From Kowloon's Inheritance

Chapter 13 New developments in the case!
In the yamen, Li Mu was flipping through the files.

But the woman in white knelt down on the ground: "Daughter Sun Mengxi, I pay my respects to my parents and officials!"

Li Mu was silent, without words.

The white-clothed woman continued: "I am Sun Jiachen's daughter, and she came here to avenge my father. My father was wronged! My father and Qian Juren had some grievances and quarrels, but this is human nature and cannot be a reason for murder! "

Li Mu continued to be silent, and in the silence, he carried Xiao Sha.

As the woman in white said, she took out a silver ticket, stepped forward and said, "This is 3 taels of silver, specially given to the Elder Master. I just ask the Elder Master to give the daughter's father justice!"

The yamen opens to the south, so don't come in if you have reason or money.

In many cases, it can be done with money, but it is actually not a big problem.

I'm afraid the money won't work out.

"Thirty thousand silver!"

Li Mu opened his mouth and said, "I am a county magistrate, and the cost of raising Lianyin is only 1000 taels a year. Maybe I won't be able to earn 3 taels of silver in my entire life!"

Said, took the bank note, noncommittal.

The woman in white breathed a sigh of relief and accepted the money, which at least proved that there was still room for maneuver. She was afraid that the money would not be accepted, which would be a troublesome matter.

Gritting her teeth, Sun Mengxi said: "My lord, if you are willing to avenge justice for the daughter's father, the slave family is willing to serve as the grand master's concubine!"

Li Mu remained silent.

Sun Mengxi knelt down on the ground without saying a word.

About 10 minutes later, Li Mu said: "You step back!"

"My lord!" Sun Mengxi raised her head and said, "Please, my lord, be the master for my father!"

Li Mu said: "I won't let any bad guy go, and I won't wrong any good guy, just wait and go!"

"Yes!"

Sun Mengxi nodded, turned and left.

"Interesting!" Li Mu smiled, looking at the bank note in his hand, but did not return it.

With these [-] silver notes, you can do many things.It is impossible to build more schools, or build more nursery halls, so that some babies can avoid being drowned.

…………

After closing the file, Li Mu left the study, saw a yamen servant, stepped forward and asked, "Where is the scribe?"

"Scribe Wang, copying official documents!" The yamen servant said and left.

After a while, Wang Shuli said: "My lord, my parents!"

Li Mu asked, "Do you know how many pharmacies there are in this county?"

Wang Shuli said: "There are fifteen pharmacies in the county town, and about ten pharmacies in other small towns! The situation of these pharmacies is clear to the small ones! My lord is sick!"

Li Mu said: "Then go to a few drugstores nearby!"

Wang Shuli nodded and led the way.

The county seat is not big, and the scribes lead the way in front.

The county seat is not big, just equivalent to a small town in later generations, with a small population of only 3 people.

Soon after arriving at a pharmacy, seeing the scribe Wang coming, the shopkeeper immediately stepped forward and said, "Meet the scribe Wang!"

Wang Shuli said: "This is the county magistrate!"

"Greetings to the Elder Master!" The shopkeeper cupped his hands in fear and trepidation.

"Shopkeeper, I'm just walking around casually!" Li Mu said.

But the shopkeeper was still in awe and brought tea.

Sitting on a chair, Li Mu asked, "Your store can sell castor beans!"

The shopkeeper immediately said: "Castor, pick the roots and leaves in summer and autumn, and dry them separately or use them fresh. The leaves are sweet, pungent, flat, and slightly poisonous; the roots are light, slightly pungent, flat. The leaves are used to reduce swelling and remove poison. , antipruritic. Treat sores and ulcers, fresh products smashed for external application; treat eczema and itching, decoct and wash; Colds, epilepsy, schizophrenia.

"As for the castor bean, it has the effect of reducing swelling and removing toxin, purging and clearing stagnation. It is used for symptoms such as carbuncle, swelling and toxin, sore throat, and dry stool!"

Li Mudao: "Is it possible to purchase castor beans on a large scale recently?"

"Not much, not much, I only purchased five catties for the last six months!" Said in control: "I used more than one catty, and there are still more than four catties left!"

Li Mu said: "Keep the prescription!"

"Keep it, of course I keep it!" The shopkeeper said: "The medicine is three-point poisonous. Every time the pharmacy fills the medicine, the pharmacy will check the prescription. If it is too toxic, it will remind you a second time. It will also copy a copy of the prescription. After all, if the prescription is wrong and we eat dead people, we can justify it!"

"For the prescription of castor, let me choose it!" Li Mu said.

"Yes!" The shopkeeper didn't ask anything.

Soon, the prescription containing castor beans will be selected, as well as the dosage.

"Let's go!" Li Mu said, leaving the shop and heading to other pharmacies.

It took half a day to visit [-] nearby pharmacies, and the source and whereabouts of the castor beans were all clear at a glance.

Hundreds of prescriptions were placed here, Li Mu was cleaning them up, and Wang Shuli was helping, and quickly cleaned them out; "What do you see?"

"Most of the prescriptions are not a big problem, but all in all, I feel that the problem is serious. Xiaocui, the maid of the Qian family, took the medicine according to the prescription and went to fifteen pharmacies. The dosage of the medicine was a bit high, especially the castor bean. Ten catties, that's too much!" Wang Shuli said.

There is no problem with the prescription, but there is a problem with the person who catches the medicine.

"The maid of the Qian family...if ten catties of castor beans are extracted, it is enough to form a highly poisonous substance!" Li Mu said: "Sure enough, there is a problem with the case! Let's go, go to the Qian family!"

Li Mu was in front, Wang Shuli was behind, and soon arrived at Qian's house.

"See you, parents and officials!" Qian Xiucai came to greet him with his family.

Li Mu entered Qian's house politely.

After the guests and hosts were seated, Qian Xiucai said: "It is said that Miss Sun's family came to the county government office and offered 3 taels of silver to clear up the grievances of father?"

"Exactly!" Li Mu said.

"Sun Jiachen is the murderer who killed his father. He has been an enemy of his father many times. The revenge of killing his father is irreconcilable!" Qian Xiucai said: "My lord, please uphold justice!"

Li Mu said: "I will not let any bad person go, nor will I wrongly wrong any good person!"

Qian Xiucai said: "It is said that the Miss Sun family said that if the lord avenges his father, she is willing to serve as a concubine for the lord..."

Li Mu shouted: "Qian Xiucai, you doubt me!"

Said, exuding a touch of coercion.

Qian Xiucai trembled, and immediately said: "Don't dare!"

Li Mudao: "If you doubt this official, you can go to the government office to sue this official, or you can go to Beijing to sue this official! This official, if you do the right thing, you will not be afraid!"

Qian Xiucai immediately knelt down on the ground and said tremblingly, "Don't dare, dare not!"

The people sue the officials, since ancient times, there has been no good end. If the lawsuit is won, the end is also very miserable. The family will be ruined for sure, and it is very likely that it will cost their own lives in the end.Even if this person is fatal and safe, he will be regarded as a troublemaker by the government, and his life will be difficult in the future.

The court decrees seem to be aimed at the disadvantaged common people, but whoever takes it seriously is a fool.

Li Mu said: "The case is complicated and the situation is unclear, so we need to think carefully! Where is the Qian family's maid named Xiaocui?"

"Xiao Cui?"

Qian Xiucai stood up and said in his heart, "My lord, wait a moment!"

After a while, Qian Xiucai panicked: "My lord, it's bad, Xiaocui is dead."
