"Hurry up and let your boss come out. Don't be a coward!" shouted the middle-aged man who was the leader of the other side.

"Do you think you can see our boss whenever you want? We will report to the police and have you all arrested." Ma Ji shouted.

A tall and strong man on the opposite side sneered, "We've reported it to the authorities, but we don't know who will be arrested. You produced fake drugs, and you will be sentenced if you are caught! Since your boss dares not come out, don't blame us for demolishing Wen Ji. Move..."

Before he could even utter the word "hand", he felt a stone bang on his forehead, and then he heard a clear and majestic voice: "Let's see who dares to tear down my Wen Ji!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the person speaking was a girl of about sixteen or seventeen. The girl was pretty and elegant, but had a pair of sharp and unparalleled eyes.

"Boss, why are you here? We can handle it here. You should go and report to the police." Luo Bin said.

Sister Ruan and the others consciously stood in front of Wen Qingcheng. Wen Zhuo was about to step forward, but was stopped by Wen Qingcheng. He pushed aside a few people and walked forward alone. He glanced at the opposite side and said, "I am the owner of Wen Ji. If you have something to talk to me, you better have something to do. Otherwise, if you bring your weapons into my pharmacy, I will never let you go."

As he spoke, he threw his hand behind him, and the crossbow in the space was taken out. In the sunlight, the arrows on the crossbow flashed coldly.

The middle-aged man who was leading the group took a deep breath and looked at Wen Qingcheng, "Are you the owner of Wen's? You seem quite old, but you have a lot of confidence. Do you have the final say here?"

Wen Qingcheng narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a dangerous light. At this time, more and more villagers gathered outside the gate. From the crowd, a few strong men squeezed out. Wen Qingcheng saw that they were the three brothers of the Ruan family and several young men in the village holding harpoons and farm tools.

Ye Xiuying and Li Hongxiu followed a few people and squeezed in, standing in front of Wen Qingcheng to protect her. Mrs. Ruan said happily: "You are here, someone is looking for trouble with us."

Ruan Dalang shouted loudly: "Don't think that we, the people of Yueya Village, are easy to bully. If you dare to demolish this place, we will fight you to the death!"

After Ruan Dalang finished speaking, several passionate young people echoed him with great momentum.

Ruan Sanlang stood in front of Wen Qingcheng and whispered, "Qingcheng, what's going on?"

"They said we were selling fake medicine." Wen Qingcheng finished talking to Ruan Sanlang, and then said loudly to the person opposite: "Our pharmacy is approved by the Qihuang Patriarch Association in the county, and I am also a pharmacist. You just say that I sell fake medicine. Who instigated you to come here!"

The dozen or so strong men opposite each had angry looks on their faces. The middle-aged man in the lead said, "Even if you have the qualifications to make medicines, I want to ask you, have you conducted five years of trials? Have you taken it to the Qihuang Zushi Association to test its effectiveness? Is it toxic? Do you have a registration certificate? You dare to sell it without anything. I'll arrest you and put you in jail for two years. You will be fined until you lose everything you have!"

Ye Xiuying was frightened when she heard this, but Wen Qingcheng was very calm. She frowned and thought, thinking that what this person said made sense and he must be an insider in the industry. The donkey-hide gelatin she produced had already affected other people's business.

She had studied the pharmaceutical regulations of the Great Qi Dynasty when she took the exam for a junior pharmacist. Her donkey-hide gelatin had indeed not undergone five years of clinical trials, nor had it been tested by the Patriarch Association, and it did not have a registration certificate. If she really did complete all of these, she would not be able to earn a penny in five years.

Many pharmaceutical companies in the Great Qi Dynasty rarely conduct five years of clinical trials on newly developed medicinal materials. As for the registration certificate, they send it to the Patriarch Association. If it is tested to be non-toxic, they can register it by paying money. In the Great Qi Dynasty, the Patriarch Association did not enforce this kind of thing very strictly, so the pharmaceutical industry in the Great Qi Dynasty flourished. However, once something went wrong, they would be involved in a big lawsuit. Not only would the pharmacy be closed and a huge fine be imposed, but the pharmacist would also be banned from making medicine for life.

Wen Qingcheng was thinking about getting all of this done when she finished this batch of orders and applied for the patent, but she didn't expect that someone had already set their sights on her before that.

Wen Zhuo shouted, "Don't talk nonsense. I am acting legally and in compliance with the law. Who are you?"

Wen Qingcheng knew that they were not in the right in this matter, but they had to deal with it carefully and find out the other party's intentions first.

"Don't worry about who I am. Someone ate your donkey-hide gelatin and got poisoned. Otherwise, we wouldn't have come here."

"Poisoned? Who is poisoned? Where is the person involved? What are the symptoms? You want to accuse me without any evidence?" Wen Qingcheng asked three soul-searching questions. The leader opposite him showed anger on his face: "How can you come here when the person is poisoned!"

Wen Zhuo asked: "How do we know if it is poisoning from eating donkey-hide gelatin? What evidence do we have?"

"Don't talk nonsense. We are here today to dismantle your illegal workshop to prevent you from selling fake drugs and harming people."

As soon as these words were spoken, the villagers watching outside were in an uproar, and some villagers who had bought Wen Ji donkey-hide gelatin cakes began to panic.

Those who came to cause trouble shouted, "The medicine sold by Wen Ji is fake. It has no effect at all and can cause illness. If anyone comes with us to ask for compensation today, everyone can get at least 10 taels of silver. If you don't want to come forward to ask for compensation, you won't get a penny!"

Faced with the temptation of money, some villagers could not sit still and even exaggeratedly said: "I wonder why I had diarrhea for the past two days. I didn't eat anything else but her donkey-hide gelatin cake."

"Me too, my daughter-in-law is in confinement after giving birth, and after eating that donkey-hide gelatin cake, she has lost her milk supply."

Aunt Ruan was also in the crowd. Her three sons and two daughters-in-law were confronting each other inside. She was old, so in order not to distract them, she had been waiting outside. When she heard someone was talking about right and wrong, she became furious. She pinched her waist, and her chest heaved violently: "Bullshit! Others don't ask for money from you, and they don't see that you have any problems. You should act according to your conscience. It goes without saying that the Wen family's donkey-hide gelatin is very effective. If it could cause problems, so many wealthy families in the city would ask for it and buy it!"

Everyone looked at Aunt Ruan. The person who had just complained about having diarrhea from eating donkey-hide gelatin said, "You must be speaking for the Wen family. Both of your daughters-in-law are working here, and Sanlang Ruan is almost half a son-in-law of the Wen family. You have gained so much benefit, so you are naturally speaking for them."

"That's right. Didn't you see that they came to our door? If they hadn't gotten sick from eating, would they have come to smash up the pharmacy? Why didn't they go and smash up someone else's house?"

Some people also spoke up for the Wen family, "Don't make trouble. I also bought donkey-hide gelatin cakes. After eating them, my complexion is much better. What do you mean by diarrhea? I don't feel anything. It's just your imagination."

Mrs. Liu also said, "There is no problem with Wen's donkey-hide gelatin. I have worked for her family before and it is very clean. Mrs. Wen has very high requirements for quality. She is also a serious pharmacist."

In the crowd, Xing'er's mother-in-law, Old Lady Tian, ​​said in a veiled tone, "Humph, little Liu, you've been thinking about currying favor with the Wen family all day long, so you're definitely speaking in their favor. I think you're just a drug dealer!"
