Chapter 143: Drug Lord Dou: Oops, am I a substitute?
The fourth day.
Yesterday's imperial examination came to an end, and the scholars returned to their schools.
The tense atmosphere has not dissipated.
Because the murderer of the poisoning case has not yet been found.
According to the agreement, if Dou Decheng does not speak after three days of interrogation, he should be handed over to the captor for interrogation.
Li Yuanfang is coming!
Dou Jing felt like a formidable enemy.
Before dawn, a group of family members of drug addicts were waiting at the gate of the inner prison.
Dou Decheng in the prison was somewhat looking forward to it, thinking silently in his heart:
"I was originally wronged and had nothing to do with the scholar's poisoning case."
"And Li Yuanfang is recognized as a superb detective by the internal guards. He was the one who carried out the arrest, and it was he who won the Holy Heart."
"Once he thinks that I am not the murderer, the saint will also accept it, and I will be able to escape unscathed."
"But if those things are exposed..."
"It doesn't matter, there are so many people waiting for my elixir to save their lives, what can he do?"
"Hey, why aren't you here yet?"
The calculations were all right, and Dou Decheng was well prepared.
But the people waiting on the left didn't come, and the people waiting on the right still didn't come.
Dou Jing outside was also a little puzzled.
His father is now the most popular person, who doesn't want to interrogate him?
Does Li Yuanfang really not care about this huge contribution?
Everyone waited patiently until Chenshi, when they suddenly noticed that there was a commotion outside.
When Dou Jing walked out of the gate of the inner prison, she saw the inner guards moving quickly, some even running, full of energy and vitality.
He stopped one person and asked, "What are you doing?"
The guard's brows were filled with excitement: "Tell Dou Jiyi that someone is selling cloud pills in the West Market again. Li Jiyi wants to take us to investigate!"
"What!"
Dou Jing suddenly changed color.
Doulu Qinwang and others followed him out. Hearing this, he was happy and surprised, expecting and resisting.
The expression is extremely complex.
But no matter what they were thinking, their eyes turned cold when they looked at Dou Jing.
One of the most restless Ji Yishi whispered: "Dou Jing, didn't you say that you are the only one in the world who can refine cloud pills?"
Dou Jing stammered: "I... Aye said so..."
He did not originally understand Dou Decheng's business, but he was temporarily appointed to inherit his father's business.
He was not a heroic figure like Ni Yongxiao, so he immediately panicked.
The Jiyi's tone suddenly became fierce: "Dou Jing, you'd better hope that others don't sell it, otherwise I will make your father and son die a miserable death!"
Compared to his direct threat, the hatred of others boiled in their eyes, but they have not spoken out yet.
Especially Doulu Qinwang.
He turned back and stared at the cell, took a breath, and faintly smelled the fragrance of blood.
Doulu Qinwang licked his lips and went to the inner guard atrium together with other agents.
Dou Jing was left standing there for a moment, then rushed into the prison like crazy.
He waved away the Wu De guards who were guarding him, threw himself in front of Dou Decheng, and said in panic: "Aye, someone is selling cloud pills in the West Market!"
Dou Decheng was startled for a moment and said flatly: "It's impossible. The black ointment is in our hands. Others can make elixirs, but they can't make medicine."
Dou Jing's lips trembled: "But Li Yuanfang received the tip and took people to copy it. Yesterday, he put all the cloud pills confiscated from the Chamber of Commerce at the entrance of the inner guard. They can be seen coming and going. It is impossible to steal them from inside again.
, if someone else can sell it, then we are doomed!"
Dou Decheng shouted: "Why panic! Only a large quantity can affect us. If it is just a few dozen cloud pills, someone is hiding them deliberately and waiting for the price to rise before selling them. We, the Dou family, are not the only ones who will make money, especially those from the West.
Those Hu businessmen in the city are all extremely shrewd people."
Dou Jing suddenly realized: "Yes, yes, that's true. Damn Hu Nu, you scared me to death!"
Seeing his son's trembling fear, Dou Decheng sighed deeply: "Well, if my son Dou had some great talents, if you could be like Li Yuanfang, why would I have to do this business with endless troubles?
?”
When Dou Jing heard this, she showed an angry expression: "Aye, am I so unbearable in your heart?"
Dou Decheng thought to himself, but he also knew that he could not damage his son's self-confidence now, so he immediately called out his nickname: "Ayun, remember, you are the fifth-grade prince who washes horses, and now you are the envoy of the internal defense machine. I am here to help you."
With the road you have paved, you have a bright future, and you will be able to be a general and a general in the future, continuing the glory of our Dou family!"
He repeatedly warned: "At this time, we must be calm, not in a hurry, not arrogant or impetuous. As long as I can turn the crisis around this time, the Dou family's position in Guanlong will be completely stable. When the time is right, I will train a few more people."
People, let them also sell cloud pills, such as Doulu Qinwang, oh, by then, the future troubles of this product will be greatly reduced!"
Dou Jing seemed to understand but didn't understand why such a good independent business had to be done with others.
But he has always listened to Dou Decheng's words since he was a child, nodding his head repeatedly: "Yeah, I understand!"
Dou Decheng breathed a sigh of relief: "Go, wait for Li Yuanfang to come back, you can take a closer look at the cloud pills sold in the West Market, and tell Doulu Qinwang what I said to them."
Dou Jing hurriedly said: "Just now they looked at me with extremely vicious eyes and even threatened me!"
Dou Decheng was not surprised: "It's not surprising. Without the supply of cloud pills, their family will definitely be miserable and they will definitely have resentments. But as long as I go out, everything can be undone, everything can be undone!"
Under her father's earnest instruction, Dou Jing regained her confidence, straightened her back, and walked out.
What follows is a long wait.
A morning passed and there was no movement outside.
An afternoon has passed and I haven't come back yet.
When Dou Jing's heart became anxious, the team finally returned.
The leader, Li Yan, was dressed in a scarlet robe, sitting on the lion's horse of the divine horse, and he was extremely eye-catching.
The people following him were also beaming with joy.
In other words, everyone looked happy.
Including Doulu Qinwang and others who were standing aside.
Dou Jing's heart sank.
There is no doubt that this is rewarding.
But when he looked back, he saw that there was no vehicle used to carry the elixir.
This shows that even if cloud pills are found, the number is very small and there is no need to use a car to pull them.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Dou Jing's heart is determined again.
It seems like what my father said is that only sporadic cloud pills are flowing into the market, which will not have any impact on them.
A true addict cannot live without Yun Dan for a day.
Even under Dou Decheng's intentional control, the number of these addicts is not large, and a dozen cloud pills are just a drop in the bucket.
This group of people will soon have to unite around Mr. Dou.
In view of this, Dou Jing walked up with her head held high.
Li Yan was talking to Qiu Shenji and Wang Xiaojie. When he saw Dou Jing coming over, he greeted him: "Dou Jiyi."
Seeing his high spirits, Dou Jing felt unhappy and said with a sneer: "Li Yuanfang, you made such a big splash and led the inner guards out for a day, but it seems that you gained very little. Is this how you wasted your time and failed to live up to the saint's expectations?"
Li Yan glanced at him: "Then what should I do according to Dou Jiyi's words?"
Dou Jing said subconsciously: "Of course it's to interrogate the prisoner!"
Li Yan laughed: "Okay, since Dou Ji is determined to destroy his relatives, then we are going to interrogate the thief Dou!"
"you!"
Dou Jing then realized what she had said and said angrily: "Li Yuanfang, my father is innocent. If you can't prove his crime, you should have reported it to the saint early and let him go!"
Li Yan stopped paying attention to this idiot.
Dou Jing was just a substitute to rush the ducks to the shelves. Dou Decheng was the core. He really wanted to formally interrogate this person. He said to Wang Xiaojie: "Bring the newly obtained evidence with you, let's go to the inner prison!"
At this moment, Doulu Qinwang came over, his tone was completely different from yesterday, and he became extremely polite: "Li Jiyi, we want to watch, please don't worry, there will be no interference, no credit will be taken, we will just watch."
Li Yan nodded slightly: "Okay! Please!"
Doulu Qinwang was overjoyed: "Please!"
Everyone entered the inner prison together.
Li Yan came to Dou Decheng and said, "Master Dou, are you okay?"
Dou Decheng's eyes flickered: "Li Jiyi, do you think I'm in such a miserable state that I'm still fine?"
Li Yandao: "The scholar was poisoned and the saint was furious. Compared with the impact of this case, Master Dou can still be here safely. Isn't he satisfied?"
Dou Decheng looked at the bright-eyed Doulu Qinwang and others next to him, and felt that something was wrong with their eyes, so he looked at Dou Jing again.
Seeing that his son did not give any warning, Dou Decheng was puzzled and could only say perfunctorily: "Yes, thanks to the impartiality of Mr. Cui Ge and all the others, who tried their best to restore the truth, I was able to avoid being unfairly wronged."
Li Yan nodded noncommittally: "To be honest, just before today, I was extremely suspicious of Director Dou, because you resisted arrest and even used private guards' bows and arrows. If you don't have any evil intentions, why do you do this?"
During this period of time, Dou Decheng had already thought about his words and hurriedly said it.
Unexpectedly, Li Yan continued: "But just now, I have cleared up many doubts. Manager Dou, the Yun Dan that poisoned the scholars was not only sold by you, Dou's Chamber of Commerce, and you are no longer the only suspect."
That’s it.”
Dou Decheng's pupils shrank: "Did Li Jiyi discover a large amount of Yun Dan again?"
Under his extremely nervous gaze, Li Yan shook his head: "There are not a lot of cloud pills..."
Dou Decheng's heart suddenly dropped, but he heard again: "It's just a newly refined cloud pill, that's right."
Dou Decheng said in a trembling voice: "What do you mean?"
Li Yanqi said: "It literally means a newly refined elixir. Why is Manager Dou so concerned about the sale of other cloud elixirs?"
Dou Dechen wanted to ask how he could judge that he was a newly trained person, but he couldn't be impatient and could only smile and say: "This is related to my innocence, of course I care!"
Li Yan suddenly said: "Yes, then I will tell you carefully..."
"You should tell me quickly!"
Listening to his unhurried tone, Dou Decheng's heart felt like it was in his throat, but he only dared to roar in his heart, and had to squeeze out a smile that was uglier than crying.
Li Yandao: "The person who provided the information was President Shi of Zuijin Dynasty in Xishi. His wife has also taken Yundan, so she is particularly concerned about this substance..."
"Last night, someone was talking about the miraculous effects of cloud pills in Zui Jinchao. Dr. Jiu heard about it and passed it on to President Shi."
"President Shi wanted to buy medicine for his wife, so he hurriedly took a lot of money to find it. The man actually sold him two pills. He only received 60 gold for two pills. He didn't want to sell more, so he left quickly.
go……"
"Such sneaky behavior made President Shi very suspicious. He understood the justice and reported it to An Wuwei, who was familiar with it. Only then did I know that besides the Dou Chamber of Commerce, there were people on the market who had this kind of cloud pill."
"Preliminary analysis shows that the thief is more likely to poison the scholar than Manager Dou."
Dou Decheng listened carefully.
He knew Shi Siwen and also knew that Hu Shang's wife was indeed a severe addict.
Therefore, the prices sold to this Hu businessman were among the highest.
Two pills worth a hundred gold are really more convenient than robbing.
However, this person's wife is too addicted. It is really impossible to save the pill after she gets it. She is not just stocking up silently and selling it when she sees you...
His sneaky behavior means he is obviously well aware of the medicinal properties of Cloud Pill. From this point of view, is there really someone else selling it?
As for who is more suspicious, he doesn't care, because even if his suspicion is lowered, he will not be let out. On the contrary, this unique business road cannot be replaced now!
Li Yan then gave a general summary of today's arrest. It would be impossible to go into detail about the process:
"The thief's whereabouts were mysterious. We traced them all the way and almost lost the trace several times. Fortunately, in the end, we found clues in Yongyangfang in the south of the city and seized a small amount of evidence..."
Dou Decheng was shocked when he heard about Yongyangfang.
For business, he knew the city of Chang'an very well.
Yongyangfang, in the south corner of the city, specializes in selling funeral objects.
He has been in the industry for so long, and this is the first time he has seen someone carrying goods like this!
Being so cautious is not an opportunity for Hu businessmen to make money, but a new channel.
But Dou Decheng still had luck in his heart: "Li Jiyi, can you show me the seized pills? I might be able to recognize something, identify the real culprit, clear my own grievances, and also make merit for the saint!"
"
Li Yan nodded and called out: "Shenji, bring me a box of cloud pills that I found today!"
Qiu Shenji quickly presented the box.
Different from the exquisite gift boxes of Dou's Chamber of Commerce, this is just an ordinary box.
But when Li Yan put it in front of him, he opened the lid, and a strong and pungent smell of medicine rushed out.
Dou Decheng only took a whiff, and then his vision went dark and the world was spinning.
After a long illness, he became a good doctor. Over the years, he has been dealing with elixirs and has become more and more knowledgeable in this area. He is by no means a layman.
With such a strong medicinal flavor, this is a cloud pill that was refined not long ago, definitely within three days.
And he was imprisoned for more than three days.
This new elixir was not made by them, but a new source of goods came in to seize the market!
It’s over!
He is going to be replaced!!
Dou Decheng, who had warned Dou Jing not long ago to stay calm, thought of the extremely terrible consequences and looked at the sinister eyes of Doulu Qinwang and others not far away. His whole body trembled violently, and he jerked away.
