"Good! Well said!"
"That's great what the little girl said!"
The people standing outside all applauded, and even County Magistrate Gao smiled.
Shopkeeper Wang's face turned pale, and he continued to be stubborn, "Humph, everyone can talk nonsense. Isn't it expensive? Twenty-five cents, how much cheaper is that?"
"Manager Wang is really like a sour grape because he can't eat it. My marinade is made from bone broth, sugar, spices for seasoning, and hiring someone to clean it. Which one is cheaper? If you still think it's expensive, then I have nothing to say. After all, we also have roujiamo for five cents."
"Miss Lin, don't listen to him! We love the stewed pork you make!"
"Yes! We can have several meals for twenty-five cents!"
"That's right! I can use your broth to cook a big pot of vegetables! It smells so good!"
Lin Wanwan curled the corners of her mouth and spread her hands towards him. See, this is the voice of the people.
Shopkeeper Wang looked at her smug look and gnashed his teeth in anger.
"Wang Zhengguang! Do you admit your guilt?"
"Sir, I know I am guilty! I was instigated by the shop assistant to find He Dayong and his gang. A few days ago, the shop assistant's cousin came to him to discuss how to frame them. I was persuaded by her to make the plan! It seems that the girl is from the same village as them!"
Lin Wanwan and Li Yuying looked at each other, somewhat unable to believe it.
"What's the name of your fellow?"
"Your Excellency, his name is Wang Gui."
"Someone come! Go and take Wang Gui away!"
After a trial by County Magistrate Gao, it turned out that Wang Gui's cousin was Lin Xiangqiao! Seeing that Lin Wanwan and her friends were doing well in business, she became jealous and asked her cousin for help. Unexpectedly, Shopkeeper Wang was also greedy and wanted to take it for himself. They hit it off and planned today's event.
"He Dayong! Hu Tian and others' accusation that Lin Wanwan and Li Yuying poisoned someone is false. It is a false accusation and frame-up! The charges are proven! They are sentenced to 60 years of caning and three years in prison!"
"The owner of Yunkelou has been found to have instigated and falsely accused Lin Wanwan and Li Yuying. The circumstances are serious and he is sentenced to eighty strokes of the cane! Half of his property will be confiscated."
"Wang Gui, Lin Xiangqiao was the mastermind, sentenced to 80 strokes of the cane, confiscation of all property, and five years in prison."
"Huang Yuan was threatened to give false testimony, so he is not allowed to practice medicine for a year. Ji's pharmacy is negligent in management, so he has to go back and stay in seclusion for seven days!"
"Lin Wanwan and Li Yuying are both victims. Because their stalls were destroyed and their reputations were damaged, they must pay compensation of one hundred taels of silver!"
"Thank you, sir, for your keen insight! I, the humble lady, thank you, sir!"
Lin Wanwan and Sister Yuying bowed respectfully to the county magistrate, stood aside, and watched them carry out the execution with cold eyes.
Lin Xiangqiao hasn't arrived yet because the journey is too long. Of course she can't escape the punishment. Whether she will be beaten to death depends on her luck.
Lin Wanwan knew that the county magistrate imposed such a heavy penalty largely because of the pressure from Fu Junyi. If it weren't for him, the outcome today would be different.
"Master Gao! Since they have been convicted, I will take them back first! I will host a banquet for you another day, and I hope you will come and show up."
"Hahahaha, Master Fu has invited me, how can I refuse? I will definitely be there!"
After saying that, he stared at Lin Wanwan again, suddenly smiled, and beckoned her to come forward.
Lin Wanwan approached suspiciously and stopped to wait for him to speak.
The county magistrate smiled and said, "Did you come up with this Fenggu car?"
When Lin Wanwan heard this, she lowered her head and said quickly, "Your Excellency, the head of the village and the others worked together to come up with this!"
"Okay, don't be afraid. I have no ill intentions. I have heard everything. It is because of your adventure that you got such a wonderful farm tool. You are not greedy for credit. You have extraordinary insights at a young age. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can come to me directly and I will help you!"
"Thank you, sir! I will obey the law and do more good deeds in the future, so as not to disappoint you!"
"Hahaha, great kindness!"
After coming out of the yamen, they thanked the onlookers and went back with Fu Junyi.
Sitting in the Fu family's carriage, Lin Wanwan couldn't help but look around. The carriage was magnificent, spacious and stable, and it must have been expensive.
Li Yuying was completely shocked. It was also her first time riding in a carriage. She was surprised and excited, and was full of curiosity about this Mr. Fu.
"I would like to thank Master Fu for his help today! Otherwise, Wanwan and my sister-in-law would have suffered."
Fu Junyi waved his folding fan and smiled elegantly, "Miss Lin, you don't have to be polite. We are business partners now. Shaowei can't ignore it. Miss Lin and my sister-in-law were frightened today. Fu's house has prepared a light banquet. You two can rest for a while, and then I will send you home, okay?"
"Then I'm sorry to bother you, Master Fu!"
As soon as he entered the Fu family, Fu Qiu couldn't help but come forward and said excitedly: "Miss Lin, you are really amazing! The sugar water has turned into white sugar!"
Lin Wanwan couldn't help but feel happy after hearing this, "Oh? Where is it? Let me take a look too!"
Fu Junyi hit Fu Dong with his fan.
"Don't worry, the maid will take you to change your clothes first. It will be in time to watch it after dinner."
"Girl, ma'am, please follow us."
Li Yuying followed them vaguely. It was the first time she was called Madam. Now she had experienced the way a wealthy family behaved. It was so exciting...
There were two sets of clothes in the room, and the two old women were helping them change. Li Yuying was so scared that she jumped up.
Lin Wanwan said to them: "Thank you, two aunts. My sister-in-law is not used to having help. We can do it ourselves."
The two maids smiled and nodded, "Then you two can change by yourselves, we won't bother you."
Only after they left did Li Yuying breathe a sigh of relief.
"Wanwan, who is this Mr. Fu? Why is he so polite to you?"
