The princess is farming with her baby, daddy, come find me soon

Gu Manzhu whispered a few words to Xiao Chu who had returned to her side.

He nodded and stood further away, then quietly left the lobby when no one was paying attention.

Gu Manzhu no longer paid attention to the old woman rolling on the ground and sat down on a chair beside her.

Seeing that no one paid attention to her, the old woman gritted her teeth, suddenly got up and rushed towards Gu Manzhu.

She moved so fast that it didn't seem like an old woman in her fifties. She reached Gu Manzhu in just a few steps and stretched out her withered and wrinkled hand to push her.

At the critical moment, Ying, who was standing nearby surrounding the drugstore, stretched out his left foot and kicked the old woman far away, but he used less force, causing her to lie on the ground without any injury.

Gu Manzhu looked at her coldly, she was really asking for death.

The yamen arrived quite quickly.

The old woman was kicked to the ground and never got up again. The soldiers came in and carried her directly to the yamen.

Gu Manzhu and others were also taken to the yamen.

The shopkeeper's face was ashen and he didn't notice the nervous look on his apprentice's face.

In the court, the county magistrate sat at the top, looking at the people below with a serious expression.

"What's the grievance?"

The old woman's cloudy eyes rolled and she began to cry and complain to the sky.

The county magistrate listened for a long time, his brows furrowed more and more as he listened, and he banged the gavel.

The old woman fell silent instantly.

The county magistrate turned his gaze to the shopkeeper and Gu Manzhu and asked in a righteous tone.

"What do you want to say?"

The shopkeeper stepped forward and explained in detail the process of collecting the herbs, checking them, and prescribing the medicine.

The county magistrate listened and said with a serious face, "Are you saying that it has nothing to do with your pharmacy?"

The shopkeeper was shocked and knelt down immediately: "What I said is indeed the truth, please examine it wisely!"

"What about you?" asked Gu Manzhu.

Gu Manzhu bowed.

"My Lord, evidence is required for everything, let alone solving a case. Isn't it too hasty for you to solve the case based on the one-sided words of an old woman?"

Seeing that the county magistrate was not angry, Gu Manzhu continued.

"Let the old woman produce evidence to prove that the medicine her husband drank was bought from the shopkeeper's medicine shop. Also, produce evidence to prove that the medicine was purchased from me!"

"Snapped!"

"Old woman, did you hear that?"

The old woman looked around in panic, and suddenly looked at the apprentice next to the shopkeeper and said.

"It's him! He got the medicine! He knows!"

Da Chong was stared at by several pairs of eyes, especially his master, and cold sweat began to appear on his forehead.

With a plop, he fell to his knees on the ground.

He swallowed hard and said, "I did get the medicine. It was indeed the batch of herbs I bought from Mr. Gu."

The shopkeeper's eyes widened instantly, staring at him intently, gritting his teeth: "Da Chong, do you know what you are saying?"

The larger the punch, the lower it is.

"The disciple is telling the truth."

"Okay, now what do you have to say?" the county magistrate said coldly.

"Your Excellency, I have something to say." Gu Manzhu spoke.

"Human evidence is no match for physical evidence. Why don't you have someone search the medicine shop for herbs?"

When the old woman heard this, she refused to do it.

"The person has admitted it, why are you still searching the pharmacy? Are you trying to get away with it?"

"Shut up, I have my own judgment. Come, search the pharmacy."

"Yes!"

Da Chong, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly felt his legs go weak. He wanted to stop it but had no reason to.

It's over, it's over.

After a while, the bailiff who went to search came back with a package.

When Da Chong saw the package, he wanted to rush forward to snatch it back, but as soon as he stood up, he was held down by the yamen runners nearby.

The shopkeeper was confused when he saw this scene and felt a chill in his heart.

The magistrate ordered the package to be opened.

Inside were some moldy medicinal herbs and a few silver bills.

When the old woman saw the moldy herbs, she started to yell, "Yes, it is this herb! Why don't you admit it?"

"This item was found in Da Chong's room in the pharmacy. Da Chong, what do you have to say?" asked the county magistrate.

Da Chong began to tremble all over and didn't dare to look at the shopkeeper next to him.

The shopkeeper said with a heartbroken look, "Mr. Gu, I have no grudge against you, and I treat you well. Why did you do this?"

Da Chong hesitated.

Gu Manzhu added slowly.

"The people who order you around won't care whether you live or die."

Da Chong's psychological defenses completely collapsed.

"I'm telling you, it was a man with triangular eyes who came to me and asked me to change the herbs. He wanted to teach Master Gu a lesson!"

The county magistrate's frown deepened.

"Do you know who that man is?"

Da Chong shook his head in panic: "I don't know, I just know that he often hangs around the medicine shop, and those banknotes were given to me by him."

"Come here, take him back to the pharmacy and see if you can find the man. Also, check which bank the banknote came from."

"Yes!"

The man with triangular eyes kept looking around the drugstore to see what was going on.

He was hiding in the corner when he was bumped into by Da Chong who was being escorted by the yamen runners.

Da Chong pointed at him and shouted, "It's him, that's him!"

The man with triangular eyes' eyelids jumped and he ran away subconsciously when he heard the shouting.

But how could he possibly outrun the bailiffs? He was caught immediately.

The triangular-eyed man who was pinned to the ground shouted in panic: "What are you doing? Why are you arresting me? I'm going to report you to the police!"

The bailiff who was escorting him had a look of disdain on his face.

"Go ahead! We are sent by the county magistrate to arrest you!"

The man with the triangular eyes began to beg for mercy, "Brothers, I have never committed any crime. Please spare my life!"

"It's not up to you to decide whether he has committed a crime or not. Take him away!"

The bailiffs escorted him back to the yamen in a mighty procession.

The man with triangular eyes was forced to kneel on the ground. He looked up and saw the county magistrate sitting above him.

He fell to the ground and trembled. How could an ordinary citizen like him have ever seen such a scene? He was just a little arrogant on weekdays.

The county magistrate looked at the man with triangular eyes and asked, "What's your name? Do you admit your guilt?"

"My name is Wang Fugui. I am a commoner and I know no crime."

There is no evidence to prove that he committed the crime, so as long as he doesn't plead guilty, he will be fine.

Da Chong, who was kneeling beside him, narrowed his eyes and turned his head to shout, "You don't know? It was you who gave me the banknotes and those moldy herbs and asked me to frame Mr. Gu. You don't admit it?"

Wang Fugui began to howl like a ghost.

"My Lord, I really don't know what happened. I don't even know him. Please make the decision for me!"

The shopkeeper looked at Gu Manzhu anxiously. What should we do? There is nothing we can do if people don't admit it.

Gu Manzhu ignored him and refused to admit it? That was because he was not scared enough!

Da Chong and Wang Fugui were arguing fiercely.

The county magistrate felt a headache after hearing this.

Just as he was about to give the order, the bailiff who went to check the banknotes came back.

"Report to the Lord, the silver shop has verified that it was the landlord Zhu from the Zhu Mansion in the town who took out the silver note."

When Wang Fugui heard this, he shuddered and the ground was wet.

Gu Manzhu frowned in disgust. Landlord Zhu! His ghost is still lingering!

The county magistrate directly ordered someone to bring the landlord Zhu over.

Landlord Zhu was happily waiting for news at home, but he didn't expect that soldiers would break in and take him directly to the court.

Looking at the people standing and kneeling in the court, there was nothing that Landlord Zhu didn't understand. This idiot couldn't even handle such a small matter!

"Zhu Biao, what do you want to say?"

Gu Manzhu was surprised. Pig fat? Looking at the fat body of Zhu the Landlord, he really lived up to his name.

"I don't know what happened. I hope you can clear my name!"

"Why is the banknote you took out here?"

"I don't know either. Someone touched my wallet on the street a while ago. I'm sure someone took the money and did something with it. Your Excellency, please understand!" After saying that, he stared at Wang Fugui.

The county magistrate looked at Wang Fugui, "Wang Fugui, what do you have to say?"

Wang Fugui lowered his head tightly. What could he say? His arms were no match for his thighs.

"I, the people, plead guilty."

"Come here, take him away and punish him according to our country's laws!"

The bailiff stepped forward and dragged away Wang Fugui, who was lying on the ground.
