All Hail Cousin Brother

Chapter 914: Not Guilty

Ye Xiaoci made a statement on the bezoar issue: "It has been proven that the bezoars existing in Jimintang are camel bezoars from the Western Regions and do not have the same effects as bezoars. So Liu Dagen died after taking Jimintang bezoars. , it is not established.”

There was another uproar in the venue. No one expected that the case would take such a turn.

Some people even clamored that the government and Princess Shaoyi were colluding to protect the Bai Mansion.

But these words are empty and unfounded. Compared with the various witness and material evidences just issued by the state government's Yamen, they are really unconvincing. Moreover, You Jun was also involved in Liu Dagen's case. The two military doctors in the hall have already Explained everything.

After Ye Xiaoci asked everyone to be silent, he added: "It is an indisputable fact that the bezoar in Jimin Hall is fake, but it is also true that Jimin Hall sells inferior medicinal materials, and Liu Dagen is indeed responsible for taking the poison from Jimin Hall. The drug he caught caused death, so it cannot be concluded that Jimintang has nothing to do with this case."

Next, the prefecture's Yamen ordered people to show Zhang's original prescription, fetched the medicinal materials used in the prescription that had been seized from Jimin Hall, and publicly showed the inventory from Jimin Hall. Confirm that the medicinal materials are from the same batch, and order several doctors to conduct inspections. Are there any factors that could lead to death due to poor quality?

The results were unsurprising.

"The medicinal materials used in the prescriptions are all ordinary medicinal materials. There is no improper use of the medicines in the prescription. Moreover, most people have misunderstandings and believe that inferior medicinal materials have no medicinal effect. In fact, this is not the case. inferior medicinal materials are not as good as superior medicinal materials. , but it also has certain medicinal properties. As long as it is used properly, it is also a life-saving medicine. After testing, the inferior medicinal materials in Jimintang have the same curative effect."

At this point, the people were completely speechless.

After calming down, Liu Dagen's death had nothing to do with Jimintang. The people were no longer so hostile to Baifu. After discovering that inferior medicinal materials also had certain effects, they complained that Baifu "used inferior medicinal materials to make a lot of unjust money". The anger of "Cai" has gradually calmed down a lot. In any case, it is a fact that the price of medicinal materials in the north is relatively high, which makes many people unable to afford the medicine.

At this point, the case has once again reached a deadlock.

The criminal chamber made a verdict, and Ye Xiaoci announced: "...This issue declares that the plaintiff Zhang sued Jimin Tang and the owner behind it. Her husband Liu Dagen died due to improper use of medicine. Jimin Tang and the owner Baifu were found innocent. crime."

The Bai family couple cried with joy, knelt on the ground, and kept kowtowing to express gratitude.

Zhang collapsed on the ground, tears streaming down her face for a while.

The people were confused again. Liu Dagen apparently died of bezoar. Since the bezoar in Jimintang was fake, who killed Liu Dagen?

Ye Xiaoci also said: "There are still many doubts about the cause of Liu Dagen's death. This court will continue to investigate and collect evidence until the truth comes to light. We will give Liu Dagen justice, follow the law, and urge everyone present to actively provide evidence related to the case... "

As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Bai, who had been crying with joy just now, gritted his teeth and his heart skipped a beat: "Sir, I have evidence to provide. I want to sue Han Mansion in Xi'an and frame Bai Mansion at the expense of human life."

As soon as these words came out, the audience was even more embarrassed.

Ye Xiaoci also knew that this matter was not a trivial matter. His expression suddenly changed and he said sternly: "Do you have evidence for what you said? If there is no evidence, anyone who talks nonsense is slander and slander and should be punished with thirty imperial rods..."

Mr. Bai was unafraid and raised his voice: "Your Excellency, the evidence is in the private citizen's home. You can go to the private citizen's home to collect the evidence at any time."

Ye Xiaoci immediately sent a government officer to come forward, privately inquired about the location of the evidence, and then ordered people to go to Bai Mansion to collect the evidence.

At this time, some of the noble informants among the crowd noticed something was wrong, and they all lost their composure.

When arranging Liu Dagen's death earlier, it was also confirmed that there was bezoar in Jimin Hall. As long as they did it watertight, after the incident, with the cooperation of the yamen and "irrefutable evidence", they would be used as a dealer to sell inferior medicinal materials. In the public hall, no one can argue.

I never expected that the bezoar sold by Jimintang was actually fake.

It is obvious that Jimintang was wrongly accused and framed.

Mr. Bai was still speaking impassionedly: "The Han clan controls all the medicinal materials business in the northern region. This is a fact that is obvious to all. I believe everyone present knows how His Royal Highness King Zhou Li died. "

When the death of King Zhou Li was mentioned, everyone present felt sad.

"In order to make huge profits, the nobles, together with the local medicinal dealers, raised the price of medicines. As a result, the You army was injured on the battlefield and had no medicine to use. The people were sick and could not afford medicine. Although the Baifu sold inferior medicines to make ill-gotten gains. , but Jimintang also allows poor people to afford medicine. Aren’t all of you here buying medicine from Jimintang because you can’t afford it because the herbal medicine business is controlled by the gentry?”

With these words of Master Bai, he turned his unjust actions into benevolence and righteousness, which made many people present unbelievable.

Mr. Bai patted his chest and said: "There are good and inferior medicinal materials, and Jimin Hall is right there. Bai Mansion is not afraid of anyone's inspection, confirmation and affirmation. All the inferior medicinal materials sold in the drug store have certain qualities." The medicinal properties of the medicine are not used to fool the people with those fake and inferior medicinal materials."

These words were said in court, in the Yamen of the state capital, in front of Master Ye and many people present, and they seemed particularly weighty.

The people were a little moved.

It is true that many people present have used the medicinal materials of Jimintang, and it is true that they can cure diseases.

As for the fake bezoars, several doctors have also expressed that bezoars are precious and rare, and it is difficult to distinguish between genuine and fake bezoars. Even many large pharmacies often fall into this trap, so they are exceptions.

The government has just confirmed that the dozen or so herbs in Liu Dagen's prescription are indeed effective in curing the disease, and the medicines commonly used by ordinary people are indeed all for minor ailments of wind and cold. These herbs are effective and very effective. To a large extent, it means that Jimin Hall does still have a conscience.

It has to be said that as a businessman, Mr. Bai really understands the psychology of customers. He does not avoid the important and ignore the light in every word, showing that a businessman should have the "responsibility" of management.

Mr. Bai then said: "Prince Shaoyi is going to Longfeng Temple to offer incense, pray for the victims, and pray that the epidemic will not come. Who among these noble people from the capital doesn't want to admire the noble lady's demeanor? The princess is gentle and generous in her treatment of others. My wife was really inspired by the princess. After listening to Master Huiji from the Six Wisdom Monks of Baoning Temple, she had an enlightenment and came back to discuss with me. We must follow Yi to do good.”
