40: Counterfeit drug scandal

Shen Lanxin twisted his eyebrows and said, "Sure enough, it's fake saffron." ”

"Hmph, fortunately, I found it early, and I think the smell is not the same as before, otherwise something happened to you to take responsibility?" The man was furious.

The man was right, fake drugs are not a joke, they are still poisonous, if these fake drugs are really eaten, the consequences are unimaginable. ”

Shen Lan saw that this son was a little familiar, so he asked, "This son looks familiar, he must be our old customer, right?" ”

"Of course, I didn't report to the official because I was an old customer, otherwise I could still talk nonsense with you here?" The man raised an eyebrow, his tone a little calmer.

Shen Lan saw that the man's tone softened slightly, so he saw the stitches.

"This son, there is a problem with our medicinal materials, it is indeed our fault, so let's do it, I will compensate you fifty taels of silver, and I am giving you two pairs of real saffron as compensation, how about it?"

Shen Lan's eyes locked on the man, for fear that he would not agree.

When the man heard this, he thought that it would be too much for him to ask for ten taels or twenty taels of mental damage, but he didn't expect to pay fifty taels in compensation, and he paid two pairs of medicines for free, and saw that the other party looked sincere, and he thought that he had no loss, and he was an old customer, so he didn't say anything, so he agreed. ”

Shen Lanxin wrapped the remaining saffron before and gave the man fifty taels of silver tickets, which settled the dispute.

As soon as the man left, Facai muttered in a low voice, "Miss, fifty taels, you lost a little too much." ”

Seeing the man leave in a hurry, Shen Lanxin turned around and frowned: "It is already a crime to sell fake medicines to others, and it is already very face-saving for people to not report to the officials. ”

"Now it's just fifty taels to settle the matter, he is happy, and he will definitely continue to patronize it in the future."

"What Xin'er said is that I am to blame for this." Roche sighed lightly.

As soon as he heard Luo say this, Shen Lanxin looked at Luo and asked, "Where did this fake saffron come from?" ”

Roche said: "I bought it in the hands of two merchants, just this morning, two merchants came to us to sell saffron, he said that his saffron is in good condition, and the price is lower than the market, I am afraid that it is fake, so I deliberately looked at the sample, it is indeed the best saffron, this is left five packs, but it was indeed real saffron at that time, I don't know how it all became fake, if it wasn't for the person who came to buy saffron just now, I didn't know that I was deceived." ”

The more Luo said the more anxious the look on his face became, the more obvious it became, and at this time, Luo was very melancholy.

At this time, Gao Xu said lightly: "It seems that it has been transferred." ”

She glanced at Gao Xu, was silent for a moment, and then looked at Roche, "How much did all this cost?" ”

Roche said softly: "Two thousand taels of silver!" ”

"Two thousand taels?" If it was really saffron, it would be worth all this silver, but now it is grass that five bags of pigs don't eat, Shen Lan thought about it and said, "No, I will definitely recover this money." ”

immediately looked at Roche, "Mother, do you remember what those two businessmen look like?" ”

Shen Lan stared at Luo Che, hoping to know the clues of the two from her mouth.

Roche thought for a moment and said, "One of them is quite fat, and he has a black mole on the left side of his face. ”

"Black moles?" Shen Lanxin suddenly thought that the person he bumped into before had a black mole on the left side of his face, and he was very fat, and the other person urged him to rush to Nansong's ship.

Shen Lan's eyes flashed, "I've seen those two people, is the other one a little stammering?"

Roche heard her say this, and the other seemed to stutter a little.

Shen Lan was determined, "That's right, it must be them, I know where they went." ”

"You know?" Roche was surprised.

"Hmm," Shen Lanxin nodded. "They must be on the boat to Nansong at this time."

She paused and asked, "What about my father?" ”

Facai said: "The master went to the clinic in the morning, and he hasn't come back yet." ”

At this time, Shen Lanxin's face began to show eagerness. "Forget it, no matter what he is, there should be one last boat to Nansong, I'll go to Nansong now to chase back the two thousand taels of silver, dare to sell me fake medicine, look for him." After speaking, he didn't wait for the others to respond, and turned around and wanted to go out.

As soon as Luo was about to stop her, he was stopped by King Gao Xu.

"Stop, what are you going to do?"

Shen Lanxin turned around and raised his voice: "Of course, I want to return the silver." ”

"On your own?" Gao Xu raised his eyebrows, and his words were full of mockery.

Shen Lanxin opened her mouth, she also felt that she was weak in front of those two liars, so she clenched her fists tightly.

Gao Xu said lightly: "You still don't know where those two people came from, what should you do if there is any danger?" ”

He's right, I don't know what the details of those two people are, but they have been deceived to the doorstep, and it is impossible to think of nothing.

"I can't manage so much now, if I dare to cheat my mother's money, I have to recover it." The firmness of her tone was obvious, and she said that she was going to go anyway.

"Don't go," Luo said domineeringly.

Shen Lan's heart fluttered, "Mother's ......"

"It's too dangerous for you to do this, and the other party is still two men, in case you are in any danger and you make your mother unable to live, we don't want this money, you are not allowed to go." Luo's commanding tone and attitude were even more resolute than Shen Lanxin's.

Shen Lan said angrily: "Then how can I do it, those two people almost got into trouble in our medical hall, not to mention, they also cheated us out of our money, I will definitely not let go of those two big liars." With that, he turned around and left the hospital.

"Xin'er, Xin'er......" Roche was so anxious that he stomped his foot.

Gao Xu's expression was indifferent, and he muttered to himself: "I know that there are tigers in the mountains, and I prefer to go to the tiger mountains!" It's just stupid. ”

Hurry up and hurry, finally get on the last boat, Fengcheng is not too far from Nansong County, the waterway will arrive in half a day, if you want to go by land, it will take at least three days to arrive, because Fengcheng and Nansong are separated by a river, and if you go by land, you must bypass this river and then cross two mountains, so most people will choose waterway.

It was already dark when he arrived in Nansong County, so Shen Lanxin came to a nearby inn called Tongfu.

"This girl, are you going to eat or stay at a hotel?" Seeing that a guest came to the door, a little second habitually greeted him.

"Stay in the hotel." As soon as Shen Lanxin entered the door, he looked around.

"Girl, there is only a Tianzi room left in our store now." Xiao Er said.

"No problem."

Immediately, Shen Lanxin took out a piece of silver and put it on the counter.

"This is your house number, go straight on the second floor and turn left for the first room." Xiao Er handed her the door number.

Shen Lan thought about it, the inn restaurant was full of people, maybe Xiao Er could know the whereabouts of those two.

So he asked, "Xiao Er, inquire, have you ever seen two men, one of whom has a black mole on the left side of his face." ”

"Black moles?" Xiao Er thought for a while, "Did you say that person was a little fat?" ”

Xiao Er seemed to have a little impression of this person.

"Yes, yes, that's him." Shen Lan was overjoyed.

Xiao Er said: "I remember, during the day today, there were two people who came to the stack, and one of them was the black mole you said, but they only stayed for half an hour and left." ”

"Left?" Shen Lanxin's eyes widened.

Xiao Er nodded, "Well, it seems that I was in a hurry when I left." ”

Shen Lanxin continued to ask: "Then do you know where they went?" ”

Xiao Er shook his head: "I don't know about this." ”

Shen Lan couldn't help but be a little disappointed, but she asked again: "How many inns are there in this Nansong County?" ”

Xiao Er said: "Yo, this is a lot, there are more than 30 large and small." ”

"More than thirty?" Lan Xin was stunned, "So much? ”

Xiao Er's tone was quite proud: "Don't look at the small place in our Nansong County, but just a big Buddha temple can attract hundreds of pilgrims to Nansong County every day." ”

Shen Lanxin pondered for a moment and said, "Thank you, Xiao Er." ”

"You're welcome."

In the end, Shen Lanxin took the door number and went straight to the second floor.

Early the next morning.

Shen Lanxin went to the inn after breakfast to inquire about the whereabouts of the big black mole, she planned the route in advance, starting from the first street, and asking one by one from east to west, Nansong is a mountain city, the road slope is relatively large, and the downhill is fine, but after walking uphill for a while, she was out of breath.

Shen Lanxin walked street by street, her legs were a little sore, she couldn't help but rub her knees, at this time, it was noon, the sun was hanging motionless.

She wiped her sweat and walked into an inn.

"Chubby? Big black mole? The shopkeeper shook his head, "No impression, you can go somewhere else and ask." ”

She walked out dejectedly.

This is already the eighteenth, not that I haven't seen it or I don't have an impression.

Shen Lanxin frowned and rested on the teeth on the side of the road for a while. Xiao Er said that there are more than 30 in total, and only then did he find more than a dozen, and if he continues like this, he may have to find it dark.

Forget it, don't rest, hurry up, otherwise it will be dark enough to finish walking.

Shen Lan didn't care about eating, so he continued to inquire.

Time passed quickly, and it was almost dark in a blink of an eye, and there was still no whereabouts of the big black mole, she thought to herself, could it be that she had left Nansong? If this is the case, it is really looking for a needle in a haystack, thinking of this, Shen Lan couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

After looking for a day, his stomach was also a little hungry, so Shen Lanxin came to a noodle restaurant nearby, and as soon as he entered, Xiao Er ran over with a rag.

"Girl, what to eat?"

"Little Er, check out, hurry up." At this moment, a rugged man's voice came.

Shen Lan subconsciously saw that it was no one else who was speaking, it was the big black mole she hit before, that is, the two people who sold fake medicines, and she was overjoyed.

"Girl? The girl ......" Xiao Er took the rag and shook it in front of her eyes.

Shen Lanxin came back to his senses and said lightly: "A bowl of Yangchun noodles." ”

"Okay, a bowl of Yangchun noodles." He shouted.

That's right, it's the two scammers who sell fake medicines, the big black mole on the left side of the fat man's face is very obvious, and Shen Lanxin stared at those two people.

At this time, the big black mole suddenly got up and left her seat, and when she passed by Shen Lanxin's table, she hurriedly turned her face and lowered her head.

As soon as he saw the big black mole going out, he hurriedly paid and followed.

"Girl, your Yangchun...... Face. Xiao Er looked blankly at Shen Lanxin, who went out.

Shen Lanxin secretly followed the big black mole behind and came all the way to a place called Baihualou.

It turned out that these two people lived in the Qinglou, no wonder they found so many homes and had no news at all.

Shen Lan wondered, why did he have such a fate with Qinglou.

She was about to go in when she was stopped at the door.

"Eh, girl, who are you looking for? We don't accept women here. The old bustard, who was covered in fat powder, stood at the door with a handkerchief and said unceremoniously.

"I'm looking for those two guys." As she spoke, she looked inside.

The boss looked at her and said, "Those two people are our guests here." ”

"Guest?"

When Shen Lan heard this, he hurriedly took out a silver ingot, and said coldly: "Let me in this time, right?" ”

"Hehe, of course you can enter with silver." The old bustard took it with a grinning hand.

Shen Lan glanced at her in his heart, and asked again, "Which room did those two people live in just now?" ”

"Yo, girl, this is the privacy of the guests, and we can't reveal it casually." The old bustard narrowed his eyes, his eyes a little greedy.

Shen Lan impatiently took out another ingot of silver from his arms.

"Room 4 on the second floor." When the old bustard looked at the silver, he smiled, and immediately spoke.

Shen Lanxin came to the second floor and found the No. 4 room that the old bustard said.

She crept down in the doorway and eavesdropped.

"Big brother, it's only been ten or ten days, and we've earned 10,000 taels of silver, and if we go on like this, we'll really make a fortune." Skinny stammered with the silver ticket and said excitedly.

The big black mole was drinking tea leisurely on the side, with a smile on his face. "People have no windfall and no wealth, horses have no night grass and no fertilizer, and you must be bold to earn money when you are a man and do things."

"Earn? You stinky and shameless big black mole, this is clearly a lie. Shen Lanxin couldn't help but curse in his heart.

"Hmph, the boss of the Jiji Pharmacy still wants to report to the official to arrest us, it's really beyond his means." Skinny stammered.

The big black mole sneered: "You want to arrest me without a certificate or evidence? It's not that easy. ”

Thin stammered: "That's it, even if you catch it, it's useless." ”

At this time, the big black mole got up, paced and sipped tea, and then said, "Take out another five thousand taels of silver and come out to beat the people on top."

Skinny stuttered with his mouth open. "Five or five thousand taels? Big brother, isn't it a bit much? ”

"Many?" When the big black mole heard this, he turned around and said, "Only by feeding the people above can we make a lot of money, and then we won't earn thousands of taels of silver." ”

As soon as the big black mole brought the tea to his mouth, he remembered something again, and said, "Also, the boss of the Ji Yao Tang is looking for someone to watch him, and if he goes to report to the official again, find someone to break his leg." ”

At this time, Shen Lan, who was eavesdropping by the door, resolutely put it away.

"Bastard, blatantly deceiving people, and breaking people's legs, she is about to kick the door when she lifts her foot......

At this moment, a dark shadow suddenly rushed down from the roof, grabbed her, and flew up again.

Before she could understand what was going on, she was already standing on the roof of the Qinglou.

She froze her swaying body, and when she saw it, it was King Qing Gao Xu.

Angry, "Why did you stop me from arresting the two of them." ”

Gao Xu was really speechless at this woman, "Do you know how dangerous it was just now, if this king hadn't saved you just now, the consequences would have been unimaginable." Gao Xu glared at him and said angrily.

"But I almost caught those two." Shen Lan's heart was a little excited.

"Did you arrest them, or did they arrest you? Bite off more than one can chew. Gao Xu's words were filled with infinite contempt.

Shen Lan's heart puffed out, although he didn't say anything, he was very dissatisfied. "I'm mad, those two are just bastards."

She stamped her feet angrily, and stood very unsteadily on the roof.

Gao Xu looked at her with contempt. "With your uncontrollable temperament, this king really doubts that you are here to die."

Shen Lan glanced at him in his heart, did not refute, just sighed.

After calming down for a moment, her words softened a little: "Why did you come to Nansong County too?" Are you stalking me? ”

Gao Xu said indifferently: "You think too much, it was Mrs. Shen who wanted to bring you back." ”

It turned out that after Shen Lanxin left, Luo was very anxious, so he had to beg Gao Xu to come to her.

Shen Lan shook his hand, turned his face and said, "I won't go back, and if I can't recover the money, I will definitely not go back." "She's still that determined.

Gao Xu clasped his hands on his shoulders and asked with interest, "I would like to hear how you plan to recover it?" ”

Shen Lan pouted and said, "Originally, I rushed in just now and planned to reason with them, but I haven't thought about it yet." ”

Gao Xu sneered after hearing this, but didn't say anything.

"Don't think about it yet, this king hasn't even eaten yet, so I'm going to eat first."

Shen Lanxin glanced at him and couldn't help asking, "Can you tell me how you came here?" Why didn't I see you on the boat? ”

He smiled slyly, "Can you see that it's still this king?" ”

He would never tell her that in order to find her, he specially chartered a boat.

Shen Lan smiled in his heart: "Okay, I will invite you to eat whatever you want, just thank you for saving me." Speaking of this, Shen Lanxin looked down and said, "But can we go down first, it's too dangerous here, aren't you afraid that I won't be able to stand on my feet and fall?" ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Gao Xu grabbed her and flew down.

Hit the ground in an instant.

"Shhhh......h Shen Lanxin has never flown before, but now that he has experienced it, it is really amazing.

She couldn't help but praise: "I can't imagine that your skills are so good, you can fly up so high, and teach me another day, so that I don't have to worry about being caught." ”

Gao Xu said lightly: "If you want to learn, go to the third brother, his skills are not below me." ”

"Will he too?" Shen Lanxin was surprised, how come I never saw him fly! ”

The two returned to the Tongfu Inn together, found a vacant seat and sat down, and immediately shouted, "Little Er, order." ”

"Yo, girl, you're back, what do you want to eat?" Xiao Er said diligently.

"Ask him." Shen Lanxin did not hesitate to go over.

"Childe, what would you like to eat?" As he spoke, he poured a cup of tea for the two of them.

Gao Xu said without thinking: "Bring all your signature dishes here." ”

Small two and one flute. "All up?"

"Don't worry, this girl has a treat, and she won't miss your silver." A smug smile loomed on Gao Xu's face at this time.

Three black lines appeared on Shen Lanxin's face.

Xiao Er hurriedly said: "Of course the little one doesn't mean that." ”

Shen Lanxin glanced at him, then smiled and said to Xiao Er: "Whatever he wants, you can go up." ”

When Xiao Er heard this, he hurriedly said, "Okay, the little one will go." ”

"Hmph, you're pure revenge." Shen Lanxin muttered to himself while drinking tea.

Gao Xu's ears were excellent, and he could hear clearly. "If you say that the king will take revenge, it will be revenge."

"When is the time for retribution, I won't care, since this girl has a treat, it is natural to behave generously so that someone is more stingy, right?" Shen Lanxin's faint tone was a little sarcastic.

Immediately, she shouted again, "Xiao Er, pick the good monkeys on the pot, you can eat whatever you want." ”

Gao Xu smiled slightly: "No need. After saying that, he picked up the teacup and put it in his mouth.

Soon, a table of dishes was served, five meat and five vegetables, exactly ten dishes.

In less than half an hour, the two of them finished the meal.

After being full of wine and food, Shen Lanxin got up and went to the counter.

"Shopkeeper, check out."

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "Girl, a total of one hundred and one taels, I will charge you one hundred taels." ”

Shen Lan's heart was digged, and then she remembered that when she came, she was staying in the hotel, eating and rewarding the bustard, and she didn't have enough one hundred taels on her body, so what should I do?

The first time I invited someone to dinner, I was so generous, but this time I didn't have the money to pay the bill, but it was really embarrassing.

The shopkeeper was still waiting there, Shen Lanxin coughed, and said softly: "Shopkeeper, I don't have enough money, look, can you do it first?" ”

Shen Lanxin didn't know how to say this, he only felt that his face was flushed, which was really embarrassing.

There was a faint smile on the corner of Gao Xu's mouth, she forgot that his ear was very good, he drank tea leisurely, wasn't she very generous to invite herself to dinner, she didn't have money to see how she dealt with the past.

When the shopkeeper heard this, he frowned and stretched out his finger to point to the six black characters on the wall.

"We don't owe any credit."

Shen Lanxin: "...... Holding her forehead, she glanced back at Gao Xu, just in time to meet his gaze that seemed to see through her.

Shen Lan smiled at him wryly, and turned back without a trace.

I really didn't expect that I would also be embarrassed, if I let him know that I have no money to pay the bill, and I can't laugh at me, how will I raise my head in front of him in the future, Shen Lan scratched his head, and thought anxiously in his heart, how should this be good?

What a headache.

Gao Xu continued to look at her embarrassed.

"What, I'll check out the account later, shopkeeper." After saying that, he returned to his seat.

Gao Xu couldn't help laughing, "What's the matter, it's over?" ”

When Shen Lan heard this, he immediately sweated.

"I ...... I'm still full, I'm eating for a while. After speaking, he moved his chopsticks and pretended to eat. And I was thinking about how to end the account of this meal beautifully.

Gao Xu was there playing with the teacup, staring at her quietly to see how she ended.

She felt his gaze in her spare eye, and she almost buried her head in the bowl.

"Not enough to eat? Do you want to order something to eat? Gao Xu said meaningfully.

"No, no, no." Shen Lanxin refused, and he was afraid that he would have to press on it.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up, I don't have the money to pay, but he has money, I can't borrow it, thinking of this, she couldn't help laughing, thinking that this idea is very good.

Gao Xu seemed to capture her instantaneous expression, and seeing the smile on her face, he couldn't help but wonder, what the hell was she doing?

At this time, Shen Lanxin took a sip of tea, cleared his throat, and said, "That, black-faced god, can we make a deal." ”

Gao Xu was very curious, so he asked with interest, "What deal?" ”

Shen Lan said proudly: "A transaction to make money." ”

When Gao Xu heard this, he put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Let's hear it." ”

He wanted to see what she could come up with.

Shen Lan said seriously: "Lend me some money, and I will pay you back, how about it?" Isn't this a good deal. She smiled at him.

Borrow money? He almost burst out laughing, he was simply impressed by her, and doubled? It's a shame that he came up with it.

Shen Lanxin looked at his undulating expression with a blank expression. "How about it, to borrow or not to borrow?"

A smile suddenly appeared on Gao Xu's face, "How much are you going to borrow?" ”

Shen Lanxin stretched out a finger.

Gao Xu's smile deepened, and he asked deliberately. "A thousand taels?"
