Chapter 213 Comfrey Paste (6)
"Don't worry, I won't fall for that desire." Without waiting for the fox to finish speaking, Xing Ruyi pounced in front of the fox and covered his mouth with his hand: "I believe in you!" ”
"Ruyi." The fox called her name softly, "Thank you, I thought you would be angry." ”
"Why are you angry, even if you really like a girl named Ruyi? What you like now is me, petted, and loved. Although I don't know how long your kindness to me will last, at least, you belong to me. As for your old accounts from hundreds of years ago, I can't turn them over, and I'm not interested in them. We cherish the present and live the present life well. ”
"I go out every day to heal." The fox automatically explained: "Some things are not good to do in the shop, the movements are too big, and it is easy to attract attention. ”
"I know, because every time you come back, you have pine needles on you. You're going to Funiu Mountain, right? ”
"You know, so you never ask me?" The fox asked suspiciously.
"Hmm." Xing Ruyi nodded lightly: "Do you blame me, I know it, but I still deliberately find fault from time to time?" Actually, it's on purpose, deliberately to let you know, I actually care about where you go, if you really fool around with other foxes, I'll be jealous and angry. ”
"I'll tell you when I go out later." The fox held her in his arms: "I didn't tell you before, I was afraid that you would worry." ”
"I'm worried, but the more you don't tell me, the easier it will be for me to get cranky." Xing Ruyi sneered: "You are so good-looking, in case you are taken by other girls, and then like that person, I will come to the shop from time to time to pester you, how annoying I am." ”
"I don't use this face to heal." The fox whispered, "Don't worry, no one will take a fancy to me except you." ”
"How strange does that sound like this, are you confident or not?" Xing Ruyi was talking to the fox in the shop, but suddenly there was a crying sound outside the shop, and the sound was getting louder and louder.
"What's going on?" She broke free from the fox and looked out of the shop, and as soon as she glanced at it, she heard a knock on the door.
When he hastened his pace, he came to the door, and when he opened it, he saw that there were many people gathered around the door, and the cry he had just heard came from the crowd.
"It's out! The shopkeeper of the Ruyi Rouge Shop is out! ”
"It's her, it's her, it's her, it's her who killed my daughter-in-law!"
Before Xing Ruyi could figure out the situation, she saw a woman rushing out of the crowd, and then grabbed her clothes: "Xing Ruyi, you must give me an explanation for my daughter-in-law's affairs." ”
"What about your daughter-in-law? Who is your daughter-in-law? Why should I give you an explanation? Xing Ruyi went to break the woman's hand, and the more she broke it, the tighter she squeezed, and the louder her voice became: "God, you can open your eyes and see, this unscrupulous shopkeeper killed my daughter-in-law." My good daughter-in-law, why did you die so miserably? ”
After the woman finished howling, the hand on the placket of Xing Ruyi's clothes was bounced away by a mysterious force, she first glanced at Xing Ruyi suspiciously, then sat on the ground, and howled on the ground with the appearance of a shrew that Xing Ruyi had never seen before: "God, why don't you open your eyes, this Ruyi rouge shop shopkeeper bullies people!" ”
"That...... Can you stop crying, don't howl, you have to make me understand how I bullied you, right? Xing Ruyi was confused, and when he saw a familiar face among the onlookers, he hurriedly waved his hand at him: "Brother Chang, it's good that you're here, can you tell me what the hell is going on." Who is she? Who is her daughter-in-law? The most critical question is, what does her daughter-in-law have to do with me, or with my Ruyi rouge shop? ”
Chang Tai heard Xing Ruyi's question, but just glanced at her lightly, and then pointed to a place to show her.
Xing Ruyi looked suspiciously in the direction Chang Tai pointed, and saw that there was a carriage parked outside the crowd, and there was a coffin on that carriage. The coffin is black, but there is no lid.
"What's that?"
"Lying inside is her daughter-in-law." Chang Tai explained: "She is Yang Liu, half an hour ago, she was also making such a fuss at the door of the mansion, but instead of asking for justice, she asked the adults to help her make the decision." She said that her daughter-in-law died of poisoning with comfrey cream from your shop. ”
"Comfrey cream? Poisoning? Xing Ruyi seemed to have heard some big joke: "This comfrey paste is not poison, how can it poison people." ”
"Of course I do." Chang Tai responded: "I have also used the comfrey paste in your shop, and nothing has happened to me." ”
"If you're okay, you can say that the comfrey cream in her shop is not poisonous? What did she just call you? If I heard me right, I'm calling you Brother Chang. Listen, big brother Chang, this is relevant. You don't have to protect her, it's my daughter-in-law who she killed, and my daughter-in-law who died with the comfrey paste sold in her shop. ”
"In this scripture, it is said that comfrey is bitter and cold. In "Don't Record", it is said that comfrey is not poisonous. I know what I'm talking about, you don't necessarily know, but there is more than one shop in Luoyang City, and this comfrey is not a rare thing, you can go to other pharmacies and ask those shopkeepers, this comfrey can be poisonous and may cause death. ”
"Even if the comfrey is not poisonous, it can't be said that your comfrey paste is not poisonous, maybe you have mixed it with poison." That woman is messing around, and there is a lot of posture that you don't admit it, so I'll talk about it until you admit it.
"Why?" Xing Ruyi was about to laugh: "Why should I sell poisonous comfrey paste to you, or to your daughter-in-law?" Do I know you? Do I have a grudge against your family? My Ruyi Rouge Shop is open for business, I am asking for money, not trouble, can I harm your daughter-in-law? ”
"Even if there is no injustice or hatred, it can't be said that my daughter-in-law is not harmed by you. Maybe you didn't mean it, but my daughter-in-law did die with the comfrey paste you sold her. ”
When the fox saw that the woman was unrelenting, he was about to use a spell to drive her away, but was stopped by Xing Ruyi shaking his head: "The clear person will clear himself, and I will deal with it." ”
"The one lying in the coffin is your daughter-in-law, right? Since you've pulled all the coffins to the door of my Ruyi rouge shop, you shouldn't mind if I go over to take a look, right? The things I sell in my shop are all made by myself, and I know best what the effect is. If your daughter-in-law really used the comfrey paste sold in my shop to die, don't worry, I will never deny it. ”
"The big guys heard it, she said it herself." The woman wiped her face and got up from the ground: "My daughter-in-law is lying in that coffin, if you dare to go to see it, you can go and see it." ”
Xing Ruyi said in her heart, what don't you dare, this is a ghost, not a ghost, she has seen it all, there is a fox, who is she afraid of.
Lying in the coffin was the daughter-in-law of the troublesome lady, I don't know if it was custom, the young woman had a veil on her face. Xing Ruyi leaned over, took the veil away, and saw a terrible face.
"How?" Chang Tai didn't know when he got behind her, and when he saw her staring at the face in the coffin, he thought she was frightened: "The pupils are dilated, and the mouth is open, as if he saw something particularly terrible before he died." At first, the servants in the government thought that she was scared to death, but after an inquest, it was found that she had indeed died of poisoning, and there were indeed traces of comfrey paste on her body. It's just that it's impossible to determine whether this comfrey paste was bought from your shop. ”
"The face is black, and the lips are blue, and it really looks like it has been poisoned." Xing Ruyi gently jumped down from the carriage and walked up to the woman: "You said that your daughter-in-law was poisoned to death by using the comfrey paste in my shop, but what about the comfrey cream?" Do you have one? ”
"What do you want to do? Don't think that if you don't admit it, you'll be fine. The woman watched vigilantly.
"As I said, this comfrey paste is not a rare thing, but almost every pharmacy in this city can buy it. Even if your daughter-in-law bought comfrey cream in my shop, you can't be sure that she only had problems with my comfrey cream. Besides, it is not certain whether the real cause of her death was comfrey cream. ”
"Denial, you are denial." The woman looked like she was about to be stunned, and pointed her finger at Xing Ruyi: "Let me tell you, even if you know the people in the yamen, it's useless, the big guys all have eyes and ears." You can't deny it, it's my daughter-in-law who you killed. Kill to pay for your life, you have to pay for it! ”
"Murder pays for life, I have to pay for it?" Xing Ruyi finally heard the point of the woman's trouble: "Okay, tell me, how much do you plan to let me pay?" ”
"Compensation...... Pay 5,000 taels, at least 5,000 taels. My daughter-in-law is dead, and my son must marry another one. It would cost five thousand taels to say the least. ”
"Five thousand taels, your family only spent a few dozen taels of silver to marry this daughter-in-law." Someone in the crowd of onlookers whispered: "Who doesn't know the virtue of your son, if it weren't for this girl's poor family, she wouldn't marry a bastard in your family." ”
"What do you say? Whose child is a bastard? I think you're a bastard. The fact that she can marry my son is a blessing that she has cultivated in eight lifetimes. Five thousand taels of silver, not one tael less. ”
"If I give you five thousand taels of silver, won't you make trouble at the door of my Ruyi rouge shop?"
"With silver, it's easy to say anything." The woman rubbed her nose: "This man is dead, after all, he is dead, and the living have to continue to live the life of the living themselves." I can't do it...... I can't be embarrassed by you for the sake of a dead man. ”
"That's good, five thousand taels is five thousand taels, if your daughter-in-law really used the comfrey paste from my Ruyi rouge shop to die, I will give you five thousand taels of silver. But if not, please also ask all of you present today to testify, I will go to the government to accuse you of gathering a crowd to make trouble and maliciously slander. I don't ask for much compensation, 500 taels is enough. How is it? Do you dare to say yes? ”
