I opened a restaurant in ancient times

Chapter 36

"Bullshit! They're all bullshit!" The woman gestured frantically and kept shouting, "There's no such thing, there's no such thing at all!"

Seeing her irrational nonsense, the master clerk felt a little bit in his heart. Dissatisfied, he picked up the gavel by his hand, "Crack!" With a loud noise, everyone around him fell silent, and even the woman didn't dare to speak. "Don't make any noise in the hall!" The clerk pinched

his brows and continued: "Where are you from? Can you refute this boss's words?"

He turned his head to look at the tall and sturdy yamen around him, and was even more scared for a while.

She already had a ghost in her heart, and what Zhao Heng and Lao Langzhong said just now left her speechless. She saw the master bookkeeper frowning again, with a serious face.

She couldn't help being in a mess, and fell to her knees with a plop: "My lord! I really didn't do it!"

The master looked around at her, and seeing that she seemed to want to say something, he said, "It wasn't you who did it, who did it? Is there something else hidden behind it? Please tell me the truth and listen carefully, if you tell the truth, this official will take it lightly, otherwise this one charge of poisoning others will be enough to keep you in jail for a few years."

"Yes, someone instructed me to do this! I didn't want it, I didn't want it!" The woman was very scared, she was just an ordinary woman, how could she dare to play tricks in front of officials?

The woman thought viciously in her heart, even if she couldn't get the money, she would pull the man in and tell him to take a look at the muddy water.

She lowered her eyelids slightly, not daring to look directly at the official's family. After a while, she said everything she knew: "The woman is the Ma Zhang from Zhilan Town, and the husband is Marin from the East Alley. A few days ago , someone came to me. If you say you want to help him do a good job, give me ten taels of silver."

As soon as these words came out, the people watching the lively around took a breath, what kind of thing is this, and it is worth ten taels of silver?

Although these 12 taels of silver are not sky-high, ordinary people have to work hard to get this money, but I have never seen someone who wants to use so much money to ask someone to do one thing, or a woman.

This daughter-in-law of the Ma family has many feuds with people on weekdays, and few of the neighbors like her. It can be seen that the relationship with the villagers and neighbors is not good. Such a person, what do you ask her to do?

The curiosity of the people around was aroused, and their eyes turned to Ma Zhang, wanting to know the source and cause of this incident, but because the official's house was still sitting in the front seat, no one dared to make a sound.

Ma Zhang continued: "He gave me five taels of silver and a piece of food, and asked me to take it back to Dalang to eat. He said that Dalang would get sick after eating it..." Before he

finished speaking, he was seen The lively people interrupted, and some people said angrily: "Just because of some money, you have to give poisonous food to your own children. Is this still human!"

"That is to say, tiger poison does not eat children, this horse Mrs. Zhang is usually not a person, so who would have thought that she could do such a thing?"

The woman was disgusted when she saw the people she was familiar with on weekdays, and her heart was extremely flustered, for fear that her family's men would find out about it in the future. Beating her, she fell to her knees on the ground, not daring to continue talking.

Seeing that the surroundings were about to become noisy again, the master clerk made another "snap", patted the gavel, and signaled all the villagers to be quiet: "Ma Zhang, you continue to speak."

The master master's attitude made the woman feel a little less An Ding, at least the adults will not let those people beat her. As long as she carefully explains the reason, the adults will definitely not torture her, that's enough.

"He... He said that he knew that Dalang was different from ordinary children. As long as Dalang fell ill, I would go to the food stall to make a fuss, and people would not dare to eat his food. It will give me half of the silver after it is completed."

"So, that person knows what is unusual about Dalang. The purpose is to stir up the business of the yellow food stall, and he gave you five taels of silver before." The master clerk paused and said: "Then Where's the money?" The

woman said, "It's for your husband..."

The chief clerk frowned, the money was stolen money and was to be recorded in the ledger, so Mr. Ma Zhang's guilt would be even greater. , and her husband, who is also responsible, thinking of this, the clerk opened his mouth and called the yamen: "Here!" The

two tall and strong yamen stepped forward and shouted: "Yes!"

"Go to the east alley to take Marin brought it, this official has something to ask."

"Yes!" The two agreed in unison and walked outside.

The clerk is just acting as a director today. He thought it was just an ordinary trivial matter, but he didn't expect it to be so troublesome. He was a person who was afraid of trouble, but it was useless to say anything, so he might as well try the case quickly.

He sighed and re-arranged his thoughts, and said, "Who is the person you're talking about? Do you know him?" The

woman was so frightened when she saw that the lord sent the yamen to her house, she just wanted to quickly confess That person went out from here, and when the officials caught that person, she was not afraid that the person would take revenge on her.

"Your Excellency! The woman made a confession!"

She swallowed her saliva and said loudly, "The man said he was from the Zhilan Restaurant, but he didn't say his name, but the woman recognized his face, so if you meet him in person When you arrive, you will definitely recognize him! My lord, I beg you, please spare the woman this time! This time, I was confused for a while, and I was blinded by the lard, so I begged my lord!"

She lay on the ground and thumped I kowtowed and prayed that the adults would let me go this time: "I beg you to spare the women this time, please, the adults!"

When the master is the most ugly, he fantasizes that others can forgive her, and bystanders are not qualified to forgive others for the victim: "The person you should beg for forgiveness is not me, it should be your boss and the owner of the food stall. ."

If she made a fuss and it really happened, then how would the little boss of this food stall live without this income?

If the elder of her family is seriously ill, he may not even be able to save his life. This can be regarded as poisoning. Fortunately, the child's life is very old, and the medicine prescribed by the old man is now in addition to being weaker. No other ailments.

The woman immediately looked at Dalang: "Dalang, you know, I have always treated you very well, and you have a share of everything at home."

Dalang heard the cause and effect of the matter, and now he has a lot of thoughts about the matter. With his own judgment, he remembered that his aunt and aunt held his hand before he died, and told him that he would still have to rely on himself in the future. When he grew up, he would not be able to stay at the house of his second uncle and second aunt. They also had children at home. I will never treat you as my own.

He remembered the whisper to his mother when his father was still alive, saying that the second uncle and second aunt were very selfish and would not pay much attention to others, including their family, even though his father was the brother of the second uncle.

He didn't believe it before, but after so long, he didn't understand the truth until now, Dalang looked at Ma Zhang in disbelief: "Second Aunt, you touch your conscience and tell me that you are really kind to me. Is it?"

Dalang remembered his days at his second uncle's house, and suddenly understood his father's good intentions, but it was a pity that he didn't understand before that he only woke up after such a thing.

"Second aunt, I still remember that my aunt and aunt entrusted me to you before she died, and you forgot what you said at that time? You said that you treat me as your own child, and I will have whatever rotten eggs have. What about now? Are you going to exchange my life for money?"

There were still red bumps on his face, and he endured the pain in his throat and asked her aloud, "Is that so? I can feed me food that is poisonous to me for ten taels of silver. It's only worth ten taels, right?!" The

woman was distracted by the questioning, and stared blankly at the ten-year-old child, Dalang's eyes were slowly moistening, and she saw Dalang talking to the official family. He knelt down and said, "Sir, I want to separate from my second uncle and second aunt, and I want to establish my own business."

The master looked at the farce in front of him, and then looked at the straight man who was kneeling, and asked him, "Can you think clearly? Now? You are only ten years old, have you figured out how to live in the future?"

Dalang's voice became more and more certain: "Think clearly. When my father and mother died, my second uncle and second aunt told me that I was too young to take care of it. The money in the family is therefore handed over to them for safekeeping. Today, I set up my own business, and everything left by my parents will be returned to me."

"Okay, okay! He's a good boy!" He dared to stand on his own at a young age, and it was not too late to wake up, and he was a good man. He clapped his palms and affirmed Dalang.

Seeing that Dalang was too excited, Zhao Heng hurriedly took a step forward, patted him on the back, and motioned him to calm down: "Are you alright?

" It 's alright."

The clerk said, "Someone! Go and invite the shopkeeper of Zhilan Restaurant, and ask him to bring all the staff in the restaurant, and let Ma Zhang recognize it."

Two more yamen took the order and left. As soon as the two of them went out, it didn't take long before everyone saw that the previous yamen came with the husband of the Ma Zhang family, that is, Ma Lin.

"Pfft!" With a sound, Marin knelt down: "Sir! What happened to the grass people?"

God knows that he was lying on the bed at home after drinking, and in a daze, he saw two big men breaking into his house, and he was instantly frightened. Sober, for fear that he met a thief who was robbing his house.

Only after heaving a sigh of relief, he saw the yamen costumes on the two tall and strong men, and his heart rose to his throat for a moment. Could it be that he committed a crime when he was drunk?

It wasn't until I listened to the chat of two yamen on the road that I knew what happened. The woman in the family actually did this kind of thing behind his back, and almost killed her life!

Although he is a bastard, he has never done anything serious, and he spends all day betting except drinking and gambling, but he never dares to kill anyone. This is a matter of beheading. ?

As soon as he saw his mother-in-law, he rushed forward and slapped her twice in the face: "You stupid mother-in-law! Are you trying to kill me!"

Malin was angry, so the two slaps used With enough strength, Ma Zhang was dizzy from the two blows, and stood up staggeringly: "It's not you! It's because you don't make money all day, so I can only sell on the street as a woman. Vegetables subsidize the family, if not, where did you get the money to drink? Where did you get the money to support the family?!"
