Wang Yiyi shrugged: "I will pay Brother Luo the market price. You know I can go by myself, but it's always better for everyone to make money together."

Xie Yu suddenly smiled: "It's clear that Miss Wang has the ability, but Luo Yan is actually sacrificing his own interests by helping you. Miss Wang must offer some conditions, right?"

Wang Yiyi replied nonchalantly, "It's fine. I can find someone else to help. What difference does it make who earns the money?"

After saying that, she turned to leave.

He walked decisively, but in his heart he was silently counting one, two, three.

When she counted to three, Xie Yu indeed called out to her.

Wang Yiyi feigned impatience: "General Xie, have you changed your mind?"

Xie Yu looked helpless. What could he do?

Are we really going to watch Wang Yi go find other people and then use the divine steed to take them to the Northwest?

"I promise you, but you know that it takes at least four or five months for a caravan to make a round trip."

Wang Yi nodded: "I already knew."

He added, "I want to find my brother. Could you please give me directions, General Xie?"

Xie Yu felt a lump in his throat, unable to speak: "This is a military camp, you wait here, I'll have your brother come over."

Wang Yi thanked him happily.

The jade she brought back should be enough to sell for a while, and it will be ready to take over when Luo Yan's caravan returns.

In the following days, Wang Yiyi stopped setting up her stall herself and instead focused on finding a shop.

After looking at the contracts for two days, Wang Yiyi finally made a decision and immediately signed the contract.

After finishing everything, I happily went to find Da Ya and Er Ya. From now on, my eldest sister and second sister wouldn't need to set up a stall anymore; they could just stay in the shop.

Before I even got close, I could see that a lot of people were gathered around the stall.

Business is so good?

Wang Yiyi slowed down, intending to go over later.

After watching for a while, she realized something was wrong. These people didn't seem to be there to buy anything. Her expression changed, and she quickly walked forward.

Daya and Erya were hugging each other, crying softly.

A middle-aged man nearby was shouting, "My wife died of poisoning because she sold your spices!"

There was a stretcher at his feet, covered with a white sheet, from which a human figure could be vaguely seen, and two children were squatting on the ground crying.

Wang Yiyi's first reaction was that they were trying to extort money.

She specifically chose sachets with common medicinal properties that were not meant to be ingested, so how could anyone die from them?

She suddenly stepped forward and ripped off the white cloth, but before she could say anything, she was so frightened that she took a step back.

The pale face indicated that the person was undoubtedly dead.

His face was swollen and swollen, and his hands were covered with red, swollen bumps, making it seem as if he had died suddenly from an illness.

For a moment, she felt a little flustered. Could it be that this person was allergic to sachets?

She forced herself to calm down and said to the middle-aged man, "How can you be so sure that your wife died because she used our spices? We've sold hundreds of our sachets, and no one has ever said there was a problem."

The middle-aged man suddenly turned his attention to Wang Yiyi, glaring at her and grabbing her hand: "Who are you? Are you with them? Let me tell you, none of you will escape. I've already notified the authorities."

Wang Yi resisted the urge to pull her hand away and tried her best to reassure them: "I'm the owner of this stall. This has nothing to do with them. I'll go to the government office with you."

Upon hearing this, Daya and Erya quickly stood up and said, "This has nothing to do with my sister. If you have any problems, come to us."

The middle-aged man sneered, "So you're three sisters. A family of murderers. You must come with me to the government office and pay for your crimes with your lives."

Running away now is not an option, so Wang Yiyi took out a silver ingot: "No matter what the truth is, let's first bury this woman properly. I'll go to the government office with you."

The man didn't even glance at the silver: "You think you can just pay me off with this little bit of money for a human life? Let me tell you, no way! The child is so young and has lost his mother. Murder must be punished with a life."

The onlookers, confused and seeing only a dead body, also shouted that murder must be punished with death.

Before Wang Yiyi could say anything more, the government officials arrived.

Without further ado, they brought the middle-aged man and his family, along with the three Wang sisters, into the county government office.

When Magistrate Li saw that a person had died, he dared not delay and immediately ordered the coroner to examine the body.

The coroner stepped forward, examined the body for a few moments, and quickly drew a conclusion.

"This person used the sachet and may have had a strong reaction to one of the medicines. In a short time, his whole body swelled up and he felt tightness in his chest. This disease can develop very quickly, and if not treated in time, he can die in the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea."

"This is an allergic reaction," Wang Yiyi said, her face turning deathly pale.

What should I do?

Here, this could be clearly defined as poisoning someone, and she was so anxious that she broke out in a cold sweat.

Suddenly, she knelt on the ground: "Your Honor, can the coroner determine which medicine it is?"

Magistrate Li glanced at the coroner: "Can you determine which medicine it is?"

If it were an ordinary person, this case would be decided immediately, but since it involves Wang Yiyi, he dared not make a conclusion easily.

If General Xie comes looking for him, his head will probably have to be moved first.

At this moment, he was also very troubled, and he even hoped that the woman had died of some other illness.

The coroner shook his head; he was just a coroner, not a doctor.

Wang Yiyi: "Since the coroner couldn't determine which medicine caused the death, how can they be sure it was caused by my sachet? Shouldn't they ask if the deceased had taken any other medications before death?"

The coroner stammered and couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

Wang Yiyi changed her tone again and said to Magistrate Li, "Your Honor, this coroner is clearly talking nonsense. Please ask that you hire a new coroner. In the meantime, I am willing to take him into custody."

Shixian County only has one coroner, and to hire a new one, they need to borrow one from a neighboring county. This gives her some time to spare.

Da Ya hurriedly knelt down beside Wang Yiyi and kowtowed to the magistrate: "Your Honor, I sold the goods with my third sister..."

Before she could finish speaking, Wang Yiyi covered her mouth and whispered in Daya's ear, "Find Xie Yu."

Comparing Daya and Erya, she is clearly more useful. She can't guarantee that Xie Yu will agree to save her sister again, but if it's her, Xie Yu will have no choice but to save her if he still cares about her horse.

Wang Yiyi also kowtowed: "I beg the magistrate to punish only me. This matter has nothing to do with my two older sisters. They were just watching the stall for me for a while."

Magistrate Li didn't want to immediately convict Wang Yi, since someone had died, and it wouldn't be right to just let it go so hastily.

If Wang Yiyi's things really cause someone's death, he can send the case to Danzhou and let the Xie family deal with the governor.

If Wang Yiyi was framed, it was her own request, and it has nothing to do with him.

After thinking it over, he agreed to Wang Yiyi's request.

Before Er Ya could say anything more, Da Ya covered her mouth and gently shook her head.
