There is a sentence in the Four Commandments of Fayin, which is called: "You can't do it all, and if you do it, disaster will come." The meaning of this sentence is that there needs to be room for everything, otherwise it will cause a backlash and invite yourself to trouble.

Jiang Xia's Jiuyang Feifeng Pharmacy business was surprisingly good, and even Jiang Xia himself was surprised by the speed at which he collected money. Originally, Jiang Xia was still a little worried that his pharmacy was too high-profile, and he might be hated by others and cause trouble for himself. But yesterday Zhu Houzhao came over again, and looked for Jiang Xia to take a share in the pharmacy.

With Zhu Houzhao's shares in it, Jiang Xia naturally has no worries, does anyone dare to trick the emperor's business?

It seemed to be giving Jiang Xia an answer, not long after the shop opened today, suddenly a person rushed out of the long queue, and he shouted loudly: "Poisonous, Jiuyang Dan is poisonous!" ”

Jiang Xia, who was standing in the shop, frowned, his own pill knew by himself, it could not be poisonous. Jiang Xia yelled loudly: "Hey, don't be nonsense"

Before the word "say" of "nonsense" came out of Jiang Xia's mouth, the person who ran out suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground. White foam continued to bubble out of his nostrils and mouth, apparently poisoned.

The people who lined up in a long line to buy medicine immediately surrounded the man, and one of them also found that the man was still holding a small porcelain bottle in his hand, and the porcelain bottle was pasted with three big characters written on red paper - Jiuyang Dan.

Jiang Xia's brows tightened, and he suddenly felt that this matter was unusual.

"Someone's dead, someone's dead"

"Jiuyang Dan eats the dead."

The long queue that had just been waiting in line dispersed in an instant, and everyone gathered around the corpse.

It didn't take long for the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to patrol by, and after learning about this, they carried the man's body on a stretcher, and then took Jiang Xia to the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion together.

This first time I came to Shuntianfu, I just briefly explained the situation of the case, and then Shuntianfu let Jiang Xia go.

When he returned to Jiuyang Feifeng Pharmacy, Jiang Xia found that there were many people outside the store who were making noise. After listening carefully, Jiang Xia figured out that it turned out that the people who bought the Jiuyang Pill heard that the pill had eaten to death, so they came to return it one after another.

Han Mufeng, who had been helping in the store, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Jiang Xia coming, and after Jiang Xia walked into the store, he just said lightly: "Collect the medicine and return the money." ”

Several hired Lang Zhong checked whether those Jiuyang Pills were all real, and returned the money there.

It took about two hours, and the people who came to withdraw the pill finally finished.

Jiang Xia asked a few guys in the store to close the door, and told him not to open for the time being for the next few days, and then he left with Han Mufeng.

Back at Xiaoyao Villa, not long after Jiang Xia sat down in the courtyard, Li Dongyang took Jun Yang with him. When he saw Jiang Xia, Li Dongyang's first sentence was to ask: "Something happened?" ”

Jiang Xia frowned slightly, it hasn't been a long time since the incident happened, why does the master already know the way?

Jiang Xia nodded: "Yes, there is a person who is said to have died after eating Jiuyang Dan, and the servants in the Shuntian Mansion are conducting an autopsy, and I am still waiting for news." Master, how do you know the Dao? ”

Li Dongyang said: "This matter has begun to be spread outside, and it is spreading very quickly, and I don't know if someone is deliberately fueling the trouble or if your Jiuyang Pill has too much influence, so there are so many people talking about it as soon as there is a problem." ”

Jiang Xia smiled slightly and said, "Maybe it's both." ”

"Be careful yourself." Li Dongyang instructed.

Jiang Xia nodded, "Don't worry, Master, I'll be careful." ”

"Hmm."

There was nothing to say that day, and the next morning, as soon as Jiang Xia got up and finished washing, a guard came to report, saying that a messenger from Shuntianfu came to find him.

Jiang Xia immediately went to the front yard, and after seeing those yachas, one of them said to Jiang Xia very politely: "Gongzi Jiang, here's the thing. The person who died was He Yunlai, the lord of He Mansion, a big family in the southern city. Early this morning, Mrs. He Yunlai went to identify the body, and after confirming the identity of Master He, she decided to sue you.

The paper has been handed to Lord Zhizhong, and he is still bothered that Jiang Gongzi will go with the little one. ”

Jiang Xia nodded and said, "You should go." ”

Jiang Xia followed those yamen to the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion.

Since it is a dead person, it is a criminal case.

In Suncheon, it is the Lord of the Governors who is in charge of all the cases, and it is the Governors who assist the Governors. In charge of criminal cases, it is the official position of Zhizhong and Zhengwupin.

The name of Shuntian Mansion is Wang Baosheng, and he had a relationship with Jiang Xia when he bought Jiuyang Dan in Jiuyang Feifeng.

When they arrived at the main hall of the Yamen, there were already seven or eight women kneeling in the hall, and it was obvious that they were all the wives and concubines who had been transported by Nahe. The women wore linen and filial piety, and cried together.

Seeing Jiang Xia come in, Wang Baosheng slapped the shocked wood hard, and then said: "There is no noise in the court, now that both sides of the case are present, then the case will officially start to be heard." ”

"Slow." A middle-aged woman, who looks to be about thirty years old, has a beautiful face and a bit of a charm. She glanced at Jiang Xia and said calmly: "Above the court, why didn't he kneel as a defendant?" ”

Jiang Xia bowed slightly and said, "I am a prisoner of the country, and I am a protégé of the Son of Heaven, so I can be exempted from kneeling in the public court." ”

"Indeed, not only should you avoid bowing, but you should also prepare a chair." Wang Baosheng said with a smile, and then motioned to the hall to send a stool for Jiang Xia.

Jiang Xia glanced at the stool, and always felt that it seemed a little bad to sit down, but not sitting seemed to be a good thing for Wang Baosheng. So Jiang Xia saluted Wang Baosheng with a fist, and after saying "Lord Xie", he sat down with a golden sword.

Wang Baosheng said: "Okay, now the case will be heard. Master, read the paper again. ”

"Yes, sir." The master in the hall read the paper, and its content was nothing more than that Jiangxia's Jiuyang Dan contained highly poisonous, and his husband He Yunlai died of poisoning after taking it, so he asked Jiangxia to pay for his life.

After reading it, Wang Baosheng did not interrogate directly, but said: "It's just nonsense, that Lord Jiuyang Danben has also taken it, and there is no discomfort in his body, so it is purely a false accusation." ”

After speaking, Wang Baosheng directly announced the verdict and beat He Li and others with ten boards, and then retreated.

This is really strange, Jiang Xia's brows are tightly locked, it is obvious that Wang Baosheng is helping himself, and it can even be said that he is favoring himself. But why does he have no old friendship with him, and why does he favor himself? In addition, he even said that he had taken Jiuyang Pill, it is definitely not a glorious thing for a man to take such a medicine, in order to help himself, he actually said this matter together, and he has such a good friendship with him?

Jiang Xia walked out of the court in a daze, and just walked to the street outside the public hall Jiang Xia heard a shout from behind him: "Murderer, you colluded with corrupt officials and killed my father-in-law, and you returned my father-in-law's life." ”

Jiang Xia turned his head and saw that it was a concubine from He Yunlai who pulled out a hairpin from his head and rushed towards him.

Jiang Xia stepped sideways, and then pushed the little concubine away.

But at this moment, Jiang Xia heard the sound of breaking the sky behind him, and a strong sense of uneasiness suddenly rose in his heart. Jiang Xia flashed to the side, and when he stood up again, he found that the little concubine suddenly looked at him in disbelief, and then she looked down at her chest, and Jiang Xia found that there was a dagger stuck in her chest.

The concubine pointed at Jiang Xia and wanted to speak, but she couldn't speak, she spat out a mouthful of blood violently, and then fell to the ground.

Jiang Xia was just startled, and then immediately turned around, but the people who saw this on the street had already gathered around, and Jiang Xia couldn't tell who shot a dagger from behind.

This is frame-up!

Jiang Xia's heart was suddenly shocked, he thought about the direction that the dagger was shooting from at this moment, it was not aimed at him at all, but at the little concubine.

All this happened between the lightning and flint, so it looked extremely like the concubine rushed over and stabbed Jiang Xia with a hairpin, and then Jiang Xia stabbed the concubine to death with a dagger.

"Xiaobi!" He Yunlai's main room ran over and picked up the body of the little concubine, she cried sadly, and then looked at Jiang Xia fiercely and said, "It's you, you are the murderer!" Everyone here has seen you kill Xiaobi, I see how the corrupt official will protect you this time. Walk! Follow me to the officer. ”

Saying that, He Yunlai's main room pulled Jiang Xia back to the outside of the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion, she took out the drumsticks that sounded the drum and beat it, and after a while, several yacha ran out. After learning what had happened, several yacha carried Xiaobi's body into the yamen of Shuntian Mansion, and at the same time called several so-called "witnesses" to go together.

Mrs. He hugged Xiaobi's body and cried bitterly, and Wang Baosheng returned to the lobby.

Wang Baosheng inquired about the course of the case, and asked several passers-by about what they had seen, but he did not ask about the situation in Jiangxia.

In the end, Wang Baosheng was shocked and pronounced the verdict: "The woman Huang Xiaobi, holding a hairpin, committed murder in Jiangxia, Jiangxia had no choice but to fight back in order to protect herself, and finally unfortunately killed Huang Xiaobi by mistake." This matter belonged to Huang Xiaobi's own evil intentions, and the blame was taken by herself, and it had nothing to do with Jiang Xia. Retirement"

"Shameless corrupt officials!" Mrs. He seemed stunned for a moment, and after two breaths of silence, she shouted hysterically.

Wang Baosheng frowned, and shouted angrily: "Above the court, if you are in the noise again, blame this official for the crime of roaring in the court." ”

"Dog officer, you are embarrassed, it is not enough to kill my husband, but also to kill my good sister, I want to sue the royal court, sue the royal court"

"Come on, drag it down, slap it thirty." Wang Baosheng shouted angrily.

The two officials immediately came out and dragged Mrs. He outside the hall to be executed, and the sound of "popping" slapping was endless, which showed that the force was not light.

Seeing this, Jiang Xia's brows furrowed even tighter. His eyes when he looked at Wang Baosheng became more and more cold.
