At this time, Ye Fan slowly came behind Xiang Jin.

"How did these three become like this?" Ye Fan stepped forward, and when he saw the bloody picture in the dungeon, he couldn't help but feel a chill.

Xiang Jin turned around and immediately saluted Ye Fan: "Lord Ye!" You're here! ”

"These three are crazy! I've been hurting myself, and I'm afraid that their lives won't be safe, so I tied them up with a rope! ”

Ye Fan's heart froze, but his mood quickly calmed down: "What happened during the interrogation?" ”

Xiang Jin reported truthfully: "The three of them confessed that Li Er, the shopkeeper of the pharmacy, also has a private house in the county, in addition, there are more than ten merchants in the county, and they secretly reached an agreement with Li Er and also participated in the sale of Da Luo Jindan, but they are mainly responsible for public opinion guidance and publicity!" ”

After hearing this, Ye Fan's heart suddenly thought of Liang Ming saying that someone was deliberately smearing and attacking him, could it be these people.

"This is the handwriting of those merchants and Li Er's usual correspondence, and there are even the signatures of those merchants on it, which they hid in the mezzanine of the clothes!"

Xiang Jin took out a stack of paper from his arms, and then handed it to Ye Fan's hands.

The paper bundle was full of detailed details of the daily transactions of the merchants, as well as discussions on the development of the follow-up sales channels of Da Luo Jindan, and even signatures at the place where the payment was made.

This thing can be counted as solid evidence.

Liang Ming said before that Ye Fan could boldly deal with this matter, and even the errand of the county government was transferred to him for command.

"Good! Go ahead, first arrest all the people on this list! As for Li Er's mansion, I will personally investigate it! ”

"Okay!" Xiang Jin nodded and immediately went down to arrange the matter.

......

On the streets of the county seat, notices were closely pasted in crowded places.

The officials even set up investigators at various street corners.

At a street intersection that looks rather dilapidated.

Many poor people gathered around the notice, and everyone had the mentality of watching the excitement and not showing much to do.

Many of the people around here were rough people, and there were not many people who knew how to read, and then a sour middle-aged man was elected from the crowd.

"What is written on this, I don't know how to read, Wang Xiucai, you tell everyone!"

The middle-aged Xiucai was a little arrogant, his eyes surrounded him, and he said resentfully: "I study to test my fame, not to be a translator for you!" ”

As soon as Wang Xiucai's voice fell, someone exposed his shortcomings.

"Why for fame, after so many years of exams, isn't he still a showman? Let's tell you about it, I will send you a few catties of rice tonight! ”

Wang Xiucai was about to get angry when he heard the first half of the sentence, but then others said that he would send him rice, and his anger was swallowed alive again, and there was no way that although he was bent on pursuing fame, he also had to eat.

Wang Xiucai can also bend and stretch, put aside the prejudices in his heart and read the notice carefully.

"Huh!" After reading the content of the notice, Wang Xiucai immediately exclaimed.

"What's wrong? Wang Xiucai, tell you about it! ”

Wang Xiucai frowned, read the content of the notice again, and then carefully explained it to everyone present.

"This is a notice issued by the Liang County Order, which says that the transaction of Da Luo Jindan will be prohibited in Hua'an County in the future, and at the same time, those who have eaten Da Luo Jindan should go to the government to report it immediately! It also said that this big Luo Jin Dan can't be eaten at will! And arrest a person named Li Er! ”

After Wang Xiucai finished speaking, a riot immediately broke out in the crowd.

"What is Da Luo Jindan?"

"It's a pill, it seems to cost ten taels of silver a piece."

"I'm a weird drop, ten taels of silver? Could it be that this elixir is made of gold? ”

"Of course, there is a reason for the high price of selling, I heard that eating it can cure all diseases! But only the rich can afford to eat! ”

"Forget it! Never mind! It's none of our business! ”

......

The people in this area are all poor, and in their eyes, even the elixir is not worth ten taels of silver.

After the surrounding people finished talking, they dispersed in a hurry, leaving only Wang Xiucai alone.

When Wang Xiucai finished reading this notice, he suddenly felt a little chill in his back.

This Li Er! It can't be the man I met in that mansion last night!

Wang Xiucai's back suddenly broke out in a dense cold sweat.

In this impoverished neighborhood, there is the only rich house, which has never been inhabited, but after several changes, the owner of the house really came back yesterday.

And Wang Xiucai, who is poor at home, can't open the pot, and has a heart to steal.

He thought to himself, the person who could buy such a large mansion must be very rich, and he probably wouldn't find out if he stole a few taels of silver.

If you are excited, you will act, Wang Xiucai took action last night, he was weak, and he had no strength to climb over a wall, so he fell into the grass altar in the courtyard.

He struggled on the ground for a long time, and he didn't dare to scream because he was a thief.

Just as he was about to make a move, he heard footsteps, and then a middle-aged man in a gorgeous dress walked into the courtyard.

This scared Wang Xiucai so much that he didn't dare to come out, if he was caught stealing things, not only would he be sent to the official, but he might also be erased from his fame and banned from the exam for life.

Therefore, Wang Xiucai hid in the grass altar and didn't dare to breathe, but hiding in the grass jar, he could look at everything in the yard through the gap in the grass altar.

Wang Xiucai only saw the middle-aged man pacing back and forth in the courtyard, as if there was something urgent.

Not long after, a sturdy purple figure behind him climbed into the wall from the outside, and the purple-clothed figure floated several feet away in the air, and then landed in front of the middle-aged man.

Although Wang Xiucai can only study to death, it doesn't mean that he doesn't know how to do it, and he knows that this figure is either a light skill or a certain method, and this kind of person is generally extremely powerful.

This scared Wang Xiucai even more cautiously, and he didn't even dare to look at it.

The purple-clothed figure landed, and the middle-aged man immediately went up to talk, but there was still a distance, and the voices of the two were deliberately suppressed, so Wang Xiucai didn't hear anything clearly at first.

Just when Wang Xiucai decided to hide in the grass altar like this, and then wait for the two to leave and come out by himself.

Suddenly, there seemed to be a quarrel between the two.

"Li Er! Since you are not doing your job well, today is your time of death! ”

"Don't! Purple-sama, please don't kill me! ”

Wang Xiu had just heard these two words clearly, and then he heard a terrible scream, and he could be sure that the sound must have come from the middle-aged man.

Because the figure in purple looks more like a woman in terms of body size.

At that moment, Wang Xiucai's scalp was numb with nervousness. At this moment, he could be sure that the owner of the purple shadow had killed the middle-aged man.

Wang Xiucai was so frightened that he didn't even dare to move.
