Chapter 68: Blackmail
A few days later, Duan Ling'er went to Cheng'an Hall early in the morning as usual.
As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the street, I saw a man with a bruised face running towards the sedan chair: "Master! ”
"What's wrong with you?" Duan Ling'er got out of the sedan chair.
The man waved his hand vigorously: "Master, you go back to the house and hide...... Someone is making trouble, and an official is coming to arrest you in front of our medical center!! ”
Here it comes! Duan Ling'er's heart jumped: "What about Doctor Cheng?" Is there anything wrong with her? ”
The guy shook his head: "Doctor Cheng was pushed by the troublemaker, but our people quickly fought with the troublemaker, and Doctor Cheng was frightened, but there was no big deal." ”
Duan Ling'er nodded, but not only did she not go home, but she strode towards Cheng'an Hall.
"Miss Duan."
In front of Cheng'an Hall, Xie Ci looked embarrassed.
The person surnamed Ding glared quickly: "Miss Duan, your medical hall uses fake medicine, do you know about this?" ”
At this time, the neighborhood led the three layers of the house and the outer three layers of the ground to surround Cheng'an Hall.
"Duanfu has a lawsuit......"
"Duanfu girl killed someone......"
For a while, there was a lot of talk around.
"The matter has not yet been clarified, and it cannot be said that Cheng Antang used fake medicine." Xie Ci's face was calm, and he nodded to Duan Ling'er.
Catch Lao Ding snorted, last time Guanyin Mountain saw that this thank you had a lot to do with Duan Ling'er, and now that the human and material evidence is there, do you want to defend her?
Duan Ling'er ignored the scrutiny and suspicion of the old man, but smiled at Xie Cihui, and then raised his feet and entered Cheng'an Hall.
I saw a door panel on the floor of the medical hall.
An old woman lay on the broken door, a fat white man sat on the ground crying, and next to him stood a young man with a thief's eyebrows.
Cheng Su sat at the table, and several of Cheng Antang's men had surrounded her to protect her, and a palm print was clearly visible on her face.
Cheng Su nodded to Duan Ling'er.
Everything was expected.
Duan Ling'er walked into the hall, Ruyi was beside her, and the two looked at everyone in front of them at the same time.
When the two men saw Duan Ling'er and Zhu Kuai coming in together, they immediately wiped their tears and said, "Brother Cha, my mother took his medicine, but she didn't get better but died...... Others read it and said that the ginseng in my medicine is fake......"
"Not bad! The opening of this new medical hall will cost my mother's life, and we want this girl to pay for her blood debt! ”
"Not only do you have to lose your life, but you also have to pay for your money, my mother, a hard-working person......"
The two men burst into tears.
Xie Ci squatted down and carefully examined the woman on the board, but did not speak.
Catch Lao Ding and take the shackles and was about to go to Duan Ling'er's side, but he asked Xie Ci to hold him.
"Brother Ding, wait a little longer, check carefully."
The two men glared at each other and pointed at Duan Ling'er: "Find out what?" It's her human medicine that killed my mother! ”
Duan Ling'er smiled lightly: "Since the opening of Cheng'an Hall, I have never shown people in the inner hall, and I have never visited the streets and alleys, and I have never seen the two of you, but you recognized me immediately." ”
Several people in the hall were stunned.
Yes, they all know that the shopkeeper of Cheng'an Hall is a girl from Duanfu, but at this time, two girls came in together, and they were dressed similarly, how could these two recognize Duan Ling'er at a glance?
The young man with thief eyebrows and rat eyes was stunned for a moment, and changed his tone randomly: "We also guessed, what does this have to do with you killing my mother?" In short, you will pay for your life in Cheng'an Hall! ”
"Yes!" The fat man immediately echoed this
The two of them said a word to me, crying and scolding, and finally scolded Duan Ling'er's ancestors.
At this moment, a little old man squeezed out of the crowd: "Let one go, let one go, let me take a look." ”
The old Zhao Tou appeared, and everyone present was secretly relieved, if he didn't come again, Duan Ling'er estimated that he would let Ruyi spit on the young man's face.
Lao Zhao Tou operated in front of the wooden plank and said "Huh".
Xie Ci helped him up: "Uncle Zhao, how is it?" ”
Old Zhao Tou frowned: "It was indeed poisoned and died...... But ......"
Before Lao Zhao's "but" was finished, some people outside coaxed: "Killed!" Sure enough, Cheng Antang killed someone! ”
"Impossible!" Suddenly, a man's voice penetrated: "Miss Duan will never do that!" I promise not! ”
Duan Ling'er and Xie Ci looked at each other, and Zhu Da, the oil seller, stood in the crowd with a look of righteous indignation.
Zhu Da since the last bazaar Duan Ling'er relieved him, has been inquiring about Duan Ling'er's identity, today suddenly found out that she is the master of the Duan family medical hall, joy is greater than surprise, this is a person who watches the excitement, but from the bottom of his heart he trusts this girl will never do anything to sell fake drugs and poison people.
"How not? This is clearly true! ”
"That's it! If you open your eyes wide and look at it, you can say that you are poisoned! ”
For a time, Zhu Da was attacked from all sides.
The young man with a thief's eyebrows cried out with a "wow", pointing to a big dustpan in a corner of the hall: "There, she is the fake medicine that I caught......
Cheng Su stood up: "This big brother, I told you just now, it's not a fake medicine." ”
Cheng Su said, walked out of the protection circle of the guys, walked in front of the young man in a few steps, pointed to the basket and said, "Don't spew blood." ”
A trace of confusion flashed on the young man's face, and he quickly pretended to be in pain and shouted, "You still don't admit it! My mother was killed by your fake medicine! Duan Ling'er smiled slightly, in fact, since the day she bought the medicine in the bazaar under the guidance of Zhou Jun, she ordered someone to dry the fake ginseng in the lobby in a dustpan.
But what outsiders don't know is that every time Cheng Su grabbed ginseng, he deliberately made a moment in front of this basket, and in fact, the ginseng sold by Cheng Antang was never taken out from here.
Duan Ling'er raised her eyebrows, her white and pure face was full of righteousness, she lowered her head and looked at the young man: "Are you sure you saw it taken out from there?" ”
The young man nodded affirmatively, "Yes, definitely." The ginseng that was taken out of it was caught for my mother to eat, my mother was seriously ill and needed to take ginseng to hang herself, but now she was drugged to death! My poor mother!! ”
Xie Ci glanced at the man and didn't make a statement, but took out the medicinal materials in the basket very calmly and gave it to Zhao Cheng: "Uncle Zhao, look at this." ”
I saw Lao Zhao Tou stepping over, and soon everyone quieted down, half-open their mouths and pricked up their ears, for fear of missing a word.
Old Zhao Tou smelled and tasted it, broke it and rubbed it for a while, and looked back at Duan Ling'er with a puzzled face: "This is not ginseng." ”
The two men who were originally panicked were relieved, and when they saw that it was about to be done, they suddenly became excited.
His eyes lit up, his eyebrows and lips trembled nervously: "Fake medicine, I said it's fake medicine!" ”
"It's not a fake medicine either." Old Zhao Tou said again.
Everyone was stunned.
If it's not ginseng, it's a fake medicine.
Neither ginseng nor counterfeit medicine, so what is that?
"It's Shang Lu." Cheng Su's face sank suddenly: "We."
How could it be possible to put precious ginseng here, it is Shanglu that is placed here. ”
looked at the others: "Shang Lu and ginseng are similar, although Shang Lu is much cheaper than ginseng, but the right medicine is the basic and conscience of our Cheng'an Tang Pharmacy, these two medicinal properties are very different or even completely opposite, I Cheng Su has been practicing medicine for a long time, don't you know that patients will die if they eat wrong?" ”
Duan Ling'er took the call and reprimanded: "Yes, is it possible that my Duan Mansion did not hesitate to use different kinds of medicinal materials to impersonate each other for the sake of your hundreds of dollars, smashed the signboard and then threw himself into prison?" Are we stupid? ”
The words of the two girls instantly caused everyone to nod.
Listening to this, it's really not cost-effective.
If it is said to be a change of medicine, it is generally a cheap medicine with similar medicinal properties to fill good medicine, and selling fake drugs is basically filled with other things that have no effect, and the merchant land with completely contradictory medicinal properties replaces ginseng, as a hawker, it is possible to do this, but the dignified Duanfu, the No. 1 shop of Tianzi on the long street, the annual rent is five hundred taels of silver, for a few hundred Wen, is this Ling'er crazy?
The young man suddenly panicked: "Or, is it because you doctor didn't pay attention to it, and grabbed the wrong place when you grabbed the medicine......"
Cheng Su had a calm face, walked to the medicine cabinet at the back, raised his hand, and displayed a drawer of golden people in front of everyone.
"Ginseng and Shanglu, the price difference is ridiculous, and the preciousness is not the same, we don't have the habit of selling broken ginseng here, how can we catch you wrong?"
Xie Ci stepped forward: "This woman has swelling in her throat, and there are signs of vigorous injuries on the teeth and gums in her mouth and the corners of her mouth, I suspect that this medicine has been poured down. Besides, this woman looks like she has just had a good meal and still has food scraps in her mouth, and she is not a person who is seriously ill and needs to be hanged with ginseng, as you say. ”
The people watching the excitement at the door were quiet for a while.
"This early in the morning, not only did you two brothers not serve the old man to eat some light rice porridge, but also arranged such a greasy and hearty meal for her, so it looks as if you have known that this is her last meal!"
Everyone present was in an uproar, from pointing at Duan Ling'er to glaring at the pair of brothers.
After listening to the words of thanks, Lao Ding finally reacted: "You two! Again, what did your mother do today? What have you all done? ”
"I, we...... ...... this morning"
Everyone's eyes instantly turned to the pair of brothers, and the two of them opened their mouths, and before they could say a few words, the shackles on their hands were strong.
The son poisoned his elderly mother and intended to use it to blackmail the innocent hospital.
It's just a matter of heaven!
The people and neighbors were furious for a while, and they all rushed up and beat the two men indiscriminately.
For a time, the shouts and scolding of "beasts" and "killing a thousand knives" were endless.
By the time Xie Ci and the others pulled the angry people away, the two men had already been beaten into pigs' heads.
As soon as the two arresters escorted the two out of Cheng'an Hall, a colleague suddenly hurriedly ran over and said breathlessly:
"Brother Ding! Shunhetang had an accident in the back street, Shunhetang used walnut bark as Qin bark to sell, dragging a patient to death, and now the patient's family is about to hit the pillar to ask for an explanation! ”
"It's endless!!" Lao Ding looked helpless, waved his hand to let the two arresters go back, and casually apologized to Duan Ling'er, and then urged Xie Ci and Lao Zhao to rush to the back street with anger on his face.
Xie Yi, who walked at the back, just nodded steadily to Duan Ling'er and didn't talk to her, and then quickly rushed over.
