Chapter Seventy-Three: Trafficking in Illicit Salt

Looking at these chaotic medicinal materials, Wei Yang was a little angry, so he called the guy who was in charge of inspecting the medicinal materials before.

"Look at these herbs for yourself! What's going on? Wei Yang threw all these medicinal materials in front of the guy and asked.

The guy picked it up and looked at it carefully, and was immediately startled, and then quickly shook his head and denied, "I really don't know why these medicinal materials are together!" I didn't touch these herbs. ”

"Since it's not the medicinal herb you moved, who else could it be? You put these herbs on after you checked them, and I told you to check them well, right? ”

"I really don't know what's going on, it was fine when I put it on yesterday, someone must have done it! Yes, someone must have done something to blame me! ”

After listening to the guy's words, Wei Yang could see that although this guy was sleek, he was not lying at the moment, after all, his eyes were straight because of the fright of this incident, Wei Yang fell into a deep thought, thinking about who did it, and Du An, who was doing it, couldn't help it.

"No one but you touches the herbs here. I advise you to admit it directly! A few officials, you can take him directly to the yamen for interrogation! I think he just refused to admit it, which hurt the bad people in our hospital and ruined the credibility of the hospital. ”

"No, I didn't do it, Brother Du, you can't do this to me, how can I admit what I haven't done, you can't just wronged me." The guy hurriedly retorted.

"You've also seen that you're the only one who has touched these herbs, isn't it who else you have? The evidence is already in front of you. ”

The guy was about to continue to explain clearly, but Wei Yang took the lead and asked, "You honestly confess, did you check these medicinal materials carefully and carefully when you checked them?" ”

"This ......" the guy hesitated.

Seeing that the guy was hesitant and was about to speak, Wei Yang spoke again, "You'd better think clearly now, if you don't explain it honestly, then don't blame me for not saving you." ”

After listening to Wei Yang's words, the guy was scared in his heart, so he no longer hid it, "I really didn't check the matter of this medicinal material, in fact, when the young lady was there before, she personally asked about it, and there was never any problem with this medicinal material, so this time I relaxed a little, but I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen, so I ......"

"The matter of medicinal materials must be carefully checked, how can you continue to use this chaotic medicinal herb again!"

"When Miss was there before, Uncle Du sent all the medicinal materials in separate packages, I didn't expect it to become like this, I was really wronged!"

After listening to the guy's words, Wei Yang fell into contemplation again, Wei Yang began to think that this matter was actually Du Feng's doing, after all, Du Feng had a very unpleasant scene in this medical hall two days ago, just to get the position of the shopkeeper of the medical hall and get the right to manage the medical hall smoothly, but they refused to throw him out of the medical hall, and he was injured.

So from this, it can be judged that this matter must be inseparable from Du Feng, not to mention that Du Feng had to help in the hospital yesterday, and even called himself to ask for forgiveness, thinking about it carefully, these things are related.

After thinking of this, Wei Yang at this moment can be said to have confirmed who did the ghost, so he led a few people back to the yamen to explain the details of the incident.

After listening to the whole process, Lord Zhao couldn't help but sigh and said, "Since there are clues to the matter, then we must continue to investigate, as long as there is conclusive evidence, we can arrest the criminal, girl, you can go home first to bury your father, and then we will apply for the case." ”

"Thank you, my lord, the folk girl will retire first!" After the woman finished speaking, she left the yamen and went home to settle her deceased father.

And here, Lord Zhao opened his mouth and said to Wei Yang and Wei Yan, "Regarding what you two brothers said about Du Feng, there must be conclusive evidence, and I will send someone to Du Feng's house to investigate." ”

"Don't bother Lord Zhao, about the matter of investigating the clues, our brothers will investigate, if you send someone to search, you will definitely startle the snake, let Du Feng and him dispose of all the clues, so our brothers will go to investigate secretly." Wei Yan thought for a while and said.

After hearing this, Lord Zhao felt that it made sense, after all, after beating the grass and startling the snake, it would definitely be difficult to find clues again, and he had also seen the ability of these two people, if they didn't have any ability, they wouldn't have found out that there was a problem with the medicinal materials in such a short time, and even made a series of things such as comparisons.

Now that the two brothers had made a promise to him, he chose to believe the two brothers, and then the two brothers left the yamen, intending to go to Du Feng's home to conduct an in-depth investigation.

"Brother, let's sneak into Du Feng's house at night to investigate, I've already prepared a sleeping incense." Wei Yan opened his mouth to speak, and then took out a bamboo pipe, the two sections of the bamboo pipe are still blocked, and it is obvious that what is placed in it is the sleeping incense.

Wei Yang looked at the bamboo pipe in Wei Yan's hand and nodded and replied, "Okay!" We'll go now, it's only an hour or two before it gets dark. ”

When night fell, Du Feng was too tired due to the busyness of the day, so he rested early, while at the same time, the brothers Wei Yang and Wei Yan were dressed in black clothes and veiled, and entered Du Feng's house over the wall.

Coming to the door of Du Feng's bedroom, Wei Yan took out the bamboo pipe from his clothes, poked a small hole in front of the window, pulled the bamboo pipe one end and blew it into the room through the window hole.

The two of them began to rummage through the cabinets in the room, and found a delicate wooden box placed in the innermost part of the wardrobe, and there were several layers of clothes on it.

After the two brothers opened the wooden box, they found that there were a lot of silver tickets inside, and there was a somewhat wrinkled paper pressed at the bottom of the silver ticket, which was opened to check, and found that it was a recorded bill, clearly recording the cost of each order, which added up to at least four or five thousand taels of silver, as well as some evidence that Du Feng sold illicit salt at a high price without permission, although there was no clue to the closure of the medical hall, but the sin of selling illicit salt was even greater! After taking some of it, the two put the rest back in their place.

Then the two left Du Feng's home and temporarily returned to the hospital.

Early the next morning, Wei Yang and Wei Yan went to the yamen of the official mansion, and when they saw the arrival of the two, Lord Zhao thought that these two people must need help, so he instructed his subordinates beside him, "You guys go and help the two of them go together!" ”

Then he said to the two brothers, "You two must not be enough, let these people accompany you, so that you can investigate faster." ”

However, after Wei Yang heard this, he couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Lord Zhao, you misunderstood, our two brothers came here today to inform you of the results of our investigation. “

"Oh? How quickly did you get results? Lord Zhao was a little surprised, after all, the two brothers only said yesterday that they were going to investigate, but they didn't think that it had only been a night, and they had investigated it, how could he not be surprised?

"Yes! Although we did not investigate the clues about the cause of the murder in the medical center, we did investigate Du Feng's home and found out that he was secretly selling illicit salt at a high price, which is part of it, you can take a look at it first. Wei Yang explained, taking out a note from his arms and handing it to Lord Zhao.

"What? How could such a thing happen? Lord Zhao hurriedly raised his hand to take the note and looked at it, the more he looked at it, the more shocked he became, he didn't expect this Du Feng to be so bold to do such a thing, and he was angry for a while.

Hurriedly instructed his subordinates around him, "You immediately take someone to Du Feng's house now, give this official a thorough investigation, and don't let go of any corner, and go to the two of you brothers together, bring the evidence found to the yamen, and arrest Du Feng together." ”

After that, the group walked from the government to Du Feng's home, and many people on the road were attracted by this scene, and they all looked sideways, and even some people who liked to watch the excitement followed behind, wanting to find out what was going on to use so many officials.

"Knock knock!" A quick knock on the door sounded, Du Feng slowly opened the courtyard door, and saw a line of officials when he entered, his originally worried eyes suddenly became stunned, and he was a little nervous along with the words he said, "A few officials, I don't know what you are here for?" ”

"We were ordered by Lord Zhao to search your house, and we suspect that you are selling illicit salt."

After listening to the words of the officials, Du Feng's heart suddenly panicked, he was very worried at the moment that the officials had really searched his home, then everything for him would be over, otherwise he must prevent this from happening, so he hurriedly said, "A few officials, you can't be mistaken, right?" How could I sell illicit salt without permission! After all, I also clearly know that those are illegal, and I think there is some misunderstanding among the officials! ”
