Chapter 2878: Chapter 2878: Second to None (Part 4)

The crowd instantly quieted down, and then automatically made way.

Qin Shou hurriedly rushed out from inside: "Sis, brother-in-law, you finally came." Although he had always acted very calm, he still felt uneasy. Now he could finally relax.

Yang Ruxin nodded: "What’s the situation?"

"They say our medicinal wine caused a death, and they’re here to stir up trouble." Hao Jian, after marrying Peng Mingzi, became much more stable, lost weight, and even seemed to have grown taller. Now he was truly a handsome man.

Yang Ruxin walked into the liquor shop, where a door panel was placed in the center with an old man lying on it, his face a dark purple hue. Beside him, two women, an elderly and a young one, were kneeling and crying.

"Are you the owner of the medicinal wine?" At that moment, a tall, thin man spoke, "Look at this, what kind of wine do you sell? It has caused problems for us."

Someone immediately chimed in: "Yeah, originally it was a festival, and we thought we’d splurge just once despite the cost. But the wine we bought for ten taels of silver, after only two sips, my father ended up like this."

Yang Ruxin looked at the man speaking: "Where’s the wine jar?"

"Here it is." A man placed a wine jar down.

Yang Ruxin walked over and picked up the wine jar to scrutinize it: "Are you sure you bought this wine here?"

"We..."

"Everyone who drinks our medicinal wine knows that each jar is unique." Yang Ruxin gestured to an assistant, "Bring a jar of Ginseng Wine."

The assistant went to the back shelf and brought a jar over. At Yang Ruxin’s indication, he poured the wine into a wooden bucket and then turned the jar over.

A strong aroma of wine instantly filled the room.

Engraved at the bottom of the wine jar was the word "Fu," and next to it was written "Wuzi Seven," with the Arabic numeral nine below it.

"This means the wine was produced in July of the Wuzi year, and the number nine signifies this is the ninth jar." Yang Ruxin glanced at everyone, "Those who come to buy our wine are registered, and later they can return the empty jar to get back a tael of silver."

The shopkeeper hurriedly opened the register: "In July of the Wuzi year, we delivered fifteen jars of Ginseng Wine. Jar number one was sold to Mr. Liu from Guai Hutong in the county town, jars two and three were sold to the shopkeeper of Yuelai Inn..."

Yang Ruxin pointed at their wine jar: "Yours is jar number three, so we need to invite the shopkeeper of Yuelai Inn over to confront him to see if he resold it to you."

"Quickly go and invite him." Qin Shou instructed.

A servant dashed off to invite the person.

The faces of those few people changed instantly.

"Before the shopkeeper of Yuelai Inn arrives, let’s verify the authenticity of the jar." Yang Ruxin spoke, and with a bang, smashed the number nine jar onto the ground.

The jar shattered into many pieces, but everyone was surprised to find that there were words on the inner wall of the jar, engraved with "Fuji."

"Come on, smash yours too and have a look." Hao Jian swaggered over and raised his chin at the tall, thin man.

"I..." The tall, thin man’s eyes flickered continuously.

The person who had previously led the crowd began to slowly run away, but before they could take two steps, they were pinned down.

"Now let’s talk about this death caused by drinking," Yang Ruxin glanced at the onlookers outside, "Can someone help buy a packet of rat poison or arsenic?"
