Gu Beijian found Yi Yami and said, "There is good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear?"
Yi Yami looked confused. "About what?"
Gu Beijian smiled and said, "It's about the tooth powder business."
Yi Yami became interested and said, "Let me hear the bad news first."
"The bad news is that those people poached by Zhao Yingman were poisoned to death by Zhao Yingman." Gu Beijian said.
"Hiss, Zhao Yingman is such a vicious person!" Yi Yami took a breath of cold air when he heard that.
"Who said it wasn't?" Gu Beijian said.
"So what is the good news you are talking about?" Yi Yami asked.
"The good news is that there are two people alive. One of them is currently living in my cousin's house, and the other was picked up by my people." Gu Beijian said.
Yi Yami was puzzled. “How can this be considered good news?”
Gu Beijian found her bewildered look adorable. He smiled and said, "My cousin has received a complaint from Zhou Erni and is now going to Pianzhou to help investigate the case. We can..."
Yiyami looked into his eyes and said the next second, "Adding fuel to the fire." Yiyami blinked cunningly.
Gu Beijian nodded. "Smart."
Yi Yami's lips curled slightly, "What can you do with me?"
"No, you don't have to worry about this. Just do your thing. I will clear the obstacles and side branches ahead for you." Gu Beijian stared into her eyes and said seriously.
Yi Yami's heart skipped a beat when she heard that. "Thank you."
"There's no need to say thank you between you and me." Gu Beijian reached out to touch her face.
Xiaodi rushed in and Gu Beijian stopped his hand abruptly.
Yi Yami glanced at him and asked, "What's the matter?"
Xiao Di took a look at the atmosphere and felt like she had ruined something good. She cleared her throat and said, "Boss, there's something going on at the herbal medicine shop next door. I need you to go check it out."
Yi Yami heard this and said, "Okay, I'll be there right away."
Xiaodi retreated.
Gu Beijian stared into her eyes and said, "Then I'll go get busy. If I don't come to see you, I will go to Pianzhou with you."
Yi Yami heard this and said, "Please bring me some special products from Pianzhou."
Gu Beijian raised his lips when he heard this. "You really don't say you miss me or tell me to be careful on the road. Instead, you ask me to bring back some local specialties..."
Yi Yami smiled and said, "You are a martial arts expert. If you need to be careful, it's others who should be careful. I don't need to worry about that. Besides, don't you know whether you miss me or not?"
Gu Beijian pouted when he heard this. "I know it's one thing, but what you say is another. Do you understand?"
Yi Yami had no choice but to stroke her hair and said, "Okay, okay, you go there, be careful on the road, I will miss you!"
Gu Beijian nodded with satisfaction, "That's pretty good."
Yi Yami smiled and said, "You go ahead and do your work. I'm going to work next door."
Gu Beijian nodded and followed him out.
A few days later, Gu Beijian, Yao Wenyuan and his party arrived in Pianzhou.
Yao Wenyuan first exchanged a few compliments and pleasantries with the prefect of Pianzhou area.
"Lord Li, how are you these days?" Yao Wenyuan asked, bowing.
"That's good. I'm very much looking forward to learning that Lord Yao is coming to work with me on the case. This is also the first time I'm working on a case with a lord from another prefecture." Li Mingde, the prefect, said.
Yao Wenyuan smiled and said, "Then let's hurry up and get started."
Li Mingde also nodded. "It's really rare. Nowadays, someone who was accused can actually become the plaintiff."
Yao Wenyuan glanced at him and said, "Let's not talk about who is right or wrong for now. We can first let both parties confront each other in court and get their confessions first."
Li Mingde thought this was true, so he ordered people to beat the drum and enter the court.
Zhao Yingman and Ergou knelt on one side, looking at the two officials sitting in the court with puzzled expressions. They were dressed the same way. They were curious for a moment but did not dare to ask. They lowered their heads and said nothing.
"The people kneeling below the stage are Zhao Yingman, the shopkeeper? And Ergou, the manager?" Li Mingde asked.
"Replying to Lord Li, I am indeed a humble commoner." Zhao Ying lowered his head, looking very respectful.
"Someone has accused you of harboring criminals and instigating crimes. Will you plead guilty?" Li Mingde spoke majestically.
When Zhao Yingman heard this, he immediately shook his head and said, "Sir, this is clearly a false accusation, sir, please understand!"
"Someone, come and bring Zhou Erni." Li Mingde shouted.
Zhou Erni went to the classroom and knelt down far away from Zhao Yingman and the other man.
Zhao Yingman and the other man looked at this girl who was familiar but not completely familiar with some confusion.
Zhou Erni spoke up, "I, a humble woman named Zhou Erni, am going to sue Zhao Yingman and Ergou for being so unkind and unjust as they poisoned the lives of my father, Zhou Dadong, and over ten other men!"
Zhao Yingman felt it was strange at first, as he had never seen the real person before. But after listening to her, he knew in his heart that this was not Zhou Erni, but Zhou Erni. No, the Zhou Erni from the past was Zhou Erni, and she was pretending to be Zhou Erni!
Thinking of this, Zhao Yingman calmed down. "How can you, a girl, accuse others as soon as you open your mouth?"
"Zhou Erni, you said Zhao Yingman harmed people, do you have any evidence?" Li Mingde said.
Zhou Erni clutched the hem of her clothes tightly. "No, there is no evidence, but my father told me this himself before he died..."
Zhao Yingman smiled. "That's strange. Our Zhou Dadong doesn't have a daughter. We only have a son, Zhou Erni..."
Zhou Erni glared at him angrily and said, "I am Zhou Erni. I am disguised as a man and mixed in here just to do a better job for you!"
Li Mingde glanced at Yao Wenyuan, then whispered, "Master Yao, you dare to bring her to the court to try the case without any evidence. Isn't that too reckless?"
