Marry another wife, the mistress of the marquisate will not serve you anymore

Jishidiang was thriving after many successes. A long queue formed in front of the door, all of them coming to collect the Purple Gold Pill.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise coming from Shou'an Hall opposite, and the sound of things being smashed. Passers-by all rushed over and stopped to watch the excitement.

Tiancheng was helping to get purple gold pills to the patients. When he heard the noise, he immediately ran to inform his master.

"Miss, something seems to have happened at Shou'an Hall. It's causing quite a stir. Should we go over and take a look?"

Song Wanyin was helping to match medicinal materials at the counter. Recently, Jishidiang had regained its former glory. There was an endless stream of patients coming to see a doctor and get medicine. Even some patients from outside the city came day and night. The shopkeeper and the waiters were simply too busy to handle the work, so she had to help out here herself.

"Shou'an Hall? It seems that Jia Zonglin must have known that this prodigal son of his squandered all the Nine Lives Resurrection Herbs in the family."

When I think about the fact that the Jia family actually used such despicable means to murder Jishidiang, this father and son do not deserve any sympathy.

Song Wanyin put down the work in her hands and took Tiancheng out to find out what was going on.

At this time, there was a huge crowd of people in front of Shou'an Hall. The people all stretched their necks to look, and the streets of Shangjing City were blocked.

Jia Zonglin's face was sallow, and he looked extremely thin and haggard, as if he would fall down if the wind blew. He held a whip tightly in his hand and rebuked him with a look of regret:

"You rebellious son, you have ruined all my life's work. You are clearly trying to take my life.

Today, I will beat you to death, you unfilial son! "

Perhaps it was due to a last burst of energy, Jia Zongli woke up early in the morning and found himself refreshed. He forced himself to go to Shou'an Hall to check on the situation despite his sick body.

But when he just got up from the bed, he saw the bedroom was in a mess and thought that robbers had broken into the house and robbed it.

He hurriedly felt under the corner of the bed, but found it empty. Startled, he ran to the imperial medicine storehouse and was shocked to find that all the Nine-Lives Resurrection Herb stored in his home had been taken out overnight.

Based on the clues left at the scene, he quickly guessed that it was not an outsider, but a domestic thief.

It was like a bolt from the blue, and he almost choked with blood. He rushed to Shou'an Hall without stopping to settle the score with this rebellious son.

Jia Yuanxi dodged left and right, facing his father's whip, unable to bear it any longer, he revealed his true face and angrily retorted:

"You hit me again. Every time something happened, you would beat or scold me first.

I know everything. It was you who instructed Manager Xue to bribe the waiter at Jishidiang and used the little beggar to poison the food. The poison was Mogusha, one of the ten most banned poisons in the dynasty.

In order to compete for Jishidiang's business, you resorted to such despicable means and even deliberately monopolized the Nine Lives Resurrection Grass on the mountains near the capital and developed it into Nanxing Pill, which is actually the antidote.

You even sold it to patients at a high price of one tael of silver per bottle, and all the money you made was from dirty tricks!"

He was not a fool. Two days ago, he had personally caught Shopkeeper Xue and the owners of several other drug stores ordering a table full of fine wine and delicacies at Zuixianlou and whispering about countermeasures.

He knew all the right and wrong, the causes and consequences of this matter.

In order to confirm his guess, he secretly went to Jishidi to see the true appearance of the owner, but he found out that Song Di was a girl.

At this moment, he suddenly realized that he had been just a chess piece from the beginning. He thought he was smart, but in fact he had already become a puppet used by others.

When Jia Yuanxi revealed the truth behind the scenes, there was an uproar at the scene. The people immediately understood the truth and pointed at them and cursed them in anger.

"Bah! I never thought that Shou'an Hall was the mastermind behind the poisoning. You are really the thief crying thief. How shameless!"

"Pay back the money! You must pay it back! I have been deceived by you and bought Nanxing Dan many times in a row. If you don't pay me back, I will report you to the government."

"Your Shou'an Tang is a time-honored medicine shop in Beijing. How could you do such a shameless thing? Doesn't your conscience hurt?"

"It seems that we were really deceived by lard and actually misunderstood Jishidiang. We will personally go to Jishidiang to apologize. It's all your fault. You are the culprit!"

The people became angrier and angrier, and even some vegetable vendors threw a lot of vegetable leaves and eggs at the Jia father and son.

Jia Zongli was so angry that his face twitched. He was hit several times and his head, face, shoulders and chest were covered with vegetable leaves and eggs.

“You, you…cough cough cough…puff!”

He was so angry that he felt all the blood in his body rushing upwards to the top of his head. He suddenly spurted out a large mouthful of blood and fell to the ground unexpectedly.

The onlookers were still angry and continued to throw and smash the things in their hands, cursing the Jia family's ancestors for eighteen generations.

Jia Yuanxi held his head with both hands and dodged left and right, but was still hit hard. When he saw his father fall to the ground, twitching a few times and then motionless, he immediately panicked.

"Father? What's wrong with you? Don't scare me!"

Jia Zongli lay on the ground, his eyes rolled back, his mouth wide open, breath coming in but not out. His chest, which had been heaving violently, gradually calmed down, his head slowly tilted to one side, and he died.

He stared at the sky with his white eyes, looking completely unwilling to close his eyes.

Jia Yuanxi watched helplessly as blood gradually flowed from his seven orifices. He trembled and reached out his hand to feel his breath. He found that he was already dead. He was so frightened that he spoke incoherently:

"Ah! No, no, it's impossible, how could you die, aren't you going to beat me to death?

Get up, don't play dead, if you have the guts, get up and continue beating me!"

Song Wanyin witnessed this scene with her own eyes and felt sad in her heart. Perhaps this was the fate that Jia Zongli deserved for his crimes.

"You have paid a heavy price for your crimes."

At this moment, a dozen followers suddenly came and cleared a path through the crowd, and a tall figure stepped forward.

Xiao Jingheng first glanced at Song Wanyin and nodded slightly, then walked up to Jia Yuanxi and asked:

"Jia Yuanxi, Shopkeeper Xue has been executed, and he confessed that the ink bone sand mixed into the medicinal materials sold to patients in Jishitang was provided by Shou'antang.

You now have only two choices: Confess and be lenient, but spend the rest of your life in prison; resist and be severely punished, but beheaded later. Make your choice."

Jia Yuanxi was completely frightened and cried so hard that his tears and snot ran down his face. He fell to his knees dejectedly and kowtowed repeatedly begging for mercy:

"I confess, I confess, I confess everything. Although I didn't interfere in many things, I have heard my father mention them.

Our Jia family has been forced into a desperate situation, so we are jealous that Jishidiang’s business is more prosperous than ours.

As a result, he believed the instigation and deception of Master Gu Er and Master Gu San. They hated the owner of Jishidiang, who caused the Gu family to decline, so they wanted to take the opportunity to take revenge.

In order to turn things around, the Jia family was forced to become a pawn of the Gu family. All of this ink bone sand was given by the Gu family, and it was they who instigated the Jia family to do this."
