In fact, Wu De was thinking too much, and Lu Xiaoxian had no intention of paying a settlement with him, or Lu Xiaoxian didn't take Wu De seriously at all and was disdainful to pay a settlement with him.

Wu De's business was squeezed by the Fahrenheit clinic, and it would have been worse than it would have been. If it weren't for the fact that Yangyuan Dan could be sold, it would have been closed long ago.

Yangyuan Dan is made by Wu De's clinic based on secret recipes. It can eliminate a disease prevalent in the local area. Therefore, it is very popular. Its profit accounts for 40% of the total profit of the clinic every year.

Wu De was a very good at medical skills, but he was very business-minded. He hired two gentlemen, one of whom was surnamed Su and the other was surnamed Zhu, both of whom were experts in taking pulse and taking medicine.

Especially Mr. Su, he made good pills. From purchasing medicine, washing to boiling juice, and rubbing pills, he worked hard.

The pills he made are bright in color and have good efficacy, which no one can compare to.

Wu De valued Mr. Su very much and gave him dozens of taels of silver every year than Mr. Zhu's.

Yangyuan Dan consists of 7749 Chinese medicines. Mr. Su knew forty-eight kinds, and only one was in Wu De's hands.

Only when the forty-eight kinds of medicines were all equipped, Wu De sent away the people around him, took out a red paper bag from his arms, poured some mysterious medicine powder into the medicine pot, stirred it with a stick for a few times, and then burned the red paper.

That medicine is the most critical. Without it, Yangyuan Dan, it cannot be made. Wu De saw it as more precious than life. No one knew what it was except himself.

It started to rain lightly that evening, and Wu De probably had no business anymore, so he asked everyone to go back earlier.

Not far away from Mr. Su, a young man came to catch up with him panting and said that there was something urgent to ask him to go back. Mr. Su returned to the pharmacy and found that everyone was sitting there, each with a shady face and did not speak.

It turned out that when Wu De cleaned the ginseng cabinet just now, he found that the door of the cabinet was pried and a piece of wild ginseng was missing. The wild ginseng is an authentic mountain product, and it costs at least 300 taels of silver.

Seeing that everyone was silent, the accountant said, "I am willing to search my body in order to prove my innocence."

Since someone spoke, the rest were not inconvenient to object, and they all went to the back cabinet to undergo a body search.

After searching for a long time, no results were found.

In the end, only Mr. Su and Mr. Zhu were left.

Wu De said, "You two gentlemen, please spare me."

Mr. Zhu stood up and said, "No, I'm willing to search."

As he said that, Mr. Zhu glanced at Mr. Su.

Mr. Su also nodded and said, "Everyone searches, I have no reason to be exceptional!"

After saying that, Mr. Su and Mr. Zhu arrived at the back cabinet together.

Strangely, Mr. Zhu and Mr. Su don’t have that wild ginseng on them either.

Wu De panicked and said, "It's really strange, can the ginseng fly away by itself?"

After saying that, Wu De sat on the chair with a look of depression.

Everyone stood there and froze for a long time. Wu De came to his senses and waved his hand and said, "Oh, you guys go, put on an umbrella, and be careful to drip!"

Everyone grabbed the umbrella and was about to go out when Mr. Zhu suddenly said, "Slowly, everyone, I see that your umbrella has not been searched yet!"

A word reminds everyone, yes, things can also be hidden in the handle of the umbrella.

So, they searched for umbrellas one by one.

When I found Mr. Su, a young man was holding an iron hook

Zi, hooked into the handle of the umbrella and hooked a small white cloth bag. When I opened it, I saw that it was the wild ginseng!

When Mr. Su saw it, he was immediately confused. He held Wu De's hand and kept explaining: "Please believe me, I will not do such a thing, really won't... Someone is definitely making trouble!"

Everyone, look at me, look at you, and they all left silently.

Wu De comforted: "I don't believe that you did this. I guess someone wants to use your umbrella to bring this ginseng out. Don't worry, I will find out slowly."

The next day, Mr. Su came to the pharmacy. Although the accountant and the guys were still as polite as before, he vaguely felt that they were all looking at him with strange eyes.

Mr. Zhu even pointed and sneered from time to time.

Mr. Su is a very face-loving person. He found Wu De and said he wanted to quit his job at the pharmacy.

Wu De tried his best to keep him and persuaded him earnestly: "You can't leave. Where can I find such a good husband like you after you leave? I'm observing in secret, and I'll soon catch the thief! Let's go to Yixianglou to have a drink to relieve my anger..."

Wu De advised for a long time. Although Mr. Su gave up the idea of ​​resigning, he still had a big bump in his heart. He looked dazed and almost caught the wrong medicine several times.

On the third morning, everyone came early, but Mr. Su refused to show up.

Wu De came back after breakfast and asked the accountant why Mr. Su didn't come?

The accountant said that I sent someone to the house he rented to check it out. The door was locked and I didn't know where he went.

Wu De frowned: "I'm missing? Then go to Sujiazhuang to ask Mrs. Su if he was going home, and he would invite him back no matter what he said!"

The accountant asked a young man to hurry to Sujiazhuang, more than ten miles away, to invite someone.

When he arrived in Sujiazhuang, Mrs. Su said that she had not seen Mr. Su go home, so the young man had to return in disappointment.

In the afternoon, someone found his body in a pond outside the city, and Mr. Su actually committed suicide by diving into the water.

Everyone was surprised and said that it was fine now that a ginseng killed a life. Mr. Su must have been wronged. He used his death to prove his innocence. Whoever framed him would be punished...

Mrs. Su rushed over and saw her husband's body and cried to death.

She knew her husband well and didn't believe that he would do that. After talking nonsense, the audience became more confident and handed a piece of paper to the county government. She wanted the county magistrate to find out the stolen person, to make his husband innocent and let him die with peace of mind.

Lu Xiaoxian received the complaint and asked several constables to inquire about Mr. Su's character. The man came back and reported: "We went to the neighborhood to investigate with Sujiazhuang. Everyone said that Mr. Su was definitely a reliable and decent person."

Lu Xiaoxian knew that Mr. Su was undoubtedly wronged, otherwise he would not have committed suicide, so he told Wu De, Mr. Zhu, Mr. Accountant and a group of young men to come for interrogation.

Wu De patted his chest and said, "It must not be my fault. Mr. Su is my pillar. How could I bear to lose him?"

The accountant and the guys also kept saying that they didn't do it.

Only Mr. Zhu is the most suspicious.

According to the accountant, he always feels that his medical skills are not worse than Mr. Su, but he gets less money than Mr. Su. He is very dissatisfied and loves him from time to time.

I complained a few words behind my back and cursed a few bad words.

But Mr. Zhu also refused to admit that he did it himself. He said: "I am a little jealous of Mr. Su, but I swear I have never framed him!"

Seeing that Mr. Zhu had a bad head and a mouse-eyed look, Lu Xiaoxian asked coldly: "I ask you, how did you know that the ginseng was hidden in the handle of the umbrella?"

Mr. Zhu said: "My county magistrate, the villain also said nothing and made a mistake..."

Lu Xiaoxian laughed and said, "What a mistake. Then I'll ask you again, why don't others know, but you only know?"

"This...this..." Mr. Zhu was speechless for a moment.

Seeing that Mr. Zhu refused to submit and stopped asking questions, Lu Xiaoxian took Ji Wen and the detective coroner to the scene to inspect.

Lu Xiaoxian came to the pond and saw that the water was dirty, and there was a clear river not far away.

After pondering for a long time, Lu Xiaoxian said to Ji Wen: "According to the investigation, Mr. Su is the most particular person in daily life. Even if he wants to commit suicide, why didn't he jump into the clean river and choose this stinky puddle? It's very strange, there must be a problem here."

When Ji Wen heard this, he thought Lu Xiaoxian's words made sense, so he called the coroner to examine Su Tianji's body.

The coroner searched for a long time but couldn't find any suspicious points.

Lu Xiaoxian asked, "Have you ever looked at the dead man's hair carefully?"

The coroner carefully opened the deceased's hair and found a small piece of plaster as big as a soybean sticking on the top of his head. He pulled out a silver needle half a foot long! It turned out that Mr. Su did not commit suicide, but was murdered, and the matter was a big deal.

Lu Xiaoxian looked solemn: "From the way of committing the crime, it is probably the work of the people in their clinic. Don't make any noise for now, so as not to alarm the enemy."

After returning to the yamen, Lu Xiaoxian brought Mr. Zhu again to interrogate him carefully.

Mr. Zhu explained every word and deed of everyone in the pharmacy after the incident. Lu Xiaoxian made a note of it on paper, and secretly brought a friend from the pharmacy. The guy said the same as what Mr. Zhu said.

Finally, Lu Xiaoxian said to Ji Wen: "According to their explanation, I have roughly concluded who the person who committed the crime was, but I still have to think of a plan to hold him. We are all familiar faces, and I'm afraid Mr. Wei will come forward!"

Lu Xiaoxian and Ji Wen changed into casual clothes and quietly came to Wei Xianyun's residence.

Lu Xiaoxian told Wei Xianyun about his thoughts. After hearing this, Wei Xianyun nodded and said, "This matter is easy to deal with!

Wei Xianyun used a potion to write four sentences on white paper: "The sharp weapon is penetrated by the top, and it cannot be reborn, and it will not be able to solve the bell, and it will be a big disaster." Under normal circumstances, this potion is invisible and will only appear after being heated.

Wei Xianyun pretended to be a monk and pretended to hide from the rain and came straight to Baoquan Hall.

Wu Dezheng and the tent officer were playing chess. Wei Xianyun glanced at him and said, "The black chess is lost."

Sure enough, Black Chess lost in a short while.

The tentman looked up and saw that it was a fairy-like man with a bird cage with a fairy-like face. He asked, "Can you really kill the good and bad luck of man? How about counting my life?"

Wei Xianyun nodded and said, "Today, I am destined to take shelter from the rain with high places. I will count your life for you for free!"
