Chapter 829: Your King Ping is quite generous to his servants

The fat manager saw that the onlookers were whispering, and many people came back to the store to return goods, and those who had not paid ran out.

A smug smile flashed across his face, and he walked over, pulled the frightened woman up from the ground, and pushed her in front of Qiao Ran.

"Madam Wang, the person who killed your husband is right in front of you. Go find her and seek justice! Don't worry, everyone is watching. If they still have some shame, they won't dare to do anything to you."

These words made it sound as if Qiao Ran was the murderer and should just stand there and wait for others to vent their anger.

Qiao Ran would not tolerate them. Seeing that the woman was about to rush up and scratch her face again, she dodged to the side and reached out to grab the woman's wrist.

There was a "click" sound, and the woman held her wrist and screamed in pain.

The fat steward shuddered with fear and took a few steps back involuntarily.

Qiao Ran ignored the howling woman and walked towards the manager.

The guards from Prince Ping's Palace that the fat steward brought with him wanted to step forward to protect the fat steward, but were stopped by the guards from the General's Palace and Prince Dingbei's Palace.

More than ten people against twenty, the guards of Prince Ping's mansion were unable to move forward for a while.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the fat steward turned around and wanted to run.

Qiao Ran quickened her pace and took two quick steps. When the fat steward tried to turn around and dive into the crowd, she grabbed him by the collar and threw him back.

"boom!"

The fat steward was thrown to the ground.

As luck would have it, he was thrown by Qiao Ran onto the dead body on the ground.

For some reason, the dead body's hand suddenly raised up and slapped the fat steward in the face.

“Ah! Ahhhhhh…! It’s none of my business! I didn’t kill you! It wasn’t me…!”

The fat steward was so scared that he peed his pants, and there was a puddle of yellow water under his feet, which shocked everyone.

The woman was also frightened when she saw this, and she backed away desperately, holding her broken wrist.

Seeing the two people’s reactions, Qiao Ran sneered in her heart.

Seeing that the fat steward and the woman were still trying to hide in the crowd, the Qiao family took action.

Qiao Erhe and two men from the village pinned the fat manager to the ground, facing the face of the dead body.

The woman was also grabbed by Zheng Hui Niang and several other women and could not move.

Qiao Ran stepped forward to check the body on the ground, then straightened up and asked the fat steward:

"You said this person was poisoned by eating mulberries sold in our supermarket? Do you have evidence? If you have evidence, why don't you report it to the police directly? You brought the body to me. Are you trying to extort money or to spread rumors to discredit my supermarket so that I can't keep it open?"

The fat steward felt very nervous when he heard Qiao Ran's sharp questions.

But he had obviously thought of a plan before coming, so he answered calmly:

"He died after eating the mulberries from your shop! Your mulberries must be poisonous! But the food was eaten, so where is the evidence? But we can't help but seek justice for the deceased. Wang Baogui died, leaving behind an orphan and a widow. You can't just ignore it. Besides, we want everyone to know that the food sold in your shop is poisonous. We can't let anyone die in vain!"

"Oh, that's quite righteous, huh?"

Qiao Ran sneered.

Then he asked, "Who is this Wang Baogui in your house?"

The fat steward stiffened his neck and said, "He is the gardener in our mansion."

"Gardener? Your King Ping is quite generous to his servants. Such expensive mulberries, ordinary people would not be willing to buy them to eat, but King Ping was willing to give a small box of mulberries worth twenty taels of silver to an ordinary servant to eat? Did you eat them? You are the steward, you should have eaten more, right?"

The onlookers were also in an uproar and started talking about it.

You know, mulberries are considered a very expensive fruit in the 21st century, and you only spend ten yuan for a small bunch.

In ancient times, because few people grew mulberries, there were no conditions for transportation and refrigeration. This fruit was extremely delicate and could easily be damaged by squeezing and bumps.

Therefore, it became more difficult for city dwellers to eat fresh mulberries, and they even became a tribute fruit that only the imperial palace could eat.

The mulberries that Qiao Ran planted with pond mud and watered with spiritual spring water are naturally bigger, sweeter and more juicy than ordinary mulberries. They cost twenty taels a box, and one hundred boxes were put on the shelves yesterday and were quickly sold out.

Who would have thought that an ordinary servant in Prince Ping's mansion could also eat such expensive fruit? How could this not make the onlookers envious and jealous?
