Chapter 104: Facing the Court
Six coins of silver, why don't you go and grab it! When she came out, Yuan Xiu said that these medicines are not expensive, and the main reason for buying them back is to do some conditioning, and they can be bought for only a dozen dollars.
Even if the price of the Li family's pharmacy is a little more expensive, it can be doubled at most, and it is only more than thirty dollars.
A guy actually dared to sell a medicine of more than 30 yuan for six yuan of silver, which is no different from Ming robbery.
The guy looked at Jiang Xi with disdain.
"I said six dollars is six dollars, if you can't afford it, get out of here! On New Year's Eve, I also came to buy medicine, I don't think I need to treat it, I just died, it's really unlucky. ”
"Who do you say, who do you curse to death!" Jiang Xi grabbed the broom next to him and pulled it at the guy's face.
"Hey, you little girl, you dare to hit someone, look at the master, I won't kill you today." The guy was in his early twenties, several heads taller than Jiang Xi, and he reached out and grabbed the broom in Jiang Xi's hand.
Although Jiang Xi is more solid than an ordinary ten-year-old child, he is not as strong as an adult man, and after several snatches, the broom was finally snatched by the man.
Jiang Xi simply opened his throat and shouted: "Someone is coming!" The guy at the pharmacy is still beating people for money, hurry up! ”
Originally, several people who were eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner nearby suddenly ran out of the house.
Some of them are watching the excitement, and some of them are really good-hearted and want to call the shots for Jiangxi.
She made such a fuss that even the shopkeeper in the pharmacy and the doctor who was drinking were forced to come out.
Seeing that it was a girl, the doctor's face was half dark.
"What is the noise, this is the Li family's pharmacy, it's not a messy place, you can't help but be presumptuous here! Someone, get her out of here! ”
This doctor is the only doctor in the town, and now the entire pharmacy is relying on him to make money. Even the shopkeeper did not dare to disobey him.
Suddenly, a few guys were going to come over to catch Jiangxi.
Jiang Xi was small but flexible, and after going around with them for a few laps, he jumped out and blended in with the crowd.
"Your family sells medicine like this, I think this pharmacy will have to close sooner or later!"
Jiang Xi crossed his waist with one hand, and pointed to the big words of the Li family's pharmacy with hatred like a little adult.
When she opened her mouth, she angered the doctor who was already a little drunk.
"You're still stunned for me, go and catch that little girl, I have to beat her up today!"
A few men looked at each other, and then at the shopkeeper, who thought that this doctor must not leave, otherwise their pharmacy business would be gone. So, he nodded to the guys.
"Arrest the people first."
Jiang Xi stood in the crowd, and those guys came to arrest her, and they were bound to collide with the others.
Some people who watched the excitement were not satisfied.
"What are you doing in the pharmacy, if you want to arrest people, you can't come and beat us!"
There are also some people who were dissatisfied with the pharmacy before, and even took this opportunity to stand in front of the door and loudly reprimand them.
This incident became more and more troublesome, and many people came to watch, and even the mayor of the town was alarmed.
The Shen family also sent someone over to inquire about the situation.
In order not to disturb the normal New Year of most people, the town finally brought Jiangxi and a group of people from the pharmacy to the small public hall in the town, and when they were taken away, Jiangxi also reminded: "Remember, take that bag of medicine too, that's evidence!" ”
The town knew her, and heard that it was important evidence, so they hurriedly asked people to take it.
When they arrived at the public court, Jiang Xi stood on the side, the people from the Li family's pharmacy also stood on the side, and the mayor sat on it with a majestic face.
"What happened tonight, why are you two arguing! Jiangxi, you say it first! ”
"Why did she say it first?" The doctor was dissatisfied.
In this Qingyang town, he is the only one who is a doctor, and those in other pharmacies are either lame, or they have long been crushed by their Li family pharmacy, and he is used to enjoying the flattery of others in the pharmacy on weekdays.
Now the mayor actually let a little girl speak first, not taking him in his eyes, is this mayor's brain confused? Don't please him, the sick people in this town are waiting to die!
The majesty of the mayor was touched, and he glared at the drunken doctor, and ordered his subordinates: "Tie this man up for me, and when you go to this court, you dare to look drunk, and you don't take the court in the slightest."
I am here, although it is only a small public court, it is also recognized by the court, and today you despise the court so much, I will first punish you with thirty boards!
Someone's coming! It's not fast yet! ”
In ancient times, the crime of contempt for the imperial court was very large, and the thirty boards were considered light.
The doctor of the Li family's pharmacy tried his best to resist, but he couldn't defeat several officials, and he was beaten by thirty boards in front of everyone, and his buttocks bloomed.
Jiang Xi estimated that if it wasn't ten days and a half months, he wouldn't even want to stand up.
It can be said that the mayor of the town said this to give her enough face.
Of course, there may also be face for the Shen family, after all, she saw Shen Yuanwai glancing at the mayor just now.
When the thirty boards over there were finished, and the mayor asked Jiangxi to speak first, the shopkeeper of the pharmacy had a few guys, and no one dared to say anything obstructive.
Jiang Xi quickly told the whole story, especially when it came to the guy cursing his grandmother, even the mayor was angry.
"It's serious!"
"It's not like this, mayor, don't listen to this girl's nonsense, I didn't say those words at all, I was wronged." The guy was still quibbling, but he was glared at by the mayor, and the rest of the words were swallowed in his stomach.
"Jiangxi, you go on."
"It's true, if he doesn't say that, I'll thunder." Jiang Xi looked at the guy who cursed her and almost hit her with a broom, and confronted him, "I dare to swear, do you dare!" ”
In this era, everyone believed in oaths and felt that there was an eye in the heavens watching them.
If you deceive the heavens and make an oath, it will definitely work.
"I ...... I ......," the man certainly didn't dare to swear, "I said those things because you said our store was going to close!" ”
He suddenly thought of what Jiang Xi said in front of everyone, and used it as a bargaining chip for himself to get out.
"Huh! Whether this is the case or not, you know in your own heart. Jiang Xi sneered, a man in his twenties, he didn't even have a little responsibility, and he didn't dare to admit what he had said.
"I said that if your pharmacy continues like this, it will go out of business, if nothing else, just take the medicine that only costs a dozen yuan, and you dare to sell it for six yuan of silver, your pharmacy should not be opened."
The mayor keenly grasped this point, and asked eagerly, "What six coins?" ”
Jiang Xi pointed to the medicine bag in front of him, "This is this thing, the medicine in it is a prescription written by Yuan Xiu for me to come out and grab the medicine, and he also said that these medicines are at most sixteen or seventeen yuan, but I went to the Li family pharmacy to get the medicine, and this guy actually wanted to charge me six yuan, and said that I love it."
Mayor Mare, do you think it's wrong for me to say that kind of pharmacy is such a deceptive drugstore? ”
Those people who were originally watching outside the hall also spoke up at this time: "That is, their family's medicine is so expensive, they can't afford it at all, and such a pharmacy can't be opened in the town at all, reduce the price, let them reduce the price!" ”
The power of the masses is also very great, and many people are clamoring to let the pharmacy reduce the price, and the shopkeeper of the Li family's pharmacy is frightened.
"Mayor Town, our ......"
"Ahem!" Shen Yuanwai suddenly coughed lightly, interrupting the pharmacy owner's words.
"I also sent someone to ask a few days ago, and the price of this Li family pharmacy is indeed unreasonable. Since Dr. Yuan left, it has been difficult to see a conscience pharmacy in the town. Mayor, I think you should adjust this matter appropriately, lest some people really think that our town's money can be made casually. ”
Shen Yuan's words are more effective than ten people and a hundred people.
The mayor slapped the table and settled the matter.
In the end, the solution went quite smoothly, fined the Li family pharmacy some money, and forced their pharmacy to return the price to a normal level. As for Jiangxi, he gave sixteen yuan and took the package of medicine away.
During the whole process, the person who really suffered was the arrogant doctor and the one who cursed Grandma Jiangxi, one of them suffered thirty boards, and the other suffered fifteen boards. On the way back, I can't do it without someone to help me.
Of course, the doctor's treatment must be much better than that of the guy, and several people supported him, compared to the guy who said that he was miserable, and from time to time he had to be disgusted and scolded by the person who was supporting him.
But Jiang Xi didn't notice these things, she was running home with the medicine at this time.
Luckily, the home is not far from town, and it didn't take a few steps to get there.
When the little scalper heard her return, he mooed.
"Xi'er, why did you just come back, what about the medicine, my mother took it to fry, your milk is a little bad, you go over and take care of it, don't always let your master and Yuan Xiu keep them busy."
Li took the medicine bag and hurried to the kitchen.
When Jiang Xi came to the old man's house, the old lady had already woken up, but she had been immersed in the big thing she had said before, and her mental state was not very good.
Jiang Xi walked in the door, and in the dim light of the oil lamp, Yuan Xiu noticed the stains on her clothes.
"Xi'er, did you go out to buy medicine and fight with people? There is no injury anywhere. ”
Jiang Xi shook his head and said in a low voice: "I'm fine, there was a little accident just now, I wasn't injured, but my clothes were dirty." Master, Yuan Xiu, don't tell my mother for a while, my mother is very anxious now, and I don't want her to be more sad for me. ”
The old man nodded: "Let's not talk about it, you go and change your clothes and nest on the kang, if you go out so late, you must be frozen." Don't worry about your milk, with us, she just can't think about it for a while, just wait a while. ”
Jiang Xi glanced at the old lady on the bed, opened the door and went out, and returned to his room.
