"this……"
Chen Wang lay on the ground, his teeth almost broken.
When he first learned from Chang Qing that Su Liuye was going to report to the government, he originally planned to come over and watch a joke.
When he saw Chen Qingqing, he already felt something was wrong and wanted to leave on the spot. Unfortunately, before he even lifted his feet, Su Liuye only glanced at him and he was pushed out.
At that moment, he almost doubted whether there were spies arranged by Su Liuye in this crowd...
Dozens of rounds went back and forth in his mind. Before Chen Wang could figure out how to answer, the county magistrate's voice had turned cold, "Chen Wang, this is the county government. Before you speak, you'd better think clearly about what to say." Say, what shouldn’t be said!”
Chen Wang's whole body trembled and he lowered his head deeply.
The next second, he gritted his teeth and said with a bit more firmness in his voice, "Return to your lord, selling the recipe is the work of Hu Jinming alone. He first deceived the common people. This recipe is passed down from his family!"
"The grassroots are the ones who open the shop. If he hadn't deceived the grassroots in the name of his ancestors and given the grassroots ten thousand courage, he would never dare to do these illegal and criminal things!"
Su Liuye sneered on the spot.
Recently, her cyclamen advertisements have reached the neighboring county. She doesn't believe that Chen Wang knows nothing about her snacks!
Sure enough, Hu Jinming, who was busy blaming the blame just now, immediately changed his expression when he heard Chen Wang's words. Even Chen Qingqing couldn't care about it for a while, "Shopkeeper Chen, what do you mean? Let's not talk about ordinary households. Is the recipe passed down worth ten taels of silver? As for your newly opened Yingxian Pavilion store, from inside and outside the island, even the snack packaging is imitated by cyclamen. You said you don’t recognize this recipe? Who believes it?"
The expression on Hu Jinming's face became more and more sarcastic, "If you really didn't know, you wouldn't have imitated it so well!"
"this……"
Chen Wang was obviously a little angry, but other things were fine, except for Yingxian Pavilion. It was not as simple as whether he wanted to admit that such a big store was placed here.
After a while, the county magistrate also noticed something fishy, and his voice became a little colder.
"Chen Wang, according to the current records, there is obvious theft in the Yingxian Pavilion under your name! If you admit it in time and get forgiveness from Shopkeeper Su, everything will be fine. But if you are stubborn, don't No wonder this yamen’s punishment is so severe!”
"This, this, this..."
Beads of sweat almost immediately fell from Chen Wang's forehead.
Su Liuye looked over with a half-smile.
At this point, the argument between the few of them was enough to completely confirm the theft of the prescription!
She wanted to see what else they could come up with at this point!
But what surprised her was that the first person to bow his head was Chen Wang!
Perhaps seeing that there was no hope in sophistry, Chen Wang glanced around, and his eyes suddenly fell on Su Liuye!
Although she didn't speak for such a long time, Su Liuye still had the vigilance she should have.
The first time Chen Wang looked over, she immediately backed away, looking full of vigilance.
As if sensing her vigilance, Chen Wang grinned and suddenly pounced over!
"Shopkeeper Su, it is indeed my fault for buying my son. I kowtow to you, apologize to you, and please give me another chance! I have a mother at home, a wife and children, and such a big Chen's shop. , please give me a way to survive!"
Unfortunately, when Su Liuye took the first step, Chu Yan had already discovered something was wrong in time, and without saying a word, he reached out and took Su Liuye into his arms.
The man was already very strong, and Su Liuye was petite. Chu Yan almost lifted the man up with one hand, and Chen Wang was knocked out of the way on the spot.
At this moment, Chu Yan suddenly turned cold, "With your attitude, you still want a letter of understanding?"
Chu Yan turned to look at the county magistrate, "Please, magistrate, please remember that we are not reconciled! Hu Jinming and Chen Wang must not be leniently spared!"
With one sentence, Chen Wang immediately turned pale, "Shopkeeper Su..."
Unfortunately, Su Liuye turned her head and said, "Sir, they have almost finished their explanation. Can we leave?"
"Su Liuye! How dare you!" Chen Wang finally couldn't hold it in anymore, and his whole face turned red with anger, "If you leave, who will sign this letter of understanding for me?"
"Who told you that I have to sign a letter of understanding?" Su Liuye glanced at Chen Wang mockingly, "You don't think that I came to the Yamen just to punish this little guy Hu Jinming, do you?"
"You...what do you mean?"
Chen Wang's face turned pale, but Su Liuye gave him a meaningful look. After helping Chu Yan stand firm, he turned to salute to the high platform, "Now that the truth of the matter has been revealed, I ask you to enforce the law impartially. You must not take it lightly." Let no one go!”
The county magistrate nodded immediately, "I understand your request."
As he said that, the county magistrate picked up his pen and wrote a few words before raising his head again.
But this time, the county magistrate was looking at Chen Qingqing.
"Chen Qingqing..."
"The folk girl is here!"
"Before I pronounce the sentence, I need to remind you that this incident of selling money is all because of you. Therefore, you also need to bear part of the punishment. Can you accept the punishment?"
Chen Qingqing turned her head, took a deep look at Hu Jinming, and then leaned down again, "A civilian girl pleads guilty!"
"good!"
The county magistrate immediately stroked his beard and nodded, "In this case, I won't be polite!"
"Hu Jinming, you are guilty of selling prescriptions, and the charges are numerous, so I will sentence you to six years in prison! As for Chen Wang, you know clearly that this prescription has a shady origin, but you still intend to make money, and even specially established Yingxian Pavilion. I will sentence you to pay five hundred taels of silver to Shopkeeper Su and jail you for one and a half years!"
As soon as the county magistrate over there finished speaking, Su Liuye suddenly opened his eyes!
Five hundred taels of tattooed silver!
This fine is somewhat outrageous!
As if he had read her thoughts, Chu Yan chuckled in her ear and took the initiative to explain, "According to the law of this dynasty, if you steal unrecorded recipes, the fine will be a hundred taels of silver. If there is a record, the fine will be a hundred taels of silver." Doubling it, it’s not difficult for someone with a large number like you to double it again.”
Su Liuye was so happy that she couldn't even open her eyes with laughter, "That's a good relationship! This trip is not in vain!"
This is five hundred taels of silver!
Not to mention anything else, a large yard with three entrances and three exits can be built!
However, Su Liuye was happy, but Chen Wang collapsed on the ground on the spot, "Five hundred taels... Sir, this is too much. My shop only makes a few hundred taels of profit throughout the year!"
"Sir, please be less, I will never dare to do it again!"
Hu Jinming also begged for mercy in a panic, "After six years in prison, I haven't married and had children. Six years in prison, isn't this going to force me to death? Shopkeeper Su, why don't I know I'm wrong? Please say something nice to the adults, I really don’t dare to do it anymore!”
Unfortunately, Su Liuye didn't even look at them and ignored all the voices.
"Sir, if Mrs. Chen cannot afford the compensation of five hundred taels, is there any other solution at this time?"
The county magistrate pondered for a moment and looked at her tentatively, "Does Shopkeeper Su have any other ideas?"
"I want Yingxian Pavilion!"
