The Culinary Tycoon

Shi Sheng?

When Jia Xiaoren heard this, he was stunned, he frowned and looked at his father, who secretly nodded to him.

What does dad mean to push all of them to Sheng'er?

Jia Xiaoren turned around in a daze, feeling a little tangled in his heart.Although Shi Sheng is only his little husband, but he is pregnant with his own child in his stomach, if all of them are pushed on him, what will happen to the child...

"Shi Sheng?" Luo Mingda frowned and asked, "What's going on? Tell the truth!"

The young man named Wu Shun replied: "It was Fulang Sheng who wrote a note to send the letter back to Qingzhou, and then Niu San came over. The eldest and young master didn't know about this matter. The villain didn't know about Fufu Sheng at first." Lang asked Niu San to come and do something, until the day before yesterday when something happened in Jufu Building, the elder and younger master sent someone to the yamen to have a look. The villain saw Niu San kneeling in the courtroom, and immediately ran back to the restaurant to report to the elder and younger master .”

"When the young master heard about this, he guessed that it might have something to do with Sheng Fulang, because Sheng Fulang and Mrs. Yu Qingze, the boss of Jufulou, seemed to have some personal grievances, and he had always disliked Mrs. Yu Qingze. And Sheng Fulang is now pregnant. In the body, the young master was afraid that his mood would be affected and it would be bad for the child in his stomach, so he didn't resist when the yamen servants came to arrest him. Our young master didn't know it at all, he was completely afraid of affecting Mr. Sheng The body, I want to bear it with my own strength."

After finishing this long speech, the servant said to Jia Xiaoren again: "Eldest young master, this is the end of the matter, you don't want to hurt yourself for Mrs. Sheng anymore."

"Stop talking!" Jia Xiaoren gritted his teeth, his masseter muscles bulged, his head was lowered, his fists were clenched tightly, as if he was forcibly holding back something.

Yu Qingze glanced at him and sneered in his heart.

This guy spoke like a flower, talking about Jia Xiaoren's affection and righteousness, the love between husband and wife, it's all nonsense, at the critical moment, it's not like he used it as a scapegoat.

Pooh!

Just not a man!

In the current situation, if they let Shi Sheng blame Shi Sheng, wouldn't Jia Xiaoren still get away with it?

Yu Qingze couldn't help frowning.

Over there, Luo Mingda asked again: "Do you have any evidence?"

Wu Shun nodded, and said: "Yes. I went back to Qingzhou before, and when I went to another hospital, I found a note in Niu San's room. I was afraid that someone would find it, so I put it away. Here, this is this one, called The note from Niu San to Tongshan was written by Sheng Fulang."

While speaking, Wu Shun took out a rolled up note from his arms.

The servant next to him stepped forward to take it, and presented it to Luo Mingda.

Luo Mingda unfolded the note and read it, then asked the master to read it, and then ordered: "Come on, go and bring Shi Sheng."

Four yamen servants took orders to go.

This miraculous turning point stunned the onlookers outside the courtroom.

"I've been doing it for a long time. Is it for the little husband to take the blame?"

"Who knows? What kind of a good person can he be to raise a dozen or so gangsters in other courtyards?"

"That's right, keep reading, maybe the result will surprise us?"

"..."

While waiting for the yamen servant to bring Shi Sheng back, Luo Mingda went to the back of the county yamen with several other adults to discuss for a while.

After returning, Luo Mingda asked Niu San to send the note to confirm whether it was the one he had received.

Niu San nodded.

After what happened just now, he already knew the plans of the Jia family and his son, and if he wanted to save his life, he had better cooperate with them.

Seeing that Niu San confirmed it, Luo Mingda ordered someone to give Jia Xiaoren a pen and paper, and asked him to write a few words, and then compared it with the handwriting on the note.

It's really not the same.

In a house in the east of the city, Shi Sheng was sitting in the room warming up the fire, frowning, staring at a place in a daze.

Niu San and Jia Xiaoren have been arrested and imprisoned because of Niu San drugging these few days. Jia Xiaoren's father and cousin have both come over, but they didn't get him out immediately, which shows that things are not easy to handle. .

The whole family went to the county government this afternoon. He was lethargic because of pregnancy, and no one called him. When he got up, the whole family was left with him, two children, and a few servants.

After a while, the servant ran in and said in a panic, "Sheng Fulang, it's not good, it's not good!"

Shi Sheng was taken aback, and immediately reprimanded: "What are you doing, you're in a panic, scare me."

"I'm sorry Sheng Fulang, but it's really not good." The young man said out of breath after running fast.

"What's wrong?"

"Someone is coming from the yamen."

"What?! Who's here? What are you here for?" Shi Sheng sat up straight from his chair and asked.

Before the boy could answer, a man's voice came from outside the door.

"The person in the house is Jia Xiaoren's little husband, Shi Sheng?"

Shi Sheng stood up, and mouthed to ask who the servant was?

The boy also mouthed to tell him that he was a government servant.

He quickly waved his hand, motioning for the boy to reply that he was not there.

The boy nodded, then coughed lightly, went out and said, "Masters, my Mrs. Sheng has gone shopping and hasn't come back yet. Do you have anything to do with him?"

The leading yamen servant was Ding Lai, he glanced at the young man, then waved his hand to the back and said, "Go in and have a look."

The two yamen servants at the back walked towards the house, and the boy was so frightened that he hurriedly shouted: "Hey, this is my brother's room, how can you go in casually!"

But with his strength, he couldn't catch the yamen servant.Shi Sheng inside the house heard the cry, and hurriedly looked around for a hiding place, and finally had no choice but to hide in a box.

The two yamen servants looked around inside and reported to Ding Lai.

Ding Lai frowned, just now they saw this young man come in in a panic, he went in himself and said, "Search."

The four yamen servants quickly pulled out Shi Sheng who was hiding in the box.

"What are you doing? What my husband did has nothing to do with me. What are you arresting me for? Besides, let me tell you, I am pregnant. If something happens to my child, can you be responsible?" Shi Sheng yelled, struggling not to let the servants catch him.

"I'm ordered to come and take you back to the county government office for questioning. Please cooperate." Ding said a word, but Shi Sheng couldn't listen, and kept struggling. Ding Lai simply grabbed him with a few government officials His limbs lifted him up.

"Ahhh, let me down, let me down!" Shi Sheng shouted.

Ding Lai and the others ignored him and carried him directly to the county government office.

When he arrived at the court, Shi Sheng was ordered by Luo Mingda to write on a piece of paper before he could figure out the situation.

"Husband, what's going on?" Shi Sheng looked at the pen and paper, didn't move, but turned to ask Jia Xiaoren.

Jia Xiaoren's eyes flashed, he opened his mouth, and finally said: "...let's write."

Shi Sheng's heart sank, and he wrote according to the above content with shaking hands.

After finishing writing, the yamen servant showed the paper to Luo Mingda, and Luo Mingda gave it to the teacher to identify the handwriting, then he pointed to Niu San and asked Shi Sheng, "Shi Sheng, do you know this person?"

Shi Sheng glanced at Niu San, then at Jia Xiaoren, knowing something was wrong, so he shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Luo Mingda expected him to answer this way, so he said: "In the early morning of the day before yesterday, there was an incident of drugging in Jufulou. The person who administered the drug was caught by the owner of Jufulou, Yu Qingze, and his assistants. The person who administered the drug was this person. , Niu San. Now, Wu Shun, Jia Xiaoren’s personal servant, has identified you as the mastermind who ordered Niu San to drug you. What’s your explanation for this?”

Hearing this, Shi Sheng turned his head to look at Wu Shun in disbelief, then at Jia's father, then at Jia Xiaoren, none of the three dared to look at him.

His heart was chilled, and he finally understood that they were pushing everything on him.

No wonder they dare not look at themselves anymore!

Shi Sheng put one hand on his abdomen, snorted coldly, and said in his heart: Son, look, your father, your grandfather, is such a person!

Seeing that he didn't speak, Luo Mingda asked again, "Shi Sheng, quickly answer the question I just asked."

As soon as Shi Sheng raised his head, his eyes turned cold. He replied: "My lord, I didn't order Niu San to administer the medicine. I didn't do it."

Luo Mingda: "But you wrote the note to Niu San. Your handwriting is exactly the same as the handwriting on the Feige letter that Niu San received."

Shi Sheng paused, then said, "What note? I don't know."

Luo Mingda asked someone to show Shi Sheng the note.

Shi Sheng frowned, and replied: "This note was indeed written by me. It only said five words 'Come to Tongshan soon——Jia'. It didn't say to ask him to prescribe medicine. This does not prove that I am the mastermind."

Luo Mingda raised his eyebrows, this Shi Sheng is quite active.

He turned to Niu San and said, "Niu San, tell me, who sent you to administer the medicine?"

Niu San looked back and said, "It's Fulang Sheng." Since the Jia family and his son had decided to push Shi Sheng, he took advantage of the trend.

Shi Sheng sneered, and said: "Niu San, you don't even recognize who is your master? Can I call you?"

Niu San didn't answer.

Luo Mingda watched them tearing up from above, very excited, wishing they would tear up a little more, shake out more things, then he would be able to handle it easily.

Shi Sheng said to Luo Mingda again: "My lord, Niu San is my husband—that is, Jia Xiaoren, who was raised to help him deal with some things that he can't handle on the surface. There are more than a dozen such people, and they just obey orders." As far as he is concerned, other people cannot call him. The reason why the note can call Niu San is because there is a special crow feather in it, which is their "sign". Ling Yu, that note is written in Jia Xiaoren's own handwriting, and Niu San will never come to Tongshan. Only Jia Xiaoren can command Niu San and those people."

"Sheng'er! You..." Jia Xiaoren turned his head and stared at Shi Sheng, unexpectedly he would even say this.

"I'm still pregnant with your child, and you actually want to blame me for everything? Hmph, you are the one who is unkind first, so don't blame me for being unrighteous." Shi Sheng glanced at him coldly, then turned his head.

Hearing this, Jia Xiaoren seemed to be strangled by the neck, and couldn't speak anymore.

Seeing that they were silent, Luo Mingda said again: "Shi Sheng, I can't find the special crow feathers. Niu San also admitted that you are the mastermind. What evidence do you have to prove that you are not? Jia Xiaoren is the one?"

Shi Sheng replied: "That group of people has been raising them for several years. Didn't they help Jia Xiaoren knock down many restaurants in Qingzhou before? Drugging, threatening, kidnapping, what have you done? Didn't you force two people to death? ? You can check it out and you will know? Besides, I only met Jia Xiaoren this year, could it be that I ordered Niu San to do the things before?"

When everyone heard this, they were in an uproar.

When these words came out of Shi Sheng's mouth, the credibility was more convincing and impactful than what Cao Yuan said before.After all, he is Jia Xiaoren's bedside person, so he naturally knows more things.

Amidst the discussions among the onlookers, a person suddenly shouted.

"Lie! Shi Sheng, you are lying! Husband came to Tongshan to start a new life. It was you, Shi Sheng, who had a personal grievance with Yu Qingze, and urged him to avenge you!"

Ouch, there is another person!

Luo Mingda frowned and shouted loudly: "Who is it! Come forward and answer!"

Among the crowd, Jia Fulang stepped out.

Father Jia and Jia Xiaoren looked at Jia Fulang, winked at him, and told him to go back, but Jia Fulang gritted his teeth and stepped into the court.

He entered the court, knelt down and saluted, and said: "Caomin Jia Lin, Jia Xiaoren is my husband. Caomin has something to tell your lord."

Luo Mingda said: "What's the matter? Tell me."

Jia Fulang said: "My lord, my husband and I came to Tongshan in November last year, and we have been doing business peacefully. Later, after my husband married Shi Sheng and became a young husband, he often seduced my husband because of his youth and good looks. The purpose of always instigating Husband to fight Yu Ji is to avenge himself."

Luo Mingda asked curiously: "What kind of revenge?"

Jia Fulang replied: "He has personal grievances with Mrs. Yu Qingze."

"Lin Lian, you are talking nonsense!" Shi Sheng heard Jia Fulang's words, and hurriedly shouted: "My lord, don't listen to him, he is just jealous that I stole my husband's favor when I was young, and took revenge on me!"

But Luo Mingda was obviously very curious, he asked: "What personal grievances?"

Jia Fulang gritted his teeth and glanced at Shi Sheng, and then said: "Shi Sheng, he is originally the concubine of the Shi family in Tongshan City. A year ago, his family told him about a marriage with the second young master of the Zeng family in the same city. But that The second young master of the Zeng family is said to have been in poor health since he was a child, and he still..."

Luo Mingda raised his eyebrows and asked, "What else?"

Jia Fulang closed his eyes, his face turned red, and he said, "There is still a hidden disease."

Hidden disease?

Seeing Jia Fulang's face, everyone in the hall probably guessed what the hidden disease was, and the expressions on their faces were very exciting and varied.

Luo Mingda was also faintly excited as if drinking chicken blood, and he asked again: "Then, what does this have to do with Yu Qingze?" As he spoke, he also glanced at Yu Qingze.

Yu Qingze: ...has nothing to do with me!

Jia Fulang continued: "Shi Sheng didn't want to marry the second young master of the Zeng family, he just wanted to find someone better than the second young master of the Zeng family, and wanted his family to quit the engagement, and then he fell in love with Yu Ji's snack shop. The boss, Yu Qingze. But Yu Qingze already has a fiancé, so he rejected him. He also publicly showed his love to Yu Qingze in North Street and snack bars, but Yu Qingze rejected them all."

"Later, the Shi family found out about this matter, and the Shi family grounded him. Once he escaped and went to a snack bar for help, but Yu Qingze's husband and a buddy ignored him and called the person from the Shi family who came to look for him. came over and took him back, so he held a grudge."

Jia Xiaoren didn't even know about this, he looked at Shi Sheng in shock.

After the previous scandal was brought out like this, Shi Sheng shouted: "Lin Lian, if you talk nonsense again, believe it or not, I will tear your mouth apart!"

After speaking, he got up and walked towards Jia Fulang.

"Catch him." Luo Mingda yelled, and immediately a yamen servant came over and held Shi Sheng down, and tied a cloth strip around his mouth to prevent him from making a sound.

Luo Mingda said: "Mr. Jia Lin, continue talking."

Jia Fulang pursed his lips, and continued: "Later he married into the Zeng family. According to him, the second young master of the Zeng family is in a wheelchair. , and asked him to serve with his hands and mouth. If he refused, the second young master of the Zeng family would beat him until he was willing."

Speaking of this, Jia Fulang's entire face and neck turned red.

When everyone heard this, the second young master of the Zeng family was really inhumane?

This news is too shocking!What a big gossip!

They even pricked up their ears, listening with gusto.

"How do you know about this?" Luo Mingda asked suspiciously.Such a private and embarrassing thing, no brother should tell others, right?

Jia Fulang replied: "In April of this year, Shi Sheng was divorced by the second young master of the Zeng family and sent back to the Shi family. The Shi family despised him and shamed him, so they locked him up at home. Unwilling, he escaped again. , and then I happened to meet him. It was raining that day, and I saw one of his brothers being drenched like that, and people from the Shi family were looking for him again. He lied to me that his family was going to sell him to a brothel. I took pity on him and took him home."

Speaking of this, Jia Fulang's mood suddenly became depressed, and his voice became much softer, saying: "In order to win my trust, he pretended to be pitiful and sympathetic, and told me everything about him. Who knows, I lured a wolf into the house and brought a vixen back home. Seeing that my family was in a good position, he tried every means to seduce my husband. Later, my husband was seduced by him and had a relationship with him, so he married him as a young husband. "

"And then?" Lominda asked.

Jia Fulang continued: "Since I married him, my husband has been fascinated by him. He often said in my husband's ear that Yu Ji has affected the business of Xiangmanyuan, and urged my husband to deal with Yu Ji. I have heard a lot. When I passed by the study a few days ago, I heard him say to Niu San, "If you want to drink more, what's the use of such a little croton powder?" So, my lord, the person who ordered Niu San is Shi Sheng!"

Luo Mingda asked: "Are you sure that what you said just now was said by Shi Sheng?"

Jia Fulang nodded and said, "Sure."

"Okay." Luo Mingda said to the servant who was holding Shi Sheng: "Let him go."

The yamen servant released Shi Sheng as he said.

Shi Sheng stared at Jia Fulang viciously, and said with a sneer, "Lin Lian, you bitch, you will die badly."

Jia Fulang didn't look at him, but silently looked at the floor in front of him, without answering.

Luo Mingda asked Shi Sheng, "Shi Sheng, what is your explanation for Lin Lian's words just now?"

Shi Sheng said coldly: "Niu San and I are not the only ones in the study, Jia Xiaoren is also there. It was Jia Xiaoren who asked Niu San to take the medicine powder, and Jia Xiaoren gave the medicine powder to Niu San. I just said that one sentence during the whole process, and I still He heard it."

Luo Mingda said: "Jia Xiaoren, is there such a thing?"

Jia Xiaoren denied it categorically, saying: "There is absolutely no such thing, I didn't know Niu San arrived in Tongshan."

Shi Sheng snorted coldly, and said: "Lord Luo, in order to motivate Niu San in advance, Jia Xiaoren took Niu San to the Wangchun Tower in the city to be happy a few nights ago. Niu San spent the night there, my lord can send someone Go ask."

When Luo Mingda heard this, he sent the servants to ask the old bustard and another brother in Wangchun Tower to ask questions one by one, and confirmed that Niu San was brought by Jia Xiaoren, and that little brother was the one that night The little brother who spent the night with Niu San.

At this point in the trial of the case, the facts are clear.

After discussing with several adults, Luo Mingda returned to the public case, slapped the gavel, and said: "The case of Yu Qingze suing Jia Xiaoren for instigating Niu San to infiltrate the Jufu Building to deliver medicine and intentionally murder for personal gain is now under trial in this court. It is true, the behavior is bad, Jia Xiaoren is the mastermind, Shi Sheng is the accomplice, according to the law of Dasheng, now the judge sentenced Niu San to exile for [-] miles, with a stick of [-], the mastermind Jia Xiaoren was exiled for [-] miles, with a stick of [-], and the accomplice Shi Sheng Sheng apprentice for three years. It will be implemented after being reported to the government office for approval."

"Jia Zhizhi and Wu Shun, they lied in court to fool the court officials, disturbed the order of the court, and sentenced them to [-] boards, and executed them immediately! Yuan Changhe threatened the traders, and behaved badly, and sentenced them to [-] boards as a punishment, to be executed immediately!"

When Jia's father and Jia Xiaoren heard the verdict, they immediately collapsed to the ground, and Qiqi looked at Master Lu.

"Slow down! Lord Luo!" Lord Lu shouted loudly.

Luo Mingda frowned and said, "What's the matter, Master Lu?"

"Niu San tried to administer the medicine, Lord Luo's punishment is too severe!" Lord Lu said.

Luo Mingda replied: "Master Lu, do you know how much Niu Sanxia's croton powder is? One catty. If he succeeds, I don't know how many people have died in Tongshan City now!"

Master Lu said: "Isn't this a failure? This kind of hypothesis does not exist."

Luo Mingda replied: "You are making unreasonable words."

Master Lu was about to continue talking, when suddenly a shout came from outside the door: "Master Cai is here!"

When everyone heard this call, they all looked behind in surprise.

"Master Cai is here?"

"Where?"

Yu Qingze, Luo Mingda and the others were also a little surprised, and Master Lu and Master Zhang were the most surprised.

Cai Wendong is in Yunzhou, and it will take a day and a half at the fastest to get here. Even if the people from the Cai Mansion rushed to notify the day before yesterday, they would not arrive so soon?

The situation is really bad.

Master Lu frowned. If Cai Wendong sees him here, he will read a copy of him at that time. At least one will leave his post without authorization, and at the most serious one will protect relatives, it will be bad.

Thinking of this, Lord Lu didn't dare to tell Luo Mingda any more, and quietly backed away, wanting to sneak out as soon as everyone's attention was on Cai Wendong.

"Oh, Master Lu, and, is this Master Zhang? What day is it today? Blew the two of you to Tongshan?"

Master Cai came out from the separated crowd, looked at Master Lu who was about to turn around, and Master Zhang inside the room, and then said with a smile.

Being recognized, Lord Lu had no choice but to turn around and said: "Oh, Mr. Cai, what a coincidence. I heard that Tongshan has been very efficient in solving cases recently, so I specially brought Mr. Zhang to visit and study."

"Oh? Is that so? Then welcome." Master Cai entered the courtroom, and then said to Luo Mingda who came out to welcome him: "Master Luo, a colleague is coming, why don't Master Lu come in and sit in the hall?"

Luo Mingda replied: "The prisoner in this case is Master Lu's cousin, for the sake of Master Lu, it is still inconvenient to enter the court."

"Oh..." Mr. Cai looked at the situation in the lower hall, then at Mr. Lu, and said to Mr. Lu, "I've been here for a while, is the trial over?"

Luo Mingda nodded and said, "Just finished the trial."

Mr. Cai said: "That's just right. Mr. Lu can come in and sit down. I happened to be in Tongshan with Mr. Huang, the head of the household department, and Mr. Li, the head of the work department. I didn't expect to meet you to try the case."

When Master Lu and Master Zhang saw the two people following Master Cai, cold sweat broke out on their backs, and they were spotted by the officials from Beijing.

Lord Lu hurriedly said: "We've finished watching it too, it's time to go back to Qingzhou, so don't bother me."

Master Cai looked at him and said, "In such a hurry?"

"Yes, these two days are also taken out. When I have time in the future, I will catch up with Mr. Cai." Mr. Lu said.

Master Cai didn't hold back anymore, and said: "That's okay, Master Lu, Master Zhang, go slowly."

Master Lu hurried away, and didn't care about Jia Xiaoren's affairs any more.

Just now he was seen by Cai Wendong when he spoke for Jia Xiaoren, if he stayed any longer, it would be very bad for him, not to mention protecting Jia Xiaoren, even he himself would not be able to protect himself.

Luo Mingda and the county magistrate were dealing with the follow-up matters, Mr. Cai and the others were chatting at the door while waiting for them to leave.

Seeing that the onlookers had left the hall, they also gradually dispersed, and Yu Qingze also took the guys back to the restaurant.

Luo Fulang, who was observing the situation here in the next room, saw Master Cai and the officials from Jingli coming, he gave orders in the young servant's ear, and the young servant went down.

Soon, the servant brought two people over.

Luo Fulang talked to them, their eyes lit up immediately, they went out from the side, and then went around to the gate of the court, and when they saw Mr Cai, they knelt down and started shouting: "Mr Cai! Please make decisions for the grassroots! Mr Cai, Please be the master of the grassroots!"

Upon hearing this, Master Cai and the other adults turned around to look at it.

"Lord Cai, please make the decision for the grassroots!"

Mr. Cai bent down to help the two of them up, and asked: "You two fellow villagers, please get up quickly. What is the grievance between you? Go inside and tell me slowly."

Luo Mingda and the others were preparing to let the government servants put Jia Xiaoren in shackles and beat Jia Mingming, Wu Shun and Yuan Changhe, and they also looked out when they heard the sound.

The two who complained were a middle-aged husband and a 25-year-old husband. When they saw Jia Xiaoren in the house, the younger husband immediately said loudly: "Master Cai, we want to sue Jia Xiaoren for killing our relatives." , and sue the county magistrate and magistrate of Qingzhou for covering up the murderer Jia Xiaoren, who is in vain as an official of the parents and an official of the imperial court!"

When Master Cai and the two adults in Beijing heard this, they froze.

"What's the matter? Come with me, two fellow villagers, and tell me." As he spoke, Cai Wendong took the two adults from Beijing and the two husbands to the next room, and listened carefully to their grievances.

When Jia Xiaoren saw those two people before being taken away, he was startled, and a bad premonition flashed through his mind.

These two people were the victims of the Qingzhou restaurant incident more than a year ago, the dead child's Ahmao and the boss's husband who jumped into the river.

The two husbands told Master Cai and the others about what happened last year. Afterwards, Master Cai brought them back to the Cai Mansion for resettlement.
