"Do you still want to escape? You killed innocent people for your own selfish desires. In order to hide the evidence, you poured the drugs into the water to sell the stolen goods, and you almost killed the whole village!"

"Can you bear all these crimes? Aren't you afraid that the souls of those who died unjustly will come to your door in the middle of the night and take your lives?"

The two apprentices who were selling fake medicine were knocked to the ground by Xiao and kept crying and begging for mercy.

"We just wanted to swindle some money and run away. We didn't want to kill anyone, really..."

Disciple A pointed at Disciple B and shouted, "This immortal, it was his idea, it was all his idea! He was the one who wanted to pour all the medicine into the water, and he was the one who made the fake medicine!"

Apprentice B angrily punched Apprentice A and said, "You bastard, you didn't stop me when I wanted to do this. Now you want me to take the blame alone. I'm going to beat you to death first!"

The two men actually started fighting among themselves, completely ignoring Xiao who was staring at them with disgust.

"What else? Bring them all!"

Only after Xiao shouted at them sternly did they stop and confess everything one by one.

Xiao sorted out the whole thing from beginning to end, closed his eyes, and forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart.

"I will take you back to Liyue Harbor, including your master. No one can escape responsibility. In Liyue, a country of "contract", you dare to openly commit fraud. This is an unforgivable crime!"

The two knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly in panic: "Goddess, please spare our lives. If we return to Liyue Harbor, we will be killed by the people of Liyue Harbor. We are willing to return all the money and property we have cheated. Please don't take us back."

"This is not up to you. When you committed the sin, did you never think about this day? You can return the money you cheated, but can you pay for the lives of those you killed?"

The two were speechless and could not defeat Xiao, so in the end they could only accept it silently and were chased by Xiao all the way to the Thousand Rocks Army’s search area.

The Qianyan Army discovered the two men and immediately took action to subdue them. However, when the Qianyan Army wanted to thank Xiao for his help and looked around for him, they only saw Xiao leave in an instant, leaving behind a trace of his shadow.

Three days later, all three suspects in the health product fraud case were brought to justice and taken to the center of Liyue Harbor for a public trial.

Ye Luo, Bai Zhu, Hu Tao, and Zhong Li, the four of them sat around a main table, watching the trial which was attended by many spectators.

After the people of Liyue Harbor learned that they had been deceived, they were outraged and gathered around the scene, shouting and cursing at a deafening pace.

Yan Fei closed the huge book and pointed at the three people righteously.

"First, you forged official certificates from other countries, deceived Liyue's General Affairs Department, and operated illegally. Second, you used cheap flour to disguise health products and sold them at high prices, which constituted fraud. Third, without the correct formula, two apprentices used drugs recklessly to make poison and sold them, causing people to die. Finally, after the incident was exposed, in order to sell the stolen goods, they actually poured the drugs into the water, polluting the water source and almost killing people in a village downstream."

The shouting below became even more exaggerated, almost deafening Ye Luo who was sitting below. He could only hear a mess of sounds, many of which were so unbearable to the ears.

Yan Fei frowned and shouted, "Do you plead guilty to these charges?"

It was different from before. Before, they could deny it because they relied on the fact that the people of Liyue Harbor did not believe Ye Luo, and Ye Luo could not stand alone.

Now, everyone in Liyue Harbor knows about their crimes, and with evidence both present and witnesses, they have no room to deny.

After being executed, the three were taken away by the Qianyan Army, and they will face a long and protracted imprisonment.

The crowd gradually dispersed after the trial, leaving only Ye Luo and his group. They sat around the big table and could finally drink their tea in peace.

Ye Luo sighed: "This matter is finally over. Fortunately, we caught those people in the end and did not let them continue to go unpunished and hurt more people..."

Yan Fei smiled and praised: "This matter is all thanks to Master Ye. You really put your heart and soul into this matter. Yan Fei really admires your efforts."

Ye Luo scratched his head embarrassedly: "Everyone has made great efforts. This is not just my credit. For example, Mr. Bai was seriously injured and has not recovered yet..."

Bai Zhu smiled gently: "My injuries are not serious. After all, I am a doctor, so I know how to recover quickly."

Hu Tao asked, "Bai Zhu, when I came here just now, I saw you chatting with a lot of people. Is it because everyone has discovered that the health supplements are fake that they all thought of you again?"

Bai Zhu smiled helplessly: "Yes, I have been patient for so many days, and now all the sick people have come to me at once. I will take these few days as a vacation. I guess I will be busy for a while from now on."

Ye Luo spread his hands and shrugged: "People with real abilities are more trustworthy. Mr. Bai, your business is getting busy, and we don't know when we can chat and drink tea like we have these days."

Bai Zhu said happily: "If you want to reminisce with me, just come to "Bubu Lu" to find me. Even if I am busy, I will make time to meet you. It's summer now and the weather is hot. I will ask Agui and Qiqi to cook a medicinal soup to clear away heat and relieve summer heat. I am waiting for your visit."

Ye Luo was curious: "A medicinal soup to clear away heat and relieve summer heat? Sour plum soup?"

Yan Fei immediately agreed: "Bubulu sells sour plum soup, which is delicious. It may be the only thing in the whole Bubulu that is not bitter."

Bai Zhu explained: "Sour plum soup is indeed a good thing, and it is also something that the general public can accept and can effectively relieve summer heat. Just like Miss Yan Fei said, there are few things in "Bubu Lu" that are not bitter, but good medicine tastes bitter."

Ye Luo recalled the previous in-game activities. He once obtained a cookbook called "Holiday Fruit Wine". He also remembered that "Sparkling Plum Juice" was sold there.

A way to make money inadvertently circled in Ye Luo's mind, making him laugh out loud.

Hu Tao patted Ye Luo on the shoulder and said, "Ye Luo, it's just sour plum soup. You're not so greedy that your saliva is about to flow out."

Ye Luo quickly shook his head, came out of his fantasy, and thanked Bai Shu: "Thank you, Mr. Bai. I will definitely visit "Bubu Lu" when I have time. I will bring gifts to your door, and you will definitely be looking forward to it."

Bai Zhu smiled and said, "Okay, then I will really look forward to it."

After a brief moment of laughter and joy, the group of people went home as the crowd dispersed. Ye Luo hurriedly ran out of Liyue Harbor and headed for his own farm on Guili Plain...
