Chapter 69 Chapter 69 Are there fake Hehuan pills? ...
The matter of the account book could not be concealed for even half an hour.
Jiang Yan calmly fed the horses, patted their necks, and strolled back to the main courtyard. He then turned around and found Gu Jingyun and told him what happened.
After one stick of incense.
Just as Manager Cao hid the problematic account book under the bed, a group of Tianlang Guards kicked open his door and rushed in.
Manager Cao panicked: "My Lords, what's going on? What happened?"
Song Hua said coldly: "Manager Cao, someone reported you for falsifying accounts and accepting bribes."
"Absolutely impossible! Who is framing me?!" Shopkeeper Cao shouted, "I am loyal to the young master and would never do such a thing to deceive my superiors and subordinates!"
"Whether it is there or not, we'll know after we check." Song Hua shouted, "Search for me!"
The Heavenly Wolf Guards rushed forward and turned the house upside down. Shopkeeper Cao tried to make a final struggle, but Song Hua kicked him in the knee and pinned him to the ground by two Heavenly Wolf Guards.
Shopkeeper Cao watched helplessly as his private account books were turned out, his eyes filled with despair.
You shouldn’t!
The young master was fine yesterday. When he checked the accounts, he just flipped through the account book in the inn, glanced at the monthly surplus, and put it down, too lazy to look at it again.
Since you had passed this hurdle at that time, why did you suddenly have the urge to investigate him?
Which bastard reported him!
Shopkeeper Cao was so angry that his teeth were itching. He first suspected the waiter who hid the account book for him, but then he thought that they were ants on the same boat, and he had the leverage over the waiter, so the other party would not dare to betray him.
Then, he thought of a series of people who knew the truth or had grudges against him.
Corruption is a serious crime, let alone who would dare to covet the money of the Young Master of the Sword Sect.
In the mortal world, if a servant committed a serious offense, no one would do anything about it, even if he was punished or sold off. If he broke the law, he would be escorted to the government by his master, where he would be tortured to death.
Although he is now a mortal, he is working for the immortals. Being betrayed is a small matter. If he is beheaded...
The imperial court and the immortal cultivators do not interfere with each other, so they would not risk their lives to care about the life and death of a servant!
Shopkeeper Cao was trembling all over, his legs were weak, and he didn't even have the strength to stand up straight, let alone walk.
He was almost carried by the Sirius Guards, carried all the way to Gu Jingyun.
The Sirius Guards threw Manager Cao to the middle and clapped their hands.
"Young Master, the person has been brought here."
Manager Cao knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately.
"Master, I am innocent! Please listen to my explanation! Master!"
Gu Jingyun sat at the top, slowly wiping the sword with a soft cloth, letting Manager Cao cry out for justice without even batting an eyelid.
Jiang Yan deliberately sat in the corner, hiding behind the screen.
A Heavenly Wolf Guard quietly came over, holding three or four plates in one hand like an acrobat. There were different kinds of melon seeds and cut watermelon with silver sticks, and a pot of tea in his right hand.
"My Lord, I understand the traditional customs of the Hehuan Sect. How can we miss fruits and vegetables at this time?" The Heavenly Wolf Guard grinned and proudly took credit for it in a low voice.
Jiang Yan: “…”
The Hehuan Sect must crack melon seeds and eat watermelon when watching gossip. Has this unwritten rule spread?
Jiang Yan hid in the corner because he didn't want to interfere with Gu Jingyun's handling of the servants.
I didn't originally plan to eat melon seeds.
In that case...
Jiang Yan reached out and grabbed a handful of melon seeds, and gave a thumbs up to the Tianlang Guard to express his admiration. The Tianlang Guard patted his chest happily, saying that he would leave everything to him, and Immortal Lord, you can rest assured!
The interrogation is going on in the hall.
Even the waiter who helped the shopkeeper hide the account book was arrested, and his residence was searched thoroughly, even his underwear was taken away.
The Sirius Guards are efficient and effective in their work.
Song Hua quickly presented the evidence he had found to Gu Jingyun.
"I found ten taels of gold and two high-quality spirit stones in the second room. They were all rewards for helping the shopkeeper conceal the false accounts."
"In Manager Cao's bedroom, in addition to several privately hidden account books, my subordinates also found a Qiankun bag. There is a barrier inside, and only the owner can open it." Song Hua said.
"Break it open."
Gu Jingyun said calmly as he flipped through the account book with no expression on his face.
Shopkeeper Cao’s face turned pale.
A circle of red light appeared in Song Hua's palm. He drew a talisman with his hand, and runes with drifting characters appeared in the void. Those characters overlapped and overlapped, which was extremely mysterious and contained tremendous power.
The Heavenly Wolf Guard leaned close to Jiang Yan's ear and whispered, "Commander Song was once a disciple of the Wanfa Sect and is very good at formations."
Jiang Yan munched on melon seeds and listened to the explanation.
Song Hua just shouted softly, and the characters gathered together and condensed into a short sword made up of countless Chinese characters.
The tip of the sword pierced into the Qiankun bag.
There is a crisp sound of "ding——".
Then there was a moment of silence, and a red light suddenly burst out from the tip of the sword. Spiritual power suddenly rushed into the Qiankun bag, violently tearing open the blocked barrier formation!
Shopkeeper Cao suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood, his breath became much weaker and he looked listless.
Jiang Yan asked quietly: "Isn't he a mortal? Why can he still use the Qiankun bag?"
"My Lord, you haven't tested his meridians. Manager Cao does have spiritual power in his body, although only a little bit."
The Heavenly Wolf Guard pinched two fingers and gestured, "It's just a little bit. I guess he relied on his status as a shopkeeper and took drugs every day to get it. That little bit of spiritual power is only enough to use the Qiankun bag to make himself stronger than ordinary people. He is no different from ordinary people."
Jiang Yan nodded: "I see."
In the center of the main hall, Song Hua used his spiritual vision to take a look and reported:
"In the Qiankun bag, there are ten thousand taels of gold and silver, thousands of high-quality spirit stones, a number of medium and low-quality spirit stones, and a number of different kinds of elixirs."
Jiang Yan almost couldn't hold the watermelon in his hand.
How many?
This is too rich.
Shopkeeper Cao's face was pale and his lips were trembling.
Song Hua handed the Qiankun bag to Gu Jingyun.
Gu Jingyun tossed the Qiankun bag up and down.
"You've made a lot of money in this position." The man said indifferently, "You've made ten thousand taels of gold, but you only gave ten taels to your men. Isn't that too stingy?"
The waiter's face also looked unhappy.
That's right! I knew the shopkeeper was greedy, but I didn't expect him to be this greedy.
He asked him to risk his life, but he hid a mountain of gold and only gave him ten taels! !
"Young Master, please have mercy! I have been a servant of the Gu family since I was a child. I have worked for the Yuyuan Chamber of Commerce and the Young Master for fifty years. I have always been cautious and respectful, and I have never made any mistakes."
"I have been bewildered for a moment and have taken the wrong path. I am willing to hand over all the money I have embezzled to you, young master, and I am willing to accept the rest of the punishment. I only ask you to spare my life, young master, for the sake of my hard work, even though I have no merits!"
Shopkeeper Cao didn't even use the term "villain" to describe himself. He was extremely humble and kowtowed vigorously.
"How did you get all that money?" Gu Jingyun asked.
Shopkeeper Cao hesitated for a few seconds and said, "Sometimes they secretly raise the price and take an extra layer, and the extra money does not go into the public account."
"They also secretly sell elixirs and tools in Chunshui Lane. The girls and young masters there do very good business, and the demand for such things is far from enough."
Jiang Yan asked the "narrator" beside him: "Where is Chunshui Lane?"
Sirius Guard: “…”
Can you say this?
The Sirius Guard just opened his mouth, but when he received the young master's intentional or unintentional glance, he immediately closed his mouth.
Jiang Yan expressed confusion with his eyes.
The Wolf Guard wiped his sweat and said, "This, this... I don't know either."
Jiang Yan looked the Sirius Guard up and down suspiciously, and only withdrew his gaze when he almost made the man cry.
"Okay." Jiang Yan snorted coldly and reached for the teacup. "If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me."
The Sirius Guard heaved a sigh of relief and actively helped him pour tea and water, smiling in a very servile manner that made people unable to bear to look at him.
Gu Jingyun also breathed a sigh of relief on the other end.
While paying attention to Jiang Yan's movements, he listened to Manager Cao talking about how he acted as a middleman and used the Yuyuan Chamber of Commerce's channels to sell aphrodisiac pills to Chunshui Lane.
The Yuyuan Chamber of Commerce boasts that it has everything in the world.
Everyone who comes is a guest, even in Chunshui Lane.
Why sell it secretly?
Gu Jingyun frowned: "What kind of pills are you selling?"
Shopkeeper Cao: "It's the Hehuan Pill."
"???"
Jiang Yan almost spit out his tea.
Jiang Yan raised his voice slightly and said, "The Hehuan Sect has always limited the quantity and sales channels of Hehuan Pills. Where did you get the goods from? Was it a formal channel?"
Shopkeeper Cao recognized that it was Jiang Yan's voice, and knowing the position Jiang Yan held in the young master's heart, he did not dare to neglect him.
He turned around with difficulty and said to the figure behind the screen:
"To answer the Immortal Lord, of course not. The Hehuan Pill is not useful in terms of entertainment..."
Gu Jingyun interrupted coldly: "Pick up the important things and tell me!"
Shopkeeper Cao was stunned for a moment, and then he shuddered at the young master's murderous intent.
"Yes... yes, young master." Shopkeeper Cao cut off the beginning and the end and said timidly, "The Hehuan Pill was secretly given to me by a disciple of the Hehuan Sect. I sold it privately at ten times the price and split the profit with him 50-50."
Jiang Yan: “…”
Someone is actually secretly selling Junior Master's medicine.
The rule is that if you sell without permission, you will be fined ten times the amount you paid.
I have sold mountains of gold, silver and spiritual stones. How much should I be fined?
"Where's the Hehuan Pill?" Jiang Yan said, "Bring a bottle here so I can take a look."
Shopkeeper Cao was stunned for a moment again.
Jiang Xianjun was cold and aloof, like a pure white fairy in the sky. He seemed untainted by the mundane world and no one dared to put him together with anything colorful like Huanhao.
"What are you standing there for?" Jiang Yan urged.
Shopkeeper Cao nodded and said, "My Lord, the elixir is in the hands of the young master."
Gu Jingyun: “…”
Song Hua coughed lightly and said, "Sorry, Master, I didn't look carefully at the information of each pill just now."
Gu Jingyun's spiritual vision sank into it, and in just a moment he had detected the information of all the objects in the bag and memorized it in his mind.
Accurately find the pills among the messy pile and take out one from the pile of Hehuan Pills.
Before the Heavenly Wolf Guards could pass the message into the screen, Jiang Yan walked out of the screen by himself.
I hid at the back because I was afraid that chewing melon seeds would affect the atmosphere, but now I don't have the leisure to do that.
Jiang Yan strode over, picked up the round pill, looked at it again and again, gradually frowned, and his brows were full of confusion.
He took out a jade bottle from the Sumeru Ring, poured out a round and plump pill into his palm, and put the two together for a closer look.
But they didn't dare to smell it carefully. They held their breath, took a few quick glances, and then put them back.
The two servants kneeling on the ground were dumbfounded.
No, the immortal who is as cold and pure as a lotus actually has the Hehuan Pill in his hand?
He looked like he was very familiar with it.
Where did the Immortal Lord come from?
Jiang Yan put down the pill, his expression was very complicated, and he seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Gu Jingyun asked: "Ayan, is there anything wrong?"
"The pill in the shopkeeper's hand is not the Hehuan Pill, it just looks similar." Jiang Yan said speechlessly, "Shopkeeper Cao must have been deceived by that Hehuan Sect disciple."
Shopkeeper Cao: "I'm selling fake medicine?!"
Jiang Yan nodded: "It looks similar, but it's not. It's a high-quality imitation."
The junior master uncle knew that there were fake products, and was afraid that people would take the wrong medicine, so he taught everyone how to tell them apart at a glance from the appearance.
It seems that the disciple was also afraid of being punished by the sect, so he didn't dare to sell the real medicine. He hid behind the scenes and secretly sold the fake medicine...
Jiang Yan said with certainty: "It is indeed a fake."
Shopkeeper Cao was horrified.
The waiter at the side couldn't help but say, "No way, Immortal Lord. I've taken that elixir, it's very nourishing, and I feel energetic all night long!"
Jiang Yan was bewildered: "A night of energy? I've never heard that the Hehuan Pill can cause insomnia."
Song Hua and others were very frightened.
Are you trying to kill yourself by saying these things in front of the Immortal Lord?
"Filthy words!" Gu Jingyun's face turned pale and he shouted, "Shut up and throw him out!"
The Sirius Guards quickly did as they were told.
"Song Hua, go and interrogate him. See what he has done." Gu Jingyun said impatiently, "According to the previous rules, punish him as he should be punished."
Song Hua took the order and left.
Shopkeeper Cao trembled and said, "Young Master, where is this old servant?"
Gu Jingyun: "You stay here, and answer whatever the Immortal Lord asks."
"All proceeds from corruption shall be confiscated, and a fine of ten times shall be imposed, and the manager shall be removed from his position. Ten strokes of the cane shall be imposed."
This is already a show of mercy, but a tenfold penalty is still very painful, and I don't know when I can pay it off.
At least I saved my life.
Shopkeeper Cao comforted himself and said with tears in his eyes: "Thank you, young master!"
Jiang Yan asked about the details of the transaction between Manager Cao and the disciple, and then asked, "Where is that person?"
Manager Cao: "All disciples of the He Huan Sect are guests of honor in Chun Shui Lane. He should be enjoying himself in a restaurant in Chun Shui Lane."
Jiang Yan decided to go find him.
It’s not okay to sell fake goods.
If it is discovered, it will ruin the reputation of Junior Master.
