Chapter 122 Twenty Big Boards for You
Soon, two bowls of hot water were served.
Su Eli asked the county magistrate, "Can a daughter of the people come forward?"
"Can."
Perhaps because of He Jingyi's presence, the county magistrate gave Su Eli enough face.
Su Eli pointed to the bowl on the left and picked up the lollipop in her shop, "Please remember, sir, this bowl is filled with my candy."
After she put her own lollipop in, she put another lollipop into the bowl on the right, "This bowl contains the candies they brought."
The people next to him stretched their necks and widened their eyes, not knowing what Su Eli was going to do.
Soon, the two candies melted away under the influence of hot water.
In the bowl on the left, after the lollipops melted, they were light in color and melted into the hot water with a gentle shake. There was no color at all, and the sweet and sour aroma was still tangy.
In the bowl on the right, after the lollipop was cut open, it was obvious that the lollipop had a very obvious red color that melted and could not be integrated into the water, and there was also a faint pungent sour and bitter taste.
"Please let me know that these two candies are completely different. We also have people who can make candies in Wanhua Wanshi Store. It is not difficult to imitate one of our Huahua Wanshi lollipops. But that candy
, although the candy sticks used are from my family, the candy is not made by us." Su Eli said respectfully.
"Nonsense!" After the truth was revealed, Weng Songbai was still unconvinced and jumped up, "That fraud was also made by you. You just sold me dirty things on purpose and wanted something to happen to me. Master, please don't
Believe her!"
"I still have evidence." Su Eli spoke calmly, "Sir, if you suspect that the candies we brought are fake, you can go to Wanwuzhi Store to get their candies for comparison.
See if it is exactly the same as the bowl on the right after it is transformed. Even if we can tamper with it, we can only tamper with it in our Huahua Wanshi, and we can't reach their Wanwu Store."
The county magistrate listened and nodded, "Go to Wanwuzhi Store and take a look at their candies."
Master An's legs went weak as soon as he heard this. How dare you take this?!
He didn’t dare to bring it!
Once you bring the candy from their store, doesn't that mean...
"Master Qingtian, please give me a clear lesson, please give me a clear lesson!" Master An knelt on the ground and kept shouting.
Su Eli said strangely: "Master An, this is strange. The elder didn't say the case was unfair. He just asked you to go back and get some candy to try. It's just such a simple thing. Why don't you dare to do it?"
Or...you have a ghost in your heart!"
Master An was trembling like a sieve. The evidence was already in front of him. He did not dare and could not deny it anymore!
He trembled and pointed at Weng Songbai, "It's him! He came up with the idea. I didn't want to do it originally. He told me to do it because he said it would definitely crush Su'eri's shop.
!I don’t know anything, it’s all his fault!”
In the face of danger, it seems that this uncle doesn't care much for his nephew.
Weng Songbai's face also changed, "Little uncle, you can't say that. If it weren't for your store, would I be able to do such a thing? Mr. Qingtian Mingjian, that store was opened by my little uncle, and he was the one who made the money.
It's all his fault, it has nothing to do with me!"
The county magistrate was not sure at first, but now that he saw the attitudes of these two people, it was clear who was right and who was wrong.
"Absurd!" The county magistrate suddenly slapped the alarm, "You, the Shop of All Things, dare to direct and act on your own to deceive me! Do you think I am easy to deceive!"
"Come here, give each of them twenty big boards first, lock them up, and wait for another day to interrogate them!"
After hearing the order from the county magistrate, Master An and Weng Songbai almost collapsed to the ground.
"It's unjust, it's unjust! Sir, we are unjust!"
The two people kept saying that they were wronged, but they couldn't say a word about why they were wronged.
Seeing that he was about to hit the twenty-big board, Weng Songbai turned around and pounced on Su Eli, knelt in front of her, and tugged on her clothes, "Cousin, you are my cousin, please save us. Are you not talking to the county?"
Is the grandpa’s daughter a sworn friend? Just save us, we won’t dare to do it anymore!”
Master An also kept bowing to Su Eli, "Miss Su, it was only because of our confusion that we did this kind of thing. Please be kind and spare us once."
Su Eli's eyebrows slowly wrinkled, and she shook her head, "Why don't you know how to repent? Does this mean I don't save you?"
She brought over the bowl of water on the right, "Do you dare to explain for yourself how your lollipops are made?"
Master An didn't dare to raise his head, and Weng Songbai didn't dare to look directly at the bowl of water.
"Don't you dare? I'll tell you for you." Su Eli said calmly, "You wanted to imitate the lollipops I made, but you couldn't imitate them, so you used dyes that humans can't eat, right?"
Upon hearing this, the faces of the crowd who crowded around the yamen entrance changed.
A few days before the candy store sold cheap candies, they had all bought candies from the store! At first, they just thought the taste was slightly different, but they didn’t expect that the dye used was inedible dye!
"No, it's not..." Master An still wanted to quibble, but he really couldn't think of how else he could quibble!
"Then you can explain to me that your lollipops melt in water and the color cannot be diluted. If you don't use dye, what is it?" Su Eli asked loudly.
Master An was breaking out in a cold sweat now. His mind was full of trying to find excuses to fool him, but the facts were right in front of him and he couldn't fool him!
Some people in the crowd of onlookers were angry, "No wonder, my child's tongue changed color after eating it. It turns out you used dye! Shop of All Things, do you still have a conscience?"
"That's it! Twenty big boards have been played lightly!"
People who heard the truth became angry.
Master An was almost paralyzed on the ground. He could only plead with Su Eli again and again, "I don't dare anymore, Miss Su. We don't dare anymore. Please spare me!"
"Am I not going to spare you?" Su Eli shook her head, "You are the one who made and sold the fakes yourself. What does that have to do with me?"
Master An still wanted to continue begging Su Eli, but the Yamen servant had already arrived in front of them.
Thinking of the twenty big boards right in front of them, the two of them were frightened to death, "Spare our lives! Sir, we don't dare to do it anymore, please spare our lives!"
However, their begging for mercy was of no use now.
