After a while, a few guards surrounded the troublemakers. Seeing this, those people panicked even more.

They were just here to collect some money. Every time a new shop opened, their brother would ask them to do this. Why was this person so easily pushed? He fell and even bled!

Ning Yue ran into the wine shop and pretended to take the first aid kit, but in fact, she took the trauma medicine from her space.

She returned to the shopkeeper’s side and squatted down. First, she cleaned the wound on the back of the shopkeeper’s head and sprinkled hemostatic powder.

Soon, Ning Yue stopped the bleeding from the back of the shopkeeper’s head.

Ning Yue bandaged the shopkeeper’s wound swiftly. Jiang Ying’s eyes widened. His Yueyue was amazing!

After bandaging it, Ning Yue got someone to carry the shopkeeper into the shop.

“Slow down. Don’t touch the shopkeeper’s head,” Ning Yue said.

After the shopkeeper was carried away, Ning Yue glanced at the troublemakers and asked coldly, “Who asked you to come and cause trouble?”

Ning Yue had a strong aura. At first, the hooligans were also stunned, but soon, they were no longer afraid. In any case, their boss would take responsibility. What were they afraid of?

“We’re not making trouble. We’re just here to demand an explanation!” the leader shouted.

“Oh? What’s your name? Why did you come to me to ask for an explanation? Do you know who I am?” Ning Yue asked.

Almost everyone knew about the emperor’s decree. They still came to her shop to cause trouble when she knew. Their courage was commendable.

“My name is Zhu Yu,” the leader said.

Zhu Yu? Ning Yue sneered. This person was the village tyrant of the neighboring village. He was domineering in their village and she had long heard of their name.

“Very good. Zhu Yu, right? What are you doing here? Do you want to cause trouble?” Ning Yue asked.

“We bought wine from you. If something happens, who else can we look for?” Zhu Yu shouted.

Something had happened to their wine? Ning Yue frowned tightly. There was nothing wrong with the wine. How could something have happened?

“What happened?” Ning Yue asked.

“My brother drank your family’s wine and died. What do you think happened?” Zhu Yu shouted.

When the surrounding people heard Zhu Yu’s words, they began to become restless.

They’d been drinking the wine too. Would they be all right?

Initially, they were only discussing softly, but in the end, their voices became louder and louder. Zhu Yu seemed to be very satisfied with this situation. He looked around and said, “I believe you didn’t do it on purpose. If anything happened during the process, you should at least tell us and let us be mentally prepared. Otherwise, many people will die like this.”

Before Ning Yue could say anything, Zhu Yu directly blamed her.

Ning Yue’s expression darkened. Beside her, Jiang Ying was not in a good mood. He was about to speak when Ning Yue stopped him.

Ning Yue shook her head slightly, then turned to look at Zhu Yu. “You said you bought the wine from me. Where’s the wine?”

Zhu Yu seemed to be prepared and took out a small glass bottle.

Seeing this glass bottle, Ning Yue was puzzled.

This glass bottle belonged to the family. She usually used it to hold things. Why would anyone use it outside?

The commoners came to buy wine in their own jars. Logically speaking, there shouldn’t be glass bottles. Besides, there were no glass bottles in this era. Some were made of crystals. Crystals were so valuable that Zhu Yu couldn’t take them out.

Suddenly, Ning Yue had a guess.

At the side, Jiang Ying saw the glass bottle Zhu Yu had brought over and a trace of surprise flashed across his eyes. He knew very well how the glass bottle had come about.

At the thought of this, Jiang Ying turned to look at Ning Yue. Ning Yue leaned close to his ear and whispered, “Go and invite the county magistrate and the coroner over.”

Jiang Ying nodded slightly and gestured to the dark. A few people headed towards the county magistrate’s residence.

Zhu Yu’s statement had already started to make the surrounding people panic. They kept asking for a refund.

Ning Yue raised her hand and said loudly, “Everyone, quiet down and listen to me.”

These words seemed to have a special magic. The surroundings fell silent.

“Logically speaking, once this thing is sold, it will not be refunded, but I know that everyone has doubts about this matter. How about this? After settling the matter, if everyone still wants to return the wine, I welcome you to do so. Before that, I hope everyone will be quiet and wait for me to settle it.”
