Shengjing Noble

Chapter 338 Seeking wealth and killing people

When it came to reporting to the police, the woman was obviously guilty. She looked around and quickly stood up, pointing at Ye Xi's face and cursing.

"You damn bitch, aren't you afraid of retribution for selling fake medicine? Come and see, this is the woman who sells fake medicine for money and kills people..."

She cried and made a lot of noise so loud that more and more people came to watch.

If this continues, everyone on the street will know that Shan De Tang is selling fake medicine to make money and kill people.

It's easy to spread a rumor, but it's very hard to refute it. This is no joke.

Kang Chenxi also realized the seriousness of the matter and wanted to step forward to speak for Ye Xi, but the woman's voice was too loud and he opened his mouth several times but failed to suppress the other person's volume.

As the saying goes, good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels far and wide. If this farce cannot be stopped in time, I am afraid that in less than an hour, the reputation that Shan De Tang has painstakingly built up over the years will become a joke.

Fu Wuyang looked at Su Lanyin beside him, only to see that she had a calm expression and did not react at all.

So he asked curiously: "Aren't you going to help her?"

After all, she and Ye Xi got along very well these days, so they should be considered good friends.

Su Lanyin leaned against the door frame, with her arms folded across her chest, looking like she was watching a show.

"I can help her temporarily, but I can't help her forever. If she can't even handle a small situation like this, then she is doomed to go no further. It would be a waste of effort for me to help her now."

She is right. If people want to grow, they must have the courage to face difficulties alone and the ability to solve problems independently.

If she hadn't seen the value in Ye Xi, she wouldn't have wasted so much time and energy making medicine for her here.

She is a businesswoman. She has a kind heart, but deep down she still puts profit first.

If it wasn't for bringing the finished medicine business to Shengjing, she wouldn't care about the Ye family's affairs.

After all, no matter what, it is someone else's family affair.

There are people in this world who have chaos in their homes every day, and she can't always take care of every one of them.

The reason why she cared was because she was impressed by Ye Xi's talent and ability in business.

Fu Wuyang nodded in agreement: "Well, what you said makes sense."

Ye Xi looked at the woman who was throwing a tantrum, then at the growing crowd of onlookers, and could not help but sneer.

She didn't act wild like the other party, but turned around and waved to the waiter.

The young man hurried over, came to Ye Xi's side, listened to her whispered instructions, then nodded and slipped out through the crack in the door next to him.

Seeing the waiter leave, Ye Xi thought of going over to check the body covered with white cloth on the shelf.

Because she found that the corpse did not move at all for such a long time, so she guessed that it was either a fake person or a real corpse.

Just as she was about to walk over and lift the white cloth, the woman suddenly screamed and rushed over, knocking her to the ground.

"What are you doing? Don't touch my husband, you evil woman!"

When Ye Xi fell, he deliberately fell forward, supporting himself with his hands. His palms were scratched by the gravel and bleeding.

I thought that she, a weak woman, would be scared and cry, but she didn't.

Without any hesitation, she reached out and tore off the white cloth with her fingertips.

Everyone looked down, was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized.

"Didn't you say a dead person? Why is it a wooden man?"

A passerby standing in the front row shouted in surprise, and others also began to accuse.

"What? I thought he was really poisoned, but I didn't expect he was here to cause trouble!"

"Just now I thought it was real because it was covered with a white cloth. Oh my god, isn't this obviously a scam?"

"This is a fraud. This woman is pretending to be dead with a fake person. She is obviously trying to get money from Shopkeeper Ye!"

……

The woman's lie was easily exposed, and the waiter nearby hurried over to help their boss up.

Ye Xi wiped the dust off his palms and looked at the woman with a cold face: "You just kept saying that our medicine killed your husband, then may I ask, where is your dead husband?"

The woman was obviously panicking, her eyes rolling around, and then she stiffened her neck and argued, "My husband died of poisoning after taking your medicine. His body is at home. I can't run away with him after he's dead."

"Humph, that's ridiculous. You said your husband died of poisoning. If you don't bring him here, how can you prove that he was poisoned? And how can you prove that he died from taking my medicine?"

The woman snorted coldly and took out half a pill from her bosom: "Of course I can prove it! This half is what my husband left over. If you don't believe me, you can test it on the spot!"

Ye Xi nodded: "Okay, let's have someone check it out."

The woman's lips curled up into a triumphant smile, thinking to herself, no matter if anyone died or not, as long as it was proven that this half pill was poisonous, then Ye Xi's business would be completely ruined.

She clapped her hands, and the man behind her carrying the stretcher brought out a wild dog.

The woman pinched off the remaining half of the pill and handed it to the man, who stuffed it into the wild dog's mouth.

The wild dog that was struggling just now suddenly lay on the ground groaning and vomited a large mouthful of blood. Then it twitched and finally stopped breathing.

Seeing a lively dog ​​die in front of their eyes, everyone couldn't help but gasp.

"Oh my god! This medicine is really poisonous! Then why is Mr. Li fine after taking it?"

"We don't know either. Could it be that Master Li is in cahoots with them?"

"Then there were quite a few people buying medicine yesterday, so why didn't I hear of anyone dying?"

"Isn't there a ready-made one here? Maybe others haven't eaten it yet, or maybe it's just a matter of probability."

"Yes, maybe one of the ten pills is poisonous. Whoever takes it will be unlucky."

"Then I dare not gamble with my life, this is too scary!"

……

Seeing that public opinion was on her side, the woman raised her chin proudly.

"What do you think? I told you this is poisonous, right? Everyone, please don't buy it!"

I thought Ye Xi would panic, but she didn't. She just said calmly: "Are you sure you bought that pill from me?"

"Of course." The lady nodded, not yet realizing that something was wrong.

Ye Xi waved his hand and ordered, "Bring our medicine and get a basin of clean water."

A young man came over with a pill in both hands.

After taking it, Ye Xi threw the black pill directly into the basin. After a while, the clear water turned red.

The woman was stunned, her eyes full of surprise.

"This……"

Ye Xi smiled and said, "Sister, since you said you bought the medicine from me, do you dare to throw it into the water and see?"

Su Lanyin told her that in order to prevent forgery, some special things were used to make the pills look black, but they were actually red when soaked in water.

The Ye family father and son didn't know, and "Su Lanyin" was made according to the prescription, so fake medicine would naturally not have this effect.

"I... why should you listen to me?" The woman was visibly panicking and she held the pills tightly and refused to let go.
