When Su Ling heard what Fang Xi said, he thought to himself that this group of people had indeed come prepared, but his expression remained calm. He smiled faintly and said: "Burning some useless things is worthy of Fang Hui's leadership."
Isn’t it possible to mobilize so many people?”
Fang Xi sneered, waved his hands to both sides and said: "What are you doing standing here? Go over and see if something needs to be poured with oil. It's burned so thoroughly. Take a closer look to see if there is anything left unburned.
The remaining fire, here are all wooden buildings, if they burn down, it will be difficult to clean up."
Those people will move forward when they hear the wind.
Wang Jun and Du Heng blocked the group of people, one on the left and the other on the right. Wang Jun said with a cold face: "These are all unused old things. When they are burned out, we will put out the remaining fire, so I won't bother you."
The group of people seemed unwilling to give up and continued to push forward.
Just when Wang Jun and Du Heng were about to get angry, Su Ling waved his hand and said calmly: "Since Fang Huishou has thought so carefully and is not afraid of trouble, let them go and take a look."
Wang Jun and Du Heng were stunned for a moment. Seeing that Su Ling seemed to be quite calm, they retreated to both sides.
This group of people rushed towards the unburned medicine shelves and cold-flavored pills like a swarm.
They took sticks and drew them left and right among the ruins, and circled around the burned medicine shelves. From time to time, residual fire splashed out, making a peeling sound.
The group of people wandered around for a long time, but could not find even half a lengxiang pill. However, the ashes gave off a burnt and thick smell of traditional Chinese medicine, which was quite strong.
Fang Xi asked these people to step back, glanced at Su Ling lightly and said, "Su Ling, you are so clever. You destroyed your crime so quickly... but you were also very responsive."
Su Ling was neither humble nor arrogant, pretending to be puzzled and said: "The second half of Fang Huishou's words is very pleasant. He praises me for being smart. Who doesn't like to hear such compliments? It's just the first half, but I don't like it very much.
I understand, I am a good and law-abiding citizen of the Jin Dynasty, I do business honestly, I will not do anything that breaks the law, and I will not eat anything that violates the law. I wonder where the crime of destruction you mentioned comes from?"
Fang Xi sneered and said: "What a peaceful and kind citizen! Let me ask you, Su Ling, are you burning cold scented pills? But I don't quite understand. Your ability to settle down in the hall is because of your
Why are you so generous with these cold-flavored pills now and setting off a fire to burn them completely?"
Su Ling refused to give in, and said coldly: "No matter what kind of medicine, there is always a time limit. These medicinal materials of mine have been used for a long time, and the power of the medicine has naturally evaporated. What's weird about burning them? Besides, these medicines are now transformed into
If there are coke and ashes, how can President Fang be able to conclude that what I am burning is Lengxiang Pills? Also, it is our own business to burn something. You are not a bad boss, and you are not an official official. You can do these things
Do you want to take care of it too?"
Fang Xi raised his eyebrows and said, "What a sharp-tongued Su Ling. I can't control you, but someone will!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone shouting in front of the backyard door: "Master Yang of the Dragon Tower of Kyoto has arrived!"
Fang Xi sneered and said: "Look, the person who cares about you will arrive at your request!"
Su Ling's heart moved and she thought to herself, this official person came quite quickly.
Wang Jun looked a little nervous and said in a low voice: "Brother Su, if you get into trouble for a while, I will escort you away and go find Guo Jijiu to come forward."
Su Ling smiled lightly and said: "Brother, for such a big matter, why do you need to ask Lao Guo? There's no harm in getting information!"
While they were talking, a group of officers came in front of the door, separated on the left and right, and then the Longtai Order walked in slowly.
Su Ling looked at this Long Tailing, but he was a very young official. He was only about twenty years old. He had a fair complexion, thick eyebrows and fine eyes, and was quite handsome.
Su Ling thought to himself that at such a young age, he had already become the Long Tai Ling of Kyoto. Either he had some real talents or he was a big businessman.
Wang Jun whispered beside him: "Brother Su, don't underestimate this Longtai Ling. His name is Yang Shuzu. He has written good articles at a young age. He is as famous as Xiao Sishu, the third son of Sikong Mansion.
Also known as Xiao Yang! Not only that, his family is also from a wealthy family in Kyoto, his father is Yang Wenxian, the imperial captain of the dynasty, and his mother is also from a prominent local family."
Su Ling heard this and said in a low voice: "Oh, it seems that Yang Shuzu does have two brushes, but judging from his and Fang Xi's front and rear skills, I'm afraid the person who came here is not good."
After saying this, Su Ling's heart moved again. Yang Shuzu? His surname was Yang? His father was a Taiwei? Thinking of this, he already knew who this person was.
But seeing that Yang Shuzu was young but as stable as a mountain, he came to the crowd, stood still for a moment, and scanned everyone's faces with the pressure in his eyes.
Except for Su Ling who was not moved at all, everyone else lowered their heads and did not dare to look at him.
Fang Xi lost his previous style and hurriedly bowed to Longtai Commander Yang Shuzu and said: "Old Fang Xi, I have met Mr. Yang."
Yang Shuzu nodded lightly and said: "You're welcome, Fang Huishou. My mother was ill a few days ago. Fortunately, Fang Huishou was able to rejuvenate herself. She took a few doses of medicine and is now well. I haven't thanked Fang Huishou yet."
Woolen cloth."
Fang Xi smiled flatteringly and said: "It's the old man's contribution. It's the great blessing of the family. Naturally, it is immune to all diseases!"
The two of them were polite again.
Su Ling secretly laughed and thought, this Yang Shuzu probably has a great reputation, but it is difficult to live up to it. If he pretends to have nothing to do with Fang Xi, then his appearance here is superficially out of justice.
But he made this relationship clear in his first sentence, so he really wasn't afraid of others criticizing him.
However, when he thought about the arrogant character of the man in history, he felt relieved for his behavior.
Thinking of this, Su Ling cupped her hands towards Yang Shuzu and said jokingly: "Master Yang, I don't know if you came in such a hurry today, but have you had chicken rib soup in the house?"
Yang Shuzu was confused and said: "Chicken rib soup? This order has never had such a hobby!"
But Fang Xi looked angrily and said, "How dare you, Su Ling, why don't you kneel down and bow down when you see the Order of Longtai?"
Su Ling didn't say anything, just looked at Fang Xi sideways.
However, Yang Shuzu waved his hand and said, "This is not my government office, so please kneel down and bow..." He said this without any pretense and seemed quite approachable.
If Su Ling hadn't been sure that he was from Fang Xi's side, he might have really thought that Mr. Yang was public-minded.
Su Ling chuckled and said: "Su thought that there would be a big battle today, so he might have to mobilize the guards from the military camp in the middle of the capital to come. He never thought that the thunder was loud and the raindrops were light. Why, Mr. Yang only brought you with him?"
Are there so many officials from the government office? I counted, there are less than twenty people. But they are so disappointing."
Then he looked at Fang Xida and said, "Don't you just want to make things worse?"
However, Yang Shuzu was not annoyed, and said calmly: "You are a small white person, and you are engaged in business. To come to you, do you need a guard in the capital? I am enough." The first half of the sentence was light and calm.
, but the second half of the sentence is already like a sword.
After he said this, his official power suddenly rose, and he said word by word: "Su Ling, today our magistrate came here, someone handed over a complaint, accusing you of being a quack doctor who harmed people, and concocted tiger and wolf medicine, which harmed people.
Life! Su Ling, why don’t you take it from the real person, so as not to suffer physical pain later!"
Su Ling laughed loudly and said: "This is so confusing. When did I harm people, and when did I concoct the tiger and wolf medicine? And who sued me!"
Fang Xi took a step forward and said: "Su Ling, if you don't want others to know, you have to do it yourself! The person who filed the complaint against you is Fang!"
Su Ling glared at him and sneered: "So it's you, you bastard!"
When Fang Xi heard his rude words, he became angry and suddenly shouted: "Left and right, tear out the mouth of this person who speaks filthy words!"
When the group of minions behind him heard this, they all moved forward together.
Yang Shuzu snorted and said, "What are you doing? A private fight can't happen. This order is still here, how can you despise it like this?"
Fang Xi was startled when he heard this, then glared at the person behind him, and then said: "Go back...Fighting will never solve the problem..."
After saying this, he still felt helpless in his heart and stared at Su Ling fiercely.
Su Ling looked carefree and looked at Fang Xi. It was clear that what could you do to me?
Yang Shuzu then looked at Su Ling and said, "You don't admit it? Let me ask you, what is burning behind you? But that Lengxiang pill?"
Su Ling said with a smile: "It's really strange. Anyone who comes into my hospital seems to be quite curious about what I burn. As I said just now, I just burn some useless old medicine."
Yang Shuzu glanced at Su Ling and said coldly: "Now that things have happened, you still want to quibble? I have already found out that there are ten people in your bad hall. Besides you, there is another one named Hao Zao who grinds the cold scented pill powder.
Yes, where are the others?"
Su Ling sarcastically said: "Mr. Yang is really the father-in-law of the people. I can even remember the name of an ordinary guy who grinds the medicine for my little bad job so clearly... That's right, then Hao
Zao is indeed responsible for grinding the powder of Lengxiang Pills, but he took leave today and didn’t come!”
When Fang Xi heard this, he looked like he was convinced by Su Ling and laughed: "Hao Zao didn't come today? I'm afraid he won't be able to come in the future!"
As he spoke, he cupped his hands towards Yang Shuzu and said: "Sir, on the way here today, I was stopped by a woman. The woman was crying and said that a person who once served as an apprentice in my Renchun Hall died for some reason.
, the old man was surprised and suspicious, but he didn’t know who the deceased was. Your Excellency also knows that my Renchundang is the largest medical center in Longtai, and there are many people in charge, but after all, it is about human life, so I asked my subordinates to follow that person.
The woman went to his house and carried the dead man's body back to my house. But when I saw this man, I recognized him. It was Hao Zao, my clerk at Renchun Hall. Hao Zao knew something about it.
He had some medical knowledge, and I originally thought that he would be a shopkeeper after some time, but a few days ago he said goodbye to me, saying that he was going to work in a bad hall. Seeing that I couldn't stay, I gave him a few words of encouragement.
Let him go. But what I saw today was a corpse!"
Su Ling said coldly: "Fang Xi, why is there no one in Hao Zao's house? It turns out you were the one who got there first!"
Hearing this, Fang Xi laughed wildly and said, "Well, Su Ling, why don't you bring it upon yourself? Sure enough, you have been to Hao Zao's place! It seems that he went to kill people and silence them!"
Su Ling said coldly: "Where do you start with these words? Hao Zao has no enmity with me. I went to his house and didn't see him. How can you say that I killed someone and silenced him? What am I doing for?"
When Yang Shuzu heard this, he was also a little surprised and said: "Indeed, as Su Ling said, why did he kill Hao Zao?"
Fang Xi made a heartbroken look and said, "You don't know something, sir. After I saw Hao Zao's body, I saw that his face was blue and his lips were purple. I knew that he had not died normally, so I checked carefully.
After some research, it turned out that Hao Zao died of poisoning, and the poison was Nux vomica! Although Nux vomica is deliberately used as medicine, too much dosage or long-term accumulation can make people excited, and then they dance and dance.
He was crazy, restless, and eventually died. I asked Hao Zao's wife, and the woman also said that Hao Zao was in such a crazy state on the last night of his life."
Yang Shuzu nodded and said: "There is no doubt that Nux vomica was poisoned, but Hao Zao was poisoned by Nux vomica. Why did Su Ling get involved?"
Fang Xi added: "I didn't expect it at first, but after asking the woman, I found out that Hao Zao has been working beside Su Ling, the bad hall, but he is highly regarded by Su Ling, and even more so by Su Ling.
He copied a copy of the raw material prescription and proportions of the cold scented pills and gave them to Hao Zao. But he didn’t know that Hao Zao still knew the uses of those medicines. When he saw Nux Vomica and the dosage used,
He already knew that this Lengxiang Pill was definitely not a magic medicine, but a poison that could kill people! So he was uneasy, and when he got home, he told his wife about the secret ingredient in Lengxiang Pill, and said that it would cost a lot of money.
Stop Su Ling from harming others, and report it to the Yamen tomorrow!"
Speaking of this, Fang Xi felt sad, and said with tears: "It's just a pity that Hao Zao was killed by the thief Su Ling that night, and died of the poison! I failed to observe! Let this happen
Later, Xinglin lost her life in vain! So, for the sake of justice, I submitted a petition to the Lord's Mansion, and even came to this bad hall first, and really saw Su Ling destroying evidence!"
Hearing this, Yang Shuzu nodded and asked, "Where is that woman now? Send her here for questioning!"
Fang Xi waved his hand and said: "My lord, my lord, Su Ling is so cruel. How dare this woman come here? I told her to come with me, but she was so frightened that she had no choice. I gave her fifty
For two silver coins, she said she would go back to her parents' home in the countryside to avoid the limelight, and she would come back after Su Ling was punished."
When Yang Shuzu heard this, his expression was a little dazed. Although Fang Xi understood what he said, Hao Zao's wife could no longer be present, so it was hard to believe what was going on here.
Su Ling sneered and said: "Another poisoning trick? Hey, Fang Xi, is the script you got exactly the same as those bastards in Nanzhang? Look at your tearful face, are you going to post it?
Here’s the little gold man for you!”
Yang Shuzu's eyes were solemn and he said: "Su Ling, this party accuses you of killing people and concocting tiger and wolf medicine. The testimony has been recorded. Do you have anything else to say?"
Su Ling said calmly: "Of course there is! What about the first one? Even if Hao Zao died from the poison of Nux Vomica, there is no evidence at all that it has anything to do with me. How can you be sure that I was the one who poisoned you? This is the first one.
Secondly, it is said that my Lengxiang Pills were mixed with too much Nux Vomica, but I don’t understand why I sold so many Lengxiang Pills and why no one died from the poison? Also, you said Hao Zao died
Yes, but where is the body? You can tell it based on what you said?"
Fang Xi said coldly: "I've been waiting for you to say this! Come here! Bring Hao Zao's body up!"
Someone in the crowd moved in response to the sound and headed outside the backyard door. Suddenly, a dead body was brought in and placed near Yang Shuzu.
When everyone looked around, they saw the body of a young man. His face was blue and his lips were purple, which was indeed a sign of poisoning.
This person is none other than Hao Zao, whom I haven't seen since this morning.
Fang Xi sneered: "You must know this person, Su Ling!"
Su Ling sneered and said nothing.
Du Heng and Wang Jun suddenly became nervous.
Fang Xi added: "Sir, Su Ling said that there was no nux vomica in the cold scented pills. Maybe it was true before. It was only mixed with this stuff in the past few days. Therefore, before it was exposed, he burned the remaining ones.
Cold-flavored pills, if you want to verify them, it’s actually very simple!”
Yang Shuzu heard this and said: "Simple? How can it be simple?"
Fang Xi waved his hand again and said: "Invite all the folks in!"
As soon as he finished speaking, four or five of his minions were seen attracting hundreds of people, all of whom had a medicine bag in their hands.
Su Ling, Du Heng and Wang Jun all recognized it clearly, it was the cold scented pills sold this morning.
Wang Jun and Du Heng's expressions changed greatly, and Du Heng even whispered to Su Ling: "Su Ling, what should I do? You said there was something wrong with the cold fragrance pills this morning, and they were mixed with poison!"
Su Ling made a silent gesture and stared at Fang Xi without saying a word.
When Fang Xi saw everyone coming in, he said loudly: "Fellow fellow villagers, the Lengxiang Pills you are holding are poisonous tiger and wolf medicine. You have all been deceived by Su Ling! Mr. Yang is here now. Please
If you hand over the medicine bag in your hand for inspection, Mr. Yang will definitely give everyone justice."
When these people heard this, they immediately started whispering earnestly. Some of them believed what he said, while others were dubious.
I don't know who took the lead in shouting: "If it is poison, we will know after testing it, so we can rest assured that it is not!"
As soon as these words came out, all the people stepped forward, placed the medicine bags in their hands on the ground, and stood aside.
Fang Xi looked at Su Ling with a sneer and said: "Su Ling, you sold these medicines, don't deny it!"
However, Su Ling did not quibble, and nodded: "This is indeed my shameless Lengxiang Pill."
Fang Xi laughed and said: "Okay! Whether there is any problem with these medicines, we will know after a test!"
Suddenly, he seemed to be quite proud as he came closer to Su Ling and whispered: "Su Ling, when you were burning these medicines, weren't you very strange? It was obviously a thousand packages, but there was only one package missing.
Don’t you want to know where the missing packet went?”
Su Ling stared at Fang Xi with burning eyes and said nothing.
After a burst of sinister laughter, Fang Xi said slowly: "Look what's in my hand?"
As he spoke, he took out a packet of medicine from nowhere.
Su Ling looked at it coldly, and there was no doubt that it was the missing pack of Leng Xiang Pills.
Su Ling raised his hand and wanted to snatch it.
Fang Xi seemed to have expected this move, and used his body to protect the packet of medicine, and said coldly: "Su Ling, no matter how hard it is, you still can't count on this!"
After saying that, he turned to Yang Shuzu and said: "Master Yang, this packet of medicine in my hand was found on Hao Zao's desk. It was just that it had been opened at that time. There were originally ten pills in it, but only the last one was left.
. Presumably Hao Zao was given nine pills at once when he was about to die, and then he died from the Nux Vomica poison!"
As he spoke, Fang Xi carefully opened the medicine packet, and as expected there was only one cold-flavored pill inside.
The Lengxiang Pills were light silver, crystal clear, and just like the Lengxiang Pills made by Su Ling.
Fang Xi held the cold scented pill in his hand, walked slowly to Su Ling, raised the pill in front of his face, and said coldly: "Su Ling, you said this medicine is not poison, do you dare to take it?"
Su Ling was stunned at first, as if he was a little hysterical, and suddenly jumped up to three inches away from him. He raised his head, pointed it up and down, half over Fang Xi's head, pointed at the cold fragrance pill, and shouted loudly: "
You suspect that this medicine is poisonous, come and take it! Why do you ask me?"
How could Fang Xi be frightened by him? He pressed his head half down on Su Ling's head and shouted: "Don't you dare take it, this medicine is obviously poisonous!"
"Eat it if you dare!"
"Don't you dare to eat?"
"You dare to eat?"
"Eat!", "Eat!"
The two of them were disturbing each other incessantly. One moment his figure was half of his head, and the other moment his figure was half of his head.
Everyone present was so noisy that their heads were a little big.
Suddenly, Su Ling took advantage of Fang Xi's unpreparedness. When he raised the pill in front of his face, he snatched the pill with his hands like lightning. Without any hesitation, he stuffed the pill straight into Fang Xi's mouth like lightning.
Go in.
Hearing a hiccup, Fang Xi swallowed the whole pill. Fang Xi choked so much that he rolled his eyes and spread it on his chest for a long time before he could catch his breath.
Looking at Fang Xi's expression, he was already confused. He jumped up and down like a mourning concubine and exclaimed: "Su Ling! You, you, you! This medicine is poisonous, you sneak attack on me! Oops, I'm going to be poisoned to death!"
Having said this, he knelt down towards Yang Shuzu. At this time, he was really crying. He burst into tears and said, "Master Yang! Help! Su Ling is plotting against me and wants to kill me and silence me! Yang
Sir, let me make the decision. I must ask Su Ling to hand over the antidote as soon as possible. I'm afraid I will die from the poison soon!"
Yang Shuzu did not expect that Su Ling would suddenly do this. He looked solemn and said angrily: "Su Ling, you are a bastard, why don't you hand over the antidote quickly?"
Su Ling sneered and said: "If you don't flash when you go out, you can't blame others! Antidote? Where is the antidote? But if you drink half a bucket of feces and urine and induce vomiting in time, you may be able to spit out the poison, who knows...
..”
Fang Xi had a sad face, expecting that there was nothing he could do, so he had to shout to his subordinates: "Why are you still standing there, why don't you go quickly!"
The two men were stunned at first, so they had to find a wooden barrel and headed towards the land of grain reincarnation.
Du Heng was already laughing loudly and shouted: "Hey, I just made it this morning. I guess the soup is simmering and still warm at this moment!..."
After a while, the two men covered their mouths and noses with their sleeves and returned carrying the barrel.
The wooden barrel was yellow and sticky, with soup and water in it. It was so smelly that it made people feel nauseous immediately.
Even Yang Shuzu, the leader of the Dragon Platform, stepped back more than ten feet, covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves, and turned his back.
The two men found another big wooden spoon and handed it to Fang Xi. After thinking for a long time, they had to say something, and then they stammered: "Master... Master, please use it slowly!"...
."
Fang Xi angrily kicked each of them in the buttocks, but still refused to go to the barrel. However, after thinking for a long time, he could do nothing. He was afraid that if he delayed for too long, he would become poisonous.
He had no choice but to cover his nose with his sleeve, holding the wooden spoon in his other hand, and walked towards the barrel step by step.
There was already a look of despair on his face.
When he came closer to the bucket, the smell was so intense that his intestines and stomach were churning. He gritted his teeth and scooped out half a spoonful. Before he could take out the spoon, he couldn't bear it anymore and vomited.
stand up.
Su Ling laughed loudly and said: "You asked for this on yourself, you can't blame anyone else! I think it's almost time, do you really want to ask you to eat this thing?"
As he spoke, he walked directly to the corpse of Hao Zao, bared his teeth towards the corpse and said, "I said, it's cold on the ground, get up!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Hao Zao, who was lying upright on the ground, suddenly sighed and sat up...
