Ah? Gu Qianfan was kidnapped?

Song Yan was really surprised and asked hurriedly, "Who did it?"

Shu Changyu's eyebrows and eyes were obviously filled with suppressed annoyance: "It was the spy left by that old man who did it."

Song Yan realized instantly that the old thing Shu Changyu was referring to was the late emperor.

"The person is dead, but his ghost is still lingering around." Song Yan was so angry that her teeth were itching.

Then Song Yan thought of something and asked him hurriedly: "Will you be in danger? Will Gu Qianfan expose your secrets?"

Shu Changyu raised the corner of his mouth, as if smiling: "Gu Qianfan is in a state of madness now. Even if they try their best, it will be difficult to pry anything out of him."

What made him upset was that Gu Qianfan was kidnapped right under his nose.

This was undoubtedly a provocation to him.

Gu Qianfan is crazy? Song Yan was shocked.

"Why is he crazy? Wasn't he fine before?"

Shu Changyu said nonchalantly: "Who knows."

No, this plot looks a little familiar.

He looked at Shu Changyu suspiciously: "What on earth have you done to drive people crazy?"

Shu Changyu was calm and composed: "That guy named Gu had something to hide. I just showed up at the right time and questioned him a few times. Who would have thought that he was so unbearable and actually went crazy like this?"

Song Yan looked at Shu Changyu's expression and knew that she couldn't get anything out of him.

"But you did ask some interesting questions." Shu Changyu's lips curled slightly.

"Go on." Song Yan hated being kept in suspense.

Shu Changyu raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Song Yan: "He said he was reborn."

Song Yan was stunned for a moment. That’s it?

Isn't this something we've known for a long time?

Then he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten to tell Shu Changyu that Gu Qianfan was the male protagonist in the imperial examination article.

"What do you know?" Shu Changyu frowned.

Song Yan smiled awkwardly: "Well, actually Gu Qianfan is also the protagonist of the story, but not in your story, but the male protagonist in the imperial examination article."

"Imperial examination essay, with a male lead?" Shu Changyu narrowed his eyes and found it particularly interesting.

"Tell me, how did the man named Gu become the male protagonist of the imperial examination essay?" Shu Changyu asked with interest.

Song Yan told him the story in detail, and they talked until the sun set.

He took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and continued, "Just then, there was a sudden sound of light footsteps outside the door. After Gu Qianfan went out, he saw a figure looming in the afterglow of the setting sun."

"The person slowly approached, and turned out to be a woman with extraordinary temperament. She had a graceful figure and a beautiful face..."

Shu Changyu put the tip of his tongue against the roof of his mouth and asked impatiently, "Who is saying this?"

"Oh, she is Gu Qianfan's second confidante, the daughter of a wealthy businessman in Jiangnan." Song Yan replied.

"Skip this chapter." Shu Changyu raised his lips and said, this guy named Gu hasn't even grown all his hair yet, but he dares to flirt with other girls everywhere. He really overestimates his own abilities.

Song Yan shrugged: "Okay."

It’s okay to skip these love scenes; they don’t affect the plot anyway.

"Then let's continue talking about Gu Qianfan's journey to the imperial examination."

However, there are too many chapters in the later part and it would be difficult to finish them in a short time, so Song Yan decided to focus on the key points.

Even so, Song Yan was so exhausted from talking that she only managed to talk about the imperial examination before going to bed.

The next morning, when Song Yan woke up, Shu Changyu was nowhere to be seen again.

After Song Yan finished his breakfast, he remembered that he had an appointment with Manager Feng to go to the county government office to handle the land deed, so he hurried out.

Song Yan rushed to the county government office, where Manager Feng was already waiting. After the two met, they went together to handle the land deed. The county government office was bustling with people, and the officials were busy.

After a series of tedious procedures, the land deed was finally completed smoothly.

Manager Feng had a gloomy face the whole time. Until the land deed was completed, he asked Song Yan: "Brother Song, you have the land now, do you want to consider buying a farm?"

Song Yan was slightly stunned and asked, "Manager Feng, are you going to sell your master's farm as well? How much is it?"

Manager Feng showed a trace of helplessness on his face and said, "Brother Song, the master's farm is indeed for sale. The price is eight hundred taels of silver."

"You know, our farm has three entrances, which is quite spacious. There are dozens of houses in total. There are also several warehouses in the farm, which are also built with thick wooden boards and can store thousands of tons of grain."

Song Yan couldn't help but feel moved when listening to Manager Feng's description.

But after secretly calculating, he realized that the price was indeed not low, and the money he currently had was far from enough.

He shook his head and said, "Manager Feng, this price is beyond my range, so I won't consider it. However, if there is a chance in the future, I will trouble Manager Feng again."

Manager Feng seemed to have expected this result. He nodded and said, "Yes, the price is indeed not cheap. But if Brother Song is interested in the future, please feel free to come to me. It would be a pity if this farm was bought by someone else."

Song Yan chatted with Manager Feng for a few more words, then said goodbye and left the county government office.

Not long after he walked out of the county government office, he heard a commotion. Looking back, he saw a group of people rushing towards the county government office, talking about something.

It turned out that the case of Gu Ji's herbal medicine shop selling fake medicine was going to be tried in court.

What a coincidence that we caught up?

Song Yan then followed the crowd back to the county government office.

At this time, the outside was already crowded with people who came to watch the fun, and everyone was whispering and talking.

Song Yan squeezed through the crowd with great effort and came to the entrance of the county government hall, stretching her neck to look.

In the lobby of the county government office, Magistrate Lin sat upright with a serious expression.

The owner and his employees of Gu's herbal medicine store knelt trembling in fear in the hall.

County Magistrate Lin slammed the gavel and asked loudly, "Manager of Gu's Herbal Medicine Shop, someone reported that you sold fake medicine in your shop. Do you admit your guilt?"

The shopkeeper of Gu's Herbal Medicine Shop kowtowed immediately and said in a trembling voice, "Your Excellency, please understand. I would never dare to sell fake medicine. Our shop has always been run with integrity and has never had such bad behavior."

County Magistrate Lin frowned and said in a deep voice: "Now there is a witness here, you still dare to quibble? Summon the witness to the court."

Soon, the two old men were brought to the hall.

These two people are the two elders of the Hu family.

Old Man Hu's face was filled with grief and indignation. He pointed at the owner of Gu's Herbal Medicine Shop and said, "Sir, it was the fake medicine sold by this shop that killed my son."

"My son had abdominal pain and went to Gu's Herbal Medicine Shop to get some medicine. After taking a few doses of the medicine, his condition not only did not improve, but it got worse and worse, and he eventually died."

Old Mrs. Hu was also crying beside her: "Sir, please make a decision for us. My poor son is gone, and it's all because of this black-hearted pharmacy."

Then Zhao Jiaping's family was brought to the court.

Zhao Jiaping said angrily, "Sir, a year ago, my brother got a cold and needed treatment. I thought it was just a minor illness, so I went to Gu's Herbal Medicine Shop to get some medicine."

"Who would have thought that after my brother took those medicines, his condition not only did not get better, but became worse. My brother...he was killed by those fake medicines."

After saying this, Zhao Jiaping burst into tears, and his parents were also heartbroken. Their cries echoed in the lobby of the county government, which made people feel pity.

County Magistrate Lin slammed the gavel again: "What else do you have to say?"

The shopkeeper's face turned pale, but he still said stubbornly, "Sir, this must be a misunderstanding. Maybe the person who prepared the medicine got the prescription wrong, or the method of decocting the medicine was wrong. We can't conclude that there is something wrong with the medicine in our shop."

Song Yan clicked his tongue twice, thinking to himself that this shopkeeper really wouldn't cry until he saw the coffin.

County Magistrate Lin frowned and said, "Now that there is evidence, do you still dare to quibble?"

"Someone, present the evidence!"

Soon, the yamen runners presented a pile of physical evidence. Magistrate Lin pointed at the physical evidence and said, "These are all fake drugs found in Gu's herbal medicine shop, as well as drugs purchased by the Hu and Zhao families."

"Summon the coroner to examine the body of Hu's son to determine whether the cause of death is related to the medicine sold at Gu's Herbal Medicine Shop."

The coroner came hurriedly into the room. After paying his respects to Magistrate Lin, he came to the body of the Hu family's son, carefully untied the cloth that wrapped the body, and began to examine it carefully.

As the coroner examined the body, the atmosphere in the hall became extremely heavy. The onlookers held their breath, waiting for the coroner's results.

After a careful examination, the coroner stood up and reported to County Magistrate Lin: "Sir, according to my examination, the cause of death of Hu's son was related to the drugs he took. The drug components remaining in his body are consistent with those sold by Gu's Herbal Medicine Shop."

"The evidence is irrefutable, why don't you plead guilty?"

The shopkeeper was shaking all over at this time, and finally he could not hold on any longer. He collapsed to the ground and admitted the crime of selling fake medicine.

In the end, even the head of the Gu family, Gu Qianfan's biological father, was brought to the court for interrogation.

Song Yan looked at them and felt that they were indeed father and son, as there were some similarities between their eyebrows and eyes.

Mr. Gu stood in the hall. Although he looked solemn, he still had some of the dignity of the former head of the family.

County Magistrate Lin looked at Master Gu and said in a serious tone, "Master Gu, do you know that your herbal medicine shop sells fake medicine?"

Master Gu bowed his head slightly and said, "Sir, I did fail to supervise you before. But I didn't know they dared to sell fake medicine and kill people."

Song Yan curled her lips and said he was not aware of it, but who would believe her?

His son Gu Qianfan has hired someone to kill someone to silence him, but he is still pretending.
