Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 13

Chapter 013 The Mole Took a Bite
“What? This matter has something to do with you guys?” Cha Jinzhi looked at them curiously.

“Lord Hui, although this matter has nothing to do with this lowly person, this lowly person has always known the truth …” The waiter’s pair of eyes looked left and right, as if he was very afraid.

When Bai Junzhuo heard what he said, he narrowed his eyes and began to ponder.

When Liu Shun heard this, he asked angrily, “Know the truth? Why didn’t you say it in the beginning! You had to come here to tell me!”

“This lowly person only thinks that Atractylodes macrocephala is not a very expensive medicine, and its curative effect can be completely replaced by other medicinal ingredients in that batch of medicinal ingredients. This lowly person did not tell Manager Liu and Miss about this …”

“So you know the whereabouts of this thousand kilograms of White Atractylodes?” When Cha Jinzhi said this, he looked at Bai Junzhuo briefly, but immediately moved his eyes away.

“Lord Hui, it’s not just this lowly person. We all know that.” That person seemed to be afraid that Cai Cha Jinzhi wouldn’t believe him. She pulled the people kneeling behind her and said, “Originally, when Madam was still alive, she took some of the money that Master used to buy medicinal ingredients to make powder. She was afraid that Master would blame her, so she didn’t let too many people know about this matter. Madam also sent someone to revise the records of the accounting room …”

Cha Jinzhi nodded thoughtfully and said, “So it was your Bai Clan’s wife who took the money. Where is she?”

“Not long ago, Madam took all the money from the Bai Clan and ran away.” The man replied, “Sir, please spare us. Please spare Miss. Now that the Bai Clan is on the verge of becoming empty, the Medicine Hall is almost empty. Our Bai Clan really has no choice but to use this thousand jin of Bai Art.”

“What nonsense are you talking about?”

Bai Junzhuo, who had been quietly standing at the side, suddenly spoke in a soft voice that could not be ignored. The waiter who had just begged for mercy widened his eyes and looked at Bai Junzhuo in surprise.

His young miss … isn’t she mute? How could he speak again?

“Your Excellency,” Bai Junzhuo knelt down and said to Cha Jinzhi, “Auntie is indeed greedy for money, but buying medicinal ingredients for your Excellency is His Majesty’s order. Auntie will definitely not use the money inside. Moreover, when Father was alive, this matter was entirely handled by him alone, and there will definitely be no mistakes!”

“Oh?” Cha Jinzhi was slightly puzzled, “Then why did this batch of white spells disappear?”

Bai Junzhuo thought for a moment before turning to Liu Shundao, “Uncle Liu, did you count these medicinal ingredients when they passed by your hands?”

“Of course there is. It’s just that I didn’t count it myself, but Gao Chengzhang, who is in charge of the warehouse, counted it.” Liu Shun pointed at a person standing behind him.

That Gao Chengzhang walked to the front and knelt down, saying, “Master Hui, Miss Hui, this batch of medicinal ingredients was indeed counted by me, but at that time, this batch of White Atractylodes was still in my hands.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the servants turned pale.

Bai Junzhuo swept his gaze across the crowd and said to Cha Jinzhi, “Your Excellency, since there were no problems with this batch of white spells when you were in charge of the Bai Clan, then the situation can only occur in two places. One is what happened during the transportation, and the other is that there are problems with the people you have accepted.”

“How dare you!” Commandant Li said ruthlessly, “Good you, you’re a troublemaker. In just a few words, you can push the matter onto our heads!”

Bai Junzhuo gave him a sidelong glance and said coldly, “Lord Commandant, the little girl clearly mentioned two situations just now. Why did you only listen to one? Could it be that you are guilty?”

“You!”

“Alright, stop arguing!” Cha Jinzhi interrupted them and said, “Miss Bai, I hope you understand that the most important thing now is to find the thousand jin of White Atractylodes. Otherwise, neither you nor I will be able to handle the task.”

“Your Excellency is right,” Bai Junzhuo nodded. “If it was lost during the escort, the maiden has a way to find it.”

“Oh?” Cha Jinzhi looked at her curiously.
