Chapter 937 Proving one's innocence

"Baicaotang..."

After hearing about Baicaotang, Xu Hei couldn't help but think of an incident last year.

At that time, Shenzhou Danlou had just opened and business was booming. Zheng Hai, the chief alchemist of Baicaotang, knelt down outside the alchemy building and begged him, hoping that Xu Hei, as a law enforcer, would take action to clear away the grievances of Baicaotang and seek justice.

Maybe Xu Hei had just taken a vacation and hadn't solved his own problems, so how could he care about others?

Xu Hei refused directly.

"Thank you, Elder Linghu. It just so happens that I can observe and learn a thing or two." Xu Hei said.

…………

Baicaotang, one of the two alchemy giants in Dongcheng District.

For a long time, Baicaotang and Danbao Pavilion each occupied half of the market, and no one lost.

But since Gu Hua joined Danbao Pavilion and launched the latest Tenglong Dan, Baicaotang has fallen into a disadvantage. In addition, there has been an incident of poisoning people to death, which has greatly affected its reputation.

Within a year, Baicaotang was in dire straits, with customer traffic dropping by 80%.

The supporters behind him ran away early, the victims came to make trouble, and the law enforcers came to create difficulties again and again, making Baicaotang miserable.

Recently, there has been a large-scale poisoning incident among the customers of Baicaotang. The victims' relatives came to fight and killed several guards on the spot. The hall owner was also injured and threatened to bring the alchemist to justice. Law.

This matter was immediately pushed to the forefront.

When Xu Hei and Linghu Shanshui arrived, Baicao Hall was already filled with people.

There were several corpses lying on the ground, and blood was everywhere, all caused by the riot just now.

"Baicaotang kills people with grass and pays for it with blood!"

"Baicaotang has released a poison pill to harm people, get out of Nanhuang City!"

"Zheng Hai, come out and apologize!"

Various slogans resounded in the lobby. The counter on the first floor was smashed into a mess. There were traces of smashing, looting and burning everywhere.

There were a lot of people watching the fun in the distance, pointing and talking about it.

"quiet!"

Linghu Shanshui shouted loudly.

The commotion in the lobby immediately stopped. Everyone looked here and were overjoyed when they saw it was Linghu Shanshui.

"The law enforcement elder is here!"

"Haha, the law enforcers are finally here, and Baicaotang will finally be made to pay the price!"

"Elder Linghu, you have to make the decision for us! My disciple bought the elixir from Baicaotang and was poisoned and became a useless person!"

Some cheered, some denounced, some cried, some were indignant, and some gloated.

Various sounds filled the eardrums, making Xu Hei frown slightly.

Linghu Shanshui shouted again, and everyone became quiet.

Linghu Shanshui already knew what happened when he was in the Law Enforcement Hall. When he saw it today, it was not much different from the rumors.

"Where is the hall master?" Linghu Shanshui asked.

Behind the lobby, the door opened, and a haggard-looking woman came out. This woman was middle-aged, pale, and still had blood stains on her body. Her clothes were made of expensive materials and were in tatters, and her delicate makeup could be vaguely seen.

The graceful and noble temperament is gone, and he looks like a down-and-out nobleman who has gone through hardships.

However, she still looked decent, walked closer, cupped her fists and said, "Ru Yin, the master of Baicao Hall, has met two law enforcement elders!"

Xu Hei took a step back involuntarily. He was just here to observe, and this matter had nothing to do with him.

"Are the accusations above true?"

Linghu Shanshui took out a large handful of jade slips and gathered them into a dense mass of words, which were arranged in mid-air.

Ru Yin shook her head and said, "It's all slander."

"Slander? Just one person, so many of us, are we all slandering you?"

"Other people's elixirs are fine, but yours is poisonous, and you still dare to quibble!"

The crowd in the lobby was furious, pointing at Ru Yin's face and scolding her, and even worse, they took out magic weapons and launched an attack.

But it was blocked by Linghu Shanshui.

Later, Linghu Shanshui took out a lot of pills, all of which were problematic poisonous pills.

"Are these poisonous elixirs produced by Baicaotang?" Linghu Shanshui asked.

"No!" Ru Yin shook her head firmly.

"Where is the chief alchemist Zheng Hai?" Linghu Shanshui asked.

Ru Yin said: "He is refining elixirs to prove his innocence."

"Oh?" Linghu Shanshui raised his eyebrows.

Not long after, an old man with a vicissitudes of life came out. This man was wearing a pill robe, with silver hair, and a haggard face. He was holding several pill bottles in his hand, and they were still faintly radiating heat. They had obviously just come out of the oven.

This person Xu Hei had met, it was Zheng Hai, the chief alchemist who came to the Alchemy House to beg him last year.

The dignified chief alchemist actually knelt down to Xu Hei, which shocked Xu Hei at that time.

"I, Zheng Hai, have met two law enforcement elders!"

Zheng Hai placed the elixir bottle on the table and said: "These are the elixirs that I personally refined. There are twenty-seven kinds in total. Please feel free to compare them! I would like to reiterate that I will never do anything as harmful as poisoning." thing!”

Make elixirs yourself and prove your innocence.

By comparing the poisonous elixir with Zheng Hai's elixir, anyone with experience in alchemy can clearly tell whether the two were made by the same person.

This is a way to prove your innocence.

"Please invite an appraiser!" Linghu Shanshui said.

At this time, an old and short old man walked up. This man had a smile on his face and exuded the fragrance of medicine. He was a master of alchemy in Shennong Valley. He was also a recognized expert in elixir identification - Qinghe. master.

Master Qinghe does not belong to any party, not even to Dongcheng District. He has always been fair and strict, and will never be partial.

Qinghe took out professional instruments and compared the pills one by one, saying: "After my identification, the techniques, appearance, color, etc. of these poison pills are consistent with Zheng Hai's pills. The poison pills are made by Zheng Hai."

"What did you say?" Zheng Hai's face turned pale.

"Haha, Zheng Hai, I can see that you have changed a special method of alchemy. It should be a new one in the past six months! It's a pity that no matter what the method is, the pills carry a trace of the alchemist's spiritual fluctuations. This cannot be faked. No matter how you change it, it can't escape the eyes of the old man!" Master Qinghe laughed.

Zheng Hai took two steps back, his feet were unstable, and he almost fell to the ground.

About a year ago, someone brought pills to his door and asked if he made them. Zheng Hai was upright and admitted it at the time. As a result, he fell a big fall and compensated ten times the spirit stones.

Later, there were more and more such things, which made Zheng Hai realize that upright people would not get fair treatment. He had to be cunning and sly. He had to change a way to prove his innocence.

So, he began to learn new alchemy techniques.

But this time, the appearance of Master Qinghe made him fall flat on his face.

"My pills are fine. The poison was added by someone afterwards!" Zheng Hai said in panic.

"I have observed that the toxicity of these pills is deep inside and cannot be eradicated. It is fixed when the pill is made, so it will have such an effect. It is definitely not added afterwards to frame you. Your pills are poisonous!" Master Qinghe said righteously.
