640 Little Plum Testifies

As soon as Mr. Miao heard that he was going to be beaten, he immediately shut his mouth, for fear that he would say something else, then Lu Tao would really hit him a few times.

Seeing that the court was quiet again, Lu Tao looked at Li Fan coldly, and said displeasedly, "Boss Li, you are in business, so you naturally know how to distinguish right from wrong, and you know that everything is about a piece of evidence, what evidence do you have? Prove that Miao Er was greedy for more than 2,000 taels of silver?"

evidence? Do you want to tell these people that Gu Xiaowan calculated these numbers?

Li Fan pursed his lips, thinking about countermeasures in his heart, but did not speak.

Then Lu Tao saw that Li Fan didn't speak, and his face turned cold: "Why, Boss Li, can't you answer? If you can't answer, someone will answer for you! Come on, pass the witness!"

Li Fan turned around and wanted to see who this witness was.

I heard that the yamen just now said that there was a witness who belonged to Jin Fulou. Who is it?

After a while, I saw a thin man following behind the yamen, bowing his head. He kept his head down, but Li Fan didn't recognize who he was.

When he stood beside Li Fan and raised his head to look at Li Fan, Li Fan felt that this person was very familiar, as if he belonged to his restaurant.

But because there are too many servants in the restaurant, it is impossible for him to know all of them.

Seeing Li Fan looking at him so strangely, Xiao Lizi knew that the shopkeeper didn't recognize him. I don't know whether to be happy or sad. He had been in Jinfulou for more than a year, but he was still an errand, and it was rare to see Li Fan's face.

Xiao Shengzi didn't let himself come into contact with Li Fan at all. He must be afraid that he was too smart and would take his job at that time!

"Are you from my Jinfulou?" Li Fan looked left and right, but still didn't recognize it, he asked with a frown.

Little Lizi didn't answer, but knelt down and said crisply, "Little Lizi, Caomin, see you sir!"

Lu Tao hummed and asked solemnly, "Who are you?"

"Master, Caomin is the servant of Jinfu Building, and he has been in Jinfu Building for more than a year." Xiao Lizi glanced at Li Fan sadly, and said unwillingly.

Seeing his unwilling appearance, Lu Tao was a little puzzled: "Then why doesn't Boss Li know you?"

Li Fan didn't know what Xiao Lizi looked like at all. What is the reason for this!

"When Mr. Miao was here, I could still run upstairs and downstairs. Mr. Miao was kind to me, saying that I was smart and capable. He also said...and said..." Xiao Lizi finished. These few words were cut off again, as if very angry and embarrassed, "If you have something to say, there is no need to cover up and wince in this court!" Lu Tao saw his expression of hesitating to speak. , shouting loudly.

"Mr. Miao said that he started working in Jinfu Building when it opened in Liujia Town. For so many years, there is no credit, but also hard work. But it is because he only knows how to do things every day, not at all. He doesn't know how to flatter the shopkeeper. So far, his relationship with the shopkeeper is still normal, but Xiao Shengzi is different. Those who come in and follow out will take him with him, such a person who can't do anything, but the shopkeeper likes him."

Xiao Lizi said resentfully: "I have been in Jinfu Building for more than a year, and it is very hard, but now I am still a servant in the kitchen running errands. All of this is because of Xiao Shengzi, if it is not for him who always stops him I see the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper still doesn’t know me now!”

What? Li Fan was stunned when he heard what Xiao Lizi said.

This……

Which pot is this not open to mention?

He likes to take Xiao Shengzi because this person is quick-witted, diligent, decent, and pure-hearted, and won't come up with crooked ideas.

However, what does this have to do with him being unfamiliar with Miao Er and the person named Xiao Lizi in front of him?

Li Fan looked astonished. But the next words called Xiao Lizi made him even more surprised.

"It doesn't matter if Boss Li doesn't know me, but Mr. Miao has been working in Jinfu Building for so long, and he has been there ever since it opened. Jinfu Building has now become the largest restaurant in Liujia Town, and it has also opened in Ruixian County. Branch, as Mr. Miao who first entered the Jinfu Building, he is also a hero, right?" Xiao Lizi kept crying, as if he was crying that Li Fan should not disrespect Mr. Miao, and should not disrespect Mr. Miao.

Mr. Miao, who was on the side, heard that Xiao Lizi mentioned Miao Er, and his face seemed to be full of sorrow, and Mrs. Miao also burst into tears.

"However, after that Gu Xiaowan came. Boss Li believed a girl who said that Mr. Miao was greedy for ink, and even calculated a figure of more than 2,000 taels. This is simply ridiculous! Mr. Miao has always been diligent and thrifty. Why did you say that you are greedy for ink?" Xiao Lizi didn't seem to believe it, with a look of astonishment, and when he said this, he was even more angry, as if others were falsely accusing him of being greedy for ink.

"What did you say? Gu Xiaowan calculated the amount of money that Miao Er was greedy for ink?" Lu Tao heard the point and shouted loudly.

"Your words are absolutely true!" Xiao Lizi glanced at Li Fan with a sad face, and said firmly.

At this time, everyone also heard that something was wrong, especially after listening to Lu Tao's emphasis on saying this, everyone's eyes were even more inquiring and questioning.

"What's the matter? How much money this Miao Er has greed was calculated by that girl?"

"How can this be possible? Isn't this a bit of a robbery?"

Everyone, you look at me and say a word, guessing

What does the little plum mean!

"Li Fan, is what Xiao Lizi said true?" The courtroom became more and more noisy, and the voices of the people watching the lively discussions became louder and louder, almost covering up their voices.

Lu Tao slapped the jingtang wood violently: "Be quiet, there is no room for you to make noise in the courtroom. If you disturb this official's handling of the case again, it will be dealt with according to the law!"

The people onlookers were immediately silenced, and the court that was noisy just now became quiet again.
