Chapter 40 Moral Reparations

Shopkeeper Xiao, you kid get out of the way first, there's nothing to do with you here, don't intervene on the side!" "What Mu Lao said didn't give Shopkeeper Xiao, a shop executive, any face, and his tone was cold and hard, unquestionable!

He is usually the least inferior to the shopkeeper, because this kind of person is purely a business animal, and there will always be only the word "profit" in their eyes.

But his tone is too domineering, you know, this is the territory of the hundred pharmacies, and he keeps saying that there is nothing to do with the shopkeeper Xiao here, which makes the dignified shopkeeper of the hundred pharmacies embarrassed!

Hearing that Mu Lao pointed the finger at himself again, Shopkeeper Xiao was embarrassed at the moment, but he couldn't refute it, and he didn't dare to refute it!

But even so, Shopkeeper Xiao still had no temper, and he acted as if he was not an executive of Hundred Pharmacy at all.

Because Mu Lao's deterrent power is too great!

This is also the benefit that the identity of a third-order alchemist brings to Mu Lao!

Although Mu Lao helped him suppress Shopkeeper Xiao at this moment, Lin Yan still had to fight back against Shopkeeper Xiao's kindness.

"Oh, since you think that what I have stated is a fallacy, how do you explain that this herb is all cultivated in the same medicine garden, but one plant has undergone a subtle mutation, and the medicinal properties are very different?"

Lin Yan's rebuttal was even more point-to-point, pointing directly to the point of Shopkeeper Xiao.

"Could it be that you hundred pharmacies knew that this medicinal herb had mutated, but deliberately sold it to this old gentleman? Or did you deliberately sell fake medicine?"

His unrelenting counterattack was very sharp, which made Shopkeeper Xiao's eyes glaze and it was difficult to parry.

At this moment, Shopkeeper Xiao either admits that the medicinal materials have mutated, or he must admit that Bai Pharmacy sells fake medicines, which he can't afford. So he had to choose the herbs that had mutated.

And Lin Yan's is also forced, and Shopkeeper Xiao has no way out!

"Huh, this kid doesn't seem to be simple!"

Mu Lao on the side looked at Lin Yan with squinted eyes, he was extremely surprised by Lin Yan's performance, "Not only can I say that rather strange but sounding very reasonable opinion, but this counterattack technique is not like a teenager can master..."

However, he was quite satisfied with Lin Yan's performance, because it saved him a lot of lips and tongues.

And Shopkeeper Xiao was even more angry, he ignored Mu Lao's presence, and ordered Lin Yan to be expelled again: "What are you two still doing in a daze, it's not fast enough to call this little one... Poor boy blast me out!"

At this moment, he also seemed to forget that Mu Lao was on his side, and he was speechless when he was confronted by a poor boy like Lin Yan, who was only a teenager, which made him feel embarrassed!

Those two strong men are also secretly complaining at the moment, on the one hand, they are their top bosses, they are in charge of their own food and clothing, and on the other hand, they are arrogant and unreasonable Mu Lao, which makes them in a dilemma, I don't know what to do!

Since both sides couldn't afford to offend, the two simply froze there, and as for Shopkeeper Xiao's order, they didn't hear it at all.

"What, you kid is really itchy, do you still want to drive the old man out?" Hearing that Shopkeeper Xiao was going to expel Lin Yan, Mu Lao's face became even more gloomy, and then he glared at the two big men, and then looked at Shopkeeper Xiao, and the warning was undisguised.

Of course he wants to help Lin Yan speak now, because he still wants to continue to listen to Lin Yan's "strange talks" about medicinal materials, others don't understand whether Lin Yan's words are reasonable, but he has already begun to approve of Lin Yan's remarks.

Seeing Mu Lao's might, Lin Yan showed a hint of joy, and he looked at Shopkeeper Xiao with a hint of banter.

"Old Mu, you are laughing, where does the villain dare to bombard you out..."Shopkeeper Xiao felt the chill released in Mu Lao's eyes, smiled, hurriedly explained, and then wiped the cold sweat on his head without a trace.

"This little friend doesn't care about his past suspicions, and he speaks for your hundred pharmacies, but I didn't expect you kid to bite a good person and not say anything, and maliciously slander others, I really don't know what to do!" Mu Lao scolded the shopkeeper Xiao again.

————

At this moment, in the inner hall of the Hundred Pharmacy, an old woman with a flower armor was drinking tea with the eight elders of the Xiao family, but they already knew everything that happened outside.

"Elder Xiao, it seems that your Hundred Pharmacies are not in trouble this time!" The old woman looked at the eighth elder of the Xiao family with a gloating expression, and her tone was quite ridiculous.

"This bad old man is really hateful!" Xiao Mingju was secretly scolding Mu Lao in his heart, if Mu Lao made a big deal about this matter, it would definitely not be a good thing for Bai Pharmacy, and it would even affect his status in the Xiao family, as the real person in charge of Bai Pharmacy, his mood at this moment can be imagined.

However, he only smiled faintly at the old woman in the sixtieth century: "Qi Lao should believe in the reputation of my hundred pharmacies, selling fake medicines has never happened, and today's incident is just that old guy deliberately finding fault." ”

"The reputation of the Hundred Pharmacy naturally don't have to worry, but the old body reminds you that this Mu Lao is not like a person who has nothing to do, he has a good reputation in the alchemy world of Qingliang Kingdom, if Elder Xiao can't settle this matter, I'm afraid even the Xiao family will be affected. Qi Lao seemed to be quite familiar with Mu Lao, and his words were full of maintenance.

Xiao Ming was stunned for a moment and asked, "Didn't Qi Lao just come to Qingluo City, and it seems that he is also very familiar with Mu Lao?"

"It's not familiar to talk about it, but there are only so many people in the alchemy world of Qingliang Kingdom, how can I say that the old body also knows a thing or two about him. Qi Lao did not deny that he knew Mu Lao, but when he spoke, there was a strange look in his eyes.

"Then it's better to ask Qi Lao to help Bai Pharmacy a small favor...... Xiao Mingju hurriedly asked, but Qi Lao waved his hand, shook his head and said: "The old man came to Qingluo City secretly this time, it is inconvenient to show up, and besides, my appearance may not be able to play a good role, this matter can only be solved by your Xiao family." ”

"Since that's the case, then Xiao can only be out of company first!" Xiao Mingju heard that she seemed to have some concerns, so he didn't insist anymore, and then stood up and prepared to go out.

"It's okay!" Qi Lao nodded.

But just when Xiao Mingju was about to go out, Mu Lao's voice had already come.

"Do the people inside plan to continue to watch the show?"

"Oh no! looks like this old guy is going to get angry!"

Xiao Mingju's heart sank, and cold sweat began to break out on his forehead, but he could only appear in front of Mu Lao.

It's the Xiao family!

Lin Yan recognized Xiao Mingju at first sight, because he had not been in and out of the Xiao family in the past, and he was still relatively familiar with the eighth elder of the Xiao family.

"It turns out that this hundred pharmacies turned out to be the Xiao family's industry!" At this moment, he also realized this.

However, Xiao Mingju didn't notice him at this moment, but said to Mu Lao with a smile on his face: "Mu Lao, it's been a long time!

He greeted him first as if he had seen an old friend, but he didn't say a word about the "fake medicine".

Mu Lao naturally understood that Xiao Mingju wanted to turn a big thing into a small thing, but he sneered at the moment: "Who should the old man come out, it turns out to be Xiao Laoba, who is known as 'Xiao Papi', how do you plan to solve this matter today?"

It seems that Mu Lao didn't intend to let go of the other party easily, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he revealed Xiao Mingju's "old bottom", which made the face of the eighth elder of the Xiao family extremely ugly.

Because of his style of doing business, Xiao Mingju has always been good at "peeling", so the industry gave him the nickname of "peeling", but if people just call him that behind his back, it would be okay, but Mu Lao said it without taboo in front of so many people, he really couldn't be calm!

But in the face of Mu Lao, he couldn't have a seizure, his face turned like a pig's liver, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

Everyone else couldn't help but want to laugh at the moment, but who dared to laugh out loud in front of the dignified Eighth Elder of the Xiao Family! One by one, they could only hold back, and even Lin Yan almost couldn't control it.

"This ...... Old Mu, don't scold me!" Xiao Mingju can only press even if he has anger in his heart, and he has to accompany his smiling face, "If you can become the worship of my Xiao family, the medicinal materials of the hundred pharmacies can be used as you like in the future, why bother so much!"

He also did not forget to be a lobbyist.

"The old man is asking you how to deal with the current problem, why are you talking about other things?" In the past, the Xiao family invited Mu Lao to make offerings many times, but for some reason, Mu Lao never accepted, and now he still has no interest.

"That's nature, it's just a trivial matter...... As he was saying, Xiao Mingju noticed Lin Yan again, and when he saw Lin Yan's "little girl" outfit, with his experience, he immediately understood what was going on with the "little flower child" in the mouth of the shopkeeper Xiao.

He was also secretly annoyed, and thought of Xiao Donglin's order because Xiao Yingxue was attacked, which made him look at Lin Yan's gaze cold, "I didn't expect that the person who caused this trouble was this kid!"

Lin Yan also noticed his gaze, and immediately felt a strong hostility coming, "It seems that this elder of the Xiao family already has a grudge against me!"

However, he didn't plan to leave there, because he had already noticed that there were other medicinal herbs that he was very interested in, and he was thinking about how to get them.

Many medicinal herbs are often passed through this village and there is no such shop, and I don't know where I will come across it next time, and in order to treat his grandfather's illness and heal his injuries, he must get them as soon as possible, even if Xiao Mingju will not let himself go easily, he can't back down.

But he didn't have to worry too much, because he had a way to make sure that Mu Lao would support him.

Sure enough, Mu Lao blew his beard and glared at Xiao Mingju angrily: "Xiao Papi, I didn't expect such a big thing to be a trivial matter in your eyes, if you don't give the old man an explanation today, you know what the consequences are!"

"Mu Lao, you listen to me first......" Xiao Mingju had to focus on Mu Lao again, he was also very headache at the moment, if he couldn't settle this old guy, the consequences would be really unimaginable.

"The old man is not interested in listening to your nonsense, so you can say what to do about this matter!" Mu Lao interrupted directly.

"Mu Lao is angry, how about I change a thousand jin for you immediately?" Xiao Mingju was obviously a little nervous, now he just wanted to stabilize Mu Lao first, and he couldn't let Mu Lao go crazy.

"What? You really deserve to be 'peeling the skin', the old man has failed to refine the pill many times, and wasted a lot of medicinal materials and energy for this, but you only said to change one plant! Do you think the old man is easy to bully?"

Mu Lao's face became more and more gloomy, and his eyes were scraping around Xiao Mingju's body like a knife, making Xiao Mingju feel a chill all over his body.

Hurriedly apologized: "This matter is indeed the fault of Bai Pharmacy, and I hope that Mu Lao Haihan and Xiao are also here to accompany you!"

Having said that, he was full of slander in his heart, "It's really a bloody mold today! How did you meet this unreasonable old guy, hey!"

But Lin Yan showed a gloating smile at this time, "Hehe, it seems that the Xiao family and Bai Pharmacy are going to bleed heavily this time!"

Because the Xiao family proposed to withdraw from the marriage, he no longer had a good impression of the Xiao family.

"Oh, the old man doesn't want to hear what you pay 'no', what you pay 'no' is worth a few dollars!" Seeing that Xiao Mingju did not have a substantive "expression", it seemed that Mu Lao would not give up easily, and his tone became more and more severe, "Forget it, since you yourself refuse to speak, then the old man will speak for you......"

"The old man has taken a fancy to these medicinal herbs, you can take ten copies of each immediately...... In addition, this little guy old man looks pleasing to the eye, and your people have also rushed into him, what should I do next, I don't need the old man to say anything more!"

As he spoke, he casually pointed to more than 20 kinds of medicinal materials on the counter, and they were all relatively high-priced, which were rare on the market, so it could be seen that he also wanted to take the opportunity to slaughter the pharmacy with a knife!

Not only that, but he also did not forget to "seek justice" for Lin Yan.

Lin Yan didn't expect that this domineering and amiable old man would even think of himself, and now he is in a good mood, not to mention how comfortable he is, "This old man Mu is really interesting, it seems that I can also have a lot of expenses left today!"

"Elder Mu, what is the relationship between this kid and you, how can you be like this?" Xiao Mingju was greatly dissatisfied.

"What, are you really planning to bully customers?" Mu Lao released a terrifying majesty that approached Xiao Mingju, it seems that Mu Lao will not let go of Bai Pharmacy and Xiao Mingju easily.

"No, no! Bai Pharmacy will definitely not do this! Please also ask Mu Lao to withdraw the coercion!" Feeling the strong pressure, Xiao Ming's head shook like a rattle, at this time, his performance was not much better than that of Xiao Shopkeeper.

"That is to say, you agree to accept the old man's suggestion and are willing to make spiritual compensation!" Mu Lao looked at Xiao Mingju with a smile, but the threat in his eyes did not diminish at all!
