Chapter 178
A few days later.
The letters sent from Pu'an County quickly arrived at Xingyuan Mansion and entered the Inspection Department.
This letter was written in the official system, and the post and horse were still used.
The official who delivered the letter stated that the person who delivered the letter held a token of the Maozhou Army and was the son of the envoy of the Maozhou Army.
With this identity, the letter naturally came into the hands of the inspector smoothly.
However, what was written in the letter was not that the Shen Family Jishi Tang deliberately raised the price of medicine in Pu'an Branch, causing the people to suffer misery, but it stated in detail that the father of Shen Peiqian, a branch of the Shen Family, colluded with the Pu'an County Magistrate to set up a business. private bribery.
He also cited evidence of guilt, which is not nonsense.
Where does such evidence come from, we have to start with Xu Yi, who must have contributed to this.
No, maybe it’s Pang Game’s credit.
When Xu Yi knew that he could not move the other party by himself, he thought of Pang Boyi's connections and power. Even though he didn't want to borrow it, he thought over and over again and chose to compromise.
Just as he thought, Pang Gamei responded quickly after receiving his letter.
Not only did he get a reply, but he also got him a big gift.
That gift is the evidence that can directly overthrow the other party.
...
A few days later, Xu Yi came to the Lin family as usual to visit Aunt Ming and Uncle Lin.
Xu Yi led a group of others into the main room, and after letting A Xu and others do as they pleased, he talked to Lady Ming and others who were waiting for him.
Mrs. Ming's face was filled with joy and she shouted happily: "Brother Yi, have you heard the news? The state inspector came to Pu'an and arrested the county magistrate."
"I also happened to know that ." Xu Yi smiled and responded as if he didn't know anything.
Lin Lang felt that there was no pain in his body anymore. He moved his arms and said, "It's great to congratulate me. This is the saying, 'Anyone who commits unjust acts will be punished by his own death.' The inspection master is indeed Mr. Qingtian."
Xu Yi nodded and agreed . Said: "Yes."
The joy on Mrs. Ming's face did not diminish, she was so happy that her eyebrows curved, and she said briskly: "The shopkeeper of Jishitang is also in jail. I heard from my boss that there are many government officials who will Jishi." The hall was sealed, and a lot of gold, silver and jewelry were confiscated from the Shen family."
As for how many were confiscated, Lady Ming and the people in the city did not know.
However, Xu Yi knew part of the inside story. Zhenmu told him, and he knew about it one day earlier than Madam Ming.
The shopkeeper of a small branch of Jishitang actually found hundreds of thousands of silver coins.
If this number were spread, I am afraid it would alarm many people.
Xu Yi showed a cooperative expression of surprise, causing Madam Ming to cover her face and laugh.
"I know you don't know, but there are many things going on here." Madam Ming said, "It's strange that the boss of my embroidery shop would remind us today not to watch the excitement. Among the people who were said to be arrested, there were more than just these. A few. "
Other families only regard it as a lively event. The Lin family is the victim, so they are naturally happier than other families.
Madam Ming also specifically inquired about the whole story, and was eager to tell Xu Yi.
Speaking of the latter part, Mrs. Ming couldn't help crying and laughing at the same time.
Lin Lang coughed twice and said uncomfortably: "Okay, okay, how unbecoming is it to cry in front of juniors."
Even though he said this, at his age, he was almost in tears.
God really has the vision to get rid of such evil people.
Xu Yi took out the handkerchief and handed it to Mrs. Ming: "Aunt Ming, this is a good thing. From now on, no other pharmacy in Pu'an will dare to set such a price."
Mrs. Ming blushed and took it from him in embarrassment. He wiped his eyes with his handkerchief and nodded in agreement.
Of course, because Jishitang was suddenly ransacked... some wealthy families in the city were dissatisfied.
Those wealthy families who had done business with Jishitang saw that Jishitang collapsed and saw that the money they invested had not been recovered, and all the money was wasted!
But this matter is handled by the Inspector personally. He is the Inspection Department, and he has the right to kill first and report later. As long as the evidence of the crime is conclusive, the people involved will not be spared.
Soon, the wealthy families who had contact with Jishitang became in danger one after another.
Some even made a fool of themselves and gave gifts to the Inspection Department. All the gifts were accepted, but no news was received at all.
However, within a few days, the person who should be punished was still punished...
How this happened had nothing to do with Xu Yi. After he learned that Maki and others were leaving, he went outside the city to say goodbye to them.
Zhenmu cupped his fists and said: "Brother Xu, I'm afraid it will be difficult to see you again after we say goodbye. I forgot to say something to you that day, but I can remember it these days."
Xu Yi was a little curious and asked him. What words.
Zhenmu said that Li Ji mentioned it in a conversation one time, and he said: "Brother Riji told me that if he had the chance, he would be a good doctor and let you know that he has not forgotten what you said."
Although I don't know what the words were, but after saying these words, Zhenmu looked at Xu Yi's changing expression. For some reason, the dissatisfaction of not being treated equally slowly dissipated.
Li Ji has already left, and if he continues to care about these things, it seems that he is not a man enough.
Xu Yi understood clearly that it seemed that Li Ji left Jishi Hall voluntarily.
He thought that maybe there was something written by Dr. Yan in it.
Knowing that nothing happened to Li Ji, Xu Yi breathed a sigh of relief. He took out the pills he had concocted in the past few days and presented them to Zhen Mu.
Zhenmu opened it doubtfully, saw the pills inside, and was stunned when he smelled the smell.
He said in shock: "How come your pills... are so similar to those prepared by Doctor Yan?"
Xu Yi said: "Because they come from the same source, they are similar."
Zhenmu stuffed the bag containing the pills into his arms. He smiled and said, "I like this thing. If Brother Xu wants anything, you can take it."
Xu Yi shook his head, he didn't want anything.
Zhenmu did not leave directly, but took out the scimitar from his waist and handed it to him: "For your defense."
After that, he turned over and rode away on horseback.
The vast number of carriages and horses raised dust all over the sky. When the dust cleared, several carriages and horses were already far away.
Xu Yi lowered his eyes and looked at the scimitar in his hand, with a smile on his face.
...
Yanting.
Pang Boyi and Pan Wenji had a long conversation in the corridor pavilion, and when they talked about Xu Yi, they couldn't help but smile at each other.
Pan Wenji looked at his friend's increasingly rosy color, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "You still have a good eye for recognizing people. This kid has been running away for several months, and he has given you these health pills."
Talking about the latter, Pan Wenji was a little jealous. He was obviously the one behind the scenes, but in the end, all the credit was taken away by Pang Gamei.
Pang Boyi pretended not to see the look in his eyes, shook his head and said: "No, if it is really good, there is no need to not even get a master."
Pan Wenji: "..."
He chuckled: "Anyway, he shouted Call me sir."
Pang Boyi said, "Okay, I think you're wronged. This time Brother Yi sent something from Pu'an and brought you a copy."
Pan Wenji raised his eyebrows and said while stroking his beard . : "Oh, what are they?"
Pang Boyi: "Wine."
Pan Wenji narrowed his eyes, "What kind of wine?"
Pang Boyi looked at Uncle Pang who was sitting not far away. Uncle Pang immediately got up and left. He slowly replied to Pan Wenji and said, "It's Eucommia wine and Bazhen wine."
"Aren't these two kinds of wine also available in Yanting?" Pan Wenji said, "Is there something different about these two wines brewed by this guy?"
he asked . After that, Uncle Pang brought a basket of medicinal wine. There was a lot of medicinal wine, eight bottles in total, all of which were given to Pan Wenji by Pang Boyi.
Pan Wenji's eyes showed a look of satisfaction, this kid finally got the idea.
Uncle Pang said with a smile: "Pan Langjun is absolutely right. Xu Xiaolang has really made a lot of progress during his travels. The medicinal wine he sent this time was specially prepared for Pan Langjun. What he said in the letter, when asked if you still So tough, I concocted it for you based on what I have known for several months."
As soon as he said this, Pan Wenji was surprised: "Really?"
Uncle Pang's smile did not change: "It is true."
He showed Pan Wenji the letter . Look, the content is really the same as what Uncle Pang said.
Pang Boyi said: "Brother Yi knows that your handiwork is in this big gift this time."
"What are these things?" Pan Wenji paused slightly while stroking his beard, but soon figured out the reason.
It seems that this kid is smarter than he thought.
...
At that time, not only did the letters sent from Pu'an enter Pang's house, but one also reached Yu Qiulin's hands. Xu Yi asked him in the letter if he was interested in coming to Pu'an to get a piece of the pie.
Naturally, he didn't have much confidence when he sent the letter.
But Yu Qiulin believed him, and the next day after receiving the letter, he packed his bags and ran to find him.
He arrived slower than the officers and soldiers of Xingyuan Prefecture. By the time he arrived, the case of Ji Shitang and Pu'an County Magistrate had also been settled.
Yu Qiulin came to Lin's house according to the address, but he hadn't knocked on the door of Lin's house yet.
Behind him, A Xu's voice suddenly sounded: "Brother Qiu."
Yu Qiulin turned around in surprise: "A Xu, where did you come back from?"
A Xu said: "I came to pick up Brother Qiu, and now we are following Lang Jun Staying in the inn, Lang Jun asked me to wait here and said you would be here soon."
Yu Qiulin nodded, not surprised by this.
He got on the donkey cart and followed A Xu to the inn not far away. Xu Yi was sitting in the room drinking tea and waiting for him. When he saw him coming, he greeted him to sit down.
Xu Yi said: "Brother Qiu has had a hard time on the road. What I told you seems to have some clues. Now that the Jishi Hall in the city has been closed, it will be difficult to reopen it."
Yu Qiulin said: "I heard something on the way. "
After he sat down, he took a sip of tea and then looked at Xu Yi and asked, "Brother Yi is so clever, how do you know that the other party will fall? I was very angry when I was in Zitong, and you left Zitong last time. Later, when I went to sell pills, those followers wanted to stop me and teach me a lesson.
"It's not a clever plan. The reason is the same as what was said in the letter." After Xu Yi finished speaking, he asked worriedly, "You didn't get beaten, did you?
" He smiled and waved his hands and said: "No, I had the foresight to hire Brother Zhang as a guard. Brother Zhang alone can defeat three people and beat them to a pulp."
Xu Yi was surprised, Zhang Tiegou was working as a guard again. Working?
Yu Qiulin told Xu Yi the whole story.
It turned out that Madam Chen had managed it herself for several years after she opened the shop. Now, in the past few years, she saw that Madam He had grandchildren, but she was still alone, and she felt bored.
But she didn't want to get married again. If she wanted to have grandchildren, she could only accept the marriage.
She was also familiar with Zhang Tiegou, and knew that he had no father or mother, and that he had a wife, a son and a daughter at home, which was just what she wanted... So, after discussing with Zhang Tiegou's family a month ago, she officially recognized her as godfather.
After they recognized their relationship, Zhang Tiegou and Li Mengniang lived with Mrs. Chen, so he didn't have too many worries when he went out for work.
Xu Yi: "..."
This... Brother An is his godson and Madam Chen's godson, so isn't he the godson of Madam Chen?
Is Zhang Tiegou his godbrother?
Xu Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Why hasn't he returned from his travels? He has a godmother and a godbrother.
