Woof...woof woof!
"Woman, you're finally back! Any later and this place would have been lost."
Big White ran to Ye Jintang's side and barked incessantly, telling her what had just happened.
With the outside sealed off by the government, Ye Jintang had no choice but to enter Huisheng Hall through the back entrance. He saw that Da Bai was still barking incessantly, and if anyone heard the noise, it would inevitably expose the existence of the back residence.
"Shut up."
Ye Jintang's eyes turned cold, and her tone carried a clear warning.
Big White let out a howl and dared not make another sound, while Ye Jintang had already entered the Resurrection Hall, where the situation was in complete chaos.
It is clear that Huishengtang underwent a search before being shut down, and the scattered medicinal herbs were obviously taken away by the government before they could be collected.
Just as Ye Jintang was about to look away, her gaze was once again drawn to a prescription in the corner.
"Move your paws away."
Seeing that the white dog's paws had completely covered the prescription, Ye Jintang stepped forward.
Da Bai moved aside, seemingly understanding Ye Jintang's intention, and picked up the prescription, attempting to "hand" it to her.
When Ye Jintang saw the contents of the prescription, her expression changed slightly. She had been paying attention to the treatments given by the two doctors, Jiang and Wang, at Huishengtang.
Therefore, it was immediately recognized that it was Dr. Wang's handwriting. The prescription on it was obviously wrong, with a large discrepancy in the dosage. If the medicine was prepared according to this prescription and the patient happened to take it, it would not necessarily lead to serious consequences.
But it causes unbearable abdominal pain. Could it be that Huishengtang was shut down by the government because of this?
Logically speaking, Dr. Wang has been working at Huishengtang for some time, so such a mistake shouldn't have happened. Also, even if the doctor writes a prescription, it should be checked again during the dispensing process.
It's not like we can't see the outcome at all, but the events have already happened. Ye Jintang lowered her eyes, it seems there's more to this than just Su Xuerou.
She waited at Huisheng Hall for a while but Green Lotus did not return. Ye Jintang decided to go to the government office herself.
Given Lühe's personality, she shouldn't have wasted so much time on this matter.
"Woman, I'll go with you."
Big White barked.
Ye Jintang glanced around and said to Da Bai, "You stay here."
After saying that, she left the back of the house and headed towards the government office.
Surprisingly, when she arrived at the government office, she did not see Green Lotus, but instead saw the servant from before standing there.
Xiao Si was quite surprised to see her and quickly stepped forward to give her a respectful bow.
"Greetings, Miss."
Seeing that they were outside the government office and that the servant was waiting there, Ye Jintang frowned and asked, "What's the situation here?"
"Green Lotus, could she still be inside?"
"Green Lotus Girl?"
Upon hearing the question, Xiao Si looked puzzled. "Miss, didn't Miss Lü He leave half an hour ago? She told me to wait here for her to return and report back to you."
“I have been waiting here until you come.”
"They went back in half an hour...?"
Ye Jintang vaguely sensed that something was wrong, knowing that this Shengtang was not far from the government office.
It shouldn't have been half an hour without any movement, but the current situation didn't allow Ye Jintang to think too much about it.
Perhaps it was just that her departure time was different from Green Lotus's.
She strode into the government office. When the officials learned that Ye Jintang had come, they were quite polite and presented the evidence they had collected to her.
“Madam Hou, it is not that I intend to seal up Huishengtang and detain the people at the same time, but rather that the current evidence points to this.”
Looking at the evidence, Ye Jintang said, "Your Honor, these prescriptions were all written by Doctor Wang. Even if you were to arrest someone, you should only arrest him. Why did you take everyone away with you?"
Faced with Ye Jintang's question, the government office seemed to have been prepared.
“Madam Hou, I have already investigated. Although there is a problem with the prescription, the person in charge of dispensing the medicine is also at fault. However, these people say that the person who wrote the prescription and the person who was in charge of dispensing the medicine that day both disappeared at the same time. It is hard not to be suspicious here.”
"Furthermore, several people have already experienced discomfort due to issues with the prescription, so I have no other choice but to make this decision."
"So, are you going to arrest me too?"
Although the government office was trying to explain, there were too many loopholes in their words.
The government officials were taken aback, their gazes toward Ye Jintang filled with hesitation.
“Madam Hou, although Huishengtang belongs to you, I have found that you were not in Huishengtang during the days when the incident occurred, so you have no connection with it.”
"Yeah?"
Ye Jintang narrowed her eyes, her coldness intensifying.
Especially when the other party mentioned these things, their eyes darted away, which was a clear sign of guilt.
"What if I were to take the people from Huishengtang away today?"
Upon hearing Ye Jintang's words, the government office immediately hardened its stance.
“Madam Hou, I know you are of a different status, but now that someone is in trouble, I must act in accordance with the law.”
"So the case has been solved?"
"Have those two been caught?"
"To report before everything is clear, Your Excellency, did you foresee the consequences when you accepted that gold?"
The man in the government office froze, feeling inexplicably flustered and uncertain upon hearing Ye Jintang's words.
How did this Lady Hou know about all these things?
But if he admits it, not to mention the present, even that person won't let him off the hook.
Thinking of this, the official angrily rebuked, "Madam Hou, if you continue to spout nonsense and interfere with my investigation, since Huishengtang is under your name, and given what you've just said, I have reason to suspect that this matter is related to you."
"So, the prefectural magistrate is unwilling to release the person, nor is he willing to re-examine the case, and intends to rule on this way?"
Ye Jintang continued.
The government official did not answer, but simply turned his head away. No matter what, Ye Jintang was the wife of a marquis, and he was still unwilling to have a direct confrontation.
Seeing this, Ye Jintang sneered. It seemed that if he wanted to take the person away today, he would have to use some special methods.
She remembered that the emperor had given her a token that allowed her to freely enter and leave the palace, which must have been of great significance. Now it just so happened that it came in handy.
Just as Ye Jintang was about to take out the token from her sleeve, a soldier ran in with a look of terror on his face.
"My...my sir, something terrible has happened!"
Upon the appearance of the government troops, the magistrate's expression immediately darkened, and he was extremely dissatisfied with the man's panic.
"What on earth happened! Could it be that someone has come here again to complain about the prescriptions from Huishengtang?"
As he said this, the magistrate glanced at Ye Jintang, clearly emphasizing the situation that had just occurred.
The officers and soldiers shook their heads, "No...no..."
