Chapter 41: condition

　　 "Open the door, open the door."
　　 "We are the county officials handling the case! The people inside should open the door!" The rough voice seemed a little impatient.
　　 "Damn the black heart... Sell us fake medicine... Eat the dead... Pay your life..." The women's cries were mixed in it.
　　 The movement of the dark night was particularly noticeable. When people came out on the street to inquire, I saw the shopkeeper Zhou being escorted away by several officials, the guys in the drugstore running around, and Zhou Liniang's crying pear flower was raining.
　　 "What's wrong? What happened?" People asked.
　　 "I heard that it was selling fake drugs to kill people..." a well-informed person said, pointing to a few men and women who followed the official posts with sackcloth and filial piety.
　　 After the news spread, the discussion on the street became more lively, some believed and some did not.
　　 "It's not just that there are pharmacies selling fake medicines. Other pharmacies can sell them. Naturally they can also sell them in Qianjintang. What's so strange!"
　　 "No, no, that pharmacy does not sell fake medicines, here, the little lady from the Gu family is back..."
　　 "Is that blackmail?"
　　 "Hey, isn't that the little lady of the Gu family, just ask her..."
Gu Shiba Niang wrapped in a thin cloak and stood in the dark on the corner of the street. She was still seen by someone unexpectedly, and she smiled when she heard the question: "That drug store is not selling fake medicines. Someone deliberately blackmailed it. It has been found out by the government. Convicted."
　　 "Oh, the shopkeeper that week might have been blackmailed."
　　 Gu Shiba Niang was hidden in the night, with a smile on her face.
　　 "Eighteen Niangs, Eighteen Niangs..." Cao's call came from the alley.
　　 Gu Shiba Niang answered, looked at the brightly lit Qianjintang, turned around and walked away, the night wind whirled past the alley and rolled up the corners of her clothes.
　　 Zhou shopkeeper, I wish you good luck.
　　 The shopkeeper Zhou was out of luck this time. At noon the next day, the seal of the county government was put on the door of Qianjintang, and the staff in the drugstore was also taken away for questioning.
　　 I heard that it was Mr. Dong and the two doctors who personally verified that the medicine that the shopkeeper Zhou bought to the patient was a fake medicine, and there are still a lot of them in the Qianjintang.
　　 Master Dong was speaking at the medicine store, and that was a golden mouth. No one doubted that the treasurer Zhou was blackmailed.
　　 At the same time, Peng Yizhen sent a young man to invite Gu Shiba Niang to the county office cell, saying that treasurer Zhou had something to say, if it is convenient to listen.
　　 Cao naturally disagrees with her daughter going to such a place.
　　 Gu Shiba Niang thought for a while, there are some things she doesn't intend to hide from Cao, for example, she and shopkeeper Zhou buy medicine at the same medicine stall, and some things must be kept secret, for example, she has long recognized those fake medicines.
　　 "Xu wants me to testify that those are not fake drugs." Gu Shiba Niang smiled.
　　 Cao nodded, only a little relieved, "Then you go, just say whatever it is."
It’s not the first time for Gu Shiba-niang to come to a place like the county’s prison. In that lifetime, her mother was buried shortly before her elder brother was imprisoned. She seemed to be the only one left between the world and the earth. She was helpless. Squatting in front of the cell and crying for two days and two nights...
　　 She stretched out her hand to support the cell door and closed her eyes.
　　 "Little Lady Gu, this place is not used to it..." The young man who brought her noticed her gaffe and asked in a low voice.
　　 No one would get used to this kind of place. Gu Shiba Niang smiled upon hearing this, and followed him.
　　 "... Shopkeeper Peng talked to Shopkeeper Zhou, and suddenly said that he would invite you..." The young man said in a low voice again and apologetically, "It's really good to let the little lady come to this place..."
　　 Across the cell door, shopkeeper Zhou and Peng sat opposite each other. The expressions of the two could not be seen in the dark room, and the sound of footsteps made them both turn their heads to look.
　　 "Little Lady Gu is here." Peng Yizhen stood up and said.
　　 Gu Shiba Niang nodded, before she had time to speak, she heard the shopkeeper Zhou inside sneer.
　　 Peng shot the young man and waved his hand. The young man immediately retreated. The people in Xianren County are well-established and Anping is under rule. There is only one suspect in the cell, the treasurer Zhou.
　　 "Gu Xiaomao, hello, good means!" The shopkeeper Zhou said coldly.
　　 Gu Shiba Niang walked a few steps closer and looked at the shopkeeper Zhou, who was sitting on the floor in a prison cell with unkempt hair and wearing prison clothes. He didn't see him overnight. He looked very embarrassed.
　　 "Treasurer Zhou, is it interesting to be arguing at this time?" Gu Shiba Niang smiled and said lightly, and did not sneer at what he said.
　　 "Sure enough, you knew...you deliberately let me buy fake medicine, it's you, it's you..." Shopkeeper Zhou suddenly stood up from the ground and shouted in a low voice.
　　 Peng grunted and sat on the bench without moving.
"Treasurer Zhou’s words are interesting, because when you buy medicines at the same drug stall, if you buy the fake ones, I should also buy the fake ones? If not, I framed you? Shopkeeper Zhou, the medicine will be available that day There are thousands of people who bought the medicine. Is it unfair to say that I framed you?" Gu Shiba Niang said lightly.
　　 Peng Yizhen laughed aside, "Yes, treasurer Zhou, what you said is really crazy."
　　 The shopkeeper Zhou had a dark complexion, grabbed the cell post, and said bitterly: "Peng Yizhen, you don't pretend to be crazy and stupid here, everyone knows what the matter is! You knew this was a fake medicine!"
"Treasurer Zhou, since you know it in your heart, it's better to tell the county master that I was originally my Gu Shiba Niang who wanted to sell Qin skins and was accidentally snatched by you, so this fake medicine is my crime. "Gu Shiba Niang said slowly, smiling, and looking at Shopkeeper Zhou, "But I really don't understand. If I know that it is a fake medicine, why should I buy it?"
　　 "Because you want me to buy it!" The shopkeeper Zhou shouted with a slap on the doorpost.
　　 This is indeed the case, but it sounds logically confusing and unreasonable to anyone, and Peng Yizhen laughed.
　　 "Look at the shopkeeper Zhou, you are really crazy! Why does the little lady Gu want you to buy it?" he asked, clapping his legs.
　　 The cell suddenly calmed down. Shopkeeper Zhou's gaze swept over the two people in front of him, and finally fell on Gu Shiba Niang's face. In the dark and unclear cell, the girl's thin face was somewhat pitying and mocking.
"Shopkeeper Zhou, why do I want you to buy fake medicine? Do I have any grudges with you?" Gu Shiba Niang looked at him with a smile on her face, but there was no slight smile in her eyes~EbookFREE.me~ slowly "You didn't hurt my heart, so why should I hurt you? Shopkeeper Zhou, are you right?"
she knows! She knew it from the beginning? How can this be?
　　 The shopkeeper Zhou clutched the prison post, his face was incredibly and at a loss.
　　 How did things become like this? This is obviously a desolate young lady who doesn't go out of the door and doesn't know the world. How could this happen? How could I hold her hand again and again?
　　 This is impossible, this is impossible, this is not true, this must be my dream.
　　 The shopkeeper Zhou suddenly hit the doorpost with his head, and blood flowed down his forehead.
　　 By the way, it must have nothing to do with her, this is all the ghost idea that Peng Yizhen came up with!
　　 "My surname is Peng!" The shopkeeper Zhou stretched out his hand and wiped the blood, and looked at Peng Yizhen viciously, "I admit it, what do you want?"
　　 Peng Yipin closed his face with a frenzied smile. He slowly stood up and watched the treasurer Zhou stretch out his hand, "Except for the lives of you and your daughter, everything else belongs to me."
　　 The shopkeeper Zhou was first stunned and then furious, and then laughed in anger, "Peng, you are crazy..."
"Well, then do you want me to tell the county master that I bought Ophiopogon japonicus at that medicine stall, or do you mean that I actually bought fake Polygalaceae and we were all caught by the drug dealer?" Peng Yizhen Said.
　　 "Go you, just say what you want, you think it will kill me..." The shopkeeper Zhou said angrily.
　　 "What if I want to kill you?" Peng interrupted him coldly.
