"Everyone look, my brother used their Ruyi Dew to become like this!" A tall and skinny young man in the crowd pointed angrily at Ruyi Workshop and said loudly.
Beside him, a young man stood there. His face was swollen and his eyes had become thin slits. One could vaguely make out his human features.
"My brother heard that the Ruyi Workshop sells Ruyi Dew that can refresh the mind. He wanted to use some when he was tired from studying. Who would have thought that after using it, he would become like this!" The young man's face was full of grief, and his voice was clearly heard by the surrounding crowd.
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding crowd all looked at the young man.
"Pfft …"
Someone couldn't help but laugh out loud. "This face, it looks like, it looks like …"
"It looks like a pig's head … hahaha!"
"Haha, now that you mention it, it really does look like it …"
Seeing the young man's swollen head that looked like a pig's head, the crowd automatically ignored what the young man had just said. Even though they knew it was a bit rude, they still couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Hearing the laughter around him, the young man's swollen face immediately turned the color of a pig's liver.
"Ha … soy … soy pig's head!"
At this moment, the people who hadn't laughed earlier finally couldn't help but laugh.
The angry young man's expression froze on his face. The development of the situation was completely different from what he had imagined!
Shouldn't the crowd be pointing their fingers at Ruyi Workshop and scolding the black-hearted profiteers for selling shoddy goods and scamming customers?
How did it turn out like this?
Damn it, who brought up the topic of soy pig's head just now?
The young man's throat moved, and he secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Then, he gave a few people in the crowd a look.
Someone immediately understood what he meant and shouted loudly.
"Boycott the profiteers!"
"Boycott Ruyi Dew!"
"Black-Hearted merchants, drag them to the officials!"
A few abrupt voices came from the crowd, but they were quickly drowned out by the crowd's discussion.
"I heard that Spring Fragrance Restaurant has a new dish recently. Their soy pig's head is really the best in Qing 'an Prefecture. Should we go try it another day?"
"Sigh, what's so good about soy pig's head? Braised pig's feet are the best …"
"I think pig's ears are delicious. They're perfect to go with wine."
…
A few people in the crowd looked embarrassed. The young man stood at the entrance of Ruyi Square and opened his mouth in shock, but he couldn't say a word.
The young man's face was flushed red. He looked more like … a pig's head that had been soaked in soy sauce.
"What's going on? Who are you people? What are you doing here? " All of a sudden, a powerful voice rang out from the front. Everyone's voices stopped abruptly as they turned to look in the direction of the voice.
A tall and sturdy man walked out of the shop.
When the young man saw that everyone was no longer discussing the matter of the marinated pig head, he was overjoyed. He quickly wiped away his saliva and a resentful expression immediately appeared on his face. He pointed at the man and said, "It's all because of your Ruyi Dew that my brother has become like this. Today, you must give us an explanation!"
"What?" Old Fang looked at the young man beside the young man and was also shocked. "Whose family is this braised pig head?"
"You … Don't even think about changing the topic!" The topic of marinated pig head could not be discussed anymore. The young man pointed at Fang and said loudly, "If you can't give me an explanation today, I'll definitely report you to the authorities!"
"Give us an explanation!"
"We can't let this black-hearted shop go!"
"That's right, we can't let them go!"
…
Among the crowd, more and more people began to shout along with them under the uproar of a few voices.
Those who were watching a good show could never complain about things getting out of hand. After all, the pig head looked delicious … and it looked miserable. Under the influence of sympathy, the balance in everyone's hearts gradually tilted in their favor.
Fang's expression was ugly. If that pig head was really caused by Ruyi Dew, then the matter was serious. It would have a serious impact on Ruyi Dew's voice in the future. Behind him, the pretty faces of a few girls turned pale. They also didn't know how to deal with this matter.
"Fang, what's the matter?" A familiar voice came from the side. Fang turned his head and looked as if he had seen his savior. He was relieved and said hurriedly, "Young Master, you came at the right time. He said that there's a problem with our Ruyi Dew …"
He pointed at the young man and said, "Young Master, look."
Li Yi looked in the direction where Fang was pointing and was shocked. "This pig head … How did it become like this?"
"Isn't it because of your Ruyi Dew!" The young man pointed at Li Yi and took out a small porcelain bottle from his pocket. It was the bottle of Ruyi Dew and said angrily.
Li Yi looked at the young man and a trace of suspicion flashed in his eyes. Most of the Ruyi Dew was alcohol. For a small number of people who were allergic to alcohol, it was possible for them to have an allergic reaction, but it was impossible for it to become like this.
Moreover, when he was selling the Ruyi Dew, he had already made it clear that there shouldn't be such a serious allergic reaction.
Could it be that … these guys are here to blackmail me?
Li Yi looked at the young man thoughtfully. At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the crowd.
"Make way, make way!"
A few constables in black separated the crowd and walked in. The middle-aged constable who led them said loudly, "What's the matter?"
A trace of joy appeared on the young man's face when he saw the constable, and he hurriedly walked over and said, "Constable, my brother used the Ruyi Nectar sold in this shop, and now he has become like this. The evidence is conclusive, and these people still want to deny it. Please uphold justice for us, Constable!"
"Hey, how did it become like this?" The young man's appearance also startled the constable. At this moment, the young man secretly gave him a look. The middle-aged constable's expression didn't change. He waved his hand and said, "If you have any grievances, you can talk about it when we return to the county government. Disperse, disperse!"
Hearing this, Li Yi's eyes slightly narrowed.
Generally speaking, for such a small matter, constables would only suggest the two parties to mediate in private. They wouldn't easily bring it up in court.
This young man didn't even mention whether he was willing to mediate or not, but the middle-aged constable couldn't wait to bring them back to the county government. Of course, Li Yi wouldn't believe that there wasn't something fishy going on.
Moreover, when he saw the two of them secretly exchanging glances, he coincidentally saw it.
Hearing that they were going to the county government, Fang's expression changed slightly. The faces of the girls behind him were even paler. At this moment, Li Yi took a step forward and pointed at the young man. He said, "Constable, before we go to the county government, can I ask him a few questions?"
"What questions? You'll have the chance to ask him when we get to the county government!" The middle-aged constable impatiently waved his hand and said to the young constables, "What are you waiting for? Take them all away!"
A secret smile appeared on the young man's face. Once they arrived at the county government, he would be the one to decide who was right and who was wrong. The burly man and scholar before him were no different from fish on the chopping board.
"So what if we let him ask? It won't take much time."
At this moment, a faint voice came from outside the crowd.
