As a fox demon with shallow Taoism, Hu Li does not have such a deep grasp of people's hearts, although the current situation makes him angry, but it is more because his theft is made public and he is not suitable to be pointed at by the people around him.

Hu Li's sense of shame is not deep, with his Taoism and experience, even if he has already understood that stealing in the concept of people is not good, but it is not enough to have a strong agreement with the concept of honor and disgrace of stealing from the human race, but the eyes and fingers of the shopkeeper and the people around him are enough to make him nervous.

So when he heard Ji Yuan say to put away the medicine and leave, Hu Li was on the verge of amnesty.

"Yes, I'll put it away!"

Hu Li quickly shook off the sack and kept sweeping the herbs on the counter into the sack.

When the shopkeeper of the pharmacy on the side heard Ji Yuan's words, he saw Hu Li sorting out the medicinal materials, and immediately reached out and grabbed Hu Li's arm.

"What's the matter? I want to leave after being caught?

"Release!

Hu Li struggled his hand, but the shopkeeper of the pharmacy grabbed it very tightly, and suddenly bared his teeth at him with a fierce look

"......"

The murderous appearance of this moment startled the shopkeeper of the pharmacy, he had never seen a person with such an expression on his face, and he subconsciously let go of his hand.

"Why, you're a thief, and you still can't do it?"

"yes, do you still want to do it?" "That's it, it's just a rooster and a dog thief!"

The guy in the shop also came to the shopkeeper's side, and there were many people outside, the shopkeeper suddenly felt a lot bolder, and made a look at others, and suddenly two guys blocked the door, and even some familiar men outside helped watch the door.

Hu Li had already packed the medicinal herbs and held the sack in his hand, but when he turned his head and saw that he seemed to be surrounded, he subconsciously looked at Ji Yuan, but before Ji Yuan could speak, the shopkeeper had already come to the door and stopped there.

"Don't go, don't explain the origin of this herb, just follow me to see the official!"

"I've already said that I went to the mountains to pick it up, and I haven't dried it yet, so it's not stolen!"

Ji Yuan looked at the shopkeeper on the side, knowing that the other party must have other arguments, but he turned his face for the sake of profit, this kind of person is not very good at acting bravely for the sake of justice.

Sure enough, immediately after that, the shopkeeper said.

"The medicine picking master who has been supplying me for a long time has already said that recently, people often steal the medicinal materials in their courtyard that they have time to dry in the future, but the thieves are cunning and have not been able to catch them, I see that the medicinal materials you brought today are those medicine picking masters in my Qi Cao Tang!"

"And you, this gentleman, looking at your Si Swenwen's appearance, if you are just bewitched by this thief, if you are still an accomplice, then if you see an official, I am afraid that the face of the scholar and bachelor will not be good, right?"

Ji Yuan felt a little funny, glanced at Hu Li, who was a little nervous, then looked around at the people around him, and finally smiled at the shopkeeper.

"If it is a normal transaction, how much should these medicinal herbs be worth?"

"You, why are you asking this?"

"Five old ginseng plants that are not low in age, and there are Lingzhi, Shou Wu, Huangjing and other things, is it three hanging money?"

With so many people in place, of course, it is impossible for the shopkeeper to talk nonsense, and can only say a relatively normal number.

"The old ginseng in this bag of medicinal herbs is full of age, if it is a normal transaction, it is not too much to count ten taels of silver, but the stolen goods stolen by thieves are a different matter. ”

Ji Yuan smiled and nodded to the crowd outside the door, and a red-faced and burly man squeezed in from the outside, and the people who were watching the excitement on the side were casually separated by him.

"Who?" "You ......"

"Don't have long eyes......"

Some wanted to scold, but when they saw the other party like this, they dared not speak out, and Jin Jia didn't care about the words of others, and swept a few pharmacy guys aside like a child, and entered the pharmacy and bowed to Ji Yuan, but he didn't shout honorifics.

Jin Jia's entry also seemed to extinguish the arrogance of several people in the pharmacy at once, and they became nervous, it was really Jin Jia's physique and demeanor, and he knew that it was not easy to mess with at a glance.

"You, what do you want to do? Be careful that I report to the official......!

The shopkeeper was directly grabbed by Jin Jia and lifted up, his feet kept kicking off the ground, and his mouth kept exclaiming, but the people around him just retreated to keep a safe distance, and even the guys in the shop didn't dare to approach.

"Naturally, I will go to see the official, and I can also ask the official master to summon the master of your pharmacy to confront you in a while, my red-faced entourage is anxious, and his temper is not very good, and he doesn't like to be wronged, but he can't help but be honest, so he won't do anything to you here, and he will talk about it after seeing the official to judge right and wrong!"

"You may also go with you. ”

Ji Yuan said this to the people around him, and walked directly towards the outside of the hall, Hu Li with a sack and Jin Jia with the shopkeeper of the pharmacy followed behind, and no one dared to stand in the way.

"Don't, a good man spares his life, a good man spares his life, a good man...... I'll give money, I'll give money, I'll give you as much as you want! Stop them, stop them!"

Of course, the people who watched the excitement would not be identical, and the guys in the shop did not dare to look at Jin Jia with their eyes, but they only felt that the big bang came down with a fist, and they were afraid that they could directly open the scoop.

"Hero, hero, I shouldn't be obsessed, I shouldn't wronged people, it's all the villain's greed, it's the villain's bad good, the hero, the villain gives twenty taels, twenty taels ......"

As soon as the talent arrived on the street, the shopkeeper of the pharmacy admitted his mistake because of strong fear, and as a result, the street became even more lively, and everyone followed him to the yamen.

Along the way, Hu Li kept laughing loudly, constantly taunting the panicked shopkeeper in Jin Jia's hand.

"Knock knock ......."

The sound of drumming sounded outside the yamen......

"Ascension ~~~~~"

The official lord sat high, the yamen officers stood on both sides, the interrogation process was fast but cruel, and the prefect who observed the words and expressions saw that Ji Yuan and Jin Jia were extraordinary, and they seemed to be very promising.

The phrase "beating fifty boards" was drunk from the mouth of the official master, and immediately a messenger sentenced the pharmacy shopkeeper to a heavy sentence.

"Bang ......", "Bang ......", "Bang ......", "Bang ......"

"Ah...... Uh......h Yes...... Spare your life...... Yes...... Uh......h Ho...... Ah......h

The board was beaten, and the screams made Hu Li feel panicked, and the owner of the pharmacy shouted so that his throat was hoarse, and he was so painful that he almost fainted, and the people outside the hall were silent.

"Huri, what do you think?"

Hu Li swallowed his saliva and whispered.

"Sir, will this be too much, this is only twenty boards, he can't hold on, fifty boards, will he die?"

"This official doesn't know the severity of the punishment, and most of the fifty boards are gone. ”

"Ahh

Seeing that Hu Li was anxious, Ji Yuan turned his head to look at him and asked with a smile.

"He cheated you on medicinal herbs before, are you anxious for him?"

"This, this is different! Of course I am angry that he wronged me and wanted to deceive me of medicinal herbs, but it is too much to kill me directly, and he is still a doctor! Sir, you let them stop, more than 20 boards and half lives are gone, enough is enough, enough strength......

"Hahahaha......"

Ji Yuan chuckled a few times, and Hu Li felt that the surroundings suddenly became trance-like, vague and cloud-like, and felt a little dizzy.

But the next moment, as if the drowsiness had been punctured by the snot bubble, Hu Li suddenly woke up again, where were there any public courts and official errands around, it was clearly still in the pharmacy, and he was collecting medicinal materials on the counter.

It was also at this moment that the pharmacy owner's hand happened to grab Hu Li's arm, and Hu Li looked at the pharmacy owner, but found that the other party's eyes were in a trance for a moment and then came back to his senses, and then his face was full of a faint sense of panic.

"What, shopkeeper, won't you let you go?"

Ji Yuan's voice came from the side, startling both Hu Li and the shopkeeper back to their senses.

The pharmacy owner withdrew his hand at once, looked around nervously, touched his face, and then touched his butt and back, gasping slightly, with a look of happiness.

"No, there is no thing, Fang Cai, Fang Cai is in the next abrupt, this medicinal material, the two of them are not sold, in the next ten, no, in the next twenty taels!"

Hu Li's eyes widened and he turned his head to look at Ji Yuan, who smiled.

"The medicine is yours, of course you decide whether to sell it or not, what do you want me to do?"

"Sell! Then don't go back, say twenty taels yourself!"

"Yes, yes, no regrets, no regrets!"

The shopkeeper hurried back to the counter to get the silver, and when he saw the stunned guys in his shop, and the people watching the excitement outside, he immediately shouted at them.

"Go, go, work!"

"And everyone, just now it was a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding, I recognized the wrong person, wronged a good person, it was all a misunderstanding, and it was all scattered!"

After driving people away, the shopkeeper took the silver and weighed it casually, and then walked out of the counter with it and handed it to Huli.

"Twenty taels of silver, please smile, it was just a villain's offense, a faux pas, look at Haihan, look at Haihan!"

Hu Li took the silver in a daze, saw the shopkeeper salute again and again, apologized honestly and fearfully, and the anger in his heart disappeared, and after returning the gift with the silver, he left the pharmacy with Ji Yuan.

The shopkeeper of the pharmacy stood at the door and continued to salute the two, and then, in his heart palpitations, he saw a tall and burly red-skinned giant man on the side of the shop follow the two away......

After Ji Yuan and the three of them walked out for a while, the sight around them faded, and Hu Li, who got the silver, was very happy, stuffed some of the money into the prepared money bag, and kept playing with a silver ingot in his hand, happy like a child.

"Sir, I'm rich, twenty taels, a lot, right? By the way, sir, did the shopkeeper just now also see the yamen and the board?"

Ji Yuan didn't answer directly, but looked at Hu Li and then at Jin Jia and the small paper crane standing on his head.

"There is naturally a lot of money, but the judgment of right and wrong is more important than money, what the shopkeeper shows is human nature, and what you show is also human nature, which is good and which is evil, which is right and which is wrong?"

"But I'm a demon?"

"Hahaha......"

Ji Yuan laughed, didn't speak again, and walked forward quickly, and Hu Li hurriedly chased after him.

"Hey, sir, it's me, it's me, it's me, it's not right, is it?"
