Chapter 120 The Flour Field Disturbance
Chapter 120 Flour Farm Troubles
Shen Yunyao said casually: "Oh. This is toilet paper, for wiping butts."
"This... is such a waste of natural resources! Who would wipe it with paper!" Patriarch Shen blushed instantly.
Shen Yunyao smiled and said: "It's not that rare. This kind of paper is supposed to have this function. If you are short of paper, I will get you some writing paper."
"That's not what I meant." Patriarch Shen sighed.
Shen Yunyao didn't say anything else. After putting away the toilet paper, she went out. Soon, she came in with a large pile of paper and stuffed it into the patriarch's arms.
Patriarch Shen looked at the paper in his arms and asked doubtfully: "Where did this paper come from, and why does it look better than the best paper in the town?"
Shen Yunyao said: "I made it myself."
"What? You made it yourself?" Patriarch Shen was not calm now.
"Yes. Is this paper so good?" Of course she asked this deliberately.
"Yes. If this is sold in the town, it will definitely be easy to sell. Girl, have you ever thought about opening a paper making factory?"
Shen Yunyao pretended to be thinking, "Well, I've thought about it. I haven't thought about it yet."
"Okay, then think about it slowly. If you want to open it, we should give priority to opening it in our village."
"Yeah, good."
She used to think that she was the daughter of the Shen family, so the skills of making bricks and porcelain were given to the Shen family.
Now it seems that she is probably just an adopted daughter. In order to avoid disputes in the future, she has to let her Yungu disciples help manage her property.
It turns out that she really didn't think much about it.
The steward of the flour mill was Shen Gaoling, the cousin of Shen Gaofeng hired by the patriarch.
The chief of the clan asked him to take charge, mainly because he was closer to Shen Gaofeng by blood, and after studying clan studies for several years, he worked diligently at home and farmed the land, thus meeting the requirements for being a steward.
Shen Gaoling is an honest man, but his brother-in-law is dishonest.
Because of his wife's repeated pleas, Shen Gaoling made his wife's brother Liu Xiaofeng an employee of the flour mill.
There was a riot in the flour mill, and Liu Xiaofeng bullied others and beat them up.
What the clan leader wanted to talk about today was not only Shen Yunhao's Tongsheng test, but also this matter, how to deal with it.
Mrs. Liu gave the clan leader ten taels of silver and asked the clan leader to sign up on behalf of Shen Yunhao.
Shen Yunyao also gave a hundred taels to the clan leader and said, "If anyone in the clan can't afford the registration fee, use this money to register. If everyone can afford it, use it as a reward to be divided equally among those who pass the Tongsheng examination."
The patriarch was very grateful and then talked about Liu Xiaofeng.
Shen Yunyao asked: "What's going on in the flour mill?"
"Some people came to the flour mill and said that the flour they bought was adulterated with coarse grains, but the price was the same as white flour, which was a scam. Some people also said that wheat was used to grind flour, and the flour they were given was short of a pound. Liu Xiaofeng was at that time On duty, arguing with others, and finally fighting."
Shen Yunyao made no comment and said: "How did it end?"
"Liu Xiaofeng beat the man away."
"Then you are coming?"
"The people from that family came over with their clan members to argue, and they insisted that Liu Xiaofeng pay money, or they would destroy the flour mill. This is about to turn into a fight between the two clans."
"I want to know how Shen Gaoling dealt with it?"
"Gaoling naturally protects his brother-in-law."
"Chief, are they at the flour mill now?"
"Yes. I'm just talking about this matter. After all, it involves your flour mill."
"Let's go see it together."
The three gangs in the flour mill were confronting each other, and there was a stalemate. In addition to the Shen family and the family where the accident occurred, Liu Xiaofeng was not from the village, and Liu Xiaofeng's Liu family was also added.
Seeing the patriarch approaching, the Shen family quickly got out of the way.
Shen Yunyao followed the clan leader and walked over. Others didn't know who she was, but everyone in the Shen family knew, so no one said anything.
"Who is Liu Xiaofeng?" Shen Yunyao asked.
The Liu family shouted: "You yellow-haired girl, what are you shouting in front of so many elders!"
Shen Yunyao glanced at the Liu family indifferently, and just this one glance made them feel like they had fallen into an ice cave.
She released Wia only for the Liu family.
Plop!
Everyone in the Liu family was shaking and knelt on the ground. They screamed and cursed loudly, but they still couldn't stand up.
I had no choice but to kneel down.
The rest of the people looked at this scene in surprise, and a thought came to their minds at the same time, this girl is not simple and cannot be messed with!
Shen Yunyao said: "I am the owner of the flour mill and I am qualified to stand here. I don't want to say it again!"
This simple sentence is like a magic sound to everyone in the Liu family.
They quickly pointed to the young man in the middle of the front row and said, "That's him!"
Liu Xiaofeng knew that he couldn't hide it, so he said: "What's wrong? I am Liu Xiaofeng!"
Shen Yunyao only glanced at him without speaking to him, and asked, "Is Uncle Shen Gaoling here?"
"Here, I'm here." Shen Gaoling was at the front of the Shen family and quickly approached Shen Yunyao.
"Cousin, you are the manager of my flour mill. Have you figured out the ins and outs of what happened in the flour mill? Let's talk about it now."
"Well, now is not the time to talk about things. It's better to send everyone away first."
"Cousin, these people are here because of what happened in the flour mill, and they have to figure it out. If others are looking for trouble, I will report it to the official. If one of my own is looking for trouble, I will also deal with it. I won't be confused and confused. Thin mud.”
Shen Gaoling always felt that his niece was hinting that he was with Xini, and his old face couldn't help but turn red with anger.
Broken Jar Brochuan said: "You can do whatever you want!"
Shen Yunyao didn't care about his attitude and said to Liu Xiaofeng who was still kneeling: "Liu Xiaofeng, why did you and others have a dispute? Who made the first move?"
"Qian Laosan came to grind noodles and bought a bag of noodles. He said that I was short of a few pounds and passed it off as good, and asked me to pay for it. Isn't this blackmail?
We argued for a while, but I don’t remember who hit whom first. Anyway, it was a fight and we were both injured. I can’t even lift my arm now.”
"Fart, who is blackmailing you? Your flour is actually mixed with cornmeal. It must be said to be white flour. Who can't eat it? You also secretly hide a few handfuls of wheat when grinding the flour. How can you not be short-changed? Where am I? I have wronged you!"
Patriarch Shen said solemnly: "When you speak, you must rely on evidence. If you prove that what you say is true, we, the Shen family, cannot tolerate this erring person working in our village."
Shen Gaoling was anxious. He still knew about his brother-in-law. He usually turned a blind eye and didn't go too far. He didn't want his brother-in-law to be wronged, otherwise his wife would make trouble with him.
Now that the clan leader has spoken, there is no room for change in this matter.
He couldn't help but plead, "Chief, is this too harsh?"
Patriarch Shen snorted and ignored him.
When Qian Laosan heard what Chief Shen said, he immediately gave the evidence, as if he was afraid it would be too late.
"Clan Chief Shen, you still manage the clan strictly. Liu Xiaofeng always secretly keeps the wheat that others use to grind flour. The wheat left behind is hidden under the stone mill. He always waits until the bag is full before carrying it home.
This mixed flour is also ready-made in the warehouse of the flour mill. He mixes it and puts it in the warehouse, waiting for others to buy it before giving it to others."
As Qian Laosan spoke, he pointed to the direction of the flour mill.
Patriarch Shen said: "Don't move. You guys, go check it out and bring over a bag."
The Shen family members followed the patriarch's order and brought a few bags over for everyone to check. It was indeed as Qian Laosan said.
Patriarch Shen said sternly: "The witnesses and material evidence are all there, Liu Xiaofeng, you still don't plead guilty?"
"I plead guilty, I plead guilty." Liu Xiaofeng lowered his head, looking frightened.
Shen Yunyao always felt that something was wrong, and Liu Xiaofeng's confession was too smooth.
