Wang Zhong was quickly brought to the courtyard. When he saw this situation, his brows frowned slightly and his face looked very unhappy.
He raised his eyes to look at Su Xiaozhong, and a sneer of contempt appeared on the corner of his lips, "Second Shopkeeper Dai, what do you want to see me about?"
The word "代" was emphasized very heavily, as if afraid that others would ignore its existence.
Such childish ridicule did not cause any ripples in Su Xiaozhong's heart.
In the past, when he faced Wang Zhong, he would always respond with a smile, but today, he had a stern face, cold eyes, and his tone unconsciously became cold, "Wang Zhong, is this thing yours?"
Su Xiaozhong threw a small bandage in front of him.
Wang Zhong wears this bandage on his wrist all year round. It is said that it was given to him by his former beloved girl. Unfortunately, the girl has already married, and he can only think of her when he sees the bandage.
Because of this, everyone knew who the strap belonged to and how important it was to Wang Zhong.
Wang Zhong looked at the bandage thrown on the ground, picked it up immediately, carefully brushed off the dust on it, his face full of joy at having recovered it.
After his joy, he turned gloomy and stared at Su Xiaozhong with unfriendly eyes.
"Where did you find the straps?"
Facing his question, Su Xiaozhong did not answer, but asked: "So, you admit it?"
"Yes, it's mine."
Even if he didn't want to admit it.
Wang Zhong narrowed his eyes and scanned the people around him, with a bad feeling in his heart.
Su Xiaozhong snorted coldly and gave the order directly: "Take him down."
Li Er and others could no longer wait. After hearing the second manager's order, they rushed forward and held Wang Zhong down.
Wang Zhong struggled desperately and glared at Su Xiaozhong, "What do you want to do? I am the third shopkeeper's man, you can't touch me."
"Humph." Su Xiaozhong snorted disdainfully, "You killed my people, and I'll take you down. I don't think the Third Shopkeeper will say anything more."
Hearing this, he struggled even more violently, shouting that it was unfair.
"Don't slander me. I didn't kill anyone."
Li Er stepped forward and kicked him hard. "You still say you don't have it. We found your things in Wang Erma's room. This thing must have been left there by accident when you committed the crime last night."
"Nonsense! I, I lost this strap yesterday during the day."
"Who can testify?"
Wang Zhong was completely silent.
It was lost yesterday evening, and he didn't tell anyone around him about it, so naturally no one knew about it.
Wang Zhong felt aggrieved and had no way to defend himself.
He looked at Su Xiaozhong, "Although I don't agree with you, you can't wrongly accuse me. I really didn't kill anyone."
"Words are not enough." Su Xiaozhong said impartially.
"What reason do I have to kill him? What benefit will killing him bring to me?" Wang Zhong's eyes were red with anger and he asked harshly.
He looked expectantly at the people around him, hoping that someone would plead for him.
But this is the second shopkeeper's territory after all, and everyone knows that he and Su Xiaozhong are not on good terms, so who would dare to speak for him?
To speak up for him would be courting death. No one would be that stupid.
A small thug standing on the periphery suddenly stepped forward, bowed to Su Xiaozhong who was in a higher position, and said respectfully, "Second Shopkeeper, I have something to report."
"explain."
After getting the permission, the little henchman turned his gaze to Wang Zhong, "I can prove why Wang Zhong wanted to kill Wang Erma."
Everyone's eyes were on him, even Wang Zhong was staring at him angrily.
He wanted to hear how he planned to frame him.
At this moment, in Wang Zhong's mind, everything in front of him seemed like a situation aimed at him, and he seriously suspected that this was a situation set by Su Xiaozhong against him.
"Three days ago, I saw Erma and Wang Zhong quarreling. They quarreled fiercely. Wang Zhong said directly that he would kill him. There were many people present at the incident, so I guess I was not the only one who heard it."
As soon as that incident was mentioned, it immediately awoke the memories of many people, and soon one or two of them jumped out to prove it.
Wang Zhong had no way to defend himself because it was true.
"Wang Zhong, now we have both witnesses and evidence, do you have anything else to say? Come, lock him up and wait for the decision of the chief manager." Su Xiaozhong said.
"yes."
Su Xiaozhong waved his hand and had someone drag Wang Zhong away.
No matter how loudly Wang Zhong cried out for justice, no one believed in his innocence.
Su Xiaozhong said to Li Er with a sad face: "Give more silver to Wang Erma's family, and take better care of his family in the future, don't let anyone bully them. Tell them that if they have any problems in the future, they can come to me. Since Erma followed me and left first, I have to be responsible for his family and will never let anyone bully them."
These words moved the brothers present, and there was more respect in their eyes when they looked at Su Xiaozhong.
For those of us who live on the edge of a knife, what we fear most is the livelihood of our families after we die.
Now, the second shopkeeper's actions really pleased them, and naturally their favorable impression of him doubled.
I have to say that Su Xiaozhong is really trying to increase his favorability all the time. When the favorability reaches a certain level, it turns into loyalty and can be used by him.
This is what I learned from those old foxes in my previous life.
Small favors are of no use to those old foxes, but they are extremely useful to the people living at the bottom of society.
After resolving the issues at Baishan Hall, Su Xiaozhong calculated the time to leave.
He has an appointment with his daughter today, so he can't be late.
On the other side, Su Yin and his group got up early.
She checked outside immediately and saw that the two people who were following her were still there, which disrupted her plan to find Master Wan San today.
Since I'm going to see my father today, I think those two people will leave before noon.
Su Yin waited patiently in the inn.
The shopkeeper of Zixiao Pavilion has already sent his shop assistants to Wan Mansion to ask for instructions.
He had to confirm the authenticity of this matter.
Su Yin didn't get any news, but the shopkeeper of Zixiao Pavilion got the news first.
The waiter hurried into the inn, "Boss, good news."
"What good news?"
"The boss has returned safely."
"Really?" The shopkeeper of Zixiao Pavilion was extremely happy.
"It's absolutely true." The waiter replied happily, and seemed to have thought of something, and said hurriedly: "I also met the boss. The boss told us to entertain them well. A carriage will come to pick them up tonight. Go home."
The shopkeeper secretly thanked him!
Fortunately he kept them.
Judging from the boss's appearance, he attaches great importance to this group of people.
Don’t they have any identity?
The shopkeeper muttered to himself.
Near noon, the two people who were following Baishantang left in a hurry.
Oh, Dad really did it.
She glanced at the time and it was almost the agreed time, so it was time to go out and meet her father.
