It turns out that Huangfu Ge collected a batch of high-quality rhino horns on behalf of Lu Ying.
It was transported to the capital and prepared to be handed over to Taiyuan Hospital.
Unexpectedly, when inspecting the goods, something was wrong.
At first glance, it looks like rhino horn, but in fact, only the thin outer layer is rhino horn, and the inside is buffalo horn.
This involves peeling off the layers of rhino horn, putting buffalo horn in, and gluing it together with pork bone glue.
A rhino horn can be peeled off seven or eight layers, which means that a rhino horn can be sold for seven or eight times more.
Because it is the most expensive rhinoceros horn, its price is about ten times that of ordinary rhino horns.
Counterfeiting medicinal materials is a serious crime, let alone supplying it to a large hospital.
This matter must be investigated strictly, so Lu Ying confessed Huangfu Ge, saying that he did not purchase these medicinal materials personally, but entrusted them to his friends.
So the police from the capital came directly to Ruzhou, locked up Huangfu Ge and took him to the capital.
Luo Dongqing was less than three months pregnant at the time, but she didn't care and followed her husband to the capital.
The person who accompanied her to Beijing was her natal brother. The two of them spent a lot of money to hire a lawyer in the capital, wrote a petition and went to the Yamen to complain.
But when the paper was handed over, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and the government refused to accept it.
After the case was concluded, Huangfu Ge was convicted of a felony and ordered to be executed by Queen Qiu.
Luo Dongqing refused to accept it and kept appealing.
But one night, her brother was beaten to death by a group of people who came from nowhere while looking for the lawyer.
Luo Dongqing reported to the police and demanded that the murderer be arrested.
But the government said that this was an unsolved case, committed by homeless people, and in the end they just randomly arrested two idle men to take the blame.
Luo Dongqing was a female prostitute with no relatives or friends in the capital, so she suffered a miscarriage under a series of blows.
She dragged her illness to appeal on behalf of her husband and brother, but the government labeled her a traitor and ordered her to leave Beijing as soon as possible, otherwise she would be imprisoned.
When she was desperate, Lu Ying appeared and cried bitterly in front of her, saying that she had just been released as well.
He insisted on taking Luo Dongqing in, and also said that he would appeal together and try to save Huangfu Ge's life. Read the book
At this time, Luo Dongqing was desperate, and with a glimmer of hope, she moved into the place where Lu Ying arranged for her.
After that, Lu Ying came to visit her almost every day and showed great care.
Luo Dongqing was worried about her husband's life and asked him when he would appeal again?
Lu Ying said that he had hired the most famous lawyer in Beijing, but the plaintiff was Taiyuan Hospital, and it was not easy to get them to let go.
He did think of a way, but he was afraid that Luo Dongqing and his wife would not agree.
Luo Dongqing hurriedly asked what the solution was.
Lu Ying said that in order to calm down the Taiyuan Hospital, it was best to make amends.
He knew that the Huangfu family had the "Eight Immortals Pill" passed down from their ancestors. This is a patent medicine and the most treasured treasure of the Huangfu family. It has miraculous effects on all diseases caused by wind, evil and dampness.
If the formula of this medicine can be presented to the Taiyuan Hospital, Huangfu Ge's life should be redeemed.
However, the recipe for this medicine was passed down orally from generation to generation by the Huangfu family and has never been written down.
Huangfu Ge has no brothers and his father has passed away, so he is the only one in the world who knows this secret recipe.
Lu Ying asked Luo Dongqing if he knew the formula of this medicine, but of course Luo Dongqing didn't.
Lu Ying then said that Brother Huangfu was stubborn and would rather die than hand over the secret recipe.
It would be best if you, sister-in-law, visit him in prison and don't tell him that the child in his belly is gone.
In this way, he must have thought that the Huangfu family would have children, and at the same time, he did not have much time left, so he would naturally tell his wife the prescription, which was to leave it to his unborn child.
After Luo Dongqing got the prescription, he could donate it, so that the court would be merciful and let Huangfuge live.
If it were an ordinary woman who only wanted to save her husband, she would not doubt Lu Ying.
But Luo Dongqing kept an eye out. She went to visit her husband in prison and asked in detail about the circumstances of the trial at that time.
but
She did not ask about the formula of the Eight Immortals, but just told her husband that she would come again in a few days.
After returning home, she wrote a prescription herself and gave it to Lu Ying, saying that this was the formula for the Eight Immortals Pill.
Lu Ying was very happy, put away the prescription and left in a hurry.
But the next day he came aggressively to investigate.
Because that recipe is simply not right.
He asked Luo Dongqing to go to the prison to see Huangfu Ge and make sure to get the prescription.
Luo Dongqing refused to go, saying that he should want the recipe himself, so don't think he doesn't know.
Lu Ying screamed that he was wronged and said that he only wanted to save his friends.
Luo Dongqing cursed, saying that she had asked her husband. During the trial, your guilt was never mentioned from beginning to end, and you were not even confronted in court.
Isn't this enough to show that you are colluding with the government?
When Lu Ying saw her saying this, he stopped acting and stated his purpose straightforwardly.
From the beginning of his friendship with Huangfu Ge, it was because of this prescription.
As a medicine dealer, it would be a huge profit if he could make eight elixirs in large quantities and sell them.
Lu Ying first tried to get close to Huangfu Ge, but he couldn't get anything out of him, so he thought of ways to trap him and put him in prison.
Huangfu Ge suffered a lot of torture in prison, but he gritted his teeth and refused to say anything.
There was no other way, so he thought of using Luo Dongqing again.
Because Huangfu Ge would definitely not guard against his wife, and once he got the prescription, Huangfu Ge's life would be over.
Later, Luo Dongqing learned that the head of the Criminal Department at that time was Bao Shanhai, and Lu Ying bribed him with a large sum of money, and she became the victim.
The blame was placed on Huangfu Ge, saying that he had made fraud and defrauded money and had sinister intentions.
The people on the other side of Taiyuan Hospital had already discussed this, and naturally they were bribed by Lu Ying.
Now Lu Ying could no longer pretend in front of Luo Dongqing and completely revealed her true colors.
He said that he originally only wanted the secret recipe of the Eight Immortals, but after seeing Luo Dongqing, he wanted to take her as his own.
Luo Dongqing scolded him as worse than a beast, but Lu Ying didn't care. He even said that Luo Dongqing was seducing him intentionally or unintentionally.
He threatened Luo Dongqing, "You are a weak woman, your husband is in jail, and your brother was beaten to death, what kind of trouble can you make?"
All the officials from top to bottom have been bribed by me. You can't win even if you go to the underworld to sue me.
Those who know the truth will honestly commit themselves to me and work with Huangfu Ge to come up with the prescription.
Otherwise, you will never leave this yard in your life!
Later, Luo Dongqing went on a hunger strike to show that she would never surrender, so Lu Ying ordered her guards to deprive her of food to see how long she could survive.
He just wants Luo Dongqing to surrender.
Later, Luo Dongqing managed to escape and disfigured himself.
He fled to other places and remained anonymous for more than ten years, and only returned to the capital in the past three years.
In order to get the secret recipe of the Eight Immortals, Lu Ying could not take Huangfu Ge's life, so he tried to change his death sentence to imprisonment.
In order to one day be able to find out the secret recipe of the Eight Immortals.
