Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Chapter 559 Hard evidence
"Boss, I checked carefully. Maybe the weather is too cold, and the water has frozen in the pipe, causing it to be blocked." Shopkeeper Ding continued to report.

Shen Xingwang frowned and said, "It's cold, and the sewer pipes are frozen, but so many guests have unplugged the tub to let the water flow out, how can this be acceptable?"

Shen Yuan answered the words affirmatively: "It is not justifiable for the sewer pipes to freeze. Our bamboo pipes are all insulated to prevent freezing and cracking. It is absolutely impossible for the flowing water to freeze in the pipes."

"So, someone is up to something?'" Just go and see. '

The three of them were talking, and soon arrived at the Yunlai Inn on Anren Street.

This inn is located in the most prosperous area of ​​the capital, and even the room rate is double that of other places. When the guest rooms of Yunlai Inn were just renovated, it caused quite a stir in the capital. Many merchants came to try to stay and received good reviews. rate one hundred percent.

Something happened here, and many people watched.

Seeing Princess Ye's Zhu Lun car approaching, people took the initiative to get out of the way.

When Shen Yuan got off the car, everyone saluted her, "I've seen Princess Ye." On the day Princess Ye entered Beijing, she rode with His Royal Highness Ye Wang and showed her affection in public. The entire capital was a sensation, and almost no one didn't know her.

In their eyes, Concubine Ye is a legendary figure. She was born in the countryside but is proficient in everything. She can play the piano and dance like Princess Daqi. They are really impressed by buying military supplies and sending them to northern Xinjiang.

Shen Yuan smiled and nodded at everyone, and then entered the Yunlai Inn.

First, I went to the first floor to have a look. Several rooms were full of water. The newly renovated floor and furniture were all soaked. The second floor was better. The water flowed from the cracks to the first floor, but the furniture and floor were also soaked. , the loss is not small.

After reading this, I came to the 'bathroom' again. After checking, I found that the sewer pipe was frozen and blocked.

After the inspection, Shen Yuan and Shen Xingwang came down from the second floor.

As soon as I went downstairs, I was surrounded by more than a dozen guests.

"Boss Shen, just tell us how much you will pay. Our luggage has all been flooded."

"It's not just water, I was sleeping soundly, and water started to flow from my head, and my face flowed, that was someone else's bath water~~ Such a shame, I will never end with you if I don't pay a hundred and eighty thousand.

"Me too? I was so scared that I rolled out of bed, almost broke my leg, and had to pay for it."

"I am the owner of Tianxia Commercial Bank, everyone, listen to me." Shen Yuan glanced at everyone indifferently, "Which ones are the guests on the first floor?"

Several merchant-looking men raised their hands.

"Which ones are the guests upstairs?" Shen Yuan asked again.

Several other merchant-like men responded, "I~~'

Shen Yuan glanced at them and said with a smile, "Since the guests on the second floor didn't insert the plug of the tub, causing the water to flow downstairs, they should compensate the guests on the first floor for the loss. In addition, the floor furniture of my Yunlai Inn Therefore, it was all damaged by water, and the residents on the second floor should compensate according to the price."

"Concubine Ye is right. Since it was caused by the occupants on the second floor who didn't plug the tub, it's justifiable for them to compensate." Some of the onlookers expressed their support.

"Yes, I think they did it on purpose. How could six people forget to plug the tub at the same time?"

"Isn't it? It must be to find fault and ask them to compensate."

Those people really didn't expect that everyone would support Princess Ye so much. After a moment of stunned, a tall and thin man explained.

"The thing is like this. The six of us are businessmen from other places. After staying in the Yunlai Inn, we saw that they had installed a squatting toilet in their house. We became curious and made a bet. If it is stuffed, will it be frozen, and it will be frozen."

After the man finished speaking, the short and fat man continued, "So there is a problem with this design. There will always be guests who forget to plug the bath tub? If this is the case, the sewer pipe will definitely freeze, and the water will definitely flow everywhere, huh , dare to put such a big defect into use?" "

This reason is irrefutable.

However, Shen Yuan smiled and glanced at the onlookers: "The eyes of the masses are discerning, and they are indeed here to find fault." After speaking, he looked at the people in the building, "Do you know that Tianxia Commercial Bank is an imperial property? If you admit it is now Those who come to find fault, pay all the losses and let you go, otherwise each person will be fined tens of thousands and sent to prison for half a year."

The tall and thin man folded his hands on his chest, and answered with the corners of his mouth.

"We are just ordinary residents, just because you exposed the flaws of your inn's bullshit squatting toilet, Princess Ye will falsely accuse us of finding fault, and want to use power to suppress others? The emperor will not believe that there is no kingly law."
Shen Yuan sneered, "So, are you refusing to admit it? That's it, Brother Xingwang, send someone to report to the authorities."

"Big Boss, I'll go." Shopkeeper Ding responded, and quickly reported to the official.

This group of people is calm and composed, and looks confident.

The officers and soldiers arrived soon, Master Zhao who led the troops went upstairs and downstairs to inspect, and after understanding what happened, he looked at Shen Yuan.

"Princess Ye, both parties are responsible for this matter, but specifically, your inn is more responsible. Your product has such a big defect, you should cancel the report and use, and compensate the guests for their losses."

After listening to Mr. Zhao's words, the dozen or so merchants all showed complacency.

Shen Yuan smiled, and said to Mr. Zhao: "My lord, let me ask you a question first. What is the crime of destroying the royal property? What is the crime of damaging the reputation of the royal family?
Mr. Zhao replied honestly: "Fine [-] in silver and one year in prison."

"Really? I thought it was half a year in prison~~ Is the [-] fine for everyone or everyone together?"

"Of course everyone."

"Okay." Shen Yuan glanced at the dozen or so men coldly, "I gave you a chance just now, and I will let you go if you pay for the damages. If you refuse, then wait to pay for the prison meal."

After speaking, he looked at Mr. Zhao, "These people stuffed snow blocks into the bamboo pipes we use for drainage, blocked the water pipes, and then deliberately put some water in, causing the bamboo pipes to freeze and burst, causing huge losses to the inn."

Hearing these words, the thin and tall man's expression changed, and he quickly regained his composure, "Princess Ye is really bullying others with her empty words."

Master Zhao also said: "I'm sorry, Ye Wangfei, I just checked upstairs and downstairs, and there is no such phenomenon as you said, and Ye Wangfei can't talk nonsense without evidence.'

Shen Yuan smiled, "Who said there is no evidence? Master Zhao, please come with me, by the way, and you, this princess will let you see what is solid evidence."

Hearing that he was going to show everyone the 'hard evidence', the onlookers followed suit and walked around to the backyard of the inn.
