The Amazing Effect of the Truth Fruit
"Uncle, I was passing by and was a little thirsty. I wanted to ask for some water.”Bai Ling 'er smiled sweetly and pleaded.
"Thirsty?" Hunter Zhang looked at her suspiciously. Seeing that she was alone, he did not doubt her." Wait."”
He turned around and entered the house. He scooped half a bowl of water from the water tank and stuffed it out through the small gap."Take it. You've really seen a ghost. You little girl actually came to me to ask for water.”
Bai Ling 'er rubbed her head and pretended not to understand his complaint.
He took the bowl and took a sip.
His wide sleeves shook, and white powder slid out of his sleeves into the water. In an instant, it disappeared.
"Ah, why does this water have a sweet taste?”She exclaimed," Uncle, your water is different from mine.”
"Sweet?" This water was clearly picked up from the river outside the town with a carrying pole. Why would there be a smell?
Hunter Zhang snatched the bowl over and gulped it down. He cursed loudly,""What smell? What nonsense are you talking about in broad daylight? Go back to where you came from and stop loitering outside my house.”
The wooden door closed with a clang. Bai Ling 'er learned her lesson this time and took two steps back, avoiding the dust on her face.
She grinned and laughed proudly.
"Master, what should we do next?”Baibai asked curiously. Since he had eaten the Truth Fruit, why didn't Master take the opportunity to ask him?
"Of course, to find a witness." It was not enough for her to hear the truth alone. Even if this person told the truth and proved that the incident at Sun's Restaurant was slander, no one else was present. Who would believe it? She wasn't sure how long the effects of the Truth Fruit would last, so she could take this opportunity to observe.
Bai Ling 'er arrived at Sun's Restaurant on the bullock-cart. The moment she appeared, the eunuch whom she had met yesterday hurriedly came up to her."Miss Ye."
"Is Shopkeeper Sun here?" She jumped off the wooden board, clapped her hands, and asked with a smile.
Sun Fu was counting yesterday's profits on an abacus behind the counter.
There weren't many customers in the restaurant, only two or three kittens. This bleak situation was completely different from Sun Ji's past prosperity, and there was a bit more miserable and desolate.
"Shopkeeper Sun, I've come to give you good news.”Bai Ling-er said mysteriously.
"Where does the joy come from?" Sun Fu raised his eyelids, guessing that she was a girl that his highness valued, so he distracted himself to talk to her.
"Won't you know if you come with me?”As she spoke, she did not give Sun Fu a chance to refuse and urged him to follow her quickly.
Sun Fu was a little unwilling. He had a lot of things to deal with in this restaurant. How could he have the time to play with her?
"Let her take a look. This king is also very curious about what you want to do.”Mo Changge's figure descended from the second floor, as beautiful as a swan.
Bai Ling 'er was dumbfounded. Qinggong! A genuine qinggong!
His eyes shone with starlight. He was so handsome!
"Master, you will definitely be more powerful than him in the future.”Whitey's voice rang out coincidentally, waking her up from her daze.
That's right. When she mastered her cultivation technique, she could also fly in the sky and travel underground in the future.
"Let's go." After regaining her senses, she urged him again.
With Mo Changge's tacit approval, Sun Fu could only follow.
Bai Ling 'er led them straight to the yamen, picked up the drum stick, and beat the drum.
"Who is it?" The bailiff ran out of the manor and hurriedly knelt down when he saw Mo Changge's figure."This servant pays his respects to the Tenth Wangye."
"Yes." He nodded slightly, his every move exuding an innate elegance and nobility.
"We're here to report a case." Bai Ling 'er expressed her intentions.
The bailiff respectfully invited them to the court and immediately entered the inner room to report this matter to the resting magistrate.
The magistrate attentively waited on Mo Changge to sit in the hall and listen. If it wasn't for his unwillingness to sit in the position of the chief judge, the magistrate might even give up his own throne to him.
"Pa." "Who are you?" What case do you want to report? Tell me the truth!"
Sun Fu secretly winked at Bai Ling 'er.
" Sir, it's my report." She lowered her head, looking a little uneasy." I'm Bai Ling 'er, the chef of Sun's Restaurant. My manager was wronged a few days ago, and I want to avenge him."”
"Redress? What injustice?" The magistrate naturally knew what she was referring to. Huanghua Town was not big, and the incident at Sun's Restaurant was too big. It had alerted Tenth Wangye, so how could he, as the magistrate, not know? But where did this injustice come from?
"I heard with my own ears that my uncle, who had a stomachache, said that he deliberately framed our restaurant. Our restaurant was wronged. We didn't use inferior food to cook and sell to everyone.”Bai Ling 'er said firmly.
"Is that true?" The one who spoke was Mo Changge.
"It's true." Bai Ling 'er nodded vigorously.
No one believed that a little girl would lie. The magistrate looked at Tenth Wangye who was standing on the left and asked in a low voice,""Your Highness, look at this…"
"Do you still need me to teach you how to handle cases?”Mo Changge asked coldly.
The magistrate suddenly felt an invisible pressure and slapped the gavel." Someone, pass…" Who was it?
He forgot the name of that person for a moment and couldn't help but blush.
"That person is Hunter Zhang from the town." The advisor came forward in time to help the magistrate.
"Pass it to Hunter Zhang." With that order, the officer quickly went to Hunter Zhang's house and brought the man who was lying on the bed to the yamen.
Outside the yamen, the commoners who had rushed over after hearing the news were looking up. Even a few members of the Bai family had come.
Bai Qiguang originally wanted to go to the Wang Family Village to settle the score with the Third Family, but he heard that someone was beating the drum and the shopkeeper of Sun Ji was present, so he came over to take a look.
While waiting, Mo Changge kept sizing up the little girl in the hall.
What method would she use to clear Sun Ji's name?
Bai Ling 'er's face turned red from his stare and she rolled her eyes.
What are you looking at, annoying person?
Her smile deepened. She was as bold as before.
Not long after, Hunter Zhang was brought to the hall. The two rows of yamen guards were awe-inspiring. The solemn atmosphere scared him so much that his legs went weak. He had never seen such a scene before.
With a plop, he knelt down.
"This…This lowly one greets Your Excellency." He said in fear and trepidation. He could not help but think, Why did Daren call him to the court?
"You're the one who fell ill after eating Sun Ji's food?”The magistrate asked in a low voice.
"No." Hunter Zhang's sudden denial stunned everyone.
What was he saying?
He widened his eyes in fear. No, he didn't want to say that.
"Are you not sick?" The magistrate frowned.
"No, I'm sick, but I didn't get a stomachache at Sun's.”Hunter Zhang was horrified to find that he could not control his mouth. What he thought was completely different from what he said.
The crowd outside the yamen let out waves of gasps.
"This person is seriously ill. His words don't match up with his words, and he's full of nonsense.”
"Wasn't he the one who said that Sun Ji used inferior food to cook a few days ago? Why are you going back on your words now?"
……
Bai Qiguang's face sank. Things were going to be bad!
However, after thinking about it for a moment, he found a beggar to pull strings. Even if Hunter Zhang went back on his word now, it would not be traced back to him.
He had only stepped out righteously and revealed the truth after hearing about it.
After thinking about it, he felt slightly relieved.
After a series of questions and answers, the truth of the matter surfaced.
Hunter Zhang was just short of money. Coincidentally, someone gave him ten taels of silver and asked him to frame Sun's food. After he had a stomachache, he rushed to Sun's. After ordering beef noodles for one night, he claimed that he had a stomachache, causing Sun's reputation to be damaged.
When the magistrate interrogated him, he could not say the name of the person who had instructed him. It was because from the beginning to the end, the person he had interacted with was only a beggar.
When the truth was revealed, the magistrate immediately ordered Hunter Zhang to be imprisoned. Even when he was dragged away by the yamen, he still did not understand why he had said what was on his mind.
"Sir, since it has been proven that Sun's Restaurant was framed, I implore you to give me justice.”Sun Fu pushed the boat with the current and advised the prefect.
" Even if it was a wrong judgment, it should be compensated," Mo Changge said with a smile,""The food for the temple construction will be contracted by Sun Ji. Are you willing?”
"Thank you, Your Highness."
The case was closed, and Sun's Restaurant regained its position as a food contractor. Sun Fu was overjoyed. After leaving the government office, he immediately expressed his gratitude to Bai Ling 'er."This time, it's all thanks to you, Miss Bai. Otherwise, Sun Ji would definitely suffer this injustice.”
" I accidentally overheard his conversation and found out the truth. It was just a coincidence. It's not a big deal," she said modestly before reminding him,""Shopkeeper Sun, don't forget our agreement. From now on, Sun's Restaurant's food will be provided by our Wang Family Village.”
If she hadn't mentioned it, Sun Fu would have forgotten about it.
"Of course, I'll go to the Wang Family Village tomorrow to discuss this deal.”
Bai Ling 'er smiled so widely that her eyes could not be seen. This Truth Fruit was really worth it.
After the matter was settled, she waved goodbye to Sun Fu and prepared to go home.
Many of the commoners gathered outside the yamen had dispersed. Just as they passed through the intersection on the street, they were suddenly stopped by someone.
"Bai Ling 'er!" Bai Qiguang's venomous gaze pierced her body.
Unlucky! He had actually encountered this top-grade beast.
Bai Ling 'er pouted and greeted respectfully,""Uncle."
"What are you doing here? Wasn't it embarrassing for a girl to show her face in public all day? How did Third Bro teach you?" Bai Qiguang asked disdainfully, the fire in his heart burning even more fiercely.
He just couldn't understand. Ever since they separated, the third branch had been doing well, but what about him? She was always unlucky, but now, because of this money-losing thing, her good things were ruined. How could he not hate her?
Bai Ling 'er felt a chill down her spine. She had seen many weirdos before, but there weren't many people in the world who were shameless to this extent.
Back then, when they were splitting up, even the third branch's name was expelled from the genealogy. Now, they ran in front of him and put on the airs of an elder?# Cancel all reviews: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 54PM #
