Chapter 41 Conditions

"Open the door, open the door."

"We are the county government officials handling the case! Open the door, the people inside! The rough voice seemed to be impatient.

"the black-hearted ... Sell us fake medicines... Eat the dead... Paying for my life... The cries of the women mingled with it.

The movement of the night is particularly attention-grabbing, and when people on the street poured out to investigate, they saw that Zhou's shopkeeper was escorted away by several officials, the guys in the pharmacy ran around, and Zhou Liniang cried pear blossoms with rain.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? "People are asking.

"I heard that they are selling fake medicine and eating dead people...."A well-informed person said, pointing to a few men and women who followed the official errand with linen and filial piety.

After the news spread, the discussion on the street became more lively, with some believing and some unbelieving.

"Didn't you just say that there are pharmacies that sell fake medicines, other pharmacies can sell them, and it Qianjintang can naturally sell them, what's so unusual!"

"No, no, that pharmacy doesn't sell fake medicines, oh, the little lady of the Gu family, An An, is back....."

"Is that blackmail?"

"Hey, isn't that the little lady of the Gu family, ask her ....."

Gu Bainiang stood in the dark corner of the street wrapped in a thin cloak, but she didn't expect to be seen, and when she heard the question, she smiled and said: "That pharmacy is not selling fake medicines, it was deliberately blackmailed, and it has been found out and punished by the government." ”

"Oh, maybe the shopkeeper was blackmailed that week."

Gu Banniang was hidden in the night, and a smile appeared on her face.

"Eighteen Niang, Eighteen Niang..."Cao's call came from the alley.

Gu Bainiang answered, looked at the brightly lit Qianjintang again, turned around and walked away, the night wind swirling through the alley, rolling up the corners of her clothes.

Shopkeeper Zhou, good luck.

Shopkeeper Zhou had no good luck this time, and at noon on the second day, the seal of the county government was pasted on the door of Qianjintang, and the man in the pharmacy was also taken away for questioning.

I heard that it was Master Dong and two medical doctors who personally verified that the medicine that Shopkeeper Zhou bought for the patient was fake, and there were still a lot of them in the Qianjin Hall.

Master Dong spoke in the medicine store, that is, Chrysostom Yuyan, and no one suspected that Shopkeeper Zhou was blackmailed.

At the same time, Peng Yizhen sent a young man to invite Gu Bainiang to the county jail, saying that Shopkeeper Zhou had something to say, if it was convenient, come and listen to it.

Cao naturally disagreed with her daughter going to that kind of place.

Gu Bainiang thought about it, there were some things she didn't plan to hide from the Cao family, such as she and Shopkeeper Zhou buying medicine at the same medicine stall, and some things had to be hidden, such as she had already recognized those fake medicines.

"Xu wants me to testify that those are not counterfeit drugs." Gu Banniang said with a smile.

Cao Shi nodded, only then was he a little relieved, "Then you can go, just say whatever you want." ”

In that life, not long after her mother was buried, her brother was locked in a cell, and she seemed to be the only one left between heaven and earth, squatting helplessly in front of the cell and crying for two days and two nights.......

She reached for the cell door and closed her eyes.

"Little lady Gu, I'm not used to this place." The young man who brought her noticed her gaffe and asked in a low voice.

No one would be used to this kind of place, Gu Banniang smiled when she heard this, and followed him.

"....Shopkeeper Peng was talking to Shopkeeper Zhou, and suddenly said that he wanted to invite you to come...."The young man said apologetically again in a low voice, "It's really true to let the little lady come to this place..."

Through the cell door, Shopkeeper Zhou and Peng Yipin sat opposite each other, and the expressions of the two could not be seen clearly in the dark room, and the footsteps made them all turn their heads to look.

"Little Lady Gu is here." Peng Yizhen stood up and said.

Gu Bainiang nodded, and before she could speak, she heard the shopkeeper Zhou inside sneer.

Peng waved his hand at the young man, and the young man immediately retreated, the people of Xianren County were good, and the rule was peaceful, and there was only one suspect in the cell, the shopkeeper Zhou.

"Little lady Gu, you are so good!" Shopkeeper Zhou said coldly.

Gu Bainiang took a few steps closer, and looked at the shopkeeper Zhou sitting on the ground in the cell wearing prison clothes, unkempt hair, and not seeing him all night, he looked very embarrassed.

"Shopkeeper Zhou, is it still interesting to fight for some tongues at this time?" Gu Bainiang smiled and said lightly, not sneering at his words.

"Sure enough, you already knew that ..... you deliberately let me buy fake medicine, it's you, it's you..."

Peng snorted and sat on the bench without moving.

"Shopkeeper Zhou's words are interesting, just because you buy medicine at the same medicine stall, if you buy a fake, should I also buy a fake? If not, am I the one who framed you? Shopkeeper Zhou, at the medicine party that day, thousands of people bought medicine, is it unfair for you to say that I framed you? Gu Banniang said lightly.

Peng Yizhen laughed on the side, "That's it, Shopkeeper Zhou, what you said is really crazy." ”

Shopkeeper Zhou's face was purple, he grabbed the column of the cell, and said hatefully: "Peng Yizhen, you don't pretend to be crazy and stupid for me here, everyone knows what is going on!" You fucking knew it was fake! ”

"Shopkeeper Zhou, since you know it in your heart, why don't you go and tell the county lord that I Gu Bainiang was going to sell Qin Pi that day, and I was accidentally robbed by you, so it is my sin to kill people with this fake medicine." Gu Bainiang said slowly, said with a smile, and looked at Shopkeeper Zhou, "But I really don't understand, if I know it's a fake medicine, why should I buy it?" ”

"Because you want me to buy it!" Shopkeeper Zhou slapped the doorpost and shouted.

This is true, but it sounds logical and unreasonable to anyone, Peng Yizhen laughed.

"Look at Shopkeeper Zhou, you're really crazy! Why do people want you to buy it? He asked, patting his leg.

The cell suddenly fell silent, and the eyes of Shopkeeper Zhou swept over the two people in front of him, and finally fell on Gu Bainiang's face, in the dark and unknown cell, the girl's thin face was a little pity and a little ridicule.

"Shopkeeper Zhou, why do I want you to buy fake medicines? Do I have a grudge against you? Gu Bainiang looked at him, with a smile on her face, but there was no smile in her eyes, and she slowly said word by word, "You don't have the intention of harming me, why should I harm you?" Shopkeeper Zhou, are you right? ”

She knows! She knew it from the beginning? How is this possible?

Shopkeeper Zhou grabbed the pillar, his face full of disbelief and dazedness.

How did things come to this? This is obviously a down-and-out daughter who doesn't go out of the door and doesn't know the world, how can things be like this? How could I keep carrying her by the hand again and again?

This can't be, this can't be, it's not true, this must be me dreaming.

Shopkeeper Zhou suddenly hit the doorpost with his head, and blood flowed down his forehead.

By the way, it must have nothing to do with her, this is all a ghost idea that Peng Yizhen came up with!

"The surname is Peng!" Shopkeeper Zhou stretched out his hand to wipe the bloodstains, and looked at Peng Yizhen viciously, "I admit it, what do you want?" ”

Peng Yizhen put away a rough smile on his face, he slowly stood up, and looked at Shopkeeper Zhou stretched out his hand, "Except for you and your daughter, everything else belongs to me." ”

Shopkeeper Zhou was stunned at first, then furious, and laughed angrily, "The surname is Peng, you are crazy...."

"Okay, then do you want me to go and tell the county lord that what I bought at the medicine stall is Mai Dong Xu Root, or do you actually buy a fake Yuanzhi, and we all fell for the medicine dealer?" Peng Yizhen said.

"You say it, you can say whatever you want, you think you can kill me with this....." Shopkeeper Zhou said angrily.

"What if I'm going to kill you?" Peng interrupted him with a needle and said coldly.
