In the yamen, Meng Zulun was sitting in the courtroom, and Ye Qingquan was standing next to him.
At this moment, Meng Zulun was looking at the cases that Ye Qingquan had handled in the past few years. He frowned as he looked at them: "Overall, it's pretty good. The cases are all handled well, but the little things about the common people in the book are... Are the disputes all about medicines and health care products?"
Ye Qingquan cupped his hands and said, "Sir, these small disputes all start with the purpose of your visit this time."
Meng Zulun touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "You mean, the source of all this is the case from the past year?"
Ye Qingquan nodded and said no more.
Meng Zulun uncovered the case from the past year. The reason turned out to be that he discovered that a drug dealer was selling counterfeit medicine, which had harmed the lives of people. In a rage, he took the drug owner's life. However, in this confession from the past, he said that he had controlled the intensity of the slap and it would not have hurt the life of the medicine head.
"Now that the drug leader is dead, no one will continue to sell counterfeit drugs. This scene was already imprisoned in prison last year, so why do people still have small disputes over drugs? Mr. Ye Can you give me a reasonable explanation?"
Ye Qingquan bowed his head and said: "This is also the reason that Xianguan has always wanted to find. In the past few years, not only the physical fitness of the residents of Xiwan Town has become worse, but also the physical condition of the residents of the nearby towns has also become worse. , so there was a dispute over some medicines."
Meng Zulun suddenly closed the case book angrily: "Hmph, it seems that Mr. Ye also divides the cases into small and large cases to solve. Some big cases can be solved so perfectly, but these small disputes cannot be solved. So come. I overestimated you, Mr. Ye."
Ye Qingquan took a few steps back, knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "It is true that my subordinate has neglected his duty. I hope you will be given a lighter sentence."
Meng Zulun snorted softly: "That's all, after seeing that you have handled many cases so well, I won't be upset. However, this case in the past year has been interrogated by me alone. Assistant trial I don’t need you, just watch me watch the case."
Ye Qingquan hesitated for a while and then asked: "My lord, I'm afraid this is not good. Although I have made mistakes, the lower officials have always been responsible for this case. If I don't need to be the assistant trial, your lord may not be clear about the case. There will inevitably be some obstacles when the trial begins.”
Meng Zulun stood up, put his hands behind his back, and looked sideways at Ye Qingquan who was kneeling on the ground: "Oh, let's put it this way, Mr. Ye has tried more cases than me and has more experience than me. They all need to be taught. I'm done."
I saw Ye Qingquan's head lowered even more, and he said more humbly: "I don't dare to do this."
"Huh, you know what I'm doing. Now I'm going to the prison to see what happened in the past. You just watch me honestly try this case." Meng Zulun waved his sleeves and turned around to walk in the direction of the prison. go.
Meng Zulun walked into the prison. It was dry and clean. From time to time, there would be a slight breeze from the window of the prison. It was comfortable, and yes, there were also those few rays of sunlight shining in. It was not like a prison cell, but more like a woodshed.
The further he walked in, the more shocked Meng Zulun was. All the prisoners in the prison were working, whether they were doing sculpture or embroidery. Some of them were still painting and reading. These actions made Meng Zulun shocked and jealous.
As a third-grade official, would Meng Zulun know what the behavior of these prisoners meant? Obviously, this is to allow the prisoners to rehabilitate themselves in prison in advance, so that they will have skills after they are released from prison.
This is incredible, this Ye Qingquan is really incredible. Although this method has been promoted in the capital prison, the prisoners in the prison do not accept this method at all. Even if they do, they are just pretending. And the prisoners here have a sincere heart that wants to repent, even if they are prisoners who will never be able to get out, it is good to do more, whether it is to contribute to the country, or to accumulate points for themselves in the next life. Virtue is also OK. Therefore, Ye Qingquan is great at this point.
Soon, Meng Zulun walked to the cell where Mu used to be, and saw only two cells. Two people were boxing, an old man was teaching boxing, and a child was learning boxing. Meng Zulun coughed, and the guard beside him walked to the cell and asked the two to stop practicing boxing. An adult wanted to see them.
The two knelt down and said in unison: "See you, sir."
Meng Zulun put his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "Get up, if I guess correctly, if you are from the past, then this child should be Chen Hongjing who was involved in the recent case of manslaughter of a patient, right?"
Chen Hongjing cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Chen Hongjing, a common man, has met your Excellency."
Meng Zulun laughed loudly and said: "Don't be nervous, you two. Both of you were imprisoned for manslaughter. And I came to Xiwan Town this time specifically to investigate your case last year. As for little friend Chen Hongjing , your case may have to be postponed for a while."
The two said in unison again: "Thank you, sir."
Meng Zulun smiled again and said: "Haha, don't thank me too much. As for me, I don't deal with the situation and the person. As long as you are wronged, I will clear your grievances. If you really killed someone intentionally, then that's okay. You will be punished accordingly. However, judging from how Mr. Ye worked so hard to find clues for you two, I also believe that you two must be unjust. I will try to reduce the punishment when I look for evidence for you two again."
The two held hands together again and said, "Thank you, sir."
After Meng Zulun left, Chen Hongjing smiled and said to Mu Xiannian: "That's great, Senior Mu, you can try this case before me. Listening to the tone of the gentleman just now, I believe that we have been wronged. It will be sure when the time comes He will avenge us just like Mr. Ye did."
"Ha, when it's my turn to go out to find you, I will definitely let you see how proficient I am in practicing the Justice Fist. But I may have to make my senior wait for five to ten years. ”
When Mu saw Chen Hongjing put his hands on his hips, he imitated Chen Hongjing and said, "That gentleman just now is a powerful man. Judging from the color of his official uniform, he is a third-rank official. Do you know, this The third-grade official is a high-ranking official. With him redressing the grievances for both of us, maybe after letting me out, the next step will be your turn."
Mu Xiannian straightened his body and continued: "Come on, let's continue practicing. When we go out, if you don't perform well, don't say this is the Xingxia Justice Fist, let alone the Xingxia Fist I taught you. Justice fist."
Chen Hongjing patted his chest: "I promise I won't embarrass my senior."
Mu Xiannian laughed loudly, "Okay, then let's continue to practice the Xingxia Justice Fist."
——
Three days later, the four people gathered under the plaque in Sudou Town, Mao Qi and Li Xude, Fan Xiaoxi and Gao Zhuli. Mao Qi looked at the two of them smiling at him and felt annoyed. He snorted and said, "You don't have to put on a smiling face all the time when you're facing me. There's no need."
Fan Xiaoxi smiled and said, "What did Master Mao say? This is our respect for you, Master Mao."
Mao Qi didn't have time to talk nonsense with them anymore, so he went directly to the topic and said: "The fact that you are here means that the clues you have found also point to this town."
Fan Xiaoxi clapped his hands, gave a thumbs up to Mao Qi, turned to Gao Zhuli and said, "Zhugan, let me just say that Master Mao is very smart. Come on, Master, let's find an inn." , and then get a private room, go in and eat and chat."
After investigation, it was discovered that almost every household in every town in Buxing Kingdom bought some health medicines. Therefore, in the past few years, there has naturally been more business in drug sales.
There are so many methods, ranging from small street stalls to small shops, to large ones, the main source of income of the entire town depends on this drug business, and even the town boss has promoted it.
Li Xude said: "In the towns that my teacher and I investigated, the main health-care drug sales groups are middle-aged and elderly people, who mainly sell Qi-tonifying drugs."
Fan Xiaoxi said: "In the towns that Gao Zhuli and I investigated, the main sales group of health care drugs are young adults, and there are even children's versions of health care products. The health care products for young adults are mainly to replenish qi, and for Children's health products are mainly smart. However, we bought these two health products for comparison. Except for some common ingredients, the main pharmaceutical ingredients are the same."
Li Xude nodded and said: "The teacher and I also bought different health products from different pharmacies and drug stalls for comparison. Except for some common ingredients that are different, the rest are all the same medicinal ingredients. And , these products are all from the same pharmaceutical company."
The four people have made their words very clear, and now all the clues point to a pharmaceutical factory in Sudou Town called Yusheng Pharmaceutical Factory.
The four of them came to the gate of this Yusheng Pharmaceutical Factory. There was a big couplet written on two big pillars.
Zuo Lian: Searching famous mountains to pick herbs can save a life.
Right couplet: I only want the herb shelves to gather dust, but I don’t want people to step through the door.
Horizontal couplet: Reborn from the ashes, just for the common people.
After Fan Xiaoxi read it out, he couldn't help but clapped his hands and exclaimed: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, this literary talent, this carving, so majestic. Look at the bamboo pole, it would be great if someone in our Licorice Hall could have such grace."
Gao Zhuli rolled his eyes at Fan Xiaoxi: "Don't we also have a couplet in our drugstore?"
Fan Xiaoxi rolled his eyes at Gao Zhuli and said, "Can it be compared? Our couplets are not directly copied from those left by ancient sages. They must have been written like theirs to be grand."
Gao Zhuli smiled and said: "If you are able, you go back and I will ask the hall master to give you a chance to write. Leave quickly. If you don't leave, you won't be able to keep up."
Gao Zhuli hurriedly ran up, followed closely by Mao Qi and Li Xude, but Fan Xiaoxi shook his head and said, "Don't panic in everything, take your time."
The four people came to the counter and after identifying themselves, the shopkeeper asked them to wait for a moment before going in first to inform them.
The four of them looked around. This was the hall for entertaining guests. This hall had two doors. One door led to the shop, which was the door where the shopkeeper led the four people in. The other gate is where factory production and pharmaceuticals are made.
"Master Mao Qi, Senior Brother Li Xude, what do you think?" Fan Xiaoxi's words reached their hearts.
Li Xude responded: "We have shown our identity, and the boss of the pharmaceutical factory should receive us warmly. For the time being, it should be a good thing, and we will investigate."
Fan Xiaoxi nodded, he really couldn't tell anything at the moment. Their identities are Blood Scorpion Hall and Licorice Hall in Ganshu City. Even if their identities as three students are put aside, Mao Qi's identity is indeed very popular.
As long as outside pharmacies and pharmaceutical companies can establish a relationship with one of the schools in Ganshu City, they will get a lot of benefits, both in terms of business and technology. Not only can you make money, but you can also save people, and get both fame and fortune. I’m afraid you’ll want it even if you fight over it.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry for keeping you all waiting for so long." A middle-aged man wearing navy blue clothes, holding two jade walnuts in his left hand, and a jade ring on his right thumb, was holding a big belly. The man came in.
As a result, the middle-aged man suddenly changed his expression when he walked halfway, and shouted angrily toward the door: "Shopkeeper, get out of here!"
The shopkeeper walked in timidly, his voice trembling as he spoke: "Old...boss, what do you want from me?"
The middle-aged man pointed at the tea on the table and roared: "What's the matter! Are you using this kind of garbage tea to entertain a few distinguished guests from Ganshu City? Why don't you dump it for me quickly and go get the best one?" Come here with the tea!”
The shopkeeper nodded quickly and ran out in a hurry. The middle-aged man snorted angrily, and when he turned to look at the four people, his expression changed again, and he said to the four people with a smile on his face: "Hahaha, everyone, I'm really sorry. The people under my command are so ignorant that they are so ignorant. Serving you all with such low-quality tea."
Mao Qi stood up, raised his hands and said: "It's just a trivial matter, the boss doesn't need to care. I am Mao Qi from Blood Scorpion Hall, and this is Li Xude, a student of our Blood Scorpion Hall. As for these two, they are from The students of Licorice Hall are Fan Xiaoxi and Gao Zhuli."
Before Mao Qi finished speaking, the three of them stood up consciously and gestured towards the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man also raised his hands and said: "My name is Tu Lumin, and I am also the owner of this bathing medicine factory. One look at these gentlemen, and one can guess that several more miracle doctors will come to this world in the future. Hahahahaha. A few of them, Stop standing, sit down, sit down."
"It's hard to believe that our small pharmaceutical factory is favored by the two major universities in Ganshu City. I wonder what the purpose of these people's visit is?"
Mao Qi said: "Boss Tu is joking. The health products of Yusheng Pharmaceutical Factory are all over the Buxing Kingdom. We also want to come here to see how they are produced. Of course, we will not look in vain. If we find that your factory If there are suitable talents, they will naturally be brought to Ganshu City for training."
"And if the health products are really good, we would also like to do more business with Boss Tu."
Tu Lumin's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly said: "That's really great. Once the shopkeeper brings the tea and has a few cups, I will take all the distinguished guests in to have a look."
Mao Qi added: "Actually, there is one more thing I want to ask Boss Tu."
"Oh, please ask Mr. Mao Qi."
"Does Boss Tu know about this case in Xiwan Town in the past?"
