Chapter 224: Arrested and imprisoned
Although they had indeed told everyone that they could no longer wear this kind of clothes, there was an endless stream of people who came to Ruoyu Lou to buy fabrics every day, how could they all investigate it.
"Hey, what's the matter?"
Just when the three of them were about to go to the place where the incident happened, Dr. Zhang, who was invited that day, came again.
"Dr. Zhang, why are you here?"
Since handing him the clothes that day, the people have not been in touch, and this is the first time they have seen each other since that day.
"I found that there are some herbs on this garment, which can cure diseases if used properly, but if you put less or too much, it may become a poison that kills people. No wonder I said there was a smell on the garment that day. ”
Dr. Zhang told several people about his discovery.
Dr. Zhang then handed them a piece of paper with the names of the herbs he had extracted from his clothes, including Houttuynia cordata, comfrey, notoginseng, and toad.
Fortunately, Dr. Zhang had already explained to a few people in advance, and they also knew some of the herbs on it, and they had also drunk them.
The three of them looked at the names of the herbs on the paper and couldn't help but wonder a little, of course they did have some herbs in their cloth, but they thought they had never used them on the paper.
"But these are just some of them, there are other herbs in there, but I don't know exactly what they are."
Doctor Zhang sighed and said, obviously a little regretful.
"Doctor Zhang, can you accompany us on a trip, now that someone has died because of this clothes, maybe you can get some useful news from him."
Du Ruonan thought to himself that the person was dead, and it wouldn't make any difference for the three of them to go in such a hurry, so it was better to bring Dr. Zhang, if they could get some useful news.
If you don't get it, you won't suffer.
Dr. Zhang immediately nodded in agreement, obviously he was also very curious about what kind of medicine was put in it.
"Dad, you died so miserably."
A woman's cry rang out.
Several people walked into the room when they heard the sound and found that there was an old man in his fifties lying on the bed at this time, although he could not see the situation on his body, but his face was also covered with red rashes at this time.
Dr. Zhang immediately wanted to go up and have a look.
"You go out, if it weren't for you, my father wouldn't have died, you are all murderers."
The woman who was crying before stopped Dr. Zhang, and then pointed to a few people and said.
"I'm a doctor, can you let me see."
Dr. Zhang felt that this woman was rejecting the three of them because the fabric was bought from them. As a result, I didn't expect him to say that he was a doctor, but the woman's reaction was even greater.
She was the first to expel him, presumably because the doctor had not cured her father's illness, so she was now a little repulsed by the doctor.
Du Ruonan had to put some silver at the door and left silently.
After being driven away a few times, one finally agreed to let a few people take a look. They felt that they had bought clothes in Ruoyu Building for so long, and Du Ruonan was also good to them, so they reluctantly agreed.
Dr. Zhang opened the man's shirt and found a large piece of carrion on his chest, which must have been scratched before he died, so it looked extremely scary at this time.
Doctor Zhang is also up to the point, now that the person is gone, he should leave a whole corpse for people.
Soon, the news of the death caused by the fabric of Ruoyulou spread all over the capital, as if everyone knew about it overnight.
This undoubtedly brought huge trouble to Ruoyulou, not only no one came here to buy fabrics anymore, but many people came here to return goods, and many large employers wanted to cancel cooperation with Ruoyulou.
"Get out of the way, the government will handle the case, and the idle people will all get out of the way."
A few officials rudely pushed the crowd away.
It seems that the person is the local prefectural order.
"Stop, you haven't investigated the matter clearly, how can you arrest people, how can you seal the door."
Seeing that the county order wanted to arrest Du Ruonan and Su Mingyue, and wanted to seal Ruoyu Tower, Su Zhiyu repeatedly questioned this county order.
"Eight lives are here, is it possible that Ruo Yulou still wants to deny it, I think there is nothing to investigate, besides, this fabric was sold by your Ruo Yulou, and now that the certified physical evidence is complete, what else do you want to say?"
The prefectural commander responded without fear.
"Do you know who I am, and dare to talk to me like that."
Su Zhiyu said viciously.
"You are a famous colt, this villain naturally knows, but the Son of Heaven should be guilty of the same crime as the common people, you can't stop the villain from handling the case because you are a colt, then it is better for us to report the matter to the saint and let the saint decide."
The county magistrate said with a smile.
Looking at the appearance of him when he came just now, he didn't look like a good official, and the words he said at this time were righteous and Lingran, but Su Zhiyu couldn't refute these words.
If he blocks it, it will be to oppress people with power, and this will not be good for Ruoyulou's reputation, but if he doesn't stop it, Du Ruonan and Su Mingyue will inevitably be imprisoned today.
He thought about using the emperor to suppress this county order, but the emperor gave them a month, but no one was killed at that time, and now that there is a human life, the emperor will definitely put her in prison.
Instead of letting her suffer in the prison, it would be better to be arrested by this county order, at least it would be much easier for him to do something.
Of course, the county order had already known that Ruoyulou had a murder before, but because Du Ruonan was an imperial businessman and had Su Zhiyu's backing behind him, he turned a blind eye to this matter and passed it over. 398
It's better not to offend these two people.
But this morning, Zhao Yu came to him, and with a clever mouth, he easily persuaded the county order.
She told the county order Ruoyulou that there were countless fabrics sold every day, and these eight people were just an early warning, and there would definitely be more names in the future, and the emperor would definitely attach great importance to this matter at that time.
Maybe Du Ruonan will want to abscond in fear of crime at that time, and it will be a great achievement for him to catch Du Ruonan now. And if the emperor knows that he doesn't care about this matter, then his black gauze hat is afraid that he will lose it.
After Zhao Yu's coercion and temptation, the county commander saw a bright future, so he immediately brought people here.
"It seems that we can't escape this prison, and after we are arrested, this matter will all depend on you."
Su Mingyue said helplessly.
Du Ruonan and Su Zhiyu glanced at each other and didn't say anything.
Su Zhiyu watched the servants take the two away in front of him, but he was helpless. He didn't want to pay attention to the county order at all, but wanted to investigate the matter as soon as possible.
Because now it is indeed because of Ruo Yulou's clothes that there is a fatality, no matter what he says, it looks very pale and powerless, and when he comes up with strong evidence, the county order will naturally release people obediently.
"I didn't expect us to spend time in prison again in the near future."
Su Mingyue was a little bored and said to Du Ruonan on the side.
She felt that they were caught in prison, and Ruo Yulou was sealed, at least the ears were cleaner a lot, and Ruo Yulou was now sealed was not a kind of protection for it.
"You're so optimistic."
Du Ruonan said angrily.
"We have to believe Zhiyu, he will definitely be able to investigate this matter, we at least know before we come in that it is not our cause of human life, someone must be trying to frame us. And if the second master knew about this matter, he would definitely come to help. If it comes, it will be safe. ”
Su Mingyue comforted Du Ruonan.
“……”
Du Ruonan fainted before he could finish speaking.
Su Mingyue saw that Du Ruonan didn't say anything for a long time, and when she looked back, she found that Du Ruonan had fallen to the ground.
"Ruonan, Ruonan......"
Su Mingyue shouted Du Ruonan.
The heart she had just put down was pinched again, Du Ruonan didn't fall early or late, but now she fell when she was alone, which made Su Mingyue helpless.
She is not a doctor, how can she be optimistic about Du Ruonan?
Then she pushed away the sleeve on Du Ruonan's arm, and found that Du Ruonan's original red rash had now begun to appear in patches, and she touched Du Ruonan's arm a little hot.
She hurriedly touched Du Ruonan's forehead, and sure enough, she had a fever.
I thought to myself, how could Du Ruonan hide her physical condition from herself and Su Zhiyu, if something happened to her in prison, how could she explain to Su Zhiyu when she went out.
"Someone, come on, someone's dead."
Su Mingyue shouted outside.
"What do you shout, you are all caught in prison and you are not at peace, be careful of the torture."
The two officials who came in said to Su Mingyue very irritably.
"Don't you see anyone fainting here? Do you know who she is, and if something happens to her, will you bear the consequences? ”
Su Mingyue saw that the two of them didn't pay attention to what she said at all, and she was very anxious.
"There are so many faints here, can we all take care of it? Besides, how do we know if she's really fainted or fake? We can't afford to let you run away as soon as we open the door, and you two are now our repeat offenders. ”
The official questioned Su Mingyue repeatedly.
After speaking, the two of them left without waiting for Su Mingyue to continue talking, and it was naturally arranged by the county order that they did so.
"It's a pity that two beauties who are as beautiful as flowers lost their lives like this."
Several officials were discussing the two of them here.
Two peerless beauties suddenly appeared in the prison, how could they not talk about it.
"The ...... of Yu"
Du Ruonan muttered in a daze.
Seeing that the rash on Du Ruonan's body had turned into red spots, and now it had begun to become red and swollen, and it had been a high fever that did not go away, which made Su Mingyue on the side very anxious.
"Someone, someone."
Su Mingyue slapped the wall and said.
"I said Miss, don't make trouble, where do we have the right to find a doctor for you, you better stay here and enjoy the few days."
The official saw that Su Mingyue was making trouble every day in the past few days, and he was also very helpless.
