Anjitang played a signboard: all the medicinal materials in the hall were purchased in Liumian Mountain, Shuzhou, and cultivated and planted by the conscientious doctor star fruit himself. On the first day of the signboard, there was a long queue at the entrance of Anjitang, and even people who were not sick came to buy medicine.

When asked why, the people replied with a smile: "In these days, it is not easy to buy some real medicinal materials. Since it was cultivated and planted by Dr. Yang himself, it is not wrong to buy more tuning. ”

"That's it!" An aunt lowered her voice and said mysteriously: "Today's emperor uses all the gastrodia of the Liumian Mountain, and we ordinary people can buy tribute, but don't we pick up a big bargain?" ”

"Medicinal materials, in addition to curing diseases, also nourishing the body and prolonging life. For Dr. Yang's character, this medicinal material must also sell well. No, I have to hurry up and buy more supplements, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to grab them next time. ”

On that day alone, the threshold of Anjitang was almost trampled on, and Shopkeeper Hu looked at the profits of this day and laughed with an old face.

He even thought it was good like this, so he took the account book and went to the housekeeper to discuss: "According to this posture, Anjitang earns 30,000 or 40,000 taels of silver a year." That girl is a cash cow, it's better to ......"

Steward Zhou earned a feather to tease the bird, and when he heard this, he glared at him with squinted eyes: "Thirty or forty thousand taels of silver will blind your dog's eyes?" ”

Shopkeeper Hu ate this drink, his face was a little unbearable, and his bright smile was too anxious, and he froze directly on his face.

"Go back!" Steward Zhou continued to tease the bird, without raising his head: "Do your own thing, and when it becomes something, your little food is indispensable." ”

The shopkeeper Hu withdrew in a daze, holding the account book and sighing all the time.

Star fruit knew that Anjitang used her as a signboard to sell medicine, and it was already five or six days later.

These days, Qiao An is unconscious, she took leave from the pharmacy and has been by Qiao An's side, carefully taking the pulse and taking medicine, and rarely even going out of the door.

Suddenly hearing the news, she was still a little confused: When did I say that the medicinal materials of the Liumian Mountain were all cultivated and planted by me? A mountain is so big, can I grow it alone?

Carambola went to find Shopkeeper Hu, but Shopkeeper Hu smiled nonchalantly: "It's a means of distribution, why care so much?" ”

"But you're lying!"

"But is there a problem with the medicinal herbs of your Liumian Mountain? You can't afford the trust that the people have in you? ”

"It's not the same thing at all!" Carambola felt very awkward, and almost forcefully asked the shopkeeper Hu to clarify the facts: "My carambola will never deceive in my life, you can't use my name to deceive people." ”

"Okay, okay, got it." Shopkeeper Hu waved his hand impatiently to let the star fruit out.

The next day, the signboard was picked, but many people showed up to publicize that the good medicines that killed Anjitang were all planted and managed by carambola, which was the quality of the royal tribute.

The star fruit was stopped, and he also explained it personally at the door of the pharmacy, and even said that the gastrodia supplied to Anjitang would definitely not be up to the quality of the tribute......

But it didn't work, and I don't know why. Within a few days, the legend of the battle of wits and courage between star fruit and Huichun Hall was spread all over the capital, and some storytellers even made it into a story to give a speech in the teahouse.

Star fruit has a great reputation, and it is also famous in Liumian Mountain.

Keeping up with this craze, the medicinal materials in the six mountains in Anjitang were all snatched up. With ordinary people alone, it is impossible for thousands of catties of medicinal materials to be sold so quickly. It is really the name of star fruit and Liumian Mountain that is too loud, attracting the attention of many princes and ministers. The family purchased dozens or hundreds of catties, and soon emptied the warehouse of Anjitang.

Carambola herself has become a national hero-like figure, and her deeds are praised in the streets and alleys, and Huangkou children will be in awe when they hear the name of star fruit.

This phenomenon is incredible.

Carambola was still anxious to clarify the facts, but Qiao An had been in a coma and didn't get better, almost all of her thoughts were spent on it, and she went out and said twice that it didn't work, so she didn't say it anymore.

After all, she has confidence in the medicinal materials of Liumian Mountain, and the medicinal effect and quality are worthy of her star fruit's conscience.

But it didn't take long for something to happen.

One after another, some people found that the medicinal materials of Liumian Mountain were fake!

It can't be said to be a fake drug, the medicine is still called that name, but the effect is almost gone. The precious gastrodia has been boiled several times, and the essence part has already been used for other purposes. What they bought was nothing more than empty gastrodia in the shape of gastrodia.

The people of the capital were furious, and the princes and ministers who had suffered losses were even more angry.

"The trick of cheating and abduction has been used at the feet of the Son of Heaven, what a big dog!"

Jing Zhaoyin sent officers and soldiers to seal Anjitang, and even directly broke into the door of Carambola's house and took her directly to the court.

Shocked, Jing Zhaoyin, who was sitting in the hall, was in a trance: "Last time, you sued others for abduction, but this time, you yourself became the defendant for the same crime." ”

Star fruit bit her lower lip tightly and didn't speak, if she didn't know that she had fallen into the trap at this time, then she wouldn't be star fruit anymore.

Since the other party is prepared, it is the soldiers who will block it and the water to cover it. Side, nothing is useful.

Because there were too many people involved and the amount was too huge, Jing Zhaoyin did not dare to take it lightly.

The medicinal herbs purchased by the victim were taken out for testing, and almost all the medicinal herbs had lost their efficacy. Jing Zhaoyin's face darkened, and he was even more shocked: "Yang, do you still have something to say?" ”

Carambola was not panicked, and stated the truth in a clear manner: "It is true that these medicines have lost their efficacy, and it is not false that I have sold thousands of catties of medicinal materials to Anjitang." But these medicinal materials are not the medicinal materials of my Liumian Mountain. They were deceived, and it has nothing to do with me. ”

"Who in the whole capital doesn't know, Anjitang sold out the medicinal materials in such a short period of time under your sign......" Some people scolded loudly, they all went to the name of star fruit, and now that there is a problem, star fruit dares to say that it has nothing to do with her.

Jing Zhaoyin drank it directly, and Guan Anjitang asked for evidence: "You wait until you say that there is evidence for the supply of star fruit?" ”

Since he is intent on framing him, there will naturally be no shortage of evidence. From the account room to the warehouse management, the shopkeepers came out one by one to testify, and the account books and flowing water were moved out one by one, which was almost ironclad evidence.

The star fruit bit her lower lip lightly and couldn't say a word for a long time.

"Yang, do you have anything to say?"

"The women of the people are wronged!" Star fruit kowtowed, but she couldn't get evidence of it. When the goods first came, she asked the shopkeeper Hu to inspect the goods. At that time, the shopkeeper Hu said that he was too busy, so he put it in the warehouse first.

Later, Qiao An had an accident, and Star Fruit patronized Qiao An, just thinking about pushing the matter of An Jitang, who knew that this push would be such a situation.

Without inspection, no one could prove that she had given Anjitang the best medicinal herbs.

"Since there are all human and physical evidence, and you don't have any evidence on the side, then the official will be sentenced......"

"Wait!"

Yang Chunxiao hurriedly came, and when he entered the court, he arched his hand and said: "I have evidence to prove the innocence of star fruit." ”

He took out a large stack of letters from his arms and presented them, and Jing Zhaoyin frowned when he saw it.

Anjitang was not clean up and down, and everyone accepted the money from Steward Zhou of Prince Dun's Mansion, and after the accident in Huichun Hall, Steward Zhou became the boss of Anjitang.

With the grievances between Huichun Hall and star fruit, Manager Zhou will kindly take medicine from star fruit, will invite her to be a signboard, and hold her like a fairy?

Without looking at the box of samples that Yang Chunxiao asked for from the dart bureau, Jing Zhaoyin also smelled an obvious conspiracy.

Carambola is indeed innocent, but it is a matter of Prince Dun......

The last Rejuvenation Hall incident had already made Prince Dun unhappy, and this time he attacked him again...... At present, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who is fully supported by Prince Dun, is already in charge of the country, and Prince Dun himself is becoming more and more valued by the emperor. Just the day before yesterday, the Criminal Department was also under the control of Prince Dun......

Jing Zhaoyin is a good official, but a good official also spares his life.

He temporarily imprisoned the star fruit and hurriedly withdrew from the court. It is not clear which of the people will be convinced, and there will be a lot of trouble inside and outside the hall. Jing Zhaoyi left with difficulty under the full protection of the officials.

Handing the evidence to Prince Dun, the prince's still elegant and gentle eyebrows suddenly sharpened: "What does this mean?" ”

Jing Zhaoyin can be regarded as honest and upright, and said bluntly: "When the case of Huichun Hall was reviewed, Steward Zhou personally went to the court to supervise the handling of the case. In order to prevent others from speculating that the Rejuvenation Hall is the property of the prince and ruining the reputation of the prince, the law was impartially enforced and the Rejuvenation Hall was raided.

This Anjitang incident, all kinds of signs show that it has nothing to do with Steward Zhou, and even Qiao An's injury ......"

As an official, speak rigorously. Jing Zhaoyin had no evidence that Steward Zhou seriously injured Qiao An, so he could only stop at the point: "Although Steward Zhou is just a minion, he is also involved in the face of Prince Dun's Mansion. So many things have happened in such a short period of time, and the lower official asked the prince to show him, how should this case be judged? ”

The prince slapped the evidence on Xiao Ye Zi Sandalwood's table, and his face became darker and darker: "How to judge, how to judge, is my Dun Prince Mansion a place to hide filth and dirt?" "You put all the evidence before this king, and this king has no other choice? Do you want to show that this king connived at his subordinates to violate the law and discipline and commit evil deeds in front of the officials of other factions?

The upright Jing Zhaoyin didn't sell his favor, but touched his nose. He bowed his hand in a sneering manner and took his leave.

But when Jing Zhaoyin returned to the Yamen, the palace sent someone over to pass the word, saying: "Wang Yezai has carefully examined it, and this matter has nothing to do with Steward Zhou, let alone Prince Dun's mansion." Everything was planned by the black-hearted businessman Hu Zhang, and all the medicinal materials purchased from Liumian Mountain were stored in Hu Zhang's courtyard on the outskirts of Beijing. ”

The person who delivered the letter also brought a letter to Jing Zhaoyin: "Steward Zhou has a heart disease, and I heard that someone pretended to be his name as a traitor, and he fell ill in a fit of anger. How many doctors have gone to see it, and they have already gone without using it. Ming'er's Zhou family is going to hold a funeral, if the adults sympathize with him for his aggrieved death, they can go to the mourning hall to put incense. ”

This......

An Jitang's case didn't wait for Jing Zhaoyin to be tried again, and those 'criminals' all committed suicide in fear of crime. Jing Zhaoyin took out the real medicinal materials of Liumian Mountain and exchanged them for the victim according to the amount.

Even so, this conclusion did not convince the people of Beijing. Rumors gradually spread on the street that the star fruit was powerful and that the officials had murdered the shopkeeper Hu. Even more good things connected the previous incident of the Rejuvenation Hall, they said: "Where is the Rejuvenation Hall abducted and deceived, it is the lack of money and the madness of this young couple, who framed the Rejuvenation Hall." ”

"I heard that the one named Joan is going to take the exam next year? You say that such a person is going to become an official, but we ordinary people still have a way to live? ”

"That's the reason, and he must not be allowed to pass the test."

"It's because he can't even get into the exam room!"
