Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sound is very dull and not loud.
At Caishikou in Qingyuan City, two prison officials were waving their sticks vigorously and performing duties.
The person who received the cane was a middle-aged shopkeeper in his forties. His clothes were lifted, his trousers were taken off, and his buttocks and back were bloody. He was so embarrassed and angry that he fainted after being caned for more than ten times.
.
In addition to the two officials from the Criminal Division, there were also several officials wearing the official uniforms of the Criminal Division and Household Division officials present.
A few days ago, the young man who was drinking in a boat on the lake in the north of the city was among them. He was wearing the official uniform of an eighth-grade prosecutor of the Husi Cong.
Among his two other friends that day, there was also a young man with a round face and squinting eyes. He was wearing the uniform of a tax officer of the ninth grade of Husizheng. At this moment, facing such a cane punishment, his face was calm, but there was a hidden emotion in his eyes.
Showing some pride.
According to the laws of Yunqin, if the goods in the shop are adulterated, shoddy, etc., the household department and the criminal department can agree on the fines and punishments according to the severity. If the circumstances are not serious, they will not be imprisoned, but will be caned in public at the market entrance.
Serve as a warning to others.
Today, the punishment is only twenty, so the punishment is not serious, but the person who is being punished is Shi San, the shopkeeper of Da Dexiang's Mihang in Qingyuan City.
The reason for being punished in public was that more than ten households that consumed Dadexiang white rice all suffered from abdominal pain, watery diarrhea and other discomforts. After examining the remaining rice, they found some fine white powder in it that was too white. These fine white powder were often
After verification, it was Guanyin White Stone Powder from the South!
This kind of white stone powder only needs to be added in a very small amount when grinding rice noodles to make the ground rice noodles very white. However, because it is not good for the human body, its use is strictly prohibited in Yunqin. Only those unscrupulous traders who take risks will do it.
Some old mold is added to rice and wheat to pass it off as good and make huge profits.
Driven by profit, things like this may happen every day in large and small market towns in Yunqin, but because it happened to Da Dexiang this time, it was particularly shocking.
The seventeen jointly-operated businesses were already in decline and were unable to stop the great momentum of Dexiang. Shopkeeper Zhang Da of Tianfeng Jade and Pearl Shop had indeed lost a lot of weight as Sheng Manying said. As soon as the news came out, it caused a sensation.
At the same time as everyone was trading, all the shopkeepers of these seventeen joint ventures were suddenly ecstatic, seeing the dazzling light of reversal in the darkness.
Therefore, when the decision was to be executed at this time, all the shopkeepers from the seventeen associated firms who could be rushed over also rushed over.
People from some well-known nearby businesses also gathered here.
Because everyone has learned the news, Da Dexiang's mysterious shopkeeper is on his way here because he has doubts and dissatisfaction with the case.
All these people in the business world also know that Da Dexiang's most important person will definitely come, because this will be the most serious crisis for Da Dexiang.
Among the dozens of carriages parked on the carriage field outside Caishikou, Wu Qiutian, the shopkeeper of Da Shenggao in charge of Qixia and Guangyu provinces, was also waiting anxiously in one of the carriages.
While he was waiting anxiously, Lin Xi and Chen Feirong's carriage had already passed the gate of Qingyuan City and was not far from Caishikou.
When Lin Xi arrived in Dafu Town, Qingluan College did not interfere in anything, nor did it give Lin Xi a new identity to hide her true identity. Because the more the college cut off contact with Lin Xi, the more it left Lin Xi behind.
In the human world that is isolated from the world of practitioners, no one will notice Lin Xi.
Who would pay attention to an ordinary boy in a business?
Lin Xi is now using the identity of a boy in a trading company. As Chen Feirong's attendant, he passed the interrogation at the city gate without any accident and entered Qingyuan City.
Because he has many more years of business acumen and forward-thinking awareness than anyone else in this world, Lin Xi knows better than anyone else that this is a huge crisis for Da Dexiang, who has just gained a foothold. But this crisis is too late.
Too simple and straightforward... This must have nothing to do with Da Dexiang. Under Lin Xi's indoctrination, when Da Dexiang entered the rice noodle business, he already had the awareness that quality is king and that after-sales service is unparalleled in this world.
.At least in the next year, Da Dexiang only completed some layouts, and did not think about making huge profits from the rice and noodle business. Da Dexiang’s rice was all from Linchuan, Xiangshui and other industries.
The province purchased the best rice of the season such as "Crab Shell Yellow" and "Lishui Xiang". After the incident happened, Dashenggao also cooperated with the self-examination. There were no problems at all in the shipping process, and there was no use by the shop assistants.
The situation of replacing poor rice with good rice.
It was precisely because it had nothing to do with Da Dexiang but someone else's conspiracy that Lin Xicai decided to accompany Chen Feirong to come here to deal with the matter.
Is it the seventeen associated trading firms, or is there someone else who wants to cut into Da Dexiang's flesh?
Lin Xi didn't think much about this issue. For him, no matter who used such dark means to interfere in his battle in the human world, he would fight back with more decisive means and make him pay.
A heavy price to pay.
…
"coming!"
There was a sudden commotion among the crowd gathered at Caishikou. Many people in the carriages staying on the horse racing platform at Caishikou were shocked at the same time.
Regardless of being reserved or covering up, Wu Qiutian, the shopkeeper of Dasheng and Gao Provinces, immediately opened the curtain of the carriage, got out of the carriage, and walked towards the place where the crowd parted.
During this period of watching the excitement, people who did not know the inside story also knew that the person coming must be the shopkeeper of Da Dexiang. For a time, both the people who were avoiding the luxurious carriage with the words Da Dexiang and the countless people who were stretching out
The people who craned their necks to look out were extremely excited, thinking that they would finally be lucky enough to see the legendary great shopkeeper.
A tsunami-like exclamation and admiration sounded from the crowd, spreading like a shock wave.
Chen Feirong stepped out of the carriage and met Wu Qiutian, who was wearing a gray leather jacket and a weasel fur hat that only wealthy businessmen in Shanin liked to wear.
No one noticed the attendants behind her, everyone's eyes were attracted to her.
She was still only wearing the red jacket with white fur edges, and her black hair was simply stuck up with a white jade hairpin, but her figure, her beauty and her dignified demeanor, as well as her previous mystery and
The superposition of fame made her shine like never before.
Zhang Lingyun, who was wearing the official uniform of the eighth rank of Husi, looked at the beautiful woman from a distance as soon as she stepped out of the carriage, as if she had taken away all the beauty in the world. Amidst the tsunami-like exclamations, the corner of his mouth
He showed a meaningful smile.
This mysterious big shopkeeper of Da Dexiang did not disappoint him.
For a person like him, what stimulates his desire the most is no longer a woman's figure and appearance, but the woman's identity and status.
This is a large business that has just emerged, and there are no powerful people in the court to back it up. Although his official rank is low, he has a huge backing... That's why he dares to do such a thing, so in his opinion, at this moment
This incomparably beautiful shopkeeper, Da Dexiang, is just a white sheep.
"The great shopkeeper of Da Dexiang is actually such a young woman!"
"Those rumors are not wrong at all... Da Dexiang's big shopkeeper is so beautiful."
"The decisions she made before can be said to be extremely genius, but now that something like this has happened to Da Dexiang, I'm afraid..."
“…”
Because of the tsunami-like commotion when Chen Feirong appeared, because of the countless buzzing discussions that suddenly intensified around him, Shi San, the shopkeeper of Dade Xiang Qingyuan Branch who had passed out due to shame and anger, woke up leisurely. He saw the person heading towards him.
Chen Feirong is coming.
He realized that this was the shopkeeper that he admired and admired the most!
Seeing the person he admired most with his own eyes...and thinking about what happened to him, his whole body trembled violently for a moment, and he tried to hold himself up.
Chen Feirong had a thin blanket on her arm.
Facing the gaze of the tortured shopkeeper, she just made the simplest move, reaching out to put her hand on his shoulders to stop him from getting up, and gently covered his exposed skin with a thin blanket.
"I'm still a little late."
She apologized softly in the shopkeeper's ear.
The simplest actions and sentences, but at this moment, in full view of everyone, being done by a big shopkeeper like her, are extremely shocking.
For a moment, people from other businesses among the many carriages on the chariot and horse terrace also trembled slightly in their hearts.
During the previous torture, Shi San fainted with shame and anger, but did not howl and cry. But seeing her like this now, his eyes were suddenly filled with tears of humiliation.
Lin Xi, who did not attract anyone's attention, quietly looked at the shopkeeper of Da Dexiang, and at the government servants and officials opposite Chen Feirong. His brows frowned slightly, but he felt that this atmosphere was a bit familiar...
And it made his heart even more unhappy.
"My lords, there are many doubts about this matter, and they have not yet been cleared up. Why is it that the case has been finalized and that I, the great Dexiang, have been tortured?"
Chen Feirong didn't say too much, she just patted Shi San's shoulder gently, looked at the official in front of her calmly, and spoke in a clear voice.
Faced with her calm questioning, Zhang Lingyun nodded calmly and said: "Those white rice came from Dadexiang, and a pack of Guanyin white stone powder was found in Dadexiang's branch. The evidence is conclusive. Just because the plot is not important,
, that’s why it was treated so lightly. I wonder why Shopkeeper Chen feels that the case is still unclear?”
Hearing what the young Husi official said, some people who came to watch the excitement sighed in their hearts, thinking that this was indeed irrefutable evidence. How could this beautiful female shopkeeper solve the case?
However, facing this sentence, Chen Feirong just smiled slightly and said more calmly: "My lords, if it is really me, Da Dexiang, who uses this Guanyin White Stone Powder, it will be available at more than a dozen rice mills. It must be at least that day
Is it included in all the thousands of kilograms of white rice delivered? Otherwise, is it because we, Dadexiang, are so full that we deliberately harass those dozens of households? Also, all the rice and noodles delivered by Dadexiang in Qingyuan City are
It comes from my Dadexiang water mill in the south of the city. It is not shipped from other places. There is no warehouse in our Dadexiang branch. All the white rice and flour are delivered directly from the water mill. There is even evidence of that day.
Check. Even if I, Da Dexiang, want to use Guanyin white stone powder, I won’t put it in the shop, but also in the water mill, right? When I want to use it, our shopkeeper will run over with it in his arms and use it.
Are you going to run back after you're done?"
"I, the Great Dexiang, still have a large amount of unground rice in the water mill. Whether it is moldy or rotten, you can tell at a glance. Is it good rice? Do I, the Great Dexiang, still want to add these unnecessary things to it?"
After saying a few words with a smile, Chen Feirong looked at Zhang Lingyun and several other officials, and then said: "According to my investigation, those dozen or so houses usually have few people at home, and it is easy for people to drop things.
In the rice vat. As for the Guanyin White Stone Powder found in my Da Dexiang’s shop, the location was in the utility room of the back room. For normal people, such things need to be carefully concealed, even if they are hidden in the shop.
, at least it should be hidden in a place where no outsiders would normally enter, not in an ordinary utility room, right?"
As soon as Chen Feirong finished asking three questions in a row, the entire Caishikou area fell silent, and everyone's eyes were already focused on Zhang Lingyun and other officials to see how they would answer.
