"The prince is cautious!" Lord Lu snorted: "Above the official's court, it's not your turn to call the shots. Gao Yue, although the prince is reckless, there is nothing inappropriate in what he said. Do you have any physical evidence? ”

"Yes." Since Gao Yue wanted to kill Qu Xi, of course she would not be unprepared, took out a piece of paper from her arms, and handed it to Lord Lu by the servant, Gao Yue said: "Ladies and gentlemen, please take a look carefully, this is a recipe that the grass people got from the secret pavilion of the Splendid Villa, the owner of Qu Zhuang, which lists many medicinal materials, all of which are common things!" ”

"Gao Yue, I really underestimated you." As early as when he saw that piece of paper, Qu Xi's pupils were extremely constricted. The handwriting on that piece of paper was written by Qin Baichuan himself, and it was some of the medicinal materials that Qin Baichuan chose after investigating the rouge recipes on the market, and they were also the rouge recipes of the Baihua Workshop.

What shocked Qu Xi was not anything else, but that this recipe was carefully stored by her in her own room in Splendid Villa. No one can enter or leave that room at will except herself, where did Gao Yue get it from? Qu Xi's mind was buzzing, and she immediately thought of someone, but she didn't want to admit it anyway.

"Master Qu, if you walk right and sit up straight, how can you be caught by me and hurt your feet?" Gao Yue looked at Qu Xi regretfully, shook her head and said, "Master Lu, have you asked for a certificate?" ”

"Heirloom card!" Lord Lu's face sank like water, and he passed the order.

Qu Xi closed her eyes, waited for a while, and then heard the footsteps of two people behind her, she didn't even open her eyes, and now, even a fool should understand that since Gao Yue did it, she would not leave any life for Qu Xi.

Sure enough, as soon as the two witnesses spoke, Qu Xi was even more like falling into an ice cave: "Cheng Yangtian of the grass people Lin'an Cheng family, Xiao Yu, the young master of the Jiangling Medicine Pavilion of the grass people, have seen all the adults!" ”

Rao is Qu Xi was as calm as ever, but he almost fainted when he heard the voices of these two people. What is this, what is it? At the beginning, he Qu Xi stole the recipe of the Cheng family, added arsenic to harm Cheng Yangtian, and snatched countless medicinal materials from Xiao Yu, today they are here to take revenge, right? Or, Skynet is magnificent, negligent but not leaky, and the sins you have done will start to be repaid today?

"Since you two are witnesses, tell me about the evidence related to this case." Lu Shigao also knew that things were going to be bad, and he wanted to help Qu Xi recover a little bit of decline: "This official has a word first, if you dare to say half a lie, this official's criminal law is like a furnace, and you will never be spared!" ”

"Your Excellency." Cheng Yangtian kowtowed first and said, "The grass family has been in the rouge business for generations, and they have studied the ingredients of rouge. A few days ago, after getting the rouge of the Baihua Workshop, the family craftsmen basically analyzed the rouge ingredients of the Baihua Workshop after many days of research, one by one, all recorded in the book, please look at it. ”

Cheng Yangtian took out a blue-skinned booklet, and Lord Lu opened it to check, and it was indeed an analysis of the composition of the rouge in the Hundred Flowers Workshop. For a rouge family like the Lin'an Cheng family, it is not difficult to do a component analysis based on experience, and this evidence is indeed very convincing.

"Lord Qiyu, when the Hundred Flowers Workshop was built, the Xiao family also participated. Later, because of some incidents, the Hundred Flowers Workshop was owned by the owner of Qu Da Zhuang, but the medicinal materials were all provided by the Xiao family. Xiao Yu also took out a booklet from his arms: "For more than half a year, the Xiao family has provided countless medicinal materials for the Hundred Flowers Workshop, all of which are recorded. Xiao Yu used his net worth to guarantee his life, and most of the medicinal materials provided were ordinary things, and there were no rare treasures such as the so-called Tianshan Snow Lotus. ”

"That's enough." Master Lu took a deep breath, now that the evidence is ironclad, even if he Lu Shigao can't protect Qu Xi: "Master Qu Zhuang, what else do you have to say now?" ”

"There is nothing to say." Qu Xi sneered, holding the mentality of breaking the jar and breaking it, and made the last struggle: "But I want to ask all my lords, not to mention whether there is a problem with the rouge formula of the Hundred Flowers Workshop, even if it exists, which one of my Qu Xi criminals?" ”

Lord Lu was stunned again, and secretly said that this master of Qu Da Zhuang is really extraordinary. Yes, Fairview Villa is nothing more than fraud or lack of integrity, and it is morally condemnable, but it is not a violation of the law of the Great Song. Moreover, there were no poisonous ingredients in the rouge formula, even if Lord Lu wanted to confiscate or close the Hundred Flowers Workshop, he couldn't do it.

After Qu Xi stabilized the situation a little, he puffed up his chest again, and his momentum was compelling: "Tianshan Snow Lotus is so precious, even if I don't say it, I believe everyone knows it." The Tianshan Snow Lotus used in my Baihua Workshop is distilled and refined, and the final result is the essence of the juice! What if Lin'an Chengjia is a century-old store? Can their craftsmen tell the recipe in my workshop? ”

"As for what Xiao Yu said, it's even more nonsense, it's right for the Xiao family to provide medicinal materials to the Hundred Flowers Workshop, but I want to ask, even if I ask you to ask for the Tianshan Snow Lotus, are you capable of providing it? The Tianshan Snow Lotus of the Hundred Flowers Workshop is obtained by the owner of Qin Baichuan Qin Fang by relying on personal relationships, and its origin has nothing to say! Qu Xi glanced at Gao Yue: "As for the recipe you said, I admit that it is indeed used by the Hundred Flowers Workshop, but how could I write it on the core of the herbs?" ”

"Qu Xi, when did you become so sharp-toothed?" Without waiting for Gao Yue to speak, Cheng Yangtian's sharp voice came: "The Hundred Flowers Workshop Rouge said that in addition to the Tianshan Snow Lotus, there are many precious medicinal materials, but the Lin'an Cheng family has not found any of them. Could it be that the distillation method used is not successful? ”

"In terms of precious medicinal materials, my Xiao family's medicinal fields also have a lot, but the big owner never seems to ask for them. Under the same value, the choice of the big owner is clearly the quantity. Xiao Yu also helped on the side: "It's very simple to confirm this, as long as Master Lu goes to thoroughly investigate the warehouse of the Hundred Flowers Workshop, he can find clues." ”

"What you said is extremely true, but what Master Qu said is not unreasonable." Lord Lu pondered for a long time and said, "It will take some time to investigate this matter, but I am not in a hurry to do it overnight. The official promised that he would find out. ”

"Your Excellency is wise." Gao Yue glanced at Cheng Yangtian and Xiao Yu and took the initiative to shout.

"Now the official has a question, since it is a commercial dispute, it should be resolved by the Ministry of Commerce, so why should it be brought to court? Gao Yue, this official thinks that you are making a big fuss and pretending to be wronged. Master Lu realized that things didn't seem to be so simple. At most, this matter will damage the statement of Splendid Villa or Hundred Flowers Workshop, and Gao Yue's purpose is never here.

"Lord Lu, the grass people are wronged." Gao Yue kowtowed again and said aggrievedly: "Please see clearly the mortgage agreement between Huitong Money Village and the owner of Qu Zhuang, the owner of Qu Zhuang guarantees to operate in good faith, and Huitong Money Village also values the rouge of Baihua Workshop, so he provided a sum of 1.5 million taels." But in fact, the owner of Qu Zhuang is suspected of fraud and is suspected of defrauding money from Huitong Bank, how can the grass people not sue? ”
