Zhang and Hu Erping received their due punishment for their evil deeds and will be executed at a later date.
Old Mrs. Hu cried and screamed, it was like she was experiencing the death of her son twice in one day.
But no one had any sympathy for her. After all, her son was a murderer, and she helped to conceal it even after knowing the truth.
Maybe because she was too sad, she didn’t even notice the Xia family members standing at the door.
The county magistrate had already announced the adjournment of the court, and the onlookers left one after another. At this moment, Xia Zhiliao ran in.
"Stop!" the bailiff shouted and stood in front of Xia Zhiliao.
The county magistrate glanced at it and thought it was just someone's child running around, and didn't take it seriously.
Unexpectedly, the little girl knelt down after seeing him.
He stopped and thought it was interesting. "Whose child are you? Where are your parents? Did they leave you behind?"
"Master, we are here, we are not left behind."
Xia Jinjun quickly winked at Xia Zhiliao, "Zhiliao, come back soon!"
But Xia Zhiliao not only did not leave, but also kowtowed to the county magistrate.
The county magistrate laughed and asked, "Why are you kneeling down to me?"
[You helped my uncle get revenge and dealt with the bad guys. I want to thank you. ]
When the Xia family heard what the little girl said, they all knelt down. They were so excited just now that they forgot about this.
"This is..." The county magistrate was confused, "What injustice is there?"
He wanted to go home early, why is he doing this again?
Xia Jinjun quickly replied, "Sir, my brother was the ex-husband who was killed by Hu Zhang. You have redressed our family's injustice, and it is only right for us to kneel down and pay homage to you."
The county magistrate nodded slightly and then smiled. Fortunately, he didn't have to try the case. He was really scared. "So that's it."
His eyes fell on the first little girl who knelt down to worship him, "You are a good child. What's your name?"
He just asked casually, but the little girl shook her head and didn't answer.
"My Lord, I am ill and cannot speak."
"Hiss..." The county magistrate looked at the little girl with a bit more pity and regret. This child was the fastest to react in the family. "Go back. Your brother can rest in peace now. Why didn't you report the case earlier?"
"My Lord, my brother fell into the riverbank and his body was not found. We always thought it was an accident. My mother treated Hu Zhang as her own daughter. It was a pity that she was widowed at a young age. She didn't want to... Thank you very much, my Lord."
The county magistrate nodded, looked at Xia Zhiliao deeply, and let the Xia family go back.
…
When passing through the town, Xia Jinheng asked the driver to stop immediately.
"Old Four, where are you going now?" asked Old Mrs. Xia.
"Mother, look at you, why are you guarding me like a thief? I'm not doing anything bad. I'm going to do something and ask for some reward money. Come on, let's go with Fourth Uncle."
"Just go if you want to. Why take her with you?"
"Zhiliao must go." Xia Jinheng picked up Xia Zhiliao, then put her on his neck, and the uncle and nephew ran away laughing.
"This fourth brother is so mysterious. What kind of jars is he selling?" Xia Jinyu asked puzzledly.
Old Lady Xia was in a good mood today and happened to have some money in her arms. "Who cares? He deserves credit for being able to avenge your eldest brother this time. Third brother, take this money and buy a jar of wine. Let's go back and celebrate today."
"Okay!" Xia Jinyu took the money and strode away.
In Chuncaotang.
Xia Jinheng pointed at the counter with a few fingers and winked at the boss, "What do you think? You were right to listen to me, right? If it weren't for me, your shop would have been involved in a murder lawsuit."
"Yes, yes, Brother Xia, it has to be you. Fortunately, you reminded me, otherwise my little shop would be in big trouble."
Although the owner of Sun's Pharmacy could no longer recognize Zhang and Hu Erping, many people knew that the poison was bought from them, which still affected his business.
And Chuncaotang, thanks to Xia Jinheng's reminder, replaced the poison with the recipe given by Xia Zhiliao and escaped the disaster.
How could the boss not be grateful?
"Brother Xia, you are my biological brother. If your family needs medicine in the future, just come to me. I will never charge you any money."
Xia Jinheng rolled his eyes at him, "What are you talking about? Are you cursing our family?"
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant. I meant..."
"Okay, this is a hero."
As he spoke, Xia Jinheng picked up the little girl and placed her on the counter.
The boss didn't take it seriously, thinking that Xia Jinheng was just a jerk and was joking with him. "Honestly, Brother Xia, where did you get that prescription? I think it's quite interesting. This medicine can make a person look like they're dead, but not dead. This... this... this is so interesting!"
Xia Jinheng snorted, "Want to get my prescription?"
"No, no, no, I'm just curious, is there any expert in your family?"
[It's over, Fourth Uncle, please don't tell me that I said that. People won't believe it. I don't want to cause trouble for myself.]
Xia Jinheng thought that the little girl was quite low-key. "Don't worry about it. If you really want to know, then read more books."
It never hurts to let people read.
"No, Brother Xia, let's discuss this..."
Xia Jinheng raised his hand, "No, this is a secret recipe, not to be passed on to others. Let me put it this way, my niece has a minor illness, and she may have to come to you for medicine in the future..."
"I understand. Don't worry. With me here, our niece's medicine is free."
Xia Jinheng chuckled, "Okay, then I'll thank you on behalf of my niece. By the way, my niece also likes to play with the silver needle you use..."
"Yes, yes, I have them all here. I just happen to have a new set. I'll give it to my niece to play with."
“This…is not good!”
"We're one family, don't be polite." The boss knew that Xia Jinheng was here to blackmail him, but he accepted it as it was better to spend a small amount of money to avoid a big disaster.
"Don't think I'm taking advantage of you." Xia Jinheng patted his shoulder, "You never know when you'll need me again in the future."
"That's right." The boss was still very curious about where Xia Jinheng got that mysterious recipe.
It's a pity that he didn't get any useful information out of Xia Jinheng, but there is still a long way to go.
Xia Jinheng carried Xia Zhiliao out. Xia Zhiliao felt for a moment that her legs were useless, because when her father and uncles were around, she didn't have to walk at all.
"Are you happy, little girl?"
Xia Zhiliao nodded, holding the silver needle box as if it were a treasure, "You are a great contributor to our family. You can make do with this broken thing. When Fourth Uncle makes money in the future, I will buy you a gold one."
Xia Zhiliao smiled and hugged his neck.
[It’s true that my fourth uncle is slick, but it’s also true that he loves me and is quick to react. He didn’t even mention that the recipe came from me, and he even knew how to protect me.]
Xia Jinheng was also very happy when he saw the little girl's happy face.
Suddenly, he saw a familiar figure, and his eyes suddenly flashed with golden light.
