Lady forced to seek prince

Chapter 61 Don't Let It Go

The pharmacy stewards did not dare to neglect, they responded and immediately went to check the ginseng.

At this moment, footsteps sounded again, and Tan Zheng raised his head and saw the county lieutenant walking in.

Tan Zheng had heard before that Ding Yachai and Gao Xianwei were on good terms, and the two often drank together. Sure enough, Ding Yachai invited Gao County Wei.

If the yacha and the others can still deal with it, the county magistrate arrives, and everyone can only bow their heads and obey.

The crowd stepped forward to salute the county magistrate.

The county magistrate personally supported Song Taiye: "Master doesn't have to do this."

After finishing speaking, he went to appease the Zhao Luoyang sister and brother: "It's fine, if there is any grievance, just tell me that the government office will make the decision for you."

Zhao Luoyang said, "Thank you, Lord County Commander."

"Sir." Ding Yacha stepped forward to report the matter to Gao Xianwei. Tan Zheng robbed the medicinal materials and bullied the three children, all of which they saw.

After saying this, Ding Yachai looked at Zhao Luoyang: "Before the Zhao family girl sells medicine, please ask the clerk of the government office to help write a deed, sir, you can take a look."

Ding Yachai didn't know about the book deed, but Gao Xianwei knew when he saw the handwriting, it was written by his own book official.

The evidence is all there, and it seems clear to Ding Yachai.

He sketched the whole process in his mind.

When the Zhao siblings brought the medicinal materials to the pharmacy to inquire about the price, Tan Zheng had a bad idea and wanted to cheat the medicinal materials in the hands of the Zhao siblings, so he asked the staff to stare at the Zhao siblings secretly, and waited until the Zhao siblings took the medicinal materials and came out of the government office. When the time came, they went to stop it.

Everyone in Guangrentang even coaxed and deceived the Zhao siblings into the back hall of the pharmacy. After they bought ginseng, they also wanted to deceive Baishu. Unexpectedly, the girl from the Zhao family had prepared a deed, so Steward Tan would not leave any evidence of writing and ink. Seeing this, the girl was about to leave with Bai Zhu, so Steward Tan ordered his staff to snatch the herbs from the Zhao family girl.

Ding Yacha made a lot of sweat for the Zhao brothers and sisters, thanks to their arrival in time, otherwise the three children would definitely suffer.

Such a good child, and the niece he just recognized, was almost deceived right under his nose.

He must have a bad breath for the Zhao siblings.

Ding Ya said: "When we rushed over, the Zhao family girl was holding the basket, and the remaining two children were pushed to the ground by the staff."

When Zhao Yuanji heard this, his face tightened and he lowered his head.He was wrong. He was the one who pulled everyone's back. If it wasn't for him, Ding Yachai wouldn't have to lie.

Tan Zheng looked at Ding Yachai in surprise. This Ding Yachai was obviously partial in his words. How much bribe did the Zhao family give to make Ding Yachai speak for them like this?
Tan Zheng opened his mouth and said, "Lord Xianwei, that's not the case."

Ding Yachai glanced at Tan Zheng: "Although we have all seen it with our own eyes, this guy just refuses to admit it, and instead says that the ginseng sold to him by the girl from the Zhao family is fake, so I can only ask a few pharmacies to buy it. The stewards come to identify the medicinal materials."

The county captain's gaze fell directly on the stewards invited by Ding Yachai.

The stewards have been surrounding the ginseng on the table. They first looked at it separately, then gathered together to discuss and pointed at the ginseng.

The county lieutenant remained silent, and Tan Zheng took a tentative step forward. He wanted to approach the county lieutenant to speak, but the county lieutenant stretched out his hand and stopped Tan Zheng, apparently unwilling to talk to Tan Zheng.

The county commander said, "We'll talk about it after the ginseng test is over."

If the ginseng is fake, Tan Zheng is naturally not in a hurry, he is afraid that the ginseng is real, and he will not be able to tell clearly then.Tan Zheng understood, but obviously the county magistrate did not give him a chance.

After a long while, the manager of the pharmacy came forward and reported to the county magistrate: "After I looked carefully, I think this is Shangdang's ginseng, which is more than 30 years old. If you are still not at ease, you can invite more people to come." Check."

When Ding Yachai heard this, a smile immediately appeared in his eyes, and he said that this person is not good enough.The Zhao family's niece almost took her life to save someone, so how could she use fake medicine to harm others?In fact, he had already thought about it, even if the ginseng was fake, he would have to ask the Zhao family's niece the origin of the ginseng, and it was impossible to say that she was also deceived.

Ding Yachai instructed the steward: "Go and weigh yourself again and see how many ginsengs there are."

The three took out their own steel scales and weighed them one by one. This time it was much faster than before.

After the weighing, among the three people, one person spoke back and forth again: "These Shangdang ginsengs are a whole kilogram."

The smile in Ding Yachai's eyes deepened, but when he swept towards Tan Zheng, his eyes were as sharp as knives.

Lieutenant Gao asked, "Is it accurate?"

The steward replied: "It's accurate."

Ding Ya said: "Before steward Tan called these ginsengs, but he said that they were one or two short, less than a kilogram."

Only then did Lieutenant Gao turn to look at Tan Zheng: "Steward Tan, tell me why everyone weighs a pound, but when they weigh it, they say it's a tad shorter?"

Tan Zheng didn't speak, he made a wrong step and made a wrong step. He couldn't doubt that people from other pharmacies were wrong, and even he himself couldn't be sure whether there was really a problem with the ginseng.

Tan Zheng's forehead was covered in cold sweat: "Maybe we weighed it wrong."

"Weighed it wrong?" Ding Yachai said coldly, "Your huge pharmacy can even mispronounce a single medicinal material? That's 22 guan ginseng per catty."

Tan Zheng had nothing to say.

"Who called ginseng, stand up." Gao Xianwei said, his eyes swept over the faces of the drugstore clerk and others.

Master Jiao, who was standing in the crowd, ducked back subconsciously.

"You," Ding Yachao and Gao Xianwei were in the same office, and they had a tacit understanding, and immediately pointed to Master Jiao, "It's you, come here."

Master Jiao raised his head, and his face was full of panic: "Big... adults... villains... villains always follow the orders of the stewards."

Tan Zheng took a deep breath, and then said to Gao Xianwei: "Sir, I see that these ginseng trees are not dry enough, and I am afraid that they will be short after I buy them, so I don't count them. I have some methods of my own, the price of ginseng I gave is not low, and it is not a deliberate deception."

"Isn't that deceiving?" Gao Xianwei's voice carried a bit of power, "A pound of ginseng, you are one or two short, and now you have been exposed, but you still do not admit that you are wrong. It can be seen that this kind of thing is often done on weekdays. Act."

After Gao Xianwei finished speaking, he looked at Ding Yachai: "Go and call the clerk in the Yamen to come to the pharmacy's account."

When Gao Xianwei said this, Steward Tan's face changed completely.

"Sir, what's the matter?"

The shopkeeper who was hiding next to him didn't want to come forward. He heard that he wanted to check the accounts of the entire pharmacy, so he hurriedly appeared.That drugstore has no secrets?There will be problems with more or less accounts, and the entire pharmacy cannot be pulled out because of one small incident.

The shopkeeper stepped forward to salute Gao Xianwei, and then looked at Tan Zheng: "It's a waste of my trust in you to leave the pharmacy business to you, and you actually do such a thing. These are the relocated people, and they are still three children. , you even cheated them... Guangrentang's reputation for treating illnesses and saving people for decades will be destroyed in your hands."

"In front of the county lieutenant, let me say this, even if you always refuse to tell the truth, the entire Guangrentang will help the government office, check it out, and will never cover up for you."

The shopkeeper's meaning was clear to Tan Zheng, if Guang Ren Tang was involved in today's affairs, Guang Ren Tang would certainly not be able to spare him.

Tan Zheng's heart was cold, he finally lowered his head and knelt on the ground with his legs bent: "I tell the county magistrate, it's all a villain who is obsessed for a while. The villain bought ginseng at a high price to trick this sister and brother into selling Baizhu to me. , but...the price of ginseng is too high, so I thought of playing tricks on the scale."

"After doing so much, I just wanted to buy Baizhu. I didn't expect that the girl from the Zhao family would not sell it again. The villain was anxious for a while, so he tried to grab the medicinal materials. It was all the villain's fault. ."

The shopkeeper was also busy at this time: "It was my negligence that something like this happened. I heard that the relocated people encountered bandits on their way and someone was injured. Guangrentang would like to donate a few bottles of trauma medicine and medicinal materials that can be used in peacetime. , as compensation."

A few bottles of trauma medicine and medicinal materials were considered unexpected gains, but Zhao Luoyang did not forget the big net he cast before.

Zhao Luoyang seemed to suddenly remember something, she looked at Gao Xianwei: "Lord Xianwei, Manager Tan said before that our ginseng is one or two short, I didn't believe it originally, so I told him that if he lied to me , you will pay me four taels of silver, I wonder if this counts?"

The corners of Shi Jiu's mouth rose involuntarily, she's here again!Even a penny can't be spared, right?

Tan Zheng clenched his fists.

Zhao Luoyang received a prompt.
