"Oh my god, this is impossible! Didn't Jixin Pharmacy claim that its consultation fees are very cheap? Is it a conscientious pharmacy? They wouldn't do this, right?"
"Hiss~ Who knows? This is my first time here too. Seeing so many people lining up, I thought the doctor must be good, so I came here."
"Hey man, didn't you just buy some medicine here? Did you pay for it? How much?"
"Yes, I just bought it. Look, I just got it. It's a five-day supply of medicine, and it cost me six hundred coins."
"Huh? What medicine are they? Can you please show me the prescription? My old lady has been taking medicine for a long time, and I know many of them."
"Here, look, this is it."
"Wow! Why are they so expensive? I've bought some of these medicines before, and they only cost a few cents."
"What? So, what the princess said is true?"
"I think it's probably true. Didn't you see those two doctors were afraid to say a word?"
Everyone was talking about it, and the manager was also very panicked when he saw this. It was the first day of opening, and if he messed up, he would be finished too!
But he couldn't afford to offend the princess, so he could only smooth things over, "Oh, princess, did you see it wrong?
We have opened several Jixin Pharmacies, and nothing like what you described has ever happened!
Look, is there some misunderstanding here? How about we go to the backyard and have a good chat?"
Xiao Lingling said nothing. When she saw the two doctors raising their hands to grab the prescription, she took it away first.
The two doctors came up empty-handed and their expressions became even more serious.
Little Bell sneered, "Why, you don't know how to argue and want to destroy the evidence directly?
But I am not worried at all. I can find as much evidence as you prescribe medicine to patients today.
I just don’t believe that a Jixin Pharmacy like you can have such connections and bribe everyone?
Today's incident won't end peacefully. First, you sent people to our Divine Medicine Hall to cause trouble, and then deceived many people by offering low consultation fees.
It turns out that was just a cover-up! Yes, the consultation fee looked twenty cents cheaper, but you probably paid back more than ten times that on the medicine!
What are you doing? You are liars!
It doesn't matter if you slander the miracle doctors. As long as you really have medical skills and medical ethics, and really benefit the people, I have nothing to say.
But what did you do?
Xiao Lingling was really angry. These people were so despicable that she was so angry that she was burning with anger.
Chunying left quickly and came back quickly. Not long after she finished speaking, a group of yamen runners rushed in, accompanied by an official in official uniform.
"You must be Princess Jiayin, right? I am Liang An, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture!"
The person who came was Liang An, who was in charge of Shuntian Prefecture. Common people in Beijing would usually go to Shuntian Prefecture to file a complaint.
Because the capital city was relatively large, there was a yamen in the east, south, west and north of Shuntian Prefecture, and the main yamen of Shuntian Prefecture was located in the capital city.
There are a total of four people who can try cases here, including one Tongpan and one Fucheng, and they are the ones who usually handle the cases.
Generally, when encountering a more difficult case, or a case involving children of officials, the prefect will come forward to hear the case.
If the case involves a wide range of people or involves high-ranking officials, it will be tried by the Minister of Justice.
Although Xiao Lingdang has now been conferred the title of princess, she actually has no power in the capital, and the person who sued her is a commoner, so it stands to reason that the prefect does not need to intervene.
But don't forget to think that Xiao Lingdang is the last disciple of Dr. Jiang. Even the prefect dare not underestimate her. So she comes here in a hurry.
Xiao Lingling also quickly returned the greeting and said calmly, "Hello, Mr. Liang, I am Princess Jiayin, Lin Ling. I want to sue Jixin Pharmacy for prescribing random medicines in order to make money."
Liang An turned his head and glanced at the two doctors. They didn't say anything, but lowered their heads. If you looked closely, you could see that they were trembling slightly.
Liang An knew that this was most likely true without even having to investigate.
But as the prefect, he could not judge the case directly based on his own judgment. He could only follow the procedures and bring all the people from both sides, the patients who had just been treated, the prescriptions and medicine packages back to Shuntian Prefecture.
In order to be fair and just, Liang An also specially invited a doctor from several other pharmacies in the capital to check the prescription.
Because there were many people at Jixin Pharmacy at the time, this incident was widely spread, causing a large number of people to gather outside Shuntian Prefecture.
The manager of Jixin Pharmacy is now sweating profusely, but he can do nothing but wait for the final result.
In any case, he knew that his job was over and he just hoped that he would get a light sentence and not be thrown into jail.
The case was very simple. After the doctors checked the prescription, medicinal materials and the patient's condition, they came to a conclusion.
"Sir! We did find many useless herbs in the prescription, and most of these herbs are very common. Although they won't harm your health, they are not good for you either.
And their level shouldn't be too high. Some prescriptions have some medicinal conflicts, but they're not serious. They should cause nausea and vomiting after taking them."
After several doctors summarized their opinions, one person gave a unified report.
As soon as the answer came out, the people outside Shuntian Prefecture were instantly in an uproar.
"Wow! It's actually true! Jixin Pharmacy is so shameless! Isn't this just a scam?"
"Who said it wasn't? I was planning on checking it out tomorrow, but I'm so glad I didn't!"
"It's really heartless. Such a person is not worthy of practicing medicine!"
Everyone was very excited and the noise was getting louder and louder.
Liang An banged the gavel twice before everyone quieted down.
"Does Jixin Pharmacy have anything else to say in rebuttal?"
The two doctors were also frightened at this moment. They had used this method in other places before, so why didn't it work in the capital?
But they didn't dare say this. They all knelt on the ground, crying.
"Sir! We know we are wrong, but we have no choice. This is what the master asked us to do, and we can only do as we are told."
"Ah, yes, yes, we really didn't mean to do this. We have no choice but to do this. We have elderly parents and young children to support, and we have to make money to support our family!"
The steward's face looked a little ugly, but he didn't say a word.
Liang An sighed, "No matter what, the prescription was written by you, so you can't escape responsibility. We went to ask your master for help, but we couldn't find anyone.
We will try to arrest more people later, but you can't escape responsibility. First, return all the money you paid for the medicine. Each of you will be given 30 strokes of the cane and temporarily detained.
After we capture your master, we will continue the trial, make a final judgment, and execute you immediately!"
