Chapter 425 Is it their fault that they look like this evil person?
Author: Wen Qing
The sunny sky had sunk down at some point, and gray clouds were gathering. The pressure on people became heavier and heavier.
In the study room, the sound of porcelain falling to the floor was heard. Shopkeeper Cheng, whose head was smashed and bleeding, did not dare to moan in pain.
The embroidery workshop has not made a profit for many days. Who of the hired servants, embroiderers, etc. do not need money? The total loss is really huge. The already precarious reputation has also declined crazily. It is the embroidery products that the embroidery workshop sends to various places for sale. Sales also stagnated.
Old customers have gone elsewhere.
In the past few days, people have even come to my door and shouted for a refund.
Li San and those people are really insidious!
All the customers who came to the door were forced to leave, but those who came to return goods were let in.
The business was already declining, and someone was causing trouble, which made it particularly conspicuous. Over time, more and more people returned their money.
Needless to say, this matter has nothing to do with Shen Hua. She has just returned to Fengzhou! She is causing trouble again! It will make everyone uneasy!
The Shen family is rich and good, but if it continues like this, sooner or later the family will be empty out.
Shopkeeper Cheng knelt on the ground, his back became curved, but he still responded respectfully.
"I'm so incompetent that the paper I sent to the Yamen was sent back."
Shen Qu asked coldly: "Why?"
He spent a lot of money to clear the situation. The state magistrate Zhu Zheng also helped. Yesterday, he even invited many Fengzhou officials to drink.
Although Magistrate Liu did not come, he had to handle the complaint despite the pressure!
In this world, as long as you have money, there is nothing you can't do. You can put Li San and others in jail at the moment, and frustrate Shen Huarui and teach her how to be a good person, but something happened.
Shopkeeper Cheng said: "County Officer Liu fell ill, and for some reason the case ended up in the hands of Prefect Wang."
As he spoke, he glanced at the dark-faced Shen Qu with lingering fear, and quickly lowered his head, not daring to look.
When it came to the court, Shen Qu should have come forward and testified in person, but Shen Qu wanted to save face and felt that the matter had been settled, so Shopkeeper Cheng went there.
Who would have thought that something would go wrong along the way.
Shopkeeper Cheng's eyes darkened when he thought of what happened in court.
At that time, Magistrate Wang was sitting in the high hall, wearing a fourth-grade official uniform and an official hat on his head, majestically taking people to the hall to examine the case. Eight government officials stood on both sides, holding water and fire sticks.
The people who caused the trouble all knelt on the ground. They changed from the reluctance they had shown in the embroidery workshop and refused to admit that they were bribed and instigated by Shen Hua.
——"The embroidery produced by Shenjia Embroidery Shop is of poor quality, and we spent a lot of money unnecessarily. The shop is bullying customers, and I beg you to make the decision."
Among them, the woman who was having the most fun was crying.
——"My family is not rich, so I gritted my teeth and took out all the coffin boards and spent twenty taels to buy a silk bellyband for my premature and sick golden grandson. Ha! The Shen Family Embroidery Workshop was bragging about it outside. How about that bellyband? How good is it? It is said that it is embroidered with the small characters "Vajra Gold" and can bring peace to babies."
——"A commoner woman is usually reluctant to eat or wear herself. She knows little and is illiterate, but she always wants to leave the best to her golden grandson. But the embroidery shop deceives me into just a vulgar old woman who has never seen gold or precious objects. , the baby bellyband sold to me was not silk. At first, I didn’t believe it. The Shen Family Embroidery Workshop wouldn’t do such a dirty job. But after all, it was not cheap. It was enough for ordinary people to spend several years. So I looked for it shamelessly. Went to Zhou's embroidery workshop. Mr. Zhou only took one look and said, this is not silk, but a smoother material. A layman can easily mistake the fake for the real thing. If we talk about the price, it is seventy or eighty percent lower than silk!"
——"This is the embroidery I bought. The peasant woman brought it. You can ask someone to identify it. Such a big embroidery studio is shameless now! The peasant woman asked for a refund, which is correct! I didn't let the embroidery studio
Paying me more silver is already polite enough! They have the nerve to sue me with their eyes open? Bah! What the hell!"
As soon as he finished speaking, shopkeeper Cheng was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat on his back. Yes, this woman had previously asked for repayment, and there were too many onlookers outside. If he nodded, wouldn't he admit that the embroidery shop was shoddy?
How to make it?
There was no chance for him to breathe for a moment. Someone quickly made a sound soon after.
——"The pair I bought cost fifty taels, and I paid a deposit of ten taels early. I had set a time to pick it up, but the embroidery shop kept delaying it for more than a month. Every time I asked, I got
All the words are "still working hard."
——"At this moment, I didn't even see the little one. Is it really so busy? The embroidery shop has no business recently! However, the goods sent to Shengjing Juchao Pavilion are in piles. It costs my money.
If it falls into their pocket, it becomes theirs?"
Accusing voices followed one after another.
The more he listened, the colder his body became.
Shopkeeper Cheng knew that this was indeed the fault of the embroidery workshop.
Rather than saying it was a mistake, it would be better to say that it was Shen Qu's laissez-faire behavior.
Shen Qu is so ambitious and only looks at immediate interests. How can he take a long-term view?
Especially when Shen Hua exposed the scandal of the Shen family and made it public, Shen Qu's temper became more and more impatient.
What happened to the shop bully?
He now has beneficial relationships with many officials in Fengzhou. The common people who have no power and power are like ants. They can only swallow their blood.
For this reason, shopkeeper Cheng was uneasy and felt it was inappropriate. He once euphemistically mentioned that reputation is the most important thing for the embroidery shop. But Shen Qu was wary of him and hated him. How could he listen to a word?
He desperately wanted to make Shen Hua unable to eat and carry her around.
Therefore, regardless of whether or not, the matter of reporting to the official came up, and the calculations were made, but never thought that the prefect Wang would reach out.
And Li San is a bastard who can turn black into white. He made a "bang" sound like a big opera and kowtowed to Magistrate Wang.
——"Sir, the brothers behind Cao Min are a bit more evil-looking, but their bodies and skin are affected by their parents. Is it their fault that they have grown into such villains?"
——"We are idle, but we also abide by the law. Fengzhou is not an arrogant place under the jurisdiction of adults. But this shopkeeper casually slandered us and ruined his shop's business."
Li San salivated.
——"We brothers just like to wander back and forth on the street. What's wrong? Our legs are getting in the way of him? Should we cut them off and give them to him? Or should we say that the land on the street belongs to the Shen family? Wait a minute
Is it possible that I still have to pay taxes?”
——"How ridiculous! Does the business of his shop still need to be ruined by a small one?"
Magistrate Wang was supposed to be relieved that his son had just returned home, and now that Brother Xu was back, his wife's mental illness would be cured.
At this moment, his lips were pursed into a tight line. Seeing all the witnesses and evidence, and seeing his people so aggrieved! I just felt that Shen Qu was simply lawless!
You did this kind of thing and you still didn’t show up!
It can be seen that there is no mistake at all!
He was furious about this.
Shopkeeper Cheng didn't dare to look at Shen Qu anymore. His voice became lower and lower.
"The prefect ordered that buyers of defective embroidery products should go to the Yamen to register, and ordered the young master to apologize one by one outside the embroidery workshop to show his fault, and to pay back the full amount of money."
