The minister guessed that Tongfutang must have been unable to explain to the court because the medicinal herbs were burned, so he replaced it with hay, and wanted to get through the trick, but he didn't expect that the sky net was magnificent, and it was negligent but not leaky.

Today's weather was dry, and the hay suddenly burned, so it was revealed that the herbs had been replaced.

The minister found a young man in their warehouse in the west of the city, who was the witness. "Lin Guang's work efficiency is relatively satisfactory.

The emperor nodded, and then said to Sun Qiansheng: "Sun Qiansheng, what Lord Lin said, yes or no?" ”

Sun Qiansheng hurriedly kowtowed, and said nervously: "Emperor, Emperor!" No, no, no grass people! It was true that the warehouse in the west of the city was on fire that day, but our medicinal materials were all placed in the warehouse in the east of the city that day, and the warehouse in the west of the city only put some useless yellow paper and white cloth.

In previous years, the medicinal materials purchased in the west and east of the city could indeed fill the west and east of the city, but this year, I don't know when a new medicinal herb shop was opened, and the price given was higher than ours, and many scattered farmers no longer bought medicinal materials to our Tongfutang, so the medicinal materials purchased this year were actually only half of those in previous years, so the warehouse in the west of the city was indeed empty that day.

All of the medicinal materials were placed in the warehouse in the east of the city, and before noon on the second day, the household department sent someone to pull all the medicinal materials away.

The grass people, the grass people will never dare to have half a lie. Please, please ask the emperor to take a look. ”

It was not easy for Sun Qiansheng to have the courage to explain everything to the emperor clearly.

"Nonsense!" Lin Guang faced what Sun Qiansheng said, and hurriedly retorted: "Your Majesty! The minister learned from the young man that most of the medicinal materials of that day were indeed placed in the warehouse in the west of the city. Only a small part of the city was placed in the east of the city. The young man also said that on the night of the fire, Sun Qiansheng and the owner of Tongfutang rushed to the warehouse in the west of the city, and Sun Qiansheng collapsed on the ground.

The medicinal materials were gone, and they didn't know how to explain to the imperial court, and later their proprietors came up with this method of putting on a crown and wearing a li, trying to confuse the real with the fake. ”

"What a bold slave, in front of me, he dares to talk nonsense! It is rumored that the young man came to confront Sun Qiansheng! Zhuge Feng said angrily.

"Witness!"

"Witness!"

"Witness!"

The guards took the young man to the Jinluan Palace.

The young man was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and he looked like a ghost.

When he saw such a big formation for the first time, he swallowed his saliva nervously, and saw Sun Qiansheng kneeling on the ground, and he also knelt down, "Caomin, Huang Xiaosan, knock on the emperor!" ”

"Huang Xiaosan, why did this medicinal herb turn into hay, you tell the truth!" The emperor's evidence is slightly mild.

Only then did Huang Xiaosan dare to raise his head, "Go back to the emperor!" On that day, the warehouse of the household department suddenly collapsed, and the medicinal materials were temporarily placed in Tongfutang, because the warehouse in the west of the city was close to the warehouse of the household department, so the shopkeeper put most of the medicinal materials in the warehouse in the west of the city. Only a small part of the warehouse in the west of the city could not be placed, so it was transferred to the warehouse in the east of the city.

Unexpectedly, the rat touched the oil lamp that day, and the entire warehouse in the west of the city was reduced to ashes in only half an hour!

The grass people, the grass people were almost buried in the fire at that time, they were so scared that they almost peed their pants! ”

"Poof!"

I don't know who couldn't hold back for a while, so he laughed, and then realized that it was not the right time to laugh, and hurriedly held back.

The emperor pretended not to hear it, and said coldly: "Keep talking!" ”

Later, the owner also came, and after an investigation, it was found that no one was injured by the guys guarding the warehouse, but there was indeed nothing left in the warehouse.

The owner also lost his square inch for a while, because the owner got the news early in the morning that the epidemic in Nanzhou was in urgent need of medicinal materials, so he deliberately purchased this batch of medicinal wealth at a high price, ready to take the opportunity to make a profit, if the epidemic in Nanzhou is solved smoothly, Tongfutang may still be able to mix with the imperial businessman, but he didn't expect that a fire burned everything down.

If the truth is explained to the court, not only will the proprietor lose all his money, but he is more likely to be blamed by the court, so after discussing with the shopkeeper, the proprietor decided to replace the medicinal herbs with hay and return it to the court.

The small, the small one also said to the owner at the time, this is too immoral, those medicinal materials are used to save lives, what is the difference between doing this and killing people?

However, the owner not only scolded the small one, but also deducted the small one's salary for a few days.

The small, the small one once wanted to go over and denounce the owner, but the owner, the owner's family is powerful and powerful, once it is found that it is a small denunciation, he will definitely not let go of the small one.

But these days, because of guilt, the little ones can't eat, they can't sleep, and they can't even pull out the. ”

Zhang Qingwu frowned at his words.

Huang Xiaosan continued unconsciously: "Today, when the little one found out in the Chenggu Warehouse that this adult came to investigate the matter of medicinal materials, the little one could no longer pass the threshold of his conscience, so he explained all to the adult.

The small, the little swears, the little one says it's all true! If the little one has a lie, let God, let God punish me for having no food, no place to live, and no to pull! ”

"Poof!"

This time, I don't know who it was, but I laughed too.

The emperor coldly swept the place where the laughter came from to warn, and then said, "Bold Sun Qiansheng, what else do you have to say?" ”

Sun Qiansheng glared at Huang Xiaosan fiercely, "Your Majesty, the grass people and this Huang Xiaosan have no grievances in the past, and there is no enmity recently, and the grass people don't know why he is lying, back to the emperor, the medicinal materials of that day were indeed placed in the east of the city, the grass people, the grass people were wronged." ”

"You say Hu!" Huang Xiaosan stood up excitedly, "Your conscience was eaten by a dog, and your face is not red or white when you lie." Although I, Huang Xiaosan, have not read for a few years, I know that people must be worthy of their conscience. You used hay as a medicinal herb, which was originally a lot of injustice, and now, now you are lying in front of the emperor, you, you don't take the emperor in your eyes at all.

The shopkeeper, the man stands up to the sky, you can tell the truth. Ask the adults who are there who will leave the medicinal herbs in the east of the city in the warehouse near the west of the city. ”

"That's because ......"

Huang Xiaosan didn't give him a chance to speak at all, and continued: "That's because you're lying!" ”

Zhang Qingwu said on the side: "Sun Qiansheng, this official advises you to tell the truth, if you don't have a weak heart, when this official goes to look for you, where are you going to run with your family?" ”

"Wronged, the grass people are wronged, the grass people don't want to run away, the grass people just want to move their families to Chudong, which is what the grass people have planned early on." Sun Qiansheng was already in a cold sweat.

Lin Guang looked at the others who were kneeling on the ground, "Your Majesty, now that the two of them have their own opinions, it seems that they want to hear what the other guys have to say." ”
