Chapter 48 Eating the Dead
The fact that Daya became a concubine in the Du family still made Shen Yunwan feel sad.
Several months later, one day, before Shen Yunwan arrived at the shop, she saw a group of people standing outside the shop. They didn't look like ordinary customers.
The clerk saw Shen Yunwan from a distance and ran over, "Boss, those people said that we at Kelai'an were selling fake goods!"
"Are you the owner of Kelai'an? I'm going to report you to the government. What kind of skin-beautifying pills are you selling? They're deadly!"
When the man saw that the shopkeeper was a woman, his voice became even louder.
Upon hearing the man's words, the crowd began to get agitated.
Eating dead people is no small matter!
"What nonsense are you talking about! Don't try to blackmail us. Our folks all know about our things!"
The clerk standing behind Shen Yunwan was no longer as flustered as before when he saw the shopkeeper coming.
Shen Yunwan's expression remained unchanged as she looked at him calmly, "You said someone died from eating something in our shop. Why don't you go to the government office and beat the drum to complain and have me thrown in jail?"
Then, Shen Yunwan faced everyone and said, "Everyone, I'm going to make this clear today. If someone dies from taking the beauty pills, I'll trade my life for theirs!
But if someone deliberately smears me, Shen Yunwan, and tries to harm her reputation, I will not let them off easily! "
The crowd gradually died down.
"Someone must be jealous of Ke Lai'an!"
"I've been buying things from Clariant for almost two years and nothing has ever happened."
"You can tell from the look of this guy that he's not a good person."
……
The man was a little panicked.
"Brother, Kelai'an is about to open, just go to the government office and sue me."
Shen Yunwan was calm and composed, thinking that there would be no problem with her skin beautifying pills.
The man said harshly, "Just wait for me!" and then walked away.
As the door opened, no one became suspicious because of this episode.
All the troublemakers have left. Doesn't this further prove that he is guilty?
Only Shen Yunwan, looking at the receding figure, knew that this was just the beginning.
Not long after, the summons from the government office arrived.
At this time, Lin Chengfeng went to find the garrison commander Liu Ze before the officials arrived.
"Aze, the skin beautifying pills will definitely not kill anyone. Haven't you taken them before?" Lin Chengfeng no longer had his usual indifference.
"Brother Chengfeng, I know, but you also know that I am a garrison commander. If the people beat the drum to complain, the government office must accept it."
"But don't worry, I will conduct a fair trial and will not let my sister-in-law suffer injustice. You see..."
Liu Ze pulled at his official uniform.
Lin Chengfeng smiled bitterly, bowed, and turned to leave.
Before leaving the yamen, they saw the police escorting Shen Yunwan over, followed by a group of people.
Some were worried about Shen Yunwan, while others were gloating and watching the fun.
"Yun Wan."
Seeing Lin Chengfeng's worried look, the woman chuckled, "It's okay."
He should have come to see the garrison commander earlier, but judging from his expression, the negotiations must have been unsuccessful.
Shen Yunwan entered the lobby of the yamen, where a plaque with the words "A Clear Mirror Hangs High" was hung. Liu Ze, dressed in official uniform, sat high in the hall, no longer as friendly as before.
Before she could get familiar with the environment in the hall, she saw the eldest brother who was crying out for justice kneeling on the ground, crying and kowtowing.
"My Lord, please help me! My mother became unwell after taking the skin-beautifying pills, and she passed away yesterday! It must have been the pills that caused her death."
"Silence! The government office is not a place for you to mourn. Who is that person in the hall?"
In full view of everyone, Shen Yunwan slowly knelt beside the plaintiff.
Liu Ze, who was high above, looked at the woman who stood straight even when kneeling, and felt inexplicably touched. If it wasn't for...
"Guard, I'm Qiao Mazi, a villager from Shang'an Village. The other day, my mother took a skin-beautifying pill, and soon after, she suddenly felt unbearable abdominal pain."
"A short while later, he vomited blood from the mouth and collapsed, never to wake up again. He passed away yesterday."
"Our family was devastated, and only later did we realize how strange this was."
"How could someone who normally doesn't even have minor illnesses suddenly vomit blood and die? Someone must have harmed her."
"We thought about it and found that apart from taking the beauty pills, there was no other change from before, so we speculated that it was the beauty pills that caused the problem."
Qiao Mazi in the hall explained the whole story in a clear and logical manner, and the onlookers nodded.
Shen Yunwan listened to Qiao Mazi's clear crying and glanced at Liu Ze who was sitting in a high position. He didn't question such an obvious loophole at all.
"They came to Kelai'an to cause trouble based on mere speculation, and even swore it was the skin-beautifying pills that were to blame."
"Sir, I believe the government won't listen to his one-sided story."
Then, she turned to Qiao Mazi and asked, "You said your mother died of vomiting blood after taking the beauty pills the day before yesterday?"
"Your mother isn't the only one who took the skin-beautifying pills. No one else has any problems, only your mother has. Can I also suspect that you are deliberately framing her?"
"Fraudulently accuse you? Would I use my mother's life to frame you?"
Qiao Mazi, who was standing beside her, panicked when he saw Shen Yunwan was calm and composed.
"You're just quibbling. It's clearly the problem with the skin-beautifying pills, yet you're trying to shirk responsibility!"
Shen Yunwan understood what was going on when she saw Qiao Mazi looking furious.
"Well, you said your mother took skin-beautifying pills, so please show me the box of the pills."
Qiao Mazi took out an exquisite wooden box from his chest, which was no different from Kelian's skin-beautifying pill box.
Shen Yunwan, "Can you give me a glass of water?"
Everyone in the hall was a little confused. Seeing the guard nodded, the master took a glass of water and gave it to Shen Yunwan.
Shen Yunwan sprinkled water on the bottom of the box, and the white paper on the bottom was removed, leaving no color.
"These are not the skin-beautifying pills sold by Kelai'an."
If there were no anti-counterfeiting mark on the box, the appearance of the box alone would be no different from the real thing.
When they heard that this was not Kelian's skin-beautifying pills, the crowd started to talk.
"If you say it's not true, then it's not true! What evidence do you have?"
Faced with Qiao Mazi's questioning, everyone turned their attention to Shen Yunwan.
"Go to Kelian now and get a skin-beautifying pill, and you'll know if what I said is true."
Before the guard could send for it, a voice rose from the crowd, "I have one right here, a new one, bought at Kelai'an."
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and found that it was Mr. Meng's wife.
Shen Yunwan took it and sprinkled water on the bottom of the box.
After a while, the number 1186 appeared on the paper at the bottom.
"Everyone, please look, this is the skin-beautifying pill sold by Kelai'an."
When everyone looked at the string of numbers, they believed that the beauty pills actually had anti-counterfeiting marks, and the numbers on each pill were different.
The officer took the box and handed it to the guard. Liu Ze narrowed his eyes, sighed inwardly, and his expression became somewhat complicated.
Such a big article can be found in such a small box.
Qiao Mazi, who was standing by, looked stunned, but he quickly calmed down, "This skin-beautifying pill is your original invention, who knows how you made it.
And you can only prove that this one has a number. The one my mother ate didn't have a number. Maybe you have both in your shop."
