790 The Truth

Hearing Song Qiuyu’s answer, everyone present seemed to be shocked.

No one would have thought that this matter would involve the Zeng Ji medicine Hall.

However, could song Qingyan’s death be related to Zeng Ji medicine shop?

Chen Yuanguan asked sternly, ” song Qiuyu, you said that your miss went to the Zeng family several times before her death. Then why did your young lady go to the Zeng family? ”

!!

Song Qiuyu shook her head, ” every time I accompanied Miss to the Zeng family, Miss would send us away when talking to the Zeng family’s old master. Therefore, I’m not sure!

Chen yuanguan stroked his small beard and frowned. Then, he ordered his subordinates, ” Constable Zhang, bring some men to the Zeng family and invite Zeng Yiming, the head of the Zeng family, to court!

“Yes, my Lord!” Constable Zhang replied immediately.

Immediately, Constable Zhang led his subordinates to the Zeng family’s residence.

Just as they went out, they happened to run into Jiang Zhennan, who was rushing back from outside.

As soon as Jiang Zhennan came back, he stood next to Lin yuelan and exchanged a look with her. Both of them understood each other’s meaning from their eyes and had a tacit understanding.

At that moment, Lin yuelan came forward to report, ” my Lord, if the Zeng family is involved in this matter, they have a reason to frame my Lin medicine Hall!”

Chen Yuanguan’s eyes turned sharp, and he said in a sharp tone, ” Lin yuelan, there’s no evidence to prove that this matter is related to the Zeng family, so please don’t speak nonsense!”

Lin yuelan replied very calmly, ” my Lord, perhaps you don’t know, but the Zeng Ji and Lin Medicine Hall have been enemies since 20 years ago! This time, when the Lin medicine shop reappeared in Qingfeng city, perhaps it felt threatened and wanted to strike first to gain the upper hand!”

Chen yuanguan had only been the magistrate of Qingfeng city for three years, so he was not clear about the enmity between Lin and Zeng medicine shop.

If it weren’t for this incident, he wouldn’t have even thought about the grudges between the Lin and Zeng Family.

However, since this matter concerned someone’s life and the fact that Lin’s medicine hall had been framed for no reason, he had to figure out what kind of grudge there was between Lin’s and Zeng’s medicine hall.

Chen yuanguan asked sternly, ” what happened? Why is this matter related to twenty years ago?”

Lin yuelan continued, ” my Lord, as long as you’re old, you should have an impression of this. Twenty years ago, my grandfather Lin’s medicine shop was the largest medicine shop in Qingfeng city.”

As soon as she said this, some older people immediately echoed, “Indeed. Twenty years ago, Lin’s medicine shop was huge, even bigger than Zeng’s medicine shop now. Moreover, Lin’s medicine shop has been a well-known brand for a hundred years!”

“Sigh, Lin’s medicine Hall was kind back then. They would give the poor free medicine if possible. If they couldn’t, they would charge us the lowest fee. They’ve always been honest with the old and the young. Old master Lin was a very kind person!”

“That’s right. Alas, it’s a pity that he accidentally grabbed the wrong prescription and caused a death. Then, things got out of hand, and Lin’s medicine hall rapidly declined, which led to its bankruptcy and disappearance.”

“I heard that Lin’s medicine shop was later taken over by Zeng’s medicine shop’s successor, Zeng Yiming.”

“Speaking of which, I remember that Lin Deshan, the heir of Lin’s medicine hall, and Zeng’s heir, Zeng Yiming, were good friends. Why didn’t he help Lin’s medicine shop when it was on the decline? why did he hit them when they were down?”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Hehe, you don’t understand! As a businessman, of course, he would do it for his own benefit! Even though Lin Deshan and Zeng Yiming were good friends, they were competitors. Therefore, once Lin deshan falls, who else but Zeng Yiming can gain great benefits?”

“Hmm, what you said makes sense!”

…

The discussion outside gradually pieced together the truth of what happened twenty years ago.

Chen Yuanguan pulled his small beard. His brows were also tightly knitted together as if he was thinking.

Then, Chen Yuanguan said suspiciously, ” Lin yuelan, even if that’s the case, we can’t prove that song Qingyan’s death is related to the Zeng family. We also don’t have any evidence to prove that the Zeng family was the main culprit behind Lin’s medicine shop’s downfall twenty years ago.”

Lin yuelan chuckled mysteriously. “don’t worry, my Lord. The truth will come to light when the old master of the Zeng family comes!”

Chen Yuanguan was even more confused. “Oh, is that so? “
