Chapter 197: Some unruly people want to harm me
"Haha, I can't hide anything from you." Wen Yan looked away guiltily and continued.
"Wen Ruyue's ostentatious opening of a grain shop is just stepping on the heels of a local tyrant.
How could the local big grain merchants and landlords just sit back and do nothing?
Rather than letting the local rich businessmen get a bargain, it’s better for me.
After all, we are all from Beijing, so we should keep the wealth within our family, right?
Since there were outsiders around, she didn't foolishly tell everything.
Meng Xiyan looked at her dodging eyes and knew that she was not telling the truth.
But I didn't ask any further questions.
Just waved his hand: "I know these things, you go back first."
Wen Yan: "What about the bandit suppression matter...?"
"I have my own ideas." Meng Xiyan didn't want to say more to her, so he served tea and sent the guest away.
Wen Yan wrinkled her nose and said goodbye.
As soon as Wen Yan left, an officer came in and said, "Sir, it's a letter from the capital."
Meng Xiyan opened the letter and read it quickly. Suddenly, he laughed silently.
The Yuan leader was curious: "What does the letter say?
But something important happened in Beijing?"
"Look for yourself." Meng Xiyan handed him the letter with a smile in his eyes.
Leader Yuan read it in confusion, then his face changed and he spoke incoherently: "What? What?! Chi Fei wants to send food over."
Meng Xiyan looked at the direction where Wen Yan disappeared, revealing a gloating expression: "What are you worried about? This time, someone is in front to block the knife for you."
A sudden inspiration struck Chief Yuan. He asked Meng Xiyan, "Could she be the woman we sent home on the day we set out?"
Meng Xiyan nodded.
Chief Yuan covered his mouth in shock: "It's her! How could such a pretty face become like this!"
Meng Xiyan also showed a worried look, "Do you think her husband will abandon her just because she's disfigured?"
"That shouldn't be the case. I don't think her husband is that kind of person." Leader Yuan looked away and didn't dare to tell Meng Xiyan about his relationship with Ying Zhilin.
After Wen Yan left the government office, he did not return to his residence immediately.
Instead, he took Pearl to eat, stroll and have fun on the street.
After having lunch outside, they were about to go back.
I saw pedestrians running in one direction.
At the same time, he said something like: "Eat dead people!"
"It's true that moldy food cannot be eaten."
Look at the direction these people are going.
Could it be that something went wrong with Wen Ruyue’s grain store?
Wen Yan pulled Pei'er and followed the crowd.
After a while, they saw that the front of the "Miao Bi Zhai" shop was surrounded by people.
Wen Yan also learned the general situation from other people.
Someone bought Wen Ruyue's food, suffered from diarrhea and vomiting after eating it, and is now in critical condition.
The victim's family members came to the front of the shop to make a scene.
Wen Yan squeezed to the innermost part of the crowd.
Then I saw a plump woman crying and saying, "It's all my fault.
In order to save money to buy food from this family, I almost lost my husband's life!
Wuuwuwuwu…
If anything happens to my husband, how will I live as a woman? "
“Other rice shops only want my money, but your grain shop wants my life!
The owner of Miaobi Zhai is a wicked person with a rotten heart and lungs."
This person was crying and cursing, and every word he said had to be roundabout.
It makes people feel extremely upset.
Wen Yan raised an eyebrow.
Wasn’t she the first woman to buy food in the morning?
She bought the most at that time.
The plump woman grabbed the rice bag and poured out the grain inside: "Everyone, come and take a look. Don't buy her food. It will really kill you!"
Then he cried out, "What a strong musty smell!"
“The grain has turned green.”
"They dare to sell this kind of food. Their consciences have been eaten by dogs!"
Some people were so angry that they started cursing.
Seeing this, the people in the store quickly came out to explain: "That's not the case. My food doesn't have so much mold. If you don't believe me, you can go to the store and see for yourself now..."
"Bah! Every business puts the best stuff out there to show off. You must have tampered with the goods while they were loading them, mixing this moldy stuff in."
"Black-hearted merchants, get out of Jinyang Prefecture!"
"Yes! Get out of Jinyang Prefecture!"
Just then.
Another man, holding a child, rushed over and cursed the shop owner: "Swindler! You're selling moldy grain and killing my son!"
"My son is in poor health, so all the good food and drinks at home are given to him.
I spent a day's wages to buy half a pound of food, just wanting my son to have something good to eat, but I didn't expect it would cost him his life!"
"Jinyang Prefecture is already in difficulty, and unscrupulous merchants are using moldy grain to harm people.
I don't think you're a grain merchant, but someone sent by the northern barbarians to cause trouble!"
For a time, the crowd was outraged.
No rotten vegetables or rotten eggs.
They threw stones at the shop.
Wen Yan also saw the food spilled on the ground.
Wen Yan knew very well what was happening with the grain.
How could it possibly turn green?
Wen Ruyue has fallen into someone else's trap.
The local grain merchants and landlords were so anxious that they couldn't endure it for even a day.
After a while.
The shop windows were broken and many stones were thrown into the grain barrels.
The guy was hit so hard that several big bruises appeared on his forehead.
In the end, he had to run back to the store with his tail between his legs and close the door.
Wen Ruyue finally dared to show up: "What should I do? Are these unruly people going to smash my shop?"
Man, I don’t know what to do!
I could only lower my head and pretend not to hear.
Wen Ruyue turned to look at Qingzhu and said, "Go find Situ Ming. He must be able to handle this situation. Go out the back door and call him over."
Qingzhu responded, turned around and ran.
After a while, she ran back crying.
There was a bloody hole on his forehead.
"Didn't I tell you to go find Situ Ming? Why are you back?" Wen Ruyue was only concerned about her own grain shop and didn't notice the bleeding wound on Qingzhu's forehead.
It would be a lie to say I wasn't heartbroken.
Qingzhu didn't dare show it at all.
She said anxiously, "Madam, the back door is also blocked by those refugees."
"What did you say!" Wen Ruyue suddenly became anxious.
"Madam, we can't get out." Qingzhu cried, "How can we get help?"
"Cry, cry, cry. All you do is cry. You've cried away all your fortune." Wen Ruyue scolded Qingzhu irritably.
Qingzhu quickly covered her mouth, not daring to cry anymore.
Wen Ruyue paced back and forth anxiously, thinking of a solution quickly.
But there is no way to escape, no matter how many methods I use, it is useless.
Right at this moment.
There was a commotion outside the shop: "Get out of the way, it's the police.
The officials are here."
Wen Ruyue leaned over the broken window and looked out.
Sure enough, I saw a group of officers with swords running towards this side.
Wen Ruyue was delighted.
As soon as the officers had the situation under control, she immediately opened the shop door and ran out.
She said to the officer in a domineering manner: "These villains want to harm me, arrest them quickly. Ah..."
She had just finished speaking.
A stone as big as an egg hit her forehead.
A big red bump suddenly appeared on Wen Ruyue's forehead.
The man holding the child pointed at Wen Ruyue and shouted angrily, "You profiteer, it's not enough that you killed my child, you're now trying to turn the tables on me! Go to hell!"
