taels of silver, and Wen Xu shall compensate you with the remaining two taels."
Although Song Jiang was unwilling, she didn't say anything more.
"Yes, sir."
Wen Xu, on the other hand, showed no sign of reluctance.
When Ji Ying arrived, the case had already been heard.
Song Xia and Song Lao Si saw him as soon as they went out.
"how's it going?"
Ji Ying only found out after Song Qiu told him, and he asked while looking Song Xia up and down.
Song Xia told him the truth.
Ji Ying frowned: "There's clearly something wrong with this. They're definitely not telling the truth."
Upon hearing this...
Song Xia opened her mouth and said, "How could I not know they weren't telling the truth? But they are scholars, and they were in the main hall. I can't just grab them and beat them up to force them to talk, can I?"
Ji Ying smiled.
Song Xia snorted and said, "Is it funny?"
"Um."
Ji Ying nodded and said, "I really didn't expect you to have this day..."
Song Xia: "..."
She's not invincible.
The more Song Laosi looked at them, the more he thought they were a perfect match. He chuckled and said, "You two chat, I'll head back first."
He left after saying that.
They walked incredibly fast.
Ji Ying turned his gaze back to Song Xia and said, "Do you want me to help you investigate?"
Song Xia didn't stand on ceremony with Ji Ying: "Okay, thank you."
"Walk!"
Ji Ying gestured for Song Xia to get into the carriage.
After she got into the carriage.
He had the driver take them back to Shengyuan Casino.
then.
Ji Ying sent someone to call Jin Ge back and asked him to arrange for someone to secretly investigate Wen Xu and his group.
After Jin asked Song Xia for clarification, he went down to make the arrangements.
He had just left.
Ji Ying looked at Song Xia and said, "Such a big thing happened, and Song Qiu knew to come to me, but you didn't. You really don't consider me a friend."
Song Xia met his gaze and said, "I thought I could handle it myself, but things weren't as simple as I thought. In the end, we proved our fast food restaurant's innocence, but we still couldn't find out who was behind it."
Listen to what she has to say.
Ji Ying pondered for a moment and said, "If you haven't offended anyone, then the person who targeted your fast food restaurant is very likely the owner of the Huaiyuan Academy cafeteria."
Who owns the canteen at Huaiyuan Academy?
Song Xia suddenly realized: "My fast food restaurant is affecting their cafeteria's business?"
"right!"
Before Song Xia could ask, Ji Ying continued, "Her name is Ning Yu. She is the younger sister of the dean of Huaiyuan Academy. Her husband died early, and she raised her two children by herself, relying on this cafeteria."
Song Xia said, "I don't care who she is. As long as it's confirmed to be her, I definitely won't let this go."
"Um."
Ji Ying had no objections.
Mainly, he didn't like Ning Yu either.
Because she actually set her sights on him and tried to marry her daughter to him.
I've been investigating for several days.
The people sent by Brother Jin met Wen Xu and Ning Yu's men.
Wen Xu failed and even used several taels of silver from her.
Ning Yu originally wanted to beat him up, but her older brother found out and stopped her. In the end, she gave Wen Xu five taels of silver.
Jin Ge immediately reported to Ji Ying: "Boss, the people I sent out only saw Ning Yu's men giving money to Wen Xu, but we don't know what they said in detail."
"Arrest them!"
Ji Ying toyed with the teacup in his hand.
Since Ning Yu was able to target Song Xia's fast food restaurant, he didn't believe that she hadn't done anything else bad in all these years of running the cafeteria.
I just brought the person back.
Ji Ying's father, Ji Tong, came to the gambling den to find him not long after.
"Father, what brings you here?"
Ji Ying was quite surprised to see his father, because since he handed over the family business to him, his father had rarely come to the gambling den, and usually took his mother out to play.
"Release them!"
Ji Tong spoke frankly.
Ji Ying was stunned for a moment and said, "Dad, what are you talking about? I don't understand what you're saying."
Do you want me to spell it out?
Ji Tong said with a stern face.
Who contacted him?
Ji Ying stood up and said, "Father, why are you helping Ning Yu?"
He had never seen them interact before.
It's impossible for the two of them to have any relationship.
Ji Tong admitted frankly.
“Ning came to me. He knew this matter must be related to you, so he asked me to help plead for leniency. He said that as long as you are willing to let Ning Yu go, the cafeteria can be yours.”
Ji Ying smirked and said, "Do we care about this cafeteria?"
That kid.
Ji Tong then said, "Of course Dad knows you don't care about that cafeteria, so I told him to transfer it to someone else to manage, someone who's law-abiding. As for Ning Yu, I told him to send her back to her hometown..."
"What if Ning Yu doesn't stop causing trouble in the future?"
Ji Ying asked Ji Tong.
Ji Tong pursed his lips and said, "It shouldn't be that bad. I've already had Ning Wen tell Ning Yu that you have incriminating evidence against her. If she dares to cause any more trouble, send her to jail..."
Ning Wen does know how to find people.
Ji Ying smiled helplessly and said, "Father, you really know how to make things difficult for me. Song Xia rarely asks me to do something for her, and in the end, I couldn't do it for her. She doesn't really like me to begin with, so when will I ever be able to marry her?"
"You still want to marry her?"
Ji Tong said, his voice stinging, "Didn't your brother say that she doesn't have feelings for you...?"
Ji Hao has such a big mouth.
Ji Ying really wanted to kick him, but unfortunately he wasn't there.
All evidence has been collected.
Ji Yingfang's men, once released, went to Songji Fast Food Restaurant to find Song Xia.
