Chapter 75: Stealing a Chicken, Losing the Rice



This troublemaker has become a persistent troublemaker on the street, always doing some shabby little things, and this has happened to him more than once or twice in the headman's mansion.

He has to be locked up for a few days each time, but he still doesn't learn his lesson and keeps doing nothing every day.

"I am the one who wants to file a complaint. I want to sue the owner of the He Ji noodle stall. Because he can't do as much business as my family, he has evil intentions and even bribed people to come to my house to deliberately cause trouble, intending to destroy my family's business. The witness has already admitted it himself and confessed that the mastermind behind the scenes is this boss He."

Jiang Sui didn't give anyone a chance to speak first and took the initiative.

When Boss He heard this, he got anxious and tried to argue:

"No, Master Pavilion Master, don't listen to her nonsense. How could I do such a thing?"

"The witness is here, what do you have to argue about?" Jiang Sui turned around and pulled the troublemaker to the head of the pavilion, not knowing where he got the strength from.

The man who was causing trouble lowered his head, not daring to look the headman in the eye, feeling very guilty.

On the other side, Mr. Zeng had pushed Su Yanqing to Xiao Lanlan's side. The two looked at each other inadvertently. Xiao Lanlan, who had her hands on her waist and a look of indignation, saw Su Yanqing coming and quickly put down her hands and stood properly.

Su Yanqing noticed her little change and couldn't help but curl his lips.

Xiao Hechuan's eyes were full of his wife at this moment. He looked at her with starry eyes and admired her very much. He felt that Jiang Sui was particularly powerful at this moment. Both Boss He and the bad guys seemed to be very afraid of her.

The head of the pavilion stood with his hands behind his back, listening to Jiang Sui's words. He glanced meaningfully at Boss He, who looked guilty, and then looked at the troublemaker. He recognized him at a glance:

"Li Si, it's you again, you rascal! You really are incorrigible!"

Li Si came here so many times that he naturally recognized him. This kid was idle all day long and always caused minor troubles.

Li Si was recognized and looked at the pavilion chief with an awkward smile:

"Master Pavilion Master, what a coincidence, we meet again."

"Hmph, you are so relaxed, and this time you are helping others to cheat people again. Okay, quickly explain clearly, is it as this young lady said, that the owner of He Ji Noodle Stall ordered you to come here to cause trouble?"

The duty of the pavilion chief is to resolve these disputes, and he always has to find out the whole story.

Li Si knew that he couldn't escape today. Xiao Ji still had the support of Jishantang. They were so persistent. If he didn't explain himself, he would suffer a greater loss. He was not a person who didn't know how to deal with the current situation.

So, Li Si carefully recounted all the details of how Boss He had come to cause trouble for him, during which Boss He's face turned blue and purple.

After Li Si finished speaking, he immediately acted pitiful to gain sympathy:

"Master Pavilion Master, I was blinded by greed. Ever since the Xiaoji rice noodle stall came to our street, we have been unable to do business. We also have to support our family, so I was jealous and did this stupid thing. I know I was wrong, can't I apologize to the two young ladies of the Xiao family?

"Since this is my first offense, please make this matter smaller, Sir!"

"It seems that you have confessed to what you have done, but your behavior is really bad. Doing business is based on one's own ability. How can you frame others?

Don't tell me all this nonsense. Since you made a mistake, you should apologize to others. Moreover, since this matter has come to me, I must enforce the law impartially and not show favoritism.

You instructed Li Si to deliberately cause trouble. According to the law, you will be imprisoned for five days. And Li Si, who accepted bribes and did mean things, will be punished by returning the copper coins to Mr. He and imprisoned for another three days. "

The captain was indeed fair and impartial, which made Jiang Sui respect him very much, and she got the result she wanted.

When Boss He heard that he would be locked up for five days, his expression was as if he had been struck by lightning.

"Master, you can't lock me up. I still have business to run and my family can't do without me. So, you can just fine me a little money, but can you not let me go to jail?"

He has been a bit of a name in this town for so many years. If people knew that he got himself into jail for a few days, wouldn't they laugh at him to death? Wouldn't his reputation be ruined?

"How dare you! How can the law allow you to bargain? If you say anything more, you will be punished even more severely!"

The head of the pavilion couldn't stand his behavior and didn't tolerate him.

Boss He really looked ashen this time, as decadent as a defeated rooster. He glanced at Li Si viciously, cursing him in his heart for being a spineless man who had given him away just because of a casual threat.

If he hadn't seen him as a thorny rogue and thought that this kind of rogue was the most annoying, he would not have looked for him. But now, he didn't annoy the Xiao family, but annoyed himself.

Li Si was also unhappy with him and reluctantly returned his money to him. He didn't get any advantage and had to spend a few days in jail.

The head of the pavilion asked Mr. He to apologize to Jiang Sui and the others. Mr. He was very reluctant, but due to the majesty of the head of the pavilion, he still did it:

"I'm sorry, Miss Jiang."

Although it was not sincere, it was enough. Jiang Sui's goal had been achieved. I believe that after this incident, they will be honest for a while.

Finally, Boss He and Li Si were taken away by two yamen runners, and the onlookers began to applaud and praise the headman for his fairness.

The headman has gotten used to it, as he has always enjoyed a good reputation in the town.

The matter was resolved, and the pavilion chief looked at Jiang Sui and said with a smile:

"I've heard that there's a hot and sour noodle shop in our town. Everyone says your noodles are delicious. Since you're here today, I'll try a bowl too!"

The rich aroma of the big bone soup wafted from the pot, making the pavilion chief greedy.

I've always known about it, but never had the time to try it. I have to try it today.

"Master, please take a seat. I will go and cook noodles for you. Would you like it spicy or not spicy?" Jiang Sui was willing to entertain such a good official.

Although he had no rank, he still received a salary from the court. Those who did practical things for the people were good officials and would be promoted in the future.

"Make it a little spicier, I like spicy food." The pavilion chief said with a smile.

He sat down and nodded to Mr. Zeng and Su Yanqing. He knew Mr. Zeng, who was originally from Baima Town.

Xiao Lanlan was also very considerate. She made mung bean soup for the pavilion master to relieve the heat and said it was free. The pavilion master praised them for their business skills and clever ideas. No wonder customers were willing to come here.

Jiang Sui quickly cooked the hot and sour noodles. She also made a bowl of mixed noodles, intending to let the pavilion chief taste it.

The pavilion chief was puzzled when he saw the two bowls of noodles. Jiang Sui quickly explained:

"Master Pavilion Chief, today we are all given justice thanks to your impartiality. You have worked hard. This is your first time eating noodles here. These two bowls of noodles are my treat."
