After a few more days, He Ji's business became increasingly depressed.
Shopkeeper He sighed as he looked at the huge shop and saw that no one came to visit.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, as if he had thought of something, and he waved to a clever guy.
The two men whispered to each other, and the clever young man went out.
A few more days passed.
Yi Ji was just at the peak of its business when Wang Deli arrived with his yamen runners.
"Yi Yami, Shopkeeper Yi, someone has accused you of food being unclean. A man has died because of it. His brother has come to the mayor to file a complaint. Come on, arrest Shopkeeper Yi and take him back to court for trial." Wang Deli waved his hand, and the bailiffs were about to attack Yi Yami.
As soon as these words were spoken, all the diners stopped eating.
Just when the bailiff was about to grab Yi Yami, Gu Beijian appeared.
"Mayor, you really do everything yourself!" Gu Beijian walked in, fanning himself.
"Haha, I don't deserve it. It's just my duty, my duty..." Wang Deli looked at Gu Beijian. He had been busy giving advice to Manager He recently and had forgotten about this guy.
"Since we have to go to the trial, let's all go together. I believe that the innocent will be innocent and the guilty will be guilty. There is no need to go to the government office. We can just have the trial here in Yiji." Gu Beijian said slowly.
"How can this be disgraceful? The government has its own rules for handling cases. How can a mere mortal like you have the final say?" Wang Deli said sinisterly.
"Mayor Wang, if it's open and fair, it doesn't matter where the trial is. The mayor wants to take him to the government office for trial, but he won't even let us, the people, see the process. Did the mayor accept bribes from others and deliberately make things difficult for Shopkeeper Yi?" Gu Beijian said, staring into Wang Deli's eyes.
"You are talking nonsense. Come here, take this guy away. He is interrupting the police in their investigation, which is a more serious crime." Wang Deli said to the bailiff.
As he spoke, someone wanted to catch Gu Beijian.
"What happened? It's so lively." Yao Wenyuan walked in.
Wang Deli was furious when he heard someone trying to stop him again. Turning around, he saw it was Yao Wenyuan and turned pale with fear. "Sir, County Magistrate, what brings you here?"
"The emperor ordered me to bring it to Manager Yi, but I think there seems to be some misunderstanding now?" Yao Wenyuan looked at the scene and saw several yamen runners preparing to arrest Gu Beijian and Yi Yami.
"It's like this, Your Excellency the County Magistrate. The food prepared by Shopkeeper Yi has caused death, so I am preparing to take her back to the yamen for investigation!" Wang Deli said respectfully.
"Oh, so that's what it is. Well, to demonstrate the openness and fairness of our government, let's hold the trial here so that everyone can see." Yao Wenyuan sat down on the bench.
"Mayor Wang, who should do the trial, you or me?" Yao Wenyuan asked.
"I'm fine with it, but I'm afraid the county magistrate is tired." Wang Deli smiled fakely.
"Then you can judge the case, and I will supervise from the side." Xiao Di handed Yao Wenyuan a cup of tea at the right time.
Yao Wenyuan smiled and nodded at her, then took the tea and took a sip.
"Okay, then I will start the interrogation." Wang Deli replied.
"Bring the plaintiff." Wang Deli shouted.
The yamen runners came in with a disheveled man.
"Who is coming?" Wang Deli said.
"I'm Zhang San." The disheveled man said.
"You previously accused Manager Yi of poisoning your brother's food. Is this true?" Wang Deli asked.
"It's absolutely true, sir. You see, I still have the egg burger from yesterday." Zhang San took out the egg burger.
When everyone saw it, they found that it was indeed no different from the egg burger sold by Yi Ji, and everyone started whispering.
"No way? Is there really something wrong with Iki's stuff?"
"It's hard to say. The main thing is that this egg burger is really similar to the one sold by Ikeji."
"Xiaomin's brother Li Si died after eating this egg burger." Zhang San wiped away his non-existent tears.
"Someone, come and check whether this egg burger is poisonous." Wang Deli said.
The coroner stepped forward and inserted a silver needle into the egg burger. When he pulled it out, the needle turned black, proving that it was indeed poisonous.
"Shopkeeper Yi, what do you want to say?" Wang Deli asked.
"I would like to ask the county magistrate to check whether there is the word "Yi Ji" on the egg burger?" Yi Yami said calmly.
"No problem. Come here, show it to me. Let me take a look." Yao Wenyuan waved to the yamen runner.
Soon the yamen runner brought the egg burger brought by Zhang San to Yao Wenyuan.
Yao Wenyuan picked up a pair of chopsticks and looked at the egg burger from top to bottom and left to right. "It is indeed the word Yi Ji."
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
"Oh my god, it really is Yiji's egg burger!"
"Don't jump to conclusions until the last moment." A customer who often comes to eat at Yi Ji explained for Yi Ji.
"Yiyami, the evidence is conclusive. Come, take him away!" Wang Deli waved to the bailiff.
"Mayor Wang, aren't you too impatient? I haven't finished speaking yet." Yi Yami spoke calmly and waved her hand the next second.
When He Huaizhu heard in the kitchen that his daughter was framed and accused of murdering someone, he was so anxious that he was about to rush out to explain things to the person.
Hongju came in at this time and said, "Don't worry, Auntie. The shopkeeper just said that it's okay, and asked Shopkeeper Yi to make preparations."
When Boss Yi heard that there were things he could do, he immediately asked, "What do you need us to do? Just ask."
Hongju said something to the two people.
