Chapter 278: Discredited, Temporarily Imprisoned
Shi Lanxin saw that Huo Sheng was so interested, so he was completely relieved, and the string that was about to break loosened in his heart, thinking of the humiliation he had suffered just now, he felt unwilling, and at this time, he still wanted to sweep away and reshape the "reputation" that was shattered into one place, and sighed faintly: "I didn't expect that it was this profiteer who was hiding from the sky and the sea, the son, he didn't argue, he must have acquiesced in the crime, but although my father was responsible for negligence and dereliction of duty, he should not hide the crime of the epidemic and the people......"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Yi Jing: "Miss Shi, dare to ask where is the 10,000 doses of Artemisia annua that you bought from me?" ”
Shi Lan's heart was interrupted, very dissatisfied, seeing that this noble girl was still pestering the ten thousand doses of Artemisia annua, and thinking of the sewage on her body that "embezzled the donation", she only gritted her teeth with hatred, pinched her palm with her nails, and did not lose her beautiful demeanor: "The little lady is a woman, and she wants to come to Najia Humble Zheng is not her real name, I don't know how to call it?" ”
This is also the common doubt in the hearts of the magnates present.
Just now, the third prince called her the "fifth sister", could it be that she was actually a daughter of the clan?
"Miss Shi, that's my five-year-old granddaughter, you call her Wu Niang." Of course, it was the eldest princess who spoke.
It's actually the daughter of the Patriotic Mansion! Some people suddenly realized, some people secretly surprised, only Shi Lanxin was taken aback - she visited the princess's mansion last time, but she tried a poetry with the "Su Wu Niang", and also scoffed, I didn't expect the famous Kyoto Shuanghua, but it was a mediocre person, it seems that it is in vain, can it be said that the person is pretending? The Guogong Mansion has been eyeing her Shi family for a long time! - Then the idea of "sophistry" was completely dispelled - the eldest princess donated 10,000 doses of good medicine for free in advance, how could her granddaughter "take advantage of disasters to make profits", but this Patriotic Mansion, why can't she get along with her!
Shi Lan was unconvinced, so he replied: "I was immediately sent to the epidemic area." ”
"If I remember correctly, this Huo Sheng hadn't returned to merge with the state at that time, right?" Yijing asked again.
"Yes......"
"Dare to ask Shi Zhizhou, is it possible for Huo Sheng to do anything about the medicine sent to the epidemic area?" Yijing suddenly abandoned Shi Lan's heart and asked Shi De again.
Obviously, there is a trap in this, but if it is said that a mere pharmaceutical businessman can reach the epidemic area with his hands and feet, it is really too unbelievable, and the degree of "negligence" of his Zhizhou is terrifying.
"Of course there is no such possibility, when this traitor agreed to hand over the medicine, he had already passed off the fake as the real one." Shi Lanxin hurriedly answered.
Yijing chuckled and looked at Yu Feng: "Shizi, please let Sanshun go to the court." ”
Shi Lan was full of loneliness, not knowing where Sanshun was sacred.
It was not only Sanshun who went to the court, but also a wooden box covered with the Nanzhou Yamen forbidden seal.
"Miss Shi, I don't sell Guanzi either, since you said that Shi Zhizhou is innocent, why did the 10,000 doses of Artemisia annua that I sold you that day appear on the ship escorted by Huo Sheng to Nanzhejiang?" didn't wait for Shi Lanxin to distinguish again, Yijing faced everyone, and talked eloquently: "I can't hide it, when I knew about the malaria outbreak in Bingzhou, my grandmother was extremely worried, because there were also pharmacies in the Guogong Mansion industry, so I first asked people to transport the inventory of Artemisia annua to Bingzhou, but I didn't know that I was turned away from the city!" ”
This set of rhetoric is naturally slightly different from the facts, but it can explain the truth simply and clearly, so when Yi Jing and Yu Feng discussed, they decided not to mention that the prince had already participated, let alone mention the people of the Wuyi Alliance: "If it weren't for my grandmother's timely arrival in Dongyang Town, these yellow artemisia must have been 'forcibly taken' by Shi Zhizhou, and the stewards of the Guogong Mansion may now be the same as Meng Gao, on the charge of murder, and are in death prison." ”
Yi Jing sneered: "Miss Shi originally said that I colluded with the pharmacist, but it was not bad, because I suspected that Shi Zhizhou had ill intentions, so I deliberately got out of this trap, released a rumor, and led you to trade with me. ”
The words of those powerful people to raise funds were Shi Lanxin's own words, and she repeatedly emphasized that she used 600,000 yuan to buy medicine, but Yijing had black and white words in his hand, and the transaction was 200,000 yuan that day, the facts were clear, black and white, Shi Lanxin could no longer refute it, a layer of cold sweat oozed from his forehead, but there was still a trace of luck, and he argued strongly: "Even so, how can Wu Niang prove that the 10,000 doses of Artemisia annua are in Huo Sheng's hands and have not been used in the epidemic area?" ”
At this point, it is inevitable that the reputation will be discredited, but it is just to bear the verbal accusations, and after all, you can't sit on the truth and pass it off as the truth, which is a felony of greed and law, and it is difficult to protect your life.
"Because I have not sold you Artemisia annua, but Artemisia annua."
This sentence once again caused an uproar in the audience.
"If you really send the medicine you bought from me to the epidemic area, and 10,000 doses of Artemisia annua flow in, but the medical officer of the epidemic center is unaware, why?" Yi Jing raised his voice slightly: "The medical officers must have been advised earlier, knowing that what the state government sent would not be Artemisia annua, so they pretended to be deaf and dumb." ”
In other words, no matter whether Shi Lanxin changes the medicine or not, the 10,000 doses can only be Artemisia annua, if Shi De had not ordered the medical officer to conceal it, the "fake medicine" had already been revealed, how could Shi De not know?
"Wu Niang, this is just your words!" Shi Lan was in a hurry, and even the light and melodious voice became sharp: "How do you prove that the one sold to me is Artemisia annua?" If it was Artemisia annua, the doctors would not give feedback. ”
Yi Jing also expected that Shi Lanxin would "die and not admit his guilt", and asked Huo Sheng, who was paralyzed on the ground and made a dead dog: "Wuna pharmacist, can you recognize the person next to me." ”
Sanshun was named and straightened his chest fearlessly.
Huo Sheng is still immersed in a "deaf and dumb state".
Yi Jing didn't pay attention to it, and smiled at Shi Lanxin: "This was originally a slave of the Guogong Mansion, I asked him to contact Huo Sheng and propose to buy Artemisia annua, Huo Sheng really hit the plan and escorted 110,000 doses to Nanzhejiang, of which, 100,000 doses are true, but 10,000 doses are fake, that is the medicine I sold to Miss Shi, if the Shi family did not collude with Huo Sheng, how to explain that the medicine that should have been sent to the epidemic area would be in Huo Sheng's hands?" ”
"Even if 10,000 doses of Artemisia annua are used, it is possible that this profiteer has mixed in with it, and it is not the medicine of Wu Niang." Shi Lan's heart gradually lacked confidence.
"Miss Shi, since I have long been suspicious of your father and daughter, why don't I prepare?" Yi Jing shook his head: "The 10,000 doses of Artemisia annua I sold you have all been recorded on the sacks that are contained. ”
Regardless of Shi Lan's pale face, he opened the wooden box containing Artemisia annua, took out a bag with his own hands, vacated the sack, and placed it in a basin of soapy water.
Since these medicines were seized in Nanzhou, there was a ban on the box sealed by the local officials, and others could not do anything about it, so they changed it afterwards.
Yulang was "taught" by Wei Ran, and learned the trick of distinguishing Artemisia annua from Artemisia annua, and when he was on the way, he found one of the boxes of Artemisia annua, made a note on the box, and prepared it as conclusive evidence in today's court.
"Shide, do you have anything to say?" Yu Feng bypassed the public case at this time, paced in front of the hall, and his eyes were calm and calm, and the gloom was getting deeper: "These incriminating evidence are enough, and!" As soon as he stretched out his hand, a Yu Linwei strode close and presented an official letter: "Huo Sheng's official document in his hand is exempt from inspection, but you sign and seal it, according to Dalong's law, if it is not a special case for war preparedness, only the palace procurement or disaster relief materials can issue exemption from inspection, Huo Sheng District is a pharmaceutical company, how can you sign and exempt from inspection?" In this case, you dare to quibble that he has nothing to do with it? ”
This is the real proof of guilt! Having no excuse!
"Why do you need to ask more, it must be this dog official who is colluding with profiteers!" All the nobles denounced in unison.
"Shi De dog officer, he should be divided into five horses before he can solve his hatred." The people shouted for killing.
"Yu Linwei listened to the order and detained a prisoner in death prison, and then punished him when I wrote a letter requesting it." Yu Feng really didn't ask any more, and ordered in a cold voice.
Shi De has been stripped of his muscles and bones, and most of those fellow acquaintances and officials are also colorless, but when Yu Linwei escorted Shi Lanxin, the "talented girl" who woke up like a dream struggled to ask: "Son, even if the father is guilty, when there is no holy judgment in the saint, it should not involve the family!" ”
"Miss Shi, you are not only a family member, but also an accomplice, there is no provision in the law of the country, just because you are a woman, you can be pardoned." Yu Feng didn't look at her, but only said to everyone: "Everyone here today has witnessed Shi Shilanxin's clever words and sophistry, obviously knowing the inside story, but some people still think she is innocent?" ”
At this time, who will intercede for this pearl of the state? Shi Lanxin looked around, all he saw was sarcasm, disgust and resentment, and those people who had no scruples to scold, bluntly accuse, and there was no lack of foul language, which really made this "pampered" once praised Zhizhou daughter "full of grievances", and was about to unwillingly shout out - Shizi, this thing will not be good, such as your wisdom, you should know who is behind my Shi family!
Those Yu Linwei didn't give her a chance again, and twisted Miss Lanxin's arm without pity.
Someone heard Miss Lanxin let out a cry of pain like a "wild wolf".
And today, the people who were "lucky" to witness the public trial, after they dispersed, naturally spread widely in the market, and before evening, everyone in the city of Bingzhou knew that Shi De had lost his conscience, and the sound of cursing was like a flood of rage, and he was eager to cut Shi De with a thousand knives, peel his skin and cramp.
And the 100,000 doses of genuine yellow artemisia were transported to the epidemic area on the same day, and Jia Wenxiang, who was responsible for the pressure and transportation, was in front of the soft armor and golden saddle, and was almost not overturned by the enthusiasm of the people.
Yijing mixed in the crowd, watching a long train out of the city, before returning to the princess's mansion, Xia Ke and Qiu Yue, who were dressed as "little maids" behind them, were still full of interest.
"It's a pity that the slave maid can't go to court with me and witness the battle between Wu Niang and Na Shi Lanxin." It was Qiu Yue who lamented: "Xia Ke, you don't know, her hypocrisy is obviously vicious in her heart, and she pretends to be like Guanyin Bodhisattva on the surface." ”
"I don't know why Mrs. Shi led her to visit Mrs. Tai, but it made Qiushuang break out in a cold sweat." Xia Ke has rarely seen beautiful scenery these days, but now he has the opportunity to get close, and he has more words than in the past: "As soon as we met, I immediately said that I wanted to ask for poetry, chanted a long poem to myself, and asked Qiushuang to close a poem, Qiushuang only understood that it seemed to be singing lotus, fortunately, she remembered an old work of Wu Niang, and carried it perfunctory in the past, somehow, the slave maid saw that Miss Shi seemed to be a little disdainful, but verbally she was extremely appreciative. ”
Qiu Yue asked which one it was, and Xia Ke recalled a few words.
Yijing lost her smile, it was still a joke she made when she was six or seven years old, which will inevitably make the "talented girl" shameless.
"But Wu Niang, now that the matter is over, are we going back to Jinyang soon?" Qiu Yue asked again: "The slave maid thinks that it is more interesting than Beijing in Bingzhou, at least it is easier to go out, those secret guards arranged by the prince are really capable, the slave and maid have been paying attention, and they can't see their traces, sometimes I wonder if they are following, unlike the pro-soldiers in our house, who only dangle in front of their eyes when they go out, and they are all blocked." ”
As soon as he heard Qiu Yue say that there were secret guards following, Xia Ke also began to look around, and sure enough, he found no clues.
But I heard Yijing say: "When it is not so fast, I have to wait until the epidemic completely subsides and all the malaria patients are cured, and my grandmother will feel at ease." ”
Most of the officials in Bingzhou are now being sent to prison, and the succession of the imperial court will not come so soon, Yu Feng is also the "disaster relief" job, and now he has to take care of government affairs, of course, he has to stay in Bingzhou.
The three of them chatted while walking, and it took them two moments to reach the corner gate of the princess's mansion, and they heard a call behind them-
Fifth sister!
But it was the third prince who came on horseback, and it was a smile from the corner of his mouth.
"Why is the Third Highness here?" Yijing had no choice but to step forward to salute, and asked "everyone is beautiful".
"I can't get used to living in Nazhou, so I have to ask my aunt and grandmother to take me in for a while." The corners of the third prince's eyes slanted slightly, and he looked at a branch of cinnamon sticking out of the wall: "Looking at it this way, it is really the princess's mansion that is more in line with my taste." ”
Yijing gritted his teeth: "Your Highness is a messenger, looking at those powerful people today, they don't look like soft people, and it is not so simple for His Highness to raise 'charity'." ”
Although the matter of Artemisia annua has been resolved, and there is no need to raise three million taels of "medicine", according to the meaning of the saint, the treatment funds of the epidemic victims and the post-disaster "reconstruction" part must still be counted in the accounts of the powerful.
"That's why I have to live in the princess's mansion, not only do my aunt and grandmother take care of me, but I can also negotiate with Yuanyang from time to time." The third prince said solemnly, and without saying anything, he raised his feet and entered the threshold, leaving the beautiful scenery behind him, staring for a while.
