Chapter 1942: Chapter 1942: Shop Closure (Part 3)
"Xinxin, aren’t you afraid they might not take action? What if..." Wei Yao bit her lip, "what if they don’t make a move, then those powders..."
"If they don’t take action, the dolls won’t be harmed either." Yang Ruxin smiled, "because the powder is poisonous, but the cloth wrapping the powder and the cotton stuffing of the dolls have been soaked in a solution that can neutralize the poison. However, the Wei family was too greedy and dug out the powder to remake the medicine packs..."
Wei Yao sighed, "The Wei family can’t blame anyone but themselves... However, my great-uncle is with the Court of Judicial, he..."
"He doesn’t have the capability, and he won’t intervene." Yang Ruxin’s lips curled, "Besides, the scandal of the Wei family is already enough to have him in a tizzy. If he dares to stick his neck out now, his career path might just come to an end." Then she called Du Juan over, "Go tell Mingli and the others to spread the word that Dao Xuzi the Divine Doctor’s disciple is in Beijing and can treat all kinds of rare and difficult diseases..."
The medicine packs concocted by Dao Xuzi are not very toxic but are quite peculiar. After more than three days of contact, one will start itching all over and develop rashes. If not treated in time, it will turn into pustules and then ulcers in about a month. Though it won’t kill quickly, it can ruin a face... Ordinary doctors can hardly diagnose the ailment, let alone cure it. Even a Medical Officer like Hen Yizheng can only alleviate it but not eliminate it completely.
She intended to bring misfortune upon the Wei family but was reluctant to harm the innocent.
Once everyone goes for treatment, they will naturally find out that the Wei family couldn’t possibly have obtained Dao Xuzi’s prescription.
She was actually eager to see how the Wei family would respond.
Those who could afford the dolls were all families with some standing; it’s not just that Wei Shicheng is only a fifth-rank official, even members of the imperial family might not withstand such a massive wave of outrage.
The woman who smashed the shop earlier was from the Huaihua General Zheng family, and the girl who had an issue must be Zheng General’s only daughter, Zheng Xianrou.
This Huaihua General, Zheng Yisong, is the guard of Haijin City.
Haijin City, as the gateway to Beijing, is of utmost strategic importance, so naturally, it needs to be heavily guarded.
Zheng Xianrou grew up following her father in the military camp and is said to have high combat power, yet she seldom returns to Beijing.
That woman mentioned having invited the Imperial Physician yesterday, which means Zheng Xianrou had returned to Beijing for a few days, but since she fell ill, she hadn’t shown up.
At this moment, someone else came over, and it wasn’t just anyone; it turned out to be people from the Duke Residence, with government officials in tow.
The young lady of the Cui family from the Duke Residence also fell ill because of the dolls and is reportedly still in a coma. The Imperial Physician has already been invited over.
Yang Ruxin frowned, Daya got involved too? That was unexpected; it seems the Cui family truly cares for her.
Not only is the General Residence involved, but now the Duke Residence is too, leaving the people of Longfeng Embroidery Store in utter despair.
Then Yang Ruxin saw Lord Jiang and Gu Qingheng arrive together; both are in charge of security, so they naturally have to handle such a major incident.
Soon, all the dolls in the shop were loaded onto carts by the government officials, and from the shopkeeper to the clerks were shackled with iron chains. Then with a clang, the main door was shut, and two sealing strips were plastered across it.
"Let’s go." Yang Ruxin instructed.
Du Yunpeng turned the carriage around and left.
