The next morning, a large group of men and women wearing sackcloth and mourning suddenly came to Xinchangfang. They carried a coffin and came sobbing to the gate of Baoji Hall. Seeing that the situation was not good, the waiter immediately ran to report it.
Lin Yaozu, the proprietor of Baoji, and a group of doctors were all worried. They were most afraid of this kind of medical trouble. They would blame the drugstore if the treatment was not good, and they would make a fuss and cry in the drugstore, insisting on blackmailing a sum of money, otherwise they would lose room and board.
In the drug store, even the government had nothing to do with them.
"Close the door quickly!" proprietor Lin Yaozu shouted.
But it was too late. A dozen young men from the other side had already rushed in and blocked the door with wooden sticks.
"Find everyone!" Helpless, Lin Yaozu could only consider the worst outcome, and he sent people to report to the Wannian County Government Office.
Nearly a hundred people carried a coffin and broke into the lobby. There were forty or fifty young people on the other side. They all had wooden sticks and were eager to smash it. They waited for an order and started smashing it.
"What are you going to do?" Lin Yaozu shouted angrily.
The leader, a middle-aged man, said coldly: "You have treated someone to death, so I won't bother you. I will give you a thousand dollars and we will leave. Otherwise, your pharmacy will not open."
Lin Yaozu suddenly realized that they were in trouble with a professional doctor. The corpse in the coffin had nothing to do with this group of people. They rented the corpse and extorted money. The soft way was to cry in the drug store every day and make you open.
If the store doesn't work, the hard way is to smash the drug store directly.
These young people are probably the gangsters they hired. Most drug stores can't afford to offend them, so they have to spend money to eliminate troubles.
Lin Yaozu had no choice but to cup his hands and said: "At most fifty guan of money, not even a penny more?"
"Do you think we are beggars?"
The middle-aged man became angry and shouted: "Do it!"
Forty or fifty juniors swarmed up and started smashing things in the lobby. Many doctors and clerks couldn't dodge and were beaten with wooden sticks to their heads and blood. Lin Yaozu didn't expect that the other party would come up and smash them. He stamped his feet in panic and shouted.
: "Go and urge the government!"
........
Just as chaos broke out in the lobby, two men in black broke into the backyard of the drug store and found their target. There was a cage of homing pigeons in the yard. The two men in black left quietly without disturbing the pigeons.
At this time, Wannian County Lieutenant came with a large group of government servants. The County Lieutenant shouted: "Everyone stop!"
There was chaos in the lobby, the officials came, and the fighting finally stopped.
The proprietor Lin Yaozu knew the county captain and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Wang County Lieutenant, these people blackmail you when they come in. If they fail to blackmail, they will destroy the shop. Please let the county captain make the decision for the people!"
The middle-aged man at the head also came forward and said: "My brother was only slightly ill. He took their tiger and wolf medicine and died that night. I don't want a penny from them, but I want them to give me an explanation!"
"Nonsense!"
Lin Yaozu was furious, "You asked for a thousand guan to get in, how come there was no blackmail, and besides, I don't even know who the person in your coffin is? You didn't even reason, you smashed it with your hands, and destroyed so many of my medicinal materials.
You must compensate!"
"You're just talking nonsense. When did I ask you for a thousand guans? It was clearly because you had a bad attitude and asked the guys to chase people away, that's why the fight started. It was you who started the fight!"
"Okay! Okay! Stop arguing. Everyone who participated in the fight will go to the county government to make a record. Then, those who deserve compensation will be compensated, and those who deserve an apology will be apologized!"
The two parties identified each other, and some twenty young men were taken away first, followed by seven or eight clerks and five doctors. They were also identified and beat people. Both parties cursed and walked towards the county government office.
At this time, Wang Yue was waiting in the county government office! They found that the two doctors basically lived and ate in the pharmacy, and it was difficult to take them away alone outside, so they thought of this way. After a farce, both doctors
They were taken to the county government office to make a record. In fact, they did not beat anyone at all, but they were identified by the other party. They had no choice but to be taken to the county government office together.
"General, the two doctors are here!" One of his subordinates ran over and said.
In fact, after Wang Yue's men discovered the carrier pigeon in the backyard, Wang Yue could basically conclude that the Baoji Drug Store was Quanzhou Yao Guangping's intelligence agency in Chang'an, and all he had to do was arrest Lin Yaozu.
But after careful consideration, Wang Yue still thought that he should start with the people below. These two doctors were the breakthrough point. Of course, they would not interrogate both doctors. Wang Yue would only choose one.
Wang Yue finally chose Wang Fuzhi. Wang Fuzhi was thin and older, almost sixty years old. Generally, such people are timid and easy to break through.
Not long after, Wang Fuzhi was taken to the inner hall. He was a little confused. Others were taking notes. Why was he brought to the back hall?
"Tell me your name, place of origin, and what you do for a living?" the official above asked.
"My name is Wang Fuzhi. He is from Zhangzhou. He makes a living by practicing medicine. Now he is the sitting physician at Baoji Pharmacy."
"When did you come to Chang'an?" the person above asked again.
"About...three years ago."
"Where have you been before coming to Chang'an?"
Wang Fuzhi shook his head quickly, "I haven't been anywhere. I came directly from Zhangzhou to Chang'an."
The official who interrogated him sneered, "Have you never stayed at Baozhitang in Chengdu?"
"ah!"
Wang Fuzhi trembled all over, and a look of fear suddenly appeared in his eyes.
.........
Lin Yaozu paced anxiously back and forth in front of the county government office. A clerk came to him and told him that Wang Fuzhi had been accused by the other party, saying that he was the culprit of the execution. The county magistrate asked him to provide a hundred thousand coins as a guarantee before Wang Fuzhi could be released.
Lin Yaozu was almost mad. This was not the case at all. A group of professional doctors were making trouble, and the county government took it seriously.
But he had no choice. They were foreigners, not to mention their identities that could not be exposed, so Lin Yaozu had to pinch his nose and give in.
At this time, Wang Fuzhi came out of the county government office with a depressed expression, like a defeated rooster, and the fear in his eyes had not gone away.
Wang Yaozu hurriedly greeted him, "What should I say?"
Wang Fuzhi said with a mournful face: "Proprietor, we have been framed!"
"What do you mean?"
Seeing that the other party was hesitating, Lin Yaozu couldn't help but said anxiously: "Speak quickly!"
"Proprietor, they actually have a prescription written by me. They imitate my handwriting. It is very similar. There is also my seal underneath. The medicine inside is indeed the medicine of tiger and wolf."
Lin Yaozu was stunned. The other party was indeed a professional doctor! He even prepared false evidence.
"How do you respond?"
"I will definitely deny it! That handwriting is clearly not mine. I wrote it to the county magistrate on the spot."
"Then what does the county magistrate say?"
"The county magistrate said that because it involves a murder case, he must investigate carefully. I can guarantee his release, but he requires me not to leave the capital and to go to the county government office at any time."
Wang Fuzhi was about to cry, "Proprietor, what should I do? At such an old age, I am facing a murder case. Proprietor, please help me!"
Lin Yaozu was upset for a while, waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, just spend the money in the worst case! Give them a thousand gu and settle this matter. You go back with me first."
The two got on the bullock cart and returned to the medicine shop. Wang Fuzhi lowered his head and said nothing. In fact, he confessed everything. He knew that if he revealed anything, he would definitely be killed by Lin Yaozu. He was really scared and had no choice but to leave.
One step at a time.
...........
Wang Yue hurried to the Regent's official room. After waiting for a while, a guard came out and said: "Your Highness, please come in, Commander Wang!"
Entering the room, Wang Yue knelt down on one knee and saluted. Guo Song asked with a smile: "This is only the fourth day, and you have found out the clue?"
Wang Yue handed over an interrogation record, "This is a complete interrogation record. Not only did we find the people in Baozhitang, we also found their intelligence points."
"How did you find it? Tell me?" Guo Song asked with great interest.
Wang Yue then described in detail how they found the doctor and came to make trouble. Guo Song immediately praised: "This is a good method. It dug out the cancer without leaving any trace. I will reward him well later!"
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness!"
Guo Song carefully read the interrogation record again. It was of course well organized, clear and unaltered.
It can be seen from the interrogation records that Yao Guangping has two intelligence points in Chang'an, with a total of 45 people. Baojitang is the main intelligence point, and Lin Yaozu is the intelligence chief. There is also an inn in Chongyefang, which is Chengdu Baozhi
It was opened by the shopkeeper and waiter of the restaurant.
"What are you planning to do next?" Guo Song asked.
"I plan to find Lin Yaozu's weaknesses and win him over. It may take some time."
Guo Song nodded, "Then let's take a long-term view!"
