Chapter 43 Selling Counterfeit Medicines
The location of the pharmacy is very good, there is only this one pharmacy on a huge street, and the store is wide, so the business is usually very good.
As soon as Lin Mumu arrived on the street opposite the pharmacy, he saw a lot of people watching the excitement in front of the pharmacy, blocking the entire entrance of the pharmacy.
Lin Mumu put on a veil and got out of the carriage with Shuangshuang and walked over.
"Everyone, come and give me a review, this towering forest pharmacy is protected by a powerful and powerful person behind it, so he dares to sell fake medicine to us, everyone used to buy medicine here It's because everyone is lucky, and now my mother died violently after taking their medicine, and this matter can't be said like this!" As soon as he squeezed into the crowd, Lin Mumu heard a male duck howling.
"Yes, this pharmacy is really black-hearted, and it actually sells fake medicines."
"That is, sue them to the government, and let the people from the government give us a review."
"Didn't you hear him say, the powerful people behind this pharmacy are backing, even if it is sued to the government, can the government manage it, it is not our people who suffer."
"How can our medicine be fake, let me tell you, the master behind this pharmacy is the Third Imperial Concubine, and it is not something that you untouchables can afford to offend, if you dare to make trouble here again, I will be unkind to you!" A slightly chubby man in his forties, dressed in a dark blue robe embroidered with copper coins, stepped forward and pushed the troublemaker, glaring at a pair of eyes and saying angrily.
"How can he talk like that, isn't this ruining your reputation, Princess?" Rao is both brains are bright, and at this time, he also feels that what this person said is smearing Lin Mumu.
"Don't worry, big brother, let's go in and say something, if there is really a problem with the medicine in our pharmacy, we will definitely give you an explanation." Ning Xiang pushed away the two pharmacy guys who were blocking her, and said crisply to the troublesome man.
"Can you count what you say about this yellow-haired girl? Please let me in, hmph, don't think I don't know, if I go in with you, I'll still come out alive!? The troublemaker looked incredulous, and snorted coldly.
"What do you want?" Lin Mumu listened for a while and then walked out of the crowd and stood in front of the pharmacy looking at the troublesome man condescendingly.
"Emperor, Third Lady, you are here." Ning Xiang recognized Lin Mumu at a glance.
Lin Mumu nodded at her and Ning Yuan, Ning Xiang, she was not mistaken, she knew that the matter was in trouble, and it was the pharmacy that was seen as a joke, so it was more appropriate to call people away from public and solve the matter in private.
It's just that a teenage girl can think of something, but she doesn't know what she has been a shopkeeper in a pharmacy for more than ten years?
"Who are you?"
Shopkeeper Zhao, who was in charge of the pharmacy, looked unhappy when he saw Lin Mumu come out of the crowd.
Lin Ziyu's people came to tell him that when the pharmacy was temporarily under the control of the imperial concubine, he had a plan in his heart.
The third princess is the eldest lady of the Lin Mansion, he inadvertently met a few times when he went to the Lin Mansion to report the situation in the shop with the Zhang family a few years ago, which time he was not trained like a dog by the Zhang family, and the style of clothes he wore was not as good as the concubine in his family, and his personality was even more submissive and he didn't dare to put a fart.
Such a person took over the shop, and that didn't make him do whatever he wanted.
Who knew that two days ago, the third princess asked a girl whose hair had not yet grown and a stinky boy who couldn't even speak to him to ask for account books, and he was even more disdainful in his heart, he didn't believe that these two people could understand the accounts, let alone read the accounts, I am afraid that they don't even know the big characters!
He was not afraid, and directly asked the guy to give them the account books.
He had already known what was going on today, but suddenly a lady appeared, and he was a little impatient.
"I don't know which lady this is?" Shopkeeper Zhao sneered and looked at Lin Mumu mockingly.
Lin Mumu blinked his eyes and looked at Shopkeeper Zhao with a smile. "It doesn't matter which lady I am, what matters is whether you, the shopkeeper, can continue to work here after today."
Shopkeeper Zhao was stunned, and looked at Lin Mumu in a daze, what did the yellow-haired girl call her just now?
Three Ladies!
Shopkeeper Zhao immediately figured out the joints, and a flattering smile appeared on his face.
"It turned out to be the third lady, it was a small one who looked away, and asked the third lady to forgive me."
Lin Mumu ignored him, but looked at the man who was making trouble. "Say, what are you going to do?"
"He just said that this pharmacy was opened by the Three Imperial Concubines, I don't want anything, the medicine sold by the Three Imperial Concubines killed my mother, I want her to kowtow to me in person to apologize, and give my mother linen and filial piety!"
"Suck!"
"This, this Wang De is too bold to dare to say such a thing!"
"Yes, let the third princess kowtow to him and apologize, this, he is really not afraid of death!"
The people were frightened by Wang De's words, although they were angry and jealous of those powerful people whom they would never be able to match, and it was okay to say a few words of complaint and dissatisfaction, but they did not dare to provoke easily.
The third imperial concubine is the daughter-in-law of the emperor and the empress, and she wears linen and filial piety for Wang De's mother, which is because she thinks that her mother can be on an equal footing with the emperor and queen!
When the people heard this, they all stepped back, so as not to become fish in the pond that were affected.
"You're so bold, don't say if what you said is true, but as far as you just said, you don't have enough heads for a hundred heads!" Shuangshuang couldn't stand it anymore and shouted angrily.
Wang De may also realize that what he just said was a little excessive, his face turned pale, and he forced himself to stiffen his neck and said: "Everyone, look at it, these dog minions under the powerful are bullying people like this, my poor mother, it's my son who is sorry for you, you can't get justice if you are killed......"
"You keep saying that your mother died of medicine from the pharmacy, do you have any evidence?" Lin Mumu spoke unhurriedly.
Wang De took out a medicine bag from his body and opened it. "The ginseng and deer antler velvet in this are fake."
Lin Mumu walked down the steps and came to Wang De.
Wang De saw her leaning over, and subconsciously stepped back.
Lin Mumu raised his eyebrows lightly. "Don't be afraid, I don't eat people."
Wang De's face was a little embarrassed. "Who knows what the hell you're trying to do!"
Lin Mumu took a piece of ginseng and looked at it, smelled it, and then picked up a piece of deer antler velvet and looked at it.
"The ginseng and deer antler velvet in this bag are not real." It is a non-toxic and tasteless tree root specially crafted.
Lin Mumu's words made Wang De a little surprised, and after he reacted, he looked at Lin Mumu like a fool.
How can anyone smash their own field, women really have long hair and short knowledge, they are all idiots who can't hold up the scene!
"Three, third lady, how can the medicine sold by our pharmacy be fake, it is clear that this person changed the medicine in the medicine bag privately, this is to blackmail the pharmacy!" Shopkeeper Zhao listened to Lin Mumu's words, and his thoughts were similar to Wang De's, these three imperial concubines were really stupid than he imagined!
Lin Mumu ignored Zhao's shopkeeper, and then said, "You said that your mother died after taking the medicine from the pharmacy?" ”
"That's right, my mother died after eating the fake medicine sold in your pharmacy!"
"As for the prescription, bring it to me."
"If you want to see it, you can see it." Wang De took out a prescription from his body.
Lin Mumu took it and looked at it, this is a very ordinary prescription for nourishing the elderly, there is nothing wrong with the prescription, including the other medicines in the medicine bag, even if the ginseng and deer antler in it are not real, they will not be fatal.
"When did your mother die?"
"Just this morning."
Lin Mumu noticed that there was a cart behind Wang De, and there was a person lying on the cart, with only a straw mat on his body.
"Ning Yuan, go to Jingzhao Yin Mansion and ask the official to come over."
"You, your master is the Third Imperial Concubine, even if you invite the official to come, the official is also towards you, what's the use of you inviting it!" As soon as he heard that he was going to Jing Zhaoyin to find someone, Wang De was a little panicked.
"If you are afraid of unfairness, then I will let the official judge the case in front of all the people, if what you say is true, the third princess will definitely come to the door to apologize."
Lin Mumu has already said this, if Wang De is pestering, then he will not be reasonable at all.
"Third lady, there is no need to make trouble in Jingzhao Yin's Mansion in this matter." Shopkeeper Zhao suddenly walked to Lin Mumu's side and whispered.
"Do you have the right to decide the case?"
"This ......"
Jing Zhao Yin's Mansion was not far from here, and it only took Ning Yuan two quarters of an hour to bring people over.
"What's the matter, so many people are gathered here, the road is blocked, and how can people walk?"
"Who's going to tell me what's going on?"
When Ning Yuan went to call someone, he didn't reveal Lin Mumu's identity, and the two officials only thought it was a small friction between the people.
"Their pharmacy sells fake medicines, which killed my mother!"
"Huh? Selling fake medicines, you are not small! The official glared at the shopkeeper Zhao.
"This official, we are three ......"
"Shopkeeper Zhao." Lin Mumu didn't finish telling Shopkeeper Zhao and interrupted him directly.
"Official, he said that his mother died after taking the medicine from our pharmacy, and now her mother's body is on the cart behind, can you ask the official to let him come to the autopsy, otherwise this matter is not clear."
"What do you say? My mother was killed by you, and you didn't leave a whole body for my mother! When Wang De heard that there was going to be an autopsy, he almost didn't jump up.
It is not a strange thing to conduct an autopsy in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but for some people, there is still no way to accept it.
But before the law, there is no room for those who do not accept it. "All of you are going to my office." It doesn't look like this case can be broken in a while.
"Official, it's better to make this matter clear here." Lin Mumu said.
"The cause of the deceased's death is unknown, where can it be said clearly!" The official looked impatient.
"Yes, yes, yes, just decide the case here, otherwise you officials will protect each other, and I don't know if I can come out of the government."
At this moment, a person suddenly walked in the crowd.
The two officials were surprised when they saw the man, and they stepped forward to salute him. "Lin Tou'er, why are you here?"
The person who came was wearing an official costume, but the color of the belt was different from theirs, he had a square face, and his thick brows trembled and said: "I saw that there were so many people blocked here, so I came over to see what happened, I listened to it in the crowd just now, you immediately go and find the work, and the case is broken here today." ”
The two officials were a little surprised when they heard this, but they didn't dare to disobey their orders to go to the peak, so they obediently went to find someone.
Soon, the servant came with the official messenger.
Lin Mumu asked people to carry the body to the main hall of the pharmacy, and he couldn't directly conduct an autopsy on the street.
Shopkeeper Zhao was watching the straight road from the side, how could anyone carry the dead person to his shop!
