Tianjie Taobao Store

Looking at the situation, Chu Yang knew that something must have happened in Jiuzhitang, and hurriedly walked out.

When the young apprentice outside the hospital saw Chu Yang, he knelt down and cried: "Sir, please go and save my shopkeeper, otherwise he will not survive!"

In another room, Su and Yue also heard the noise and hurriedly ran out to check.

Chu Yang took a few steps forward and asked solemnly: "What exactly happened? Please tell me slowly. Don't be in a hurry."

"Is such that……"

The young apprentice didn't dare to waste time, he didn't even bother to cry, and explained the whole story intermittently.

It turned out that early this morning, the Jiuzhitang clerk opened the store door to prepare for business. Unexpectedly, less than an hour after opening the door, a group of people broke in with sticks.

Shopkeeper Xue and his apprentices were startled when they saw it. These people were dressed in sackcloth and mourning, and had fierce expressions on their faces. They were no different from bandits.

Shopkeeper Xue was just about to step forward to ask about the situation, but unexpectedly the leader grabbed him and beat him severely. His accomplices all had extraordinary powers. In just a moment, they beat all the clerks and apprentices half to death, and even Jiuzhitang was smashed. So messy.

Outside Jiuzhi Hall, many righteous knights came forward to inquire about the situation. The leader pointed at Shopkeeper Xue and shouted angrily: "Yesterday, we were recruited by the city lord to go to the villages outside the city to track down the demons of the Wuji Sect. But who could have imagined it? I That brother discovered the Wuji Sect demon and accidentally hit the enemy's trap during the pursuit. At that time, we gave him the Jasper Pill bought by Jiuzhitang. But who would have expected that after taking the Antidote Pill, my brother not only failed to detoxify, but the toxin invaded his heart veins. He died on the spot. Jiuzhitang must bear full responsibility for my brother’s death!”

The onlookers outside the store were in an uproar. In recent days, Jiuzhitang's Jasper Pill has been extremely popular and has become famous throughout Huayang. Many people rushed to buy it for self-defense.

This group of chivalrous warriors who stood in the way had bought a few spare pills before, so they came forward today. Unexpectedly, the pill was ineffective!

Facing a group of vicious people, Shopkeeper Xue stood up with courage. He was beaten badly this time, and there was no good flesh on his body. The pain almost made him shut up. However, this matter related to the reputation of Jiuzhitang, he would not care about it no matter what. Nor can we just sit back and wait for death.

After standing up, shopkeeper Xue gasped, raised his hands and asked, "I wonder what the name of this guest is?"

"Want to know where I'm from?"

The leader snorted coldly and said to those around him: "I am from Xiaowang Village, Qixia Town, Huayang. My surname is Guo and my last name is Hanjiang. I have been making a living near Huayang for more than ten years. I think many people know me. If you know Guo , please come out as a witness and help me identify myself.”

Among the crowd, one person stood out and said to everyone: "He is indeed from Xiaowang Village. I met him once as a escort last time. He is a man who values ​​love and justice."

There was also someone nearby who matched the criteria, proving Guo Hanjiang’s identity.

Guo Hanjiang looked at Shopkeeper Xue and asked with a sneer: "What, the shopkeeper still wants to go to the government to sue me?"

When Shopkeeper Xue asked about his name, he really wanted to report it to the police. The public security in Huayang City was acceptable. No matter what the reason was, he should smash the shop and beat the innocent first. This was already considered a violation of the public security regulations. Waiting for the Criminal Division When the police come, they must arrest these guys first.

However, being directly exposed by the other party, Shopkeeper Xue had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Guo Daxia, I think there is a slight misunderstanding at this time. Our store sells Jasper Pill, which can detoxify thirteen kinds of toxins. If the poison in your friend's body is not this kind, Even if he took it, it wouldn't work, maybe that's why he died."

"Fart, he was obviously poisoned by Seven-Star Begonia, which is one of the poisons that Jasper Pill said could be cured. Why did my brother still die of poisoning after taking it?" Guo Hanjiang said angrily.

Shopkeeper Xue's expression changed. He really thought the other party had made a mistake when he said that just now, but he didn't expect that the other party actually knew what kind of poison he was poisoned with, so this matter would be a bit troublesome.

Thinking of this, Shopkeeper Xue felt a little uneasy, and even began to doubt whether the Jasper Pill could really resolve thirteen kinds of toxins as Chu Yang said.

"Master Guo, I wonder if you can let me take a look at the elixir in your hands. Please note that there are also imitations of the detoxification elixir. If you buy a counterfeit elixir, you will be killed." Shopkeeper Xue said bravely.

Guo Hanjiang's eyes were cold, he took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, showed it to everyone, and said: "This is filled with the remaining Jasper Pill, and this bottle was given by the guy. You can compare it and see what I have in my hand." Are the elixirs given by Jiuzhitang the same?"

After hearing this, everyone took out the medicine bottles and compared them with those in his hand.

"Oh, they are exactly the same!"

"Is it possible that the medicine we bought is also fake?"

"This black-hearted profiteer actually deceives people with fake medicines. Let's report him to the official!"

Shopkeeper Xue glanced to the side, and the apprentice, who was holding his stomach, nodded with difficulty, indicating that Guo Hanjiang had indeed come to buy the elixir.

"It's over!"

Shopkeeper Xue's body went limp and he almost collapsed to the ground. This Jasper Pill was probably a fake medicine, so Brother Guo Hanjiang had no effect after taking it. He was blinded by lard for a while, and chose to cooperate with Chu Yang, and got this trick for nothing. An unforeseen disaster.

However, shopkeeper Xue had a strong desire to survive. Although he had already concluded that Chu Yang had deceived him, he still refused to give up and hissed: "Guo Daxia, this elixir was indeed produced by our shop, but what exactly went wrong remains to be verified. Moreover, Daxia Guo brought people to destroy the place, but he didn’t even bring the deceased. He was talking nonsense. How do I know if he was framed? Please bring the deceased and let’s go to see the official together. This is in line with the rules!”

Everyone was reminded and looked at Guo Hanjiang. This matter was really unreasonable. It stands to reason that if you want to make trouble and claim compensation, you must at least bring the dead with you. Just a group of living people is not convincing at all!

Guo Hanjiang glanced at him and said coldly: "You can't cry without seeing the coffin. Do you really think that the government will protect you, a profiteer? To tell you the truth, I have already sent someone to take my brother's body to the Yamen. The judge will judge later. The master will definitely bring someone to get you! "

coax!

Everyone present suddenly realized that he did not bring the deceased because he wanted to report to the police to arrest people in Jiuzhitang. No wonder he was so confident. It seemed that there was indeed something wrong with Jiuzhitang's Jasper Pill!

The knights who were talking to Shopkeeper Xue just now cursed and wanted to come forward and beat him up. If Guo Hanjiang hadn't come to expose Jiuzhitang's scam, they didn't know if they would have lost their lives because of this fake elixir!

"The evil profiteer, return the goods to me!"

"Yes, I'll pay you ten for every fake one. I finally caught you this time!"

"Hurry up and refund the money, or you guys will burn this shabby store of yours down!"

People who had purchased the elixir immediately started making noises, clamoring for shopkeeper Xue to refund their money.

Seeing the excitement of the crowd, shopkeeper Xue was afraid that these people would lose their minds, so he hurriedly said to the waiter: "Go get the money and return it all to them!"

The clerk endured the pain and took out the money from the counter for a refund. During this period, he was extorted several times the compensation by a few fierce men. Shopkeeper Xue's heart was bleeding when he saw it, but there was nothing he could do if this situation continued. , I'm afraid it will really cause death.

After receiving the compensation, everyone around them was not in a hurry to leave. They stood outside the door to watch the show and witness this rare scene.

Boom boom boom!

At this time, the sound of gongs and drums suddenly came from the street.

Immediately, everyone heard shouts: "Your Majesty, the judge is handling the case, and those who are blocking the way should move away quickly!"

"The Lord Judge is here, there is a good show to watch!"

The crowd of onlookers suddenly became excited, and they all moved out of the way to let the judge's sedan pass without the police taking action.

After getting off the sedan, a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties, wearing an official uniform, walked out of the sedan.

There are a total of twenty-five cities in the Qingxu Realm. Each city is guarded by a city lord, and the candidates for the city lord are appointed by Fengtian City.

The main job of the city lord is to protect the environment and the people and collect taxes. Therefore, the city lord is usually a person with local prestige or powerful power, so that he can convince the public.

In each city, there will be a city lord's palace, and the city lord's palace governs six departments, which has similar functions to the six departments of the ancient imperial court.

Among them, the Criminal Division, one of the six divisions, is the department responsible for maintaining public security, arresting bandits, and trying criminal cases.

The highest official position in the Criminal Division is the judge.

Naturally, there is also a criminal department in Huayang City. The judge's name is Song Henian, who has served in Huayang for more than ten years.

Song Henian was experienced and had solved many major cases, and was very prestigious in Huayang City.

This morning, as soon as Song Henian arrived at the Criminal Officials Department, he heard a report from his subordinates that someone was beating drums outside the Criminal Officials Department to complain about injustice, and it was a major case involving death.

Song Henian did not dare to neglect, so he asked the plaintiff to be brought to court and the case began to be heard in court.

After the plaintiff submitted the petition, Song Henian asked Wu Zuo to examine the body. After reading the autopsy results, Song Henian concluded that this was a case in which a businessman sold counterfeit medicines, causing death.

Originally, Song Henian planned to issue an arrest warrant and have people arrest all the suspects in Jiuzhitang. But at this moment, his master hurriedly walked from the back office and handed him a note.

Song Henian was shocked after reading it. Unexpectedly, this case alarmed the city lord Yu Wenlong, and even sent his son Yu Zian to supervise the case.

At the suggestion of his master, Song Henian decided to go to Jiuzhitang in person to hear the case openly in front of the people, in order to deter these illegal and evil businessmen and show his determination to the city lord.

The master's suggestion is not to make a fuss. Recently, the remnants of the Wuji Sect have been raging around Huayang City, causing a lot of casualties to Huayang. The people are all in danger, fearing that they will be poisoned by the demons of the Wuji Sect, so they are rushing to buy detoxification products. Pills for emergencies.

The medicine store took the opportunity to raise the price of the elixir. Yu Wenlong had no way to stop it, so he could only acquiesce in the other party's behavior. However, at such a critical moment, there were unscrupulous merchants selling fake detoxification elixirs. This was definitely something that violated the bottom line. .

No matter how much he could bear it, Yu Wenlong didn't want to see the people under his rule being harmed by this gang of profiteers, so he made up his mind to scare the monkeys and give a warning to all profiteers, and Jiuzhitang inevitably became the first target of flag sacrifice.

Song Henian fully understood the intention of the city lord, and he did not mind mobilizing troops and mobilizing a large number of people. He directly summoned all the detectives from the Criminal Division and led a mighty team out of the Yamen.
