Chapter 1: The Danger of Yufeng Hall
Everything wakes up, the spring rain continues, the earth is full of vitality, the insects and birds are also singing in this spring rain, and the whole world is in a state of new weather.
Isn't Bai Yufeng, who is working the case, just like the revival of heaven and earth, seventeen or eighteen years old is upright and young, full of masculinity and vitality.
With long and powerful sword eyebrows, eyes as bright as bright stars, and the angular muscle lines on his body can still be seen through his clothes.
But the most striking thing is the hands holding the pen.
The skin on the top of the five fingers was as rough as the bark of an old tree, and it didn't look like a young man's finger at all, and an old farmer who often worked in the fields would not have such weathered palms.
Not to mention, he would never look like a farmer in the fields.
His right hand stopped writing, leaned his upper body against the back of the chair, and he muttered to himself: "The combined turnover of all the halls is converted into 30,560 taels of silver, and the cost is 30,212 taels, and this month's Yufeng Hall actually earned more than 300 taels of silver!"
Yufeng Hall is Bai Yufeng's industry in Arashiyama City, and it mainly deals in the sale of pills.
The elixir in the Jade Wind Hall is powerful, but the price is less than half or even lower than that of other medicine shops, and the magical effect coupled with the low price has made the Jade Wind Hall quickly famous in this Arashiyama City.
In less than a year, Yufeng Hall has more than 50 branches inside and outside Lanshan City.
This is already quite a remarkable and even eye-catching scale, but it is still difficult to change the status quo of Yufeng Hall.
-- There is hardly any profit every month.
These nearly sixty branch halls only earned more than 300 taels of silver a month, and Bai Yufeng was actually very happy.
Ordinary people can't understand why he did this, even if you raise the price of the pill a little, I'm afraid that you will earn countless times more than now.
But I am happy to buy a thousand dollars, Bai Yufeng not only does not want to change the status quo, but is even very satisfied with this situation.
Even if Yufeng Tang really lost money, he felt that it was not impossible for him to pay for the remaining loopholes.
Looking at the continuous drizzle outside the window, Bai Yufeng muttered to himself again: "Dad, Yufeng Hall has begun to take shape, I will definitely get back what belongs to you sooner or later, and you will be well in the Heavenly Spirit." ”
A faint sadness and loneliness appeared on Bai Yufeng's handsome face, and his thoughts touched the parting relatives, which always made people feel extremely sad, and he could not be an exception.
But after the sorrow, there is more determination, the dead cannot be traced, and there are still many things to do in his future.
Closing the account book, Bai Yufeng got up and walked towards the door, and just stepped out of the door, he saw a person coming head-on from the rain, but fortunately, Bai Yufeng reacted in time and hurriedly stopped this person.
Looking up and seeing Bai Yufeng, he didn't even have time to apologize before he hurriedly said, "Childe is not good, something is wrong!"
Bai Yufeng said, "What's wrong?"
The young man spoke like beads, and said quickly: "There is a person who ate the Qingling Pill we sold and died, and his relatives and friends are all making trouble in the No. 5 store now!"
Bai Yufeng exclaimed: "The Qingling Pill is a healing medicine, even if it has no medicinal effect, it is impossible to eat the dead. ”
The young man said again: "But those people did not give up, did not listen to our explanations at all, and threatened to go to the City Lord's Mansion to seek justice. ”
The problem that Bai Yufeng had been worried about finally came.
Yufeng Hall has a sacred status in the hearts of the people, and there are countless people who give gifts to Bai Yufeng every month, but because of this, it has a devastating blow to peers who also sell medicine.
Almost all the customers who used to go to other stores to buy medicine turned to Yufengtang, and the pills with the same medicinal effect can be bought here at a cheaper price, who would go to other stores?
Therefore, although Yufengtang didn't make much silver, this kind of thing is more troublesome than making silver, and your peers will even think that you, Yufengtang, are sincere and dedicated to bringing us down.
Now that this kind of thing happened, the first thing he thought of was the other pharmacies in Arashiyama City!
Bai Yufeng hurriedly said, "Let's go, take me to have a look." ”
Before he could take a step, he saw another man running from outside the villa.
"Childe, it's not good, something happened. ”
Bai Yufeng's face sank, and he said, "What's the matter?"
This person was also out of breath and said, "The twelfth store...... Someone in shop 12 ate our pill and died, and now it is surrounded and blocked. ”
Less than half a minute after he finished speaking, another person hurried over with rain and sweat.
"Childe, the customer of the nineteenth store ate the pill we sold and was poisoned, and the family members are making trouble in the store. ”
"Childe, something happened to the fifteenth store, you go and see ......"
"Childe, come with me to take a look, the No. 24 store was smashed into ruins......"
“......”
In just one pillar of incense, people in the entire twenty-five shops died after eating his elixir.
One or two can be explained as coincidences, but the fact that so many stores have problems at the same time is no longer explained by simple coincidences.
Looking at the person in charge of the major stores who were at a loss in front of him, Bai Yufeng's expression was slightly gloomy, the problem was a raging storm, which was clearly going to kill him!
"Childe, more than 20 people have died this time, even if you know that there is a problem, Yufeng Hall will not be able to escape this catastrophe!"
"yes, Childe, what are we going to do?"
Bai Yufeng said in a deep voice: "Go to the fifth store first!"
Before they could take a step, they heard a voice suddenly sound at the door: "Don't go to the fifth store, let's take a look at the good things you did first!"
At the door, a large group of uniformly dressed people braved the rain to drain the water around the courtyard, and with them came a full twelve stretchers, each with a blackened corpse.
The leader is tall, mighty, fierce and vicious, and his left eye is entangled in a circle of black cloth, and he is a one-eyed dragon.
But in Arashiyama City, his nickname is not the one-eyed dragon, but the name of the catcher.
A fair, selfless, honest and honest catcher.
Bai Yufeng said in a deep voice: "He Zhutou, what do you mean by breaking into my villa like this?"
He Zhutou said: "What did you do yourself, do you still need me to explain?"
Bai Yufeng said: "I don't understand!"
He Zhutou said sharply: "You don't understand, these people were poisoned by your Yufeng Hall's medicine, do you understand now?"
From the time he got the news to the arrival of these head catchers, the time before and after was only half a pillar of incense, this was obviously a premeditated action, and Bai Yufeng certainly couldn't easily admit his guilt.
Bai Yufeng said: "You are a famous catcher, I believe that it is not only because of your fairness, but also because of your wisdom and wisdom that you have today's reputation, are you so sure that they didn't take anything else before and after taking my medicine?"
He Zhutou said coldly: "That's right, of course I won't come rashly without evidence, as of the time I came here, there were already twenty-five poisoned people, can you say that all twenty-five of them ate the wrong thing by such a coincidence? And after our inspection, there is indeed a problem with the pill sold in Yufeng Hall." ”
Bai Yufeng asked, "What's the problem?"
He Zhutou didn't speak, and a middle-aged man wearing a gray plain robe and a Lang Zhongping hat walked forward behind him.
There was a brown elixir in his hand that had been split in two, and the elixir exuded a smell of medicinal fragrance, and he threw half of the elixir to a wild dog that he had brought with him.
The wild dog swallowed it in its mouth as if it had obtained a treasure, but after ten breaths, the wild dog suddenly foamed at the mouth, and then fell to the ground with a stiff body.
Bai Yufeng suddenly sighed, and he said, "My pill sales have been for ten months, you don't want to think about why there are suddenly problems one after another today." ”
He Zhutou said indifferently: "This is not a reason for your justification, I only know that the dog ate your pill and died, and the person ate your pill and died." ”
Bai Yufeng said again: "There is no problem with the pills sold in Yufeng Hall, but there is a problem with the pills in their hands, is it possible that the pills have been manipulated before they took the pills?"
He Zhutou said: "You mean that they don't want to live anymore, so they went to Yufeng Hall to buy your elixir, and then put their hands and feet into the medicine, and then took the medicine to commit suicide?"
After He Mingzhu finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter behind him, even if these people wanted to commit suicide, they didn't need to be so troublesome.
He Mingzhu turned his head and glared, and these laughers suddenly couldn't laugh, because the only eye he had left looked at them was sharper than a blade.
Bai Yufeng was silent, He Zhutou is indeed worthy of the word "Famous Catcher", but he is also notoriously brainy, and it is difficult to change what he believes in, unless you can come up with ironclad facts and evidence.
But now, where do you want Bai Yufeng to find evidence?
Bai Yufeng said in a deep voice: "Then what do you want now?"
He Zhutou said: "Follow me back to the City Lord's Mansion to be investigated, whether it is black or white, I will give you justice!"
No matter who framed him in secret, as long as he entered the City Lord's Mansion, there would definitely be a lot of conspiracy plans tailored for him later.
He Mingzhu is just a catcher, if there are people above him who are arranged and manipulated, no matter how honest and honest he is, it doesn't matter.
So Bai Yufeng stared at him and said, "What if...... Why don't I go with you?"
A black-clothed young man behind He Zhutou suddenly said angrily: "Bold, Lord He is a Great Yan Holy Pilgrim to catch quickly, do you dare to openly resist the capture and make enemies of the Great Yan Holy Dynasty?"
Now that there is a lot of evidence that Bai Yufeng is suspected of making counterfeit drugs or even intentionally poisoning others, He Zhutou is here to arrest him, and once Bai Yufeng resists, he will completely confirm this suspicion.
The people in the shadows carried out a careful and careful planning, if Bai Yufeng couldn't find evidence, let alone how his life was safe, once this matter passed, Yufeng Hall would inevitably disappear completely from Lanshan City.
At this time, nearly twenty or so catchers surrounded Bai Yufeng, and all his retreats from the front and back had been completely blocked.
Bai Yufeng was not flustered, he suddenly looked at one of the many catchers and said, "I remember that your name is Liu Ahu, your mother was seriously ill half a year ago, how did she recover in the end." ”
The man's eyes flickered, and a look of shame appeared on his face: "Yes...... I bought the medicine from shop 12, my mother...... to be healed. ”
Bai Yufeng said: "How much did you spend to buy it." ”
He lowered his head to his toes, and his voice was lower: "It only took me ...... I bought it for less than one-tenth of the money of Chunfeng Hall. ”
Bai Yufeng said again: "Who refined the medicine?"
Liu Ahu's voice was almost inaudible: "Yes...... It's you!"
Bai Yufeng nodded with satisfaction, he looked at the other catcher and said, "And you, I remember that your eldest brother was seriously injured by the sawtooth tiger, and the Jinchuang Grass of Chunfeng Hall needs two full gold coins, how much did you spend to buy it in the tenth store of Yufeng Hall?"
This person also said with a ashamed face: "Only...... It cost only ten copper coins. ”
"Very good......
All of a sudden, one-third of the catchers here had bought medicine at the Yufeng Tang branch, and they were all several times lower than the market.
Seeing the ashamed appearance of these catchers, He Zhutou said in a deep voice: "It's true that you saved people, but the deaths of these people are not fake, public is public, private is private, these are two different things." ”
"So what?"
"So you still have to go with me in the City Lord's Mansion, but I promise that if this matter really has nothing to do with you, I will not let you be wronged if I do my best. ”
Bai Yufeng stared at He Zhutou for a long time, and he suddenly said: "I can go to the City Lord's Mansion, after all, I don't want you to be embarrassed, but I'm afraid that someone will not agree with me going." ”
He Zhutou said: "Who disagrees?"
Bai Yufeng said: "Don't you look back and see?"
