"Bang!"
Magistrate Gao slammed the table and shouted angrily, "You are indeed not good at medicine! You are causing harm to people's lives! I think you don't want to be a doctor anymore. Come here! Search them and examine their hands!"
After a body search, two packets of powder were found on two of them, and there was also powder in their fingernails.
Several doctors took the powder, examined it carefully, and replied, "Sir, this powder is poison, it's extremely toxic!"
County Magistrate Gao looked at them coldly and shouted, "He Dayong! Why don't you just tell the truth!"
He Dayong was so frightened that he trembled like a sieve. He immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "Please spare my life, sir. I was also bewitched by the devil and wanted to cheat some money to spend. I know I was wrong!"
"Bang!" County Magistrate Gao slammed the table again!
"If they don't tell the truth, come, drag them away and give them thirty lashes!"
"Sir, spare my life!"
"Sir, we know we are wrong!"
"Please forgive us, sir! We will never dare to do it again!"
Soon screams were heard one after another, and Hu Tian, who pretended to be unconscious, escaped the disaster.
"Ah! Sir! We recruit! We recruit! The owner of Yunke Tower sent us!"
"Someone! Go and get the shopkeeper of Yunkelou!"
Not long after, the constable came and brought the man.
"You are the owner of Yunkelou? Did you instruct He Dayong, Hu Tian and others to falsely accuse the pig of poisonous water?"
The shopkeeper was terrified and said tremblingly, "I am Wang Zhengguang, the shopkeeper of Yunke Tower. I don't understand what you mean, sir, and I don't know the two people you are talking about."
"Ah~hiss... Sir! He is lying! He was the one who ordered us to do this! He even gave us fifty taels of silver! It's right under my insole!"
The bailiff pinched his nose and searched it out, and presented the silver bills.
Shopkeeper Wang cursed his ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart, saying they were people who were always causing trouble but could not do anything good. Who would have thought that he would confess everything after being beaten twice? He looked quite intimidating, but he was nothing but an embroidered pillow.
"Sir! I really don't know anything! I don't even know them!"
"He Dayong, your banknote is not enough as evidence, do you have anything else?"
"Sir, it was Shopkeeper Wang! He was the one who bribed Doctor Huang! He also gave us our medicine!"
Doctor Huang was also anxious and shouted, "You are talking nonsense! Sir, don't listen to his nonsense! He has gone crazy! He is making random accusations! I didn't sell them arsenic at all!"
"puff……"
Lin Wanwan couldn't help laughing and complained, "Doctor Huang, you really confessed yourself! Arsenic... hehe..."
"Bang!"
"Someone, come here! Go check the Ji family pharmacy! Bring back all the relevant people to me!"
"yes!"
Lin Wanwan was bored, so she made a face at Fu Junyi, and Fu Junyi watched her performance with amusement.
Soon, the captain of the police came back with the men and the account books.
Liu Zhubu took the account book and checked the accounts carefully.
Magistrate Gao looked at Shopkeeper Ji and said, "Are you the shopkeeper of Ji's pharmacy? Is Doctor Huang the doctor of your pharmacy?"
Shopkeeper Ji said terrifiedly, "Yes, sir, that's right. I wonder what he did wrong?"
"A few days ago, Shopkeeper Wang from Yunkelou bought two packets of arsenic from your pharmacy. Is this true?"
Shopkeeper Ji was so frightened that he immediately knelt down, "Sir! It's Doctor Huang. He said that Shopkeeper Wang's restaurant was infested with rats and he wanted to buy some to poison the rats. That's why I'm selling them!"
"Sir, it is indeed written in the account book, and the source and amount are recorded!"
The county magistrate took the account book and saw that it was true.
"Huang Yuan! Do you still want to quibble?"
"Please spare my life! It was Manager Wang who forced me to do this! My daughter married his nephew, and if I don't do this, he will ask his nephew to divorce my daughter! My poor daughter... wuwuwu..."
Shopkeeper Ji also kowtowed several times, "Sir, we have spoken the truth! Please have mercy on us!"
The county magistrate looked at Shopkeeper Wang again and said coldly, "Shopkeeper Wang, you might as well tell the truth!"
Shopkeeper Wang was furious, glaring at Lin Wanwan, pointing at her and saying, "Who told her to do such a thing? Since she started selling this pig offal, our business has been reduced by more than half! This pig offal is cheap, and we wanted to buy it to make a living, but who knew that she bought up all the pig offal in the whole county! How can we do business!"
"Oh……"
Lin Wanwan sneered, "How funny! Your big restaurant is not doing well, but you blame me, a small vendor! You have no ability, but you want to take advantage of me and reap the benefits.
If it weren't for me, how would you know that this pig's offal is so delicious? If we don't control the price, do we have to let you sell it at a high price? I discovered it, so why can't I have a say? Even if I don't let you take advantage, you have to bear it! Because the beneficiaries of this pig's offal are not you! I just want all the people in Dayuan to eat something that tastes as good as meat and is cheaper than meat! If it were you, could you do it?"
