Chapter 23: Confession of Poisoning

"How dare you hurt my daughter!" scolded the shopkeeper.

Ji Yanning stepped forward and reminded: "It's been so long, you don't have evidence, and he won't admit it." ”

Pearl Sai said: "It must be him, I have only been to Rong'an Hall once in the past six months to see a doctor, and it was Luo Kun who gave me medicine at that time, and he said that he wanted to marry me before, and he was scolded by me, and it was because of this that he held a grudge." ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he turned around and took a big thick wooden stick, and was about to go directly to Luo Kun.

Ji Yanning stepped forward to stop him.

"Shopkeeper Sai, don't be impulsive first, you hurt someone in the past, if he bites to death and doesn't admit it, you will be the one who is responsible. Ji Yanning said.

Mrs. Sai said angrily: "Then what should I do? I can't let him go on like this!"

The shopkeeper said: "That bastard, his own face is ruined, and he is a lazy man, and he dares to think about my daughter, it's a daydream." ”

Pearl Sai told Ji Yanning that Na Luokun lived in the same alley as them, and he was lazy and stole other people's money before, and was beaten and scratched his face. Because his father worked in Rong'an Hall, he got a job as a medicine catcher.

Once she went out and met Luo Kun in the alley and was stopped. Pearl Sai has never had a good impression of him, so he asked him to go away, but Luo Kun did something to him, and said that he wanted to marry her, Pearl Sai scolded him, and asked him to go back and take a good look in the mirror to see his appearance, Luo Kun was angry at the time, and threatened that she would regret it at all.

Since then, Pearl Sai took a detour when he saw his figure, where did he know that he went to Rong'an Hall to grab medicine, and found that the guy who grabbed the medicine was Luo Kun, although he didn't like it in his heart, but he didn't think much about it, but he really dared to poison himself!

Ji Yanning pondered for a moment and said, "He will admit it himself." ”

————

Rong'an Hall is a well-known medical hall in Jiangzhou, and there are more people who come to see the doctor and grab medicine every day than other medical halls, so there are more people working in it.

After the afternoon, the number of people who came to grab the medicine gradually decreased, Luo Kun put down the work in his hand, and whispered to the guy next to him: "I'll leave first, and the shopkeeper will say that I will go to the toilet." ”

Before the man could answer, someone was dissatisfied: "Luo Kun, you want to be lazy again, so you slip away in advance every day." ”

"What, do you still want to go to my father's place to denounce me?" Luo Kun glared at the complaining man.

The other party immediately stopped talking and continued to bury his head in the things in his hands.

Luo Kun sneered and went directly to the backyard.

"You're really, he's always been like this, so why bother not getting along with him and making yourself unhappy?" said the guy who was grabbing the medicine on the side.

The man frowned slightly: "I just can't get used to it, this kind of person should teach him a lesson." ”

"Forget it, who made him the son of the shopkeeper Luo. ”

Luo Kun couldn't hear those people discussing him behind his back, even if he knew him, he didn't care, his father was just one of his sons, and he was very conniving with him on weekdays.

He went to a nearby restaurant and asked for two pots of wine, a few side dishes, and walked in the direction of his home after eating and drinking.

Turning around and walking into the alley, a figure suddenly rushed out, and came up and gave him two big ear scrapers.

"I beat you to death, you dare to poison me!" Pearl Race beat Luo Kun hard, eager to kill him directly.

Luo Kun grabbed her wrist at once, and then saw the veiled pearl in front of him.

He was slightly stunned, a trace of weakness flashed in his eyes, and then he said, "What are you crazy about, why did I poison you?"

Pearl Sai said: "Don't think I don't know, when I went to Rong'an Hall to grab medicine four months ago, you did something in my medicine bag!"

"Don't slander people, you said you were poisoned, why are you still here?" Luo Kun argued.

Pearl Sai didn't expect that he really didn't admit it, so he ripped off the veil on his face at once, revealing a face that had almost recovered.

"Your face...... Isn't it poisoned?" Luo Kun was stunned for a moment and blurted out.

At that time, my father said that this poison was not something that ordinary doctors could do.

Pearl Sai glared at him angrily: "If it wasn't for your poisoning, how would you know that my poisoning would ruin my face?"

Luo Kun realized that he had slipped his mouth, and changed his words: "You are wearing a veil, naturally because your face is ruined." ”

"Huh. Pearl Sneered, "Do you think everyone will always be ugly like you? With the way you look now, you feel disgusting when you see it, and you don't pee to take pictures of yourself, and you're embarrassed to come out and be scary, I'm different from you......"

Her contemptuous and suspicious eyes made Luo Kun's eyes gradually sink, he glanced around, and found that there were only two of them in this alley, and he became bolder.

Luo Kun grabbed her arm, and his gaze became fierce.

"I can ruin your face once, and I can ruin your face forever, so that no one wants you, and you can only marry me. He curled his lips into a wicked grin.

Pearl Sai said: "Sure enough, it was you who poisoned it." ”

"What's the matter, do you have evidence?" Luo Kun pushed her directly to the ground, "Who will believe your words? Even if your old father knows, he can't even beat me." ”

"I don't know if I can beat it?" said Wu Zhutou, who walked around the corner and suddenly walked out.

Behind him, followed by the shopkeeper and his wife, Ji Yanning still had a few catchers.

Luo Kun's face suddenly turned pale: "Why are you here?"

When Mrs. Sai saw her daughter fall to the ground, she hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, and looked up at Luo Kun: "You thing that has lost all your conscience!

"Someone, bring him back!" Wu Zhutou said.

Several arresters quickly stepped forward and escorted him.

"Pearl Sai, you calculate me!" Luo Kun said angrily.

The shopkeeper stepped forward and slapped him in the face hard: "You poisoned my daughter, it's already light if you don't kill you!

Luo Kun showed green tendons on his forehead, staring at Pearl Sai, but he had nothing to say.

Wu Zhutou asked him to escort him back to the Yamen.

Ji Yanning stepped forward: "Thank you Wu Zhutou for your help." ”

The shopkeeper echoed: "Yes, thank you Wu Zhutou this time, otherwise that kid refused to admit that we had no evidence, but let him take advantage of the loophole." ”

"That's what I'm supposed to do. Wu Zhutou said.

He still remembered Ji Yanning, last time he used a clever trick to distinguish the real and fake thieves on the street, but he didn't expect that she was still the owner of Baochang Ji, the eldest lady of the Ji family.

Ji Yanning donated more than 50,000 taels of silver to the yamen, and their prefect yamen now knows that Baochangji is generous, so he will naturally be more concerned about their affairs.

"By the way, we seized 40,000 taels of money at Wei's house, and another 10,000 taels can only be offset by other valuable things. Wu Zhutou said to Ji Yanning, "You should be able to make up the money on the account in these two days." ”

Ji Yanning said: "Since this matter has been handed over to the yamen to handle, there is no need to explain the process to me. ”

She said lightly, as if the 50,000 taels of money were just a few pieces of broken silver to her, but there was no indifference in her cold eyes, but an attitude of trust.

Wu Zhutou suddenly thought of something, and said to Ji Yanning: "Do you remember the thief who stole the eldest lady's money bag last time?"

Ji Yanning nodded: "Naturally, I remember." His companion caught it?"

"His accomplice is dead. Wu Zhutou said, "We found that he died at the bottom of a remote alley, but the death was a little cruel, and there was hardly a piece of good meat on his body. ”

When he thought of the tragic condition of the corpse, he still felt a little sick to his stomach, after being a head catcher for so many years, it was the first time he had seen such a disgusting corpse.

Ji Yanning covered his nose slightly with his sleeve, as if he was a little uncomfortable.

Only then did Wu Zhutou react, he said such a thing to the eldest lady's girl's family, which might scare her.

"I'm sorry. He apologized.

Ji Yanning straightened his expression and shook his head: "It's okay, since the person is dead, forget it." ”

Wu grabbed his head, bowed his hand, and took his own people back to the yamen.

Pearl Sai stepped forward, knelt down directly, and kowtowed to Ji Yanning: "Thank you, Miss." Not only did he heal my face, but he also punished those who hurt me. ”

Ji Yanning stretched out his hand to help her up: "I just want your father to be able to do things in Baochang Ji with peace of mind." ”

Pearl Sai said: "For me, this is like the grace of recreation, can I follow you to learn medicine?

"This ......" Ji Yanning was speechless for a while, a smile flashed in his eyes, and explained, "I'm not a doctor, you can't learn medical skills with me, if you like it, you can go to Bao'an Hall to be an apprentice." ”

"Then I'll be a maid by your side. Pearl Race said without being discouraged.

The shopkeeper couple on the side were dumbfounded.

Ji Yanning said: "You are the treasurer of the shopkeeper, and he will feel distressed to be my maid." ”

The shopkeeper said: "If you can follow the eldest lady, it will also be her blessing." ”

The eldest lady has outstanding abilities, and if her daughter follows the eldest lady, she can learn a lot of things.

Pearl Sai looked at Ji Yanning expectantly: "Look, Daddy agrees." ”

Ji Yanning now only has two first-class maids around him, Ziyu and Zisu, and there is indeed a shortage of manpower.

After getting along in the past few days, she feels that Pearl Sai has a good temperament, she is a clever person, if she is her maid, it will also save her the trouble of picking people, it just so happens that Pearl Sai is interested in drugs, and she can help a little when she makes drugs.

She said: "Okay, when your face is better, go to the Ji Mansion to find me, and you won't sign the deed of sale, when do you want to go home and talk to me." But around me, you have to learn the rules. ”

Pearl Sai smiled and said, "I know, thank you for the fulfillment." ”
