Chapter Twenty-Three: Self-Inflicted Consequences
Seeing that no one was on his side, the man could only scold angrily, silently praying in his heart that this old man Huang couldn't see anything.
Mrs. Huang is as her name suggests, Huang Pingqing, a wide pan-old robe lining his whole person very thin, with a white beard to his neck, gentle eyebrows, and old eyes with the pity of a healer.
He walked up to the poisoned people with the medicine box, and at first he took the pulse, and then his brow gradually furrowed.
After a while, he got up calmly and said to Lin Zhiyu: "Lord Lin, the old man has not found any signs of poisoning in them, and the worst thing is that there is a lack of qi and blood. ”
Suddenly, the crowd was in an uproar.
"What?! So these people are all fake?! ”
"What Dr. Huang said can't be false, these people are liars! It seems that he wants to blame the Lin Mansion! ”
"I'll just say that Lord Lin looks honest and honest, not like that kind of harmful appearance......"
Panic flashed on the man's face, and he retorted: "They are obviously poisoned!" I can't see it! He also called himself a doctor......"
"Bang-"
A rotten egg smashed on his head, running slowly from his hair and onto his face, making his face distorted.
"Shut up! You are not allowed to insult Dr. Huang! ”
Immediately afterwards, all kinds of vegetable leaves smashed over, and he fled everywhere in fright, even those who pretended to be poisoned on the ground were not spared, and they were beaten to the ground.
"The matter has already come to light, this group of people came to damage the reputation of my Lin Mansion on purpose, come here, arrest them!" Lin Zhiyu said coldly, and suddenly many small people appeared from the side, and they all pounced on the group of people.
"The people from Jingzhao Mansion are here!"
I don't know who shouted, and the crowd fell silent for a moment, and they all got out of the way.
"Someone reported to the official, saying that there was a death in the dust shop, and the official came to investigate, what is going on?"
The Wang family, who was one of the main Jingzhao Shaoyin, had serious eyebrows and a thick and solemn voice.
"Lord Wang." Lin Zhiyu made a move.
Lord Wang's eyebrows jumped, and a smile appeared on his serious face, "It turned out to be Lord Lin, why are you here?" ”
Lin Zhiyu explained the ins and outs of the future to him.
"This group of Xiaoxiao actually did this kind of thing of violating discipline and framing them! This official must be severely punished! Lord Wang was indignant and was about to take the group away, when suddenly, there was another cry from outside the crowd.
"My lord! My lord! The old man wants to sue this shop that sells clothes! I was poisoned in their clothes, and I only have this one daughter! That's what I am! ”
The crying and shouting were bursting, heartbreaking, and attracted everyone to look for it.
It was a mother and daughter, and the girl next to her, who was only twenty-eight years old, was red and swollen, with scratches all over her body, which was very similar to the poisoning symptoms played by the previous group of people.
"Another one? It's not endless?! ”
Someone in the crowd muttered and whispered.
Lord Wang frowned, and just as he wanted to scold, Doctor Huang next to him hurriedly ran over, "Slow! ”
After a while, he looked solemn: "There is indeed a sign of poisoning, and it needs to be detoxified immediately, otherwise I am afraid that my life will be worried!" ”
"What?!" Lord Wang was shocked, and suddenly looked at Lin Zhiyu on the side, "Lord Lin, you ......"
"My lord! The old body wants to sue the incense shop this time! I finally saved up money to buy a dress for the little girl, but she became like this after wearing it once, adult, you have to be the master of the old body! The old woman's cry was mournful, and those who heard it wept.
Unexpectedly, eating melons and eating them on their heads, the guys in the crowd who returned to the incense shop were stunned in place, and after being locked by many pairs of eyes, they took two steps back in a panic, "How is it possible!" It's none of our business! ”
"Wronged!"
"Someone! Check it out to the official! Lord Wang's face sank, and with an order, all the people he brought poured into the incense shop, and after a short time, he brought out a few bright ready-to-wear clothes.
Dr. Huang cautiously took the initiative to inspect it, and said loudly to one of them: "This thing is poisonous!" Do not use it personally! The mild ones are red, swollen and itchy, and the severe ones are poisoned and faint! ”
"The evidence is conclusive!" Lord Wang shouted, so frightened that the guy who returned to the incense shop fell to the ground, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "The adult has wronged the adult!" It's not something in our shop at all! Someone else must be blaming us! ”
Lin Zhiyu, who was watching the play on the side, raised his eyebrows and said deliberately: "Since you said that it is not something in your shop, it is better to take out the account book and take a look, there will be a record of anything in the shop, you can see it at a glance." ”
"Good!" The guy from the incense shop steadied his mind, climbed back and took out the account book, "My lord, please see, our incense shop has never purchased items from the Western Regions, and there will be no ready-to-wear garments made of this kind of silk for sale......"
But after turning two pages, Lord Wang slammed the account book in his face and shouted angrily, "See for yourself what this is?!" ”
The guy at the incense shop looked at it tremblingly, and when he saw the words on it, his eyes turned black and he almost fainted.
"On the seventeenth day of May, one hundred and twenty horses of silk were entered, and two ...... of silver were offered."
"Come on, give all the people who return to the incense shop to the official to go to Jingzhao Mansion, and interrogate them on a later date!"
……
The corners of Lin Mobai's mouth slowly hooked a smile, and disappeared in an instant, hiding his merit and fame.
[What a show!] I didn't expect my eldest brother to be so dignified when he got down to business, and I was almost fascinated by him......]
Lin Bao'er nested in Shen Xuelan's arms and became a nymphomaniac, smiling so much that her eyes were crooked, like a small crescent moon.
[This blow is well done! Worthy of my big brother! 】
Shen Xuelan pinched her face dotingly, and returned to the Lin Mansion with Qinglian.
After the interrogation of Jingzhao Mansion, it was found out that the Huixiang shop was the property of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I wanted to hide it, but the news spread far and wide, resulting in all the shops under the Prime Minister's Mansion being boycotted by the people, and the sales were dismal.
And the prime minister's reputation also plummeted because of this, and almost became the existence of everyone's anger, and in the end, he transferred all those shops like digging up meat and removing bones, so as to clear up the relationship, which didn't make a big deal a little.
Otherwise, if anyone has a heart to join him in front of the emperor, his position will have to be turbulent.
As for why the three princes were not affected, Lin Baoer later learned that although the incense shop was the property of the three princes, it was actually recorded in the name of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so as to confuse the public.
As a result, because of this, the prime minister became the unjust seed who was affected, and he really deserved it!
Lin Mansion, Fuxiao Garden, Lin Ruqian looked at the red account book, and he couldn't breathe in pain.
Although the prime minister and the three princes were bleeding profusely, they were really burned at that time! After all, this loss is not a lot, and he almost died of myocardial infarction on the spot!
Since then, Lin Ruqian has habitually kept two more backhands no matter what business he does, for fear of repeating the mistakes of the past again!
