Chapter 23 Closing the Store

Chapter 23 Closing the Store
"Boom!" A burly man was thrown on the wall of the alley like a torn rag.He clutched his abdomen tightly, his body curled up like a cooked shrimp, and the corners of his mouth kept dripping blood.

"Do you still want to fight?" A gentleman in Xuanyi raised his foot, stepped on the chest of the strong man, and said coldly.

"Lang Jun!...Lang Jun, spare your life! No more fights! No more fights! But I... I really don't know." The strong man wailed in pain, and he wanted to struggle to die again.

"I don't know?" The man pressed his feet hard, and with a "bang", he pressed the strong man against the wall, and then leaned over and whispered in his ear, "How did you get the incense to ward off evil spirits and avoid plagues in your hand?" ?”

"Yes Yes……"

"Say it!" The man's voice suddenly turned dark.

"Don't kill me...it's...it's Shanchuntang's buddy Guihai..."

After getting the answer he wanted, the man let go of his feet, stood aside again, stared at the strong man calmly and said, "Chang Run!"

"My son is here! Sanlang!" Chang Run, who had been waiting at the entrance of the alley, stepped forward.

"It's tied up, and sent to Chang'an Lingfu in a bullock cart."

"Wei!" Chang Run beckoned, and two servants came from behind and hurriedly gagged the strong man's mouth, tied his body, and carried them together to the bullock cart parked at the entrance of the alley.Chang Run turned around and asked with concern after completing the matter that Mr. Lang asked, "You are injured."

Wen Weixing raised his right hand and looked at the scratches on the side of his palm, then put his hand down without paying attention, and left the alley without saying a word.Now he needs to find Chang'an Ling Yang Zuan, the first chief of Chang'an County, a friend in need that his father had saved.Maybe he'll know what's the best way to do it.

When he came out of Yang Zuan's mansion, Wen Weixing saw Qiu Mo and her maid standing across the street.

He walked over quickly and stood still in front of Qiu Mo.

"Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life!" Wen Weixing said softly, looking down at her.

Qiu Mo's cheeks were flushed, and she lowered her head shyly.But suddenly saw Wen Weixing's right hand, his white and slender knuckles were stained with blood!

Qiu Mo was startled, and quickly grabbed his wrist to check.

"Are you injured?" Qiu Mo asked worriedly.

"It's okay." Wen Weixing smiled like a child, he let Qiu Mo grab his hand and look around, and said softly, "It doesn't hurt."

His voice was not loud, but it made Qiu Mo's head buzz. She stared blankly at Wen Weixing, as if she had forgotten to breathe.When did this handsome and tall boy break into her heart?

"Let's go to the theater." Wen Weixing took her hand and led her to the car.

"The government handles the case! Idlers avoid it!!"

A group of yamen servants rushed into the Shanchun hall surrounded by the order of the Xishi Department and the order of Chang'an, and forcibly dispersed the patients and their families in the hall.

Immediately, Shanchuntang was sealed and closed, and all the pharmacists and Qiu Shiming who happened to be in the medical hall were locked inside.The common people gathered at the entrance of Shanchun Hall to watch the excitement crowded the whole alley.

"My lord! It's the Shanchuntang who confessed to this person hoarding and maliciously raising the price of medicine." A yamen servant pointed to the dying strong man lying on the ground, and told the order of the West Market Department and Yang Zhuan.

"Search the warehouse!" After the order from the West City Department, a team of government servants rushed into the warehouse and searched everywhere.

When Qiu Shiming saw this scene, he cried inwardly that something was wrong.

Although he and Aye had been prepared for a long time, they never expected that the government would rush in to search their warehouse when the West Market just opened at noon.There are hundreds of copies of the finished incense medicine and production materials of the evil spirits and plague-proof incense stored in the basement of the warehouse.

Sure enough, he was afraid of something.After a while, the yamen servants walked out of the warehouse with a waiter and hundreds of finished fragrant medicines.The other hundreds of production materials were also placed in the courtyard of the inner hall one by one.

"You are Guihai? Hurry up and recruit!" Xishi Department Commander sternly shouted as he looked at the man who was bound tightly.

"The villain is wronged! The villain doesn't know anything! The villain is only ordered to deliver the goods, and other things have nothing to do with the villain!" The man shouted bitterly.

"Tell me, who ordered you to sell plague-preventing incense at high prices!" the order of the West Market Department angrily reprimanded.

The clerk was mournful, and tremblingly said: "Little... villain..." His eyes couldn't help but aimed at Qiu Shiming who was standing in front of the counter.

"You bastard!" Seeing the guy's eyes, Qiu Shiming trembled with anger, "How dare you plant and frame him! You're spouting blood!"

"Qiu Erlang, why are you in such a hurry, it's your turn to speak when you have a chance." Yang Zuan squinted his eyes and looked at Qiu Shiming with a half-smile.

Qiu Shiming broke out in a cold sweat and didn't know how to deal with it, so he could only hold on and said: "My lord has learned, Xiaomin really doesn't know about this matter, really doesn't know."

"Hmph!" The West City Department Commander sneered, "Qiu Erlang, I think you won't cry when you see the coffin! Come on, let this slave identify you!"

"Wait a minute!" Chang'an ordered Yang Zuan to speak again, "I heard that the person responsible for Shan Chuntang's words is Qiu Qianshen, the third son of the Qiu family. Where is this person?"

"Reporting to the Chang'an Order, Qiu Qianshen is not in the hall." The yamen servant beside Yang Zuan replied with a bow, "The villain will send someone to look for it."

"Let's just wait, Qiu Erlang." Yang Zuan said lightly.

**************************************

"Lang Jun, what should we do? Zichan has also been locked up in the Shanchun Hall by the government..." Tian Niangzi tugged at the corner of Qiu Qianshen's clothes with tears in her eyes, already panicked and bewildered.

Qiu Qianshen's expression was calm, after all, he was well-informed.Although this was the first time this situation had been encountered today, the yamen servant did not come directly to Qiu's house, which meant that there was still a glimmer of hope for the matter.

"Master, there is a yamen servant outside the door, who says he is the magistrate Yang of Chang'an, please come to Shanchun Hall to tell me!" At this time, the voice of the third house steward Qiu Fu came from outside the door.

Qiu Qianshen and Mrs. Tian looked at each other with joy on their faces.Since he was greeted in the name of "please", it means that there is room for negotiation.Qiu Qianshen hurriedly asked his servants to help him put on his clothes, and after instructing Mrs. Tian a few words, he went out and followed the yamen servant to Shanchun Hall.
