In two days the charcoal workshop had to deliver goods out of the city, but six of the ten mules suddenly fell ill. The housekeeper watching over the Yang Family charcoal workshop was furious and summoned their witch doctors to check whether the mules had been poisoned.
But the two witch doctors examined the six mules again and again and even used a wizard's medicine on them. Not only did they fail to cure the mules, the animals started passing blood.
Two of them collapsed on the spot, whimpering, clearly about to die.
"That old bastard Lv Guixing is looking to die!" Murder flashed in the housekeeper's eyes as he ordered, "Tell the Lv Family to send over six mules at once, otherwise the Yang Family will go to the government office to sue him and make him pay one thousand tael of Silver."
He then said to the two witch doctors, "Go check the other healthy mules and see if they've got the same illness."
