Chapter 143 Tianyan Pavilion was sealed, Zhou Nian'er gave reward
The next morning, the sun just peeked out from the horizon and the dawn was just beginning.
Xiao Huan was extremely anxious and could not wait to rush to the government office. She walked hurriedly, as if there was an invisible force pushing her forward.
Soon, a group of officers and soldiers in official uniforms and armed with weapons rushed towards Tianyan Pavilion like a surging tide. They were aggressive and marched in unison, forming a spectacular landscape.
At this moment, the shopkeeper of Tianyan Pavilion had just opened the shop door and was about to open for business, but was suddenly surrounded by this group of sudden officers and soldiers.
He was terrified, his face turned pale as paper, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably. His hands felt like sifting chaff, and he couldn't even hold the key in his hand, which fell to the ground with a "bang".
"Sir, what are you doing? I abide by the law and have never done anything illegal!" the shopkeeper asked stutteringly, his voice full of fear and confusion.
"Someone has reported that there is something wrong with the rejuvenating powder of your Tianyan Pavilion. Stop talking nonsense and get out of the way!" the leading officer shouted sternly.
If the Zhou family had not come to report it, they might not have mobilized such a large force.
However, the taxes that Mr. Zhou paid to the government office every month accounted for the bulk of the government office's revenue. Therefore, they had to give him this face no matter what.
"What? There's something wrong with the Rejuvenating Powder? How is this possible! It's the golden signboard of our store. All the ladies in Huadu City can't put it down?" The shopkeeper widened his eyes and said in disbelief.
Shopkeeper Yan shouted in astonishment, his voice like thunder, immediately attracting the people at the door.
Originally, early this morning, many servants and maids came to buy the rejuvenating powder.
This shout instantly caused the people queuing at the door to explode.
[Is there a problem with the rejuvenating powder? 】
[That's impossible, they're out of stock]
[No, no, my cousin used the rejuvenating powder, but after she finished using it, her face started to deteriorate. Is there really a problem? ]
[I also discovered that although it does make me more beautiful, I heard that I have to keep using it, otherwise it will rebound]
[That's very weird, there must be something fishy going on. ]
When the officers and soldiers saw that the shopkeeper was so ignorant and dared to defy the government investigation, their faces suddenly darkened.
"What? Are you so stubborn that you don't want to accept my toast? Hurry up and hand over all the rejuvenating powder. We have brought people to check it. If there is no problem, we will naturally clear your name."
Shopkeeper Yan was so frightened that he had to ask someone to take out all the rejuvenating powder.
The chief of the soldiers waved his hand, and an old man carrying a wooden box came in.
"Doctor Mu, please carefully check their rejuvenating powder to see if there is any problem."
"Constable Yun, you dragged me here with all this fuss, just to test this rejuvenating powder?"
Although Doctor Mu's temples were gray, he was still healthy and agile. At this moment, his face was full of displeasure, as if he was very dissatisfied with being called in to check the rejuvenating powder.
He had thought that the government had made such a big fuss because of some matter of life and death, but it turned out to be just a matter of rouge. He couldn't help feeling annoyed, and immediately shook his sleeves, walked into the house angrily, and ignored Constable Yun.
Constable Yun was a little embarrassed, and he touched his nose uncomfortably, secretly complaining in his heart. He had already explained the situation to Doctor Mu, and he would definitely not come.
Although Zhou's maid reported to the police that the rouge was made from a baby's corpse, there was no solid evidence after all. When they went to ask Doctor Mu for help, they naturally could not tell him that this was the case. They only said that there was an urgent matter that required his help.
Doctor Mu was unhappy about being teased, but since he had come here, he couldn't just go back empty-handed, right? That would be a wasted trip.
With no other options, he spread out his tools, picked up a box of rejuvenating powder, poured it all onto a clean cloth, and began to examine it carefully.
He put it to his nose and sniffed it gently, then frowned and fell into deep thought, then put it in his mouth and smacked his lips to taste it, then added some of his homemade potion. In an instant, the white rejuvenating powder turned black like magic.
“This, this…” Doctor Mu’s hand holding the powder trembled constantly, and his face became extremely ugly, like the surface of a lake blown by a hurricane, with waves rising and falling.
He then remembered that he had just tasted the powder. Although the amount was not much, it was enough to make him feel nauseous.
"What's wrong? Doctor Mu, is there a problem?" Seeing Doctor Mu's strange expression and shaking hands, Constable Yun suddenly became suspicious and thought that this might be just as the Zhou family maid said...
"It's not just a problem, it's a big problem!" Doctor Mu glared at Constable Yunli unhappily, secretly angry in his heart. He said it, how could this government office let him help so easily. They must know the situation, but they didn't tell him, it was really infuriating!
Shopkeeper Yan's heart skipped a beat, as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer, and he suddenly felt that the matter was beyond his control.
"Doctor Mu, what do you mean? What's the problem with our Rejuvenating Powder?"
He felt that he could still struggle, after all, he really didn't know what was going on.
"What do you mean? Of course, you guys added something that shouldn't be added to Laozi Rouge, powdered baby meat, do you understand?"
Doctor Mu is now using the rejuvenating powder, and now he is quite dissatisfied with the shopkeeper. Why is this damn Tianyan Pavilion not called Tian Yaokai?
Selling rouge made from human flesh is really a daredevil.
"How is this possible? Didn't our boss say this?"
At this moment, Shopkeeper Yan was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his back, as if he was going to faint in the next second.
Then, his master's words suddenly emerged in his mind. Thinking of the extremely precious and difficult-to-make Rejuvenating Powder and the rare materials in it, he couldn't help but feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and his whole body was cold.
He cursed in his heart, how unlucky he was! He thought he was lucky to be the shopkeeper, but now it seems that people probably thought he was stupid and easy to fool.
"Sir, I really don't know anything about this matter! I was just hired by this boss to manage the shop a year ago. You must believe me, I really know nothing!"
Shopkeeper Yan knelt down with a plop, as smoothly as a loach, without any trace of complacency on his face.
"Come here, seal up Tianyan Pavilion immediately and bring all the people in the shop back to the government office!" Constable Yun gave an order and the room was instantly filled with people.
There were only six people in the entire Tianyan Pavilion. The clerk and the shopkeeper were all dragged away.
This incident made Lord Feng, the prefect of Huadu City, extremely angry. He immediately ordered that the case must be investigated within three days.
Constable Yun aggressively asked Shopkeeper Yan about his boss's situation, but Shopkeeper Yan was clueless. He only knew that his boss would appear in Tianyan Pavilion every month wearing a mask, and he had never seen his boss's true face.
He always thought that Dongjia wore a mask because he was too ugly or was an important person. Now he thought that Dongjia was afraid of exposing his identity.
Oh, it was just one careless move that caused me to lose everything. I regret it so much!
